11 Involved

"Hermione!"

They found Harry,standing in front of Hospital with his robes torn apart,arms bleeding and eyeglass broken.

Hermione cover his mouth with her hand,shocked seeing his friends like that.Since the War ended,Harry never ever get in any troubles anymore.One thing can be canceled from her list.But now,everything changed,its kinda scared Hermione if anything happen again.She tired with fighting,she just wanna live her life happily.

She then saw Ron running to Harry before checking him.They follow behind him.

"I'll tell you later,Ron."Harry assured his friends.

"But-"

"I'm fine,Ron."Harry looks at Ron's eyes,assuring him there is nothing to be worried about.

Ron nodded to him,looking down to the floor.He might feel hurt,with the thought of Harry still hiding something from him.

Harry turned his face,facing Hermione.

"Are you okay,Hermione?I heard Mclaggen has returned.Did he do anything bad to you?"

He asks too many questions at one time.

Hermione felt nervous,she didn't want anyone to find out what Maclaggen had done to her.She knows it's not her fault but she was scared at the fact that Ron might throw her out from his life.She scared that she might lose her friends.She might be alone again.

"I am fine,Harry ''She gives Harry a smile,to cover the nervous.She has lied to her best friend,it makes her feel sucks and bad.

"Maybe your knee isn't part of you?"Ginny said with a sarcastic voice.Hermione turned around to see her bestfriend that looking straight into her eyes.

"I wonder how your knee is bleeding and that's nothing to do with that bastard?"

"Hey I am fine,it's just a scratch."

The two boys look confused with what happened.

"Let's talk about this inside then?"Ron suggested.

"Yeah,let's do that" Hermione quickly takes Harry and Ron's hands,leading them inside.Ginny just follows from behind,she knows that Hermione is hiding something from her but she's gonna give it a rest.She will know about it tomorrow.

***

Harry and Hermione have been treated by madam Promfey.She said that they are fine and Harry only got a minor cut.But she suggested they take a rest and already inform teachers that both of them can skip classes for today and tomorrow.

"Mister and Mrs Weasley,I already ask teachers to give you a permission for skipping class for helping both of your injured friends.Thankfully they accepted it with one condition,you must do the task in your free time." Madam Promfey said to them with a dangerous slow voice.

Both Ron and Ginny nodded in the same time.After Madam Promfey leave them,Ron shouted cheerfully.

'Yes!This is the best thing that happened to me after food!"

Ginny punches his shoulder,making him scream again.

"Ouch,that is for what?"He asks with a confused voice.

This time he punched again,but not from Ginny.

"What's wrong with you!"Harry gives him a signal,but he can't even understand it.

He then turns around to see Hermione,stare at him.But then turn around.He now finally realizes his mistakes.

"Well,I never did say food is the first best thing that happened to me"His words made Hermione turn around,not because forgiving him,but more to annoyed.

"So what is the first thing,then"She tried to hide his annoying.She know Ron might say it was him being the quidditch keeper,or he save everyone in Wizard Chess or he-

"It was you,mione.you are the first and actually the most best thing that happened to me."

He said with a slumber face,not even shy.His eyes are looking straight for her's.Hermione got speechless.

Harry suddenly scoots his body to Ron.

"Woah,you really need to teach me how to make Ginny like that"He whispered "slow" enough to make Ginny hear him.

She chuckled before pulling his hand,making him turn over,facing her.

"You don't have to do that,cause you are not such a daft dimbo as my brother"She laughed and Harry cracked a smile for her.He pulled her into a hug with Ginny's head resting on his chest.

Hermione in the other way still froze,thinking about what to react.Ron never got her so speechless before,at least not for a good reason.

"So what is it about you Harry?"Ron asked another question,so they can move on as he saw Hermione's reaction.He felt a little disappointed because she didn't say anything.

"I don't want to make this harder for us,but you keep asking me.I guess I need to tell you then"Harry paused and looked at Hermione,asking for agreement.Hermione nodded to him as he continued.

"I was trapped inside some kind of room,like a store.I don't know who did it but it seems like a girl.I know I am being knocked out,when I am in my way after leaving you two for your privacy.I was then rescued by some students that heard my voice from inside.And that's how I get here."He finished his story.The atmosphere became silence for a moment.

Ron suddenly opened his mouth,after taking a long time,thinking probably.

"Who is that student that helped you?"

He asked him curiously.

"It was a student from our year,Pansy Parkinson,as I remember"Harry answered calmly.

Ron nodded to him.

Hermione in the other way felt kinda familiar with that name.She wanna tell them but decided to keep it as she felt they have gone through a lot for her.

"I think it's kinda weird but I guess we'll confirm it tomorrow,so let's just wait,okay?''Ginny assured them to stay calm.The three of them nodded.

"And I don't think that's what we're talking about"She said,raising her eyebrows to Ron.Hermione realise that Ginny's teasing him.She felt Ron is acting kinda cute when his ears started to turn the same colour with his hair.She stare at her,feeling calm just by looking at the handsome ginger boy.

Ron avoided her gaze,maybe started to feel embarrassed as Ginny still teased him for being such a romantic boy.They spent their night,talking to each other and having such a quality time with not just The Golden Trio but The Golden Squad.

***

They arrive in front of McGonagall office,as they have been promised to talk or discuss about McLaggen.

Hermione felt slightly nervous about the "talk" they had been promised.Ron that caught her action,slid his hand onto her,giving her some courage.

"Hey you're gonna be fine,you have me"Ron's words do make her feel safer,but she can't help but think that she might lose all of this.She tightened the hold and gave Ron a nod.

"You all can come in!"They heard McGonagall voice calling for them.They entered the room together,hand in hand.

There are two men sitting on the couch with such an annoying face.All in their face were hatred and revenge.It were McLaggen and Dean Thomas.

The four of them take the seat in front of them,right to McGonagall seat.Ron's eyes couldn't help but stick in Mclaggen.There is anger flooded in his eyes.

"We'll need to wait for another two students before starting our discussion"Hermione looked at Professor McGonagall curiously.There is another student involved?

Suddenly they heard the door,cracking open.Two girls heading towards their place.Ron's eyes widened after seeing the students.

"Lavender?"He almost dropped his jaw.What is she doing here?

Lavender gives Ron a flirty smile.Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Not this stupid girl again"She kept that thought to herself even she felt like she wanna slap the woman face.

"Finally Miss Brown and Parkinson made their way here,sitting down next to mister Dean."She ordered them and they followed with a grump.

Hermione suddenly got a vision in her mind,seeing Lavender and Parkinson trapped her in a room,giving a drink.

"You..you are that girl!"
