Tremendous Sacrifice

Chapter 11

I knew I was in trouble when I couldn't get the door open. There was barely nothing in the room at least I could see. I looked around and did not know where I was at. I wasn't even sure if I was alone. I was more concerned on who was the master mind behind this plan.

"Is there anyone here? Come out so I know who thank for their amazing hospitality." I said.

I knew someone had to be around here somewhere. But I was not sure where. But I heard foot steps outside the door. There was someone outside. I wasn't sure if I was in a house or something else. I looked around and right then I noticed I did not have my wand with me. I tried to look for it the best I could, but it was not with me in the room.

"Do you have my wand? Do you think it will keep me defenseless?" I asked hoping to get something in response. But nothing.... No one or thing responded.

I sighed and sat down. I needed to either get word to someone or get out of here somewhere. I knew someone would realize I was gone for too long. But I hope it wouldn't take too long for them to find me.

*Ginny's POV*

I left Charms and went to find Luna. She and Hermione had Ancient History. I don't know how they liked that class, but they did. I thought it was a boring class. Every time I took it I just wanted to fall asleep. I came to the hall and saw Luna. She looked concerned and was talking to Snape.

"What class wasn't as exciting to day as it was? Did you guys not get take a test today or something?" I asked jokingly.

Luna gave me a look and said,

"Hermione wasn't in class. I was just talking to Severus here and asking him if she was alright. Neither of us have seen her since this morning."

I looked around and realized it too. But then I remembered the meeting she had with the Order. I gave Luna a look and said,

"Maybe she is with Dumbledore. You know how when they get to talking it just goes on and on."

Luna nodded and said,

"Oh yeah she did say that she was going to see Dumbledore today. Thanks Gins for reminding me. I will see you in Potions later Severus." Luna said and walked away.

Luna turned to me and whispered,

"She should have been back by now or at least gave us word that she was going to be late."

I nodded and right then I saw Dumbledore walk down the hall. I looked over to Luna and we both ran to catch up with him. He turned to go up his office and I screamed,

"DUMBLEDORE!"

He turned around and looked at us. You could see that he saw the concern in our faces. He guided us up to his office. Once the door closed. He asked,

"Would this be about Miss Hermione's disappearance?"

We both looked at each other and back to Dumbledore. I figured he know that there was something wrong here. Dumbledore always knew when something was going to happen at Hogwarts.

"I was going to summon you when I knew more. But here you are. Do either of you know anything?" He asked.

"Well, Hermione got a letter from you saying that you had a last-minute order meeting and that the letter would take her there supposed. But I am not sure anymore by the look on your face." I said.

"I did not send her any letter. There was no meeting today. And if I ever had to earlier then her I would have had McGonagall take her with her." Dumbledore explained.

"Then where is Hermione at and who sent the letter to her?" Luna asked.

"What are we going to do?" I asked.

Dumbledore thought about it and said,

"I am going to have to get the Order together and we are going to have to figure out a way to find Hermione. But I promise you that we will find her."

We all nodded, and I had to ask,

"What should we do here? What do we tell Hermione's friends and her housemates?"

"Well, we are going to have to make something up. I will figure it out. You two just try to follow your normal schedule and act like nothing is wrong." Dumbledore explained.

We both nodded. I did not like it at all, but Dumbledore knew what he was doing. This was a serious matter. I had flash backs coming back to me. Luna took my hand and squeezed it. This was not good. I had bad thoughts going through my head and I knew Luna was too. We were worried about Hermione and what she must be going through.

I walked down the corridor and did not know where I was going. I had a free period and I had my head in the clouds. I did not realize my name was being called. Right then I felt a hand on my shoulder. There was Regulus. He gave me a look and asked,

"Are you alright?"

I just shook my head and said,

"I am just a little distracted. That is all."

He nodded and asked,

"Is Hermione alright? I haven't seen her anywhere. She missed a lot of classes. That is not like her."

"Oh yeah, she is just with Dumbledore doing a special project he needs her for. Don't worry she's fine." I said.

I really hate lying to Regulus. He was a sweet boy and only cared. I thought he was a caring person and does not deserve the fate he had. But we are going to change everything for everyone. I was going to make sure Regulus lives to have a great life.

Regulus walked with me down the corridor in silence. Neither of us knew what to say and I really did not feel like talking. Right then a letter appeared out of no where in front of me. I looked at Regulus and he was about to pick it up but I grabbed it before he could. I looked it over and saw something. I ran down the corridor and headed to find Dumbledore. I bumped into Luna and grabbed her. I did not care what she was doing this was important.

"Ginny what is it?" Luna asked as we got to the statue of Dumbledore's office.

"We need up! I don't know the password, but this is important. It's about Hermione. Please let us up." I said pleading the statue.

It moved for me and I ran up with Luna following me. Her eyes were huge and concerned. We burst through the door and I screamed,

"Hermione sent me a message!"

All these faces turned to me.
