Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter or any other character's assocated with the book or movies all those rights belong to J.K. Rowling. If I did own Harry Potter, Harry would be with Hermione, Ron wouldn't be a complete Jackass and Ginny wouldn't have wasted her life fauning over the boy who lived. But sadly I don't so on with the story.

Gryfinndor Common Room

Meanwhile in the Gryfindor common room, Ron and Hermione were patiently waiting for Harry to return.

"It has been 2 hours since we left Harry with professor Snape. I hope nothing has happened to them."

"Hermione", Ron exclaims, "This is Snape we are talking about, who knows what horrible things he is doing to Harry right now."

Hermione started to pace in front of the Gryfindor tower's large ornate fireplace, worried about her best firend.

"Ron, Professor Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts, imployed by Dumbledore not only to teach, but to also ensure the students are safe from the Darkness that lurks beyond these walls, as well as to keep the students safe from any deatheaters that might roam these walls. Plus, Dumbledore trusts him, and if Dumbledore trusts him then we are going to have to trust him."

Ron snorted, "When hell freezes over and a horde of dementors start running around the world with Voldemort, plotting world peace, will I ever trust Snape, and we both know that neither is going to happen."

Exsaperated, Hermione crossed her arms and said, "Well, we need to go and see what is taking him so long."

With that in mind, Ron and Hermione left the common room and walked the long distance from the from the Gyfindor tower to the Dungeons. On their way there, they had the unfortunate pleasure of running into none other than Draco Malfoy and his cronies, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.

"Well, well, look who we have here, the weasel, and the mudblood. What are you two blood traitors doing in our neck of the woods.", Draco sneered.

Hermione had to restrain Ron from punching Malfoy in the mouth, when he said the forbidden word, "mudblood."

"It's really none of your business Malfoy, we have to get going."

Hermione tried to drag Ron and herself around Draco but Crabbe and Goyle,who were flanking them, pushed them back.

"Going somewhere, mudblood?"

Ron being Ron, bellowed out, "Don't call her that!!!"

Malfoy ignored him and kept talking. Ron noticed this and it made him even madder. Only Hermione's hand on his wrist prevented him from lunging at the fair-haired boy.

"It's a pity about Potter though. Once Snape has at him. Poor Potter, he probably won't survive the night. Potter never stood a chance. Once the Dark Lord has you broken, you are only but a shadow of your former self.

Ron and Hermione exchanged fearful glances before they took off running towards the Hospital wing. Once they got there it was deserted. The two friends noticed that one part of the hospital wing was closed off. Hermione recgonized the notice me not charm and said the counter spell, then she pulled back the curtain and couldn't help but gasp. Ron came over and when he saw what lay behind the curtain, he too gasped.

There was blood on the floor but that was not what caught the duo's attention. On the floor written in blood was a single word , but that one single word was enough to make Hermione faint and Ron to lose all the color in his face. He sat down on the edge of a hospital bed and stared at the word in silence.

When Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Albus Dumbledore, Deputy Headmistress and Head of Gryfindor, Proffesor Minerva McGonagall, the Head of Hufflepuff, Professor Pomona Sprout and the Head of Ravenclaw Proffesor Filius Flitwick wing, they all rushed up to Ron and McGonagall revived Hermione. Dumbledore asked solomnly what happened.

Ron spoke up as Hermione was still in shock.

"When Harry didn't return to the common room after potions, Hermione and me, went looking for him and we ended up running into Malfoy. After insulting Hermione repeatedly, he told us that Snape took Harry and that he is really working fo the Dark Lord. That slimy no good *******"

"Mr. Weasley!!!" McGonagall shouted, shocked at his choice of words. Dumbledore held up his hand to stop his deputy from reprimanding her student as they had more pressing matters to attend to.

'Minerva, contact the order of the phenoix and have them start searching for Harry, if they find Snape, I want him brought to me alive. The same goes for the Deatheater called Wormtail."

"Yes sir."

"Children", he said turning to Ron and Hermione, "I think it would be best if you went back to your common room for now. Tell no one of this as there are even spies in Gryfinndor that would take the chance to report you to the Dark Lord. You may tell Miss Wealsey, Mr. Longbottom and Miss Lovegood as I know that all of you are close, but it is of the upmost importance that you reveal nothing of this meeting to anyone else, am I clear?"

Ron and Hermione nod their heads, "yes Proffesor."

"Good, now back to your common room with you."

The two students left the Hospital wing, worried about their friend.

Dumbledore looked at the blood with a sadness that made him look a hundred years older than he actually was.

"Harry, my boy I have failed you, but right her and now I promise to do anything I can to save you." With that declaration he left to inform the Order of the Phenoix of the invents that have come to pass in he last 24 hours.

The blood written word on the wall shone with an unnatural light that would have unnerved even the bravest of souls were they to even glance upon it, the word was yet a small desperate plea.
