I hate this damn tree.

I let out a grunt as I slid down the tunnel leading below the Whomping Willow, the tree that I was currently cursing in my mind. Just as I started to get up, Hermione collapsed on top of me, letting out a scream as she did.

Ow.

"I'm sorry," she said, sounding like she was in as much pain as I was. And she probably was. She'd been beaten by the stupid tree even more than I had.

"Don't worry," I brushed it off. It didn't hurt that bad.

I couldn't express my gratitude that, though she had to be the one in the most pain at the moment, she was helping me up, making sure that I was okay. I had the best friend in the world by my side; I was more than okay! For the time being, at least.

"Where do you suppose this goes?" she asked.

Oh, yeah. Find Ron. Find and save Ron. "I have a hunch," I muttered, brushing some of the dirt and debris off me. "I just hope I'm wrong," I added, then the two of us started down the tunnel.


A/N: I officially love Movie #3 even more than I did before. This is probably where the bulk of this story will be coming from, since it's chock-full of H/Hr moments! I love it! :D Brilliant! Please leave a review before you push the little red X, or go look for another story. I really want to know your opinions. Much love!
