Disclamer: Oh go fudge yourself. See the previous chapters.
It was Saturday and Ron was going to meet Draco in the room of requirement at lunchtime. Harry and Hermione had already left with the rest of the school right after breakfast.
Ron, amazingly enough, worked on his homework in front of the fire in the common room until noon. As soon as the Grandfather clock began to chime, Ron got up, abanonded his homework, and headed straight for the Room of Requirement.
He reached the area where the doors was supposed to be. He walked between the two statues three times and thought, "I need to have a place to be alone with Draco." When he had finished walking between the statues three times, the door appeared.
Ron entered the room. He saw Draco sitting on a couch, facing away from him. On the other side of the room there was a table set for two. The plates were piled high with assorted foods, and there was a small lit candle in the middle of the table.
Ron snuck up behind Draco and whispered, "Hey there Sweet Cheeks." Draco jumped and Ron rolled over the top of the couch, landing on top of Draco.
"Hey," Draco whispered, as Ron was kissing his cheek. Ron kissed Dracos lips and Draco returned the kiss. A makeout session ensued, with the boys wriggling about, hands going up each others shirts, feeling each others flat stomachs.
Around twelve thirty, Ron rolled off of Draco and onto the floor with an 'oof.' Draco held out a hand and helped Ron up. Ron dusted off his trousers and grabbed Draco's hand, leading him to the table, where he pulled out Draco's chair for him, and then sat in his own.
Ron and Draco began to eat, blissfully unaware of the events taking place in Hogsmeade.

Harry and Hermione walked hand in hand down the path to Hogsmeade. There was no conversation, but one person would comment on something now and again to try to strike a conversation that never happened. The silence wasn't akward though, just peaceful. They both enjoyed being in each others company.
They stopped in Madame Puddifoots teashop for a coffee. Valentines day was weeks ago, but most of the decorations were stil up. "Eww," Hermione whispered. Harry chuckled and led Hermione to an empty table near a window.
Outside the window there was a massive field, with some unknown buildings in the distance. "What do you think those buildings are for?" Harry asked, still looking out the window.
"I dunno, maybe we should go check it out later," Hermione answered. The waitress had just placed two fresh cups of coffee on the table. Hermione picked a piece of confetti off of the rim of her mug, and took a sip.
Harry poured 4 creamers and 2 sugars into his before he took a sip. Hermione laughed at Harry's precice pouring and stirring. Harry looked up at her and smiled. "What is so funny?"
"Nothing, just how perfect you have to make your coffee." Hermione giggled some more, and Harry grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "Ha ha ha, yeah, it's hilarous...not!" Harry laughed too.
They finished their coffee as fast as they could, because the Valentines day decorations were depressing. They never really got to celebrate Valentines Day because Hermione had to study for a major Ancient Runes test that was taking place the next day.
They had walked up and down the main road, going into all of the shops. They talked, laughed and had fun in general, but both were unaware of the rest of the day, which was to be dark and disturbing.
Ron and Draco had finished lunch, and decided to go to the library. They knew that there would be no one in there because, A) Everyone was in Hogsmeade, and B) No one in there right mind (Except Hermione) would go to the library on a Saturday.
When they got there, they walked slowly up and down the rows, on seperate sides. When they would pass each other, there would a slight touch of the hand, then the torso, and so on and so forth. This continued, both the boys smiling as they passed each other, until Madame Pince kicked them out of the library because they weren't actually doing anything.
The boys laughed, and walked out of the library. Once they were in the hallway, they ran hand in hand down it, until they found a classroom, where Draco pushed Ron against a wall and closed the door.
"I love you," he whispered. He smile was almost non existent, but Ron could see it in the corners of his mouth.
"I love you too."
It was near the end of the day, and Harry and Hermione still hadn't checked out the strange buildings in the distance. They almost decided not to go, but Neville offered to come with them, because for some unknown reason, he didn't want to go back to the castle.
The three walked through the snow covered field. The walk took around fifteen minutes, but it was worth it. When they got there, they found this marvelous ghost town. Hermione immeadiatley wandered off, looking around at different things, some historical and some pointless.
The town had one large road, and the three of them walked down it. Hermione was ahead of Harry and Neville, pointing out things that were interesting to her, but not the boys. Neville would have least pretended to be interested, but he seemed to be lost in space.
They reached the end of the road, where there was one large, empty house. "Let's go inside," Neville said. Harry and Hermione nodded, and they all went up the steps to the door. Neville tried the knob, but it was locked.
Hermione pulled her wand out of her cloak and used the 'Alohomora' spell on it. The door opened when Neville tried this time, and the three stepped inside.
The door snapped shut behind them, and they were engulfed in darkness. Harry could hear Hermione mutter "Lumos" and her wand tip ignited. Harry was about to walk towards her, but then a man in a mask appeared out of no where and grabbed her.
"Hermione!" Harry started shouting, but he was stopped. Nevilles hand went over Harry's mouth and pulled him back into the shadows. Neville gripped Harry's shoulder very tightly and Harry fought and tried to scream, but Neville would not let go.
Suddenly, Harry felt a blinding pain in his forehead. He bit down on Nevilles hand, forcing him to move it, and Harry screamed.
Lord Voldemort appeared from the shadows. He had his wand tip ignited, and his bony hand's encased over Hermiones wrist. She was struggling to get free, she even tried biting his arm, but he didn't even flinch.
"Let Her go!" Harry screamed. Voldemort smirked, and grasped Hermiones wrist tighter. She was kicking his legs now, but he still did not flinch.
"No," Voldemort said simply, "Harry, Harry, Harry, there is no need to shout. I am standing right in front of you. Not to mention, with your temper, I may just have to hurt the mudblood here."
Hermione was still pulling, but when she saw Harry's glance of worry, she stopped, and stood stalk still.
"Neville, your such a good boy, now let him go," Voldemort nodded at Neville, and Neville let go of Harry's shoulder. Just then, a jet of blue light whizzed past Harry's ear and Harry turned to see Neville in a heap on the ground.
"What have you done to him!" Harry cried. Voldemort just smirked so Harry repeated what he said, "What have you done to him!"
"Imperius Curse, what else?" Voldemort laughed, his cruel laugh. Harry's head was still pounding, but he looked up at Voldemort, to see the cold, snake like eyes staring at him.
"What do you want?" Harry asked, trying to keep his nerve, he was about ready to pass out due to the pain in his head.
"I want to talk. There is information that I don't have, that you do, and I want it," Voldemort Replied, "Lucius!" Just then, a long rope appeared from the darkness and wrapped around Harry. Voldemort made up a chair behind Harry, and pushed him into. A second rope tied Harry to the chair.
Harry thrashed around in his chair, and Voldemort just laughed. He threw Hermione into the darkness, where Harry could hear more thrashing and Hermione screaming. "What did you do to her?"
"Relax, she is safely in the hands of my death eaters." The room filled up with light from the chandlier on the roof. Harry looked around the room. There were six death eaters, four standing behind Voldemort and 2 holding Hermione in the corner. She had started thrasing and kicking again.
The room itself was a disaster, there were rodent bones all over the floor, and there were holes in the roof and floor. "What information to you want from me?" Harry asked. He tried to remain as calm as possible, so he wouldn't raise Lord Voldemorts temper.
"Where is Severus Snape?" Voldemort asked. He still had his wand out, but it was no longer lit. The wand, which was decorated with a carved snake going up the side, was pointed at Harry.
"I don't know!" It was true. Harry had not seen Snape since the night he had killed Dumbeldore.
"Liar! He was to come and retrieve you for me!" Volemorts voice was rising. Harry could see the anger in his eyes.
"I'm telling the truth! I haven't seen him!" Harry raised his voice as well, just enough to match Voldemort.
"Crucio!" The pain struck Harry fast, and he screamed and wiggled as the jolts of pain coursed through him. The spell stopped, leaving Harry breathless, and Voldemort laughing.
Harry caught out of the corner of his eye, Hermione fighting off the death eaters. She had managed to break free, and she has stupified the two death eaters holding onto her. The other two were silently moving towards her, and she stupified them too. Harry had never noticed how amazing it was that she had mastered spells without saying it out loud.
"Crucio!" The pain struck Harry again, and he screamed and wiggled in pain. All 6 of the death eaters were laying motionless on the floor now, and Hermione had her wand pointed at Voldemort.
Voldemort stopped the spell, and smirked at Harry. Harry had tears streaming own his face, and Voldemort laughed even more. "What's wrong Potter? Can't take the.." He stopped, and fell to the ground, motionless as well. Hermione was breathing heavily and ran over to Harry.
"Are you alright?" She began untying the ropes bound around him. "Yeah, I'm fine." Hermione finished untying the ropes and Harry stood up.
"C'mon Hermione! Let's get out of here before they wake up!" He looked at Hermione, who was standing over Neville. She whispered a spell and pulled him up. Neville was there, but was that actually him?
"Hermione! He is still under the curse!" Neville was absoutely dumbfounded. "Where am I?" No one answered him, but Harry nodded at Hermione and they all ran out the door and across the field, they didn't stop until they reached the castle, where they saw Proffessor Mc Gonagall waiting outside the front doors.
"You three are late!" She hissed at them. They were still panting, but Harry managed to say, "Voldemort..is..in...Hogsmeade."
"Are you sure?" She asked. Harry nodded, and with that, the Proffessor led Harry, Neville, and Hermione up to the hopsital wing, where they spent the rest of the night recounting every detail of what had happened in the strange house.
OH MY GOD! That was exciting. I really enjoyed that chapter. I hope you did too! Read and Review!
