CHAPTER 7
AS TOLD BY RON
"HAGRID!" HERMIONE BREATHED, I FELT HER BEGINNING to shake again. I don't care what Hermione said in the past chapter, when she saw Hagrid she was down right petrified, and so was I. Now, grown men aren't suppose to admit this, but I was scared.
I put my finger up to my mouth, "Shh."
What do we do? Hermione mouthed.
I don't know. I mouthed back and then pulled Hermione further into a different direction of the tunnel so I could talk to her.
"Hermione, we've got to think this thing through," I told her.
"OK, well, back to my original question here, what do we do?" Hermione asked back.
"I'm thinking... Wait I've got it. Hermione, I need you to swear you'll do as I tell you. You've got to promise that you'll listen to me, and just do as I say without question," I told her.
As I said this, I realized just how terrified Hermione was. Her lower lip began to quiver, and so she bit down on it and as she did, tears began running down her face.
"No. I'm not taking your orders, because I know what your orders are. You're going to run in there and get yourself killed, giving me some stupid job, like being a look out. I know you. I'm not gunna let you do that, Ron. No way, no how," she told me.
"Hermione, let me run you through my plan," I acted as if I hadn't heard her, and I tried to ignore the desperate look on her face. "Hermione, I think that man is Voldemort. So there's two parts to my plan. One person, is going to go in and try and hold off Voldemort. I even have a plan for that. Creep up behind and use stupidify. But there's more to my plan. The person who knocks out Voldemort, has to attach him to a magical stretcher, and take him to the captain. We've got to get him out of here, except we can't perform Avada or anything. The second person, is going to tackle the monster, and that's the hard job, because we don't know how to beat this thing. So, Hermione, which job do you want?"
Hermione looked at me, some more tears ran down her face. "I don't like your plan. I don't like the idea of us splitting up. You know in all of those horror films, oh, never mind, you don't know what horror films are. But, in any case, never split up. This is the point I'm trying to stress here."
But it was too late, I was already half way down the tunnel, ready to take on the more dangerous job, the monster.

"THAT RETARD, LEAVING ME HERE IN THE tunnel. Deep breaths, go save Hagrid," I told myself, whispering out loud, running down each of the little passageways, trying to find my way, when I heard a yell again, but this yell was different, it was Ron's.
(A/N I made this chapter very short on purpose. The reason- because it seemed to me that there needed to be a little mini cliff-hanger at this chapter. However, I really could have combined 8 and 9 together, I just didn't feel it would have that dramatic crap that a story needs. So anyway, sorry for the short chapter, but click that little button and go read chapter 9!)
