Always Someone

Chapter 4

Hermione and Ron met everyday after dinner to discuss the letter and to work on solving whatever mystery was behind it all. Ron loved the time they had together. The way they sifted through information, talked about each detail, searched through books possibly leading them to something important. He secretly looked forward to their little meetings every night, but he wouldn't admit it. Hermione seemed excited by all the suspense as well, and she would smile and joke as much as she could. They hadn't made much progress, considering all they had was the mysterious letter, but they still worked hard and tried to piece together as much as they could from what little they had. Ron and Hermione hadn't told Harry about the letter yet, and were still debating if they should, when, and how to bring it up if they did. It may seem wrong not to include Harry, but they weren't sure how he would react and what he would do, and if he would care at all or brush it aside like it annoyed him. Both of them also worried, deep down, that he would interfere with their daily meets, the only time where they could be alone. The time when they were not worried about schoolwork or classes, just taking time to enjoy trying to solve this mystery, and over all, they enjoyed this time together, when they didn't argue. They both knew risking that time would just be too much right now.

Ron was in the boys' dorm, talking to Harry about Quidditch. He was half- aware his daily meeting with Hermione was approaching, so he took a quick glance at the clock. He had 5 minutes to get dressed, (out of his robes, into his night clothes) get away from Harry, (not like Harry was holding him captive, but he had to leave without Harry getting too suspicious) and getting to the meeting place Hermione had told him about, and where they met every night.

"Uh, Harry, I think I'm going to change, then maybe I'll take a walk to the common room, if you don't mind." Ron said non-chalantly, hoping Harry wouldn't want to join him.

"Alright then, I think I'll get to bed early, I'm kind of tired. Goodnight, Ron." Harry yawned.

"Goodnight Harry." Ron replied and proceeded to get dressed at lightning speed. Within three minutes, he was dressed, out, and at the meeting spot in the shadowed corner of the Gryffindor Common Room.

Hermione wasn't there yet, so Ron sat in one of the heavily cushioned chairs by the blazing fire.

After five minutes, Ron began to get a little worried, but he waited a little longer.

After twenty minutes had passed and Hermione still wasn't there, Ron walked out of the common room and walked quietly up the stairs headed to the dormitories. Before he reached the girls' dormitory, where he was heading to see if anyone had seen Hermione, he saw a cluster of Gryffindors talking with worried looks on their faces. He was able to hear a bit of what they were saying,

"Just came out of nowhere, must've frightened them, and knocked them unconscious." One of the 5th year girls said dubiously.

"Are they gonna be okay?" Another 5th year girl asked, sounding frightened. "What're the names they announced? Who was it they found at the scene?" The same girl continued.

"I hope they will. I remember these names, I believe they were, 'Cho Chang, Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Ginny Weasley, and Hermione Granger.'" The girl said, trembling a bit.

Ron froze on the spot, his sister, his best friend, and everyone else- he knew them all. He didn't know what happened but he knew it was horrible. Harry came running out of the dorm,

"There was an attack, did you hear-? I need to get to the hospital wing- you coming?" Harry sounded frightened as well. Ron nodded, furious and scared at the same time. He had yet to find out what happened, but he had to see if everyone was okay. He ran down to the hospital wing without saying another word.

"I just want them to know I love them." Ron whispered as he rushed to the hospital wing window, barely able to see his sister and Hermione laying on two beds parallel to each other.

"Them?" Harry questioned, seeing Ron look and Ginny and Hermione.

At that moment Ron realized so many things, he didn't even know what to think first, but he replied with a nod, and headed to the hospital wing door.
