"Harry! We need to go to Dumbledore!" Hermione urged as they helped a limping Ron to the Hospital wing.
"We don't know anything, and quite frankly we won't till he is fully conscious," Harry said jerking his head at Ron who was pretty much a dead weight to him and Hermione.
"Yea, well he at least needs to know Ron is hurt…"
"Knowing Dumbledore, he already knows"
"Yea," Hermione laughed straining herself to keep Ron up, though he didn't look it, he was heavy.
Finally after a couple of minutes, which felt like hours, they arrived at the Hospital Wing, having only of fallen once. Feeling quite proud of themselves, Harry and Hermione explained that they just found Ron on the ground, and he was muttering some nonsense. Heading back, they decided to go outside and walk around the pond to talk about things when they bumped into Dumbledore.
"Oh, I'm sorry Miss Granger, Mister Potter, I was looking for Miss Brown and Mister Malfoy, have you seen them?"
"No sir." Harry said.
"Oh well then it is most curious, nobody has seem to know where they are, I was about to go search the Forbidden Forest" Dumbledore said, the usual twinkle seemed to not be present in his bright blue eyes.
"Sorry Professor Dumbledore," Hermione said apologetically.
"Oh it is alright my dear, carry on, but if they are not in their common rooms tonight, then this is most strange."
Moving along, Harry and Hermione continued walking towards the pond and Dumbledore headed off.
"Wonder where they could be…" Hermione said.
"Who knows, and frankly who cares, we are probably better off with out them anyway…"
"But Harry! Whom could we fight with and roll our eyes at if they two aren't here??" Hermione asked jokingly.
"There is always Snape, Crabbe, Goyle, and Parvati is pretty much a Lavender." Harry replied.
"Yea, I suppose, but Crabbe and Goyle aren't very smart, no witty comments or anything… Snape, well he'll always be there, but unless we want to lose 500 points, we better not fight with him too much, and last Parvati? She is actually somewhat nice without Lavender, I mean didn't you two go to the Yule Ball together?"
"That's only because there was nobody else!"
"Mhmmm…"
"Oh why are we even talking about this anyway? It is completely pointless in my opinion."
Hermione laughed, "Okay then lets talk about Ron, have any clues about what, when, why, where, who, and how he ended up like he did?"
"My guess is Lavender beat him up…"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Personally I don't think she could've done much damage…"
"I wouldn't put anything past her…"
"Just cause you believe she can do anything, doesn't mean she can you know…"
"Lets please just drop it? Ron'll be able to explain everything when he wakes up."
"Yea, I suppose…"
"Lets sit, my legs are getting tierd." Harry said motioning to the ground.
"Oh okay… jeez I thought some great athlete like you could last longer than I could with walking… I must have been wrong!"
"You were wrong? That's a first!"
Hermione sighed, it was so beautiful here. She was siting with Harry looking out over the lake where you could see the sunset barely beginning.
"Its so beautiful here…" Hermione said waving her hand around.
"Yea…"
Hermione looked over at Harry to see him looking at her, but quickly glance away his face turning bright red.
"Hey, Herm…"
"Yea?"
"You know how the Fall Festival is coming up this weekend?" Harry asked.
"Yea…"
"Well… I was wondering… well… if… you… err… wanted…. to go… with me?" He said slowly.
Hermione threw her arms around his neck.
"Of course I would!"
Yet then she pulled back…
"Sure you don't want to go with Ginny?" she asked with an evil grin.
"I think she finally agreed to go with Neville!"
Noticing her arms were still around Harry she let go, "You're kidding right?"
"Nope! Either she has started to like him, finally gave in cause he was annoying her, or there was nobody left…"
"Probably the 2nd or 3rd" Hermione laughed.
"Yea, probably!" Harry smiled which reminded her that she was going to the Festival with him, she bit her lip so that she didn't go overly excited.
"Hey, it's getting cold, lets go in!" Hermione suggest though she really didn't want to.
"Yea…"
Harry casually rested an arm on her shoulders and she automatically put her arm around his waist and they walked to the school together like that.

Christine harvey – Yes, I never really like Lavender either, does it show a little too much? =) well I have some sympathy for her in this story… usually I like her and Ron together… but somehow I got the weird idea to make her evil… I think it was because of a review someone gave!! =) but who knows… my mind is weird on some days….

Dracona – They are answers meaning I have no idea what is going to happen, I use to have this nice little plan, but then people started reviewing.. and I got the strangest ideas from some of them =) and I liked Ron too much to not let him free!! =) and Yes, they are quite stupid, its mainly cause they don't really want to do what their parents asked…
~~~Katy_Black~~~ - I actually thought of that – Making Neville be evil also =) but then… I already made all the characters I wanted to be nice evil.. well sorta.. I dunno… we'll just have to see what happens =) – the reason this story is weird is cause I write a new chapter everyday… so depending on how I feel one day… can make the story change like totally =)
