Ok, this chapter is only up because I was bored and I had already written it, but seriously, I know this is gonna sound like bribery, but if you don't review, I won't write anymore, review with ideas, messages of encouragement, anything, whatever, just review, please...


The next morning, the Great Hall was a buzz of activity, all students were talking over breakfast about the mysterious girl who had turned up at the school and been sent straight to the infirmary after an attack of Dementors, apart from the girl, only three people knew what had happened.

As soon as Harry, Hermione and Ron had stepped into the hall, Harry knew he wouldn't get much breakfast.

"Harry, why is everyone looking at you? What's going on?" Hermione asked, looking around the room.

Harry looked at Ron, "I can't tell you, not here anyway" he replied, stabbing his fork into his sausage and cutting off a small piece. He put it into his mouth and started chewing. As he swallowed the piece, the room went deathly quiet; everyone was looking at the Great Hall doors. Harry turned around and saw Professor Dumbledore with Camryn. As they walked past, Dumbledore nodded at Harry, Harry nodded back, and then smiled at Camryn, she smiled quickly, then looked down at the floor.

"Harry?" Hermione asked looking at him intently.

"Not now Hermione" Harry said, stabbing at his sausage again.

An expression of hurt appeared on her face, she looked down at her plate and pushed her bacon around on it. When she looked up, she saw Harry and Ron staring up at the table with all the teachers. "Harry? Ron?" she waved a hand in front of each of their faces, neither blinked. She jumped up and stormed out of the Great Hall, grumbling under her breath.

Harry saw the movement out of the corner of his eye, he nudged Ron, and they both got up and dashed after Hermione.

As Harry and Ron chased after Hermione, Harry thought he saw a dark object floating outside. When he looked again, it was gone. He shrugged, and kept running, calling after Hermione. As they reached the end of the hall, Harry realized Hermione had stopped dead. When he reached her he saw why. Four Dementors were floating by the doors.

"Ron, don't come any closer, go get Dumbledore, now" he heard Ron dash away. "Hermione, slowly step backwards, not too quickly" together he and Hermione had made it halfway back down the hall when the Dementors advanced on them. "Hermione! Run!" he turned and ran down the hall, hearing Hermione's hurried footsteps behind him.

"Ahh!" Harry turned his head to see why Hermione had screamed.

"Hermione!" Harry yelled in shock after seeing she'd tripped and fallen. He turned his body around and ran back to her.

"Harry! What are you doing? Keep running!" Hermione said as he reached her.

Harry knelt beside her. "I'm not going anywhere,"

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Harry turned his head and relaxed when he saw Professor Dumbledore at the other end of the hall with the teachers and a large group of students, Ron in the lead.

"Hermione, are you alright?" Harry asked.

"Yes I'm fine" Hermione struggled to sit up, "Harry, I'm sorry"

"For what? Here let me help you stand up" he held out his hand, and then pulled Hermione to his feet, putting his arm around her waist to keep her steady.

"For leading you to the-"

"Hermione! You're bleeding!" Ron yelled, cutting Hermione off.

"I am?" Hermione asked, looking down, her knee was cut and bleeding slightly. "Oh, is that all?"

"No, your chin is as well" Harry said, taking a proper look.

"It can't be that bad, I can't feel it" Hermione shrugged, looking away.

"Hermione, don't lie" Harry said warningly.

"Harry, stop it!" Hermione pulled away from him.

"Stop what?"

"Stop being you, I'm fine, and I'm not lying, now go back to your new friend"

"Ms. Granger, would you please accompany me to the Infirmary, Madame Pomfrey is waiting for you there" Professor Dumbledore said, reaching them.

"Of course, Professor" Hermione limped after the Professor as he started down the hall, once he had passed the group of students, he stopped and waited for Hermione, then, together they walked down the hall and out of sight.

"What was that all about?" Ron asked, walking up to Harry.

"I don't know, but I think it had something to do with Camryn" Harry replied, watching as Hermione limped away.
