Author's Note- The timeline of Harry's incarceration is vaguely like this-
Harry asks Ginny to the dance. Ginny runs off and tells the whole universe.
Snape finds out, and locks Harry in a cupboard the day before the dance,
taking his place. Harry was in the cupboard for two days, making him
extremely thirsty, but still alive.
There will be an explanation later as to how Snape taught potions while pretending to be Harry.
The Harry in the cupboard is the real Harry.

Hermione flicked frantically through the pages of several ancient books, bringing up occasional clouds of dust as she shoved them away one by one. She dropped the last one on the floor with a sigh of defeat.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked, looking up from the Quidditch book he was reading (he was taking a break. He'd been taking a break for about an hour and a half)
"I've found nothing!" Hermione complained. "Madam Pince won't let us fifth years anywhere near the books on time travel, and all the decent counter curses are in the Restricted Section" She glanced over her shoulder. The librarian was watching them. It was a bit odd for two students to be in the library when according to the clock they should have been in Charms.
"Hey Ron." Hermione asked. "How fast can you run?"
"I can outrun the twins." He replied. "Why?"
"I'm going to the Restricted Section." Hermione whispered. She thrust a book into his hands. "Make sure Madam Pinch can see you. Then shove this under your jumper and run."
"Why Miss Granger!" Ron said, pretending to be shocked. "I always thought you were such a good girl!" He made a show of concealing the book before turning on his heel and sprinting off.
"Hey! You have to borrow that!" the librarian shouted, running out after him.
Hermione counted to ten before walking calmly over to the Restricted Section.
Harry and Ginny were walking down to the kitchens when Ron and Madam Pince ran past. Ron threw a book at them before ducking into a secret passage behind a tapestry, closely followed by the irate librarian.
"Well. I'm sure there's a logical explanation for that." Harry commented, picking up the book.
Ron returned five minutes later, red and puffing. "She…. caught me but…I didn't have….. the book…so…she had to…let me go." He wheezed. "I just lost five points for Gryffindor."
"That's nothing. We lost a thousand points last night, remember?" Harry said.
"Okay. Do you have any water?"
"We were just going down to the kitchens to get some." Ginny said. "What were you doing?"
"Distracting the librarian. I hope Hermione is out of the Restricted Section by now."
"What's Hermione doing in there?"
"Living dangerously."
Hermione was sitting quietly reading a book when Madam Pince returned. She waited a few minutes until Madam Pince went to another part of the library before leaving with a squirming book bag.
