Harmony had no trouble conjuring Shell cottage in her mind in order to Apparate; she was possessed with so many memories of being there. They were memories she hadn't been able to get out of her mind for the past two weeks. Just one night there and she had broken so many barriers in her relationship with Voldemort. She knew they were memories she would never forget, both the good and the bad.
Harmony squared her shoulders and closed her eyes, rejoicing in the fact she was about to see her best friends. Feeling the familiar pull of the Apparition, she twirled in the air and felt her body leave all time and space.
Then wham!
Harmony screamed from shock and collapsed to the ground. Instead of feeling her snapinto place like she was supposed to, Harmony felt as though she had sprint face-first into a brick wall. A loud-pitched whining filled her ears and she covered her ears with her hands. When she gasped, she tasted salt in the air. Harmony opened her eyes; she had made it to Shell cottage, but her Apparition had stopped her from going twenty feet of the building.
The door of the cottage burst open and the high-pitched whining ceased. Harmony removed her hands from her ears and stood among the tall sea grass that came up to her thighs.
Harmony recognized Bill Weasley as he walked ahead of the group of people that flood out of the cottage. She immediately knew everyone else: most of the Order, including Lupin, Tonks, and Moody. There were all of the Weasley's…except Fred, of course; George looked out of place without his twin. Then there was Harry. He stood with Ron and Ginny at the back of the group where the adults took up the front. Harmony noticed every single person had their wands drawn, prepared for battle.
She held up her hands so they clearly saw that she was unarmed and meant them no harm. They wouldn't really hurt me, would they?Harmony wondered, but everyone looked at her like a stranger. Didn't they recognize her? Then Harmony supposed her dark clothing and filthy untamed hair made her look like a Death Eater, so she spoke aloud to assure them.
"Everyone, it's me." Her voice cracked, and she swallowed before continuing, "Don't you recognize me? I'm Har-Hermione." She flinched at mistaking the names. Then the question popped into her mind: Who was she? Harmony or Hermione?
She noticed most of the Weasley's relaxed at her voice, but Harry and the Aurors cold wariness didn't change.
Bill spoke up first, "We know who you are, Hermione. But what are you doing here?"
Harmony took a step forward and everyone tensed, so she froze. "I need help. I don't know if you believe in everything the Ministry and the Daily Prophet have been telling you, but I'mtelling all of you, they lie. I was never a Death Eater." She rolled up her sleeves to show them her bare arms where the Dark Mark would've been. Her Serpentine charm nearly slithered out into view on her left arm, but she covered it in time.
Remus Lupin stepped forward and Harmony thankfully noticed he had lowered his wand. "Hermione, the whole Ministry is hunting for you. They want justice for your actions as much as they want it from Voldemort himself."
The moment the dark wizard's name was spoken, tension rattled everyone up again and Harmony could almost sense his presence among them.
She quickly smiled to ease the strain. "I can explain everything-"
"Can you explain why you escaped Voldemort from Hogwarts?" a voice called angrily from the back of the group and everyone turned to see Harry approach with wand in hand.
"Harry," Harmony whispered pleadingly.
"I saw it with my own eyes," he said on the brink of shouting. "You fought off those Ministry workers. You stopped me from killing him, Hermione. Voldemort could be dead now if it wasn't for you!"
"I know how terrible it looks, Harry, but I had my reasons."
"You left all those months again," Harry continued, "without telling Ron or me anything."
"That," Harmony said quickly, "was because Dumbledore and Snape told me not to tell anyone. You see, Harry, it was all because of Dumbledore I was sent to Voldemort—it was a part of his plan!"
Everyone exchanged glances at this and eventually wands were lowered.
But Harry didn't look away from Harmony. He glared up at her and asked slowly, "Dumbledore planned for you to stop me from killing Voldemort?"
Harmony almost wanted to laugh, but she suppressed her emotions and shook her head. "I don't think so."
Alastor Moody limped forward on his walking stick and grasped Harry's shoulder. He growled in his deep voice, "I think we should let Miss Granger do her explaining inside, if that's alright with you, William."
Bill Weasley nodded.
Everyone filed back into Shell cottage, pocketing their wands, and Harmony descended the grassy hill to follow them. Before going inside, she noticed Ginny had stayed around to wait for her. She met Harmony with a small smile.
"I never believed what the Daily Prophet wrote about you." Ginny said, and she linked arms with Harmony. Then, before entering the cottage, she whispered into her ear, "Neither did Ron."
