Interlocking Chains Chapter 3: Locking the Second Chain, Dropping the Third

How can they say that? Because it's true said a small voice in Ron's head. It is not. I do not think my sister can replace me, because she can't. I have put my mark on this friendship. Marks can be erased Shut up! I'm not listening to you. You'll have to eventually when all your friends leave you They won't. They will, they don't need you anymore. Look at them, sitting together in front of the fire. It's not enough he's moving in on your sister but your girl too Why would he do that? Ron, defeated, walked to his bed and laid down trying to get rid of the pain in his heart.

Ginny laid in her bed. Why was I so mean to her? She didn't deserve that. Yes she did. She was taking Draco No she wasn't. She doesn't like him. What make you think that? When has she ever shown extreme dislike? She hit him in their 3rd year. Wow, you could hit guys to, does that mean you hate them? He'd called her a mudblood. So did youGinny cried herself to sleep.

Hermione went to bed thinking. Draco would never be mean to me like that for no reason. He never has been, he was always provoked. Why did he pick now to act like this?

The Next Day

Hermione saw Ron sitting at the table eating in the Great Hall. "Hey Ron."

"Hermione."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm perfect."

"No you not."

Ron looked at Hermione with an evil gleam. "I'm fine, if only we could REPLACE you with a mime."

"How do you know what a mime is?"

What is a mime? Ron asked himself. You're not dumb, you know what a mime is, why else would you say it? "I know what a mime is Hermione. I'm not dumb. Why else would I say mime if I didn't know what it meant?", Ron said as if spitting venom.

"Ron what's wrong with you?", said Hermione tears quickly building up.

"Save your tears Hermione. You can REPLACE ME with someone who cares.", he turned and walked away, but under his breath said, "Ginny sounds perfect for the job." Hermione heard him and gasped.

She ran out of the hall and straight into Draco.

"Oh, watch in Granger."

"Sorry.", she mumbled looking down.

"Granger, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"You're lying, normally you have some retort to what I say."

"I'm not lying Malfoy."

"Yes you are. What's wrong?"

"Why do you care! Huh? Wasn't it last night you were calling me a mudblood and saying I was filth!"

"Granger, what in bloody hell are you talking about? I never say you last night after you ran out of the Great Hall?"

"You liar. You know what you said to me."

"I swear to you on all that is Merlin, I did not call you filth.", he said looking her straight in her eyes.

Ginny stood in the shadows listening to Draco and Hermione interact.

"Malfoy, I know it was you. Who else..." Hermione gasped. "Polyjuice.", she whispered.

"Polyjuice, what's that?"

"It's a spell that when used with something belonging to a person, you change into them.""What do you mean?"
"Like hair, skin, blood, I guess anything that's human can be used. You change for one hour at a time.", Hermione spoke very quickly. She began mumbling trying to figure out what was happening to her.

Ginny wanted to slam her head against the wall. Hermione's not stupid I should have known she'd figure it out. But you didn't, you let her find out. You must not have been mean enough, you should have found something to make her never want to speak to Draco again. You have failed No! She'll never find out I did it. Never because I won't let her.
