"Morning, Darling!" Draco came into the common room to find Hermione asleep on the couch and Ron right beside her...both of them with books sliding out of their hands.
"Hermione" he said softly. Draco shook her slightly. Hermione slowly awoke. "Oh no what time is it?" she said turning to Malfoy. "9:30 in the morning...did you stay up all night?" he asked slightly concerned.
"Err..yeah...doing um research." Hermione said quickly. "Huh..what?" Ron said waking up. "Oh err..hey Mal..um Draco." Ron said tiredly."Ron" he nodded. "Well Hermione get some rest so we can go on to Hogsmeade today." he smiled.
"Prefect duties call..see you soon love." he said walking out before Hermione could reply. "Hogsmeade...Ron we can't go to Hogsmeade!" Hermione said remembering the letter. "Well we'll have to won't we unless we want Malfoy and Lavender to get suspicious" Ron replied still yawning.
"Right" Hermione sighed. "I'm just so tired and angry, and I just...don't know." Hermione said nearly in tears. "I'm going to go clean myself up, oh and I heard that Dumbledore is away on "business"." "Have you noticed that everytime we need him he's gone?" Hermione said thoughtfully.
Ron watched her go, and wondered if he would ever get a chance to tell her how he felt. He sighed as he got up and walked across the room placing a heavy book back on the table. Hermione's terrified voice as she read the note kept running through his mind.
Ron hit his hand hard on the table in frustration causing a book to fall right on his head from the shelf."Ow!" Ron shouted "Bloody book" he grumbled. Ron rubbed the top of his head angrily as he picked the book up. Ron then noticed how unique this book looked and how he'd never seen it before.
He curiously opened the book its pages ragged and torn with age. He was mysteriosly drawn to it somehow. Ron started to get dazed and his head started pounding with pain. Ron closed his eyes tightly but when he did all he saw was images of a burning house...then he saw a smiling Lucious Malfoy,...then when the pain became intense, he saw Harry and Luna running in fear."No!" Ron gasped.
"Ron what are you doing?" Hermione's voice ranged through the common room. "Hermione?" Ron said shocked Hermione was back so quickly. "Well are you ready?" Hermione asked dressed in jeans and a dark brown overcoat.
"I..I...yes" Ron stuttered he started breaking out in a cold sweat. "How did that much time pass so quickly...what just happened?" "Was this a sign that Ron and Luna were ok?" Ron thought worriedly.
"The book..where is it?" Ron said looking for it frantically."Ron...what book?" Hermione said worriedly. "Hermione listen to me...I think no..I know Harry and Luna are in horrible danger." Ron said his voice shaking.
"This book..it's gone now..it showed me things." Ron said as Hermione listened her eyes widening in fear. "Ron what did you see?" Hermione asked terrified.
"It..was horrible...I..saw fire..b.burning down a house...Lucious Malfoy...and..Harry and Luna running." Ron said struggling through every sentence. He sat down on the couch waringly.
"Oh, Ron!" Hermione said crying hard sitting down beside him. "I can't believe this is happening!" "The book is gone that was our only hope!" she cried. Ron just listened to Hermione cry wondering if that was a sign of hope or something much worse.
"Harry it's f.freezing in here" Luna said slightly shivering. They had been walking down the dark path for awhile their only light source was a glowing piece of shattered glass, Harry had brought with him. "Luna..just stay close to me." Harry said.
"Harry..I have a bad feeling about this." Luna stuttered." Luna this was the only way out...we had no other choice I told you." Harry said his voice full of worry. "There could be..anything in here, or even Voldermort waiting for us at the end." Luna said simply.
"Thanks..Luna I feel so much better now." Harry said smirking. Suddenly they heard a crack within the walls. "What was that?" Luna said quickly, fear in her voice. "I don't know" he grabbed Luna's hand.
"Come on we need to move faster." Harry said pulling Luna along. The wall creaked again threateningly. Luna gasped. "Harry..I.." a thunderous crash interrupted her. "Come on..Harry said breaking into a run. "Harry why are we running!" she gasped.
"Luna did you hear that crash we have to find an end to this walkway." "Before.." suddenly everything started shaking violently."Something bad happens" Luna finished. "Harry wait up!" Luna yelled as Harry was running so fast, she had lost her breath. Luna rested against the wall tiredly her body was nearly shutting down.
Harry looked around Luna wasn't with him, he panicked. "Luna!" he shouted. The walls shook threateningly again. "Oh no.. Luna!" Harry shouted. Luna slid down her body feeling like it weighed a ton. "We've got her." snarled a nasty voice.
"To think they made it all the way down here...now where's Potter I know he's around." another voice snarled. "Good thing that sleeping spell worked on her she didn't notice a thing."
Luna could barely even keep her eyes opened but she knew who they were immediately.
"The death eaters Crabbe and Golye they must have apparated here." Luna thought.
"Shame we have to kill her" Crabbe said.
"You won't touch her!" Harry yelled startling them. "Potter!" they yelled in unison. "Your coming with us..so is the girl!" Goyle grabbed Harry tightly by the arm. "Let go of me!" Harry yelled in anger struggling to free himself.
Crabbe picked Luna up and threw her over his shoulder easily."Luna! If you hurt her..."What are you going to do Potter!" Crabbe snarled. "Apparatum!" Crabbe shouted and they transported just before the walls crashed in.
