Hermione ran down the halls into Pr. Mcgonagoll's office and started looking for her frantically. No one was there; she was about to head for the door when she saw Pr. Mcgonagoll.

"Ms. Granger I'm sorry to say that we haven't found Mr. Weasly."

"I know where he is."

"Are you sure because last time you said you knew where he was he wasn't there."

"What are you talking about I never said anything?"

"Yes you did just now."

"That's impossible I just got out of that horrible room Ron locked me in."

"What? Then whom was I talking to earlier?"

"I don't know."

The Gryffindors were mortified when they saw Lavender at the door smiling crazily.

"I see your boyfriends came to your rescue."

"Lavender it's not too late to reconsider think about what you're doing. It's really-

"NO! Shut up, all of you!"

"What do you want from us now?" moaned Pavarti.

"We're going to have some fun," she said cheerfully before walking towards them smiling insanely.

"I think we'll have to reschedule the Ball."

"No I don't want to ruin everyone's special night because of Ron's stupid obsession over me, we'll have this ball."

"No we can't not with Ron out there on the loose."

"Don't worry I know where he is and he's fast asleep."

They both left heading for the room Ron lay sleeping in. they barged in to find Ron snoring loudly on the ground. They quickly bound him so he couldn't run away and dragged him to Pr. Dumbledore's office. Ron lay there snoring horribly.

"Well I suppose we can still have the dance then."

"Yes I suppose we can."

Hermione was walking happily to her dorm when she heard a sound coming from the closet. She listened more attentively then opened the closet door carefully. She heard Draco's voice. Her eyes widened in surprise and she quickly opened the door.

"Draco what are you doing in the broom closet?"

"Funny you should ask seeing as you pushed me in."

"What? That's impossible I just escaped Ron."

"What? But then who was with me earlier?"

"I don't know the same thing happened with Mcgonagoll."

"Maybe there's another you on the loose."

"You think?"

"Well whoever did turn into you is still in your form."

"Unless they didn't cast the polyjuice potion, think about it Draco they wouldn't stick around looking like me if they've finished their deed."

"Your right I suppose, so id the dance still on?"

"Yeah we caught Ron, I'm so glad I don't think I would be able to go on with him on the loose."

"Well um thanks for freeing me Granger."

Hermione almost forgot they weren't on first name basis anymore. She quickly regained her composure and nodded. She watched him stalk off down the hall as if nothing happened. She sighed and went to her dorm.

She got in to find Draco sitting on the couch reading. She walked past him and went to take a long bath.

After she was done she went to her room and put on a cream white dress. It was tight at the beginning then it became puffy. It was made out of soft suede and had a silk trimming. It was elegant but also a little sexy as if showed off her lovely figure and some cleavage. She put on a pearl necklace and earrings (a pearl than a little chain and a another pearl). She dried her curls and let them loose and just put in a beautiful sliver clip at the side. She slipped on white shoes (1 inch heel, strappy kind of shoes). She took her purse and put her makeup and wand in it.

She stepped out to find that Draco was already gone. She sighed and walked to the Grand Hall. She was still a little shaken up but she decided she wouldn't worry about her problems tonight. She never imagined her supposed best night would be ruined with these plaguing thoughts. She plastered on a fake smile and walked down to the Gryffingor common room.

She heard yells and shouts she quickened her pace. When she reached the entrance the fat lady seemed to be very grieved and was mumbling to herself. She pushed past the crowd of people but immediately stopped when she saw the sight in front of her. Pavarti, Lily, Dean, Seamus and Neville were all floating in mid air their heads hanging at their side and eyes opened. They all had a scared look on their faces. Hermione clapped her hand over her mouth and bit her bottom lip. She knew it was her fault. Ron must have done this she thought, but how? Or maybe it was his companion? She didn't know but she was going to get to the bottom of it.

She ran past the huddle of fellow Gryffindors and ran down the stairs to the main hall. Everyone was still partying and having fun. She scanned the hall for any teachers then she spotted Pr. Snape, even though she knew he wouldn't care he still had to do something.

"Professor Snape Pavarti, Lily, Dean, Seamus and Neville... they've been ...

"Ms Granger I don't know what you're talking about now leave me alone."

"But Professor!"

"I don't care go away."

Hermione stormed off. She had to go get a teacher, maybe someone else already has? She stood in a corner scanning the room for any sign of Harry, but no one was there. She waited a few minutes then left to go outside. She needed to get some fresh air.

She stepped out and let the cool breeze take all her worries away. She relaxed and started walking. She was walking when she heard some noise over by the lake. She set off to see what was going on. It was a person! Someone was in the lake drowning. She ran to see who it was. It was hard to see because of all the splashing and the tentacles. What? Tentacles, it was the monster in the lake. But it always seemed so friendly, it never hurt anyone before. She quickly ran towards the drowning victim. It was Draco! She quickly pulled out her wand and threw her purse on shore. Hermione then started saying a few spells to scare off the squid. The monster eventually left and let Draco sink. Hermione jumped in the lake and started swimming towards his body. He was sinking fast and it was hard to swim with her shoes. So she pulled off her shoes and held onto them with her left hand. She quickly grabbed his arm and started pulling him to shore.

She looked at him and tried pumping his chest but he was still unconscious. She then tried mouth-to-mouth precipitation. Nothing. She muttered a quick spell to dry herself off and put her shoe son then started running to the grand hall.

She was running to the building when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jerked her head around and saw it was Cho.

"Hello Hermione where's Harry? You know my boyfriend that you stole away from me?"

"Cho I don't have time for this I need to get help, Draco-

"Oh so you dumped Harry and moved on to Draco?"

"No he's in trouble-

"Don't tell me he forgot his condoms so you're going to fetch them for him? So you're his bitch now too?"

"Shut up! No he's in trouble I need to go get a teacher-

"What did you two shag so hard that he had a little accident?"

"Oh you're asking for it Chang," Hermione spat.

"What are you going to do steal my boyfriend? Oh never mind you already did that!" Cho yelled. She was a little wobbly and wasn't standing straight. Her voice was shaky, she was a mess. She seemed drunk.

"Cho are you all right?"

"I'm fine! What's it to you?" she said and then burst out laughing.

"Are you drunk?"

"No," she said hesitantly and then bust in to another fit of giggles.

"Cho come with me you need to get yourself cleaned up."

"No I don't! Leave me alone you whore!"

Hermione started coming towards her when Cho grabbed a bottle and started swinging it around. Hermione dodged her swings but started becoming a little worried. She decided she'd tell the teachers about Cho when she got there and started leaving when she was hit on the head hard.
