Normal POV:
It wasn't normal for Hermione to lose control. It wasn't normal for a Gryffindor to fall apart so easily. Gryffindors were supposed to be strong... courageous. And Hermione was being the exact opposite. But then again, everyone has a bit of each House in them, right?
Harry felt guilty. Hermione had been through so much and he was supposed to be there for her. He glanced over at Ron and could tell he felt just the same. They both fell silent as their feet made imprints along the ground, their eyes glued to the bright white layer of crystal snow.
"Hey you two dunderheads!"
The two boys looked up and saw Ginny wave her arm up from a few metres away, pointing towards her right. They rushed up and her and saw Hermione crouching down in the corner, shaking slightly. They approached her slowly and heard her muttering to herself. They raised their eyebrows and continued to advance forward.
"... Hermione?" Ginny stepped closer to her friend.
"Give me the letter."
The trio stopped in their tracks.
"Um, what?" Harry asked.
"Give me the letter Harry!" Hermione screeched, whipping her head towards them, showing her tear stained cheeks.
Harry pulled out the small piece of parchment out of his pocket and gave it to her willingly, though still unsure of what was happening. She snatched it out of his hand and began to re-read the letter quietly. She placed the letter to her left and muttered incoherent remarks.
"Hermione, we'll help you find the git you know. I mean just cause we think he's a complete idiotic-"
"Ron!" Ginny elbowed her brother in the rib.
Meanwhile, Harry walked over to Hermione's crouching body, looked over her shoulder and smirked. The brunette glanced up and glared at his smirk.
"Well we need a plan, don't we?"
Ron and Ginny stopped their bickering and walked over to Hermione, confused. Over her shoulder, they saw a whole outline of a plan - well plans - of how they could rescue Malfoy.
Ron chuckled. "Leave it to Hermione to already plan out everything first thing."
Hermione rolled her eyes and wiped away the remaining tears. "Shut up Ron."
Ginny smiled at her innocent Gryffindor friend. She admired her bravery and how stable she was being about everything.
"So what's the plan Mione?"
Hermione smiled gratefully at Ginny and had no hesitation to launch into a wild explanation, describing each and every inch of the plan. Before she even got halfway through, Harry cut her off and shook his head.
"No, absolutely not. Hermione, we're not letting you go in there by yourself."
"Harry it's the only way. I can't risk all of your lives and bring you along with me."
"But if we're not going, then why are you telling us the plan?" Ron asked.
Hermione huffed. "Because."
"Because...?"
"Just, just because."
"Hermione you've already told us half of the plan, we might as well help you." Ginny said.
"... Fine. But I'm still going in there by myself; you can all be back up."
Harry still looked unconvinced. "But Her-"r
"No Harry. If you're going to come along then we're doing this my way. This is my plan, my stupid boyfriend that's being held captive and my problem to deal with."
Harry let out an exasperated sigh and Ginny smirked at 'stupid boyfriend'.
"Fine..."
Hermione gave a content smile and continued on.
"Right, since we're unsure of where Draco is, we need a way to find out where he could be located. I was thinking of going to the library once it's closed and looking for a tracing spell to place onto this piece of parchment that was left behind." She pointed to the letter Pansy left behind. "As you know, Pansy wasn't the brightest witch at our school so I'm sure whatever spell she's put on it, we can all break it."
"Merlin, Hermione's planning to sneak out after curfew!" Ron faked a look of shock and surprise.
"Ron... this whole plan is going to break a ton of school rules, I'm sure Hermione going out after curfew is not the only rule she's going to be breaking," Harry said.
Ron shrugged. "What do you need us to do then, Mione?"
"All I need is for all of you to keep track of the time. Meet me outside the library a few minutes before midnight. I'm sure I'll find the spell by then."
They all agreed and nodded before going back to the castle, waiting for the clock to strike at midnight.
