A/N: Hello you all! I am back with another chapter for your eyes!
This one will be Hermione and getting the letter back to Dumbledore.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, no matter how much I want to.
Underlined words are from the book.
Enjoy!
I took a large gulp of the potion, shivering as my insides seemed to freeze. Harry must have noticed, because he quickly responded,
"It's not poison?"
"No-" I soothed. "But it's like ice."
"Quick, go, before it wears off," he told me.
"Good luck - Take care -" I attempted. He just yelled "GO!"
Not looking back, I turned away from my best friend, my brother, and walked through the purple fire. It didn't hurt, surprisingly. It just seemed to move around my body, not burning anything. I held my breath so as not to breathe in the horrible stench of the troll, and quickly hurried back into the chess room.
Ron had not moved. He still lay prone on the ground, unconscious. I rushed over.
"Ron," I whispered. "Ron. Ron. RON!"
Still no movement. I didn't give up. I kept trying to wake him, hoping that he's just pop up and be alright, maybe make fun of my hair or something. Anything besides this. I only knew he was alive from the quiet sound of his breathing.
I have no idea how long I was there, trying to stir him from slumber. After what seemed to me like hours, he finally, blearily opened his eyes.
"Wazzgoinon?" He mumbled. I shushed him and slowly helped him up.
"Are you okay?" I asked. He looked at me and blinked.
"Yeah, just a little... disoriented."
"Can you stand by yourself?" I gently took his hands and slowly pulled him up to a standing position. Just like I thought he would, he stumbled with dizziness. I caught him as he fell back towards the ground, but he just shook my hands away and shakily began to walk.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. It's passed, so I can walk," He bit out. Same old Ronald, needs to be so defensive and strong, not admitting when things hurt him. It can be both noble and annoying. Just my luck that my two best friends both do that on a daily basis. Well, Harry more than Ron, but still. Wait a minute, Harry!
"Ron!" I yelled. Said redhead jumped at least ten feet.
"What?"
"Harry!" I tried.
"Yeah, I noticed he's not here. Where is he?" Ron actually looked a little concerned. Well, he and Harry are best friends, too.
"He went after Snape, alone!" I yelled.
"What?" He screeched. He tried to shoulder past me to get to the door to the troll room, but I grabbed his arm. "Let me go! We need to go and help him! He can't win alone!"
"Ron!" I pulled him back to face me. "We can help him, by getting Professor Dumbledore. Harry told me to go and send an owl to Professor Dumbledore once I've revived you. He can help Harry and stop Snape, so let's go!"
I pulled him along, and pretty soon I no longer had to. His feet moved at a matching pace to mine as we ran into the flying key room and grabbed two brooms, mounting them.
"You ready?" He asked. I nodded, and we lifted off the ground and flew through the devil's snare room and the trapdoor.
Fluffy was still awake, barking at the top of his lungs. I was never the best flyer, but I did my best, swerving around his jaws and claws. Somehow, Ron and I managed to get through the door, but I crashed to the ground, skinning my elbow.
Hissing, I held my injured arm to my chest. Ron just pulled me to a standing position and we ran through the halls, making our way to the Owlery.
"We're almost there!" Ron yelled.
"Wait, who's that there?" I shouted, watching a figure in the distance. White beard, flowing robes, tall hat...
"Dumbledore!" Ron shrieked with joy. We quickened our pace, running right up to him, but he didn't even need to ask why we were there.
"Harry's gone after him, hasn't he?" He simply said. When we nodded, he sprinted in the direction we came from.
"So... no Owlery then?" Ron said. I just gave him the 'look'.
A/N: Done! I don't really like this chapter, but I wrote in really quickly, so I guess I have somewhat of an excuse.
Done with book one as well! Next chapter will be on Chamber of Secrets, so stay tuned for that!
¡Adios mis amigos!
