(Just as I finished chapter five I worked on chapter six!) ~BlondeNeko
"Are yeh sure 'bout that?" Hagrid asked as Hermione and Ron sat in Hagrid's hut enjoying some tea. Hermione suggested to Ron that they should talk to Hagrid about Harry's actions, and Hagrid might know something that will help them. Ron was doubtful, but after ten minutes of arguing, Ron gave up and followed Hermione's plan.
"Positive! I think someone is putting Harry under a spell or something." Hermione said taking a sip of her tea.
Ron drummed his fingers on the wooden table.
"Who'd want to put Harry under a spell?" Hagrid asked rows rise.
"I dunno," Hermione said feeling ashamed. She was sure that Harry was
under a spell, but she hasn't given any thought of who was doing it. "But, must be someone who can produce fireballs-"
"Come on Hermione you should-"
"-maybe some demon," Hermione said ignoring Ron. "But do demons really exist I mean-"
"-I really think Harry is just going through something. Hermione you're making such a big deal-"
"-If they do exist then it must be that. Hagrid do demons control people?"
Ron sighed in frustration. She wasn't listening to a word he was saying.
"Hmm?" Hagrid asked as Hermione stared at him. He was so confused on what they were talking about, that he had no idea how to answer Hermione's question.
"Do demons exist?"
"Why o'course they do. Nasty thing's I'll tell ya."
Hermione beamed. "Do they control people?"
Hagrid nodded. "Sure. They get people to follow 'em, usually to either get revenge o' anything they want."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the three of them exchanged glances.
"Hermione, Ron, Hagrid?" Harry's voice asked, from behind the door.
Quickly, Hermione stood up and walked quickly to the door. She opened it just enough to put her face out. "Hi Harry!" She said cheerfully.
"Hermione can I come in?" Harry asked. He couldn't find them all day, and they both seemed to be keeping their distance from him.
"Well," Hermione said turning around. She then looked from Hagrid to Ron, both shook their heads, they needed more time to talk. "Sorry Harry. We're putting together your birthday present!"
Harry raised a brow. "It's November. My birthday is in July."
Hermione faked a smile. "Well because it's really cool! Needs some time!"
"But-"
Harry was cut off because Hermione had shut the door in his face. Sighing, she made her way back to Hagrid and Ron. "He's suspecting something."
"I would too if people were staying away from me, and closing the door in my face."
Harry knocked again.
"Let me try to get rid of him." Ron said getting off his seat, and opened the door, the same amount that Hermione opened it as.
"Ron? You're in here too?"
Ron nodded. "Yes Harry. I care about your birthday too."
"Come on. You're up to something. I want to be a part of it too."
"No."
Harry looked taken back.
"I mean, no! You can't see your present!"
"You're not getting my present ready. Seriously."
"I'm sorry Harry." Ron said as he shut the door in his face, just like Hermione. Quietly, Ron went back to his seat.
Harry knocked again, harder.
"Harry's angry." Hermione said as she looked to Ron.
"Come on," Hagrid said walking over to the door and swinging it open. "Hello there Harry!"
"Hagrid!" Hermione hissed as Harry stepped inside the hut and glanced from Ron to Hermione.
"Yeah, you're really working on my present." Harry said coldly.
"Well, Hermione put an invisible spell on it!"
"Oh forget it Ron. Harry, we aren't working on your present. We were discussing this." Hermione said pulling out the note and walked over to Harry handing it to him.
"Did you take this from my book?" Harry asked snatching the note from Hermione.
"Yes, we did. What does this mean Harry? That you're being controlled by a demon?"
"What?" Harry asked.
"See Hermione! It's not true! Probably some spell a seventh year taught Harry."
"Yes, how did you know Ron? Very smart." Harry said lying.
Hermione flushed. "Are you telling me this is all wrong?"
Harry nodded. "Kevin showed me it. He's like a Fred and George."
"Argh!" Hermione yelled throwing her hands up into the air and stormed off out of the hut, and outside.
"Better follow," Ron said sighing as he turned to Hagrid. "Later Hagrid!"
"Bye! Come back!"
Ron and Harry both waved and walked outside, and caught up to Hermione.
"Hermione it was a good idea." Ron said eyeing her.
She crossed her arms over her chest as she continued to walk.
"Thanks though for lying to me." Harry said, as he looked straight ahead.
Hermione stopped and grabbed Harry's arm. "Lying, are you serious? I was trying to figure out what was wrong with you!"
Ron spun around when he noticed they weren't walking with him anymore, and looked from Hermione to Harry.
"Nothing is wrong! That's what you keep thinking!"
Hermione shot Ron a glare. She wanted to have time alone with Harry at a moment like this.
"Alright, I'm going!" Ron said as he turned around and headed towards Hogwarts.
"Harry, Kevin didn't teach you that." Hermione said sure of herself.
"She's right." Mark had appeared right behind Harry, grinning.
Harry spun around and looked at Mark in surprised. "Not a good time to appear!" Harry said quietly.
Hermione put her hands over her mouth before she could scream. Mark grinned and put his hand out and grabbed her arm. "Don't be afraid Hermione."
"How do you know my name?" She asked freeing herself from his grasp.
"I only keep track of the girls I have an interest in."
Hermione's eyes widen.
"Yes Hermione. I like you."
"Get away from me!" Hermione yelled pulling out her wand from her robe.
"Don't be afraid-"
"-Demon! You're a demon! You want to make me join your side!" Hermione screamed interrupting him.
"Let go of the student!" Dumbledore's voice yelled as Mark looked over at Dumbledore and grinned. Then, Mark quickly looked back at Hermione.
"Bye, love." And with that he disappeared just before Dumbeldore could cast a spell.
"Potter, Granger get over here!"
Both Harry and Hermione walked over to Dumbledore.
"Are you two okay?" Dumbledore asked as he scanned over the two of them.
"Dumbledore was that-a demon?" Hermione asked, her voice shaky.
"I'm not sure. But thanks to Ginny, I was able to save you before something happened. She told me that something evil was happening so I came as quickly as I could to find you Harry."
Both nodded.
"Now, go back inside. From there will decide what to do."
And with that, Hermione and Harry walked forward towards Hogwarts,
Dumbledore following.
