Harry and Ron walked hurriedly along the charms corridor. People from the portraits dotted along the wall looked at the two boys and tutted, muttering something about young children always running everywhere.
'Harry we've looked everywhere!' Exclaimed Ron. 'I know Hermione is independent and everything but she wouldn't just disappear for this long.'
Harry was beginning to feel slightly nervous, something wasn't right. His scar was throbbing, it had been for the last day, Harry rubbed it trying to ease the pain.
'I know mate' said Harry. 'Hermione has never gone this long without nagging us about homework.'
Harry and Ron both started to think, they wouldn't have liked to admit it but they were secretly worried about Hermione. They were coming to the end of the corridor when Ron spoke.
'Maybe we should tell Dumbledore?' Suggested Ron.
'Dumbledore isn't here Ron, dunno of you noticed!' Harry couldn't help being sarcastic.
'No, but Hedwig would be able to find him, wouldn't she?' Stated Ron.
Harry thought, Hedwig had always managed to find people in the past, however whatever Dumbledore was doing must be important otherwise he would stayed at Hogwarts. If whatever Dumbledore was doing was important he wouldn't want to be found and people had been know to follow post owls.
'No, but I think we should tell someone.' Said Harry. 'Professor McGonagall.'
Ron nodded. Something was up and it needed to be sorted the sooner the better. Both boys started to run towards the Professor's office.

'We were meant to be together?' Asked Hermione puzzled.
Tom grasped her hand more tightly and gazed deeply into her chocolate eyes.
'Yes.' Tom said. He had to think of something to tell her quickly, he couldn't tell her about the prophecy otherwise she would know he was just using her. 'It is written in the stars'.
Hermione stared at him. Written in the stars, what utter tosh! However he was probably just trying to be romantic, so she let it slide.
'So, Hermione' started Tom. 'I know you forgive but are you ready to love me?'
Hermione's heart beat roughly against her ribs, she was losing control of her head again, she couldn't control her feelings.
'Tom, I…..'

Anyone standing outside the Hogwarts main doors would have been blown aside by a mysterious wind which was both purple and hairy. It sped up the grounds, blowing away anything that was in its path, and through the great oak doors which just flew open as the wind came near.
All the teachers and staff had sent the pupils to their common rooms and had left their prefects and the house ghosts to guard them. Downstairs in the main hall all the staff and two boys, one with dark hair and shocking green eyes the other with flaming red hair, stood in a line near the front doors waiting for something.
The great oak doors flew open and professor McGonagall stepped forward to great whatever it was.
'Professor Dumbledore?' She asked the purple and hairy wind.
'Aye, 'n' Hagrid if 'ya dun't mind' said a Scottish accent.
Two men stepped out of the wind, the same two men that had earlier been in the unbearable heat of the dessert.
'Professor McGonagall, there is no time to waste' said Professor Dumbledore. 'We must search everywhere, it is important that we stop it.'
'Find who and stop what' leered Argus Filch.
Dumbledore whipped round to face him, it was clear that he was furious although not at Filch but at something or someone else.
'You must search the castle for Miss Hermione Granger' he instructed. 'It is important that you find her and bring her straight to me. You do not need to know why, but I will however tell you when the time is right. Harry and Ron I will need to speak to you quickly, please follow me and the rest of you start searching!'
The teachers all sped off in different directions some to the left some to the right, some upstairs and some down.
Harry and Ron walked quickly after Professor Dumbledore and followed him into a small unused classroom off the hall.
'Boys.' started Professor Dumbledore. 'As you know Hermione is missing. What you don't know is that Lord Voldemort has her.'
The reaction was immediate, Ron fell over a chair with fright and a worried look passed across Harry's face which was soon replaced with a look of anger.
Harry opened his mouth ready to speak but Dumbledore cut him off.
'18 years ago there was a prophecy made. It stated that Lord Voldemort would only ever achieve endless power and immortality if a muggle born witch with extraordinary powers feel in love with him. The prophecy states that if this happened Lord Voldemort would be able to defeat all his enemies and gain control of the world. However Lord Voldemort did not take head of this prophecy and lost his powers when he tried to carry out a different prophecy, but he realised his mistake later. In order for Lord Voldemort to carry out the second prophecy he needed to complete the first prophecy.'
'And Hermione…?' Asked Harry.
'Hermione is the one he needs' said Professor Dumbledore.
Harry and Ron remained silent.
'I must find her' said Professor Dumbledore. 'Please go to your common room where it is safe'.
Dumbledore swept out of the room. Harry looked at Ron's pale face.
'Come on' he said.
'Let's go find Hermione' said Ron.
The two boys strode out of the door shoulder to shoulder, they were they famous trio, nothing or nobody would hurt any of them without facing the other two.

Nothing stirred in the courtyard. Twenty men and women held their breath and waited, waiting for the girl to come who would aid their master in destroying the world.
Their faces were hidden in black hoods and were focused to the cobbled floor beneath them. Waiting.
Waiting for the prophecy to be completed.
Waiting for the final piece.
