            "Have any of you seen 'Mione?" Ron puffed, out of breath. He and Harry have been running around searching for her all day. She missed the last two classes of the day and Dinner.

            "Hermione Granger? No, why?" The confused Hufflepuffs answered, finishing their desserts.

            "Check the girls dormitories again?" Harry suggested.

            "Ginny has checked five times!" Ron exclaimed in his frustration.

            "All the classrooms? With Dumbledore? All the Professors don't know?!" Harry started to hyperventilate.

            "We should go tell McGonagall, we have searched everywhere!"

            "Ron, Harry! None of the Ravenclaws have seen her and asking the Slytherins would just be stupid." Ginny reported, running up.

            "Did anyone care to ask me?" A cackling voice cracked behind them. The three of them turned around and looked up, already know who they would find floating there.

            "Hullo Peeves." They groaned in unison.

            "You sickly little students didn't bother asking ole Peeves if he knew where she went?" he said, flipping upside down, pretending to be hurt by their unwillingness to ask his help.

            "Do you know where Hermione is Peeves?" Ginny ask, putting on a fake smile with sweet tone in her voice.

            "Now why should I tell you? You were being mean to me…" He whined, annoyingly.

            "Peeves, please, tell us if you know where Hermione is." Harry said to keep Ron from exploding.

            "Only if you apolog-" Peeves started, but was interrupted by Ron.

            "Apologize?! For what?! We did nothing to you and you know it! We simply asked if you knew where she was! If you know, then tell us! If you don't, then just leave!" Ron yelled, making every last head left in the Great Hall to turn and stare at them.

            "What is going on here?!" Professor McGonagall approached them, hearing the argument from the corridor.

            "Noooooooothing Professor Mac-gonny-gal" Peeves replied, faking an innocent tone while mocking her and twirling delightfully.

            "Don't make me get the Bloody Baron over here Peeves, you know what will happen if I have to disturb him." McGonagall threatened.

This made Peeves stop twirling, float upright and reply, "These icklings asked me if I saw their friend and when I was answering he yelled at me." He pointed at Ron.

"You weren't answering! You were avoiding the question to be annoying!" Ron retaliated.

"That is enough! Have you seen.. Ms. Granger I am guessing?" She asked Peeves as well as Harry, Ron and Ginny. After the three nodded their answer, she turned towards Peeves.

"Well? Have you seen Ms. Granger anywhere?"

"Nope!" He pronounced proudly and zoomed away laughing hysterically like a dying hyena.

"He could have said so in the first place then!" Ron said angrily.

"Well it's no use getting upset about it, it is Peeves anyway. What can you expect?" Harry tried to calm him.

"Why is it you are searching for Ms. Granger?" McGonagall asked.

"Hermione has disappeared Professor." Harry explained and told her of the incident at the library.

"Oh my.." She said looking worried.
