Continue story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 75 - 'DON'T WANT TO LOCK ME UP INSIDE DRACO AND HERMIONE'
CHAPTER 75
Harry ran a hand through his hair as he paced back and forth in the Slytherin common room. Things were not going well and he wanted to stay as far away from the Gryffindor Common Room even if his best friend was up there. “We have to get them all back here,” he said to Pansy. “We need them here if anything is going to go right at all.
“Harry, there is no way that they will come back if…” she stopped talking when there were four loud CRACKS! signifying that someone had just apparaited into the Common Room. Ever since Harry had finally beaten Voldemort, McGonagall believed that there really wasn’t a need to worry about the walls around the school anymore
“I thought I made myself clear to them but obviously I didn’t,” Hermione said bitterly as she slung herself on the couch closest to Harry and let out an angry sigh. She looked up at Draco and then over at Harry. “This is the first time in my life that I am fully at a loss.”
“But you’re not allowed to be at a loss!” Harry exclaimed as he stopped pacing and looked at Hermione. “You can’t be at a loss if I am. You never are when I am. We need you Herms.” Hermione looked down at her hands and let out a soft sigh. She had finally been happy at one point and now she just wanted to crawl back into her bed at the Malfoy Manor and hide away from the world that was bothering her and tearing her apart. “Herms, what do we do?”
“I TOLD YOU THAT I’M AT A LOSS!” she yelled. Everyone grew silent. Hermione never snapped like that. She never lost her cool enough that she yelled greatly at anyone, ever.
“H-Herms…Are you…”
“Finish that statement and die Harry,” she replied as she stood up and walked out of the Common Room. She needed to be somewhere that she felt at home at completely, so off to the library she went. It was that one place that she felt at home with. It was where she had learned that Viktor Krum had liked her. It was where she had learned that the way Voldemort was petrifying the students was by using a basilisk that moved through the pipes. The library was her home. But someone was already waiting for her there.
“Hermione,” the person said in a deep, husky voice.
“Well where could she have gone?” Harry asked as he looked over at Draco. “The library is her home away from home and she’s not there!”
Draco wracked his brain for where she could be. He knew that she could possibly be down at the lake but if she was, Pansy would have sent green sparks to them. She could have been in the library but that idea was just shut down when he and Harry looked at it. “She could be in the forest,” he said.
“Goyle would have sent blue sparks,” Harry replied. “He’s been in there for over half an hour. The forest really isn’t that big.”
“Then where is she?” Draco asked as he turned to look out the window. Purple sparks from the forest proved that Hermione wasn’t there. Orange sparks from the lake proved that she wasn’t there either. Letting out a sigh, Draco dropped to the ground. “I should have gone after her sooner,” he said as he looked ahead of him at the wall. “I should have been there for her more…”
