He ran through the forest his legs as heavy as lead he didn't know what he
was running from but he was terrified, the adrenaline surging through his veins was the only thing keeping him upright
his breath was coming out in laboured pants misty in the frigid night air he couldn't see anything ahead of him, only darkness, slowing he came to a stop listening for the any sound of pursuit, lunging from the darkness the pale faced man screeched his name in agony.
Shooting straight up in his bed coated in a sheen of sweat Harry Potter screamed.
Hermione was in the library searching for any way to help Harry through the Triwizard tasks
when she spotted Neville staring at her from across the room, the moment he saw she was looking in his direction
he hastily averted his eyes, sighing Hermione continued to read her book, after some time she finally found the solution
she had spent countless hours searching for, it was a simple potion but the ingredients were difficult to come by this meant another late night excursion.
Five minutes later Harry and Ron walked in through the large library doors in search of Hermione, soon spotting her near the potions section by the window they made a beeline towards her, she looked up, smiling as they reached her she couldn't wait to tell them what she had found.
'Harry, Ron , I found it it's really simple to make, but there is the issue of the ingredients' she grimaced ,
'Why, what about them?' Ron questioned,
'The only place we could get them would be Snape's private stores...'said Hermione as Harry and Ron blanched
'Well we can use the cloak tonight after curfew.' Harry stated distractedly.
Silently they cleared away the books Hermione had used and headed to the great hall for dinner.
Later that night when the common room had emptied of stragglers,the small group began to head for the portrait hole,
sneaking through the common room, invisibility cloak in hand, they were nearing the exit when they were accosted by Neville who looked
like he had been waiting for them.
'Can I come?' he said nervously looking down at the floor 'I..I overheard you in the library and I..I wanted to come with you' He glanced at Hermione then quickly looked down and Ron looked surprised that Neville would want to do something that could get them expelled if they were caught.
'Um..yeah Neville you can come just make sure you stay quiet.' said Hermione smiling slightly as she walked past him opening the portrait hole,'Well come on then.' she whispered .
Hurrying down to the darkened dungeons shrouded in Harry's invisibility cloak that barely covered their feet, the group of rule breakers reached the potions classroom where they spotted a small girl with long blonde hair that reached her lower back shuffling into the empty potions classroom
'Who was that?' Ron whispered loudly earning a sore foot courtesy of Hermione.
'That's Luna Lovegood' whispered Neville,'she sleepwalks all the time.'
Harry gave him a quizzical look 'How would you know that?'
'Oh...she helped me find Trevor once and we talked about it.'replied Neville
'Shhhhh!'
'Sorry 'Mione'
They got to the door and slipped in silently,spotting Luna lying on one of the desks snoring softly, removing the cloak from everyone's heads
Hermione stowed it away in the bag that was hanging from her shoulder, not once did they notice the figure slumped in the shadows.
Heading to the ingredient store they started to search for the ingredients to make the ''Vis Vires'' potion
'Ok first we need Mirinda Root.' stated Hermione.
Everyone was in the large store cupboard scanning the shelves completely engrossed in their task hoping to leave quickly.
'What are you doing?'came a dreamy voice from the doorway.
It was so sudden that everyone in the cupboard jumped spinning around and knocking ingredients flying from the shelves, a massive crash was heard through out the class room. Luna jumped startled at the response to her quiet question.
'I'm sorry! I thought you knew I was here.'She said in a hurried whisper, her already wide blue eyes growing wider as the spilled herbs and potions on the floor started to bubble and a mist began to rise into the air.
'POTTER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW!' roared Draco emerging from shadows.
Everyone is shocked at his sudden appearance forgetting about the mist slowly rising from the pool on the ground they all stared at Draco.
'Why are you here?' cried Harry
'Yeah ferret where did you come from?'spat Ron
'Never mind Weasel,those ingredients have mixed we don't know what it does we have to get out before..'Draco collapsed to the ground not finishing his sentence.
'Draco?!' Harry exclaimed confused as everyone started to fall like flies around him inhaling the mist that had formed, Harry fell face first into the concoction on the floor, dead to the world.
