Chapter 4

Innocent

Hermione ran crying all the way back to her common room. She ran by Hagrid again.

"Hiya 'Ermione!" He yelled. Hermione just kept running. "Was it something a said?" Hagrid thought.

When Hermione got up to her common room she calasped on her bed crying. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. "Go away!" Hermione screamed.

"Its us! Harry, and Ron!" They yelled.

"Fine come in." She said. Harry and Ron walked in slowly.

"Hermione? What's wrong?" Ron asked.

"Never mind." She said trying to hold in her tears. "I'm going to be expelled from Hogwarts!"

"What!?" You!? But you're perfect!" Yelled Harry.

"Shut up! I'm not perfect!"

"Sorry, you can tell us what's happening." They said. So Hermione told them the story.

"Wow, but how did it get into your bag?" Asked Harry.

"I don't know!" Yelled Hermione.

"Well, what did you do today?" Asked Ron.

"Well I slept in, I was in a hurry, I put on my clothes and ran out the door, then I, um, I can't really remember, oh yeah! I bumbed into Rita Skeeter. Then no one was in the Potions room. Then I met The Bloody Barren and Nearly Headless Nick....then Nick told me you were in the green house, I passed by Hagrid and said hi, gotta go, bye and then broke the door down and lost about 183 points for Gryffindor. Great day wasn't it?" She said in a sarcastic voice. Harry and Ron thought.

"I know who did it!" Yelled Ron. "It was Hagrid!!" When you said hi, got to go, bye maybe some evil rage grew upon him and and went crazy! He then slipped that paper into your bag for evil revenge! Now....how smart am I?" Harry and Hermione looked at him, there was an uncomfortable silence. "Well, that's what I would do..." He said in a very low tone.

"Anyway, I don't know who would do that to you....I mean no one hates you"

"The Bloody Barren!" They looked at him again. "....okay...okay...worth

"I got it!" Screamed Hermione. "How thick are we!? It was Rita Skeeter! I bumped into her and our stuff a try."

"Hum..." got mixed up! I must of taken one of her storys she was going to write!"

"Oh my god!" Harry and Ron screamed together.

"You can't be expelled for that!" Screamed Ron.

"Well...I still have to turn in this detention slip to McGonnagal before I get in more trouble.

"Yeah...but Snape would have already shown Dumbledore the paper!" Said Harry.

"Don't worry 'bout that...Dumbledore knows we wouldn't do anything like that."

"Well that's true." Said Hermione. "Well I'm going down to McGonnagal now."

"OK, see you latter." Said Harry and Ron.

"Bye."
