"Harry?" Asked Hermionie tentivly. Harry had his back to both Ron and Hermionie and was staring at two marble headstones.

James Potter. Beloved Husband, Fantastic son, Devoted Father. Corugoes, True, Honest, Fierce, Loving, Caring. Always in our hearst shall you be.
Lily Potter. Beloved wife, Devoted mother. Brave, True, Just, Rightoues, Loving, Caring, Kind. Always in our hearts shall you be.

"Harry?" Harry ignored Hermionie and bent down as he spotted the two boquets of lilies that were lying in front of the two headstones, one for each headstone. One for each grave. Harry pciked one of them up and read the card that was nestled in between the lilies.

They needn't have died Harry. I only wanted you. Still, it was enjoyable.

"Mate. Are you all right?" Asked Ron nervosuly. Harry was shaking and the lilies had dropped to the ground. Stifly, and with great effort, he handed the small white card with the message on it to Hermionie. How dare he? How dare he?

"My parents. Sirius. Dumbeldore. Because of you." Harry's voice shook as he spoek quietly and then the anger tore from him as Hermionie layed her hand on his shoulder.

"GET OFF ME HERMIONIE!" He roared. Harry spun round and Hermionie seeked refuge in Ron's arms from the look on Harry's face. Ron genty patted Hermionie's sobbing frame, all the while gazing at Harry with a mixture of ashtonishment, horror and fear. Harry's eyes were slitted and scarlet and his face had transformed and looked snakelike. His lips curled into an evil smile and he spun on the spot and with a swish of his cloack dissapeared. Ron still stared at the spot where Harry had been only moments before. He stroked Hermionie's hair and lay his cheek against her head. Ron looked at all of the headstones and graves surrounding them. His eyes darted back to one headstone which no one was looking at. Now, there was a hooded figure staring across at Ron and Hermionie. Hermionie lifted her head slightly, her eyes shining with tears and looked over at the hooded figure who was approaching them. The figure was 3 steps away from them.

"Weasely. Granger." It said. The figure lowered it's hood and a smile curled across it's lips as it raised it's wand.

"S...."

Harry sat down on the park bench, staring at the graffitied wall. Why was he back in Little Whinging? Why was he in the vicinity of Privit Drive, Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley? Harry didn't know why and he didn't want to know why. He just sat there. Staring at the wall. Thinking. How many had died? His parents, Sirius and Dumbledore. All of the people close to him that had died had one thing in commen other htan Harry. They were either killed by Lord Voldemort or by Lord Voldemorts Death Eaters. Snape! Harry thought furiously. Bellatrix! Bellatrix had killed Sirius but she had done worse than that, far worse than that in Harrys opinion. She had tortured Frank and Alice Longbottem, Nevilles parents, into madness by using the Crucious curse. Neville's parents were in St Mungos. They were alive but they might as well have been dead. There existence was the cruelest Harry had ever seen. Harry's mind slid to Neville himself and then to the Prophecy. Last year Harry had continuesly wondered if he really was meant to defeat Voldemort after finding out it could very easily have been Neville with the lightening bolt scar on his head but Harry knew that it WAS meant to be him who fought Voldemort. And that it WAS going to be him who fought Voldemort. Harry stood up from the park bench and apperated to the Leaky Cauldren. There were fewer people in the pub than Harry had seen last year and he walked straight past Tom the Barman and the very few customers until he reached the wall that led to Diagon Alley. Harry took out his wand and tapped the bricks. He walked through into Diagon Alley. Harry didn't stop to look at the lost majesty that place held,he walked past all the boarded up shops with his destination firm in his mind. Fred and George's joke shop. Harry could do with cherring up and he thought that Fred and George were the best people to go too for it. When he reached Fred and George's joke shop the place was empty of customers and so he strolled through the doors with ease.

"Fred! George!" Harry called out. Fred and George's products were covering every wall of the shop and Harry smiled at a few items he knew very well. The love potions,(Romilda Vane had tried to use one on him last year which resulted in Ron falling in love with her temperarely)the Extendable Ears (they were used to eavesdrop in St Mungo's and at Grimmauld Place when Harry was in fifth year at Hogwarts)and Canery Creams. Harry smiled slightly but it was a sad smile. Fred stuck his head round the door that led into the back of the shop.

"We're closed! Can't you.... Harry!" Said Fred in surprise. He walked out into the main area of the shop and shook hands with Harry.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Just passing by." Harry said. George called Fred and when Fred didn't answer he came out of the back of the shop and rushed over to shake hands with Harry when he spotted him.

"I thought you were going to Godrics Hollow. To see your parents graves." George said. Harry averted the twins eyes and looked around he joke shop and immediatly chnaged the subject.

"Buisness a bit slow then?" He asked in a cheerful voice that failed to hide the sadness in his heart and the anger boiling in his veins.

" Yes. A bit." Said Fred in a low voice.

" Harry. Is there something wrong?" Asked George. Harry turned away from the twins and tried to stop the prickling in his eyes.

" I came here wondering if you could maybe cheer me up a bit." Harry said slowely and quietly.

Very interesting beginning of a FF here.

Although, I think you need to run it through spellcheck because there are a lot of spelling mistakes in it.
"S...." Shouted Ron.

To shout the beginning of a word doesn't really make sense, maybe another verb might be more appropriate.

It moves at quite a fast pace which seems fitting to it somehow, although, maybe slowing it down a bit would make it a little less confusing because there were some parts where you changed direction and I had to read over it again to see what had happened previously.

Like I said before, though, its an interesting beginning and makes me want to know whats happened to make Harry and Ginny act differently to how we know them from canon.

" Ron. Where are we?" Came Hermionie's scared voice. She was cluthching tightly onto Ron and he was gripping her as close to him as he could.

" I don't know." He answered. " But if Snape's involved, it's somewhere bad."

" You don't think Voldemort will kill us to get to Harry?" Both Ron and Hermionie shuddered at the thought of it.

" Wait a second. Ginny!Oh god no. Not Ginny!" Babbled Ron.

" What about.. Oh. No. How could he know? How could he, Snape." Hermionie said in horror.

" Snape knows Legelimens and Harry isn't very good at Occlumency and me and you haven't even be trained."

" Well done Weasley but you would not have came up with such a good theory without Grangers help." Snape appeared out of the darkness and his lip curled as he looked at Ron and Hermionie holding onto each oher as if there lives depended on it.

" In this instance however Mrs Granger wasn't compleaetely right. When I was still at the school I heard of Potters supposed relationship with Weasleys sister. I used Legilemens to confirm that what I heard was true. Draco was also a great help and I hastend to tell the Dark Lord. This would come to be an advantage. Potter is protecting her for now but when he finds out that his two best friends are here he will come. Leaving the young Weasley girl unprotected and thus vulnerable. She will be captured and so Potter shall look for her and be killed by the Dark Lord. As will the young Weasley girl and you two."

" Harry isn't stupid!" Hermionie's voice trembled as she spoke. Ron looked at Hermionie lovingly. Hermionie's watery eyes were focused on Snape and so she did not notice the way Ron gazed at her. Ron held onto Hermionie just a bit tighter. She took his hand and squeezed it gently. Snape stood where he was. Smiling.

" Oh. But you are wrong there Granger. Potter is stupid enough to let his anger and rage control him. The Dark Lord knows this and with my assistence is relying and playing upon this weakness of Potters. After all. Potters rage at his parents graves caused him to leave both you and Weasley alone. He shall be filled with so much anger and hatred that he shall leave his little girlfriend to try to rescue both you and Weasley. By the time he realizes that you and Weasley cannot be saved in the instant he will go back to his precious girlfriend. Who, by that time will be joining you." Ron's ear went red and he let go of her Hermionie and moved her away from her. He stood up and lunged at Snape. Snape lazily flicked his wand and Ron flew backwards and smashed into a stone wall. He fell to the ground and Hermionie squeled. She ran over to him and knelt on the floor beside him. She gently lifted his head into her lap and felt his pulse. It was still there meaning he was still alive. Hermionie began to sob and then wail loudly. Snape had an annoyed look on his face and swished his wand in the air. Hermionie's wailing ceased instanly and she fell to the ground next to Ron. His head gently landed on the floor next to her legs and Snape slinked back into the shadows.
