***

"It's stuck!" shouted Ron.

"It's probably locked," said Hermione. She pulled out he wand and shouted, "Alohomora!"

The door burst open and the two kids gasped.

***

"Can it be them?" Harry wondered after the voices had counted to three and the door shook a little. Though, he thought he heard some whispers.

Harry moved closer to the key hole and heard a girl shout "Alohomora!" He knew for sure who it was; even before the door burst open to reveal Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely.

"Harry!" Ron shouted.

"Harry, where are you?" cried Hermione.

Harry wanted to say he was there but he couldn't; he was so happy that they had found him.

"What is going on?" demanded a very evil voice. Hermione and Ron whirled around and found themselves face to face with Voldemort.

"Where is.?" started Ron but was cut off by Hermione when she kicked him.

"Um, we tripped and fell down this tunnel," Hermione lied. "It was unlocked."

"What?" Voldemort glided out of the room.

"Wow, he's gullible and stupid," Hermione whispered to herself.

"Harry!" Ron shouted as he started to look around the room.

"Oh, Harry!" Hermione cried. "Where are you?"

"I'm over here!" Harry shouted, but he knew they couldn't hear him since he was locked in the metal cabinet and there were on the other side of the room.

"Hermione, did you hear something?" Ron suddenly asked.

"What? Where did it come from?" Hermione cried.

"Relax! It was coming from that metal thing over - uh oh!" Voldemort had just entered the room.

"Now that it's locked again, I will deal with you!" Voldemort slowly raised his wand.

"Nooo!" Ron cried. He quickly ran over to where Voldemort stood. He raised his fist and started to fight him.

"Ron, no!" Hermione ran over to him and tried to hold him back, but he was too quick. "Why do you have to be so stupid? You know he's going to win!"

Ron ignored her. "You....shouldn't.....of......taken...Harry...Potter!" Ron shouted between punches.

As Hermione watched the argument, she slowly crept over to the metal cabinet. When she saw that it was locked, she carefully pulled out her wand.

"Alohomora!" she whispered. The metal cabinet flew open. She cried out in joy when it was fully open.

Oh, Harry! We did it! We found you!" Hermione cried quietly. She looked over her shoulder to make sure Voldemort hadn't heard her, but he was still kicking Ron. She guessed that they had both forgotten about their wands.

Harry stepped out of the cabinet. He hadn't stayed in the cabinet for the whole eight months, Voldemort had occasionally let him come out and walk around the room.

"Hermione! Thanks for getting me out of here," Harry smiled at his friend.

"Do you have your wand?" Hermione asked.

"Voldemort threw it in the Forbidden Forest," Harry explained.

"C'mon!" Hermione grabbed Harry's thin arm and they ran into the marble hall without Ron or Voldemort noticing.

"Are we just going to leave Ron in there?" Harry asked. "I mean, Voldemort could kill him!"

"Well, I know," Hermione said. "But we'll all die if we go in there and get him. I really hope he survives." Harry nodded sadly.

"Well, how are we going to get out of here?" Harry asked.

"Uh," Hermione suddenly had an idea. She pulled out her wand and shouted, "Accio Harry's Firebolt!"

They waited for about a minute for the beautiful broom to come soaring towards them. Harry hopped on and Hermione climbed up behind him and held on tightly to the handle.

"Ready?" Harry asked. Hermione slowly nodded.

Harry kicked off the ground and soared into the tunnel and to the beautiful night sky.

They landed safely and jumped off the broom. Harry searched for a moment until he found his wand.

"There is is!" gasped Harry as he ran over to where a long stick lay; his wand.

"We should get out of here and get to Dumbledore!" Hermione suggested quickly.

Together they ran out of the forest.

"Made it!" Harry panted. "Let's stop at Hagrid's!"

"You know, everybody is going to be really surprised to see you," said Hermione.

"Yeah, I know," Harry said.

When the reached Hagrid's hut, they practically knocked down his front door.

"Hagrid! Open up! Please! It's and emergency!" Hermione shouted along with Harry.

"I'm coning!" yelled Hagrid's voice. The old wooden door flew open. The half-giant that was on the other side gasped.

"Harry?" cried Hagrid. "Harry!" He pulled the teen into a big bear hug.

"Where were you! Everybody thought you were...."

"Hagrid!" Hermione cut him off. "We need to talk to Dumbledore now!"

"Why?" questioned Hagrid.

"We'll explain later. C'mon," said Harry. The three of they ran to Hogwarts.

Harry made it first. He opened the huge oak doors and ran in. He quickly made his to the entrance of Dumbledore's office.

"Um, lemon drop?" he asked the stone gargoyle that was guarding the door. He needed the password.

"It's Starburst!" shouted Hagrid as he and Hermione caught up with him.

"Starburst!" Harry quickly said. The door burst open to reveal a moving staircase.

"C'mon!" Harry hopped on with Hermione and Hagrid following him.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Open up, QUICK!" the three of them shouted in unison.

Professor Albus Dumbledore grabbed the door and opened it. He almost fainted at the sight he saw. Hermione was jumping up and down with her arm positioned to knock again. Then there was Hagrid, who had his hands on his hips. When he saw the boy with the now longer messy black hair and glasses he demanded, "What happened?"

Hagrid, Harry and Hermione started to explain everything at once. Then, Hermione remembered something.

"Professor Dumbledore," she said quietly. "Ron might be dead."

***

"Oh, Molly, it's been eight months. Harry must be dead! We'll never find him!" shouted Ron's father, Arthur Weasely.

"But Arthur, he's the boy-who-lived!" sobbed Molly Weasely, Ron's mother.

"It Harry could of escaped, he would have done that eight months ago. Everybody has to die sometime."

"But...." Molly started, but she suddenly started to cry harder. It had been like this everyday for the past eight months.

"I know," Arthur pulled Molly in a caring hug.

"Maybe Ron or Hermione will find him!" exclaimed Molly.

"They'll be expelled of they do that, you know that!"

"Not if they find him!" Molly smiled.

"But for now, that's impossible." Arthur said sadly.

***

"Where is Ron Weasely?" demanded Dumbldore.

"Well, he's in the Forbidden Forest," said Harry.

"What?" Dumbledore turned to Hermione. "What were you doing in there?"

"We were looking for Harry!" Hermione cried. She then explained what had happened.

"C'mon!" Dumbledore said. "Like you said, Ron might be dead."

They quickly ran out of Hogwarts unnoticed.

"This way!" Harry shouted. They all followed him and in about two minutes, they reached the opening of the tunnel.

"Wow!" Hagrid and Dumbledore said together as Hermione opened the lock to reveal the valuable dirt tunnel.

"How do we get in?" asked Hagrid.

"Well, you slide though," said Hermione. "Hagrid, you'll probably have to stay out here."

"Okay, I'll warn you if anybody unwelcome is coming," Hagrid suggested.

"Well, who wants to go first?" asked Harry.

"I could" said Dumbledore. He very carefully sat down and slid through.

"I'll go next," said Harry. He did the same as Dumbledore.

"Bye, Hagrid," said Hermione as she followed Harry and Dumbledore down the tunnel.

Five minutes later, the trio landed and were looking around.

"I hate you, you, @#%$$&* &%$!@# **&%$#@!!!!!!!!!!!!!" came a weak voice through the door.

"Over here!" shouted Hermione. She quickly opened the door to reveal a horrible sight.

Ron's now still form lay on the floor, covered in thick cuts and huge bruises.

"Ron!" cried Hermione as she ran over to him. "He's still breathing, I think!"

"Ron, wake up! C'mon!" Harry shouted as he ran over to his best friend.

"Harry, look out behind you!" Hermione shrieked suddenly.

But it was too late. Voldemort and slowly raised his wand and was seconds away from shouting the killing curse.

"Avada Kedevra!" Voldemort shouted as a thinn, limp figure fell to the ground, not breathing and not moving.

Time is short

And bodies are weak

But everybody

Spends time together

This time is sweet,

But short

But happy

And beautiful

And fresh

And new

We must appreciate this time

Because when it's gone

We can never get it back
