**Harry's POV**
"Harry, what on earth do you think you're doing? This is the third, floor!"
"Harry run!"
"The fat lady! She's gone!"
*******
I sleepily opened my eyes to the feeling of someone shaking my shoulder.
"Harry, it's 11:56. We should get going while Miss. you'll-get-in-trouble over there is still asleep," Ron whispered, motioning over to the chair where Hermione was curled up like a kitten.
"What about Emilia?"
"We can leave, she's got Hermione here. Plus the twins."
"Yeah, that makes me feel loads better."
"Fine. We'll wake her. She's been asleep for a while, right? She's got enough sleep."
"Alright."
I got up to wake Emilia, but she was gone.
"Ron, where's Emilia?" He looked at the spot wide eyed and we started searching the common area.
"Emi!" I whispered. "Emi, where are you?"
"Emilia?"
"Emi?"
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING MALFOY?! PUT YOUR WAND AWA-"
"Harry move!" Ron yelled, pushing me out of the way. A ball of fire shot right past us as we rolled onto the floor and the fire place lit up like fireworks.
"What did you two idiots do!" Hermione shot up, looking us dead in the eyes. Emilia ran into sight, Malfoy behind her.
"Blimey!" Fred shot up, room completely lit from the now roaring fire.
"What's goin on here?" George asked, rubbing his eyes.
"You were late for out midnight Duel, Potter. Though not surprised you chickened out."
"I did not chicken out, Malfoy." I stepped forward, eye to eye with the blonde git. "I was busy."
"With what? Teaching your lil' sister how to speak English?"
"Uuuuuh!" I grabbed Malfoy's robes and shoved him back, us falling out the fat lady's portrait. I kneeled over him, pinning him down. "You've crossed the line now, Malfoy!" I was about to slap him in the face but Emilia tackled me from the side, shoving me off him.
"Harry, no, he's not worth it!"
"Oh, so she does speak?" Malfoy snickered, getting up. I glared at him, knowing Emi wouldn't let me do anything.
"Harry, Emilia, are you alright?" Hermione asked, rushing to us followed by Fred, George, and Ron.
"Fine," I said, brushing off my robes. "Let's just get back inside before Filch catches us."
"Uh, Harry?" Ron said, looking at the portrait. "That may be a bit of a problem." He pointed, and in the dark even I could see it- or not see it in this case.
"The fat lady! She's gone!"
"How'll we get in then? It's way past curfew."
"Look around here for her. Maybe she's gone to another painting," Hermione suggested, clearly trying not to freak out.
"Don't bother," a voice rang from the dark. We all turned to see Neville standing there in his cast.
"Neville. How's your arm?" Emi whispered.
"Better. Madam Pomfrey let me go for the night, but when I got here to get in to the common room, the fat lady was gone. I've been here calling for someone for about an hour. I've already checked some of the paintings. She's probably in one of the ones further off."
"Alright, we'll just look in the paintings further off then," I said shrugging.
"Harry, no. Do you have any idea what'll happen to us if we get caught?" Hermione went on a mini-tangent.
"Oh, come on, 'Mione, have a little fun once in a while, will ya?" George teased.
"You in, Emi?" Fred asked, hugging her from behind and leaning his chin on her head. A smug grin grew onto Emi's face and she nodded. He grinned and lifted her over his shoulder in play.
"Harry, hey, you alright?" I looked over at Ron who was whispering, eyebrows furred.
"What do you mean?" I whispered. He looked down at my fist and I noticed it was clenched and white knuckled. I shook my hand out and put it at my side. "It's nothing. I don't know, I'm fine."
"You sure mate you seem a bit-"
"I'm fine!" I said a bit more sharply than intended, as Ron just kinda, stepped away.
"Well, this isn't my problem, so..."
"Oh no, Malfoy. You started this mess, you're helping us find the fat lady," Ron said, grabbing Malfoy by the collar, but he didn't seem to resist. Honestly I just wanted to take this chance to slug him in the stomach.
"I'm coming too!" Neville piped up.
"What?"
"I'm not gonna stay here, just for Filch to find me. I'm coming."
"Alright then. Let's find the fat lady!"
