I think I'll update one more time before I leave on my trip. Here's the reviews for last chap.

Romantic shade of blue: Thank you. I think is was my favorite chapter so far.

Launigsiae: Glad you liked it. As I said above, my fave chap so far. There's gonna be a good ending too. Trust me.

Ok well here's a recap of last chapter. Ron went to visit Hayley and Hermione went missing. Then Ron was all freaked out over it. Yeah. Ok well here we go. I better hurry before I change my mind

***Before the end of last chapter. Hermione's POV***

The hand moved from her shoulder to her mouth in a matter of seconds. The strong muscular arms pulled her behind a statue. "Hermione, shhhhh" came a wonderfully recognizable voice.

"George!" Hermione squealed her voice still muffled by his hand. He released her immediately.

"Hey Hermione," he smiled.

She flung her arms around him. "Oh George—"

A loud call cut her off. "Hermione!" She heard from the hallway.

"Oh!" she cried startled. "He must be so worried! I screamed so loud." She jumped up but George held her back.

"You have to stay here, Hermione. You're, um, not going back to school any time soon."

"What!" She shrieked then lowered her voice to a whisper, "Why?"

"Because you're in danger. Anyone who is seen anywhere near Harry is in danger. And now there's a girl at this school working for Voldemort."

"But, why can't we bring Ron?"

George looked uncomfortable. "Well, because, we're sort of, using him."

"But, but I don't understand."

George took a deep breath. "That girl he hangs out with, she's not as opposed to Malfoy or her Mother as you think. She's working for Voldemort, or more like, she's possessed by him. We're using Ron to get close to her so that we can, take her out. Is Neville still missing?" Hermione nodded solemnly. "She probably got him already. Mom and Luna's dad are getting her."

"Luna's dad? He's in the Order?" George nodded offhandedly and grabbed her hand. Let's go. We've got to get you outta here. And I am the best at sneaking my way out, if I do say so myself."

Hermione smiled at him. "Beaten at that talent only by your twin. Where is Fred?"

George's goofy grin widened, "Oh, he's at the shop. With Angelina of course." He gave Hermione a playful wink and she laughed.

"I don't think I'm going to miss school at all."

"For once," joked George.

Hermione elbowed him, "As long as Dumbledor is sure Ron and Harry are safe." George was silent. "They will be safe, won't they?"

George stopped, turned around, and kissed her softly. "You ask too many questions," he said pulling away.

***

Ron skipped breakfast the next morning. He lay in his bed all morning reading Romeo and Juliet cover to cover over and over again. McGonagal came in at lunch time.

"Really Mr. Weasly. This is ridiculous. I'm sure Miss Granger is perfectly all right. Will you kindly return to your classes?"

Ron rolled over to stare coldly at her. "How can you be so heartless!?" He rolled back over and continued reading.

McGonagal gave a loud sigh and left calling behind her, "You will be responsible for all you are missing Mr. Weasley." Ron ignored her.

Another owl flew in later that night. Ron opened the letter in a rush, praying it was from Hermione. It wasn't.

Ron, Where were you today? I missed you. My mom would be furious if she knew I was writing you but I can't help it. Oh Ron, come back to school. I'm sure Hermione is fine. I know it must feel like you've lost a sister, but I'm still here. You still love me, don't you, Ron? I still love you, Hayley

Ron crumpled up the letter and threw it in the trash near his bed. The owl cocked it's head. "No, I don't have a response!" Ron snapped. The owl, looking hurt, snapped it's beak and took off. Ron instantly regretted it. Maybe I should send Hermione's owl to find her? he thought.

Pulling on his robe he slipped out of the room and to the portrait hole unnoticed. Her hurriedly scribbled a note to Hermione.

Hemione, Where are you? What haooened? If you get this, I know you will, please, come back. We miss you. I miss you. Ron

He attached the note to Lupin and threw the owl out the window. "Don't come back without a reply!" he called after it. He followed the owl till it was out of sight.

There, wasn't that good. Ok well, I've got a great ending coming up that's gonna scream "SEQUAL!!!" So, guess what, this story's gonna have a sequal. YIPPEE! Until we meet again (soon hopefully)
