Harry groggily sat up; he was on the grass and looked around to see where he was. Noticing that Hermione was next to him with her head in her hands, he touched her lightly. Hermione turned slowly then threw her arms around him with such alacrity that he fell over onto the grass.
"Hermione, where are we?" He asked after she kissed him briefly and rolled off of him.
"I don't know…" she replied laying next to him, "I was thrown here... then met up with Ron…"
"Ron is here??"
"He is looking for Ginny…"
"But… I think it was Lavender who was tossed down here."
"How? Lavender was up there… and they said…"
"Well before I went down that portal thing, Lavender or whoever looked like she was half Lavender, half Ginny…." Harry interuppted.
"You don't think that Ginny…"
"Yes, I think that Ginny used a polyjuice potion to pretend to be Lavender."
"So who was which Lavender all this time?"
"I don't know… its is confusing" Harry said laughing.
"Harry… are you okay?" Hermione asked after Harry winced a little after he sat up. In fact he was hurting, but he didn't want to admit it.
"No, I am fine."
"You had a pretty nasty fall earlier… nearly knocked Ron and I out."
Harry looked at her with a questioning expression on his face.
"When you fell into this world, or whatever it is, you landed on Ron and I while we were walking." Hermione explained.
Harry grinned, "Sorry about that"
Hermione rolled her eyes, but the color drained from her face again as she remembered Harry's nearly lifeless body, "You were knocked out for sometime…"
"I was? How long?" He asked trying to ignore the aching he felt throughout his body.
"I don't know for certain, seemed for about an hour and a half, but I don't have a way to keep time."
Harry looked down at his watch after she mentioned time, and saw that the hands of his watch were going around in circles fast, and the face of it seemed to glow red.
"Hey, Hermione… look at my watch" he said holding it up to her. She gasped and grabbed his arm to pull the watch closer, Harry winced slightly.
"That is really weird…" Hermione said after a minute, then she removed the watch from Harry's arm, and began turning it around and examining it. Taking her wand from her pocket she transfigured a near by stick into a screwdriver, and began to take apart the watch. Harry gave her a weird look and stood up.
The pain from that movement was so great he immediately had to plop back down next to Hermione, she didn't even notice the sudden movements beside her.

Ron was gliding around what he figured to be Hogsmeade. It was quite scary around here for it was quiet and was quite gloomy. He approached what he figured to be The Three Broomsticks, or what would be in their world. Going inside his color vanished quickly from his already quite pale face.
There was a half-decayed body of a man on the floor by his feet. He leaned forward slightly to get a better look when he realized he had seen that person before, but couldn't place a finger on who the person was. He wish Hermione was here, she'd probably know that guy in a heartbeat.
"Ron?" asked a small voice from behind him.
Ron froze cold and turned slowly around.
"GINNY!" he shouted and ran over to the doorway where the girl was standing and threw his arms around her. She looked at him confused.
"No, I am Lavender Ron, don't be silly."
"Ginny, we KNOW who you are, Lavender and Malfoy told us." Ron responded lightly, but, glaring when he said Malfoy.
"No, really Ron…"
"Its okay Ginny, you probably just hit your head when you fell, lets head back over to the hill and meet up with Harry and Hermione. Maybe Harry has come around now."
"No, Ron.. I don't think you know what you are talking about, I AM LAVENDER"
"Ginny. We are going to get you some help, okay? You probably had a nasty fall, after this polyjuice potion wears off, I reckon you'll come around." Ron said grabbing Lavender's arm and they started half floating to where Harry and Hermione lay.

Meanwhile…..
Ginny was sitting Indian style on the floor next to Draco, her wand was now pocketed, and the tension seemed to die down between the two.
"Draco, come on, we need to help Harry, Ron, Hermione and Lavender, whether you like it or not, we need to help them."
Draco rolled his eyes and propped himself up with his elbows, he was in a very vulnerable position if Ginny decided to attack.
"Draco…"
"I know… I know…" he said in his infamous drawling know-it-all voice.
"And Lavender did help you, and you have to side with Harry, Hermione and Ron if we are going to get You-Know-Who…" Ginny started when Draco all of a sudden clamped her mouth shut.
"Shhhhh…" he whispered when she tried to push him off, he was listening very carefully around him. She stopped struggling and tried to listen as well, there was a low rumbling sound, then silence.
Ginny glanced at Draco. He was sitting very still contemplating something, all of a sudden he stood up and yanked Ginny with him and pushed her into a tiny crevice in the wall. Ginny was about to yell at him but she automatically shut up when she saw a guy walked into the room.
He was short, thin guy with a large bald spot surrounded by colorless hair. Ginny wedged a little deeper into the nick in the wall, and Draco stepped out in front of the guy.
"Fancy seeing you here Draco," The man said in a weak voice.
"As well to you Peter," Draco articulated slowly and clearly, "What brings you here?"
"Master wanted to make sure you had carried out his plan, and put Potter, Granger and the two Weasley's in the…." He shuddered and his voice died down.
"Of course." Draco answered quickly before Ginny would hear to much more.
"I see…" He said glancing around nervously around the room, "you know it isn't safe for me here… with Black… I had to hide in the forest all of this time, I am afraid someone caught sight of me running back from Hogwarts that one time."
"Yes, you can leave… all is done here." Draco stated with a nod.
Taking one more nervous glance around the silent room there was a small pop and the rat ran out of sight.
"Draco who was that?" Ginny said coming out from her hiding spot.
"Peter Pettigrew."
"But… isn't he dead?"
"Do you really not know anything? Did Potter not tell you about this?"
Ginny shook her head innocently.
"Then lets not talk about it."
Ginny nodded, then gave Draco a shocking hug. He stepped back with surprise and she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, which he immediately rubbed off, but made a small smile before realizing what exactly happened.
"What in the…"
"You saved me!"
"No… how?"
"You pushed me out of sight, so that Peter guy wouldn't see me!"
Draco shrugged, "But don't do that again."
Ginny laughed and nodded.
"Okay, lets see what we can do about getting Potter out of there." Draco stated firmly looking at Ginny.
"Yes, the sooner the better."

"Ron!" Harry said taking a deep breath to succumb to the pain and standing up, but when he took a step forward he was confused. Hermione started laughing when Harry started testing the delayed time in which he walked, and the seemingly lack of gravity. Ron grinned as he approached them dragging along an extremely mad Lavender.
"I see you found Lavender." Hermione said glancing away from Harry.
"You mean Ginny."
"No, she means Lavender." Harry said gliding over towards them.
"No… remember? This is Ginny? Hermione told me that it was Ginny…"
"Ron, when did you and Lavender go down into the portal?"
"I don't know…"
"Wouldn't you think a polyjuice potion would've worn off by now?" Hermione questioned.
"Well there isn't any type of time here… you should know that, I thought you read everything."
Hermione glared and said frustrated, "Well yes, I have read, and in fact, there isn't anything about this, so sorry that I am kind of new at this?"
"Well don't you have a watch?" He asked pointing at the watch Hermione was holding, "notice how it isn't quite normal? So obviously the same time as we are used to does not mean that it works the same here."
Hermione pouted and glanced at Harry who was sitting in a ball on the ground.
"What's wrong Harry?" Hermione asked concerned and went over and placed a hand on his shoulder. Harry placed one of his hands over hers.
"I don't know… this is weird, it feels different here, I thought I was just hurting because of what you said happened… The portal sucked me into it, I didn't jump…"
Hermione looked at him strangely, "What do you mean Harry, what are you suggesting?"
"I am not suggesting anything, I am just saying, something pulled me into the portal, and this place has an odd feeling to it," He answered softly and put his free hand over his scar, "I wish I understood what this meant."
He looked up at Hermione then over to Ron and Lavender and whispered very softly so they could all barely hear, "I don't think we are alone."
