"Where the h e double hockey sticks is Hermione?" Harry exclaimed at the breakfast table. Ron jumped at hearing Harry scream like that. Once again, Hermione had disappeared without any say of where she was going.
"How am I supposed to know? She never tells us anything anymore." Ron picked at his eggs.
"Hasn't you're mother told you NOT to play with your food Mr. Weasley?" A voice startled him from behind. He turned around to look Professor Snape in the eye.
"Good morning Weasley, Potter." The boys didn't do anything but sit there.
"Ms. Granger told me to tell you two she'll be fine, she got a little sick and came to me to fix a potion for her. She'll be fine later today."
"Why didn't she go to the hospital wing?" Harry asked, studding Snape's face. Snape narrowed his eyes at this.
"She didn't make it there. I do believe that's where she was headed." Ron and Harry just nodded.
"Where is she, then?" Ron added.
"She's asleep, resting fine. There's no need to worry." Snape looked both of them over once more before he made his way up to his place at the teachers table.
"What do you think really happened?" Ron whispered, leaning over the table to Harry. He shrugged and stared back at Snape.
****************************************
Hermione woke up, she didn't know where she was. She tried to remember how she got there, but she couldn't remember. Judging by the looks of it, she was somewhere in the dungeon. She sat up, put her shoes on and walked to the door. Suddenly she knew where she was, in the Slytherin corridors and she didn't like the looks she got from the other Slytherin's as she walked out of the room.
She made her way through the halls up to her room without anyone noticing. She was happy no one did because she didn't want to explain to any of her room mates where she had been. She remembered talking with Professor Snape, but she didn't remember what. She got her toothbrush, shampoo and anything else she needed and headed off to the bathrooms to get ready.
After she was ready she went down to the common room. There, Harry and Ron were begging her to tell them where she had been. Hermione started to get annoyed again.
"Where were you?" Ron asked.
"I went for a walk, I guess I blacked out at one point."
"Blacked out?! Snape said you were sick." Harry pointed out.
"To tell you the truth, I wasn't feeling good." Hermione shook Harry and Ron off of her and sat down in a chair closest to the fireplace.
"Why didn't you go to the hospital wing?" Harry questioned, sitting in the chair across from her.
"I didn't know where I was headed, I just wanted to be alone."
"You could have told us that in the first place." Ron said, acting hurt.
"I tried, but you two wouldn't leave me alone!" Hermione raised her voice a little. She wasn't feeling as great as she did before. Harry and Ron were making her mad about not letting her be in peace for a while. Her arm was beginning to hurt again.
"Well next time just say: 'guy's…I need to be left alone for fifteen minuets.'" Ron said, trying to imitate Hermione's voice the best he could. Hermione gave a mad stare toward him. He ignored to look and looked at Harry. Harry shook his head as a warning to lay off.
"Listen, Hermione, we're just trying to be good friends. You can talk to us about whatever you want, you know that. Just next time let us know if you're not feeling well. We'll leave you alone. Simple as that." Hermione ignored Harry and stared at the floor into space. Harry and Ron shrugged.
"Oh, FYI. We have potions in fifteen minuets." Harry said before leaving to go to class. Hermione sighed. That's the last thing she wanted right now. Class, especially with the Slytherin body. Hermione thought she saw Draco in the furthest corner when she came out of the room that afternoon.
