Is this chapter long enough? I can never tell, but I've had some
suggestions to make them longer. Let me know!

Hermione slashed through the trees outlining the forest and accidentally ran into Pansy. Both girls screamed before recognizing each other. Hermione gripped the other woman's hand. "Are you alright? Is anyone following you?"
Pansy stood and caught her breath. "No, I was just trying to find somebody to help me, Lavender's been captured."
"Take me to her." Hermione ordered and they both shot off.
Crabbe wandered the forest, ambling along with his head thrust upward, yelling. "Ms. Chang! Ms. Chang!"
Cho shook her head from a bush nearby. "Men are so stupid."
Suddenly the bush in front of her was pushed aside to reveal the face of Ron. He grinned "Hello Cho."
"Hello." She replied before realizing who she was speaking with. Once reality hit her it was too late to run. Ron caught her waist and pulled her arms across her chest, much like a straight jacket before dragging her to twin oak trees.
He bound each wrist to a tree and stood in front of her. Cho looked up and began to whistle. "So, Don, how's your family?" She asked.
Ron furrowed his brow "Fine. And it's Ron."
"Oh, right, right. Any new Quidditch odds you got." Cho continued.
Ron turned around "I don't gamble, thank you."
"Well, at least I'm trying to make conversation, you're just standing there."
"That's my job." Ron replied.
"Oh excuses, excuses." Sighed Cho. "It doesn't matter anyway, I'll get out eventually, but if you let me go I'll be nice to you."
"No, I don't think so, I don't you can get out anyway." Ron smiled and returned to his post.
20 minutes later
"You know I tried being nice, asked about your family, offered to let you set me free, but no, you have to do what you're told." Grumbled Cho as she finished tying Ron's second wrist to the left oak.
Cho sighed "But I guess it's too late now." Cho patted Ron on the head "Buh- bye." With that she scampered off.
Hermione and Pansy crept to the bamboo cage that contained Lavender. Hermione peeped through the bars "Pst, Lavender."
Lavender looked up at her saviors "I knew you'd come!"
Hermione pressed her index finger to her lips "Shh, where are the keys?"
"On Harry's belt," Lavender gestured to Harry who was standing alert a few yards off.
Hermione elbowed Pansy "Go distract Harry, I'll get the keys."
Pansy nodded and slunk towards the boy. She jumped from behind him and snatched the keys from his belt, throwing them to Hermione as she sped off, Harry in hot pursuit.
Hermione ran to the door of the cage, but just as she'd reached her goal she heard a deep voice float through the cool air "Not so fast."
She whirled around to meet Draco's steel gaze. Shock overwhelmed Hermione's brain before she decided to run.
She threw the keys to Lavender and sprinted in the opposite direction of Pansy. Lavender unlocked her prison and tip-toed from the cage, but before she could reach the cover of the trees a heavy form hit her, pinning her to the ground.
It was Seamus "Going somewhere?" He asked.
"Yes." Without thought Lavender tilted her head up and kissed Seamus. While he was thus distracted she pushed him from her and bolted.
Seamus snapped his fingers disappointedly before taking off after her.
Hermione stopped at one end of a tiny clearing to catch her breath. Draco appeared at the opposite side. He smiled when he'd noted her position.
"Come on Hermione, give it up, I've won." Draco took a long stride toward her.
She took a step back "Haven't we had this conversation before? I won't give up."
Draco voice grew silky, persuasive "Why do this, I know you're tired, come to me and rest."
Hermione shook her head "No!" She covered her ears "You're trying to wear me down! Stop it!" He chuckled, shrugging "I'm just trying to win." He defended.
Suddenly a gigantic lion leapt in between them, it's hungry eyes on Hermione. She paled visibly as the cat licked it's lips.
"Hermione, get behind me." Draco whispered to her.
She shook her head.
"This isn't a game anymore, get over here." Draco's tone became fiercer.
The cat began to pace between the two. Suddenly Hermione dashed to Draco as the cat pounced at the place she had previously been standing.
Draco locked his fingers around the female's fragile wrist. He then turned to the overgrown feline. "Kitty Reverso," He stated.
The carnivore suddenly began to contort. It's fur rippling into skin and it's spine twisting to stand erect. Hermione squinted at the new form before her.
"Neville?!" Hermione cried incredulously,
Neville smiled "Yeah."
Hermione turned her furious eyes on Draco "What are you playing at anyway?" She demanded.
Draco laughed "I turned Longbottom into a lion to frighten you into my grasp "He held up her captive hand "It worked."
Fire sprang to her chocolate eyes as they rested on Draco's. "I hate you."
"No you don't." With that he dragged her to her awaiting cage.
