I'll Be Around Only If You Want Me To

Chapter 13

AN: I wanted to get this up on Friday The 13th…oh well, ENJOY! And thank you so much for all the reviews, I wasn't sure about this story because of how I left off the prequel, I'm not sure if people read this or didn't want to because of the depressing end. I didn't want to end it there, I just wanted to start over, I wanted Hermione and Oliver to have a new beginning.

Oliver was vaguely aware that he was being shaken awake, all he could think about was her. "Hermione." He murmured before standing up as fast as he could.

"Hermy-own? What about her?" The Bulgarian questioned.

Oliver looked over at him, and only one thing registered in his mind, "You."

"Me?" Viktor looked shocked but didn't get to question any longer because of the hand encircled around his neck.

"WHERE IS SHE!" Oliver boomed out while Viktor tried to catch a breath.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Like hell you don't!"

"I would never hurt Hermy-own! I love her!"

Oliver glared into his eyes and let go, "Love her?" He smirked grimly and sneered, "You know nothing of love. Would you do anything for her? Would you die for her?!"

"Yes."

Giving Viktor one last loathing look, Oliver turned away and called back, "You'd better hope it doesn't come to that." He muttered a spell and walked out of the dormitory fully clothed, but still missing something. He stormed into Dumbledore's office, the door hitting the wall with a loud CRACK.

"Mr. Wood, please sit down." Dumbledore remarked calmly.

"Hermione was just kidnapped." Oliver replied rudely.

"I know."

"Someone kno-," Oliver paused, "You what?"

Dumbledore gestured to the chair, "Please, sit down." Dumbstruck Oliver sat down, his jaw practically hitting the floor. "I was aware of Ms. Granger's kidnapping a few moments after you were stunned. I sent Mr. Krum to awaken you and sent word to the teachers to keep an eye out for them. What we can do now is just to sit tight, and wait."

Oliver was quiet for a moment then replied calmly, but with a jeering edge to it, "Wait…wait. We should just wait and hope that Hermione isn't unconscious or dead?"

"I highly doubt the kidnapper would go through the trouble of taking her, and knocking you out only to kill her. If he or she wanted you dead, you would be."

"As you are aware, Hermione and I have gone through a lot to get to where we are. Most of, if not all of, the problems were my fault. I refuse to be the reason that she is tortured."

Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, "Ms. Granger will be alright."

Oliver jumped up from his seat, overturning his chair in the process, "How do you know! She could be tied to a dungeon wall and in the middle of being beaten right now and you expect me to wait and do nothing?!"

Dumbledore also stood up, albeit more gracefully and with less commotion, "As you well know, Hermione Granger is the smartest witch to come to Hogwarts since it's beginning, she is capable of handing herself."

"She doesn't have her wand."

Dumbledore shook his head, "Don't forget that she can perform wandless magic. She is not a damsel in distress. Now, return to your room and get a good night's sleep. You'll be needing it."

Oliver was going to argue but, sensing that he would lose, he turned and walked to the door then replied to Dumbledore, "If she dies…I hold you responsible." With that he walked out of the headmaster's office. Dumbledore sighed and walked over to his pensive, putting his wand to his head and pulling a silvery strip out and placing it into the mystical pool.

"Shut up!"

"OLIVER! SOMEONE!"

"You know as well as I that I would not be stupid enough as to not place a silencing charm around us."

"Why are you doing this!"

"You're getting too close, I cannot have that."

"It's not your decision to make!"

"It is now."

"You're pathetic."

"You think that bother's me? I've heard it many times before, many times from you."

"I hate you."

"Stupefy."

AN: And that's the end of this chapter. So, here's a hint :: while I love to write (when I have a chance) reviews make me update faster and make them longer. Thank you to all who review and enjoy this story, your reviews enspire me. And I kind of got the idea of Hermione being kidnapped from BandCrayz, so thanks for the idea!
