Chapter 3 - Love Trouble

"Harry . . . Hermione was cut off by Harry.

"Are you ok? Do you feel sick? Do you know that spell?" Harry asked Hermione.

"Harry I'm ok, it was just a prank spell!" Hermione told Harry.

"Is there such a thing as a prank spell?" Harry asked Hermione.

"Well there must be." Hermione replied. Hermione actually felt sick to her stomach but she didn't want to worry anybody so she lied and said she was ok. "I'll go to the nurse after I sleep. Maybe I'll feel better than." She thought, thinking she was just nervous because of the spell.

"Ok Hermione, we should probably go catch up to Ron though." Harry said. So together they went to the common room. In the common room that sat down beside Ron and started talking about what Hermione said to Malfoy and what Malfoy did.

"Me and Harry were just talking about something and then that stupid Malfoy came up and called me a mudblood. He said we were wasting away his reputation so I said that he didn't have a reputation to lose." Hermione told Ron. Ron laughed.

"Yeah then he cast some spell on Hermione and left!" Harry added. "Oh well as long as nothings wrong." Hermione's stomach started to gurgle and get sore. She grabbed her stomach and tried not to start crying.

"Are you ok Hermione?!" Ron asked looking at Hermione gritting her teeth and grabbing at her stomach.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." Hermione told Ron and Harry. "Um . . . I have to . . . go to my room." Hermione said in pain and ran off. Ron and Harry walk to there dorm. It was getting late.

"Do you think Hermione's ok?" Harry asked Ron.

"Um . . . NO!!" Ron replied.

"It's Hermione we're talking about. This isn't normal." Harry said.

"She'll be ok Harry, don't worry." Ron reassured him. "You should get some sleep, you look horrible. Ron and Harry went to sleep but in the morning they didn't know what would await them.

Meanwhile, Hermione was in the bathroom leaning over the toilet because of feeling so sick. She felt something coming up her throat. It came further and further un till it was in her mouth. She leaned over the toilet and closed her eyes. Big globs came out off her mouth and then an syrup like consistency and finally a liquid. Hermione opened her eyes. The toilet was black. Then she felt more. She closed her eyes and let it come out. When she opened her eyes there were green letters in the black chunks; it read :

GNINROM EHT NI DOOLBDUM eht ROF EMOC LLI

"What's that supposed to be?" Hermione said to herself. She tried reading in all different ways. "Hmmm, maybe if I spell it backwards.

Ill come for the mudblood in the morning

"OH MY GOD!!" Hermione thought. "I have to reverse the spell or something. THAT'S IT, PROFESSOR SNAPE. Hermione ran out of the bathroom crying and was about to run out the door when suddenly. . .

Harry woke up half way through the night and put on his robe. He sat down on his bed still half asleep. He couldn't sleep at all through the nightmares about Hermione and dying and all those bad things. He looked over to Ron's bed. It was empty.

"What? Were could Ron be?" Harry thought. Just then Ron walked through the door and over to Harry.

"Harry," Ron Whispered. "Thank goodness your awake.!"

"Why, what's wrong?" Harry asked Ron.

"Well," Ron said. "I couldn't go to sleep because of thinking something was wrong with Hermione. I tried and tried but I just couldn't so I decided to go for a quick walk through the hallway and then go right to sleep. Well, when I was walking I heard someone talking so I decided to check it out. It was coming from the girls dorm. Who ever was there said;

"The footprints come from the bathroom and they're quite big. What ever it was must have been vast in size. This must not get out to anyone, you hear me."

"Yes, I won't tell a soul. But that poor darling Hermione. What ever happened to her is definitely horrid."

"Yes, yes a shame. If anyone asks we'll simply say the dear had to leave Hogwarts, on an emergency event of course."

"I was hiding around the corner of course so I didn't see who it was but it was definitely bad." Ron added.

"I have to find her." Harry told Ron.

"Harry, there's no clue to were she could possibly be. Its no use trying, just leave it to the professors."

"No Ron, I'm going to find out were Hermione is!"

All Ron and Harry could think about in class Hermione. If she was dead or suffering or perfectly fine. After class Harry and Ron were walking to the common room. They walked past a room and heard the name Hermione. They looked at the door, it was open a crack. They listened.

"That poor Hermione. Could you imagine being captured and taken into the Forbidden Forest?"

"WHAT!" Harry yelled out.

"Huh, who's there?" The voice asked. Harry and Ron ran away before the voice could see them. Harry and Ron went to the common room to work on there homework. Neither of them could get anything done before Hermione was safe back at Hogwarts.

"I can't believe it. The forbidden forest?" Ron said.

"Shhh!" Harry hushed. "We can't just blurt it out like that, someone might here you!"

"Sorry Harry but I can't get anything done with all this pressure pushing down on me!" Ron added. "Hermione has to be found, just not by me."

"Yeah I no Ron," Harry said, "That's why I'm going to look for her."

"Harry I don't think that's a good idea." Ron told him, "We should just leave it to the professors to do."

"Ron, Hermione's missing and its all my fault!" Harry blurted out.

"Yeah, I know." Ron said, "If you try to find Hermione than you may go missing too."

"Ok Ron." Harry added. "Don't go, I will."

"Harry," Ron looked around to make sure nobody heard then looked back to Harry, "I'm scared that if I go something bad is going to happen to me."

"Don't worry Ron, you'll be with me."

"Yeah that's what scares me." Ron laughed.

That night at midnight Harry got out of bed and put on his robe. He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a note to Ron that said;

Ron:

I left to go find Hermione in the forbidden forest.

If you change your mind about helping me out you know were to find me.

Signed: HARRY

Harry slipped the note into Ron's trunk and set off to find Hermione; his true love.
