September 8

Head's Room

Just got back from Breakfast where I tried to have an intellectual conversation. I can't believe people still won't listen to my S.P.E.W comments. Doesn't anyone care about house elf abuse? Honestly, some people just don't have any common sense!! Although I did have a nice screaming match with Malfoy over my comments. I won the debate about elf rights by a large margin according to the audience we gathered. I've never even seen him pour a glass of milk by himself. Ron, though, stayed by my side and supported my side of the debate, which was very sweet of him. Malfoy was gagging at the sight of us, completely immature, then I showed him my fist and asked if he would like a repeat of third year. He immediately stopped, I'm happy to say. I don't know where I would be without Ron------------Someone has gotten out! Someone broke out of the Great Hall!!!

We don't know how.....but someone broke out of the Great Hall. No one is sure why he attempted such a thing, especially through the front door where he could be such an easy target.

I can't explain the damage. I was about to cry when I saw him being taken in. The poor boy's body was almost ripped to shreds. We can't cover him up because every time we try, he screams in pain. Those screams....

If someone hadn't found out he was missing, that Dementor's Kiss would've killed him. He's barely hanging onto life. We're trying to do everything we can, but he probably will die. I heard he couldn't take staying here, either that or he wanted to show what kind of a man he is. And looked what it cost him. I knew that this would be trouble but he's a child, I must go help.

He just died.

Those screams.....I think this is Voldemort declaring war.

September 9

Those screams.....I had to had Ron comfort me all through last night. I bet Malfoy had a field day while I was gone. One of these days I'm going to put him in a binding spell and not release him for a whole day. Who ever said I couldn't be a rebel? After breakfast I sat with Ginny.

"He died." were the first words that came out of my mouth. "Only a first year I found out." I sighed. "Why would a first year be killed?" We didn't know the answer but that didn't keep me from asking the question. Malfoy was with his usual group only a few feet away. "If it weren't for people like him, we wouldn't have to talk about this." I said a bit loudly. He looked up but I had already turned back to Ginny.

"What do you think of Malfoy?" I asked her. "Honestly?"

"I don't like his personality." Ginny said. "But..." Always a but when it comes to her. She leaned in, "He's not bad looking," My jaw dropped.

"You think he's hot?" I questioned quietly. She nodded.

"I know...I'm suppose to hate him, but come on! Look at him!"

"I suppose..." I said boredly. Ginny sighed.

"I swear...Hermione, looking at another guy won't kill you."

"But it could ruin a relationship." I pointed out. I happened to be very happy with Ron, it took us forever, and I mean literally forever for us to get together, I'm not ruining it now. Ginny didn't know how to answer that. I smiled a bit, I loved winning debates or conversations. Slowly a buzz went through the groups of people, apparently we might move during the night. No clue where but I agree that we can't stay here forever. Must continue later, Dumbledore is calling for me.

Turns out only Malfoy and I are the only ones going anywhere for the moment. As we walked in to the teacher's room, we looked at each other, neither of us knew what to expect. He smirked at the fact that I had snuck in there and still hadn't confessed it to them. Most of our core teachers were there, talking in what seemed to be a deep discussion. Malfoy coughed. They suddenly stopped and looked up.

"Ahh....Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore spoke gravely as he mentioned us to sit down. "As you know, Hogwarts is under lock down." He looked at us and we nodded. "There is nothing we can really do except wait unfortunately. Not to mention we aren't certain about who is behind this. We feel you two are exceptional students and have an incredible talent with magic so we are going to ask something of you. Do not feel obligated to undertake this, but as we all know the ministry will not figure out this mystery in time." Malfoy and I nodded. "We feel since Mr. Malfoy's father is a death eather, he could have information about this."

"Excuse me professor." I started. "How do we know Malfoy isn't a Death Eater himself or if he isn't, then how do we know he won't switch sides or become spy?" Malfoy glared at me. I glared at him back. I was not going to risk my life.

"Ms. Granger, I can assure you that Mr. Malfoy isn't a Death Eater. And I can put a charm, that will prevent him from switching sides or spying if you would like." I smiled.

"Yes, I would like that very much." Dumbledore smiled while I could see Snape rolling his eyes but Dumbledore continued.

"Ms. Granger, you would be transformed, not much but so much the Lucious wouldn't recognize you and you would have a different name." I nodded. "You both would be transported to the Malfoy mansion. Your father, if he knows about this attack, wouldn't be surprised if we sent the students back to their respective families. Mr. Malfoy you would say we have done just that and Ms. Granger is to tag along as a friend or companion of sorts. The reason being is so that your father will let you have one room. Now I know this doesn't seem like the best thing but if you had two rooms and you constantly met with each other, it could raise suspicions. The purpose of this is to find out anything you can. I remind you again, you have a choice. If you should take this on, you run the risk of being caught, possibly death. He looked at us. Death. We could possibly die if we take this on. I looked at Malfoy. He looked at me. We were asking each other, are you going to take this on?

"Can I think on it? It won't be long, but I have people who will be worried about me." Dumbledore nodded.

"Thank you." I said. I had to talk to Ron, Harry, and Ginny over this. I was excused from the teacher's room and I walked quickly to Ron's room first, knocking on the door. No answer. Strange, he should be there because it was getting pretty late. Turning the doorknob, it was unlocked, even stranger. I dared to look inside, had someone broken in and was searching for information? No, instead I felt my heart stop as I saw Ron cheating on me with another girl. I froze. I completely froze and felt myself go numb. My jaw dropped. Finally I gasped, once my senses came back. They both froze, Ron raised his head up.

"Mione..." I shook my head. I was so much in shock I couldn't talk. Ron tried to fix himself somewhat and tried to talk to me.

"Don't try talking to me. Same to you, little girl." I growled at her. The girl quickly made herself presentable and ran out of the room.

"Please let me explain." he pleaded.

"No. I trusted you. I can't believe you would do this! After everything......To me, to us!" I shook my head. "You know, I came here because I was offered to help with this whole situation and I haven't answered because I thought I should talk to you first. But now I know the answer to that one." I could feel my eyes watering, but more importantly, I could feel hate. "Tell Harry and Ginny I said goodbye. You won't be seeing me probably until this is over."

"Mione.."

"Don't call me that. You don't have the right to. It's Hermione to you." I turned away. "Good bye Ronald." I said, coldly, letting him know that the relationship was over.

And I left.

After washing my face I went back to the teacher's room.

"I'll do it." I said, coming into the room. Malfoy was talking with some of the teachers. They all turned to look at me in shock.

"I'm in." Malfoy said cooly but I could tell he was a bit scared. I could see Snape was a bit surprised, McGonagall looked at us proud, and Dumbledore smiled at us.

"Very well then, go pack, you leave tonight."
