*Okay guys, are you ready for the funeral, there maybe some weird things happening! Can you find out what's going on? Or what has happened to Ron! Or maybe how he died!*


Hermione woke the next morning to find herself in a room full of Ron's belongings: like Scrabber's cage; Ron's broken wand from his Second year; the Triwizard Cup which Harry had given Ron when he became an Aurora; and Ron's best game of chess board that he got in his Second year. (The rest of his belongings were in boxes.) Hermione looked at the dresser next to her and saw her wand sitting on it. As she was looking around the rest of the room she saw Harry sitting in a chair watching her every move.

 "Feel better Hermione?" Harry asked with care.

"Yeah," Hermione said stretching her arms. "What time is it?" She asked yawing.

"11:00, you slepted very late!"

"What Happened to Draco?" Hermione asked warily.

"He got away, he apparated!" Harry answered. "And all that time Cho was muttering; like-

"Like she was talking to someone!" Hermione said cutting Harry off.

"Yes, how did you know?" Harry asked looking a little scared.

"I"… Hermione paused; she knew if she told Harry what Cho told her, he wouldn't believe her, just as he did before! Hermione thought to herself … "I caught on quick, that's all!" Hermione answered quickly.

"Ah." Said Harry nodding his head with a smile.

Hermione tried to sit up, but as she did swift pain went through the wound on her stomach; she grunted continuously, until she sat back down.

Harry then came over to Hermione and started to bandage her wound.

"What happened to Wormtail?" asked Hermione softly because of the pain.

"I cast a spell on him… he's going to be your servant for a while." Said Harry with a smile on his face.

Hermione looked up at Harry and smiled.

"Remember Hermione, Ron's Funeral is today…will you be able to go?"

"Of course I will it's Ron's Funeral we're talking about; of course!"
  "Are you sure you want to go, will you be able?" Harry asked again.

"Yes Harry, Yes. I'm sure I want to!" Answered Hermione angrily.

"Okay, okay! I get what you're telling me!" Harry said warily.

"Thank you!" Hermione said pleasantly.

"Do you need someone to help you get dressed? I can get Cho if you need her!"

"NO! Ah no that's okay! I can dress myself!" said Hermione quickly. "What time is the Funeral?"

" 2:00. So if you need any help just call; and Cho or I will come and help you, alright!"

"Okay." Answered Hermione with an unhappy tone.

Harry then left the room, and shut the door quietly.

Soon after Harry left the room Hermione got up very slowly, pulled the covers off and stepped out of bed. As Hermione was looking in the dresser for something to wear, the door creaked open and Hermione turned around… Cho stood in the door with her arms crossed and a wand in her hand. Hermione, with her full attention on the wand, turned toward Cho shaking her head in confusion, walking backward until she hit the dresser behind her. "No!" Hermione said faintly.

 Cho walked up to Hermione and said: "You may have screwed up my plan to kill you… but you will not be able to stop me now!"

Then Hermione remembered that her wand was behind her she turned quickly and grabbed it; then she held it straight in front of her and aimed it at Cho's heart.

Cho laughed and shook her head and said: "You can barely stand, do you expect me to believe that you can kill me!" Cho began to laugh even harder.

Hermione nostrils flared; her grip on the wand became even tighter. Hermione then nodded her head.

"Wormtail!" Cho yelled. Soon enough Wormtail was next to Cho bowing and kissing her feet.

 "Now Hermione Granger I have someone to frame! Wormtail won't even know what he did, well what I did!" said Cho laughing to herself.

All Hermione could do was stand there and wait for the pain to go through her body! But before Hermione could even use a block, Cho waved her wand and said: "Crucio"

Hermione fell to the floor her wand still tightly in her hand. Hermione shook back and forth, she started to twitch horribly and curled up in to a tiny ball. Cho kept her wand steady and Hermione started to shudder and jerk more violently!

Suddenly Harry walked into the room. Cho quickly gave Wormtail the wand, acted as if she was trying to get it from him and then pretended as if she was thrown to the other side of him.

Harry ran over to Wormtail ripped the tightly gripped wand from his hands knocking Wormtail to the ground. Cho then started to mutter something, Wormtail suddenly opened his eyes. The spell placed on him had been broken.

Harry waved the wand and said: "Reducio" Hermione turned back into her normal form. Harry bent down to pick her up but Hermione was determined to get up herself.

"I can get up myself!" Hermione said to Cho as she walked over to them.

"All right." Said Cho looking at Hermione, grinding her teeth.

            At 2:00 they walked up the hill next to Harry's house and came across a candy wrapper, which was a Portkey. A crackling noise came from the wrapper then a tiny object came out of the candy wrapper. Suddenly it slowly rose up and became a normal size man. He was very tall and shaggy, his hair ran down to his cheeks and his beard was as long as Hagrid's.

"Hello, may we get to Hogwarts, Arthur?"

"Well of course you may Harry, but why do you need to go Hogwarts?"

"We are going to Ron's funeral at Hogwarts." Harry answered.

"Oh Ron…God rest his soul, I remember when he first came to me for work once, because he was so late, but that was then, so hear ya'll go… Hogwarts it is!"

A cloud of green smoke came and a loud crackling noise… then they soon appeared in the aisle of the funeral home. Hermione gradually walked up the aisle and as she got up to the front of the walkway she knelt down beside the casket and began to cry.

"If only you could come back Ron, then everything would be fine and we could show Harry that Cho is not to be trusted!" Hermione arose from her position, her eyes shut and tears overriding others. She opened her eyes and let her tears of sadness fall down with no use or will to stop them. Then Hermione noticed out of her watery eyes that Ron had blondish whitish hair. The real Ron had red hair. Then she noticed that Ron's face started to bubble up.

 "Harry, Harry come quickly!" yelled Hermione strongly.

Harry came running "What, what is it?"

"Ron's face and hair it's not his!"

Harry looked at Ron as Hermione was watching Cho. "There is nothing wrong with him Hermione you must have been hallucinating."

"But Harry-

"Look yourself." Said Harry.

Hermione looked into the casket. Harry was right, Ron was in his usual form.

Cho then came up and pushed Hermione out of the way. Hermione tried to see what Cho was doing but too many people got in her way. Hermione saw Cho giving Ron something but she couldn't figure out what it was!

Will Hermione ever figure out what Cho did or if that is really Ron?

Will Harry see through Cho and believe Hermione?

Was Hermione really hallucinating? Find out in the next Chapter!!!!!
