Chapter 3: Ron's Plan Unfolds

(no POV)

Harry walked towards Care of Magical Creatures with Hermione by his side. He was thinking and didn't notice when she took his hand until she did a small squeeze and giggled when he jumped. "Don't do that! You know that when I'm in thought, I can't be bothered" Harry said with a smile. He saw Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle behind them, so he hid their hands so they wouldn't make fun of them. But Draco came up to Harry and asked if he can talk to him alone. Harry didn't want to but Crabbe and Goyle started to drag him into the forest.

(Hermione's POV)

I was so worried about Harry when he was carried off into the woods like that. But I stayed put, not wanting to interrupt what they're doing as to get Harry into more trouble. And I wanted as little people to know that we were boyfriend/girlfriend. That would spread and we'd be laughed at wherever we go. But for now, I didn't care, I just cared about Harry being OK.

(Ron's POV)

Draco was doing his part of the plan. Now Hermione will split up with Harry tomorrow if we're lucky, but tonight if we're really lucky. But for now, I just wanted Harry to drink the potion I have in store for him. Then I'll watch the fireworks. I laughed softly, but evilly.

(Hermione's POV)

Harry didn't come out after 5 minutes, so I ran as fast as I can towards Hagrids Hut. But then a big foot tripped me and picked me up. I knew struggling would be no use, he'd just hold on tighter so I wouldn't breate. I tried to move my hand towards my pocket. It moved a little, but was still short by a few inches. By that time they could injure him, Hermione was in tears at the thought of that, but actually cried when she thought of them killing Harry.

(Draco's POV)

By this time, I don't want to keep the deal, I just want to cause Potter and Granger as much sad time as possible. That was reward enough for me, I had knocked Potter out with a Sleeping Charm and was dragging Potter to where Ron had told him to go. Crabbe and Goyle were going after Granger in case she went for help. I arrived at the spot with Potter and saw no one, even though it was a big clearing. But even though it was a big clearing, there was no light. "Lumos!" I looked around to see that trees covered the spot, even though that never happened before. I heard metal creak and looked around to see myself in a cage, I looked up and I was caged. I saw Weasley.

(Hermione's POV)

My hand was in my pocket, another inch and I'd get it. I put my hand on the smooth wood and took it out slowly so he wouldn't notice. I pointed it at his leg and shouted "Petrificus Totalus!" and I felt the arms getting off of me. I saw it was Crabbe and looked around, wand in hand to see no Goyle. I ran towards Hagrids Hut again, and another foot came out, but I jumped over it and ran as fast as I can again. Goyle didn't exercise that much, so I outran him in 5 seconds. I knocked on the door and Hagrid didn't answer, so I walked to the back to see the class gathered around something. I stood next to Hagrid and told him everything that just happened.

(Harry's POV)

When I woke up, I saw Draco sitting down with his wand green. I took my own out and yelled "Lumos!" and a big green sphere appeared. I saw a glass of what looked like Pumpkin Juice. I ran to it as I was so thirsty, but I heard Draco try to stop me from drinking it, saying that it was my doom, but I ignored him and drank the entire glass in one gulp.
