I found this story at a nother website so i haven't made it


"BOY!" Vernon Dursley yelled as his nephew walked sluggishly into the kitchen. It was currently the summer after Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts and things had not gone well. The worst part being Harry lost his godfather in the Ministry of Magic and he felt that it was all his fault.

"Yes Uncle Vernon?" Harry said, his uncle turning a shade of purple, clutching a letter in his hand.

"What's this!" his uncle yelled, angry.

Harry took the letter from his uncle's out stretched hand and read,

To Mr and Mrs. Dursley

I hope this letter finds your family and yourselves well. As I am sure you have been informed grave times have fallen down onto our world, grave times indeed. A dark wizard is after your nephew, young Mr. Potter. It is much to my distress that I tell you that until further notice we do not have the man power to station an agent out side of your home. But do not fret the blood ties between Mr. Potter and you Mrs. Dursley is more then enough to keep your family safe. So please take care and we expect to see Harry back by the start of the school term. If you have any questions at all feel free to owl me. I'm sure Harry wouldn't mind if you used Hedwig.

Sincerely,

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

p.s- Do tell Harry to keep sending his letters along every three daysThank you.

Harry stood shocked, even he knew this wasn't good, not good at all. For the last two weeks Moody's threat had kept the Dursleys at bay...but this, this wasn't good at all.


"Well boy?"

"A letter from my headmaster," Harry said innocently as he felt a swelling sting on his left cheek.

"Now listen here boy. You have none of those freaky friends of yours to protect you so it's time we go back to the old ways eh?"

"Please," Harry said, almost in a begging tone.

"We've been to loose with you boy!" Vernon said, punching Harry in the gut, an evil glint in his eyes.

"Uncle Vernon!" Harry said, pleading...trying to get away, cursing himself for leaving his wand in his room but most of all knowing what was coming and believing with every fiber of his being he deserved it.

Vernon kicked Harry again, and again, every so often laying a punch as the boy to small and weak, was not able to defend himself. Vernon didn't stop until Harry laid on the cold kitchen tile, blood running from his lip and nose, knocked out cold. Vernon stood over the boy with a nasty smile as he lifted Harry's arms and started to drag him towards the basement door. Harry was going to have a summer he was never going to forget.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>

"Ronald!" Mrs. Weasley cried, her son followed by his older brothers Fred and George and their sister Ginny all came rushing down the Burrow stairs, wands in their hands.

"Mum what's wrong?" Fred asked, his mother was a white as a ghost.

"Oh dear, oh my dears it's horrible. Your father just floo-ed,"

"What?" Ron asked, getting worried.

"It's the Grangers Ronald, the Grangers have been attacked," Mrs. Weasley said, not sure how to break it to her son.

"Hermione?" Ron croaked out.

"She's at St. Mungo's Ron, but oh my dear it seems her parent's, her parent's didn't make it,"

Ron felt as if the world had stopped moving, Hermione was hurt and in the hospital and her parent's where killed. What was he to do? What?

"Can I go...I mean can we go see her?" Ron asked in a whisper.

"Yes you go on right threw the floo, your father will be waiting for you on the other side," Mrs. Weasley said, Ron nodded, his face that of stone. In a daze he threw the floo powder into the fireplace and soon found himself spinning out of control until he landed on the hospital floor.

"Mum I want to go?" Ginny said, she wanted to be there to support her friend.

"Not now Ginny. I need you to go clean your room and boys help her set up the cot!" Mrs. Weasley said, leaving no room in her tone of voice for argument, she meant business.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>

"How is she Da?" Ron asked as his father lead him down to a closed door.

"She's shaken up bad and in shock. She has some cuts and bruises but nothing physical she can't bounce back from. Will you be alright with her? I need to call your mother about some details pertaining to Hermione?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"I'll be fine," Ron said as Mr. Weasley left and Ron knocked on the door. When he received no reply and slowly opened the door and was shocked when he saw Hermione curled up on the bed, her hair tied up, a complete mess but that wasn't the shocking part, no the shocking part was she had a little baby in her arms.

> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>

Harry woke up, his vision was blurry because his glasses where missing. He tried to stand up but couldn't, his legs where stiff and his arms where tied to a pole and his ankles tied together. He looked down to where his shirt should of been but could only see his chest, his boxers and his legs, he swore.

"No use struggling boy, you haven't gotten your magic stick thing, nor is any one coming to help you! Your mine boy!" Vernon Dursley said his black belt in his hand.

"Your not going back to that school boy, your going to stay here until I decided you die,"

Harry managed a single gulp before the black belt struck his chest, hard. With out a rhythm the belt came down on his body, Harry thrashed about but was bound tight, he resisted the urge to yell, he wouldn't give that to his uncle, he couldn't.

After about a half hour of being a whipping toy Mr. Dursley stopped. "I'll be back soon boy."

As Harry heard the basement door click close he let out a short sob, trying to loosen the bonds that kept him but how ever they where tied he could not un do them. For now Harry was stuck at the mercy of his uncle, Vernon Dursley.

>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>

"Hermione?" Ron said, uncertain.

Hermione looked up, her eyes where red, bruised and puffy from crying. Ron immediately noticed a cut that ran from her chin to her ear.

"Ron," Hermione said, her voice raspy, "Ron what are you doing here."

"I'm here for you Hermione. I heard what happen. Bloody hell Hermione I'm sorry!"

"I...I can't believe they gone Ron. I mean they where my parents, not by blood but...,"

"Wait what? Hermione I didn't know you where adopted?"

"I just found out yesterday when he arrived," Hermione said looking down at the little boy in his arms.

"Who is he?"

"His name is Chris, Christopher Black,"

"What?"

"Ron," Hermione said almost hysterical now, "Ron he's my brother and...Sirius, I think Sirius was our birth Da."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>

Harry woke up, his body was sore and ached all over, he could feel the open wounds over his body, he heard the door squeak open.

Mr. Dursley said nothing to Harry as he sat in front of the boy eating a sandwich, Harry didn't realize how hungry he was till then. When Mr. Dursley was done he got up and yanked at Harry's hair, "Your parents where freaks and so are you boy." Harry was then kicked hard in his family jewels and was left scrawling on the floor.

whoa !!! going to fast.....

the theme is nice can be continued..... but go slow...on it.... Harry abused by his relatives, Hermione's Parent's Dead and Upon that Sirius being Hermione's Father all in the first Chap. that too in the first two pages.... too fast even for Miachel Schumacher....

While writing stories you start slowly and maybe later on pick up pace if the story demands it... if you start at a fast pace then latter on you'll go sluggish to make up pages... that may make the reader's loose interest....

overall as I said the story's base-line is good.. you can built it up from here slow n steady keep up the good work....

"Your brother?" Ron croaked out.

"I...yes...yes he's my brother. There was a letter, I wasn't meant to find him, my parents where but I did and the letter, the letter said he was my brother and that his birth father, our birth father had recently perished and that she couldn't take care of him and she said, she wrote down our fathers name! Why would she do that!"

Ron went to answer but Hermione cut him right off.

"I don't know why she would do that! But all I know is the next day my house was attacked my death eaters, my parents killed. I tried to protect them Ron, I grabbed my wand and sent so many curse, anything I could think of but it wasn't good enough it just wasn't," finished Hermione in a sob, the boy in her arms started crying to, screaming.

"Hermione?" Ron said worried.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO RON! THERE ISN'T A BLOODY BOOK FOR THIS," Hermione yelled, very unlike herself.

Ron stood still for a moment before reaching down and taking the baby, Christopher from his sisters arms and rocking the boy into a light slumber, Hermione looked at him perplexed.

"I live with my Mum," Ron said as if explaining what he was doing.

"Hermione I know I haven't always been there for you but I really am your friend, you can trust me."

"I don't want to do this alone Ron, I don't want to be alone," Hermione said, Ron not in the five years he'd known Hermione had ever seen her this way, but his response came from his heart.

"So then you won't. That's what I'm here for Hermione, that's what Harry will be here for. We're friends that's what we do!" Ron said as there was a knock on the door.

"Dad?" Ron said.

"Hi kids. Hermione how are you?"

"I've survived," Hermione said as an answer.

"I've come with some news. Hermione, Molly and I would like to invite you and your brother to come live with us. You'll have to live with Ginny but Molly and I will help you with your brother, that is if you wouldn't mind?"

"Mr. Weasley I, I don't want to be a burden on your family. He's a baby and he'll need a lot of care," Hermione said, trying to wipe away her tears.

"Hermione my wife and I are more then able to handle raising one little boy. We owe it to the girl whose looked after our son and a man whose life was cut to short. Now if you'll agree the healers says I can have you checked out and at the Burrow before dinner." Mr. Weasley said.

"Okay," Hermione said, thinking of the new life she was going to lead with out her parents and now as a big sister.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>

Harry laid on the floor coughing up blood that was seeping into his lungs. Wearily he moved his hand to a loose brick in the wall and pulled out the piece of cardboard he had found near by him. With his own blood he continued writing a message that he had been working of for he didn't now how long, his sense of time was lost.

His coughing became more constant, with swollen eyes he looked at himself. Bloody scars, scabs and bruises running all along his body. His back baring the most of it as well as his thighs. Vague thoughts ran through his mind, thoughts of death, of his parents, of Sirius but then of the Weasley's, of Hermione, of Ron, Ginny and of his destiny.

He coughed again, more violently then last time.

"No," he coughed out in barley a whisper, "Not yet, not yet..." coughing once more, shaking his body his body in a spasm as the door opens to the basement and his uncle walks down the creaky stairs, an object in his hand that he can't make out.

"I'm sick of you boy! Sick of your mess and the pain you cause my wife. It ends now, it ends for once and for all," Vernon Dursley said, raising the object and soon Harry felt two pushes against his skin, two bullets hitting him, one in his upper leg another in his stomach.

"Say good night boy," Vernon said letting off one more shot, hitting Harry cleanly through the chest.

The last thing Harry saw was a bright blinding light and the rush of flapping wings before everything went dark.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>

It had been a couple of weeks since Hermione and her brother, Chris had moved in with the Weasleys and every one was assimilating quite well. With some convincing Mrs. Weasley got Hermione to agree to let her keep Chris in her room and with Ron, Fred and George's help Mr. Weasley had pulled out one of the boys own cribs. Mrs. Wealsey had Chris mean while checked over by the family healer and Chris was announced healthy and around 3 months old.

"Ron," Hermione said walking into the kitchen as her friend was feeding her brother.

"Hermione why won't you let the healers get rid of that scar?"

"Ron I've told you. I want to keep it, a reminder to never forget," she said her voice breaking, "to never forget what they did to my family."

"It's your warrior scar, like Harry," Ron said, trying to tease her a bit.

"Speaking of which have you heard from him. I'm really worried, we haven't heard from him all summer,"

"I'm sure he's alright Hermione. He's probably under a large amount of security or maybe Dobby's stealing his mail again," Ron said trying to reassure Hermione while thinking to himself that he was afraid as well.

"I don't know Ron,"

"Listen I'm gonna see the twins soon. I'll see if they will close the store and go with me okay. Don't worry,"

"Everything is going to be okay isn't it Ron," she asked, needing reassurance.

"Just fine, everything will be just fine,"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>

"Open your eyes Harry," Harry heard a woman say, he did as she said with a moan.

"Bloody hell am I in heaven," he said his voice slightly raspy he announced as he saw a woman with almost white blonde hair, eyes as blue as the sky and perfect pale skin.

"Not with that language young man!" the woman said, pushing some of her hair behind her ear.

"You're a...a..."

"An elf? Why yes I am. Actually my name is Ona, Princess Ona of Pyrexia which is where you now are, so welcome."

Harry just stared with his mouth hanging open.
