Story of a Girl
Chapter 3
Hermione stared at Ron and felt like she was going to throw up. "Harry's..Harry's missing?"
Ron looked very worried. "My dad says people in the Ministry are looking for him," he said.
Hermione didn't think that was a good idea because she remembered what had happened last year. Cornelius Fudge hadn't believed Harry when he had told him about Voldemort and Cedric Diggory. "Maybe they're not looking for him as hard as they could be," she said.
"What do you mean?" Lavender asked.
Hermione tried not to frown at her because she had forgotten Lavender was there. She really thought the other girl was nice, but she knew that she would talk about this to everybody.
Before she could tell Lavender to go away, Parvati grabbed her friend's arm. "Ron and Hermione need to talk," she said and winked at Hermione while she led Lavender away. "I hope they find Harry!" she yelled before Hermione lost sight of her. She was very surprised that Parvati was trying to help her and Ron. Maybe she wasn't as much as an airhead as Lavender.
"What do we do?" Ron asked. "Should we talk to Dumbledore?"
"We can't talk to Dumbledore until we're at Hogwarts and we can't be at Hogwarts unless we take the train," Hermione said. She grabbed his arm and led him to the train. It was easy to take charge because it meant she didn't have to think. She didn't want to think too hard right now.
She felt so bad. Harry had been in big trouble last night and she had been worrying about Hogwarts, A History and her new sundress...What kind of friend was she? Harry had needed her and she wasn't there.
"We'll find him," Ron said and hugged her. Hermione hugged him back because she was trying not to cry.
A lot of the other students came to talk to Hermione and Ron while they were on the train. Parvati came back and said that she and her sister Padma could help because Padma was one of the smartest girls in their year after Hermione. Neville Longbottom visited too, and so did Ron's brothers and sister. Hermione was glad to see all of them. They made her feel a little better.
The next visitors they had made her want to hit something. It was Draco Malfoy and his two giant friends Crabbe and Goyle. They were even taller than Ron.
"What's the matter," Draco said while Hermione and Ron stood up and Ron reached for his wand. "Is Potty missing? Are you looking for your boyfriend, Granger?"
"He's not my boyfriend!" Hermione yelled and looked for her wand too. "I'm a prefect so you had better get out of here!"
Ron had his wand out. "I'll hex you," he said. He looked very angry.
Draco didn't look scared. "You're out-numbered," he said.
Ron started to say a spell, but someone else said one first. Goyle got hit with a Jelly-Legs curse. When he fell down, Hermione could see who had cast the spell. It was Padma Patil and Parvati was standing right behind her.
"You're outnumbered," Padma said to Draco. Draco just glared at her and he and Crabbe dragged Goyle away.
Parvati smiled at Hermione. "I told you my sister was the smartest witch after you."
Ron looked at the two sisters. "What do you two want?" he asked suspiciously.
"We're going to help you find Harry," Padma said. "Our father's an Auror so he will be able to help and this way you aren't outnumbered if Malfoy decides to try something else." She smiled at Ron who turned very red.
Hermione didn't know what to say. She hadn't known that the Patils had an Auror as a father, but she didn't know them very well. "Ron and I are going to talk to Dumbledore," she said.
"We won't come with you," Padma said. "You and Ron are Harry's friends, not us."
"Just let us know when you need our help," Parvati said.
Hermione nodded and sat down next to Crookshanks. She didn't know if she trusted the twins yet and she didn't think Ron did either, but Padma was right about one thing. Now they weren't outnumbered and that was better than nothing.
