Y/Ns POV

I made my way back to the common room after I found out that Professor McGonagall was my godmother. The way back was a bit scary, especially when I'm trying to avoid Filch. Thank God he wasn't around.

After checking each corner several times so i could see if Filch was peeking anywhere, I eventually made it to the Fat Lady. As I approached her, I muttered the password and the portrait slid open. Revealing a sleeping Hermione Granger sitting up on the couch. She must have been waiting for me.

Wow, she is really cute when she's asleep.

I've been thinking a lot about what I saw in the mirror during Christmas. Where I saw me and Hermione together with our supposed child. I couldn't help but wonder if that could potentially be my future.

Ever since I met her in Diagon Alley, I felt as though I had this strange connection with her, like we were supposed to meet each other at some point. She was my first ever friend and we've always been there for each other whenever we needed it.

She really is an amazing person. I did have to admit she was also pretty adorable.

But I also can't help but wonder if I really do have a crush on her.

Could I?

I don't know.

It was pretty late, so I should get some sleep as well. Only thing is, I can't leave Hermione all by herself, and I can't take her up to the girls dormitories for obvious reasons.

So I decided to sleep next to her on the couch. I sat down next her and put my arm around her shoulder. Then I decided to make a bold move as I kissed her forehead.

"Good night, Mione" "sweet dreams" I whispered to her as her head dropped onto my shoulder and I drifted off to sleep.

Hermione's POV

As I woke up the next morning, I found myself on the same couch where I was waiting for Y/N. When I slowly started to wake up, I noticed that Y/N was now with me, but I was laying on top of him right on his chest as he was fast asleep.

I shook him gently for him to wake up as he stirred and slowly woke up.

"Good morning Mione." He said in a dazed tone.

We both then realized the position we were both in and how close our faces were as we started to blush madly and quickly sat up on the couch.

"So uh, did you s-sleep w-well last night?" He said stuttering.

"Y-yeah how about yourself?" I answered as I blushed.

"Fine and dandy." He replied.

"I was waiting for you, you know." I said. "What did Professor McGonagall want last night?"

"Oh, thanks for waiting for me." He said while blushing. "I'm not in trouble. She just wanted to talk."

"About?" I asked.

"She just said that I remind her so much about both of my parents." He replied.

"Well that's nice of her to say." I said. "But wasn't your mum in Ravenclaw? McGonagall is the head of Gryffindor."

"They must have known Harry's parents in school so I'm sure that's how she knows them." He replied.

"Wow, that's great!" I said.

"Yeah, and that's not the only thing."He continued."Professor McGonagall also happens to be my Godmother."

"No way. That's amazing!" I replied.

"That's what I said last night." He said "I always liked McGonagall, and to now know that she's family makes me like her even more."

"Knowing that, it's probably best not to get into trouble again." I said in a bossy like tone.

"You are right." He said. "Speaking of which, we have detention tonight, and with Malfoy. Just what we needed."

"You can say that again." I replied.

"We should probably get ready for classes now, I'll see you soon ok?"

"I'll see you soon Y/N" I replied with a smile and taking his hand and squeezing it. It's something I've grown to like doing.

He smiled back as we both blushed.

Y/Ns POV

By the time lunch came around that same day, two owls came into the Great Hall. One of them came to the Gryffindor table and delivered a letter telling all four of us where our detention was. In the corner of my eye, I saw that Malfoy had received the same letter and was staring at us with a menacing glare.

Nightfall came by and Filch escorted the five of us towards the Forbidden Forest. Detention would be held there.

"A pity they let the old punishments die." Filch complained. "There was a time detention would find you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons. God I miss the screaming." He said with an evil smile.

As he said this, Hermione brushed her fingers against my hand. To which I opened my hand and interlocked our fingers together.

"You are a real sadistic bastard aren't you Filchy?" I asked.

"What did you say boy?" He said with a look of anger.

"I called you a sadistic bastard, did you not hear me?" I retorted back as Hermione started holding my hand harder.

"W-why you l-little" Filch stuttered but then backed off. "You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight." "He's got a little job to do in the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid's in charge of our detention? Thank God. This may not be so bad after all.

As we got further into the forest, Hagrids came out of the forest sniffling.

"Oh good God, man, you're still not on about that bloody dragon, are you?" Filch asked.

"Norberts gone." Hagrid said continuing to sniffle "Dumbledore sent him off to Romania to live in a colony."

"Well that's good isn't it?" Hermione asked. "He'll be with his own kind."

"But what if he doesn't like Romania?" Hagrid continued while on the verge of crying. "What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby after all."

"Oh for Gods sake, pull yourself together man. You're going into the forest, after all. Got to have your wits about you."

"I wouldn't be too friendly with this sad bunch Hagrid." Filch said coldly. "Especially this one." He said pointing to me. "He's got a mouth on im."

"Y/N" Hagrid asked. "Er he's just his da's son." Shrugging it off.

"I'll be back at dawn", said Filch "for what's left of them." He said nastily as he turned and made his way towards the castle. Lantern bobbing in the distance.

Malfoy turned to Hagrid and said fearfully "I'm not going in that forest."

"Should have thought of that before getting us in this mess." Ron said angrily.

"But this is servant stuff, it's not for students." He continued. "I thought we'd be copying lines or something, if my father knew about this, he'd-"

"Can you shut the hell up??" I said with my words laced in venom. "Nobody gives two s*it's about your father. Now you put us in this situation so why don't you stop complaining and suck it up!"

Malfoy shut his mouth pretty quickly after that as Hagrid walked us into the forest. Until he suddenly stopped, bent down on his knees and dipped his fingers in a silver substance.

"Hagrid. What is that?" Harry asked.

"This is what we're here for." Hagrid announced to us. "See that? That's unicorn blood, that is. Found one dead a few weeks ago. Now this one's been injured by something." He turned around to face us. "It's our job to find the poor beast. So we'll need to split up." He said "Ron, Hermione you'll come with me." "Harry and Y/N, you'll go with Malfoy."

"Okay, but we get Fang!" Draco announced.

"Fine, but just so you know, he's a bloody coward." Hagrid said.

Hermione didn't look too happy we were going to be separated, so I pulled her close and whispered to her that I was going to be ok while squeezing her hand softly.

She smiled and blushed as we went our separate ways into the dark and eerie forest.

Harry's POV

I was going with Y/N and Malfoy through the forest with Fang leading our group. Malfoy held the lamp guiding us through to find the unicorn while complaining that we had to split up.

"Wait till my father hears about this." Malfoy said despite the fact that Y/N had yelled at him about bringing him up again. "You two wouldn't know anything about having a father wouldn't you. After what happened." He looked at us with a smirk.

"Is that really your go to for everything Malfoy?" Y/N asked. "Making fun of people because of their dead parents? Wow you really are pathetic."

"If I didn't know better, Draco. I'd say you are scared." I said.

"Scared, Potter?" Malfoy scoffed but quickly backed away as a loud howl was heard. "Come on, Fang. Scared."

As we continued to make our way through the forest, Fang suddenly stopped and then started to growl.

"What is it Fang?" I asked.

When we looked up ahead, we saw a cloaked figure leaning over something.

That something, was the unicorn that Hagrid was talking about.

The figure was drinking its blood undisturbed until they raised their head, with silver blood dripping from its mouth. As I stared at it, I felt a sharp pain coming from my scar. It felt like all of my insides were completely on fire. It was insufferable.

Y/Ns POV

Bleach boy screamed and ran off with pure terror with Fang chasing at his heels.

Heart of a freaking lion that one.

Harry dropped to his knees as the figure rose up and started sliding towards us.

As the figure came closer and closer. I started to feel a flashback. Like some sort of memory.

The nightmare I had on Christmas to be exact.

I remembered seeing a woman yelling at a cloaked figure in a dark alleyway.

Reference

"Leave us alone"

"Give me the boy and I will show you mercy"

"Never!!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

For some reason, that woman looked very familiar to me. Then I remembered what I saw in the mirror that same night. When I saw my parents.

My mum had the same hazel eyes and dark brown hair. The same features this woman in my nightmare had.

My eyes widened with revelation.

That woman was my mother.

I couldn't think about this right now as the cloaked figure was getting closer and closer. I stepped in front of Harry with my wand raised high.

If I'm gonna die today, might as well go out trying to be a hero.

I blasted spell after spell but nothing seemed to be working. Much like my Mother in my nightmare.

I stood there waiting for my impending death.

But that never came. Because at that moment, a creature with hoofs charged at the figure chasing it away.

This was a centaur.

"Are you all right?" He asked both of us as we nodded.

"You are the Potter boy." He stated to Harry and then turned to me. "And you are L/N" he said as I nodded.

"You must leave." The centaur continued. "You both are known to many creatures here. The forest is not safe at this time. Especially for you."

"What was that thing you saved us from?" I asked the centaur.

"A monstrous creature. It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn. Drinking the blood of a unicorn will keep you alive even if you are an inch away from death. But at a terrible price. You have slain something so pure that the moment the blood reaches your lips, you have a half life. A cursed life."

"But who would choose such a life?"

"Can you think of no one?" Asked the centaur.

"Do you mean to say...that the thing that killed the unicorn was....that was Voldemort?"

"Do you know what is hidden inside the school at this very moment?" The centaur asked us.

"The Philosophers Stone!" Me and Harry exclaimed.

But before we could continue the conversation any farther. We heard a bark and looked up to see Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, Draco , and Fang.

"Y/N!!!" Hermione cried as she made her way towards me. Lunging herself into my arms in a tight embrace.

"Are you alright Y/N? I was so worried when Malfoy came back without you- and Harry, oh did you get hurt?" She continued rambling so i pulled her in tighter.

"I'm ok Mione, honestly." I said while hugging her.

"Hello there, Firenze. I see you've met our young Mr. Potter and Mr. L/N, you all right there lads?" Hagrid asked as we gave him a subtitle nod.

Firenze turned back toward us and said, "Harry Potter, Y/N L/N, this is where I leave you. You're safe now. Good luck.....and don't forget young Y/N, your story is just beginning. You will know who you are." He said rather enigmatically.

What does he mean by that. My stories just beginning? And I will know who I am?

I have so many questions at the moment, but one thought lingered in my mind.

It all made sense, the nightmare I had couldn't have been a coincidence. This wasn't any normal nightmare.

But rather.

A memory.

My mother was killed by Voldemort. She didn't die because of an illness like my Uncle said. My father also must have been killed by Voldemort as well.

I'm beyond pissed. Why did he have to lie to me all these years. He has a lot of explaining to do when I get home.

Hermione's POV

We made our way back to the common room after our detention was over. Y/N had been very quiet walking back and none of us knew why.

Harry had told us about what had happened in the forest during he and Y/Ns encounter with the cloaked figure.

"You mean You-Know-Who's out there, right now, in the forest?" I asked them. Y/N just nodded silently.

"But he's weak. He's living off the unicorns." Harry said. "Don't you see? We had it all wrong? Snape doesn't want the stone for himself; he wants it for Voldemort!"

"Say you know who!" Ron corrected.

"With the elixir of life, Voldemort will become strong again." He completely ignored Ron's correction. "He'll...come back."

"But if he comes back." Ron said "you don't think he'll try to kill you, do you?"

"I think if he'd have had the chance, he'd probably try to kill me and Y/N tonight." Harry said as I grabbed Y/Ns hand. He was still being very quiet and I was going to ask him why later.

"Hang on a minute." I said as everyone turned to me. "We're forgetting one thing. Who's the one wizard Voldemort always feared?"

"Dumbledore" Y/N spoke up for the first time in a while.

"Exactly!" I said with a hopeful tone. "As long as Dumbledore is around, Harry, you're safe. As long as Dumbledore's around you can't be touched."

"You do have a point." Harry said as I smiled at him

"You all right Y/N, you've been very quiet." Ron asked changing the subject.

"No Ron, I'm not ok." Y/N responded. "Far from it."

"What do you mean." I asked while holding his hand.

"Everything I've ever been told my entire life has been a lie."

He began to tell us about his nightmare on Christmas. And then how the same memory came up as he saw Voldemort in the forest. How the woman in his memory was his mother and how she murdered in cold blood by Voldemort.

We all sat there in shock as I held his hand tighter.

"I don't believe this." Ron said.

"I wonder why Voldemort wanted you Y/N?" Asked Harry.

"You and me both mate." He responded. "Probably another story for another time." As we all nodded.

The boys started going up to bed until I pulled Y/N to the side.

"Are you sure you're ok Y/N?" I asked. "Maybe you should tell Dumbledore about your memory."

"I'm going to be ok Mione, I'm just confused is all." He said.

"Ok." I replied. "I just want you to be safe, I care about you so much."

"I care about you a lot to Hermione." He said with a smile. "It's late, we should probably get some sleep."

"You're right." I said. "Goodnight Y/N".

"Goodnight Mione, sweet dreams." He said while pulling me in for a hug and kissing my forehead as I blushed.

We then went to our seperate dorms as I drifted off to sleep.
