chapter 2
Harry and Hermione sat in silence on the playground,
each at a loss for words.
"It's getting late, Hermione. We should get moving,"
Harry said, remembering his encounter with the
dementors when he had been out too late.
"Harry, I know it's still before school, but would you
want to go ahead and move to my house? We have a
spare room and I'm sure my parents would be happy to
have you."
"But what about their safety? Harry said. "Voldemort
is probably waiting for his moment..."
"We have a strong defence system of wards Professor
Dumbledore set them up at the beginning of the summer.
We should be perfectly safe."
"I hate that you're in danger simply because you're my
friend," Harry said angrily.
"I wouldn't`t change it for the world," Hermione said,
patting his shoulder awkwardly.
"Let's go back to my place. I just need a few minutes
to get my things and we can go," Harry said, spirits
lifted by the prospect of getting out of the Dursley
household weeks early.
"We should meet with Professor Dumbledore as well. I
think...he should know," Hermione said quietly.
"Maybe he does already," Harry said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well he seems to know everything. Do you really
think that he wouldn't think something like Tom Riddle
being your father would be important? We need to
confront him and tell him that we know," Harry said.
Both were quiet with this new knowledge. Could
Dumbledore really have known this and not told them?
What else had he neglected to mention?
Hermione cast a spell on the letter and a few minutes
later, the new Portkey had placed them back in Harry's
room. Quickly he gathered his things, scribbled a
quick note for the Dursleys and together, they set out
for Hermione's house, this time via Floo Powder in the
living room fireplace.
Hermione's parents were understandably startled to see
their daughter and a friend pop out of the fireplace,
but they welcomed Harry with a friendliness that
brought a twinge of regret. Would his parents have
been like this? He would never know.
Hermione wrote a quick note to Dumbledore and sent it
with Hedwig.
"Now what?" She said, craning her neck to look at the
clock. It was one in the morning and both of them
were exhausted.
"We wait for a response from Dumbledore. But first,
sleep," Harry said good-naturedly, bidding Hermione
good night and heading to bed. It was some time
before he fell asleep, his mind filled with concern
for Hermione.
It didn't matter who her father was, he decided.
Hermione was a Gryffindor. That meant she was
innately good...right?
Morning came too quickly, bearing with it a response
from Dumbledore, stating that he would meet them at
the Hog's Head at noon. Sleepily, Harry glanced at
his clock. It was already 11:30.
He woke Hermione and quickly, they dressed and Flooed
to the Hog's Head with five minutes to spare. A quick
glance around the restaurant showed Dumbledore waving
them into a booth.
Harry and Hermione entered, surprised to see Remus
Lupin sitting beside Dumbledore. He looked as tired
as Harry felt.
"Hello Professor," Harry said to Lupin.
"Harry, I'm not a professor anymore. Call me Remus."
"Right," Harry said, abashed. "Sorry, Professor."
Remus just rolled his eyes.
"Headmaster, we're here because...well, I found out
that I'm adopted. This isn't easy for me to believe,
but I looked up the records and it was there in black
in white. My mother died in childbirth. Tom Riddle
is my father."
Dumbledore nodded once and looked at the two of them
over his half-moon glasses. For the first time, those
normally twinkling blue eyes seemed to hold something
dark and sinister.
"I see. I was hoping your parents would choose to
withhold that information until Voldemort was
defeated. Alas."
"I suppose I'm worried. What if...what if I'm evil
like him?" Hermione said urgently.
"You make your own destiny, Hermione," Remus said
gently.
"I think the two of you need some food and drink. I
will be right back," Dumbledore said, getting up and
heading for the bar.
They sat in awkward silence. The food seemed to be
taking an abnormally long time to prepare. Harry slid
out of the booth. "I'll go see what's taking so
long."
He was surprised that he didn't see Dumbledore
anywhere in the Hog's Head. Harry moved to the door
and checked outside.
His vision went black almost immediately as a gloved
hand went around his mouth and a stunning spell went
into his back.
"Get the girl." Harry recognized the silky voice as
Voldemort's and tried to move out of the firm grasp
the Death Eater had on him, but to no avail.
Moments later, another Death Eater emerged from the
restaurant with Hermione thrown over his shoulder.
Remus ran out of the Hog's Head, wand at the ready,
but he couldn't get a clear target with Hermione's
body in the way.
"Tell Dumbledore what you saw here today, wolf,"
Voldemort hissed and disapperated with his Death
Eaters and two of the wizarding world's most valued
members.
Dumbledore appeared a few moments later, hands laden
with food.
"Remus, what are you doing outside? Did I miss
something?"
Remus could only stare into the distance, where Harry
and Hermione had been a second before.
