Chapter 6 – Run In With Snape By Darkness-Nightfall

Harry didn't think he felt up to going to Transfiguration, so instead he spent the day in his dormitory, thinking. He wasn't sure what had actually happened down in the Forbidden Forest anymore, everything seemed blurry when he tried to remember.

His eyelids closed reluctantly and he fell into a deep sleep, curled up on top of his bed, head under the pillow.

Down in Transfiguration, Professor McGonogal had arrived. She ushered the class in and stood at the front of the class, looking at the empty seat in between Ron and Hermione.

"Granger, Weasley, where is Mister Potter?" She asked, glancing at the two from below her glasses.

"Um, Professor, we don't exactly know." Said Hermione, her eyes on the ground. McGonogal looked at Ron alarmingly.

"Why don't you know where Mister Potter is? He is your friend!" She snapped quietly at the pair, who jumped at the sudden change of voice.

"Well I woke up this morning and he wasn't there." Stated Ron, who shoved his hands into the pockets of his robes and looked down at his shoes.

"Mister Weasley, will you please go and check your common room. I expect you to be back in no more then thirty seconds." She said sternly, and Hermione seated herself while Ron took off out the door and up the marble staircase to the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Password." Asked the Fat Lady Portrait, sighing. Ron had to stop and think before answering 'Devil's Snare.'

She swung open and Ron clambered into the common room. Finding it empty, he ran up the stairs to the boys Dormitories, and almost bashing the door down he found Harry asleep on the bed.

"Harry! Harry!" Ron shook him and Harry awoke, looking groggy.

"What Ron?" he asked, yawning and lifting his head off the bed and onto the pillow.

"You missed trans with McGonogal! She asked me to come find you! We have to go!" He said all this in one breath and Harry had trouble understanding it.

"N-not now Ron. Need to Sleep." He muttered, rolling over and pulling the blanket over him.

Ron looked positively exasperated. He grabbed Harry by the neck of his robes and pulled him hard onto the floor.

"Come on mate! We have to go!" he said, helping Harry up and leading him out the door. Harry followed, stumbling ad swaying.

"Have you been drinking Harry?" asked Ron, giving him a sideways glance.

"Not that I know of." Answered Harry, leaning heavily on Ron.

They made it out of the common room and down the stairs. Just as they turned the corner and were about to head down another flight of stairs, A large figure grabbed Ron's ear.

"What do you think you are doing out of class?" Asked a cold voice. Ron tried to squirm away but the figures grasp on his ear grew tighter.

"P-professor Snape, McGonogal asked me to come and get Harry, because he wasn't in class." Snape looked ready to grab more then Ron's ear.

"Very well then. I shall lead you both back to class, I know Gryffindors have a tendency to somehow, get Lost." He put the emphasis on the last word and pulled Ron along, who happened to be turning red.

Harry finally seemed to have woken up and could walk on his own accord. When the three of them got to McGonogal's door Snape left them.

Ron and Harry walked in, with McGonogal not looking very pleased.

"That was more then thirty seconds, Mister Weasley." She hissed, telling them to sit down.

Resuming the lesson, the three sat in silence, listening to the lecture that Professor McGonogal was giving- it was boring enough to rival that of Professor Binns.

Just before the bell rang, Professor McGonogal made an announcement.

"Now, the first Hogsmeade weekend is on this weekend. If you are going, you must go to the Great Hall after breakfast on Saturday morning. Class Dismissed."

Harry felt his stomach drop. He had forgotten about the Hogsmeade meeting with Voldemort. All of a Sudden, life just got worse.

A/N: Okay, this is my least favourite chapter so far, it sucks. Lol. I am ashamed. Anyways...
