The Bet
by: hermione-angel
Disclaimer: I own Draco Malfoy ... er - I mean, I DON'T own Draco Malfoy. *sob* None of these characters belong to me; they belong to JK Rowling, my favorite author in the world! Chaze Turge, Den Grudge and Draco Malfoy are mine though. Oops, did I say Draco Malfoy?
Summary: All I have to say is that this is mostly about Draco/Hermione. I absolutely love this pair! This is about Draco and Hermione making a bet and all that kind'a stuff ... well I don't want to tell u what else happens! Read the story!
A/N: Okay, this chapter is a bit weird cause Hermione goes missing and stuff. Just to give you a clue, it's NOT one of the Death Eaters!
Chapter Eight – Missing
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Previously on Harry Potter –
I sighed. Man, I can't believe I have to go around in class looking like this! I've already had a bad hair day! 'Well it COULD get worse! Your father could find out you've been dating the Mudblood and kill you,' my brain said. Well, at least no letters came today.
Suddenly, out of no where, an arrow shot through the window and nearly hit me on the head! ME! Draco Malfoy! I got up and approuched the arrow, which was stuck on the wall. I pulled it out. There was a letter attached to it. Damn! I hate you, brain!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco slowly opened the letter, then closed his eyes shut. After about a minute. He opened one eye and looked at the opened envelope. Nothing happened. Draco gave a huge sigh and flopped down on his bed. Dreading of opening the folded letter, he got his wand, just in case.
He unfolded it slowly, then … he stuck his wand right at the letter, expecting a spell to hit him in the head. Nothing happened. Draco gave another sigh, then began to read. There were only four words written on the piece of paper. The color was a dark red color. Almost like the color of fresh blood. In big bold letters the letter said …
PREPARE TO DIE TRAITOR
Draco sank to the floor. The letter had slipped from his hand. He was all white. Prepare to die traitor. Was his father going to kill him? Of course not! What about his mother? She would have certainly stopped him. 'He's probably just kidding,' Draco thought. He gave a nervous laugh and stood up.
'I have to be strong. Malfoys are NOT weak!' Draco said out loud. ' … But I am …'
***
Hermione frowned. She hated the way Pansy Parkinson always draped herself all over HER Draco! She was always pretending he was her boyfriend! No one knew about their relationship except Den, Harry, Ron and Ginny. Den he had been very quiet since that day in Draco's Dormitory, Harry and Ron hadn't said anything to anyone (surprisingly), and Ginny promised she would rather die than tell. If they wanted things to keep quiet, they couldn't be seen together. So, if she pounced on Pansy and yelled and slapped her to death and tell the bitch that Draco was hers, it would just give everything away.
'Bitch,' Hermione muttered under her breath. 'Get you stinking hands of MY – ' Suddenly Pansy swooped down and placed a kiss on Draco's cheek. Hermione's eyes filled with fire and smoke came out of her ears. 'How DARE you – ' Draco had pushed Pansy off of him, whipping his cheek in disgust. He had taken out his wand. 'Expelliarmus!' he cried pointing his wand at Pansy. She got blasted off her feet and in to a wall.
'Mr. Malfoy!' Professor McGonagall was running over to the Slytherin table along with Professor Snape. (Dumbledore can't run, he's too old and wrinkly) Draco looked up and gave Hermione an apologetic look, and let himself be taken by the raging Professors.
Hermione sighed. She couldn't believe Draco did that for her! He knew that she would have pounced and claw at Pansy if he hadn't done a bit of ass kicking. Hermione looked down at Pansy, who was getting helped up by Professor Sprout and Flitwitch … er – I mean Flitwick. She gave Pansy a look of loathing. 'I hate that Pansy Parkinson,' she muttered. 'Bitch.'
***
Pansy walked the hallway in the Dungeons. It was two or three o'clock in the morning and her throat was sore, she needed a glass of water.
After getting out of the bathroom and drinking three glasses of water, she headed back to the Girl's Dormitory. Suddenly she heard something move behind her. She turned around quickly, expecting someone to be there.
'Hello?' she asked. 'Anyone there?' A person stepped out of the shadows, and Pansy felt herself relax. 'What're YOU doing here?! You're not suppose to be in the Dungeons!' Pansy exclaimed.
'Wha? - Ahhhhhh!' Suddenly she was blasted to the wall. 'Wha – What do you want?! Leave me alone, you – you … freak!' Pansy sobbed as she sank back in to the wall. 'Leave me alone!' 'You shouldn't interfere …' the person said. Pansy looked up, terrified. The person's eyes started to glow a dark red and it reached for her throat. 'LEAVE ME ALONE! – AHHHHHHHH!'
***
'Morning, Mione. Get much sleep last night?' Parvati asked giving Hermione a cheerful smile. Hermione forced a smile. Her hair was tied back into a lose ponytail and she had giant bags under her eyes. 'Yeah,' she said. 'You look tired though. Are you okay?' Ginny asked, worried. 'No, I'm alright,' Hermione said taking her seat. 'Don't lie to us, girl. We know something's wrong. We can feel it in our veins, you getting my drift?' Lavender said. 'Uh, yeah … I think,' Hermione said. 'You just tell us what ever's bothering you, okay?' Parvati said. Hermione just nodded her head and picked up her fork.
'Hey, did you hear about what happened last night? Someone went and scared the hell out of that Slytherin girl. What's her name – Pansy Parkinson,' Natalie McDonald, a Gryffindor Perfect whispered to one of her little girly friends. Parvati, Lavender and Ginny tried to pretend they were eating, but were listening carefully. Hermione just looked down.
'What I heard was, Pansy was walking around in the Dungeons at night trying to get a glass of water, when all of a sudden some sort of creature came out of no where and tried to suck her soul out!' Natalie said. 'A ghost?' Ginny mouthed. 'What do you think it is?' Kristen Lillian asked. 'I dunno, but whatever it is, I think it's gonna strike again tonight!' Natalie squealed. 'Doesn't Dumbledore know?' Carrie Temple asked. 'Yeah, he's trying to keep it quiet though. We're going to have a meeting about it today after classes are done,' Natalie said. 'All the Perfects and Head Boy and Girl are coming.'
Lavender, Parvati and Ginny turned their heads to look at Hermione. 'What?' Hermione asked. Lavender raised her eyebrows. 'Mione, why didn't you tell us,' Parvati asked, looking hurt. 'Yeah, Mione! We thought you were our friend!' Ginny said. Hermione sighed. 'You heard Natalie; we have to keep it quiet!' 'Well, Natalie didn't keep it very quiet, now did she?' Lavender shot back. 'I don't want anyone to worry. I don't want any of my friends getting hurt right? Especially, Harry and Ron …' Hermione said sarcastically.
Suddenly Ron came over to Hermione. He was carrying a package. 'Hey Mione, this arrived for you, from your parents,' he said. 'Thanks,' Hermione said grumpily. She opened the box and a pie suddenly popped out and hit her on the face. 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!' Ron laughed. 'I can't believe you fell for it!' He walked away, laughing like an idiot. Hermione saw him give Harry a high five and steam came out of her ears.
***
Hermione's POV
Aw man. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel so tired? I've been sleeping early enough, so why do I feel so tired every time I get up? 'Hermione!' someone called out. I turned around slowly. Draco ran up to me. He still had his 'new' dew and he seemed pretty ticked off. 'Oh hey, Draco,' I said.
'Hey! – I saw what Potter and Weasley did to you, and I have the perfect plan to get even!' Draco said. My eyes started to droop. 'Huh? – Oh. Maybe later, Draco, I feel really tired today,' I said. He looked up, disappointed. 'Oh. Alright then, can I walk you back to your Dormitory?' he asked.
We walked and walked. Draco was going on, on how Harry and Ron had damaged his beautiful hair. My eyes started to droop once again. Oh man. I feel so tired. So – So tired …
***
Draco laid his head on Hermione's bed. He had taken her to her dormitory after she had blacked out. He had panicked and had almost thought of running into Dumbledore's office. He was worried. Hermione had been acting a bit strange lately. She missed the Perfect's meeting today, and THAT is defiantly NOT what Hermione's like!
'Mmm …' Hermione mumbled and opened one eye. Draco lifted his head from the bed. 'Mione? Are you okay?' he asked. Hermione blinked once, twice, three times. 'Yeah, I'm okay. What happened?' she asked. 'Well, we were walking and then you just collapsed! You scared the hell out of me!' Draco exclaimed. 'I – I'm sorry,' Hermione replied rubbing her forehead.
Draco gave her a worried look. 'You haven't been yourself lately. Not since Potter and those Weasleys ruined my BEAUTIFUL hair!' he said. Hermione chuckled. 'What do you mean?' she asked. 'Well, you didn't come to the Perfect's meeting this afternoon,' Draco started. 'Uh huh,' Hermione said. 'And … I forgot,' Draco said scratching his head confusingly. 'Well, the answer to the first and only question is that I was tired and took a nap and just happened to forget about the meeting, don't be so nosey, Draco,' Hermione said frowning.
Draco sighed and stood up. 'Well, since you're okay now, I'll just leave,' he said sneered. He didn't like the way Hermione was talking to him; he'd best leave now before he says something bad to her. 'Draco, wait!' Draco turned around. Hermione flung her arms around his neck. Draco felt himself blushing. 'W – What?' he asked his face still red. 'Don't go,' she pleaded. 'W – What's wrong with you? You usually don't go ballistic on me like this every time I leave,' Draco said raising an eyebrow. Hermione gave him puppy dog eyes. 'Want a kiss?' she asked batting her eyes at him. 'Uh … are you sure you're not going crazy?' he asked. 'I'm sure,' she said slowly.
Draco sighed. He wasn't going to resist. 'Fine, fine,' he said smirking at her. Hermione eyes brightened. Draco smashed his lips against hers. He put his arms around her waist, continuing their passionate kiss. They hadn't kissed in a while and he was beginning to miss those sweet lips of hers. Usually they were both busy with homework and going to Perfect meetings.
***
It was 2:58 in the morning and the only thing that could be heard from the Gryffindor tower was the loud snoring of Harry and Ron. Harry was sleeping with his arm around his Firebolt and Ron was sucking his thumb. Suddenly – 'AHHHHHHH!!!'
***
'Go away! No visitors!' Madam Pomfrey said. 'But I'm his sister!' Ginny said pointing to Ron. Madam Pomfrey's mouth did a weird twitchy thing and she let her in. 'Only for a few minutes,' she said.
'Omigosh, Ron! Are you okay?!' Ginny screeched. Ron put a hand on his forehead. 'Yeah,' he said sitting up from the bed. 'Harry, are you okay?' Ginny asked. 'Yeah,' Harry said. 'Man, I can't remember anything! What happened?' 'Well, both of you have been taken to the hospital wing in the middle of the night. You were attacked or something. I think it was the ghost!' Ginny said. 'Ghost? What ghost?' Ron asked. 'You know the one that attacked Pansy – ' Ginny put her hand over her mouth before she babbled anything else. 'What? – What attacked Pansy?' Harry asked.
Ginny kept her hand over her mouth and just shook her head. 'C'mon, Ginny! You know Hermione's working with 'him' now and we used to always ask her what's happening in the school. Think of this as your opportunity to shine! You can be like our source of information!' Ron said. 'Now, tell us what's going on!' Ginny hesitated. 'I – Overheard from a friend that a creature of some kind, or a ghost, has been attacking students at night. Pansy was the first. Then you guys … ' she trailed off.
'A ghost? Attacking students?' Harry said. 'Are you sure it was a ghost?' Ron asked. 'Why are you guys asking me?! You were the ones that were attacked! YOU should have seen it!' Ginny said. Ron scratched his head. 'It must have hit us hard. I wonder what it wanted?' he said. 'Maybe like our brains or something,' Harry said. Ginny rolled her eyes. 'As if you two have any – er … I mean … damn,' she said.
Suddenly the door burst open and Draco practically ran in. He slammed Harry against the wall angrily. Ginny shrieked and Drac o gave her a look that could kill. 'Where is she?' Draco said slowly but coldly. He was holding Harry by the collar. 'What the hell are you talking about, Malfoy?!' Harry exclaimed trying with all his strength not to pass out. 'YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!' Draco yelled.
'LET GO OF HIM! HE DIDN'T DO ANYTING, YOU M*THER F*CKEN B*STARD!' Ron yelled. 'SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS, WEASLEY!' Draco yelled. Ginny looked scared now, as Draco took out his wand. 'Seriously, I don't know what you're talking about!' Harry coughed up. 'Liar!' Draco snarled. 'Where's Hermione! What have you done to her?!' 'Hermione?' Ginny whispered. Draco looked at her. 'Have you seen her?' he asked menacingly. 'N – No, I haven't seen her since yesterday. She looked really worn out though,' Ginny said quietly.
Draco continued staring, then surprisingly he let Harry go. 'Hermione's missing,' he said simply. 'WHAT?!' 'I said – ' 'We know what you said, Malfoy,' Ron said. 'What did you mean Hermione was missing?' 'Well, you three, plus Grudge, are the only ones that know that me and Mione are together, so if any of this gets out, I'll swear to god that I'll kill you!' Draco said. Harry, Ron and Ginny nodded. Draco started to blush, 'Well, it was about 8:00 in the morning, and I knew Hermione was probably in the shower, so I had this silly little thought of joining her. So I went in her dormitory and she was gone,' he said.
'S – So, let me get this straight, you were trying to sneak into Mione's dorm to see her naked?!' Ron asked disgusted. Draco flushed. 'That's NOT the point, Weasley!' he said. Everyone looked confused. 'What was your point?' they asked. Draco fell down. (anime style, people!)
'You people are so stupid! – No wonder, it's the two Weasleys and a Potter, no wonder! No wonder!' Draco said. 'Ooh! I get it! – Hermione's missing!' Ginny squealed. 'YES! THANK YOU!' Draco exclaimed. 'What?! Hermione's missing?!' Harry said in shock. 'Yes, that's why I came to you,' Draco said coldly to Harry.
'You don't think the ghost took her?' Ginny asked, horrified. Everyone looked at her. 'Oh … that. Don't tell me you believe in that sort of crap,' Draco said. 'Why would the ghost/creature take MY Mione?' Ginny shrugged. 'Maybe it likes her,' she said. 'IT DOES NOT!' Draco yelled.
'Okay, okay,' Ginny said backing away. 'So, did you tell anyone?' Harry asked. 'No. Figured it was you, you know. I'd come here and beat the crap out of you, then Mione will go tell me I was her prince in shinning armor and we'll live happily ever after,' Draco said. 'You have crazed, weird imagination, Malfoy,' Ron said. Draco growled, 'Don't rub it in!' he said. 'So, what do we do?' Ron asked. 'We have to get her back, that's what, Weasley,' Draco said. 'Y – You mean, you and US, working to – ge – ther?' Harry asked.
'Yes! I swear, Potter. If you were any slower, you'd be gay,' Draco said. 'You mean we have to work with HIM?!' Ron exclaimed. 'C'mon, Ron! We have to find Hermione! I bet ya she's still somewhere in Hogwarts, we just have to look!' Ginny said. 'For once, she's right, Weasely,' Draco said.
'Oh god, I think I'm going to faint,' Ron said. 'C'mon! We have to find her!' Harry said getting up and walking to the door. 'We just have one problem,' Ginny said. 'What?' 'Madam Pomfrey. She wont let us … well, you guys, go,' Ginny said. 'Don't worry, I've learned a few things from Hermione,' Draco said grinning evilly.

'Wha? - Ahhhhhh!' Suddenly she was blasted to the wall. 'Wha – What do you want?! Leave me alone, you – you … freak!' Pansy sobbed as she sank back in to the wall. 'Leave me alone!' 'You shouldn't interfere …' the person said. Pansy looked up, terrified. The person's eyes started to glow a dark red and it reached for her throat. 'LEAVE ME ALONE! – AHHHHHHHH!'

'Morning, Mione. Get much sleep last night?' Parvati asked giving Hermione a cheerful smile. Hermione forced a smile. Her hair was tied back into a lose ponytail and she had giant bags under her eyes. 'Yeah,' she said. 'You look tired though. Are you okay?' Ginny asked, worried. 'No, I'm alright,' Hermione said taking her seat. 'Don't lie to us, girl. We know something's wrong. We can feel it in our veins, you getting my drift?' Lavender said. 'Uh, yeah … I think,' Hermione said. 'You just tell us what ever's bothering you, okay?' Parvati said. Hermione just nodded her head and picked up her fork.
'Hey, did you hear about what happened last night? Someone went and scared the hell out of that Slytherin girl. What's her name – Pansy Parkinson,' Natalie McDonald, a Gryffindor Perfect whispered to one of her little girly friends. Parvati, Lavender and Ginny tried to pretend they were eating, but were listening carefully. Hermione just looked down.
'What I heard was, Pansy was walking around in the Dungeons at night trying to get a glass of water, when all of a sudden some sort of creature came out of no where and tried to suck her soul out!' Natalie said. 'A ghost?' Ginny mouthed. 'What do you think it is?' Kristen Lillian asked. 'I dunno, but whatever it is, I think it's gonna strike again tonight!' Natalie squealed. 'Doesn't Dumbledore know?' Carrie Temple asked. 'Yeah, he's trying to keep it quiet though. We're going to have a meeting about it today after classes are done,' Natalie said. 'All the Perfects and Head Boy and Girl are coming.'
Lavender, Parvati and Ginny turned their heads to look at Hermione. 'What?' Hermione asked. Lavender raised her eyebrows. 'Mione, why didn't you tell us,' Parvati asked, looking hurt. 'Yeah, Mione! We thought you were our friend!' Ginny said. Hermione sighed. 'You heard Natalie; we have to keep it quiet!' 'Well, Natalie didn't keep it very quiet, now did she?' Lavender shot back. 'I don't want anyone to worry. I don't want any of my friends getting hurt right? Especially, Harry and Ron …' Hermione said sarcastically.
Suddenly Ron came over to Hermione. He was carrying a package. 'Hey Mione, this arrived for you, from your parents,' he said. 'Thanks,' Hermione said grumpily. She opened the box and a pie suddenly popped out and hit her on the face. 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!' Ron laughed. 'I can't believe you fell for it!' He walked away, laughing like an idiot. Hermione saw him give Harry a high five and steam came out of her ears.

Hermione's POV
Aw man. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel so tired? I've been sleeping early enough, so why do I feel so tired every time I get up? 'Hermione!' someone called out. I turned around slowly. Draco ran up to me. He still had his 'new' dew and he seemed pretty ticked off. 'Oh hey, Draco,' I said.
'Hey! – I saw what Potter and Weasley did to you, and I have the perfect plan to get even!' Draco said. My eyes started to droop. 'Huh? – Oh. Maybe later, Draco, I feel really tired today,' I said. He looked up, disappointed. 'Oh. Alright then, can I walk you back to your Dormitory?' he asked.
We walked and walked. Draco was going on, on how Harry and Ron had damaged his beautiful hair. My eyes started to droop once again. Oh man. I feel so tired. So – So tired …
***
Draco laid his head on Hermione's bed. He had taken her to her dormitory after she had blacked out. He had panicked and had almost thought of running into Dumbledore's office. He was worried. Hermione had been acting a bit strange lately. She missed the Perfect's meeting today, and THAT is defiantly NOT what Hermione's like!
'Mmm …' Hermione mumbled and opened one eye. Draco lifted his head from the bed. 'Mione? Are you okay?' he asked. Hermione blinked once, twice, three times. 'Yeah, I'm okay. What happened?' she asked. 'Well, we were walking and then you just collapsed! You scared the hell out of me!' Draco exclaimed. 'I – I'm sorry,' Hermione replied rubbing her forehead.
Draco gave her a worried look. 'You haven't been yourself lately. Not since Potter and those Weasleys ruined my BEAUTIFUL hair!' he said. Hermione chuckled. 'What do you mean?' she asked. 'Well, you didn't come to the Perfect's meeting this afternoon,' Draco started. 'Uh huh,' Hermione said. 'And … I forgot,' Draco said scratching his head confusingly. 'Well, the answer to the first and only question is that I was tired and took a nap and just happened to forget about the meeting, don't be so nosey, Draco,' Hermione said frowning.
Draco sighed and stood up. 'Well, since you're okay now, I'll just leave,' he said sneered. He didn't like the way Hermione was talking to him; he'd best leave now before he says something bad to her. 'Draco, wait!' Draco turned around. Hermione flung her arms around his neck. Draco felt himself blushing. 'W – What?' he asked his face still red. 'Don't go,' she pleaded. 'W – What's wrong with you? You usually don't go ballistic on me like this every time I leave,' Draco said raising an eyebrow. Hermione gave him puppy dog eyes. 'Want a kiss?' she asked batting her eyes at him. 'Uh … are you sure you're not going crazy?' he asked. 'I'm sure,' she said slowly.
Draco sighed. He wasn't going to resist. 'Fine, fine,' he said smirking at her. Hermione eyes brightened. Draco smashed his lips against hers. He put his arms around her waist, continuing their passionate kiss. They hadn't kissed in a while and he was beginning to miss those sweet lips of hers. Usually they were both busy with homework and going to Perfect meetings.

It was 2:58 in the morning and the only thing that could be heard from the Gryffindor tower was the loud snoring of Harry and Ron. Harry was sleeping with his arm around his Firebolt and Ron was sucking his thumb. Suddenly – 'AHHHHHHH!!!'
***
'Go away! No visitors!' Madam Pomfrey said. 'But I'm his sister!' Ginny said pointing to Ron. Madam Pomfrey's mouth did a weird twitchy thing and she let her in. 'Only for a few minutes,' she said.
'Omigosh, Ron! Are you okay?!' Ginny screeched. Ron put a hand on his forehead. 'Yeah,' he said sitting up from the bed. 'Harry, are you okay?' Ginny asked. 'Yeah,' Harry said. 'Man, I can't remember anything! What happened?' 'Well, both of you have been taken to the hospital wing in the middle of the night. You were attacked or something. I think it was the ghost!' Ginny said. 'Ghost? What ghost?' Ron asked. 'You know the one that attacked Pansy – ' Ginny put her hand over her mouth before she babbled anything else. 'What? – What attacked Pansy?' Harry asked.
Ginny kept her hand over her mouth and just shook her head. 'C'mon, Ginny! You know Hermione's working with 'him' now and we used to always ask her what's happening in the school. Think of this as your opportunity to shine! You can be like our source of information!' Ron said. 'Now, tell us what's going on!' Ginny hesitated. 'I – Overheard from a friend that a creature of some kind, or a ghost, has been attacking students at night. Pansy was the first. Then you guys … ' she trailed off.
'A ghost? Attacking students?' Harry said. 'Are you sure it was a ghost?' Ron asked. 'Why are you guys asking me?! You were the ones that were attacked! YOU should have seen it!' Ginny said. Ron scratched his head. 'It must have hit us hard. I wonder what it wanted?' he said. 'Maybe like our brains or something,' Harry said. Ginny rolled her eyes. 'As if you two have any – er … I mean … damn,' she said.
Suddenly the door burst open and Draco practically ran in. He slammed Harry against the wall angrily. Ginny shrieked and Drac o gave her a look that could kill. 'Where is she?' Draco said slowly but coldly. He was holding Harry by the collar. 'What the hell are you talking about, Malfoy?!' Harry exclaimed trying with all his strength not to pass out. 'YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!' Draco yelled.
'LET GO OF HIM! HE DIDN'T DO ANYTING, YOU M*THER F*CKEN B*STARD!' Ron yelled. 'SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS, WEASLEY!' Draco yelled. Ginny looked scared now, as Draco took out his wand. 'Seriously, I don't know what you're talking about!' Harry coughed up. 'Liar!' Draco snarled. 'Where's Hermione! What have you done to her?!' 'Hermione?' Ginny whispered. Draco looked at her. 'Have you seen her?' he asked menacingly. 'N – No, I haven't seen her since yesterday. She looked really worn out though,' Ginny said quietly.
Draco continued staring, then surprisingly he let Harry go. 'Hermione's missing,' he said simply. 'WHAT?!' 'I said – ' 'We know what you said, Malfoy,' Ron said. 'What did you mean Hermione was missing?' 'Well, you three, plus Grudge, are the only ones that know that me and Mione are together, so if any of this gets out, I'll swear to god that I'll kill you!' Draco said. Harry, Ron and Ginny nodded. Draco started to blush, 'Well, it was about 8:00 in the morning, and I knew Hermione was probably in the shower, so I had this silly little thought of joining her. So I went in her dormitory and she was gone,' he said.
'S – So, let me get this straight, you were trying to sneak into Mione's dorm to see her naked?!' Ron asked disgusted. Draco flushed. 'That's NOT the point, Weasley!' he said. Everyone looked confused. 'What was your point?' they asked. Draco fell down. (anime style, people!)
'You people are so stupid! – No wonder, it's the two Weasleys and a Potter, no wonder! No wonder!' Draco said. 'Ooh! I get it! – Hermione's missing!' Ginny squealed. 'YES! THANK YOU!' Draco exclaimed. 'What?! Hermione's missing?!' Harry said in shock. 'Yes, that's why I came to you,' Draco said coldly to Harry.
'You don't think the ghost took her?' Ginny asked, horrified. Everyone looked at her. 'Oh … that. Don't tell me you believe in that sort of crap,' Draco said. 'Why would the ghost/creature take MY Mione?' Ginny shrugged. 'Maybe it likes her,' she said. 'IT DOES NOT!' Draco yelled.
'Okay, okay,' Ginny said backing away. 'So, did you tell anyone?' Harry asked. 'No. Figured it was you, you know. I'd come here and beat the crap out of you, then Mione will go tell me I was her prince in shinning armor and we'll live happily ever after,' Draco said. 'You have crazed, weird imagination, Malfoy,' Ron said. Draco growled, 'Don't rub it in!' he said. 'So, what do we do?' Ron asked. 'We have to get her back, that's what, Weasley,' Draco said. 'Y – You mean, you and US, working to – ge – ther?' Harry asked.
'Yes! I swear, Potter. If you were any slower, you'd be gay,' Draco said. 'You mean we have to work with HIM?!' Ron exclaimed. 'C'mon, Ron! We have to find Hermione! I bet ya she's still somewhere in Hogwarts, we just have to look!' Ginny said. 'For once, she's right, Weasely,' Draco said.
'Oh god, I think I'm going to faint,' Ron said. 'C'mon! We have to find her!' Harry said getting up and walking to the door. 'We just have one problem,' Ginny said. 'What?' 'Madam Pomfrey. She wont let us … well, you guys, go,' Ginny said. 'Don't worry, I've learned a few things from Hermione,' Draco said grinning evilly.
