Harry Ron, and Hermione sat in the common room long after everyone else went to bed.

Ron glanced at Hermione, silently asking whether they should tell him. She returned his glance, a glance that told him yes.

"Uh, Harry?" Ron began, "Hermione and I have something to tell you."

"Yeah?" Said Harry. Looking from one best friend to the other. They looked a little strange.

"Ron and I are dating," Hermione blurted, turning red. Ron looked defensive, daring Harry to make fun of him. "We got together before before the Hogsmeade weekend ast week," she finished.

"Finally!" Harry saidwith a little laugh, "I thought that you would never get around to it."

"What?" Ron said, "you knew?" Ron couldn't believe what he was hearing. Had it been that obvious?

"Well it was sort of obvious, the way you two carry on. I was just waiting for it to actually happen."

Ron's ears turned red. "Well...alright then...." he said, "I think I'll go to bed." he got up and gave Hermione a kiss. "Night, love." he walked up to the dormitory slightly relieved.

Soon after, Harry came up also. "Goodnight Ron."

"Goodnight Harry" several minutes later harry and Ron had fallen asleep.

Down in the common room, Hermione felt like taking a walk and, anyway as long as she didn't get caught, a midnight walk wasn't that bad, she thought as she quietly got up and exited through the portrait hole.

She had only gone a couple steps when she felt a sudden pain across her head she gasped and then fell. A large shadow fell across her, and the last thing she heard was a drawling voice saying, "Take her into the forest, he's waiting."

The next morning Harry and Ron went down to the common room and out the portrait. As they walked down to the Great Hall in silence, neither was much of a morning person. Hermione wasn't at the Gryffindor table. "Where do you reckon she is?" asked Ron.

Harry shrugged and sat down. "The library maybe, you know how she is about school work," he said, "we'll see her in transfiguration."

But Hermione did not come to Transfigurations nor Charms after that.

"Harry, I don't like this, I don't like this at all," Ron said in a worried voice. "Hermione never misses classes"

"Hey, Scar head, Weasel!" came a voice from the entrance to the dungeons. "Missing something?" Malfoy said in his drawling smug voice.

What are you talking about Malfoy?!" said Harry in a loud harsh voice. There was something in his voice that he didn't like. As though he knew where she was and wasn't going to tell.

"Haven't been able to find her have you, the stupid MUDBLOOD!," he said smirking. But then his smug look disappeared as Ron's wand was thrust at him.

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK" Ron yelled. Finding the nastiest curse he could think of to throw at Malfoy.

"Potter! Weasley! What do you think you are doing?" came the cold, menacing voiceof Harry's least favorite teacher: Snape. "What is going on here?"

"He's done something with Hermione!" Ron said hoarsely.

"Has he?" his lip was curling up, a grim smile on his face. "10 points from Gryffindor for telling lies."

As they walked back up to the common room, Ron said, "Harry what are we going to do, Malfoy knows where she is. I can't let anything happen to her, I love her too much to give her up, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to her."
