Ron and Hermione followed Harry to the Library through the restricted section and out the back door. Then, they headed down a narrow passageway not even Hermione knew existed. When they came to the end of the tunnel, Harry stopped them.
"Harry, is this some kind of sick joke of yours?" Hermione asked.
"Trust me…" Harry said.
Hermione studied him intently. "Trust him." Ron advised.
"Fine." Hermione finally said.
Harry pulled out his wand and pointed it at the wall. "You can't be serous, man." Ron said. "It's a wall and would make a ton of noise of you demolish it."
"Hold on." Hermione said. "He knows something that we don't."
Harry merely looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Virdimilious." Harry said in a low voice. A door appeared. Harry smiled smugly at Ron and Hermione. "We're not demolishing it, Ron." Harry said. "We're going to go through it."
Harry, Ron and Hermione were sprinting down the passageway. They were almost to the next door when they heard someone about to open it. Hermione pulled out her wand and whispered, "Devirdimlilous." and "Wingardium leviosa."
Ron and Harry became invisible and were floating. Harry used the same spells on Hermione just before Flitch and Mrs. Norris walked in the door. Mrs. Norris looked up at them as if she could see them, but not seeing anything. She remained quiet and kept walking towards the other end with Flitch.
Hermione carefully lowered Harry and Ron to the floor. Then, Harry lowered her. They preformed the 'Virdimilious' spell on each other.
After they had wasted two minutes with Flitch and Mrs. Norris, they were back to sprinting to the end of the passageway. It seemed to take forever until they finally got there. They were panting and Harry had barely enough breath to say, "Virdimilious." But he did manage and they slipped through the door. Hermione quietly shut the door behind all of them. Ron walked up to the portrait and said, half panting, "Mandrake." Which was the password.
The door swung open. All three of them ran inside and up to the girl's dormitories.
"Ginny, is that you?" Hermione asked when she heard the shower running and walked into the bathroom leaving Harry and Ron outside.
"Yeah." Ginny said.
"Did you just get back?" Hermione asked Ginny.
"Yeah. I went outside for dinner and accidentally slipped in some mud. I left after I finished eating and hopped straight into the shower." Ginny explained. "Why?"
"Just wondering. Member we are suppose to study together today for your test tomorrow? I just wanted to make sure you weren't waiting for me."
"Oh, uhh. Thanks."
"I'll wait for you in the common room."
"Ok."
Hermione closed the door and turned toward Harry and Ron. "Guess she didn't notice." Hermione said.
"Phew!" Harry and Ron said together.
"Well, put it back before she does!" Hermione said.
"Pushy!" Harry laughed at Hermione.
"She's right, were not even supposed to be in here anyways!" Ron said.
Harry carefully placed the diary entry where he had found it: on top of Ginny's potions homework. Then, they all headed toward the common room to wait for Ginny to come down.
"She should be a while." Hermione said.
"Duh!" Ron said. "She could easily spend five hours in the shower."
"Ron!" Harry said smiling and shaking his head.
"As you were saying, Ron…" Hermione said putting out her hand towards Ginny.
"Shut up, Ron." Ginny said and sat with Hermione on the couch.
"Well," Ron said. "It takes you an hour to do your hair."
"Shut up!" Ginny said again.
"Fine, fine." Ron said. "It's the truth though."
"It takes you two hours to do your hair, Ronald!" Ginny said. "Anyways, Hermione, can I talk to you quick? In private?"
"Sure, girl's dormitories?"
"Ok."
"Sure, the one place where we can't ease drop!" Ron said to Harry. Harry nodded. Hermione and Ginny left Harry and Ron without saying anything and walked up the spiral staircase.
"What's up?" Hermione asked as they reached the girl's dormitories.
"Have you seen some pages from my diary. I can't seem to find them." Ginny asked.
"Isn't it right there, on your bed?"
"Oh, yeah. But – that's weird. It wasn't there before I took my shower. Hermione, do you know something that I don't?"
"Oh…um…" Hermione bit her lip. She knew she could lie to Ginny. Ginny knew it too. Hermione told Ginny everything.
"HARRY! RON!" Ginny yelled running down the spiral staircase with Hermione trailing behind her. " WHY?!"
"Why what?" Ron asked.
"MY DIARY PAGE!!" Ginny yelled.
"Hermione!!" Ron said.
"I can't tell a lie." Hermione said. "You know that."
"Blabbermouth." Ron mumbled under his breath.
"Shut up, Ron." Hermione scolded.
"Don't tell me to shut up!" Ron warned.
"Hey, you two! Cool it!" Harry said.
"You're right. Ginny is the one who should me mad. Not us." Hermione said.
"We're sorry, Ginny." Harry said.
"I – I thought I could trust all of you! You're my friends! Friends don't do this to each other!" Ginny said glassy eyed.
"Ginny, we're sorry." Hermione said.
"If you're sorry, then why'd you do it?" Ginny shook her head 'no' and ran out of the common room.
"Now I feel awful!" Hermione said getting a hug from Harry.
"She'll get over it." Ron said not worried at all.
"RON!" Harry and Hermione yelled at the same time.
"Geese!" Ron shrugged.
"We have to apologize to her." Hermione said.
"There's only one problem. We don't know where she went." Harry said.
"Where would she go?" Ron said out loud.
"Hmmm…I bet I know." Hermione said.
"Where?" Harry asked.
"Yesterday, I showed her two secret passages near the Slytherin Common Room. I bet she is in one of them." Hermione said.
"Where do they lead to?" Ron asked.
"One to the abandoned girl's bathroom. You know, the one with Moaning Myrtle? And the other leads to the potions room." Hermione explained.
"Ok…well, lets go." Harry urged.
"Ok." Hermione said.
The trio ran toward the Slytherin Common Room. As they reached the portrait covering the Slytherin Common Room entrance, Malfoy came along and said, "What are you doing here, Potter?"
"None of your business." Ron snapped.
"Oh, Shut up." Malfoy said.
"Don't tell him to shut up." Hermione said. "That's my job."
"And what could a mudblood do to me?" Malfoy asked.
"Punch you like I did in your third year. If you don't want broken nose, I suggest you go away." Hermione said.
"Gladly." Malfoy answered. He walked towards the library.
"Nicely done." Harry said to Hermione.
"Thanks. C'mon before we get caught." Hermione said.
"Ok." Ron said.
"Virdimilious." Hermione said pointing her hand at a wall. Almost immediately, a door appeared. Harry, Ron and Hermione quietly entered the passageway and closed the door. When the door disappeared, they ran as fast as they could. When they neared a green and silver banister, they heard a voice on the other side of the wall saying, "Virdimilious."
"Snape." Harry whispered franticly.
"Shh." Hermione hushed. "There's another voice now."
"Dumbledore!" Ron whispered overwhelmed with happiness.
"What are you doing?" Dumbledore asked Snape.
"Malfoy tipped me off that Potter and his friends were acting suspicious around the Slytherin entrance a little while ago."
"What would make you think that Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger would know about this passageway?" Dumbledore asked.
"It's possible." Snape answered.
"Come into my office. I think it's time to have another one of those 'don't stalk Harry' talk."
"But –"
"No buts."
"Thank you Dumbledore!" Ron said after they hear the click of the door being shut.
"Good old Dumbledore." Harry said.
"Now that we've had a close call sneaking around, can we go and try to find Ginny now?" Hermione asked.
"Shouldn't we split up and one or two of us and go search the dungeons and Snape's room?" Ron asked.
"If Snape saw Ginny, he would have told Dumbledore, Ronald!" Hermione said.
"Oh! Right." Ron said.
"So, now that we are pretty sure that Ginny's with Myrtle, lets hurry and get there." Harry said.
"Lets just hope she hasn't left yet!" Hermione thought out loud.
They ran to the end of the passage and Hermione pulled out her wand and said, "Virdimilious." When the door appeared they opened it quietly and entered the bathroom. They heard soft whimpering. They had defiantly found Ginny.
"Ginny?!" Hermione asked. "Is that you?"
"GO AWAY!" Ginny cried.
"Ginny, we're here to talk to you." Harry said. "We're sorry –"
"I said go away!"
"Ron," Hermione whispered. "You try. You're her brother."
"Ok." Ron said. "Uh…Ginny…can we –"
"SHUT UP, RON. GO AWAY!"
"I tried." Ron said to Harry and Hermione.
"We're sorry, Ginny. Please forgive us." Hermione said.
"Yeah, sorry." Harry said.
"Sorry." Ron said.
"Lets go." Hermione said to Harry and Ron. "But we've got to watch out for Snape."
"Ok, lets go." Harry said.
Harry, Ron and Hermione headed back through the secret passageway without any complications.
It was time for dinner. So, Harry, Ron and Hermione headed to the Great Hall.
"Crap." Ron said.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"We have Potions after this and I didn't do my homework."
"Don't even think about it."
"Please, Hermione! With Ginny and all I haven't had any time to do it!"
"No. Not a good excuse, Ronald. You're not copying."
"Here." Harry said. "Copy mine."
"Wow! Harry!" Hermione said shocked. "You did your homework for once!"
"Yeah, but it's probably all wrong."
