As I promised the game begins!
Dearest Ron, I'm terribly sorry to report that our mother has fallen ill and requests the attendance of all her children in her new quarters at St. Mungos. I'll pick you and Ginny up at eight. Sincerely Charlie
Ron nodded to himself and descended the spiral steps to inform his sibling. He reached the common room and spotted his sister among a group of girls giggling and talking.
"Ginny?" Ron tapped her on the shoulder.
She spun around, agitated. "What?" She demanded.
"We have to go."
"Ron, I'm kind of doing something here." She gestured to Hermione and the rest of the girls surrounding her.
Ron presented the note. Ginny snatched it and skimmed her eyes over it. Her expression changed gradually "As in dying ill?"
Ron shrugged. "All I know is that we have to get to the owlery and let Charlie know we're coming."
Ginny nodded "I'll talk to you later Hermione." With that she and Ron walked quickly from the common room and up the twisting stairs to the owlery.
Ginny immediately began shuffling through the multiple owls. "Okay Ron which owl goes to St. Mungos?"
"Uh, Ginny?"
"Not now Ron! Help me find the owl!"
"Ginny?"
"What?!" She whirled around to lay eyes on a huge water gun. She screamed as the icy water came in contact with her robes.
Ron swallowed, terrified of his sibling's reaction. "Gotcha."
Ginny turned furious eyes on her brother. "Ronald Weasley! I am going to rip your head off your shoulders!" She leapt at him and proceeded to chase him around the owlery, causing the owls a considerable about of stress.
Outside the oak door Draco pressed his ear against the wood, listening intently. He had been sent on an errand by Snape to owl a neighboring school. He had heard yelling and by the segments of conversation he could here he now had two less people to worry about.
Hermione came up the steps, she had been sent to find Ron after Harry requested to see her hairbrush. She saw Draco leaning against the door and walked up to him curiously. "What are you doing?"
"Shhhhh." Draco replied.
"Are you eavesdropping?" Hermione demanded.
"I'm only gathering information about our game." Draco defended.
Hermione shrugged "You don't need it."
Draco lifted himself from the door "Why?"
Hermione brought a water gun from her robes and stuck it in the boy's abdomen. Draco grasped the nozzle and pointed it upward despite Hermione's struggles. He looked her in the eye. "Hermione have you lost your mind?"
Hermione continued to flail against Draco's strength but eventually lost and gave up. "I'm not Hermione."
Draco raised an eyebrow "You have lost your mind, but apparently you drew me so I'll be on the look out love." With that he patted her head and vanished down the steps.
Hermione sighed as the owlery door opened. Ginny and Ron, both covered in feathers, emerged. "Hey Hermione." Ginny said tiredly.
Hermione rolled her eyes heavenward. "I'm not Hermione!"
Just then Hermione's body began to morph into Harry. "Harry!" Ron gasped.
Hermione walked down the corridor leading to the owlery. She passed Draco. "Hi Draco."
"Hey Hermione." Draco took three more steps before he froze. "Hermione?"
He saw her body disappear up the steps and ran after her. Harry dove into the owlery just as Hermione came up the steps. She stood precisely where Harry had just stood to speak with Ron as Draco tore up the stairs.
He stopped dead, everyone was where they were when he had left. He blinked in amazement. Hermione furrowed her brow "Draco? Are you okay?"
Draco nodded, turning slowly and returned to the hallway from whence he came.
Well lets hope this chapter gets more reviews than the last one.
