Chapter 10: desperately seeking Hermione

"Gone? What do you mean gone?"

"Well, I mean we searched the whole place and she isn't anywhere. We looked all over for her after you left to get you two together. You know, to apologize?"

"I bet it was Malfoy. He seems to fancy her all of a sudden."

"No, that's what we thought at first too but he was there, wondering where she had gone too."

Just then, Malfoy barged in." Where's Hermione? She was just beginning to fall for me and she got this look on her face as though she were in a trance. She started walking away. I called her name but she wouldn't answer. What have you done to her?" he grabbed Ron by the front of his dress robes. "I know you're jealous but you don't have to hurt her!"

"Hey!" yelled Harry. "We all have feelings for Hermione, all right, we have to save her and not let jealousy get in the way! Now let's all try to get along and save her."

"Fine. Normal behavior for you Potter, trying to run the show." Malfoy sneered.

"Malfoy, that's exactly what I'm talking about!"

"Harry's right. We should keep Hermione in mind and put aside our personal differences."

"Ooh, big words for you Weasel!"

"Look, Malfoy," Harry began. He was getting rather angry at his archenemy. "If you're going to act like this, we don't want your help!"

"Fine, I'll find Granger all by myself." And with that, Malfoy dashed off into the castle to look for Hermione, his expensive dress robes flowing behind him.

A/N: if you write me a review with an idea of what should happen next, I'd put your name in the disclaimer. Thank u and have a pleasant Fourth of July. (
