Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 19 - 'HE KNEW EACH TEAR BEFORE IT CAME – HERMIONE AND GEORGE'
CHAPTER 19
“Hermione dear,” Mrs. Weasley said as she looked at Hermione. “Care for a cup of tea?”
“There’s a figure outside,” Hermione said as she looked towards the door. “I-I saw them in the backyard from my window. I-I thought I would tell you.” Hermione’s face had grown pale as she looked towards the back door.
Bill pulled out a chair for and walked over to the door as someone rapped softly on the door. “Who’s there?” Bill asked.
“I-It’s me. Nymphadora Tonks,” someone said.
Mrs. Weasley stood up and pushed Bill aside from the door. “If you really are Nymphadora, then tell me where did you find Harry Potter on the first day back to Hogwarts in his fifth year?”
“He was under his invisibility cloak in one of the carriages with a broken nose on the floor,” she said only loud enough for Mrs. Weasley to hear. Mrs. Weasley opened the door and in walked Tonks. “Hi Molly,” she said.
“Hello Tonks,” she said as she closed and locked the door behind Tonks. “What brings you here?”
Tonks looked down at her hands and then jumped when Fred, George, and Ginny appeared next to her. George walked over to where Hermione had been sitting and pulled up a chair to sit down. “R-Remus l-left to go and help H-Harry and then…”
“You saw Harry?!” Ginny yelled as she looked at Tonks with an unreadable expression.
“He stopped by our place and asked Remus for help,” Tonks explained. “He said that Ron was hurt and wouldn’t be able to help him for a while and he needed to go on now. He couldn’t wait for Ron to get better because Ron won’t be leaving St. Mungo’s for awhile due to all of the Ministry members that are now surrounding his room. So Harry needed help. He called on Remus and Remus left. But soon after Remus had left, three Death Eaters appeared out of no where.” Gasps were heard all around the room.
“Zat ees terrible!” Fleur yelled as she handed Tonks a mug of tea. “Zen vat happened?”
“I fought them,” she replied. “But what scared me the most was, they were only teenagers. Fresh out of Hogwarts, unforgivable curses weren’t the strongest, and to make it even worse, they were following in the footsteps of their father’s.” Everyone looked over at Tonks because of what she had just said and then they looked at Hermione who was just shaking her head.
“Pansy Parkinson, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle?” Hermione asked.
“Mr. Crabbe’s and Mr. Goyle’s sons were the ones I was trying to battle off but that Pansy girl was with them. She wasn’t following any family footsteps but she was still one of them. The mark was on their arms and they weren’t afraid to show them off,” Tonks explained.
“Of course they’re going to flaunt the marks around. They are saying that they are going to meet up with their leader and that’s not just Lord Voldemort,” Hermione said.
“What do you mean?” Bill asked as everyone looked at Hermione like she was mad.
“I feel like I’ve become Harry in some way because he was always thinking like this but Crabbe and Goyle joined to be like their fathers. Pansy joined to be with Draco Malfoy, the only boy to become a Death Eater at the age of sixteen,” Hermione explained.
“How do you know all of this?” Fred asked.
“I just have this feeling,” she replied. “But I really do feel like I’ve become Harry because he was always the one giving Ron and I ideas like this.” Hermione looked at a very tired looking Tonks and then closed her eyes, as if remembering something. “In our 6th year, when Harry, Ron, and I were in Madam Malkins getting new robes, Harry and Narcissa Malfoy got into a fight. Not Harry and Draco. Harry and Narcissa. She kept saying things like ‘You really don’t want to mess with me’ or something like that. It was really weird to hear her bickering and threatening Harry while Madam Malkins was in the room.” Hermione opened her eyes and looked at the people in the room. “It didn’t seem important then but now…”
“It seems like the world of importance,” Tonks finished. “Narcissa has gone missing along with Draco and Lucius had reunited with Voldemort.”
“What made you remember that?” Ginny asked.
“I have no idea,” Hermione replied. “Just thinking about how Draco was the youngest Death Eater of all times last year just jerked back that memory because due to that day, Harry knew that Draco was a Death Eater. Ron and I just didn’t want to believe it.” Hermione ran a hand through her hair and looked at the people around her who were staring at her. She let out a sigh and then took a sip of tea.
