"You seem awfully quiet, there dear." Said her Father as he drove them home.

"Yes" her mother said. "Don't you have anything interesting to tell us?"

"The Minister for Magic already told our story. Nothing much else happened."

"Oh. Well you look awfully distracted."

"Mmm." Hermione was listening to a word they said.

[Harry, there's no way I'm going to survive this. I hate to say it, but my parents are going to bore me to death. They're going to smother me, want to know exactly what's going on in my life, apart from me killing a powerful wizards.]

[Sounds nice.]

[Oh, right, you don't have parents to smother you. Believe me, in a way you should be thankful.]

[You've only been gone an hour and a half. If you're bored know... what about in two days?]

[God help me. My parents have been talking to me for a half an hour and I haven't heard a word they've said. I think they're scared of me now.]

Harry laughed. [Herm, try paying attention to them. I have to do my homework, and it's very hard when you're talking in my head.]

[Where's Ron?]

[Out side with Lav. I have a feeling he doesn't want to be disturbed...]

[Fine. But have they fixed Malfoy yet? I feel kinda guilty...]

[Hermi, you turning him into a statue is even funnier than when imposter Moody turned him into a ferret. He'll probably be a better statue than a person, anyways. Dumbledore said if he was turned back, he's going to be tried for attempted murder. Stupid little git.]

[Serves him right. But I gotta go, we're almost home, and if I knew better, there's a surprise party waiting for me. At least I'll have my cousins to talk to...]

[Bye. Think me back!]

**************************************************************************************

"What the... Where am I? What the fuck happened? I can't move!! Why can't I see? Help!! Father? Somebody! HHHHEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!"

**************************************************************************************

"Hmmm, I have no idea, to be honest," said Proffesor McGonagall, checking over the statue.

Snape shrugged his shoulders.

Madam Pomfrey shook her head.

The Headmaster padded back and forth, and kept the fact that he found it quite comical hidden. "I don't know either, Cornelius. I just don't know."

"This is going to be bad. Good thing Lucius is in Azkaban, I would not want to deal with him. But this will get out. And hid mother will not be happy. There's nothing you can do?"

"We'll keep trying... but there's a chance he will be a permanent statue."

Sirius was unable to stifle his laugh. "You know..."

Dumbledore put up his hand to silence his former student. "Sirius, don't say anything." But there was a smile in the corners of this mouth.

Suddenly all present in the room began to laugh, except the Minister for magic.

"Come now! You're all acting like children!"

"Cornelius, you must admit, it is rather comical," said Snape.

"Yes, I guess it is. But please try to fix him."

And with that, the Minister walked out on the still laughing group.

**************************************************************************************

"Come on, Hermione, we're home."

Hermione reluctantly got out of the car. She pulled her trunk out behind her and lugged it up the stairs. The door was opened for them by their maid, Cecilia.

"Hello, Cecilia." Said Hermione. Her parents were not particularly fond of her, but Hermione loved her as an aunt.

"Hello, dear. How's our little hero?" Cecilia was a witch who had decided to live in the muggle world. She hadn't used her magic when Hermione was young, but when Hermione had gotten her Hogwarts letter, she had told her, and often used magic with the housework. She knew all about the wizarding world, and what Hermione, Ron and Harry had done.

"Good!" She hugged her, "I'm going to put this up in my room". She began to pull her trunk up the stairs.

Suddenly, she heard a huge snap, a felt her self, being pulled back violently. She fell backwards down the stairs, and landed painfully at the bottom.

"What the-"

She felt a burning sensation in her hand. Her scar from the Anam Cara flashed then faded.

[Harry? Ron?] no answer. She couldn't feel them. Usually she could feel them in her head but...

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" She screamed. "No!"

Cecelia and her parents came running.

"What honey? We heard a noise, stop screaming!"

"Take mer back! Take me back now!"

"Wha- why honey? What Happened?"

"Take me back right now or Ron and Harry are going to die!!!"

********************************************************************************

"You really should do something other than sit there, Harry." Said Ginny.

"Yeah" said Seamus, you're just staring off into space."

"I just have a bad feeling. Hermione-"

"Oh, he just has separation anxiety." Said Ginny, laughing.

Suddenly there was a big snap. Harry suddenly was jerked out of the chair. He flew across the room. And hit the wall, landing painfully.

"Harry!" Ginny screamed.

Her and Seamus ran over to him. He was lying on the ground, gasping for hair.

"Harry! Are you okay?"

He suddenly stopped breathing.

"Seamus, go get Dumbledore, now! Go!"

Seamus sprinted out of the empty common room.

"Harry! Oh my god... Harry! Hurry Seamus!"

********************************************************************************

"No, come on Lav, it is kind of funny."

"Sure it is, but I still think no one deserves being turned into a statue."

"He was trying to kill Harry. Does he still deserve it?"

"Okay... for trying to kill Harry..." She laughed.

"For killing me?"

"Hmmm... maybe," she said, pulling him for a kiss.

"Suddenly (you know the drill... but I have to say it) there was a loud snap. Ron was jerked back and went flying through the air, norrowly missing a stone statue and flying into a rose bush.

"Ron! Oh my god!"

Lavender ran towards him. Something flashed on his hand.

"Ron, talk to me!"

He was gasping frantically for air, but to no avail. He was turning blue.

"What do I do? What do I do? Okay get help. I'll be back Ron!"

She ran up to the castle, screaming for help all the way.

********************************************************************************

"What do you mean honey? Calm down, they're not going to die? You're probably just tired. Why don't you-"

"No! Take me back to Hogwarts now! They're going to die- we're too far, I can't feel them... I can't feel them... take me back! Take me back, please... they'll die..."

"Dear, just calm down..."

"No!!"

Hermione's parents gasped as something glowed on her forehead. Suddenly Hermione just disappeared before their eyes.

"What? Where is she?"

"I think" said Cecilia, "she wasn't lying. If Ron and Harry are in danger, she could somehow have learned to disparate subconsciously. She's gone back to Hogwarts, if I'm much mistaken."

"Great! I would have never sent her there if I had known how much danger she would have been in... she could have been killed so many times..."

********************************************************************************
"Harry, come on... Come on..."

Ginny gasped as Hermione appeared beside her.

"What? Where?"

"Oh my god..." said Hermione. "Where's Ron? Where is he Ginny?" She was almost screaming, hysterical.

"In the rose garden, out side, with Lavender. Seamus went to get Dumble-"

"Ginny, stay here. Tell Dumbledore I'm here, I felt the snap, and I'm going for Ron. He'll know."

"Fine, but what's that on your forehead?"

Hermione ignored that question. She took a deep breath and Ran towards the window. The glass shattered as she hit it, and she plummeted towards the ground. She felt the mark on her forehead glow as it had before, and she landed flat on her feet. She didn't even stop to marvel at how she did this but she ran o the Rose garden.

She found Ron in the Rose garden, on the ground.

"Ron!" she screamed "Ron! Oh my god..."

She lifted him up and began to carry him up to the castle. (The wonder of adrenaline!) She had read up on the Anam Cara when they had decided on the spell. If they could all get together, they could perform the counter curse. But she should be out like them too... it just didn't make sense. But if they could do the counter curse...

If...

********************************************************************************

Seamus and Lavender reached Dumbledore's office at the same time.

"Ron's hurt! There was a snap, went flying..."

"Harry went flying across the room. A big snap... I don't know what happened... He's not breathing..."

"Whoah. Slow down. You say there was a snap?"

They both nodded.

"That is all I need to know. Where are they?"

********************************************************************************

Please review, sorry, there was no tribute to my reviewers like I said there would be, but I didn't have time. Next time I promise.
