Moon Lust
By: Villainess Foul
There is nothing to see here people keep moving on
Slowly their necks turn and then they're gone
No one cares when the show is done
Standing in line and its cold and you want to go
Remember a joke so you turn around
There is no one to listen so you laugh by yourself
Ginny Weasely was never known for her patience or for having a mild temper and today she was in rare form. All night she waited for Hermione to come back and tell her about what had transpired between her and Ron. All night.
Ginny was not amused.
And to make matters worse she has been waiting for Hermione for over a bloody hour to come down so they could go to breakfast together, like they did every morning.
"Mornin' Ginny!" Ron called happily as he walked past, a silly grin firmly plastered across his face. For some reason, this particular morning...it really, really rubbed her the wrong way.
"Hold it!" She grunted, stepping back to snatch him by the arm before he passed her completely. Using strength she didn't know she possessed she yanked him back so his bewildered face was looking at her. "What happened?"
"What do you mean Gin?" he asked, causing Ginny to turn red. She fought the overwhelming urge to slap the confused look off his face.
"I mean what happened between you and Hermione?"
"Why? Did she say something?" He was suddenly solemn and that immediately had Ginny on the defensive.
"No. I haven't bloody seen her since she left with you!"
"You haven't?"
"That's what I've just said Ron! Don't be dense!"
"Well, I haven't seen her since I went back to the castle."
Any color Ginny had in her face immediately drained. "Please tell me you're not telling me what I think you're telling me."
His silence was all the answer she needed.
"What the hell Ron!" She screeched glaring daggers at him as she placed a hand on her hip in a way that was eerily reminiscent of their mother. Ron gulped as his eyes shifted back in forth as if looking for a way out of his current predicament. However the only way out was past his sister and any one still left loitering around the common room wasn't about to jump in and come to his rescue.
Bugger.
"She wanted me to go Gin, I just did what she asked..."
"I don't care! You don't leave a girl out alone at bloody night!" She yelled, pushing him out of her way as she began stomping up the stairs toward Hermione's room.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm seeing if Hermione is up there!" She yelled over her shoulder "And for your sake you better hope she is!"
"What's going on mate?" Harry asked, rubbing his eyes as he came down from the boys dormitory still half asleep and yawning.
"Hermione is missing I suppose."
Harry went from being nearly asleep, to immediately being alert. "What do you mean by you suppose she's missing?"
"After I tried talking to her last night...we kind of got into a fight and well...she told me to leave."
"Didn't you two go outside to talk? You borrowed the marauders map so you could sneak past the teachers."
"Yeah..."
"And you left her alone?" Harry questioned quirking a brow "Outside, at night, by the forbidden forest?"
"Now you're starting to sound like Gin." Ron mumbled unable to look Harry in the eye.
"Well Ron your sister has a point!" He yelled, his eyes narrowing in anger "Shit! I should have just talked to her!"
"Well, you should have!" Ron argued back, the back of his ears starting to turn pink. "You know her and I always end up fighting! You should have just sucked up whatever thing you had against her and just bloody told her!"
Harry opened his mouth to retort however Ginny's shrill voice interrupted him. "RON! SHE'S NOT UP THERE!"
"Shit!" Ron muttered, nervously running his hand through his flaming red hair as he watched his sister stomp her way angrily back down the stairs. "I also asked Lavender and Parvati if they saw her get into bed last night and you want to know what they told me? Do you Ron?"
Ron gulped as Harry watched between the two.
"They told me, she never came to bed last night."
"So...Hermione never came in after her talk with Ron..." Harry Whispered, causing Ginny to turn her attention from her brother to her former lover.
"Don't even get me started on you Harry. Don't think you're innocent in all of this just because Ron was the bloody idiot that left her alone. You have been nothing but nasty to her recently and you treated her like utter rubbish."
Harry at least had the decency to look at the floor in shame.
"what should we do now?" Ron asked, breaking the silent tension that was beginning to build between them.
"We'll have to go to the Headmistress. McGonagall will have an idea on what to do."
Harry and Ron exchanged startled looks but didn't say anything. If Hermione was really missing, then swift action needed to be taken.
She was a third of the golden trio, Harry Potter's best friend, and the smartest witch of their age. She's a target and the thought of Voldemort or his death eaters getting their hands on her sent chills down Harry's spine.
It was fifteen minutes later that Harry, Ginny, and Ron found themselves sitting across a very disgruntled and severe looking Headmistress.
"Please. Explain this to me again." McGonagall snapped, as she leaned back in her over stuffed chair.
"Hermione is missing." Ginny spat, glaring at the two boys in turn before directing her full attention to Headmistress McGonagall. "and it's all their fault."
"Why is it?" McGonagall asked rubbing her temples in hopes to fight off the on coming migraine that she just knew was coming. "That you two in particular have such difficulty in following the rules? Are you able to tell me what the rule is about going outside on castle grounds at night?"
"Not to do it. Especially past curfew." Ron muttered
"And, please refresh my memory Mr. Weasely...what was it that you and Miss Granger did last night?"
"Went out onto the castle grounds at night, past curfew."
"And please, could you explain the thought process that went through your head when you came to the conclusion that leaving Miss Granger alone, outside, where dangerous creatures from the forbidden forest roam about was a good idea?"
"She told me to leave her alone!"
"Because you're a bloody idiot Ron!" Ginny yelled, glaring daggers at her brother "Wait till I tell mum..."
Ron groaned as he buried his head in his hands.
McGonagall merely shook her head in disappointment as she looked at her three Gryffindors. Sighing , she said "You three need to get back to class."
"Back to class?" Harry asked nearly sounding appalled and causing McGonagall to narrow her eyes in a severe stare that made Harry fidget in his seat.
"Yes. Mr. Potter, back to class. I will send out an immediate search party to find Miss Granger."
"We could help..."
"No. I don't think that is a good idea Mr. Potter, I think you and Mr. Weasely has done enough as it is."
"But..."
No buts. Get to class." She snapped, her patience wearing thin as thoughts of one of her favorite students being in mortal peril danced in her head.
The three Gryffindors didn't say anything as they all stood up from their seats and quietly made their way out of her office. She sighed again as she began making arrangements for the search party that would be sent to find Hermione.
Her mind immediately going to one Professor Severus Snape.
Severus.
The very thought of him had her body tingling as she remembered the way his large, masculine hands would roam over her nude body and make her feel beautiful.
He had this way...of making her feel years younger than the age she was currently and she missed the dark and twisted man terribly.
'He's gone now.' she thought shaking her head slowly in a half heart ed attempt to clear her mind of all thoughts of him. 'He did something terrible and he isn't coming back.'
She quickly finished her arrangements and sent off a couple of letters to a few Order members she felt needed to be informed of Hermione's disappearance. With the Witches and Wizards she picked to be in the search team. Minerva McGonagall had high hopes that they would find Hermione by tomorrow.
At least she hoped.
"Why Severus..." She muttered softly to herself as she found herself leaning against the palm of her hand in a contemplative manner. "Why would you kill Albus?"
"Because Minerva, He asked me too."
She gasped, spinning around in her chair to come face to face with the one person that has been occupying her thoughts on and off for the past few weeks.
Speak of the Devil and he shall appear...
"Severus?"
