Here I am again! I can't believe I already have 42 reviews for this story! You guys rock! Whoever asked me about Harry being seeker, I made a typo. It was supposed to say chaser. Oh, and this chapter is going to move really quickly because I want to get to the main part soon. People will disappear in this chapter! Anyways, I think I'll start now!

"Uh oh," Neville said scared Hermione looked at them, heart-broken, and stormed up to her room.

Rom jumped out of his chair and ran up. Harry looked at them with a smug smile on his face.

"Hermione, wait! You don't know what truly happened," they heard Ron said. When Ron got into her room, she was laying on her bed, her face buried in her pillows. "Hermione, I didn't mean it that way."

She spun her head around. Her eyes were red and puffy. "Oh, so which way did you mean it Ron? How could you not mean it that way!" she said angrily.

"You don't understand. Harry threatened me. Harry doesn't like it that we really like each other. So, he told me to say that in front of them. If I refused, he'd tell you that I said it. I figured it would be better if I said it there, then if you heard it really. I would never, ever say that," Ron said as he looked down at his hands.

She pulled her head out of the pillows again. "Do-do you actually mean that? But…why would Harry make you say that?" she questioned quietly.

"I told you. Harry's jealous of us. He misses being your boyfriend, so he doesn't want you and me to work out. And yes, I truly meant it. Hermione, I…" He said before he was interrupted.

"Ron! Hermione! Get down here!" someone called from below them. They looked at each other alertly. Ron helped Hermione up, and they sped downstairs. Harry was waiting for them.

"Professor Snape just came in and told us that the shadow had attacked again, and that we weren't allowed to come out of our rooms." He said.

"We need to see who it managed to get this time," Ron said as he headed for the door. When they opened it, they saw Hagrid walking by. "Hagrid! What's going on?" Ron shouted.

Hagrid turned around confused. "You three best be getting back into your room now," he said as he began to turn around again.

"Hagrid, we promise we will. Just tell us who it managed to get," Hermione begged.

Hagrid looked like he wasn't at ease. "It got a Ravenclaw. The girl's name is Genevieve Alexander." He said before he walked away again.

"It's getting all these people we know. Why?" Hermione said shakily.

Ron looked around, but you could tell he was scared as well. "There has to be something in common with all of them." He said.

They all nodded nervous, and decided it would be best if they went to bed.

The three friends walked down to the Grand (or is it Great) hall to see it with many more people then it usually had.

"Those other schools must be here for that dance next week," Hermione said. They all groaned. They found an open seat and began to eat breakfast. Ron was in the middle of shoving a chocolate donut into his mouth when someone tapped on his shoulder. He turned…and saw none other than Fleur Delacour.

"Ronald!" she said happily. Ron's eyes opened widely, while Hermione's turned green with jealousy.

"Hi Fleur," Ron managed to choke out.

"Ronald, you have become much more…how do you say it….sexy!" she said, placing an elegant finger on her porcelain colored face.

Ron turned bright red. "Well-erm- thank you?" he said, somewhat asking her.

"Dear Ronald, I would be pleased if you would accompany me to the Halloween ball next Friday." She said as she smiled.

Ron looked like his head was about to explode. He turned to Harry, who smiled, hoping he would say yes so Harry could take Hermione. Ron then turned to Hermione who was pushing something back and forth on her plate. He frowned. He turned to Fleur, who was still smiling as she began to push her white-blond hair out of her face.

"Fleur, I would like to thank you for the invitation, but I'm going to have to decline. I already have a date," Ron said as he looked at Hermione, who was gaping at his surprised.

Fleur looked like she was about to have a temper tantrum. "But, my dear friend Harry has no date." He said, hoping to get Harry a date.

Fleur groaned. "Harry vas the one who paid me to ask you," she said before she stomped off.

Ron angrily turned to Harry. "YOU PAID HER TO ASK ME! I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU!" he said before he jumped up from the table.

Hermione looked at Harry with a sad yet shocked look on her face. "Harry, why?" she said softly before she stood up. She quickly followed Ron.

OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO!

Harry walked slowly to DADA. He took he seat next to Jay. "Somethin' wrong?" Jay asked.

"Friend problems," Harry muttered. Jay smiled empathetically. Harry pulled out his essay on vampires, then placed his head in his hands

Professor Evodrom walked in looking frazzled, and then pulled down a screen. "Professor, what's wrong?" Harry heard someone say.

"I have to go to an emergency teachers meeting, so you will be watching a filmstrip on vampires instead of sharing your essays. Sorry." She said as she rushed out of the room.

Harry raised his eyebrows. He looked over at Hermione and Ron, who were just as confused.

About halfway through the movie, it got very cold in the room. Then, the lights began to flicker, and the windows slammed shut.

Everyone looked around worried. "Something's wrong," Harry said as he stood up. He then saw something dark moving around by one of the walls. He walked over, and placed his hand near it. He fetl himself growing very cold, and very tired. He backed away before he fell over. The thing then erupted off the wall.

"It's the shadow!" someone yelled. Harry whipped out his wand, but it wouldn't stay still in his hands because they were shaking so much.

He watched it fly around the room, knowing it was going to land soon. He saw it then encircle Jay. His eyes opened widely, and tried to move, but it seemed as if his feet were glued down. Jay was then gone, and the entire class was in shock.

I think I'm gonna end it there. I hope you like it, and to tell you, I have all ready started to work on the next chapter, which probably is the most important one. If that's that, BYE!
