Lost & Found
By: Autumn and Lucky*Star
Over the past four and a half years that Hermione and Ginny have attended Hogwarts,
they have become the best of friends. They started a journal together in Hermione's
forth year, that they are still writing in when this story begins.
************************************************************************
It was 8:30 in the morning at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the
Gryffindor fifth year girls dormitiry it looked like a pack of Cornish Pixies had just been
through. Sheets were flying, robes were being tossed, trunks being turned inside out
(literally), and matresses were floating to the ceiling, and only one person was the cause
of all this, not a pack of Cornish Pixies, but Hermione Granger. "Where is it!?" she
kept shouting to the air. She was lucky that the other girls weren't in there. "OH MY
GOD!!!!!!" She got up off her knees and ran out the door toward the fourth year girls
domitory. "Ginny!" she shreaked. But as she looked around she realized Ginny wasn't in
her room. In a rush she ran to the Gryffindor common room to see if she could find her
there. "Hermione are you alright?" Ron asked as she came running in. She ignored his
question and asked one of her own "Have you seen Ginny?" "Yeah she's outside with
Lavender." He answered more then a little baffled. At hearing these words she ran out
of the common room and headed straight for the courtyard.
************************************************************************
Ginny had gotten up early with Lavender, a fellow Gryffindor, to take pictures of the
sunrise and had fallen asleep under a Willow tree after she had finished. Lavender had
gone back inside to the Great Hall for breakfast. "Ginny, Ginny wake up!" she heard
Hermione shreak interrupting a wonderful dream where she and Harry were floating on
cloud nine together. "What is it?," She asked a little irritated,"I was in the middle of a
wonderful dream, Harry was just about to kiss me on cloud nine." "This is important,"
Hermione snapped,"The journal is missing!" Ginny jumped to her feet in a panic. "Are
you sure?" "Yes, I have looked everywhere, I even used a summining charm to try and
find it but it's gone."
************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the common room, Harry climbed down the sprial staircase and he
and Ron went to sit down in front of the fire. "What a night," Ron said, "No sleep whatsoever
because of Neville and his stupid toad-OW!!!!" "What's wrong?" Harry asked. "I sat on
something" said Ron, as he pulled a purple velvet book out from under him. "What's that?" asked
Harry, afraid that it would turn out to be some sort of Dark Arts book. "I dunno," said Ron
with a mischivious smile, "Let's find out"
************************************************************************
Later on that day in the Great Hall, Hermione, Ginny, Ron, and Harry were sitting down
for dinner. While Harry and Ron had their I-Have-A-Secret-But-I'm-Not-Gonna-Tell-You
faces on, Hermione and Ginny had gloomy ones. "What's wrong with you two?" Harry
asked Ginny and Hermione. "Nothing" they replied at the same time. At that
moment, Neville came in and sat down beside them. "Have any of you seen my
Rememball?," Neville wimpered, "I don't remember where I put it." "Don't worry Neville
you're not the only one losing things today" Ginny muttered under her breath. At that
moment Hermione had an idea {If we find the Rememball then maybe Neville will let me
use it to find the journal} "We'll help you find it, won't we Ginny?" Hermione said with a
smile. "We will?" Ginny asked, surprised. "Of course we will." Hermione said nuging
Ginny in the ribs. Ginny gave Hermione a This-Better-Be-Worth-It look. "Um, excuse us for
a minute please?" Hermione asked, grabing Ginny by the arm and pulling her aside.
"What?" Ginny asked rubbing her slightly sore arm. "If we can find the Rememball it can
help me remember where I put the journal." "So, Neville ready to look for that ball?"
Ginny said, with a huge fake smile.
************************************************************************
Later that night Ron and Harry were the only ones left in the common room.
Hermione, Ginny, and Neville had gone to sleep early so they could get a early start on
looking for the Rememball in the morning. "Now it's time to find out what's in this book"
said Ron, smiling mischiviously as he opened the book, and he and Harry started reading
silently from the first enrty:
Wednesday 10:00 pm
I wasn't always Miss Prim and Proper, Back in the ''Muggle World'' I used to
go sky-diving every weekend (yes, I know who'd have guessed?) but now I don't have
time for that anymore. My parents are so proud that I'm a witch, they just want me to
live up to my potentail, which means I have to study all the time and at times it get's
really lonely.
10:30pm
I too have gotten roped into a personality that isn't me. When my family
looks at me all they see is a young girl who's is in a boy crazy, can't stop giggling stage but
the truth is the only boy I have ever been crazy about is Harry Potter. I just can't escape the
whole boy crazy giggling teenage girl vasade long enough to show them who I really am.
"Harry, looks like someones really got it bad for you." Ron said as he fell to the floor laughing
while still clutching the book. "Well in all honesty I kinda feel for the girl. I
mean I know what its like to have people just assume things about you because of your
name or in her case your age." Ron got up off the floor, the laughter had dissolved.
"yeah I know how it feels to have people put these huge expectations on you without
ever bothering to consult you." They both stayed silent for a long time after that, both
thinking about the two writers of this journal. "So....I guess we should think of a safe place to
store this," said Harry motioning to the book,"I mean we can't keep it in our room
Neville, Seamus, or Dean might find it." "Well I guess we could use my secret hiding
place, not even Fred and George know about it." He showed Harry a loose brick in the
fireplace and they stored the book there.
************************************************************************
The next morning Hermione, Ginny, and Neville got up early to start looking for the
Rememball. The first place they looked was in Neville's room (Gryffindor fifth year boy's
dormitory). "Wait! We can't give up looking here yet, first we need to use the summoning
charm in this room" Ginny stated. Hermione slapped her hand to her forehead and said,
"We should have just done that in the first place, it would have saved us alot of time."
"Now where do we look?" asked Neville. "Um, where were you when you first realized
it was missing?" Hermione asked after the summining charm failed in that room. "Well,
I think I was lost on the third floor, yes that was it because I was going to use it to remember
where I was supposed to be but I couldn't find it." "Then lets go to the third floor." said Ginny.
************************************************************************
That night Harry and Ron were once again alone in the common room reading another
passage from the journal:
Friday 10:00pm
It's ok, I know how you feel about people not understanding when a girl
has an innocent crush. I also have a crush, but not on Harry Potter, on Ron
Weasley. I know I haven't always been nice to him, but there's just something about him
that I just can't resist.
"Soooo now who's laughing? Mr. Has-Something-She-Just-Can't-Resist" Harry said, laughing.
At this comment Ron would normally have considered hitting Harry (but only considered it)
but he was in his own little world thinking of the girl that seemed to think so much of him. Harry
snapped his fingers in front of Rons face to get him out of his trance. "Do you want to read another
passage?" Harry asked Ron. "Sure."
Monday 10:00pm
I never would have guessed you liked him. I guess we all have poeple that can stir up feelings
inside us that we never knew we had. I only wish I had the courage to tell Harry about mine, but I know
I can never tell him not after whats been said.
************************************************************************
The next week in Transfiguration Hermione and Neville were unusually quiet. They had
stayed up almost half the night looking for the Rememball, with no luck. Harry and Ron
on the other hand were in great moods, they were not only each in love with two
amazing mystery girls but they were looking forward to tomorrow's Quidditch match.
*****************************************************************
At lunch Harry and Ron bolted their food and then went to the Willow tree by the lake to
read the journal. They didn't know Malfoy had followed them and was looking over their
shoulders at the book. {I wonder what Potter and the Weasel are up to} Malfoy leaned a little
closer to get a better look.{Oooh their in love. I bet I could fool them into thinking their precious
Cho and Fleur are thier mystery girls} "What are you doing with that?!" Malfoy demanded.
"Its none of your busness Malfoy, so scram." Ron snapped. "I'm gonna tell Cho you have her and
Fleur's journal." Malfoy threatened. Harry looked at Ron both of them had huge grins on their faces.
Malfoy opened his mouth to say something but never got the chance, Harry and Ron had already
gotten up and were running toward the school intrance.
*****************************************************************
The next day Hermione, Ginny, Ron, and Neville were all sitting in the stands watching
Harry fly around the Quidditch field, when Neville fell over into the seat in front of him.
"I found it! I found it!" Neville screamed. Hermione grabbed the Rememball then in a flash
she remembered where she left the journal. Tossing the Rememball back to Neville she
called to Ginny,"I remember, come on!" "Where are you going ?" Ron asked. But
Hermione and Ginny were already out of ear shot.
*****************************************************************
They ran as fast as they could knowing they would be the only ones in the common room,
Hermione ran toward the fireplace and reached under the chair but the book was gone.
Their was only one hope left the summining charm, Hermione preformed the charm and a
brick came flying out of the fireplace followed by their journal. Ginny caught the book in
her hands and she and Hermione went to the far corner of the common room to inspect it.
*****************************************************************
The Quidditch match ended and everyone cheered for Gryffindor. Harry and Ron were
the only ones going back to the castle, everyone else stayed outside to enjoy the fresh air
and celebrate the victory. When they got to the Gryffindor common room they found
Hermione and Ginny sitting in the far corner reading the journal. "What are you doing with
that?!" shouted Ron. "Thats none of your business!" Ginny shot back. "Well I just don't think
you should be reading other peoples journals." Harry stated. "Two things, first how did you know
this was a journal? Second its our journal." Hermione said. "No its not its Fleur and Cho's
journal." Ron said. "Who told you that lie?" Ginny asked. Harry answerd, "Malfoy told us it
was..." Ron hit Harry in the arm to stop him from talking,"Malfoy." Ron stated. Then Harry
got it, Malfoy had lied to trick them into thinking it was Cho and Fleur's journal.{Wait if Malfoy
lied then that means the journal really is Hermione and Ginny's which means I fell for Ginny.}
*****************************************************************
One month later Harry and Ginny along with Ron and Hermione were celebrating thier one
month anniversery. The boys had decided to take thier girlfriends to a fancy resturant
called 'Fire Light' to celebrate.
THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER, : )
