HOGWARTS:
Becky woke late the next morning. She looked over to the bed where Tara slept, but she wasn't there. Guessing that she went to breakfast already, Becky climbed out of bed and got dressed. As she walked through the common room, she noticed the note that Tara left for her, sitting on a chair.
"Becky, don't worry, I'll be back soon. I'm going out into Middle Earth and I'm goin' ta have me an adventure!! Have fun. Slytherins Rawk! T-Chan"
Becky wasn't sure what to make of the note, but she was sure that Tara wasn't stupid enough to run off in the night into a place she hardly knew anything about. She paced the common room, trying to think of another explanation, but could not.
"I know!!" she announced to nobody. "It was the Gryffindors. They're always trying to see what they can do to us Slytherins. I'll bet that the Potter boy was in on it too. Ohhhhhh, I'll get him!" She raced out of the common room and down to the Great Hall where everyone was having breakfast.
Harry was walking by himself toward the Gryffindor table, and there was some sort of commotion going on up by the teacher's table. Becky ran across the hall and pulled Harry to the ground with a flying tackle before starting to yell at him.
"Listen you little creep! What did you do with her? Where's Tara? Come on, I know you're hiding her, spit it out Potter!"
Harry looked up at her as though she were insane. The older boy hadn't even pretended to fight back, but lay on his back in the middle of the Great Hall with a crazy girl on top of him screaming. Needless to say, he was a bit confused.
"Get off of me!" Harry yelled back, climbing to his feet. "Now, what are you talking about? I haven't seen Tara since Thursday when she was practicing Quidditch with us. If I was going to kidnap a Slytherin, I wouldn't have taken someone who is here on Dumbledore's invitation. I would have taken your slimy brother Draco. Which isn't a half bad idea."
"Don't you lie to me, you Gryffindor scum!" Becky replied, this time in an evil whisper. "I know you have Tara, and you'll be in trouble when I find out where she is."
Just then, Professor Snape walked up behind Harry. He looked down his nose at both of them, then smiled (if you could call it that) at Becky Malfoy before sneering at Potter.
"Is there a problem here Ms. Malfoy, Mr. Potter?"
Harry shook his head, in a resolute way. Becky glared at him.
"Yes, there is professor. You see, it's Tara, she's gone. There was a note in the common room, but it said she left in the night to go to Middle Earth. She's not that stupid. I think that Potter kidnapped her."
"Really? Well for your sake Mr. Potter, you had better hope that Ms. Malfoy is mistaken, or you will be in detention for the rest of your life. Good day Potter. Come Becky, show me this note."
Harry looked on in awe as the two swept out of the Great Hall, unmistakably heading for the Slytherin common room. Ron and Hermione walked up to him from where they had watched the scene.
"What was that all about?" Hermione asked, looking after Becky as if she were insane.
"Yeah, you didn't do anything last night except play wizard's chess with me, make up some stuff for Divination, and sleep. It wasn't even as if we went to the kitchens or anything. For once we were in bed." Ron added. "Some people's nerve."
Becky walked back into the Great Hall for lunch. Taking her seat next to Draco, she asked him about the note.
"Let's just say, that Tara has been known to do a few crazy things before. I'll tell Sam that she left, and he'll keep his eyes out for her. Don't worry, she really can take care of her self from what I hear. And Sam can take care of anyone in Middle Earth."
As they made their way toward their potions class, Becky spotted the three bratty Gryffindors coming off the stairs.
"Have any of you seen Tara at all today?" She asked. Harry was almost fooled into believing that she was honestly asking their opinion. They answered anyhow.
"Listen, Becky, I don't think that any of us have been able to find her because she isn't here," Hermione said. "I wasn't sure, but I think I saw her leaving last night around one or two in the morning in a black cloak."
Ron and Harry looked at her in surprise, and Becky just glared.
"And how would you know miss-smarty-pants?" she spat.
Hermione shrugged. "My room looks over the front of the grounds. I saw someone leave, and I didn't think anything of it. I guess it was your Slytherin friend."
Becky pulled Draco aside.
"What if she really did leave Hogwarts, Draco? What if she gets hurt? What if she needs us? Sam can take care of her in Middle Earth, but what about all the way it takes to get there."
"Look Becky, I don't know what's going to happen, but Tara's a big girl. She can take care of herself. The only thing you can do is keep your head down and don't cause any unnecessary problems."
Becky gave Harry a last piercing look as she swept into Snape's dungeon.
Snape looked around and took role. Tara was almost always in the Slytherin's Potions class, but she wasn't today. After they got started with the potion they were making today, Snape slid up to Becky.
"So where is your dear friend this fine afternoon? She always comes to potions with you to practice her art."
"I don't know Professor," Becky confessed. "She left a note, and I believe that she actually left last night. I can't find her anywhere."
"I see." Snape said shortly, and swept swiftly out of the room.
