Chapter 16:

On Professors Gertrude's orders the new person had been following Harry and Hermione for the last couple days. It had been a little hard because the two of them didn't seem to hang around as much as they use to. He was mostly following Harry just because he is the one Lord Voldemort wants. Thought he would follow Hermione, just to see if she learns anything else from Luna.

"Lord would like that the trio seems to have broken up' he thinks 'let's hope that Wesley stays unconscious till after the master finishes with that "Potter". He giggles at this; the Lord would love to have Potter gone so that he could cause havoc again.

He stops dead in his tracks as Neville longbottom rushes around the corner and almost bumps into him. Holding his breath to see if this kid notices anything, but Neville just continues down the hall. As he looks back the way he was going he notices that he lost Harry,

"Oh man where did that kid go now?" He asks himself before continuing down the hall looking for Harry. Instead of finding Harry he comes across Hermione sitting in the Library. "What do we have here? Miss Granger crying?" He thinks before walking up behind her.

Hermione sits in the library with books around her, just like normal so no one would disturb her. One book was open on her lap and instead of reading it; there was a picture of Ron laying in it. A tear rolls down her cheek and onto the picture, she quickly wipes it away. "Why did I have to get him that robe, I thought I was doing him a favor but' she sighs' I guess not. Just trying to be a good friend

But it's my fault his hurt." Harry's words start echoing in her head.

"It's not your fault Hermione. It's hers!' he said hinting at Gertrude. 'You mustn't blame yourself." Harry stated. "I know, but..." Hermione began as Harry cut her off.

"No, it's not your fault." He said again.

"Right!" she said.

"No it's not my fault. Gertrude did this! She's trying to get Harry to meet up with Lord Voldemort.

Lucius gives a small laugh, that only he can hear, "The Lord is going to get Mister Potter, Miss Granger, even if it's the last thing I do."

Lucius left the crying Hermione in the library and headed to Greta Gertrude. He walked into her class when the door opened as Neville walked in. He headed up to her desk and said, "I'll be waiting by you're office door. I have to talk with you." He whispered.

"Alright class. You finish reading you're text on Wharewolves, and I'll be bright back." She said as she headed to where Lucius was. She opened the door and he walked in first, with her trailing behind. The fourth years looked at her strangely.

Lucius pulled off his invisibility cloak and began to say how Granger knew all about her. And that she must have got it from Potter.

"We have to act now Gertrude. Tonight, if possible. We have to kill Potter, it's our only chance."

"But what about Granger? She's knows too. Can we kill her too?"

"No, not yet. First Potter, then we'll deal with the know-it-all."

"Fine, fine. Tonight then." Gertrude said while walking out of the class with Lucius putting on his cloak and following her.

Gertrude headed along to Professor McGonagall's classroom, and peered inside. "May I see Potter for a moment?" she asked.

"Yes, of course."

Harry got up and walked out side the door.

"Potter, I want to speak with you after dinner. You're to come to my office."

"But, what for?" Harry asked cautiously.

"Because, I have something for you, it's from you're mother. I use to be her friend. And I think it's about time you have it back."

"Alright. I'll be there." Harry replied.

That night after dinner, Harry got up from the table and told Hermione where he was going. She looked at him cautiously.

Then she said "Is that wise Harry?"

"I don't know, but she said she had something from my mom's. I have to go or she'll think I know."

"Alright Harry, if you don't come back in one hour, I'll come up to get you."

With that Harry nodded at her and left. He headed up to Gertrude's office and knocked on the door. As it opened on it's own he walked inside. As he stopped in the middle of the room he could feel something was wrong. Just then the door slammed closed, and he whipped around to find Lucius coming out from under an invisibility cloak.

"You!" Harry said.
