Karana Belle: I hope you all don't hate me now because I haven't updated in awhile! Reviewers:

Padfoot—I will fix that Harry problem in this chapter for you. I promise!

Harry/Hermione & Ron/Hermione fan—wow, what a mouthful! I'm not exactly sure if I will have Ron kiss Hermione be the spell, but I'll think on it, I still have awhile yet!

In love with redheads—yeah it is kind of how Ron reacted in Chamber of Secrets. Like I said above I wasn't really going to have anything like 'true loves first kiss' but I'll think about it! I promise! And Hermione did the curse on herself because she made a mistake, she wanted to make sure that she said it right and she forgot that saying the spell out loud can make it happen. Plus she didn't read the whole summary/writing thing the book had in it! It was really her fault.

Lainie xox—thank you and I am really sorry that I didn't update sooner!

'Dead' Hermione

Chapter Three

After telling Ron to calm down about the whole revenge thing Harry suddenly sat still. The events of what happened today finally deciding to sink in. Ron, noticing that Harry was just sitting there, and quite pale, waved a hand in front of his friend's face.

No reaction. So Ron sighed, rather loudly too, "I guess Harry is too shocked over Hermione being cursed." He muttered to himself before he noticed too, for the second time today, that Hermione wasn't here to help them with this problem.

So there they sat, both too shocked to do anything. They didn't even bother to eat anything offered to them by their fellow 6th years.

"Poor guys, they can't even get out of their mood enough to talk." Seamus was sitting on a couch directly across from the two shocked boys.

Neville was quite shaken himself, but no one paid him heed for he was always like that. Too bad no one even tried to see what was wrong with him, because they could have gotten some valuable information concerning how Hermione was cursed. After all it wasn't his fault that he fell asleep in the library and couldn't get out once the doors were locked.

It was then, after he had woken up, that he saw the gate to the Restricted Section open, but he could see no one opening it. So having been in the DA for a year he got up enough courage to go and see whom it was. After all the Death Eaters were still at large, still doing harm to anyone they came across.

But what had surprised Neville was whom he actually saw. He saw Hermione in the Restricted Section; her wand pointed to a book, and seeing the book fly open to rest on a page. Watching to see what would happen he saw her fall forward, but after looking around could see no one around who could have done a spell.

He did study the book for a long while, reading the page that it was open to and after a while thinking that maybe Hermione had done it to herself. Then realizing what he had thought Neville had started to walk away but collapsed on one of the couches in the Library. He had fainted once again.

Finally coming out of his thoughts he saw Seamus eating the food that they had brought for Harry and Ron. Shrugging Neville grabbed some of the food too and sighed. He just noticed that if they didn't get out of their little moment of shock before midnight someone would have to take them up to the dorm.

'Why is it always me?' the famous trademark of Neville Longbottom.

Karana Belle: Okay I know this one was short but I couldn't think of anything else to add and it sounded like a good stopping place. REVIEW PLEASE! BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO! I WILL STILL UPDATE WHEN I CAN!
