CHAP 5: Petrificus Totalus!
Ron and Hermione walked out of the common room on Saturday, and went down to breakfast, still talking about possible ways Voldemort could enter, and ways they could prevent him from getting through. "We could always blow him to smithereens!" Ron joked. "And how would we do that? He's the second most powerful wizard in the world besides Dumbledore!" Hermione said. " I dunno, just a suggestion." Ron chuckled as Hermione playfully hit his shoulder. "You know, I love you're ideas.true, they ARE stupid.but that's what makes you.well. YOU." Hermione said, grabbing his hand. "My suggestions ARE great, aren't they?! And I of course love your ideas.probably only because I love YOU, but still, I love your ideas!" Hermione hit his shoulder playfully once more. "We seriously need to find out if Malfoy really is going to give it to you- know-who." Hermione said, not bothering to let go of his hand. "We could always use the Polyjuice Potion again." Ron suggested. "Well.yes.but we'd only have an hour, and that probably wouldn't give us enough time, and also, it takes a whole month, and it's probably not worth it." Hermione answered. Ron shrugged. "You're right. This could take forever, though!" "Yes, it could, but it's for Harry's safety, AND everybody else's." "Yeah, you're right.again." Ron teased. "HaHa." Hermione said to him as she rolled her eyes. He kissed her hand and they continued walking.
The week went by, and neither Ron nor Hermione found anything out.

"Gin! Have you seen Harry?" Ron asked the next Friday night. "Um.yes. He went with Neville to the Great Hall. I'm on my way right now. Why?" She answered. "Just wondering, I haven't seen him for a few hours." Ron answered. "RON! GINNY!Hurry! Come quickly!" It was Hermione. Ron turned and saw her. Her face was pale, yet with a bit of pink from her running, and she had tears streaming down her face. "What? Hermione.what happened? Are you okay?" Ron asked, hugging her quickly. Ginny looked very nervous. "I-I'm fine.come quickly.I'll show you." She answered. They ran, Hermione leading him. "In the great h-hall!" Hermione said. "Oh no.no..." Ron thought.. There was a great huddle around a spot on the floor. Ron held his breath. He saw Neville, his face white with horror and shock. 'Oh gods.please let Harry be here!' Ron thought to himself. "Damn it, Harry! You BETTER be ok." Ron said aloud. They ran toward the huddle. Ron went white. "Shit!" Hermione let out a loud sob. Ginny backed up to make sure she was really seeing this. It was Harry. There we was, wide eyed and stiff. He was petrified. "MALFOY! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!" Ron said furiously. "R-Ron.we d-don't know for sure that it was Malfoy." Hermione said, putting her arm around Ginny, who was completely white, and stiff. She was speechless. "It's pretty obvious.. isn't it?" Ron said, bending down to look at Harry. "W-why would anybody d-do such a thing?" Ginny finally spoke. "I.I'm really not sure, Ginny." Hermione said.
