Chapter Two
As Harry and Ron hurried out the Fat Lady's portrait, the saw Hermione's shadow from the corner and followed it.
Under the Invisibility cloak, Harry and Ron stayed close behind Hermione so she wouldn't hear their footsteps. Not a word was said. Since classes were over, the hall were empty and silent. As Hermione continued to her destination, the halls went darker and darker. Soon, only the lanters were the only sourse of light.
It was then when Harry realized where Hermione was heading for. "Ron!" Harry whispered in Ron's ear.
"What?" he said.
"She's heading for Snape's office."
"Wow, you're right." Ron said after examining his surroundings. "What does she want with that slimy git?"
After their realization, they found themselves right behind Hermione who was hesitating to knock on Snape's office door.
After a few moments, Hermione gave up. She couldn't do it. She took a deep breath as she lowered her hand.
Harry and Ron stared at the back of her head, confused on Hermione's behavior. After a few more moments of regret, Hermione turned her heel and started walking back to the common room.
Harry was confused and worried. Clearly, Hermione was not telling them something. He was confused what Hermione was trying to do and yet upset because she didn't tell them. They were best friends. Surely she knew that she could trust them. This made Harry just a tad bit angry, but not Ron. From the look on Ron's face, he was gonna start another row as soon as they reached the common room.
As Hermione stopped in front of the Fat Lady to give the password, Ron blew up.
"Password?" asked the Fat Lady, "My dear, what's wrong? Tears are gushing down your cheeks like a hailstorm."
"Blimey moons." Hermione said quickly. Before the portrait opened Ron pulled off the Invisibility cloak.
"Hermione!" he yelled. Hermione quickly turned around coming face to face with her two best friends.
Hermione was staring at the Invisibility cloak in Harry hands and horror struck her. "Oh no."
"You bet Oh No!" Ron yelled.
"Ron, please—"
"What in bloody hell were you doing in Snape's office!" Ron roared. Luckily, it was only the three of them and the Fat Lady who heard.
"I—I ca—can't tell you," Hermione shuttered, tears racing down her soft fair cheeks.
"Hermione, what happening with you?" Harry said in a concerned voice. Much opposite from Ron's.
"Harry, I—"
"Well! Out with it!" Ron said ignoring the fact that Hermione was backing up against the Fat Lady's portrait. Harry was hurt to see that she was afraid if them. Of course, he didn't blame her. Ron looked like he was about to explode.
Hermione didn't answer. It was clear to her that there was no escape. If she was quick enough to slip inside through the door, they would just ask her tomorrow. So she gave in.
"Ihavwicities." She answered very quietly and quick with her head facing her feet.
"What?"
"I HAVE WITCHITIES!"
Ron could almost feel his heart stop beating. The Fat Lady gave a gasp of horror and Harry stood there confused and clueless.
"What? Now you have nothing to say!" Hermione said, sobbing. "Well, you have your answer!"
"Just leave me alone!" with that, Hermione ran inside.
Harry, who had been standing there, witnessing the whole thing and not understanding a word of it, turned to Ron.
"Ron, what's 'Mione talking ab—" Harry was cut short when Ron tried to rush in but the portrait slammed shut.
"P—password?" asked the Fat Lady after blowing her nose on a handkerchief. She too was crying.
"Blimey moons!" Ron said loudly and quickly.
After a few more woes for the portrait, the trap door opened. Ron ran inside only to find the common room empty except for a confused looking Ginny standing by the bottom of the stairs that led to the girl's dormitories.
"Gin, have you seen 'Mione?" Ron asked immediately.
"Yeah. She ran up stairs, crying. Don't know why though. She told me she wanted to be alone." Ginny answered. "Why? What's up with her?"
Ron didn't reply. He just stormed back to his dormitory, leaving Ginny and Harry alone in the common room (a/n: Sorry, not really a Harry and Ginny story.).
"Harry, what's going on?" Ginny demanded.
"I don't know." Harry groaned as he lunged himself on an empty sofa by the fire.
"What do you mean you don't know? You were there for goodness sake!" cried Ginny seating herself on an armchair nearby.
"Gin, I have to clear my head. Night." Harry said before climbing up the spiral staircase to the boy's dormitory.
