The Disappearance

The evening went by slowly. Much of it was spent in common rooms studying, talking or just sitting around reading books. The only ones that were really out were Fred and George who were attempting to create a memorial of Ginny by creating a swamp named after her (A/N: Yes I know that came from The Order of the phoenix, but it was all I could think of!).

"I wonder what's up with Cho and her father?" Ron wondered out loud.

"I don't know, maybe her grades are failing and she just hasn't said anything?" suggested Hermione.

"No, she showed me some of her most recent grades and they were all very good. Better than usual actually." Harry said.

"We'll have to wait and see" Hermione sighed. "And hope for the best." Ron and Harry nodded in agreement.

"Hey Harry? How's the new Quiditch thing going?" Ron asked.

"Pretty good actually, I talked to Dumbledore and he said that there a lot of people into this. That is all the other houses. Most of the Slytherins are completely against it and the rest are undecided."

"I figured that" Ron grumbled. "Typical Slytherins, they're always against unity and peace." Harry chuckled along with Hermione and who ever was within earshot.

"How true that is" Hermione said. "I read that Salazar Slytherin was like that in his time."

"What a surprise, Hermione reading" Ron said under his breath. Suddenly he was tackled by Hermione herself.

"You shouldn't talk about people behind their backs" she smiled.

"But I wasn't talking behind your back, I was talking about you on your left." Ron said. Hermione smiled kissed Ron on the lips. She then got up off Ron and then helped him up.

Ron whispered something in Hermione's ear who in turn giggle softly and nodded.

"Harry, we're going for a walk. We'll be back later" Ron said.

"Ok, be safe" Harry smirked. Ron and Hermione glared at Harry then walked out of the common room, hand in hand. Harry chuckled to himself before sinking into a kind of trance.

"Harry? Harry!" someone was waving their hand in front of Harry's face. Harry snapped out of his trance with a start.

"Huh? Oh! Colin, what's up?" Harry said.

"You've been starring into the fire for the last two and a half hours" Colin said. "It was like you were in some kind of trance"

"Oh, uh yeah, I zone out sometimes when I just stare into faire for a long time and let my mind go blank" Harry shrugged.

"Ok, well I'm going to bed now Harry, see you in the morning" Colin said as he walked off to the fourth year's dormitory.

"Good night Colin" Harry said to Colin. Harry sat staring into the flames for a little while longer then finally picked himself up and walked into the fifth year boy's dorm. The firs thing Harry noticed was Ron's empty bed.

"Those two must still be 'walking'" Harry thought amusedly. He quickly changed from his Hogwarts robes and into his pajamas. Harry opened the curtains around his four poster bed and climbed in. He took off his glasses and immediately fell asleep.

•••••

The next morning Harry woke up to the sound of someone opening the dormitory door. Harry slowly sat up and pulled open the curtains only to see Ron sneaking in.

Harry grinned to himself and cleared his throat. Ron stopped and looked up at Harry.

"Well Mr. Weasly, I see you have come in past curfew." Harry said in his fake McGonagall voice. "Where were you last night?" Harry asked.

"Uh, Hermione and me got lost in this maze like area of the castle. It took us all night to figure out how to get out" Ron shrugged.

"Then why are you looking so ruffed up?" asked Harry.

"Uh, we ran a lot"

"Uh huh, you think I'm that thick Ron? You two spent together didn't you?" Harry said. Ron blushed and nodded. "I thought so."

The next few minutes were spent in silence as Harry changed out of his pajamas and into his Hogwarts robes, and Ron changing out of his clothes from the day before and into new ones. Once they were finished dressing they walked downstairs to the common room where Hermione was sitting in one of the lumpy armchairs reading a book. She looked up when she heard Rona and Harry walk in. The blush on her face when she saw Ron walk in would have been worth losing his Firebolt to Malfoy, in Harry's opinion.

"So have you seen Cho yet?" asked Harry asked Cho.

"No but I have been looking" Hermione said.

"I'm starting to get worried about her" Harry admitted.

"Well if you're so worried why don't you go ask Dumbledore?" asked Ron.

"Good idea Ron, I'll be right back." Harry got up and ran out of the common room and to the entrance of Dumbledore's office. When he arrived at the gargoyle Harry said the name of the first candy that came to his mind. "Ton-tongue toffees." Harry said.

The Gargoyle leaped aside allowing Harry to enter. The moving (A/N: It is moving isn't it?) staircase took Harry up to the large oak door. Harry knocked on the door and then opened it and went in when he heard Dumbledore say come in.

"Good morning Harry, this is a pleasant surprise" Dumbledore said cheerfully. "Would you like some tea?"

"No thank you professor, I'm only here to ask you a quick question" Harry said.

"I will do my best to answer your question Harry" Dumbledore said with his usual twinkling eyes.

"Ok, when Mr. Chang came in yesterday he talked to you and then took Cho up here. I haven't seen Cho since." Harry said. "I just wanted to know what happened to her and if she's okay."

"Miss Chang is perfectly fine Harry, her father came here to take her home. After what happened to Miss Weasly, I cannot blame her family for wanting to pull her out."

"What?" She left without saying goodbye?" Harry exclaimed.

"What?" Dumbledore said sharply. "She didn't say goodbye?"

Harry looked up with curiosity. "What is it professor?" Harry asked.

"Mr. Chang said he would take Miss Chang to all her friends and you to say goodbye." Dumbledore said. "He swore he would"

"He did?" Harry said surprisingly. "I was in the common room all night and I didn't see anyone come in or go out."

"This is not good Harry. If that wasn't miss Chang's father then we must prepared to understand that she has been kidnapped."

A/N: I know that last sentence probably didn't make sense but just go with it. I had to write something that sounded like something Dumbledore would say. Lol, sorry I haven't updated lately, I've had a bad case of writers block (IT BURNS!). The next chapter or two will be dedicated to the search and rescue of Cho. R/R! PLEASE!!!!!!
