Chapter 1
Hermione's POV
I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes annoying me greatly. I groaned as I sat up and threw my sheets off myself and made my way over to the bathroom to get washed up for breakfast.
I got dressed and made my way down the winding staircase to the common room, where Harry and Ron were waiting for me. The second that Harry turned around I nearly drowned in his sea green eyes. The smile he flashed me was so cute… No Hermione! What are you thinking? I scolded myself.
"Ready to go to breakfast 'Mione?" Ron asked me in the middle of my lecture to myself.
I didn't trust my voice, so I just nodded. We made our way down to the Great Hall and had breakfast.
That's when I noticed something. "Guys?" I whispered so only Ron and Harry could hear. "Where's Malfoy? He hasn't been to any meals lately. Don't you think that's sort of suspicious?"
Harry nodded "Meet me at 10 in the Common Room. I need to show you guys something." With that, he grabbed his bag, got up, and left.
I then got up as well and left to my first class, Potions, with Ron.
..ooOoo..
After my last class, I headed down to dinner. I glanced at the Slytherin table and I didn't see a single head of platinum blonde hair. Soon Ron came and sat with me, but no sign of Harry.
"Ron, where's Harry?" I asked getting a bit worried.
"Calm down 'Mione! He's with Dumbledore, so he's perfectly fine!"
I calmed down a bit but for some reason I felt tense. I finished dinner before Ron and he told me he'd meet me in the Common Room, so I walked back alone.
As I was nearly to the Fat Lady portrait, I saw a flash of platinum blonde hair on the 7th floor, and I knew that that hair only belonged to Malfoy, so I followed him until he stopped at a wall, but not just any wall, I knew that wall from the previous year, that wall was where the Room of Requirements was. But why Malfoy was there, I didn't know, and I hate not knowing. Because I was so deep in thought, I lost my balanced, and fell. Fortunately, I caught myself with my foot, but unfortunately, my shoes made a click on the tiled floor, which was just enough to get his attention.
The last thing I remember was Malfoy pointing his wand at me and a flash of red blinded my eyes.
