The two girls ran through tunnel and climbed into the Gryffindor common
room.
Then Hermione ran through the school and out to the lake. She spotted Harry frozen a few metres away from them and Brooke.
She quickly hid behind a bush with Cho.
Dumbledore had obviously frozen Harry so they could get there. Hermione sighed relieved with the little breath she had and wheezed while catching her breath.
Fawkes flew through the sky and Cho put her arm out.
Fawkes landed delicately on her bare arm and Cho took the letter out of the phoenix's beak.
She passed the letter to Hermione before stroking Fawkes' glowing feathers.
Hermione quickly read the note and then Fawkes flew away.
"Hey what'd the note say?" asked Cho
"Go kiss Harry," said Hermione.
"What are you nuts? He's frozen like a statue," protested Cho.
"Just do it. It'll help Harry more than you think," said Hermione.
"OK." sighed Cho.
She walked out from behind the bush and towards the statue thing of Harry.
She kissed him like she had before and then backed away slowly.
She went back to bush and waited.
"Now what?" asked Cho.
"Just wait." said Hermione.
Harry soon unfroze and stood still. He put a finger to his lips. He then kept walking.
"Where's he going? I thought I was supposed to stop him," asked Cho.
"Don't panic. Dumbledore's got more tricks up his sleeve," said Hermione watching as Harry continued to walk.
Harry couldn't shake this feeling that he was being watched. His lips tingled with a kiss he couldn't remember. He wanted to walk to Brooke to free Ron but he kept thinking of Cho and what would happen to her if he did. Harry stopped for a minute to consider his options.
Hermione looked down at the paper and saw a spell that hadn't been there on the parchment before.
Cho was muttering a spell Hermione hadn't heard before and Cho's eyes began to glow.
Hermione took her hand and began to recite the spell.
A glow surrounded the two of them and Hermione began to talk to Harry in his head while Cho tried to pull him away with her eyes.
"What on earth?" asked Harry.
"Harry don't do it. You don't have to. Dumbledore will find a way to rescue Ron, but please don't do It.," pleaded Hermione.
"What about Cho?" asked Harry?
"She's here. She doesn't want you to either." said Hermione.
Harry didn't want to disobey but he didn't have much Choice.
"I'm sorry Hermione. I really am. I just have to do this." apologised Harry.
He began to walk and soon fought Cho's will.
Harry blew Cho a kiss over his shoulder before running towards where Brooke was sat with Ron.
"HARRY! WAIT!" protested Hermione.
She got to her feet.
"Come on Cho, let's go. We can still stop him," said Hermione taking a step after Harry.
"No, Hermione let's let him do It.," sighed Cho putting a hand on Hermione's arm.
"But Cho..." protested Hermione.
"Leave it herms. He'll be fine. I just know it." assured Cho.
Hermione smiled a weak smile.
