There is something in the woods.
Hermione was look out the window watching the Gryffindor-team's q
Quidditch practise. She had just finished a long essay about the law and government in the muggle world. Her teachers in muggle studies always liked her stories, and if it was something Hermione really appreciated it was being liked. She new that she was not the most popular girl. She had never been popular at the her muggle school, and she was not popular at Hogwarts. I did not bother her that much because she had her best friends supporting her. Ron and Harry
Ron and Harry she sad to her self, I haven't seen them all day; in fact I haven't seen them all week.
Maybe they are on a mission for the order again, but then they would have told me. Hermione suddenly felt worried and rushed down to the Gryffindor common room to look for them. The common room was quiet, the only sound came from the fireplace a student turning pages in his book. Sometimes I wish that the wizard world just could have phones, its so much easier to call the once you are looking for. She laughed a bit bye the thought of the Wesley family trying to call each other. Then she ran of to look for Dumbledore, he always new what to do and where to look for everything.
Dumbledore's office was always an interesting place to be, and Hermione was sure that she saw the floor vanish for a second. The headmaster appeared in his shiny robe and silver hair. He smiled friendly and looked at her over his glasses. « Well hello miss Granger, what brings you to my office, is anything troubling you? « Hermione looked at the older man and love how Dumbledore always new what to say. « It's just that I can't find Ron and Harry and was wondering if you maybe new where they are?» The old man was quiet for a moment « so your friends are missing ?»
Hermione felt a giant storm of panic rising. Could they really be missing, for real? The finale exam was next week, what if they missed it or maybe they where kidnapped or dead!
"What are we going to do?" she sad in desperation. The old headmaster looked away and his eyes became cold and worried. «This is not good» he sad, « I underestimated the power of old dark magic» Hermione was shocked and angry. "You did what, with what? "
"A year a go we found a bunch of students wondering in the dark forest clearly disturbed by a mysterious force. Not one of them could remember how the got there. Since we couldn't find an answer the school board decided to never speak of it again. I went out in the forest to look for clues and swear that I felt traces of strange and old magic.
Dumbledore walked over to one of the paintings and gave him a message. The bald monk disappeared quickly from the frame.
« Ron and Harry are abducted bye this dark evil magic, and all you do is chitchatting with this drunken monk» Hermione new that she had stepped out of line, but she was so angry that everything went black.
"The drunken monk is one of my closest friends and he is on his way to inform the entire ministry about your missing friends." Dumbledore smiled and sat down.
"You want a cup of tea miss Granger?"
Hermione politely turned down the offer and walk out of the old mans office. Her two best friends where missing, this was not the time for a cup of tea.
