A/N: Hey guys! I am SO sorry for the long wait! Anyway, here's chapter 4, hope you enjoy, as I made this one a little longer than the others, thought you'd like that!
Hermione's POV
Everything was a green smudge outside of the carriage, just like the events of today's evening were. Oh, how normally it started! Just from an ordinary talk with Ginny, from an ordinary talk with Ginny to a succesful prank, from a successful prank to a chase down the train, from chase down the train to a laughing stock, from laughing stock to a incident, to... blood, from blood to tears, and from tears to strange dreaminess.
I stared and stared outside, while Ginny and Ron where having a silent glum talk. They thought I couldn't hear them! Well...
"... yeah... what... you think is wrong... her?" Ginny's soft voice whispered.
"I don't know, Ginny... think she... s... sick... sumthin'? I mean... look... her" Ron whispered back. Okay, I know I can't hear full sentences, but you can make sense from them!
Yeah... what do you think is wrong with her?
I don't know, Ginny... do you think she's sick or sumthin'? I mean... look at her.
Yeah. You guessed it! They're chatting 'bout me.
"We have... ask... Harry... might know... where... he anyway?" Ginny shivered.
"Dunno... think she... fancy Malfoy?" Ron shrugged. Wait, WHAT DID HE SAY?
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" I shot up looked at them and screamed. They jumped up in surprise, and stared at me, gob smacked. I was gonna smack them alright, if they say something like that again. "I WOULD NEVER, EVEN IF HE WAS THE LAST GUY ON EARTH FANCY THE BOUNCING FERRET!" I breathed in deeply. "Listen, it's all about the... spilling... blood-" my voice cracked and I let out a silent sob, which soon turned into a... loud, loud crying session. Ginny sat next to me and hugged me, trying to comfort me. Ron, the total idiot just sighed like if I was a little, naughty, misunderstood child. "WHAT? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM RONALD? WHY ARE YOU SIGHING FOR, YOU TOTAL USELESS IDIOT!" I screamed at Ron before breaking into loud sobs again.
Ginny still had an arm around me when we got out of the carriage. Anyway, WHERE ON EARTH WAS HARRY? I looked around, trying to catch his messy dark brown hair somewhere in the crowds. Nope, he was definitely not there.
So we walked up the marble staircase in a three. Well, it usually would have been a three too, but this time Ginny was with us, instead of Harry. Something about the Great Hall was different, not the usual jolly hall, with the people with great smiles on their faces, and chatting about the usual rubbish. This time it was quiet and gloomy. I shivered. We walked round to the Gryffindor table and sat down, looking around for Harry. He was nowhere to be seen!
Draco's POV
Where on earth is Blaise? Pansy, check, me, check, Blaise, a big fat cross! WHY? Why and where would he bunk the great welcome ceremony! Yes, I, Draco Malfoy do enjoy the ceremony. The grub is good, that's why. Yeah, I'm getting off the point, where is he? Come on Blaise, don't ruin it for your stomach!
"Where's Blaise?" Pansy asked. FOR GOD'S SAKE!
"Dunno" I tried to make it sound calm.
"Where's Blaise?" She asked everyone around. God, is she in love with him, or sumthin'?
Oh, time for Dumbledore's big speech. Right... where are the earplugs?
"Hello! Hello youngsters, welcome to another year of Hogwarts! Now, before we start to eat, let's welcome our newcomers!" He started.
Everyone clapped as the wooden door opened and Minerva McGonagall walked through with the stool in her hands, the old cap on the stool, the list of newcomers under her arm. The little eleven year old's came through behind her, heads down, the robes nearly too big for them. Nobody's interested in the Housing Ceremony!
"Welcome, welcome!" Dumbledore boomed after it was over. "Later in the year, we'll have some crucial changes, but don't worry about that now. First years, remember that the entrance to the forest is FORBIDDEN. Now, grub's up!"
The plates and dishes were filled with golden baked chicken, mashed potatoes, shepherds pie, chicken legs, loads of kinds of fish, pork, and loads more different foods. I looked up and I saw Granger wasn't eating. Oh, no no no! Let's just hope she isn't with the anti-creature-slaving thing again. Why am I even worrying about Granger? Creepy.
I looked left at Pansy. OH COME ON! She wasn't eating either!
"PANS! Why aren't you eating? You're acting like Granger! Eat up!" I ordered her.
She shook her head, and buried her head into my chest.
"I'm too worried about Blaise."
"OH COME ON! Are you in love with him or something?"
"So WHAT if I am?"
She buried her head even deeper into my chest. I looked up and noticed Granger... gone.
Harry's POV
"Zabini! What on earth?" I coughed, trying to untangle myself from the invisibility cloak "How did you know I'm here?
"Saw your shoe" Blaise shrugged. "Nice to see you too, Potter."
"Yeah, whatever! We have to get out of here before the train leaves!" The train moved. "... Spoke to soon!"
"Yeah. We're going back to London now, YAY(!)"
"Oh come on! Get on with it!"
"I have some information for you, Potter."
"Now that's more like it. Err... how are we going to get to Hogwarts?"
A/N: SO... that's the end of that. In case you're confused... I won't tell you what's going on! Hee hee! Anyway, hope that Chapter 5 is gonna come soon! Xxx
