Chapter one Where's Harry?  

Hermione sat in the most comfortable armchair in the common room reading one of her favorite books. She was now 23 years old and shared a place with Ron and Harry. Hermione read as the fire crackled and her mind wondered. After every couple of sentences she stopped to worry. 'What if something happened to him?' she thought. She checked her watch and saw that it was 2:35 am. There was a knock on the door. 'Is that him?' Hermione hoped.

     "Come in," she said.      The door opened and Ron walked over to where Hermione was and sat in an armchair next to hers. Hermione, a little disappointed , asked, "Couldn't sleep?"

    "Yeah," Ron said sleepily, "What are you reading?"  Before Hermione could answer, Ron snatched the book out of her hands. He smiled with an expression that seemed to say 'Typical Hermione'.

    "Gosh, Hermione . Don't you get tired of reading the same book over and over again?"    Hermione couldn't help it. Whenever she read a book, she felt...safe.

     "Well seeing as you never read a book it would kind of be hard to explain," Hermione snapped.

 "You're worried about Harry, aren't you?" Ron asked as if he had not heard what she had just said. Hermione looked into his eyes. He looked like he would understand if she did.

      "A little," she lied.

"He's going to be okay. Harry can take care of himself," Ron said reassuringly.

      "I guess so," Hermione said not entirely convinced.

"I know so. Now let's try to get some sleep," he said as he got up to put the book away.

       "Hey! I was reading that"

"Not anymore you're not," Ron said stubbournly.

      "Ron!" Hermione cried as she got up to snatch the book away. He moved the book away before her hand got to the book. He held the book up air as high as he could. Ron was much taller than she was. Hermione jumped up in hopes of reaching the book but it was no use. Hermione grabbed her wand from a small, round table near by.

   "Accio book!" The book slipped from Ron's grip and flew into Hermione's hand.

"No fair! I didn't get to use MY wand!"

     "Fine, no wands," Hermione said as she ran for the door . But Ron was too fast.  He grabbed Hermione by the waist with one hand and tried to snatch the book with the other.

     "Nooo!!"  Hermione could hear Ron laugh slightly in her ear. She couldn't help but giggle.

 "Stop! Let me go!" Hermione said as she tried to keep the book out of Ron's reach....
