He looked around then continued walking towards the door. After he left Hermione waited 5 minutes just to be sure he was gone. She came out of her 'hiding place' and left to go change out of her pajamas and into black hip- huggers and a red tee shirt with a black hoodie and then left to see where the screams and yells came from. After looking all around the living room, kitchen, washroom and dining room she went to the last place on the first floor; the balcony. When she arrived there she found a bruised up Alaina lying on the ground. Hermione ran to her and quickly checked her pulse. She was still alive. She then picked her up and placed her on the couch. She was muttering a couple of healing spells when Alain stirred awake and started muttering something.

"Ginny, help Ginny," she rasped

"Ginny?"

"Balcony."

"What?"

"The balcony."

Before Hermione could say anymore Alaina closed her eyes again. Hermione went to the balcony and looked around but nothing was there. She was about to leave when she thought she'd look down just to make sure. When Hermione looked down she practically fell. She saw Ginny. It was hard to see but she could make out her faint outline and especially her flaming red hair. Hermione was panicking. Could she be dead? Is she dead because of me? She ran back to Alaina and zapped her to the infirmary by taking Alaina's wand and putting it in Alaina's hand and muttered the words. When Alaina disappeared Hermione walked outside and made sure that Ron was gone and ran to the teacher. She was running faster and faster until she reached Pr. McGonagoll's office.

"Professor Ron's back!"

"Miss Granger are you sure?"

"Yes, I saw him and so did Ginny. Ginny, right Ginny's hurt Professor. He pushed her off the balcony."

"What? O dear we have to tell Pr. Dumbledore. Do you know where Mr. Weasly is?"

"No."

"Alright then where did you last see him?"

"He was leaving my dormitory."

"Alright then you go to Ms Pomfrey and I'll go to Pr. Dumbledore."

"Alright."

Hermione left towards the infirmary. She was running in the halls past all the students saying 'sorry' every now and then when she made people drop their papers or if she stepped on someone's feet. When she arrived to the infirmary she saw Ms Pomfrey on the ground unconscious. Hermione knew Ron must have been here. She left towards Pr Dumbledore's office. On her way she bumped into Lavender.

"Hey Hermione where have you been?"

"No time to talk, Ms. Pomfrey is hurt and Ron's back."

"What!" Oh my gosh let me come with you and help."

"No I don't want you to get hurt, and I don't think there's anything you can do."

"I know a short cut to Pr. Dumbledore's office. Nobody's there so we can get there faster."

"Great, hurry let's go."

Lavender and Hermione quickly set off down the hall and to the left where they stopped at a painting of a young boy with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was smiling but in a forced kind of way. Lavender went up to the painting and kissed him on the cheek, the boy blushed but then swung open. Hermione could see a dark narrow passage.

"Well come on we don't have all day you know."

"Right let's go."

They both set off down the hallway. Hermione was a little nervous because she could hardly see anything in the dark and it was hard to run in the dark without tripping. She was running faster and faster when she heard something.

"Lavender was that you?"

No response came.

"Lavender? Are you there?"

Still no response came.

"Lavender are you okay? Where are you Laven-

But before she could finish her sentence a beam of red light hit her and she fell to the ground.

She woke up on a bed with white sheets in a plain room with white walls, a table and two chairs, a bed and cupboard. She got out of bed and started to head to the door when she felt two arms snake around her waist.

"Draco?"

"Guess again," the voice hissed playfully.

"Harry?"

"Getting warmer."

"Oh R-

Hermione quickly turned around and much to her distress it was Ron. She tried to slither out of his reach but he kept his arms firmly around her waist. She struggled more persistently as he started to move closer to him. She moaned and cried but he just kept getting closer with a satisfied look spread across his pale freckled face.

"Imperius!"

Hermione stopped wriggling and almost flew into his arms. But Ron still beckoned her to come closer. She struggled her hardest to resist but ended up falling in his arms.

"That's more like it, now come and give me a kiss."

"Never," she spat spitefully.

"Imperius!"

Hermione got up and seemed to be in a dilemma, moving towards him and back. She was trying to fight the Imperius curse but yet was bound to it. She once agin fell but this time on the ground.

Ron violently lifted her chin up with his hand and spat.

"Get up."

"I'd rather rot here than get up and kiss you," she spat bitterly and slapped his hand away.

Ron didn't seem to think much of this and aimed his wand at her but she quickly moved got up and headed to the door. She was struggling with the doorknob, obviously trying to open it and attempting to break down the door. Ron came sprinting at her. He began to choke her viciously. Hermione was turning red, at first she began to stop him but gave up when she was suffocating. She was turning from red to purple and soon fainted. He caught her and placed her on the bed. he sat there with a pillow in his hands starring at the bruises on her neck.

Meanwhile professor McGonagoll was looking sorrowfully at Ginny's body on the bed. She was apparently in a very serious coma. She still could remember Harry, Ron and Hermione as children, happy and joyful. Now Ron was out to kill Hermione and she didn't know where Harry was in all this. She took one more look at Ginny before heading off with the other teachers in search of Ron. But what worried her was that Hermione still hadn't come and that Ms Pomfrey the only trained nurse at Hogwarts was also ill. Both were in Mungdongo's hospital. She sighed and apparated outside of Hogwarts and walked to the actual castle herself.

"Draco was getting worried about Hermione, Pr. McGonagoll said that she would be back soon unless Ron got to her. He got up from the couch in the Common room and left. On his way he met Lavender. Hermione and her were really close so he thought thatshe might know where Hermione is.

"Lavender have you seen Hermione?"

"No haven't seen her at all today."

"Oh okay well thanks, if you see her tell her I'm looking for her."

"All right."

Lavender watched Draco stalk off. A wide grin spread across her face. She quickly walked to her common room and changed out of her black sweater and jean skirt and into a red tee shirt and black hip huggers and black hoodie. She got her wand and muttered a spell and her hair turned from sleek blond to curly blond then she mumbled another spell and her hair turned brown. She smiled at her reflection, but there was still her face. They didn't look anything alike. She had a long oval face and blue eyes she needed to have a square shaped face and brown eyes. She couldn't make a Polly juice potion now because she didn't have the time. She needed a transfiguration spell. She summoned a book and looked through the pages she put the book down and ripped out a page and left. She quickly put her robes over her clothes and put her hood up.

Pavar came into the room and saw the book and came up to it. It had a broken chain on it and it was opened. She looked down and read what it said.

The transformation charm

The transformation charm can transform one being into another for a certain amount of time. It much resembles the Polly juice potion except that the transformation charm lets the person under it lets him share some of the same thoughts and feelings as the original person.

She looked at the other page but it was another spell. Then she saw the rip down the book and figured out that a page was ripped from it. She looked at the front cover and it read Useful Spells and Charms for Transfiguration. She put the book down and bit her lip chewing on it slowly then headed up stairs. She went up to Lily and dragged her out of the room.

"Lily I think Lavender's doing it again."

"You don't mean."

"Yeah, but I don't know who she's after."

"Let's go to Belle she was Grace's sister or what about Venus her cousin?"

"Oh I do feel sorry for them they were all so close and they looked like triplets."

"Yeah with their dark brown hair and green eyes. Grace was a pretty nice girl shame."

"This time I'm not going to make the same mistake."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes she's stolen another restricted spell book and she's been acting strange lately, never hanging out with me anymore always with Her-

"It's her she going after her. Let's go warn her before it's too-

"Hello Pavarti, Lily."

"Hi Lavender," they replied in a union.

"Who are you going to warn?"

"No one."

"Don't play dumb with me I know you've caught onto me."

"Why Lavender Hermione's a nice girl."

"So was Grace but that didn't stop me."

"You kept it a secret last time so I assume you're doing the same again, right?"

"Lavender we can't keep our mouths shut whilst you go hurting innocent people."

"Sure you can, Fallero!"

Their mouths were shut tight and their hands would only write the opposite of what they wanted.

"Bye girls."

Lavender took the book and left. She was at the library when someone placed a hand on her shoulder.
