Hermione heard what they said about taking over the ministry and even though she was tired, she quickly got on her feet to say something.

“Miss Granger?” Asked Dumbledore with a confused expression.

Hermione would’ve felt happy in different circumstances, it’s been so long since the last time she saw her former headmaster and the fact that he recognized her was amazing, however, there were some important matters they needed to discuss first.

“Uh…I know I’m not a member of your organization but I’d like to suggest something…I’d like to suggest you guys free the muggle-borns first…After all, you’re all going to need an army and all of them hate the death eaters, I’m sure they will gladly join you!” Hermione said with a weak smile on her face.

“We’d love to do that Hermione but…We don’t know where they have them,” Henry was scratching his head as he tried to think about where the death eaters might’ve been hiding the detained muggle-borns.

“Well, I guess we’re in luck then…I know where they are, I was taken to the camps once by Snape, he threatened to leave me there if I didn’t improve my Lily Potter impression,” Hermione looked sadly at the red-haired woman who was ashamed of hearing those words.

If only she hadn’t stopped her husband the first time he fought against the greasy git after leaving Hogwarts then Hermione wouldn’t have gone through such a horrible experience.

“The information I'll give you is proof of my loyalty to your family and especially to Henry and Rose,” Hermione added with a soft smile.

She knew they were judging her and they were fearing that she would ask for money or something in exchange for that information but she was giving it all for free.

“Well, I guess it’s time for us to plan, right?” Asked Dumbledore with a slight smirk and everyone agreed.

They didn’t have too much time to plan, they had to start as fast as they could because as soon as Voldemort realizes what happened in the muggle world, there’s going to be chaos, so, they planned as fast as they could until they concluded.

“Are you sure about this?” Asked Lily to Harry with a concerned expression.

Harry couldn’t help but weakly smile at this universe’s version of his mother.

“Yes, I need to be the one to do it, after all, the death eaters don't know about me or what to expect of me, also…” Harry suddenly took a vial and shook it a little.

“Polyjuice potion!” Hermione said before she ran as fast as she could from the couch where she was supposed to rest.

She suddenly grabbed Harry’s hand so she could appreciate the potion so much better but then she realized what she was doing, and yet, she didn’t want to let go of Harry’s hand, soon they were lost staring into each other’s eyes.

She was lost in his green eyes and she could feel the pain, she knew that look very well because it was the same look she’d been wearing since the day the death eaters took over the country, she knew he was hiding his pain and it seems like he knew she was doing the same thing.

Meanwhile, the rest of the occupants in the room were staring at the scene with interest, in different circumstances, Henry who happens to be Hermione's best male friend would have been teased a lot, it happened when they were in their first year but even if Hermione was single, Henry was dating Ginny.

However, that was okay, Hermione could only see Henry as a friend but on the other hand, she felt an interesting connection with his counterpart from another universe, there was something that was making her feel attached to him and their staring contest lasted for a while until they heard someone coughing.

“Uh…Yes, Polyjuice,” Harry said awkwardly.

He knew he shouldn’t act like this, after all, this is his brilliant friend, she’s from another universe of course but she’s still Hermione, his bushy-haired, cute, annoying friend.

“So…That’s how you’re planning to infiltrate?” Asked the bushy-haired witch and Harry nodded. “And you’re planning on doing this ALONE?” She remarked having a hard time believing what she was hearing.

Harry just shrugged his shoulders and nodded but everyone knew this was a mistake, there was a strange resemblance between Lily and Hermione's personalities, and if she was just like Lily then they knew what was coming for Harry.

“I can’t believe this…Just give me a second and I’ll accompany you!” Harry thought that Hermione was overreacting but for his best interests, he decided to remain silent.

“No, you’re not coming!” Henry stopped her.

“Henry James Potter…You’re not my master, I have no masters, so, I can do as I please!” The brown-haired witch said before she felt some pain in her body.

Still, she tried to pretend she was right and ignore the pain but she knew everyone was aware of her being in pain even if she pretended she was not.

“Look, I know how strong you are, that’s how you managed to survive all these years, but right now you’re not in the best physical state to go with Harry on such an important mission Hermione,” Rose was the one who spoke this time.

“Miss Granger…It’s alright, I can take care of them, don’t worry about it,” Harry tried to assure the bookworm but she still didn’t accept that.

“You clearly don’t know what you’re getting into, he has a werewolf guarding that area, and not only that, some of his vilest followers are there too!” Hermione said scandalized.

Harry was getting a bit impatient, he wanted to get this done already, so, he just took his wand and got ready to leave but then Hermione jumped at him and grabbed him by his shoulders.

“You need to bring more people with you, I need to come too so I can show you the way, there’s around a hundred death eaters there and—” Hermione was suddenly stopped by Harry who raised his index finger.

“One hundred? That’s not a lot,” Harry said relieved.

Hermione couldn’t believe it, he was going on a self-destructive mission and no one seemed to want to stop him.

“Aren’t you guys going to tell him something?” Hermione questioned the group a bit disappointed.

“We could try but…To be honest, we’ve seen what he’s capable of doing, so, we don’t have the strength to stop him, in fact, we’re surprised he has managed to stay this long without causing chaos,” Lily couldn’t help but sigh.

Harry only giggled, they were right, even though they did a lot of incredible stuff during the day, even after the chaos he caused in the muggle world, and what he did at the ICW, he still wanted more.

The brown-haired witch felt defeated and tired, she didn’t want this version of Henry to die so easily, and she didn’t know why she felt like that, in the end, no matter how difficult her life had been until today, she still cared about other people, she hadn’t lost her empathy which clearly was something she was grateful for.

“Hermione…If you’re anything like the Hermione of my universe then I guess you have a plan, right?” Asked the emerald-eyed wizard.

Hermione nodded slowly, she didn’t know why he was asking her that if he wasn’t going to take her with him.

“What if I told you that there’s a way for you to follow my movements in real-time and also, there was a way for us to communicate in real-time too?” Asked Harry with a slight smirk.

Hermione was surprised by his words, she was deep in thought when she suddenly saw Harry take out some napkins and turn them into some kind of small spheres.

There was also one that looked like a small microphone. Hermione’s eyes widened the moment she saw one of the spheres float while the other was placed on Harry’s ear, soon, she saw her own image in one of the screens in the living room.
