Fire On The Inside


She should have known. She was stupid not to see it before. They all were. Tears ran down her cheeks as she fought to breathe. How dare him. No doubt he was evil. Why? Why her parents? Why did it go back to her? So she’s best friends with Harry Potter, big deal. It was another fucking trap. A way to lure him, and it worked. Oh yes, Voldemort’s plan worked. Hurt a close friend of his by stealing away everything from her. Let Harry watch her suffer, let Harry play hero and come to the rescue.

Voldemort made a flaw. He didn’t know his horcruxes had been destroyed. We hunted them all done. Destroyed them, rid ourselves of their exsistance. It was the exact same night that Harry ran to meet Voldemort. He seeked him out. Called him a coward and to come face their fate. Although Hermione wanted to stay by her parents side, she stood and ran over beside Ron, who was watching Harry with intense fascination. Then the place seemed to feel smaller. As if everything had been sucked up. There he was. Right before their eyes. His Death Eaters assembled behind him. Hermione glared, using her wand to send notice to the order. It was quiet. So dead quiet. Then pops of apparation. The Order standing with their wands at the ready. Mad Eye Moody glaring. The Death Eaters each looked up. Hermione's eyes caught one. Perfect blonde hair graced in front of his ice blue eyes, and seeing as how she could see just his mouth, the outline of a smirk formed. Malfoy. Draco fucking Malfoy.

"Well, well. Potter, I didnt know we were having a party tonight." Voldemort hissed. Hermione's eyes narrowed. Ron's grip on his wand tightened. Harry.. Harry just stood stock still, glaring daggers.

"If this was a party, I'd be sure not to invite you" Harry said.

"Dumbledore didn't teach his favorite student the art of manners. I would say he needs to work on that, but as of recent events.. I don't see it as quite possible" Voldemort smiled a disgusting smile.

"I've said it before to a mere memory of you Riddle. Dumbledore will always be with us, as long as their are those of us who stay loyal to him. Unlike your dogs that follow you around, we know the true meaning of friendship. We're not scared, we never once cowered in front of him. He was our friend and a leader. And you Voldemort, you are nothing but a man to follow, because they're terrified of you. After all, why else would Purebloods stand by the side of a half blood. Even if.. you do have a Half Blood Prince on your side" Harry whispered. His eyes flicked over them, landing instantly on the man who had caused him so much pain. His mouth went dry. Severus Snape. The only guy who had somehow slipped underneath Dumbledore's guard. The man who turned in his parents. Harry glared straight at him. "I have two people I want to kill. One standing in front of me" Harry's eyes flickered to Voldemort. "And one man cowering behind him. Thinking he's better then everyone. Oh I agree with Sirius, Snape, you should have stuck with your chemistry set"

"Laugh if you will Potter. You will not be the one walking out alive tonight" Severus said.

"Quite" Voldemort said. Severus stepped back, grinding his teeth.

"Always acting like the puppy Snape. Following a snake around. Playing with it. Soon you'll sink your teeth in the snake and he'll bite back. He's not loyal to anyone. He doesnt care for you. Do you, Riddle" Harry smirked.

"Wipe the smirk off your face, Potter. I must admit your more cocky then your father" Voldemort smiled, a disgusting smile. "That's right, you'd never know would you. You look so much like him, but then the eyes of your mother, emerald green." He placed his finger on Harry's cheek.

"Don't touch him" Hermione said through a clinched mouth.

"Ah. Yes. The mudblood. So. We have the whole mix. Granger the Mudblood. Potter the Half. Weasley the Pure. Yes I know you two. Oh how I know you. It seems you three are becoming ever so popular because of me. I must say, more of a legend. Mind you, that wont last for long"

"That's funny" Hermione used a sarcastic tounge, "I quite frankly remember that legends never die"

"Shut your mouth mudblood" Voldemort said advancing a step toward her. Harry's wand went to his throat.

"Don't touch her" Harry barely moved his head, but mainly his eyes. Voldemort began to chuckle.

"Or what Potter. You'll make our precious prophecy come true?"

"Prophecy or no prophecy, I have no problem killing a low life like you" Harry said.

"Low life? Oh that's a good one Potter. As I recall you are the one who had your parents killed.."

"And you, Riddle, are the one who was in an orphange"

"How dare you, Potter, dont you dare keep calling me by my muggle name"

"Hit a soft spot?" Harry smiled, "Have a bit of an annoyance, Riddle?"

"No more games boy. Let's finish it now" Voldemort pulled out his wand. Harry smiled. Voldemort glared. "One phrase boy, and it's all over. Your precious life is gone"

"Who says it will be mine" Harry smiled.

"Cruci-" Voldemort started.

"Exspellarimous" Harry said. Voldemort's curse was thrown back. He glared at Harry. Harry smirked.

"Damn boy, learn your place" He said.

"This is my place. Between you, and whatever the fuck else you want to destroy" Harry said. "You've cost me everything in my life. Now. Now I get revenge, Now I will fight back" Harry whispered harshly. "I am not some little dough boy to play with. I will fight you, I will fight until either your dead, or I am. But neither of us is leaving tonight alive."

"No Dumbledore to protect your, Potter"

"No. But his advice is. And unlike you, I took it" Harry glared.

"Ava.."

"Crucio" Harry said. He just did an unforgiveable. And suddenly, the figures around began to battle. Hermione went into action after staring of aw at her best friend.

"Sectrum.." Hermione heards Snape's voice. She turned and point her wand at him.

"Exspellarimus" She yelled.

"Thanks Hermione" Ron yelled.

"You bloody little know it all" Snape said. "Avada Kedavar.."

"Crucio" Hermione looked up. A man in a Death Eater outfit. Attacking Snape. Blonde platinum hair fell in his eyes. Snape groaned and twitched on the ground.

"Granger get the fuck out of here. Get out" His ice cold voice settled over her.

"Malfoy?" She whispered.

"Get away from here you stupid girl" Draco's eyes flashed as he pulled off his mask. "Go Granger, get the hell out of here."

"No. I wont leave Harry"

"Leave the Golden Boy damn girl. Leave him. Run you stupid girl" Draco let down his guard to Snape.

"Avada Kedavar.." Snape tried again, this time towards Draco.

"Petrificus Totalus" Hermione whispered. Snape hit the ground hard. His eyes glaring. Quite clearly saying 'damn kids'. Draco ran over.

"Get out of here Hermone. Leave" Draco said. Hermione stared at him. Before grabbing him and running out of sight. She ran in the trees and Draco had no choice but to follow. She grabbed him by the arms and pushed him against the tree.

"What the fuck are you playing at Malfoy" She glared. "You almost got yourself killed over me."

"Yeah. That's what double agents do dumbass. For being the smartest witch of our age, you are a bit dimwitted."

"Shove it Malfoy" Hermione breathed in. "Remember. You cant take your damn mask off like that. Keep it on Draco. Let your hair hang in front of your eyes. That way we dont attack you. Come on, maybe Snape's dead by now."

"Highly doubt it. The damned old bat" Draco mumbled.

"We'll stage a scene, me and you fighting. Draco, remember, before the Dark Lord hits the ground..."

"I have to make it seem as if I'm throwing the killing curse at you. Damn it Hermione I cant say those words to you. What if I fucken hit you with the curse."

"I know it's coming dumbass. You do it right after I say "exspellarimus" to you"

"The fucken Order is stupid. Why didnt you run when I told you"

"Shut up. Harry's almost done, come on" Hermione said. They ran back firing harmless sparks at each other. Hermione came across Snape. She smirked at him. Draco stood over him as well. a-hem, 'crying'

"Severus, what the fuck did you do Mudblood" He said through gritted teeth.

"Avada Kedavara" Hermione said pointing her wand staight at Snape. Snape soon become totally motionless, his eyes staring dead cold and straight. "Lets go, we cant act friendly" She whispered. "Come on Malfoy, to scared to face a muggle born" She yelled. Dementor's flew through the air. Feeding off people. As Draco shot harmless sparks at her, saying no words, Hermione sat her eyes focused. "Expecto Patronum" She yelled. Soon the members of DA began the same words. Shotting off the Dementors. Hermione looked at Harry.

"Av-"

"Exspellarimus" She yelled at Draco.

"Avada Kedavara" Draco yelled.

"-Kedavara" Harry finished. The last thing Voldemort saw, was the killing curse centimeters away from Hermione, and one of his Death Eaters, pointing a wand at Harry. Voldemort thought he could trust the Malfoys. To bad, Voldemort was dead before he hit the ground. Draco turned fast back to Hermione. She had jumped a few feet from the scorched ground. He ran over to her.

"I'm so sorry" He whispered.

"Draco behind you" She whimpered.

"You stupid boy. How dare you. Betraying the Dark Lord" Lucius Malfoy's eyes were furious. "My own son. I cant decide if I should kill you or your little whore"

"I say we settle with neither" The Order was surronding him. Wands pointed. Draco turned and pointed his wand at his father.

"I'll never be like you. You were never a father. So I am not your son" Draco said.

"You joined the Order of the Pheonix. Dumbledore's order. How stupid are you boy?" Lucius eyes lit.

"I'm not a stupid boy. You are the daft one. Trading your life to a man when you had a family. You had a family" Draco screamed at him. "A family, that hates you. I hate what you made me become. I hate you." Draco glared at him.

"Avada K-"

"NO!" Hermione yelled.

"Avada Kedavara" Harry screamed. Lucius dropped so suddenly. Draco's mouth went dry as he stumbled back Ron and Hermione caught him.

"My father tried to kill me" He whispered.

"It's okay Malfoy. The nightmare's gone" Hermione said. They all grabbed Draco and the remaining Order stood. All of them staring at the bodies in black robes. Then there eyes on there friends. McGonagall, Neville, Remus, Moody, Cho, Ginny, Arthur, Bill, Lavendar and so many others.

"Time to rebuild" Harry whispered. "We have to recreate this world." He muttered.

"Potter. I'm new at this hero thing. Let's take this one step at a time. For now, we need rest. We have many funerals to attend. For now, we will have rest, Potter" Malfoy said.

"Oh shut up Malfoy. It has to be done"

"So Potter. Facing the Dark Lord and all. Nice achievement. So now you have a Voldemort free life, what will you do with it?" Malfoy smirked.

"I dont know" Harry said.

"Hm. Scared Potter" Malfoy turned to him, his eyes brightening.

"You wish"
