A/N: Just a reminder I do not own Hogwarts, Hermione, or anything referring to anything that J.K. Rowlings has wrote. Its said really I don't think I really even own anything...you know how parents always say something like "Everything under this roof is mine!" Well not those words in particular but you know wear I was going with this right? Anyways back to my story...

Chapter Four:

Now What?

That morning was spent eating and talking with Dobby the house elf. He had found out about her being in the wing and volunteered to bring up the tray. He had also brought her two socks, not a pair, but two socks. He made them himself he told her. One was purple with red and green books stitched on them. The other one in blue had the letters S.P.E.W. on them in bright yellow. Also on that sock were what looked to be weird smiley faces, but a look close and one could see that they were house elves stitched in an olive color. She thanked him kindly and he left with a POP! back to the kitchens.

Days went by with tests after test, but nothing seemed to be wrong with her. Well, something was wrong she was now in a lot of pain continuing to get worse as days went by. They just couldn't seem to find what ever was aling her. Some of the other teachers were now helping with the tests after classes were through for the day. Even Professor Snape was in helping. Harry was still not back but he wasn't suppose to be back until November which was now only two weeks away. Ron was in everyday. Now bringing books and his homework. She had offered to help him with his because she couldn't do hers. They even tried to give her something for the pain, the only thing that helped with that was sleep, but she wasn't 'going to sleep her life way' she told them.

The week before November came all the pain stopped, she was fine. This puzzled everyone. Snape got angry and stomped off saying something like "growing pains" the other teachers that had heard this comment could only agree. (Well they were half-right)

So two days later after the pain had stopped Madam Pomfrey told Hermione it was okay for her to go back to school. Ron was there too and she told him to keep a watchful eye on Hermione just in case.

"It's a Saturday too. Just my luck to get out on a Saturday." She said thinking about schoolwork.

Ron just gave a small laugh and they headed for the common room.

"So, do you believe them when they say it was nothing but growing pains?" Ron asked as they were both looking out a window in the common room at the kids playing outside.

"I don't think it could be but who am I to argue with a Healer and at least half of the teachers? I still keep trying to think of what I did in the days before it started to hurt. But I can't really remember because I think when I fell some of my memory disappeared."

"You think you lost some of your memory?"

" Well it as probably just short term and nothing really big you need to remember." She rolled her eyes at him.

"Other then the fact that I need to remember, to see what's wrong with me."

"What WAS wrong with you don't you mean?"

"No, Ron I do mean what IS wrong with me, I don't think it's gone, this is just me in the eye of the storm. Calm now but what's going to happen next? Something big, I just know it."

"So you really don't believe what Madam Pomfrey and the other said do you?" He repeated the earlier question.

"No. Ron you were with me in the days before anything happen, weren't you?" Ron shook his head yes. "Was there anything different going on in those days? I mean before you found me?" Hermione asked.

"Let me think." Ron said pondering.

"Oh! My! Gosh! Yes there was!"

"What? What was it?"

"Okay, the day you and I were laughing about what we had to make in potions. Remember? You had to go work with Neville and then something happened to his potion and we all had to leave the room."

"But Ron everybody would be going through the same thing as me, if that was the case."

"No, you're wrong." He said pointing his finger at her, "You were the last one out of the room, that could make a difference."

She looked at him and he looked at her and they both ran out room ask quickly as they could.
