A/N: well I'm really sorry for the long wait but I've been having family and friend problems lately and wasn't really in the mood to write. Know that most of the stuff has passed, I'm going to at least try and get 3 chapters out before summer's over…maybe even more. With this chapter I had a lot of trouble with cause I wasn't really sure how to make everything happen but I just decided to do my best. Anyway on with the story.

Chapter 7

Harry and Ron spent the hole time in the Quidditch shop. "Ron it's noon right know, we should head back to the Three Broomsticks before Hermione gets mad that were late." said Harry, knowing how she got when they weren't on time. "Alright" sais Ron a bit disappointed that he would have to leave.

They left the Quidditch shop and got to the Three Broomsticks. When they walked in they saw every single Griffindor from there year but Hermione. "Ron it's not like her to be late." said Harry getting worried. "Well we will give her another five minutes and if she's not back then we'll go look for her." said Ron also getting worried.

Five minutes later there was still no sign of Hermione. "Alright Harry were should we start?" asked Ron. "Hmm…..the library, that's were she was going when we split up." said Harry thoughtfully. "Yeah good thinking Harry. Who knows maybe she just lost track of time reading a book, you know how she can be when she's in the library." "Alright let's go" said Harry starting to walk in the direction of the library.

Half way there, Harry suddenly stopped walking. Ron, not paying attention bumped right in him. "Why did you stop mate." he asked. "I just thought of something Ron. Do you know if her dad was going to Hogsmeade today?" asked Harry.

"Ummm…..not that I know of Harry. What are you getting at?" asked Ron confused. "Ron what if her dad is here, he could have her right know and who knows what he could be doing to her. Come on we'll go to the library and start from there to see if anyone saw Hermione leave with anyone."

"Alright let's go" said Ron as they started running to the library. Once there they ran in but were stopped by a loud voice. "No running, people are trying to stu-" "I don't care who I'm interrupting right know, this is a situation between life and death. Did you see anyone with brown curly hair and with a Hogwarts uniform on?" asked Harry cutting off the librarian.

"As a matter of fact I did, she walked straight to the back." "Did you see her leave?" asked Harry. "No no one has come or left ever since she came in, except there was this strange man that came in a couple of minutes after that young girl you speak about." said the librarian politely.

"Thanks for all your help" said Harry before walking quickly to the back. "Yeah thanks" said Ron before following Harry. When they got to the back they found nothing but a book lying on the floor. Ron walked to it and picked it up. "That's strange, Hermione never leaves a book on the floor." "Were could she have gone, the librarian said no one left so they have to be in here somewhere." said Harry looking around for any other clues.

They looked and looked but couldn't find anything. Suddenly Harry noticed something on the wall that caught his attention. He walked up to it and found Hermione's tie on the floor. He looked in front of it but didn't see anything. Getting frustrated he slammed his hand against the wall and to his surprise it opened. It was a tunnel that seemed to lead to some kind of basement,

"Hey Ron I think I found something." said Harry getting his friend's attention. "Wow, do you think it could lead to Hermione" asked Ron amazed. "Well we'll find out won't we." said Harry walking through it, Ron following closely behind.

Hermione was slowly coming too. When she finally opened her eyes she realized she was in some sort of basement, her guess was somewhere in the library.

" Well well well look who finally woke up." said Hermione's dad amused. Hermione moved slowly to a corner and put her knees to her face. "Are you scared of your own father Hermione? Asked her dad, Ryan, amused at how scared his daughter was.

"They will find me you know." said Hermione, putting her Griffindor courage. "Oh really, and how will they know you're here? Nobody will ever know this secret place in the library. Know for my fun." said David advancing to Hermione ready to hit her. He was about to kick her when the door to the dungeon opened, pushing David off his feet.

"Oops" said Ron sarcastically when he realised he opened the door on Hermione's dad. "Are you ok?" asked Harry when he reached Hermione. "Yeah I'm fine, you guys got here just on time." she answered relieved to see them there.

"You guys we better go before he comes through." said Ron. Harry helped Hermione up and they left the library, acting as if nothing happened. "Thank you so much" said Hermione hugging both Harry and Ron. "If it wasn't for you guys who knows what would of happened."

"Yeah well this is the last time you're going somewhere by yourself." said Harry returning the hug. "Yeah, you'll always be with at least one of us." said Ron, also returning the hug. They walked to the Three Broomsticks and had just enough time to drink a butterbeer before heading back to Hogwarts.

A/N: I know it's not very long but this is the only way I could think of finishing this chapter. I promise the next one will be longer. I'll try to have the next one by next week or the week after. Oh ya and thx to everyone who reviewed and please review again lol.
