Patronus Lesson...

Harry knew that Hermione had meant well, but that didn't stop him from being angry with her. He had been the owner of the best broom in the world for a few short hours, and now, because of her interference, he didn't know whether he would ever see it again. He was positive that there was nothing wrong with the Firebolt now, but what sort of state would it be in once it had been subjected to all sorts of anti-jinx tests? Ron was furious with Hermione too. As far as he was concerned, the stripping-down of a brand-new Firebolt was nothing less than criminal damage.

Hermione, who remained convinced that she had acted for the best, started avoiding the common room. Harry and Ron supposed she had taken refuge in the library and didn't try to persuade her to come back. They had also seen very little of Y/N, Harry suspected that Y/N was with Hermione.

He was in fact, right.

Y/N was in the library with Hermione and Ginny, the three of them were all studying, with Y/N and Hermione studying for their extra subjects, Y/N couldn't help but look across the table at Ginny and then he looked at Hermione, seeing her big brown eyes looking right at him.

"You okay?" Y/N asked as he looked her in the eyes.

"Yes. At least I have you with me Y/N." Hermione said as Y/N smiled.

"You always have me, you've had me since day one." Y/N said calmly. "For as long as I have left."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say we all have to pay the devil our dues some time, and me,well, I've got a lot to pay, and the list just keeps growing for me." Y/N said as he looked at her. He could see her eyes looking at him with kindness, he thought about Spain, the things he did in order to keep her and the rest of his friends. "Harry's going to hate me by the end of this year."

"He'll get over the broom." Hermione said as Y/N shook his head.

"I'm not talking about the broom. I... I have to kill Sirius and Bellatrix, or at the very least hand them over to the ministry. Sirius is the only real family Harry has left, he's Harry's last chance to get away from the Dursley's for good... and I've got to kill that chance. I get the feeling, you'll be reading about that day in one of your books, the day Y/N L/N stopped duelling." Y/N said as he looked at Hermione. "When the time comes, it'll be just you, and Harry, I want you both to not look back."

"The ministry is sending you after Sirius and Bellatrix..." Hermione stated as Y/N nodded.

"No, I'm sending myself after them... some things... some things you have to do for you and you alone." Y/N said coldly as he thought about how Sirius and Bellatrix had betrayed him, left him for dead in that cold, dark cell in Azkaban.

All in all, they were glad when the rest of the school returned shortly after New Year, and Gryffindor Tower became crowded and noisy again. Wood sought Harry out on the night before term started.

"Had a good Christmas?" he said, and then, without waiting for an answer, he sat down, lowered his voice, and said, "I've been doing some thinking over Christmas, Harry. After the last match, you know. If the dementors come to the next one... I mean... we can't afford you to—well—" Wood broke off, looking awkward.

"I'm working on it," said Harry quickly. "Professor Lupin said he'd train me to ward off the dementors. We should be starting this week. He said he'd have time after Christmas."

"Ah," said Wood, his expression clearing. "Well, in that case—I really didn't want to lose you as Seeker, Harry. And have you ordered a new broom yet?"
