Chapter 21
The days passed slowly. Hermione and Ron refused to be around each other and Harry and Ginny if the other was around. Instead of the four of them going to the Great Hall for meal times, Harry and Ginny went down alone.
Ron wouldn't sit by Harry and Hermione refused to sit by Ron or Harry, thinking that Harry was on Ron's side. So, Harry sat in the back of the class, alone.
For the first time in a long time he hated being at Hogwarts. Except for Ginny. She was the only silver lining in this gray cloud that had came over their head.
The days turned into weeks and Christmas was soon coming.
"We can not go on living this way, Harry," Ginny said one night a week before the Hogsmeade trip.
"I know, but how could we get them back together?"
"How about placing one of us in danger?"
"That's not a bad idea. But what kind of danger?"
"RON, HERMIONE! COME QUICK!" Harry's voice bellowed. The two crashed out of their towers and down the steps.
"What? What is it?" They asked at the same time.
"It's, it's Ginny. She's been taken," Harry gasped as he thrust a letter into their hands.
If you ever want to see your precious little girlfriend again then give yourself up at the Shrieking Shack.
"You have to tell Dumbledore!" Hermione exclaimed, her face paling.
"He's not here."
"Where is he!"
"He's at Hogsmeade having a meeting with Fudge!" Harry replied.
"He's away from the school! What about Gin?" Ron asked frantically.
"Harry you can't go. They'll kill you for sure."
"If I don't then they'll kill her!"
"We'll go. We can save her."
"Yeah. Come on Hermione!"
Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and they ran together out of the common room. Harry slunk down into a chair. Ginny popped out of the corner.
"Hey it worked."
"Yeah let's hope it'll get them together."
