Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 81 - 'DON'T WANT TO LOCK ME UP INSIDE DRACO AND HERMIONE'
CHAPTER 81
“Hermione, we can easily help you out,” Viktor said.
“Any friend of Krum’s is a friend of ours,” one of his team mates said as the rest of the team lowered to the ground as well.
“Exactly, we can help you out,” Krum’s coach said.
“That would be great but we don’t want to put any of you in danger,” Harry said as he grabbed hands with everyone again. “It was great to see you again Krum but I guess this was just an impulse and…” he stopped when Krum nodded his head in understanding. With that, they apparaited again to an area that only he, Hermione, and Ron would recognize.
“Godric’s Hollow,” Hermione and Ron whispered together.
Everyone just stared at the little muggle village in awe; this was a place that they either had wanted to visit or would have rather seen burned when they were younger. This was the place that Ginny had wanted to go to since she was about the age of three. She had always wanted to see the old Potter house. Was it in ruins? Was it restored? She wanted to know how it was. Pansy had wanted to come here when she was only eight. She had wanted to see the place that her father had warned her about would tell her a tale of nothing but pain and suffering for the Potter family and for her family since Harry Potter had lived. Draco had wanted to go just to see what the Dark Lord had been able to do before he was dwindled down to nothing more than a parasitic soul.
Hermione stared around the little village. There were little monuments around the village for just witches and wizards to see. They marked crucial moments that had happened in the village. It told the story of the night that Wormtail had betrayed Harry’s parents and Voldemort had come to attack. The biggest monument was the Potter House. It hadn’t been restored to look amazing, the way it did before the attack. The outside had been fixed up a little bit but just to keep it standing.
Harry stopped outside of the Potter house and stared up at it. He had been there not too long ago. He started to walk towards the door. Everyone stayed back, waiting for what was going to happen. They couldn’t fully believe that they were standing out side of the Potter house. Harry walked straight into the house, up the stairs, down the hall, and into the last room on the left. The room was small and it wasn’t furnished much but it was sweet. Harry slunk against the wall next to a small chest and drawers and looked at the crib that was straight ahead of him. As he looked out at it, he could see it all over again, perfectly.
“It’s OK Harry, everything’s going to be just fine,” Lily Potter cooed to the baby who was fussing. “Everything is going to be OK. Daddy’s going to take care of everything. Just stay calm my precious baby boy.”
Before long, there was a loud crash and the bedroom door opened, revealing the Darkest Wizard of the time. “Move aside mudblood. I just need the boy,” he said as he raised his wand.
“Harry?!” someone yelled, causing Harry to open his eyes and sit up. He had moved to lie on his side in a small ball as the memory replayed in his mind. “Harry, are you OK?” Hermione asked as she sat next to her best friend. “Harry?” She looked over at her best friend and then out at where he was staring at. The crib had been his. This room had been his. It was the room that he had been in when all of this horrible mess had begun. “Harry, maybe we should get out of here,” she said.
“Yeah,” he said as he rose to his feet and began his way down stairs to where everyone else was waiting.
