Chapter #1:
-"Where´s Hermione?"-Ron said while he was taking into his mouth a big piece of chocolate cake at lunch time in the Great Hall.
-"No idea, I didnt see her this morning either"-Harry said raising an eye-brow
"I bet she is looking for her stupid cat!" - Ron said, looking at the cake on his hands like if it was an enemy.
"ha ha , probably"- said Harry smiling looking at Ron´s expression.

Later in the History of Magic Class……
"Where is she??, She never misses a class!!!" -Ron said, bending to reach Harry´s ear, and just when Harry was opening his mouth to say something…"I saw her this morning guys,!" - said the French new girl sat beside Harry,about her, they only knew that she was a new student in Griffindor´s and that she had to be from France, because of her accent, anyway, she had information, so who cares? - they thought-, so Ron and Harry turned to look at her like asking for more information, so in a hardly listen toable whisper, the girl said "Well, I saw her walking near to the house of the Magic Creatures Professor, that big man, friend of yours, maybe it´s me but she was looking a bit weird, and carring a cat"
-"Hagrid!!!!!???" - Ron said in such a laud voice that the professor asked them 3 to stay after class, cleaning the class-room.
* After cleaning up, Harry said: "O.K, let´s go and find Hermione, this is too strange, she would never miss a class"
-"Good Idea!" said the French girl, "join me, I will show you where I saw her", so them 3 left the room, but Ron just followed them while he was wondering what was going on?!.

After a while walking by the forest, looking for Hermione, Harry said: "Hey, pardon me, but…..your name is…?" "Debrah Du Toit, you can call me Debs^^" - she said smiling and stretching to him her hand - "Harry Potter" - Harry said - "he he I know that" Debrah said smiling - while Harry was blushing stretching his hand to her. -"Ronald Weasley, call me Ron" - said Ron smiling and jumping in the meddle.
-"Why dont we check on Hagrid´s" Harry asked, "Yeah, let´s go" Ron said.
*********************** ********************** ***********************
At Hagrid´s…
-"Hermione?, oh yeah!, she came this morning and asked me about her cat, she said that the cat was acting a bit weird lately, anyway, I didnt see anything strange on it" -Hagrid said scratching his head, and looking at them a bit confused
-"Do you know where she went to?" - added Ron raising an eye-brow
-"No, not really -Hagrid said - Why?, what happened?", "Well, none of us saw her this morning, exept by Debrah…" - "Who?" -Hagrid said even more confused - "..Debs"- Harry said indicating with the finger to Debrah
-"Hi, I am Debrah Du Toit, this is my first year in Howgarts"- Debrah said stretching her hand to Hagrid.
-"Glad to meet you Debrah, and welcome"- Hagrid said smiling and stretching his big hand-
-"So as I was saying -Harry added- we havent seen her the whole day, and also, she missed the History of Magic class, which is something that she never does"
-"I think we should go back to the castle, maybe she is back now, otherwise, we can always go to talk to Dumbledogne" -said Debrah- "Dumbledore" -Ron corrected-
-"he he…Sorry^^, I am still trying to learn all the names" Debrah said, and smiled blushing.

Back in the castle, they went to Griffindor´s commun room, but Hermione was not there, so Harry said; "Alright…I am going to the library, Ron, you go to check in the Great Hall, and Debs, you can.." -and before Harry finished, Debrah said; "Yes, I check in the girls room, ok, good", -Harry looked at her a bit surprised, "Cool" he thought.-
-"Ok, let´s go!", -Ron said while they were leaving the commun room,
-"Meet you here later!" -Debrah screamed to their back.-
*********************** *********************** ***********************
-"Well, here I go, I am sure that I will find her here" -Harry said to Ron and got into the library, and Ron kept walking to the Great Hall.
In the library, Harry saw Hermione´s books in one of the tables, so he went to find her in the corridors between the big shelves with books, and there she was, talking in a soft whisper with with Draco Malfoy!!!!
-"What the …" -Harry thought- and before he finished, Draco saw him, and left Hermione alone without saying a word, but she didnt move, so Harry walked as fast as he could to talk to her.."Hermione!, what was that?, where have you been?, we have been…"- "Oh! Hi Harry" -she said like if she just realised that he was there, and Harry stood looking at her with his mouth open, but no words coming out of it, he knew that something wrong was happening…..
