It Can't Get Any Worse Than This

Harry's pov:

The Quidditch game canceled due to some event that happened. Professor McGonagall ordered me to follow her and we looked for Ron for something we had to see. We found Ron who was making his way up to the stands Professor McGonagall calls his name motioning him to come down. He did and walked next to me confused,"What's happening?"

I shrugged following McGonagall to the Hospital Wing, "I warn you. This could be a wee bit of a shock"

There laying in bed was Hermione petrified looking grey and lifeless, "Hermione!"

"She was found near the library along with this, does it mean anything to the either of you?"

We shook our heads mortified at her state I looked around and noticed (Y/n) wasn't on any of the beds, "Um excuse me Professor but where's (Y/n)?"

"We actually don't know, we asked around the school....and she went missing"

"What do you mean she's missing? She was with Hermione"

"We searched and asked students who may have seen them together but they all said (Y/n) was last seen in the library with her"

I looked at Ron and I knew what he was thinking but it couldn't be there has to be a better explanation. I touched Hermione's cold hand trying not to believe this was happening.

Flashback

"You'd never know the Weasleys were purebloods, the way they behave. They're an embarrassment to the wizarding world. All of them."

I looked down listening to Malfoys idiotic words but nod so he doesn't get suspicious. "What's wrong with you, Crabbe?"

I turned to Ron who was glaring daggers to Malfoy I bumped his arm getting him to control himself, "stomach ache"

"You know I'm surprised the Daily Prophet hasn't done a report on all these attacks I suppose Dumbledore is trying to hush it all up. Father always said Dumbledore was the worst thing to happen to this place"

"You're wrong!"

My sudden outburst took me off guard realizing my mistake. Malfoy got up looking down at me. His face turned to anger asking, "what? You think there's someone worse than Dumbledore?"

I had to think fast and the first thing I could think of was myself. Who else did Malfoy really hate to the bottom of his heart...or well if he even has one.

"Harry Potter?"

"Good one Goyle you're absolutely right. Saint Potter and people actually think that he's the Heir of Slytherin?"

"But then you must have some idea who's behind it all"

"You know I don't Goyle I told you yesterday how many times do I have to tell you?"

I followed Malfoys movements as he sat on a table grabbing a gift shaking it, "Is this yours?" I shook my head no and he stuffed it in his pocket.

"If anything I wouldn't be surprised if it was (Y/n) who was the Heir of Slytherin"

I tilt my head looking at Ron he shrugs looking up at Malfoy, "why do you think that?" Ron asked Malfoy chuckled leaning his head on his shoulder, "Oh come on you've seen what she's capable of not to mention her late-night sneak outs her cutesy niceness must be a mask to cover up what she really is"

"What? Where is she going?"

"I don't know nobody does but I find it rather mysterious how whenever she disappears there's an accident"

I frown thinking about this, (Y/n) never once mentioned any of this to us. Malfoy chuckles some more picking up an object on the table. "It might be her she disappears right before an accident, shes more than advanced in our study year, and she's a parselmouth nothing says Heir of Slytherin more than that"

I looked at Ron wide-eyed he sucks his teeth but then began to freak out, "scar" he whispered "your hair" I whispered back. We both got up quickly leaving bumping into (Y/n) we closed the door so no one from inside can see us, "(Y/n)! We got the information we need, come on!"

"Actually I'm not-uh...feeling well you guys go on without me tell me tomorrow, okay?"

"Uhh sure we'll tell you tomorrow feel better"

She smiled going inside we looked at each other worried that what Malfoy said could be true.

Flashback over
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ron and I talked about it and we concluded that it couldn't be (Y/n). Maybe Malfoy got his thoughts wrong and was just assuming. We decided to talk to Hagrid and ask him questions about the monster roaming around the school.

"We have to leave as soon as everyone is asleep we only got one chance," I said quietly to Ron he nods with slight fear in his eyes. It didn't take long for night time to come around. After everyone finally went to sleep we waited for an hour just to be sure no one will catch us.

Surprisingly Professor McGonagall wasn't outside the painting as she said she would be before we all went to bed. I guess that was a bluff or something came up to possibly distracted her.

I threw the cloak over us running out of the castle and ran to Hagrids home still hiding under my dad's cloak. I knocked frantically waiting for him to open it.

"Hello?! Who's out there?!"

Hagrid pulls open the door pointing a crossbow at Ron and me. He relaxes once we take off the cloak, "What's that for?" with a bit of panic in my voice Hagrid waves it off rushing us in. "Get inside quickly before anyone sees you"

We quickly stepped in looking around his home. Something about his home just felt homey whenever we came over.

"You fellers shouldn't be here"

Ron and I sit down watching Hagrid pour us some tea but spilled it due to him trembling so much, "Hagrid are you okay?" Ron asks Hagrid nods telling us he was fine.

"Did you hear about Hermione get petrified and (Y/n) going missing?"

"Oh yeah and I'm worried for (Y/n) poor child must be scared wherever she may be"

"Yeah about that, we have to ask you some questions that could possibly help us find (Y/n)"
