Harry had begun to piece it together. Hinata had stolen the diary. Maybe she had something to do with all this.

Harry shook his head. Not Hinata. She was gentle and kind. She'd never attack anyone.

But Hagrid was innocent. Last night had proved that. He sighed. And taken years off his life.

Hinata suddenly stopped him in the hallway. "H-Harry. I have to tell you something. H-Harry I..."

Ron stopped them. "Harry let's go to dinner, ok?"

Hinata stared after them as if she wanted to go after Harry.

Harry looked back at her. "We'll talk later, Hinata."
