Gone

Harry found himself in the same hallway that he had been in numerous times before. It was still misty and very dark. Hermione was right; he had to be happy before he could enter this bizarre but interesting place. Harry walked down the hallway at a fairly quick pace; he knew what door he wanted to go into this time. Finally, Harry reached his own door. Harry just wanted to know what was going to happen to him in these next few days to come. He opened the door and found himself in the Great Hall. Harry was somewhat disappoint because he could have predicted that he was going to be in the Great Hall. With Ron as a friend, you never missed a meal or even a snack for that matter.

He found himself with Ron at the Gryffindor table. They looked like they were exhausted. Almost like that had pulled an all nighter every day of the month.

"Harry," a tired Ron said, "Can't I just go to sleep! I'll be back for dinner and then we can continue with whatever we're supposed to be looking for."

"Ron! Don't you remember what Hermione said? Never give up until you have completed your mission! And Ron, we definitely have a huge mission on our hands. And I'm not going to give up now. We have to find…"

And with that Harry was back out in the Hallway. What a terrible way to end one of those dreams. He tried going back inside to see what they were supposed to find, but the door wouldn't open. This was very frustrating.

Harry continued walking down the hallway until he found the second door that he wanted to go in. Harry reached Hermione's door and immediately opened it. For a second, Harry thought that he was still in the hallway. It was very misty and you could hardly see anything. Harry started walking just to see if the fog ever ended. It didn't. Suddenly he felt something at his foot, almost like he had ran into something or someone. He knelt down to see what it was. What Harry saw sent shivers up his spine. He wanted to scream or yell, but it felt like he couldn't find his voice. He was looking at a cold and lifeless body of Hermione Granger.

Harry woke up sweating. He sat bolt upright and saw Ron looking at him like he had three heads.

"What's the matter, mate?" Ron said.

"Where's Hermione?" Harry didn't care where he was or what time it was. He just needed to know that Hermione was safe.

"Last time I checked she was having breakfast in the Great Hall. Why, you want to go and snog her in front of everyone?" Ron thought he was being funny, "She was waiting for you, but I told her that you were still sleeping."

Harry jumped up from his bed and pulled his robes on over his pajamas. He raced though the portrait hole and down to the Great Hall. People were looking at him like he was insane as he passed them in the hallways. As he was about to enter the Great Hall he ran right into Hermione as she was coming out.

"Hey Harry!" Hermione greeted him with a smile and a kiss.

"Bloody hell! Thank God your alive, I mean okay."

"What?" Hermione's smile drifted off her face.

"Oh I had this dream last night. But, it doesn't matter now that you're okay." Harry didn't care now that he saw a lifeless Hermione in his dream. She was with him now and it made him feel like nothing horrible could go wrong.

"Was I in you dream?"

Harry recounted his dream events to Hermione as they headed back to the Common Room. Hermione looked frightened.

"Harry what if this comes true? You said yourself that your dreams tell what's going to happen!"

"I know that's what I'm worried about. That's why I want to be with you every second so I can make sure that nothing will happen to you."

"Harry I can take care of myself, but that's very sweat of you."

He put his arm around her as they continued walking back to the Common Room.

They entered the Common Room and found Ron at a table. The three of them sat down at the table. Ron kept giving Harry and Hermione funny looks. He couldn't stop laughing to himself. They began doing their homework because not only did they have a lot to catch up on, but the weather was terrible. It was too cold and rainy to go outside.

The three of them had a lot of laughs throughout the day. Harry's mind was completely taken off his whole dream. Before dinner Hermione got up to go to the bathroom. They agreed to meet her down in the Great Hall for dinner.

Harry and Ron began to walk downstairs about fifteen minutes later. When they got to the Great Hall, Hermione was nowhere in sight.

"Maybe she's having stomach problems or it's just that time of the month again," Ron was trying to make an excuse for why Hermione wasn't out of the bathroom yet.

Harry just gave him a look that meant "Shut Up!" They sat down in their usual seats at the Gryffindor table. Ten more minutes went by and Hermione still wasn't there.

"I'm going to make sure that Hermione's okay," Harry sounded worried.

"Okay, but don't make her made when you don't let her have her personal space," Ron said as he shoved mashed potatoes in his mouth.

Harry began to walk to the bathroom. He had been in a girl's bathroom before, so he wasn't uncomfortable when he went into it.

"Hermione? Are you in here?"

"She's not here…" it was Moaning Myrtle.

"Hey Myrtle, where's Hermione?"

"I saw her come in her but I never saw her go out. But I could be wrong…"

Harry ran out of the bathroom, it can't be coming true. Harry searched every possible place that Hermione would be. She wasn't in the library, any of the other bathrooms, the Common Room, or her bedroom. Harry had an unsettling know in his stomach. His worst nightmare was coming true.


Sorry about the long wait. I'm going to out another chapter up soon. Please review!
