Hermione, Ron, and Snuffles were starting to become exhausted from the excruciating walk of going around in circles.
"Are you sure we haven't been here Herm? I seriously think I remember this same stump." Ron said sitting down on 'that' stump.
"Oh, don't be silly Ron, of course this is different, that tree over there has some sort of fungus growing on it, and I don't recall passing one that is bent in such an odd way. And besides, all stumps look alike to you, mainly because you have been saying that every single time you see one." Hermione rationalized.
"Please stop, you are making my head hurt."
"Good at least I am good for something, now come along get up. You too Snuffles." Hermione said while yanking Ron up then turning to the big black dog who was peacefully sleeping during the two's argument. Snuffles upon hearing his name looked at Herm as if to say, 'can't we just rest for 5min?'
"Oh come on, don't be a lazy dog, up come on"
So the three moved onward, with Snuffles and Ron resting every chance they got, only to be pushed up by Hermione a second later.

"We must get Father!" Exclaimed Draco with a glint of happiness in his eyes.
"Do you think it would be safe to allow Crabbe and Goyle to watch Harry?"
"Can't we just take Potter with us?"
"Are you insane? Dumbledore would know, I am sure he can feel when Harry is here somehow, the old man does have his ways."
"Then how are we ever going to get Harry away from Hogwarts?"
"That is what our parents are for, of course… they know how to handle those things, I mean it will be a piece of cake really."
"Personally I don't believe that we can trust Crabbe and Goyle with Harry, and I can't let them go and spread the message, so one of us must stay, and the other go."
"Well I guess I can stay, you go."
"Are you sure? Don't let you and Harry's past relationship get the better of you." Draco said making Lavender laugh.
"You've GOT to be kidding."
"Still, all the same…"
"Come ON Draco, you know that our parents find you much more trustworthy than me because you are not a girl."
"That's a relief…"
"Why?"
"OH never-mind, I am going to take Crabbe with me, and Goyle will stay with you."
"Okay, deal." Lavender replied taking his hand and shaking it.

"Hermione, when I get my strength back, remind me to ring your neck." Ron said as he shuffled his feet along the dirt followed closely by Snuffles who was doing practically the same thing.
"Must you guy's be so weak? Okay, why don't you two rest, and I will just go out a little farther."
"No Herm, we aren't suppose to split up, and I don't want you getting lost." Ron said becoming much more alert.
"Yea Hermione, and Harry wouldn't want you getting separated, where if you got hurt, or taken away when there wasn't someone there which could help you in any form who could have been there." Sirius said morphing back into his human form.
Hermione sighed, "I know, I just want to find him," she said sitting down on a rock.
"We all do Herm," Ron said sitting next to her.
"Yea, come on Hermione, lets get some rest, then we'll look." Sirius offered.
"Oh all right," Hermione sighed looking down at her hands.
"You are going to get some sleep to you know," Ron said looking at her knowingly.
"But, I…"
"Hermione, you need rest." Sirius stated.
"Someone…"
"Its okay, just get some sleep." Sirius continued.
"Okay, I'll just close my eyes, but so you both know, I am not asleep."
"That works for us," Ron said smiling because right after Hermione's eyes closed she was fast asleep.
"She must really like him a great deal," Sirius said looking down at the now sleeping form of Hermione.
"Yea," Ron agreed nodding, "Well I am going to get some shut-eye"
"I guess I'll take the first watch then, Night Ron," Sirius rationalized before transforming into the lovable stray Snuffles.
"Night Siri... I mean Snuffles" Ron said with a grin.

"Goyle, would you just go?"
"Uh, where?"
"Just go!" Lavender said annoyed, for he had been walking and circles for the past half-hour.
Harry sat transfixed tied to a tree, he would chuckle to himself during Lavender's and Goyle's many arguments, but he wished he were with Hermione. Then he remembered what Malfoy said, Hermione and Ron would most likely be dead by morning. But then he thought 'hey, Malfoy said that, it probably was just a threat, I hope.'
'Harry stop thinking like that, of course they are fine, you are talking about Hermione and Ron for goodness sakes, Hermione probably found away to get out and has already saved Ron and is looking for me right now.' Harry criticized himself.
'Oh just hurry Hermione' Harry said to himself.
"You are being awfully quiet over their Harry." Lavender commented.
"Did Goyle's conking you over the head cause you not to remember how to talk?" Lavender asked waving a hand in front of Harry's face who still remained motionless.
"Uh, Lavender, Crabbe bonged him, not me…"
"That is not the point Goyle, and I thought I told you to GO" Lavender groaned exasperated.
"You have feelings for Hermione don't you?" Lavender suddenly asked out of the blue which received a puzzling look from Harry.
"I noticed every-time Draco said her name you flinched…"
Harry still looked at her.
"Oh don't deny it. WOULD YOU TALK?"
"Even if I did… what's it to you?" Harry asked slowly and calmly.
"Ooh… You know I love matchmaking!" Lavender exclaimed. Which in turn received an even more confused look from Harry.
"You know I don't have anything against you Harry," Lavender said sitting down next to Harry.
"You are sure good at hiding it."
"Okay, I got it! Oh I don't know…"
"You aren't making much sense Lavender."
Lavender slowly got up and with her she carried I knife which she cut the rope tying Harry's arms.
"Whoops, must of slipped, I must have been scouting the forest to make sure nobody was coming, and Goyle forgot it was his turn to watch you, and you miraculously got out… maybe by the help of a certain Weasly, Granger, and Black."
"What are you talking about?"
"Harry, do you really think I am the evil type? I am, not my father, Draco and I both did this to try and help you get out, do you really think that you'd be able to get out of all these messes alone?"
"You've got to be kidding!"
"Even if I am, just go, Hermione, Ron and your godfather are just out west of here, about a 5min walk… you should find them easily, they are all asleep, just go please Harry, just go."
