HARRY'S POV
Under my invisibility cloak, I stormed quickly down the grounds to the lake which was glistening under the pale moonlight. As I reached the lake, I hid behind a giant tree, shielding myself from view of the castle, and removed my cloak.
'What am I going to do? I love Hermione. I would do anything for her. But she's with Ron. Why?'
I sighed and absentmindedly threw a stone into the lake.
'Maybe I'll just have to move on and accept the fact that I can't have her. But I don't want to!' I lean backward against the tree and listen to the distant howl of Fang from Hagrid's cabin.
'Why does it have to be this hard? It was never like this before.' I threw another rock into the lake and watched it skip a few times until it was out of my view.
'I guess that's what I'll do. I'll step aside and let Ron and Hermione be together... At least for right now. Hermione can make up her own mind. If she wants to be with me later on, she can. Right now I just have to let it go.'
I stood from the tree and peeked around the edge; I thought I had heard a noise. Sure enough, I saw Professor Snape hurrying across the grounds, his robes flowing behind him.
"Odd," I whispered out loud. "Wonder where he's going."
I watched from behind the tree as Snape entered the Forbidden Forest.
"What the..." I muttered. Throwing my invisibility cloak back on, I quickly followed after him. Snape was up to something, I could feel it. And when Severus Snape is up to something, it can never be good.
