Chapter 26 – Running high with emotions.

Ron had a look of shock on his freckled face, whereas Hermione just stared at Harry incredulously.

“So that’s it, after all this bloody time we finally know.” said Ron, shaking his head in disbelief.

“It was a very brave thing to do! I have respect for what he did for Remus, but what he did for Karis was truly heroic.” replied Hermione

Harry nodded. “He apparated her out of the cell after she had managed to knock out Voldemort, she was unconscious herself but he managed to get her to Hogwarts without the other Deatheaters knowing.” said Harry.

“But now Voldemort knows Karis is alive and well, Voldemort must have had his suspicions it was Severus.” Replied Hermione, wrapping a lose hair around her finger.

“Yes, but he wasn’t sure, he had probably used occlumency; and being Snape is good at it, he couldn’t prove a thing. It wasn’t until Snape was seen coming to Remus’ aid at HollowValley, that he finally realised the truth.” replied Harry

Ron continued to frown, while tapping his fingers on the wooden table that was placed beside the burning fire, in the Gryffindor common room. “So, Harry. If Snape is in trouble with Voldemort than why on earth is he still conducting a rescue mission for Draco? Surely Voldemort will want him killed. Why bother even going there?” asked Ron, his tapping getting louder.

Harry shook his head and pouted his lips in question. “I dunno, maybe he sees himself in Draco, after all; Severus also got in with the wrong crowd.”

Ron nodded as if to say he understood, Hermione however disagreed. “I think he wants to help him because it is the right thing to do; he made a pact with Dumbledore when he joined the Order, he is simply fulfilling his duty.” she stated, while still entwining the same loose strand of hair around her finger.

“Possibly, but either way, brave or not I think he’s a raving loon!” replied Ron, shaking his head, his freckled face showing a sign of disbelief.

Harry expressed a deep sadness in his eyes and Hermione gently grabbed for his hand. “It was their faces.” he said quietly. “Seeing them there, laying on the floor trying to protect them selves while screaming for their daughter. It was the most horrific thing I have ever seen in my life. It felt like I was watching my own parents die.” Harry stopped speaking, as he could feel his eyes start to well up and his throat tighten with trapped air; that continued to form around his swollen Adams apple.

“Hermione and Ron just sat there, not knowing what to say. “Poor Karis.” Is all that escaped from Hermione’s lips. Whereas Ron’s tapping got louder, but it hummed notes of pure anger and frustration.

“He has to be stopped Harry, they all do!” said Ron adamantly.

It was late in the common room. Ron and Hermione had decided to stay up and wait for Harry to get back from his occlumency lesson with Karis. At first he didn’t want to talk to them but after a while of Ron coaxing him with chocolate frogs and a large glass of butterbeer, he finally relented.

“Well, I’m off to bed, I’m knackered!” muttered Harry, getting up from his chair.

“I’ll join you Harry, but I need to say goodnight to my girl first so I will see you in a few minutes!” replied Ron, glancing at Hermione, throwing her a mischievous wink.

“Yeah, don’t worry; I’ll leave you two in peace. Good night Hermione.” said Harry, bending down, giving her a quick friendly kiss on the cheek. “Night Harry.” she replied. “Oh, and close your mind tonight, you have been through enough for one evening!” she ordered, caringly.

“You can say that again!” he uttered, as he turned and trudged his way up the stairs, longing to fall into his soft alluring mattress.
