Unexpected Love

Chapter 19

"We should tell Harry."

"Are you mad?" Ron asked, "Blimey, Hermione. You're the one who wanted this to be kept secret."

"He should know. He's noticed our sneaking around." I told him, "I think he'll be okay. No one is after him...I don't think, they're just trying to scare him."

"What if they're trying to hurt Harry?" Ron asked.

"I hope whoever this is...isn't trying to hurt him." I said slowly.

"Maybe we can catch them in the act?" He suggested.

"And how are we suppose to do that?" I asked, annoyed.

"The invisibility cloak." He said, "Okay, think, what could possibly be next? Our third year Sirius Black was out of Azkaban. What happened our fourth year?"

My eyes widened at the terrible thoughts going around in my head.
"So many things." I whispered, "The Triwizard Cup. Dragons. Mermaids. Voldemort himself being reincarnated."

"This is hopeless." Ron sighed and sat beside me.

"Hermione?" Someone asked behind us.

I turned to see yet again Oliver Wood.
He always turns up at the most suspicious times.
"You." I said angrily.

Oliver held up his hands, "Woah! I'm here to tell you it isn't me torturing Harry."

"Well if it isn't you, who is it?" I asked, still angry, "And how do you even know about this

"Well...I might have been eavesdropping a little bit. But hey! That's what I'm here for." He said lowering his hands, "I want to help."
Oliver looked to both of us, "I think we can catch this guy somehow."

"And how exactly are we going to do that?" I asked.

"McGonagall and I have gotten close since I've been teaching. She told me a story about you in your third year." He started, "Something to do with being on...time to your classes."

Oliver, Ron, and I ran into the nearest empty class room.
"Blimey, Hermione! You never told me this!" Ron exclaimed.

"It was too much to explain!" I told him, "Now get over here."
The three of us huddled around one another. I wrapped the chain around all three of us and took hold of my time turner.
"What do you think?" I asked Oliver, "About how many turns?"

Oliver but his cheek, "I'm going to go with five."

"Five hours?" I asked him.

Ron looked completely lost, "What five hours?"

"Five hours ago we were about to go to Hogsmeade." I explained. "Okay, remember don't be seen."
I held onto the necklace and turned it back five times.
The world around us started going in reverse. People weaving in and out of the class room, the sun turned back, and then we stopped.
"Okay we have exactly thirty minutes till we leave for Hogsmeade."

"Now what?" Ron asked.

"We should get there before you three do." Oliver said.

"The invisibility cloak." I stated. "it'll help us." I took out my wand,
"Accio invisibility cloak."
In a few seconds it came through the door and into my arms.
"Get under."

The three of us covered our heads and headed to Hogsmeade.

"Wood! Get off my foot!" Ron complained as we neared our destination.

"Sorry!"

When we reached the spot where the poster was, we sat and waited. In a few minutes time we saw who had placed it there. Ginny Weasley crept out of the Hogs Head and delicately placed the poster in position. Shortly after, we came around the corner.

"What is that?" Harry asked as I took the poster down.

"Nothing Harry." I was saying.

"Hermione, I want to see it."

"Harry, I don't think-"

"I WANT TO SEE IT!" He interrupted. "Give it."
Harry ripped it from my grasp and studied it carefully.
"What kind of a sick joke is this?"

"I don't know Harry..."

Then Harry set it on fire, "Were leaving!"
Then we left..

When we did, Ginny left her hiding place, smirked, and headed off towards the castle.
"That slimy little git!" I exclaimed angrily. I was enraged!

"Hey! That's my sister you're talking about!" Ron said.

"Okay?! And she has been harassing Harry this whole time!" I snapped back.

"We should go...we don't need to be heard." Oliver whispered as we saw a student looking directly at us, confused.
