I was with Hermione in the Library early that weekend "okay" Hermione said "I'll go look round here, remember to use the mirror too look round corners" she told me, she had become really paranoid about these corner things!

"Yes Hermione" said I said like a little child would say to their mum. I looked at thousands of books probably but none that would be helpful I came across a section that looked as though it hadn't been used for years and saw a dusty piece of paper on the table that looked as though it had a conversation on it:

Hi S.B

Why are you sending me notes when I'm right next to you? C.S

Because I'm Amazing S.B

You're so full of your self! honestly, careful your head doesn't roll off your body! C.S

Leave my perfectly formed head out of this! S.B

Right I'm going to stop talking to you in a minute! C.S

No! wait I have a question! S.B

Yes? C.S

Go out with me? S.B

What no! Your a year older then me snuffles! thats practically middle aged :P C.S

Its because of him isn't it?... S.B

No stop! leave him out of this please we were getting along so well! C.S

It stopped there apart from a few ink splats at the bottom, deciding it would be no use to us I folded it up and put it in my pocket, C.S... Where had I seen those initials before? C.S Lewis maybe? I decide to push it to the back of my mine and look for Hermione "Hermione there's nothing... Oh my god!" I breathed and ran over to my friend, who lay there glass eyed on the floor with a mirror in her hand; my eyes began to sting with tears "no, please Hermione please" I whispered, I decided the best thing to do would be to get Madame Pomfrey so I took off to the hospital wing "Madame Pomfrey please! please help Hermione has been petrified!" I said quickly with tears running down my face. They went to find Hermione while professor Mcgonagel took me to find Harry and Ron.

We entered the tent about two minutes before the game was to start I stayed behind Mcgonagel not wanting the others to see me cry "Im sorry wood this match has been cancelled"

"cancelled?" wood said bewildered "you cant cancel Quidditch!" he said sounding outraged

"quite wood!" McGonagall snapped at Oliver "Mr potter you and Miss Statham will come with me to find Mr Weasley" it was only then that Harry noticed I was in the room

"Georgia whats the matter?" Harry asked concernedly I tried to speak but I just couldn't, Harry put an arm round me to comfort me for some reason I felt butterflies flutter around in my stomach.

"Come along" Professor said and led us to find Ron in the stands

When we found Ron, McGonagall led us to the hospital wing. There lay a still Hermione, lying on the hospital bed staring with glassy eyes up into nothingness I l let out another sob and began crying again, oh how I hate crying. "She found by Miss Statham in the Library this morning" that's all I really heard because I stopped listening and just cried into Harry's shoulder who still had his arm round me.

"This isn't right, we need to do something about this!" Ron exclaimed we were all feeling depressed by now I simple just stayed quiet; I didn't really feel like talking about anything at all. Harry seemed to sense my sadness through his and said

"Come on, lets go back to the common room"

"Erm, I'll be down in a minute I need to write to mum" they nodded and told me they would meet me in the common room. I walked in and saw no one there but the first thing I glanced at was Hermione's bed it was really starting to sink in that I wouldn't have my best friend to talk to at night for god know's how long, I would be stuck with Lavander and Pavarti.

Dear Mum

Hello Mum, how are you? Me, I'm not very good, Hermione has been Petrified this morning and I was the one who found her. I just can't get over that it could have been me...it should have been me. I feel so guilty mum! I really hope your okay and that you are settling in to our new home! I cant wait to be home this year when everything is finally okay. I hope you write back soon and that work is okay

Love you loads

Georgia xx
