The Day He Stole My Heart *COMPLETED*

Chapter 9- Aragog

SCARLET'S POV

It was daytime and I could already feel myself getting a sunburn. I was with Harry, Ron, Kirsten and Hermione who's
finally out of the hospital, I still wonder how many fur balls she coughed up,
"It was Hagrid. Hagrid opened the Chanter of Secrets fifty years ago. " Harry said, now don't get me wrong Harry
is one of my closest friends but I think he's gone mad,
"It can't be Hagrid. It just can't be. " I nodded, agreeing with Hermione,
"Hermione's right Harry, we might've seen what Tom showed us but think about it, we haven't even asked for
Hagrid's side of the story " I added,
" Yeah, We don't even know this Tom Riddle. He sounds like a dirty, rotten snitch to me. " Kirsten finished, but Harry didn't seem
to be listening to any of us,
"The monster had killed somebody, Kirsten. What would any of us have done?" Harry asked,
"Look. Hagrid's our friend. Why don't we just go and ask him about it? " Ron asked, finally, Harry
agreed with us as we walked to Hagrid's hut.
"That'll be a cheerful visit! "Hello, Hagrid! Tell us, have you been setting anything mad and hairy loose in the castle lately?" Ron
described as he pretended to walk up all cheerful, I giggled,
"Mad and hairy? You wouldn't be talking about me now, would ya? " we all jumped and spun around, it was Hagrid
"No! " we all replied quickly,
"W- what's that you've got, Hagrid? " Kirsten asked, pointing at something that he was holding in his hand,
"Oh, It's a- Flesh-Eatin' Slug Repellent. For the Mandrakes, ya know. Now, accordin' to Professor Sprout, they've still got a bit o' growing up to do. But, once their acne's cleared up, we'll be able to chop 'em up and stew 'em, and then we'll get those people down at the hospital un-Petrified. In the meantime, though, you five had best be lookin' after yourselves. All right? " we all nodded
while walking away towards the castle. We were in the hallway when we saw Neville running down the hallway,
"Hello Neville " I said while smiling, he smiled and waved, then looked at Harry,
"Harry- I don't know who did it, but you'd better come! Come on! " before we knew it, we were running down the
hall towards the boys dormitories trying to catch up with Neville, soon, we were all in front of the boys door, we opened it
and saw that the place was trashed, it looked as if a tornado went through here.
"It had to be a Gryffindor. Nobody else knows our password- unless it wasn't a student. " Hermione said,
"Who ever it was, they must have been looking for something. " Kirsten replied, Harry looked at us,
"And they found it. Tom Riddle's diary is gone. " it was at this point that I knew that this diary was more important
then we thought.

HOSPITAL WING

I was with Harry, Ron and Kirsten outside; we had a free period today so we decided to relax.
"Hey do you know where Hermione is?" Kirsten asked; all of us shook our heads. Now that I think about it; I haven't seen her since she left to go to the library.
"It's weird, I haven't seen her since this morning" I replied, Suddenly we saw McGonagall running towards us.
"You 4 need to come with me" she said urgently; we all quickly got up and followed her back in the castle.
"What's going on Proffessor?" Ron asked
"It's your friend mrs. Granger. She's been petrified" I sucked in a breath as we all shared a look before walking faster towards the hospital wing. We burst open the door and immediately found Hermione on one of the beds; we all ran over. I took a seat beside her bed as the other three grabbed some chairs to sit on.

"She was found near the Library, along with this. Does it mean anything to any of you? " she then held up some sort
of mirror,
"No " we all replied, she put the mirror on the table beside her bed and walked out of the hospital wing, leaving
us in peace with Hermione.
