Chapter Two

The proclamation was enough to stun him, leaving him breathless. Deep down, on some level he knew she’d been considering the ritual herself but now that it was out in the open, he was so conflicted. The age difference between them of twenty years was just the starting point. The fact that they could fight over the smallest of things was yet another issue they would eventually have to worry about as well. But really, who else was there? “Hermione… are you sure?”
“I… I need some more time to think about it, to decide if this is really what Sirius would want but yes. If it comes down to it, I’ll do the ritual. But when the fall out comes… please, please stand with us?” she could see that while her words were soft and lacking volume, they pulled at him if the look of anguish on his face meant anything.
Swallowing hard, he finally nodded. No matter what, he would stand by her side in this. There would be terrible fallout, no doubt. He suspected that Ron and Molly would take the news the hardest. What their reactions would be though, was anyone’s guess. Ron, at least, would surely hit the roof. Although, since they had not seen him since the fight when he stormed off, leaving them to continue the horcrux by themselves, there was every chance that Ron had washed his hands of the both of them. In which case, the Weasley’s might not factor into it at all. “You know I will, Mione. You’ve stuck by me through everything. Literally everything… I won’t turn my back on you. No matter what happens.”
“I’m willing, Harry. Merlin help me, I’m willing to do this for both you and him. But, Harry… I think the biggest question here is what would Sirius want?” she said, pausing to look at him quietly. “All the planning in the world is going to mean nothing if he doesn’t want to stay with us.”
“Well, we don’t exactly have a way to ask him, Mione. I think we’re going to have to take it on faith that he will. Besides, he falls out of the veil first, right? How much time does he have before his body collapses and he… dies again?” he asks quietly. He hadn’t wanted to ask but realistically, they needed to know. It would take time for Hermione to get from Hogwarts to the Ministry, assuming they knew the exact moment Bellatrix died.
“All research points to approximately twenty four hours. But we can’t be certain. Harry, the research that’s been done about the death veil has been well hidden and buried deep. It’s sheer luck that the books I grabbed from Professor Dumbledore’s office even contained this much information. I would say, don’t count on having that long to act. It’d be nice to say yes, we have time but honestly I’m not willing to risk it. If this is to happen… it will happen as soon as I get to the Ministry. If we had a place to go where I could set the ritual up before hand...” she trailed off, knowing that their options were limited.
“What about Grimmauld?” He knew if was a shot in the dark but anything would have to be better than the death chamber.
“Too many variables. We don’t know when Bellatrix will die, for one. If it’s during your fight with you know who, then there is every possibility that the death eaters will all be focused elsewhere and Grimmauld will be free. However, if it doesn’t play out like that, we could be walking into the lion’s den,” she said, sighing in frustration. “The cottage in Godric’s Hollow is a complete wreck and I would not desecrate the place, nor put Sirius through the pain of returning there. I don’t even know what the condition of my family’s house is at this point. It could be burned down by now, for all I know. It’s something we’ll have to look into, but right now we don’t have the time and assuming it’s in good condition, I don’t want to risk drawing attention to the one place we might have a chance at going to.”
“So the ministry it is. Hopefully we can get you down to the death chamber again, on time,” he said after several long moments of thought, seeing no other alternative. “We need a list of supplies though. What you’ll need to perform the ritual. I’d say we brew some felix felicis but I know better.”
“Yes, I’ll have to go into the ritual free of all potions and charms,” she said with a tight smile. As much as she wanted to boost their chances of this working, she knew better than to do something that would ultimately cause the ritual to fail. “But there are some things that I should start doing to prepare myself. Certain purification spells and rituals. We may not know when she dies but there’s nothing preventing me from doing the purification rituals once a week. Just to be ready.”
“Figure out what you need and then we’ll see about acquiring them,” Harry said after a moment, his mind already working overtime. It wouldn’t exactly be easy to coordinate a supply run but it’s not like they hadn’t done it before. He looked up to see that Hermione was already striding towards her desk, quill and parchment at the ready as she started making a list of what she would need. “You already know what you need, don’t you?”
“I do. I’ve been debating this for a while now. Given the ingredients that I’ll need, it rules out a lot of the smaller towns and villages. That might be a blessing, when it comes down to it. Yes, it’s more people but all the same… it’ll be easier to get lost in a crowd,” she said, quickly writing down the ingredients and items that she’ll need, calculating the amounts she’ll need them in. “I’d suggest Avergavenny. Big enough to have what I’ll need, far enough away not to compromise our current position. I know we’ll have to move quickly, but until we have a direction...”
“No sense in moving if we don’t have to,” Harry replied, nodding in agreement. He watched as she finished off her list and then moved, grabbing her coat. Clearly she wanted to go now, preferring not to waste any time and frankly, neither did he. Taking a deep breath, he moved and grabbed his own coat before they were on the move, quickly leaving the tent and the protective enchantments before apparating away.
