A/N: This was my first fanfic EVER. I wrote this about two years ago, WAAAAY before OOTP, so there are a lot of things that won't fit in with canon. My writing was horrible, and I switched back and forth between plot lines...but I still think this is a pretty darn good story. However, it is the only thing I have EVER completed in all the fanfics I've ever tried to write...so I thought I'd just post it online...It is a love triangle sort of thing...Hermione likes Harry, Ron, and there's some Draco in there too...so if you don't like this...then don't read it... Well, enjoy my REALLY old fanfic...
Chapter Eleven - Anonymous Message
Harry, and the rest of the former Gryffindor Quidditch team, as well as Ron, Neville, and even Lavender and Parvati made their way down to the Great Hall to catch a quick bite to eat. Ron, Neville, Lavender, and Parvati were all trying out to become the new Gryffindor Keeper since Oliver had graduated.
"Ok, first I'm going to let everyone try out for Keeper first." Harry began his first speech since he had become captain. "When we have our new Keeper, then we'll begin our practice...alright team?" Everyone nodded in agreement.
First up was Neville. "This is going to be a joke!" Lavender teased, opening up a new edition of the most popular magazine in the Muggle world.
"Oh I know! What's the point of him even being here?!" Parvati laughed, opening a bottle of glittery pink nail polish to paint her fingernails.
"Even though Neville isn't that talented, you still shouldn't treat him like that..." Ron retorted.
"Oh what do you know?" Parvati looked up and glared at him.
"Yeah, shut up Ron!" Lavender said without looking up.
"Why do you read that anyways?" Ron asked. "It's a Muggle magazine...how stupid."
Lavender looked up at Ron. "Do you want a present?"
"Uh....sure?" Ron replied uncertainly.
Lavender smiled and flicked him off. "Enjoy."
Ron returned the smile. "I'll definitely enjoy it if it's with you."
"Oh god..." Lavender rolled her eyes.
"Fuck you." Parvati scowled.
"Yes! three-some!" Ron joked.
"Ok you three, cut the crap." Harry interrupted. "Neville, come on, get on your broom, show me what you got."
So for the next hour Harry and the rest of the team watched everyone try out.
"I've talked it over with the rest of the team, and I've based my decision on talent, skill, determination, and enthusiasm." Harry said. "I believe that the person I have chosen will be a great addition to the team and will help us greatly to win the Cup this year. Gryffindor's new Keeper is..."
At that moment Professor McGonagall came running out onto the field. "Mr. Potter! Mr. Potter!" She kept yelling.
"What is it Professor?" Harry asked when she got to them.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Potter but you all must get inside the castle immediately." She looked very worried.
"But why?" Parvati asked.
"This is very serious Miss Patil." McGonagall frowned. "Someone sent a Hogwarts Owl to Dumbledore with an anonymous message. They said that they know for certain that someone is going to come to Hogwarts and attack someone else. They didn't say who or when, but we are going to play it safe and make sure that everyone is accounted for. Please, get up to the Common Room." McGonagall stayed around while everyone gathered their belongings quickly and then escorted the group back to the Gryffindor Common Room. No one uttered a word while they made their way back to the castle.
"Ron..." Harry said suddenly.
"What?" Ron replied.
"No...I just was saying...the new Gryffindor Keeper is you, Ron."
"Really?" Ron asked, a big grin appearing across his face.
"Yep."
"Thanks, Harry."
"No...don't thank me, you deserve it more than anyone."
Lavender and Parvati were outraged and gave Ron and Harry the silent treatment.
When they finally got back up to the Common Room, McGonagall stopped Ron and Harry from going inside, but let everyone else in.
"I wanted to talk to you to alone...about two things." She said soberly. "Did you know about Miss Granger?"
"What about her?" Harry asked quickly.
"She is in the Hospital Wing."
Harry looked over at Ron who had been speechless since Harry had told Ron that he was Keeper.
"You were in the Hospital Wing last night, why didn't you tell me she was in there?" Harry inquired angrily.
"I didn't see her! It's the truth!" Ron responded truthfully.
"She slit her wrist..." McGonagall interrupted.
"What?!" Harry and Ron exclaimed at the same time.
McGonagall put up her finger to silence them. "Was she suicidal in any way?"
"No..." Ron replied.
"Not that we know of..." Harry said.
"Alright well, if you would wait inside the Common Room, I will retrieve her and bring her back." McGonagall said and Harry and Ron began walking inside the Portrait Hole.
"Wait...you need to know this as well..." McGonagall said.
"Yes...?" Harry turned around.
"Ginny Weasley is missing."
Ron turned around at this.
"She's been missing since last night..." She nodded over to Ron and lowered her voice.
"The last time anyone saw her was when she left the Hospital Wing last night...but as you know Ron, she left about ten minutes before you did...so something had to of happened within those ten minutes before you left Ron..."
"But..." Harry began.
"Don't worry, we have people out looking for here as we speak. We'll find her...I hope..." McGonagall assured them and left.
Harry and Ron made their way inside and sat down in their usual spots by the fireplace. There were two people missing, both Hermione and Ginny. They usually sat with Harry and Ron as well.
"I wonder what happened to Ginny..." Ron asked.
"She'll be fine...I know it..." Harry replied.
"I sure hope so..."
There was an awkward pause.
"Don't say anything to Hermione about her wrist," Harry said quietly. "It might upset her..."
Ron was staring out into space thinking, and he just nodded...
........
Draco had experienced a nightmare the night before. He dreamed that he was at his mansion, he was home. He was sitting in his bedroom writing a letter to Hermione, the love of his life. Then his father, Lucius had burst into his room. He was lecturing Draco about school and other such nonsense. Then he saw the letter on Draco's desk. Lucius read the letter and then turned to Draco.
"Draco...is this a love letter?" He asked maliciously. Draco refused to answer.
"I don't want my son to be associating with people like her. People who are filthy like her. People who are unworthy like her..." Lucius spat. "If you ever fall in love with a girl like that, she will die. I guarantee it. Her blood will drip onto your skin, and turn it green. If that happens, I will hunt you and the girl down. Am I clear, Draco?"
"Crystal..."
That's when Draco woke up from his nightmare and suddenly realized what exactly has begun. His father hadn't really threatened him like that, it was just a nightmare. Draco looked down at his arm, it was its normal color again...but he was frightened, knowing that his father is going to hunt him down and Hermione as well.
"He can't do anything to me...he can't kill Hermione...it was just a stupid dream, that's all. Draco muttered aloud. But a little voice inside his head made itself heard..."But Dumbledore knows..." So that morning, Draco had sent the anonymous message to Dumbledore. Draco was scared for his life...and Hermione's...
