CHAPTER SIX- SEARCH AND FIND"Professor? We need to know the truth!" said Harry, with Ron and Ginny behind him. But to their surprise, there was no Dumbledore in there. In Dumbledore's office sat a very angry Severus Snape.
"Potter, what are you doing here? He is not at Hogwarts, as he had urgent business to attend to. Professor Dumbeldore is a very important man in the wizardig world, in case you've noticed."
"Well what are you doing here?" asked Ginny.
"I recommend that you show some manners, Weasley. It is none of your business why I am here. All you need to know is that Professor Dumbledore told me to stay here. Now get to your next class!"
"Yes, Professor," said Harry.
The three students left the headmaster's office without the answers that they came for. All that they knew was that whatever Dumbledore was trying to keep from them, Snape knew about it too. Now they just had to know what they were keeping from them.

I sat in the library, searching through books and texts. I didn't expect to find anything helpful, though. Why would Malfoy keep his personal life in a library? He's not that stupid!
But then I came across a book that said "Greatest Dark Art Defeats of the Twentieth Century." That is definitely not something that Malfoy would have in his personal library. It wasn't even on the schoolbook list. There was something very fishy going on. That much was certain.

"They are hiding something from us," said Ron bluntly.
"Wow, Ron! I could have never figured that one out! Without Hermione, I guess that you're the new brains of the operation," responded Ginny sardonically.
"Shut-up, Ginny. At least I didn't date Michael Corner."
"Well that's because he's not into guys like you are."
"I am not homosexual! If you were smart, you would be able to think of a better comeback than that!"
"Well apparently it was a good comeback, or it wouldn't have hit a nerve like that!"
"At least my name isn't Ginevra!"
"Okay Ronald! You know, Ronald isn't that much better than-"
"Will you two please grow up!" interrupted Harry loudly. "We have more important things to think about than a stupid, petty comment and some comebacks. Hermione's missing, and no one seems to be able to tell us a damn thing about it. Now normally I would have enjoyed you two dunder-heads rip each other's heads off, but right now we have more to think about than that." That last comment was totally true. Harry really does enjoy watch them fight like cats and dogs. It's funny!
"So what do you imply that we do, Mr. Genius?" asked Ginny.
"What? Are you PMSing today, Ginny?" asked Harry as a joke.
Ginny playfully punched him in the shoulder. " Watch it!"
"No you watch it!" responded Harry, punching her lightly back and then tickling her flirtingly.
"Stop it!" said Ginny, giggling.
"No you stop it!"
"No you stop it!"
"No you stop it!"
Ron was sick of their flirting. It was making him sick. Especially if it was his best friend and his sister. He promised to be 90 supportive of their relationship (and 10 insane), but it just didn't seem right to him. Maybe because it was his best friend and his sister. "How about if you both stop it! Harry's right. We need to find Hermione."
"Ron's right. Harry is right about cutting the crap and finding Hermione," said Ginny.
"Ginny! You're so right about Ron being right about how I'm right."
"Harry, you're right about Ginny being right about me being right about you being right about finding Hermione."
"Okay stop it before you sound like the two Duff sisters."

"Malfoy?" I started at that afternoon's lunch. The silence was extremely unbearable. Even if said company was Draco Malfoy.
"Yeah?" he said, not looking up from his plate.
"What is going to happen if Harry and Ron start to look for me? You know as well as I do that they will."
"It doesn't matter if they look for you," responded Malfoy, still not looking up.
"Well why doesn't it matter. They're not stupid."
"Yes they are."
"They most definitely know that I'm here. You're not at school; I'm missing. They know where to look."
"They don't know about the caves. Surely you took that into consideration, Miss Know-It-All."
"Well I guess that you're right. Whatever. This place isn't that bad, besides for the fact that you're here."
Two things: One- The feeling is entirely mutual. And two-well thank you. I try to make this place as nice as I can. It's no Malfoy Manor, though."
Well if this place is small to him, I just have to wonder what Malfoy Manor looks like; not that I would ever be able to see it.
