A/N- Well the next chapter is up just like I promised. I actually wrote this chapter quite a while ago, but I went back and fine-tuned a few things. But this chapter was REALLY enjoyable to write. Getting to write Hermione out of character was loads of fun. I bet you are shaking your head at me. I make Ginny affected; make you think that's what the main plot is about, but then Ginny is cured, just as you find out that Hermione had just been affected. Hey, you get Ginny back at a price! Hehehe.. Really, affecting Hermione out of the trio, made the most sense to me. It was perfect. It would affect everyone in different ways. You would get a sense of Ron's true feelings for Hermione. There is actually more to why I chose Hermione to be affected, but after all I can't give it away. You will have to read to find out. All I can say is that is was vital for the plot to move forward :)
Thanks to all my reviewers-A big thanks to all of my reviewers! You have no idea how happy you've made me!I look foward to all your next reviews:)

P.S.- Please Review! I thrive on it.

Chapter 14- M.A.V.E

Harry raced through the portrait hole a few minutes later and seen that the common room was empty. He was desperately hoping that Ron and Ginny would be down here. But why would they be? Ron thinks Harry had betrayed him, and who knows what Ginny thought anymore. But just then Harry saw Ron rise from one of the couches. It looked as if Ron was laying on the couch, then heard someone come in. He quickly turned around and seen Harry. Harry gasped when he noticed Ron's face was flushed, and he had a black eye. Harry's immediate reaction was to run over by Ron and to ask him what happened. But then he remembered that Ron didn't want anything to do with him. Harry knew he had to go to Ron and make him believe that Hermione had been affected by the Over-Truth Potion but in that moment, Harry's anger was starting build again and he didn't know if he had the strength to fight anymore. He was completely and utterly drained. Harry had the urge to just go up to the boy's dormitory and throw the covers over his head. That thought began to sound more and more appealing, and just as Harry just about to make his way over to the stairs, Ron called after him.

"Harry, wait!" Ron shouted.

Harry turned his head back in surprise. What did he want? Another dueling match?

"Ron, if you want to hit me with another silent curse, don't bother," Harry blurted coldly. He didn't mean to be, but he just couldn't hold back anymore.

But Ron didn't look mad anymore at Harry. He seemed rather sad as he peered at Harry. "Harry, Er- I'm really sorry about what happened today. You got to know that!"

Harry walked closer to Ron. "What, so you don't hate me now? What changed?"

He said in an annoyed tone.

"Harry. I'm sorry. I know what happened between you and Hermione wasn't true, said Ron weakly as she sat back down on the couch.

"So, you actually believe me now! After you gave me a silent curse, you believe me!", Harry said furiously. He never realized how mad he was that Ron had did that to him until now, and that he could believe that he would betray him. He his anger just sort of exploded all over the place.

Ron looked at Harry regretfully in the eyes. "I'm sorry, Harry- about that. I-I don't know what happened. I thought that you-"Ron started to say softly but then his voice trailed off.

Harry was still a little upset, but he realized they could deal with this later. They had more important things to worry about. What changed Ron's mind? What actually convinced him that Harry hadn't betrayed him?

"So what happened?" asked Harry. "Why do you suddenly believe me now?"

Ron looked at him. Then there was a moment of silence. "Not after what happened tonight," Ron mumbled gloomily, as he buried his face into his hands.

Harry walked over by Ron and sat down next to him. What could have happened to make Ron believe him? He guessed that Hermione must have started to show more symptoms. That had to be the case.

"What happened tonight, Ron?" Harry asked directly.

"That's the problem. I don't even know what happened! Hermione, she got rather- mean- tonight. Me, Hermione and Ginny were in the common room earlier tonight, and we were working on some homework. Everything was fine. And then we get in this bloody huge fight! You know like always. Then she just decked me! Right in my left eye! And then she- she- laughed Harry. Said she would put a stop to our fighting once and for all. Er -and then she got up and ran off out the portrait hole. Ginny heard the whole thing. She went after her to see if she could see what was wrong. She found her sitting at the Hupplepuff table with Susan Bones. She said she didn't feel like talking exactly then. It wasn't convenient for her or something. She had- some things to take care of apparently," Ron finished. "I've never seen Hermione act like this before," he added.

Harry didn't say anything. Then, Ron stared up at Harry.

"Hermione is affected by the Over-truth Potion, isn't she?"said Ron, horrified.

"I think so," Harry said.

Then Ron got up and started pacing. "What are we gonna do? Why did Hermione have to be affected? We have to do something Harry. We got too!"

"Ron calm down! The reason I came back in the common room tonight was because I came down here to tell you and Ginny the very same thing. We are going to help Hermione!"

Ron stopped pacing. "But how?"

"Remember, Ron, There's an antidote?"

"Oh yeah! But how are we going to bloody make it? We don't know any of the ingredients!"

"I know- but- wait, Hermione has the book! It's probably up in the girl's dormitory!" Harry recalled.

"Ron's eyes lit up. "We could have Ginny sneak up there and get it!"

"Brilliant Ron! Now, the only other problem we have is actually making the potion. Hermione herself said it would be difficult making it. All three of us, myself, you and Ginny would have to help. Is Ginny up to doing this? Is she still-"

"She will help, Harry. She's starting to feel better, I think. And she believes you to Harry. Don't worry, "Ron smiled.

Harry smiled. He was so relieved to know that Ginny believed him now.

"Where's Ginny now, Ron?"

"She was going to wait here with me, but she got really tired. She went up to bed."

"First thing in the morning over breakfast, we tell Ginny our plan. Tomorrow she has to somehow steal that book from Hermione. She might have to use the invisibility cloak," said Harry.

"Let's hope this works," said Ron in a panicked voice. Then Ron had a guilty look on his face. "Er- Harry everything's all right with you, you know after what I did-"

"I'm fine Ron. I understand why you, er- It's okay. Besides, we have more important things we have to worry about now."

Ron gave Harry a half smile, and Harry smiled back. He had a feeling Ron was going to need it. Harry knew how it felt to have someone you really had strong feelings for want nothing to do with you.

"Where were you tonight, Harry? You missed getting the new schedule. Wait till you see it. I picked you up one." Ron said as he pointed to a piece of parchment laying on the table in front of them.

"Thanks. I'll have a look at it later. But about tonight-er- It's a long story. I hope your not tired Ron, because I have loads to tell you, "Harry told him frankly.

"Let's hear it then!" Ron said as they sat on one of the couches as Harry retold the events of what happened.

The next morning at breakfast, Harry, Ron and Ginny were sitting in the great hall at a secluded part of the table, so they could talk in private. Since it was a Sunday, not too many people were in the great hall. Probably only about a dozen people besides them. Harry and Ron had gotten up early, probably because neither of them could really sleep. Last night in the common Harry had told Ron everything that happened to him, from his talk with Lupin when he woke up in the hospital (Ron had a guilty look on his face) to when he went to Hagrid's and remembered that he found Professor Harmone's necklace which turned out to be a Revealer. And the most important thing: how he got sucked into Harmone's memories. Harry explained everything to Ron in great detail. Ron had looked pretty confused. But he was laughing pretty hysterically when Harry told him about Snape's feelings for Professor Harmone. Ron couldn't help but think it was hilarious but disturbing that Snape had a crush on his brother's girlfriend. But Ron had come up with the same conclusion. It looked like Professor Harmone could be guilty, and maybe she was working for Voldermort. Harry remembered how Ron recalled something Hermione had said.

"Hermione was right about Harmone! She never trusted her! We should've listened to her!" Ron had cried sadly last night.

But Harry still hadn't told him about his run-in with Snape and Professor Dumbledoore. He told Ron how Snape pulled out his wand, and if it hadn't been for Dumbledoore Snape probably would have cursed Harry. Then he told Ron about the chat he and Dumbledoore had, and how Dumbledoore denied being Harmone's uncle, and how he should trust Professor Harmone, simply because he trusts her.

Then Harry had said. "Yeah well, Dumbledoore trusts Snape and he hates me, and I'm pretty sure he would have killed me last night."

Ron didn't say anything, but Harry knew what he was thinking. Harry knew that he egged Snape on, and that's why Snape had gotten so mad.

Harry also told Ron that it was up to them to attempt the antidote to cure Hermione, because Dumbledoore made it clear that Harry had to do it by himself. So Harry and Ron were prepared to tell Ginny their plan. And now here there were at breakfast, ready to ask Ginny. But Harry was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Ron looking at him.

"Harry? Ya think we should ask Ginny, now?" whispered Ron. But Ginny heard and looked confused.

"Ask me what?"Said Ginny her eyebrow raised.

"Oh, er-"Harry started to say. But then Harry and Ron quickly told Ginny the events of what happened to Harry, and how it was up to them to make the antidote to cure Hermione. And that Ginny needed to sneak up to Hermione's room to get the book.

"Why would you even have to ask?" said Ginny frowning. "Hermione is my friend, too."

Harry and Ron exchange glances, and smiled.

"I don't know, I didn't know if you would feel up to it. Er-we didn't know how you were feeling," Harry mumbled.

Ginny smiled. "I'm actually feeling a lot better today. I know it's only been a day since I've come out of it, but I feel, less confused. I mean I'm not a hundred percent, and I don't really remember what happened, but you two don't have to worry about me. I just want to help Hermione. I don't want her to go through the same thing I did. It's a pretty empty feeling," She replied.

Harry and Ron looked at Ginny sympathetically. They didn't really know what to say to her. Harry hated to see Ginny like this. He felt pangs in his heart and spread throughout his entire body. But what could he possibly say to her that could help her?

"I just have one question, though. Since Hermione isn't talking to any of us, and she's up there now, she'll probably kick me out her room or something. How am I gonna steal it, if I can't even get in her room?" Blurted Ginny, curiously.

"Well that's simple, Ginny. You'll be under Harry's invisibility cloak, "Ron told Ginny.

Ginny's eyes lit up. "Cool. I kind of always wanted to go under that thing," she said with a small smile.

Just then the door to the great hall opened and Harry noticed Snape walk in. He was back to his black on black, death like look again, greasy hair too. Snape immediately noticed Harry and looked as if he was so furious he would just pull out his wand right there. Snape just stared as Harry as he walked toward the head table toward Dumbledoore. Harry probably figured he was going to complain to Dumbledoore that Harry hasn't been expelled after what yesterday between them.

"So when do you think I should go get the book?" said Ginny to Harry and Ron while drinking some pumpkin juice.

"Er, well even though your going under the invisibility cloak, I think it would be a good idea if we wait till Hermione is out of her room, so me and Ron can keep an eye on her, "Said Harry. "We'll sit in the common room. I'll have the invisibility cloak with us. We'll wait until Hermione comes down. Then you can sneak up to her room," Stated Harry.

"Yeah. She sure can't stay up there forever," added Ron crankily.

In the common room, a few hours later, Hermione hadn't come down yet. Harry, Ron, and Ginny pretended to be doing their homework. Ron looked to be reading a book for Professor Weil's class, but Harry was sure that he probably reading something else hidden under it. Ginny was reading a book, and Harry was pretending to work on an essay for Potions. But Harry couldn't concentrate. He kept looking over at Ginny. He felt really bad for her. He couldn't be gladder that she was there back with them and cured. But sitting with her in the common room and just looking at her, the memories of her with Malfoy flooded in his brain and have come back to haunt him. He knew he couldn't hold Ginny responsible for actions she couldn't control and that she couldn't t even remember either, but it seemed no matter what he did those same damn images of her with Malfoy came rapidly into his brain. Ginny then looked up from her book, and noticed that Harry was looking at her. She gave Harry a smile, but Harry wasn't sure what kind of smile it was. It was unclear. Just then Ron slammed his book shut.

"We've been down her forever! Hermione hasn't even come down here yet!"

Ginny rolled her eyes."Don't you have any patience, Ron?"

"Patience, Ginny? We've been sitting here for three hours, waiting for Hermione to come in here. Did it occur you that maybe she isn't even coming in here? Remember she hates us now?" Ron said grumpily.

Perhaps Ron was right. Hermione probably was no where near them. She was probably off somewhere spewing more lies about them, or throwing punches at people

"All right, Ron's probably right. Ginny. I think you just go now, said Harry as he pulled the invisibility cloak out from under in his Knapsack He handed it to Ginny. "Look for the book as fast as you can, grab it and get out.", Stated Harry.

Ginny smiled. "I got it, Harry."

"We'll be down here waiting," added Harry. Ginny then put the invisibility cloak and disappeared up the stairs.

"I sure hope Ginny finds that book, "Ron blurted.

"She will," Said Harry.

"I can't imagine living for weeks without talking to Hermione. I can't believe this is happening," Ron said gloomily.

"Don't worry Ron, Ginny will find the book, and we will start making the potion by tomorrow, "said Harry said "Speaking of tomorrow, did you check out on the new schedule that Magical Care Creatures is inside on the third floor? I thought that class was outside," said Ron.

"Yeah, but it probably has something to do with the new rules. I bet they don't want any of the students outside anytime of day," suggested Harry.

Just then the portrait hole opened and came in Hermione holding a box.

They couldn't let Hermione go upstairs, so they had to try to talk to her. But then Harry realized that wasn't a good idea, because Ginny could be back down here any minute, and take off the invisibility cloak and find out that they stole the book from her room. But before Harry could signal to Ron, Ron called after Hermione who walked straight past them as if they were invisible, headed for the girl's dormitory.

"Hermione!" Ron shouted standing up.

Hermione stopped in her tracks and turned around, looking deeply annoyed. "What do you want, Ron? You better make it quick. I have things to do, "Hermione said nastily.

"Er- I just want to talk to you," Ron blurted as walked over by her.

But Hermione didn't say a word. She just stood there, holding a box, smirking greatly. But at the same time acting, like she wasn't even paying attention to Ron.

"Well I really don't see what we have left to talk about. Ever again. Besides, I don't have time for you," She sneered.

"Hermione stop! You know this isn't you!" Ron shouted angrily.

But Hermione chuckled. "The only thing that wasn't me was allowing myself to be so utterly ridiculous- Then she stopped for a moment. "But I don't want to dwell on things that aren't important. There's better things in my life then just waste it sitting around waiting for- you." Then she looked over at Harry for a minute. "Any of you. We''ll this was fun, wasn't it? But I really got to go," She said with such a superiority to her voice.

Ron looked really hurt. But he didn't say anything.

"Wait. I do want to thank you though," added Hermione before she left.

"For what?" asked Ron.

"Oh, I have a feeling you'll find out soon enough," she cooly with a small grin. She then re-situated the box she was carrying her in her hands, as she headed up for the girl's dormitory.

Ron's had a very confused look on his face. As did Harry. What on earth was she talking about?

Ron walked back by Harry and sat back down on the couch. He looked really frustrated and hurt.

"I swear, Ginny better find that book!" Ron groaned.

"I just hope that Ginny was out of there so Hermione doesn't catch with her up there. That wouldn't be good," Said Harry.

"That's for sure," Ron agreed.

Then all of a sudden Ginny appeared in front of them.

"Ginny? Your back?"Said Ron.

"How long have you been back for?"added Harry. "Did you get the book?"

Ginny smiled, and reveled that she was carrying the book in her hands. Harry looked at it. It was definitely the same book that they found in the Secret Section that day.

"Calm down you guys. I got it. I've been down here for about a minute. I walked down here quietly. I didn't know who'd be in the common room when I came back down here. I saw Hermione before standing by the stairs. So I waited till she passed, "Ginny said while she handed the invisibility cloak back to Harry as she sat down on the couch next to him.

"So how'd it go up there? Was anyone up there?"Asked Harry.

"Yeah. Lavender and Pavarotti were up there. But they didn't hear me. I was surprised to find that the book was right on top on Hermione's night table. So I grabbed it, but then I heard them talking about Hermione, so I- kinda listened," said Ginny.

"Well, what were they saying?" Said Ron.

"Uh- I guess how Hermione and Susan Bones are spending all this time together, and how Hermione didn't come back last night until really late, and that they were both carrying these big boxes all over."

"Yeah. She was carrying one just now. Do you know what they're up to?" asked Harry.

Ginny shook her head. "They didn't know. But I guess it some kind of project they're working on. But they also said- they said," But Ginny's voice trailed off and her face was blushed.

"What?" Said Harry and Ron.

"Well, they said that well at the Ball after Susan Bones admitted- well you know what happened, and you rejected her because- because of-"

Harry felt his face turn bright red. Harry knew what she was going to say next, but she never did.

"But she said that after she slapped her, you went and made your move on Hermione. Everyone still thinks that. But the new rumor is that, you Ron, after you found out Harry kissed her, you were so jealous that you went after Susan Bones, and actually forced yourself on her, so Hermione would walk in on you and see you, and that's why she punched you. It's all over the school," Ginny said slowly.

Ron's mouth dropped. Harry's was too.

"She said what?"Said Ron."She's mad. I'll tell you!"

Ginny had a flustered look on her face. "Ron, you can't forget It's not exactly Hermione's fault. She has no control over what she's doing. Trust me. I- I don't remember anything that I did."

Ron shook his head. " Sorry, Ginny. I just can't believe this is bloody happening!"shouted Ron in a irritable voice. "We have to cure, Hermione", Ron added desperately.

"We will Ron. We have the book now. Let's find out what ingredients we need to make the antidote, "said Harry.

They put the book between the three of them and found the page.

"Here!" Said Ginny. "The Over-Truth Potion lets you act out your deepest desires and most hidden thoughts. Although, this only the first and most short-lived symptom of the potion that lasts for but a brief moment. It accompanies untrue feelings, and outrageous, false behaviors. It changes a person's true personality and the person affected is not aware, and will believe this is how they think and feel. The persons affected by this highly destructive potion may appear to be the opposite of their true self."

But then Ginny stopped reading. Harry had a feeling why.

"What's wrong, Ginny?" asked Ron.

"It's nothing. It's just that I know you explained what basically happened to me, but it's different actually reading about it. It's like it really happened. I really did things. Bad things. But I can't remember, "Said Ginny looking at the page.

"It's okay, Ginny, "Harry gave her a small smile. Ginny kept on reading.

"The Over-truth Potion is a potion that should almost never be brewed, only in the most desperate of situations. It's mostly brewed for immoral reasons of personal gain like revenge, intense dislike or hate of a person. Or in rare instances as that are meant for good as to be used as a last resort to change a person's behavior when so destructive it's necessary to do so, since it creates the opposite personality. If brewed, one must tread with caution, for its tendency for to create such destructive consequences. No other potion exists with its capability to induce such havoc.

No underage wizards should ever attempt to make this potion, even under extreme circumstances. If for a last resort, there is an antidote that will reverse the effects of the potion and restore the person to their true selves. Only wizards with extensive knowledge and experience should attempt to conjure the potion or the antidote"

Ingredients for the Anti-Potion are Fluxweed, knotgrass, beet root, beetle essence, willy weed, and shredded skin of a boomslang. Once all the ingredients are mixed, it has to simmer for three weeks."

"Three weeks!" shouted Ron. It's gonna take three weeks!"

"Ron, that's not even our biggest problem! Some of these ingredients, I've never heard of them. Fluxweed, knotgrass, beet root and beetle essence. Those we won't have any problem with. If I'm not mistaken, we can get them out of the school cupboard. But willy weed, and shredded skin of boomslang, I have no idea what they are or where we can get them, "Ginny said.

"Great! Now what are we gonna do!" Shouted Ron.

"Wait! "Said Harry. Remember the Polyjuice Potion, Ron! We turned into Crabbe and Goyle?"

"How could I forget?"

"Right. Well I remember that the shredded skin of boomslang, we stole from Snape's office. So I'm betting that and the willy weed would be in there too. So that's where will have to go to get the other ingredients, "Harry said.

But that was about the last place that Harry wanted to go. If Snape caught them, he would probably pull out his wand right there. But it didn't matter. They needed the ingredients as soon as possible. It would take three weeks to make. They didn't have time to waste.

"I think we should try for tomorrow during the day. Maybe when Snape's in class. If we do it at night, they'll be greater risk getting caught, "Suggested Harry.

"Okay," said Ginny as she closed the book. I'll keep this book in a safe place," she added.

"Thanks, "said Harry.

Ron got up. "I'm going to lie down. I'll see you guys later, "Ron said irritably as he grabbed his stuff and went up to the boy's dormitory.

Great, thought Harry, as Ginny looked at him. Suddenly, all Harry could picture in his mind were Malfoy's hands all over Ginny, and Harry suddenly felt ill. He couldn't sit next to her anymore. He had to leave.

"What's wrong, Harry? "Said Ginny.

"Er-nothing. I'm fine. I'm going to take my stuff upstairs. I'll see you later," Harry blurted as he grabbed his invisibility cloak and books and ran up to the boy's dormitory.

The next morning, Harry and Ron had Magical Care of Creatures Class, and were supposed to meet Professor McGonagall in the corridor right outside the common room to be escorted to class, but Harry, Ginny, and Ron got too caught up in their plan to break in Snape's office later that day, and were running a few minutes late. Ginny ran to catch up with her class, as Harry and Ron and seen a few people in their class and joined them in the hallway. As Ginny walked away toward her class, Harry couldn't help but watch her. Harry had gotten upset the night before because he couldn't get the images out of his mind of her and Malfoy. But when he thought about it last night before he fell asleep, he decided it really didn't matter anymore. It was still hard thinking about her being with Malfoy, but Ginny had no blame in this. She had no control. Sure things are a little awkward between them, but nothing had changed. Harry still had deep feelings for Ginny, now more than ever. It scared him, how deep they ran through his entire body.

Harry must have completely zoned out, because he noticed Snape was standing in front of him and the few other students, and it looks like he had been for some time.

"It's nice that you two finally decided to join the rest of the class," Snape hissed at Harry and Ron. "The rest of the class has gone ahead, escorted by Professor McGonagall. I am here for the- leftovers" Snape added looking at Harry, his eyes cold as ice. Harry just glanced at Snape, but a moment later he stormed down the hallway and growled at them to follow.

Harry then noticed something rather bizarre. He didn't really give it anther thought until he saw the same thing coming from across the corridor. He saw few girls ahead of him walking. Two of them had a huge stack of fliers in their hands, and the other was carrying a small box in her hands, but he couldn't see what was in it. That went the same for a group of girls across the hallway, except all the girls were carrying boxes and fliers. Harry happened to look up at the wall, and seen a banner floating magically in the hallway. It said. "M.A.V.E." Harry had no idea what that meant, but something suspicious was going on here. He was about to ask Ron if he noticed any of these things, when a group of about a dozen girls came running down the corridor, shouting, "M.A.V.E! M.A.V.E!", over and over again. They were throwing flyers out all over the hallway, and each girl had a box, which they then reached into, and started handing out pins to every girl. The girls who had seemed unaware of what was going on suddenly smiled and laughed, and then put the pins on, and grabbed a stack of flyers themselves. "M.A.V.E! M.A.V.E!" the group of a dozen girls chanted over again, as they looked for more girls to hand the pins out too.

Ron gave Harry a very puzzled glance, and Harry was just as clueless as him. What the hell was going on here? Snape looked absolutely furious.

"All right! Stop here. I will put a stop to this!"He shouted to Harry and the others. He ran after the group of girls in the hallway.

"What are you doing??"Harry could hear Snape's voice roar down the hallway.

Just as Harry was about to ask Ron what was happening, the girl standing in front of him turned around wearing about five pins on her robe. He now knew what was on the pins. M.A.V.E. was at the top of the pin, and below it was an image of Seamus Finningan with an X his face. He looked at the pin below it. Dean Thomas's Face with an X through it. The next one was- er- of himself, with an X through his face. The girl noticed and shot him a smirk. Harry was about to point this out to Ron, but just then four girls walked down the hallway looking very pleased. They were each holding a box in their hand. It was Hermione. Along with Cho Chang, Susan Bones, and Pansy Parkinson.

"There's Hermione!" Ron shouted as he noticed her passing them by. "What the bloody hell is going on Harry?" Ron added looking greatly fazed.

"This must be Hermione's doing. Remember yesterday, er- she was holding that box? This must be it. What she had planned," Harry told Ron. But he still wasn't entirely sure what was going on. All he knew Hermione had come up with something that was causing a lot of chaos with the girls in the school. But what exactly was M.A.V.E?

"I guess we know what she meant by saying we would soon find out what she was up to!"Ron blurted looking at the girls acting psychotically in the hallway. They were throwing around buttons, and flyers were being hurled all over the place.

Hermione then smirked at Ron and Harry before she turned the corner down the hall. Harry then seen Snape storming back toward them. He looked beyond furious.

"Stop this right instantly" Snape roared at everyone. But only the boys seemed to hear, and all the girls were scattering around in the corridor acting fiercely mad.

"Don't make me say it again!"Snape added viciously. But no one of the girls seemed to be paying attention. They were picking up as many flyers as they could off the ground, got together as one big group and started heading down the other end of the corridor.

"All right, I see you all want to be expelled! Now let's see what you have to say about-" Snape started to say. But he didn't exactly get to finish.

"M.A.V.E! M.A.V.E! M.A.V.E! M.A.V.E!", was all Harry could hear being echoed through the halls. Dozens of girls came screaming down the hallway, each wearing at least a dozen pins, all holding up signs that read M.A.V.E, in the air. They were storming in packs down the corridor!

Harry and Ron exchanged horrified glances. This was OUT OF CONTROL. He had never seen anything like this in his life. Harry saw Snape trying to stop the girls from running down the hallway, but there was just too many. They were coming from all different directions too. Then Harry spotted Hagrid and Charlie running toward them from behind.

"Harry, Ron!" Hagrid called out right next to them. Charlie was standing right beside Hagrid.

"Hagrid!" Harry shouted.

"Charlie!"Ron cried.

"Things, are out of control!", Harry blurted looking at Hagrid.

"Yea, I kind er picked up on that, Harry," Hagrid told him breathing heavily.

"What are we going to do?"Ron asked horrified.

Charlie looked around the corridor quickly and then at Harry and Ron. "Go back to your common room. That seems like the safest thing to do right now. We're just going to have to try and control the situation as best we can," he said in a frustrated voice. Harry looked at him for a brief moment. Charlie did not look good. Even though Harry still held Harmone as the most likely suspect, Harry knew how deeply Charlie cared for Harmone. After all, he saw into Harmone's memories. He had seemed them together. Charlie must be miserable knowing that Harmone was missing.

"Well I don't see how your going to put a stop to this!" Ron said.

Harry could still hear Snape voice booming down the corridor. "Stop this nonsense!"

"You better go," Charlie then said in a very serious tone.

"You two! Be carful!" Hagrid warned them.

Harry and Ron shook their heads. As they turned around to make a dash for the common room, they just realized that getting back there was not going to be easy. Things had just turned into a war zone.
