I JUST WANT TO WARN U THAT THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A FEW ANGSTY, CREEPY CHAPTERS! YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOCK UR DOORS AND WINDOWS BEFORE READING!!! j/k!!!

SnWfLaKeSwEeTy-Oh, yeah I know what u mean about the AOL users not working... I have the same problem sometimes. That's okay... thanks for reviewing now!

dREam ChiK-ooh! I'd better update fast in that case (this wasn't fast thought, was it???)! lol! Here it is!!! Thanks for reviewing! And yeah, I hate him, too... ur going to hate him even more in this chapter, though.

Athena-Thanks!

Jen Drake-Well, u'll find out about now... well, next chapter really, if you don't figure it out at the end of this. Thanks!

BraveSpiritGryffindor-Don't worry, Hermione won't die, either. I know... he's so mean!

nikki-Sry! I'm still trying not to make them so short, but yeah... they just turn out that way. And this one and a few after it are REALLY short, but I left them at cliffhangers and kind of a lot happens so... I just wanted to stop at a good part. Sorry! In a fanfic I'm working on (that's not on ff.net yet) the chapters are pretty long... longer than the ones I've been writing anyway. But it's not Draco/Hermione... only sorta, it's not really any ship.

lazy-Thank you!

animegirl-mika-I know... what a jerk! Whoever wrote this must be crazy! Sheesh! j/k! lol... thanks!

Lilie Blaze-Sure... As soon as the stories finished, I'll give you the annoying slytherin brat and you can go ahead and kill him... it might be a while, but I'm sure you won't have changed your mind by then! Heheh! I don't know... ask Hermione. No, seriously, I should've done that! I'm soo incredibly dumb, it's not even funny! Thanks!

JoeBob1379-Actually, something worse...

avri-Thanks!

maxzoid-oh, that's okay. I was just wondering, 'cause I didn't want to keep emailing people if they don't want to read it. Thanks for coming back to read more!)

Discoveries-24-The Note

As Hermione sat eating dinner in the great hall, she was surprised as a letter dropped onto her plate. She looked up quickly, but wasn't fast enough to see exactly WHICH owl brought it. She unrolled the parchment, and read it fast, fear growing in her eyes every second.

'Go To ThE FoRbIdDeN fOrEsT rIgHt NoW iF yOu EvEr WiSh To SeE hIm AgAiN.'

That's all it said, and there was no name. It wasn't even handwriting. It was just like those ransom notes. This worried Hermione. It could just be a joke, but it also could be real! What would she do? And who was it talking about? She scanned the room, but before seeing the whole room, her eyes jumped to the Slytherin table. No Draco... NO DRACO! Where the hell was he?!

'Oh, my god, Hermione! It's okay! It's not him that was mentioned in that letter! Or note, or whatever! It was all a sick joke from another Slytherin, probably! NO! It WAS! Draco is in NO DANGER, whatsoever! I don't need to worry about it!' She thought. But the more she said this, and tried to convince herself otherwise, the more she believed he WAS in trouble.

She rushed out of the great hall, and outside onto the grounds. It was awful outside. All grey and stormy, and rain beat down on her head, and body, and chilled her to the bone. Or maybe that was what she was thinking had happened to Draco.

Either way, she didn't feel all that well right now. But she had to do what the note said if she ever wanted to see Draco again.

She ran into the forest. Where did she have to go? It never said in the note. It just said, to go to the forbidden forest. Now she was panicking. If she never found them, they might think she didn't care, and wasn't coming. Then they'd kill him! Oh, no! She had to find him! She would search the whole forest and she'd FIND him!

She'd been running for what seemed like hours, days, weeks.... it wasn't pointless, but just extremely EXHAUSTING! She didn't know how much more she could take. She checked her watch. She couldn't read it. It was too dark, but she had her wand! She reached into her pocket, pulled it out, and muttered, "Lumos!" Instantly, a small light shot out the end of her wand. She held it over her watch and saw that she'd only been searching for ten minutes. She knew she wasn't anywhere near done, searching. She'd probably only covered one-tenth of the whole forest. And she knew she'd go crazy if she didn't find him soon. She NEEDED to find him. Just to see him and be in his arms again. Was she being silly? Was it really Draco they were talking about? It could've been Harry... or Ron... like that was any better! It had to be someone she loved or they wouldn't have bothered sending HER the note in the first place!

Hermione slowed down, and stood in one spot for a minute to catch her breath. While she did that she heard something in the bushes. What could it be? She snapped her head around, and frantically looked for any sign of something. She was about to scream, when finally she realized it was only Fang, the boarhound. But if Fang was out here, then where was Hagrid? She waited, and even called out his name a few times, but heard nothing. And Fang didn't seem too anxious, so he probably just escaped, and Hagrid was at the school, or in his hut. Or he could be looking for Fang.

"Well, you can just come with me, okay? I need you to help me find Draco. Can you do that?" she was sure Fang had no idea what she'd just said, but he still followed her around. And she felt safe with him there. Or at least more so than when she was alone. Afterall, Hagrid once said that Fang was a coward. Or a 'bloody coward' in his own words.

She just started walking again, when she saw something large up ahead, dangling from a tree. She couldn't tell what exactly it was, but as she came closer, an unmistakable horror filled her eyes.

(TFG: So? Cliffhanger, or what?! haha! I WONDER what it is? Guess! Go ahead, I bet you can't! But like I said, it doesn't have a sad ending, so think CAREFULLY about WHAT it is, and WHO the person that I said would die is going to be. *hint* *hint* REVIEW, please)
