Turning Your Time Around
By: Cheelalaucha
Chapter dedicated to: Mr. Bick, my social studies teacher. He deserves a medal for putting up with "Zachoslovokia"/"Zach Crockett", Jenn, Bobbie, and Toni. Well, it's not a medal, but I hope this chapter dedication will do for now. Thanks for not murdering us all (even though you want to a lot)!

B; Chapter 5: "Missing in War"

"What did you do!" Ron yelled at Malfoy.

"Damn that Longbottom! Oh well, at least part of my problems are gone. Now, how about you, Weasley?" Malfoy glared at Ron with and evil grin on his face.

But, right at that moment, four D.A. members came walking up behind him. It was Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Luna. Every one of them had their own wands raised and pointing at Malfoy.

"Back off Malfoy, or we'll have to make you."

Draco Malfoy turned, and saw Harry had the same evil grin he did. Malfoy, seeing he was outnumbered greatly, waved his hand, and his goons followed him back into the castle.

Harry heard him mutter "You'll get yours, Potter." but he didn't really care. He walked up to Ron and lowered his wand.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked him.

"I'm fine, but Malfoy cursed or charmed or something-ed Neville," Ron told them in a nervous voice.

"Where is he?" Ginny asked.

Ron did a full turn, looking to see where Neville had ended up. But, he saw no sign of him. "Uh..I don't.. know. He's gone!"

They all exchanged scared glances. "Neville? Neville!" Hermione yelled. "Well, don't just stand there, we have to find him, he could be hurt!"

They all began to yell for him, searching behind trees, rocks, anything they could find.

"Wait, let's try the map!"

Harry ran into the castle, and into his dormitory. He pulled the map from his trunk and brought it back down to the grounds.

They all gathered around him to read.

Harry lifted every flap, read every page, and looked at every floor of Hogwarts on the map twice, but he couldn't find Neville Longbottom anywhere on it.

"He's not here!" Harry looked around at the others, who all had the same grave look he did.

"We have to tell Dumbledore," Hermione said. They all nodded in agreement and, as one, they went to the Headmaster's office.

When they reached the hall that led to Dumbledore's office, they saw Professor McGonagall walking by.

"Professor!" Hermione called to her.

Professor McGonagall jumped slightly in surprise. She sighed with relief when she saw Hermione. She then walked upto them, quickly.

"Miss Granger, please don't go around shouting like that, you could scare someone out of their wits!"

"Sorry Professor, but we've got to talk to you. Neville's disappeared!" Hermione told her.

Professor McGonagall looked at each of them.

"What do you mean disappeared?" she said with a frightened tone.

"He's no where in the castle, and he's not outside. We have to tell Professor Dumbledore," Harry said to her.

"Mister Potter, I'm sure he's there, you're just not looking hard enough. Now, please go back to your dormitories." Professor McGonagall started to walk away, but Harry kept talking.

"Please, Professor! He's not here! We need to tell-" Professor McGonagall cut him off.

"Professor Dumbledore isn't in him office at the moment, so you mind as well wait to tell him anything. Now, return to your dormitories, or I'll take points away from your houses," McGonagall said in her strict voice.

Harry looked pleadingly at her, but she just walked past them and turned the corner.

"Let's tell Hagrid," Ron suggested.

"Right." Harry nodded, and they all followed him down to Hagrid's.

When they got there, they knocked loudly on the door. Nothing happened. Fang wasn't even barking. They waited a few minutes and then knocked again. Still nothing.

"He must be out," Ron said.

Harry and Hermione looked frantically around for Hagrid.

"Where could he be?" Hermione said, sounding scared.

"Well, what do we do now?" Ginny asked Harry. But, Hermione answered.

"We have to tell a teacher!"

"But who?" Ginny asked.

Hermione looked slowly up at Harry, and he could tell what she was thinking.

"Oh no! We're not telling him." Harry stared at Hermione seriously.

"Who?" Ginny asked them. "Who are you talking about?"

"Professor Snape," Luna said in her dreamy voice.

"You can't tell him, he'll think we're the ones who've done something wrong to him!" Ron told Hermione.

"He's still a teacher, Ron. He's not our enemy. What if Neville's hurt! What if Vol-Voldemort's got him!" Hermione said in a scared voise.

"Why would he want him? What's he got to with the war - nothing!" Ron yelled at her.

"You're right, this is war! In which case, do you really think he cares if Neville's not big in it? Did Wormtail care when he killed those muggles? No, so what reason do we need other than this is war!" Hermione spilled this all out so quickly, but each of them heard every word.

Harry thought about this for a moment. What if Hermione was right? Maybe Voldemort wanted to get rid of any thret he had. After all, Neville could have been "The Boy Who Lived" if not for Voldemort chosing Harry. Harry knew that Neville could never take Voldemort, that was a for-sure thing. But, did Voldemort himself know this? And Hermione.. Even if she didn't know all about the prophecy, she seemed as though she did. Good ol' Hermione.

Harry looked at Hermione and said firmly, "Let's go."

Hermione nodded, then turned and walked with Harry up to the castle.

Ginny rolled her eyes and grabbed Ron by the arm and dragged him along.

A/N#2: In the next chapter, a new character (the Ravenclaw student) comes into the story. Please tell me what you think of the chapter. Thanks.
