Don't get your hopes up, it's really short :/ sorry

"What? HERMIONE WAIT!"

Ron ran down the corridor after her retreating back. 'Girls' he thought to himself, 'he would never understand them.'

It was then that he tripped on the uneven paving slabs. Cursing his over sized feet he looked up, Hermione had disappeared round a corner. Damn.

As he rounded the corner he discovered, well, a cross-corridors. Looking down each of the forks, he couldn't see Hermione anywhere.

Hmmm...

Well, he wasn't going to find her by just sitting around. What would Hermione do?

Think logically.

Right, well, why was she running away?

Because she was embarrassed.

And why was she embarrassed?

Because she was afraid of the dark.

Okay . . . so pick the lightest corridor.

Feeling irrationally proud of himself, he set off down the right-hand passage, he would definitely be telling Hermione about this.

When she wasn't mad at him anymore. Not that he was entirely sure why she was so mad at him.

He had been running down this corridor for quite a while now and hadn't caught sight of Hermione at all. Stopping for a breather, he listened intently, he was sure he could hear footsteps.

Yes! There were definitely footsteps. Light, quick footsteps coming from somewhere up ahead.

Shaking his head, he ran on, diving down a side passage until he hit a dead end.

Wheeling around, he made to go back to the main corridor, mystified, he was sure he'd heard the footsteps turn in here.

Then the giggling started, young, girly giggling. Very un-Hermione.

This was starting to freak him out a bit.

It was getting louder, no, closer.

As he watched, a little girl ran out of the left wall and straight into the right one.

For a second Ron reeled, completely thrown before he remembered. This was Hogwarts. Weirder things happened everyday.

Then the little girl returned.
