Chapter 4 :

Harry slipped out the door and ran down the hallway and he was about to go down the stairs and out the door but he knew It wouldn't be that easy even though he hoped it would be. He heard footsteps behind him. Harry looked around franticly and then slipped behind a large pillar. It was Snape and Magonagel.

"We'll start the search for Hermione just before sun rise. That way nobody can see us leave and we'll have plenty of time to search."

"Yes, yes a very good idea. We'll leave three of our best supervisors here to keep everyone in line. It has to work. Its our last choice other than, well, death.'

Harry swallowed hard and tried to push the horrible thought out of his head. Death couldn't be an option, could it? Once Harry was sure everyone was out of sight he slipped out from behind the pillar and ran down the stairs and out the door. He looked at the sky. He had five hours before everyone else would start searching for Hermione. Harry didn't think he would love anyone more than he loved Hermione. He couldn't waste time worrying about his life. He had to find Hermione.

Harry ran to the forbidden forest not knowing were to start looking. Then he saw something white on a tree a few feet ahead of him. He ran over. It was a piece of fabric. Harry slipped it in his pocket knowing it was a piece Hermione's night gown. He continued to run in the direction of the tree in which he found the material. Harry ran for 2 hours before he stopped. He had no clue that the forbidden forest was that large. He knew that even though he was running for hours her and had left behind so many miles that he was just entering the forest.

There were millions of places they could be and Harry knew it would be days before he found another clue as to where Hermione could be. He knew that he had to rest before he could search any more. He made himself comfortable on a large leaf and went to bed. When he woke up he would continue his journey. He didn't know if he was going the right direction or if he would life to find Hermione but her knew he would try.

In the morning Harry woke up and thought of what he would eat for breakfast. Then he realized that he didn't bring anything.

"Great!" Harry said. How am I supposed to survive if I have no food? Oh well, I'll just have to try or die trying." Harry got up and started to walk. He heard giggles. He turned around and was surprised to see a rustle in the bushes. The giggles continued and slowly faded away. Harry didn't know what it was but he wanted to find out. He followed the giggles through the forest.

Hours past by but he kept on following until finally the giggles stopped. Then he heard singing. Beautiful singing like he had never heard before. It stayed still. After a few minutes Harry got curious. He moved closer. He didn't know what it was. He stopped. This could be a trap. Suddenly Harry grew nervous about the whole situation. Still he proceeded forward. She was beautiful. She had long black hair and a beautiful figure. Harry could tell It was a fairie because of her sleek and elegant hot pink wings. She sat on the ground bare foot and had on a purple t-shirt and long black pants. Above her head was a beautiful and gigantic red rose.

"Finally you're here." The fairie said, giving Harry a little shake.

"Um … yes, I guess I am. Who are you?" Harry asked.

"Well, my name is …" She hesitated, "I'm … Jeniguon, the princess of the fairies."

"Oh … I'm"

"Harry Potter. I know."

"Why were you expecting me?"

"Well, you see, I know abut that girl, Hermione. She's been captured by ... him." Jeniguon said.

"Who's 'him'?" Harry asked her.

"Um… would you like something to eat or drink?" She offered. "You look famished!"

"Well, sure." Harry answered. Harry wondered why she avoided the question. She answered all of the other ones? "Oh well." Harry thought. He shrugged it off. They walked and walked and walked. It only seemed like a five minutes but it was more like and hour. They stopped.

"Wait here." Jenigoun said. So Harry stood there. He waited. He waited a little longer. Finally, after what seemed to be the distance from earth to sun, she reappeared.
