A/N: Well, I had to get [Draco] Malfoy in the story somehow. In this chapter, we'll sort of find out who stole the box from Harry. We'll also start to see how everyone that came back, yes, even Malfoy, helps our 'trio' in solving the mystery.

"We're back!" shrieked Parvati, right in Malfoy's ear.
"Are all Gryffindors this annoying?" Malfoy asked, rubbing his ear.
"Mr. Malfoy!" huffed Madame Pomfrey. "Gryffindors, along with Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, are your schoolmates, and you shouldn't treat them this way. Especially since these three," She waved a hand in Harry, Hermione, and Ron's direction, "just helped bring you back from that dreadful place!"
"Ooh, ooh, Harry, you brought us back! Can I take a picture of you? I want to remember how you looked right after you saved us," Colin squeaked.
"Not now, Colin," Harry said. Malfoy obviously wasn't paying attention, or he'd say something about a Harry Potter Fan Club.

The students, along with Madame Pomfrey, were now in the library. Now that Madame Pomfrey was there, they couldn't just casually waltz into the Restricted Section.
"With your permission, we'd like to look through some books in the Restricted Section to see if we can find anything to help us," Hermione said to the school nurse.
"Well, in a case as serious as this one, I'm sure Dumbledore would agree to it, so go right ahead," she replied.
So Harry, Ron, Hermione, Parvati, Colin, and Gale started to look through books. "Mister Malfoy!" Madame Pomfrey said. "Help them look!" Groaning, Malfoy got up to help.
Again, Hermione was looking through Dark Magic: Mysterious Items. When she got to the page with the medallion on it, she saw something. She motioned for the students to come and see it. "Guys, come here. I found something. It says that if you stand in the place where the person who made everyone disappear stood, and say 'Disapp Oblivius, you will be transported to Oblivion to where everyone is, and if this is true, them the attacker should still be there." So they headed down to the Great Hall and they pointed out to Harry, Ron, and Hermione where the cloaked man stood.
Madame Pomfrey ran to her office to get some medical supplies, just in case. When she got back, they were ready to go. They all held hands. ("Ugh," said Parvati and Hermione at the same time: they got stuck holding Malfoy's hands.) They let the nurse say the spell, since she was more advanced with spells. "Disapp Oblivius," she said, and they were all transported to a strange place.
It was Oblivion.

They were in a white room. Everything was white; the walls, ceiling, floor, and door. They all slowly made their way towards the door. Ron slowly opened the door. It was a large room full of Hogwarts students and staff! They were all tied up and gagged. A dark figure was in front of them. "Oh, I see we have company…" he said, but the voice was muffled. This was the attacker. They were just about to say something to him, when he continued. "I feel quite hearty today. I will give you a chance to defeat me and save your friends. I will lock you in a room, with-" He counted them. "There are eight of you, so there will be five tests awaiting. One person will try to pass the first test. If they fail, a red light will glow and they will be transported to me. If they pass, a green light will glow, and they will also be transported to me. If you fail, another person can try, but remember, there are five tests and eight people- that only gives you three extra people. Pass all five tests, I will let you go, and save your friends. If you fail, then you will be under my power."
FLASH! They were now in a large room with a single table. On it laid a piece of paper. It said 'Heal this person-no magic- within twenty minutes to pass the first test.'
All of a sudden, Professor Dumbledore was lying on the table with a cut in his stomach. "I can do this," Madame Pomfrey said. She muttered "No magic…hmm…" Out of her bag, she pulled out a sterilized needle and think thread. She started sewing up his stomach. She was done in fifteen minutes flat.
A green light on the wall flashed. Madame Pomfrey was gone, along with her bag. A door opened, admitting them to the next room. This huge room was full of grass, and had a high ceiling. There was a paper posted on the wall. It said 'Quiddich- Against Giants. The remaining people will play. If less than seven remain, you shall lose that many positions. The Seeker will be the one to be transported to me.'
Well, Ron was okay ay Quiddich, Hermione had never played, neither had Parvati, Colin, or Gale. But Harry and Malfoy were both excellent players, and both Seekers. They were going to flip for the position. Harry pulled a bronze Knut out of his pocket. "Call it," he said to Malfoy. Malfoy gave Harry a puzzled expression. "Just say heads or tails." He explained.
"Tails," Malfoy said, confused. Harry flipped the coin. It was tails.
* * *
They found brooms leaned against the wall. Malfoy was Seeker, Ron and Harry were Beaters, Hermione, Parvati, and Gale were Chasers, and Colin was the Keeper. "ARE YOU READY?" a deep voice boomed. The seven "Quiddich players" turned around. There were seven giants, ready to play Quiddich.
A/N: This has turned out to be my longest chapter yet, and the one with the most action. Please review and tell me what you think. Thx.
