Hey I'll try to update more often but I havent gotten a single review cries oh well please I beg u if you read this please review!!!!!!!! Liz

"Hermione what is that black metal thing that fell out of your pocket?" Ron asked since he was raised with magic he didn't know that it was a gun.

"Ok let me explain," Hermione said, " after last year I was really nervous about the war so I decided to take some classes to get me prepared. Also I bought this thing (she points to gun) it's called a gun."

" Oh wait I think I heard of that is that the thing that's is really sticky and is muggle candy?" asked Ron.

" No Ron that's GUM this is a GUN," replied Harry.

" Anyway I bought this to protect us. I figured since Voldemort never seen one of these he wouldn't know how to protect himself from it."

" That was smart Hermione but I wish you told us," said Ron.

"So do you know how to fire it?" asked Harry.

"Yep took gun classes all summer. Poor mum and dad thought I was taking pottery classes," replied Hermione. "Don't ask," she said to Ron's puzzled look. "Now it' your turn to explain where all the Gryffindors are and what is going on!"

"Ok well you know the part about the Voldemort taking over the castle, but there's a little problem with where the other Gryffindors are," said Harry.

"Oh and what's that?" asked Hermione.

"We can't find them," said Ron.

Ok sry bout the short chap but I'm stuck. People please R&R flames welcome!
