The Room of Requirement

I gasped in surprise and reached up to rub the scar on my forehead, "Not not Hermione. It doesn't matter the risk. He's here. You need to hurry if you are going to take care of Malfoy. Just....I don't know....turn him into a jar and place him on a pedestal."

I sighed. "That's really advanced magic, Harry. I don't know if I can even pull a human transfiguration off," I shook my head. "I guess I'll try though," I told him. "But please, promise me you'll be careful Harry."

"I can't make any promises. But this is our only chance."

I took a deep breath, and closed my eyes. "You can promise that you'll be careful. You have to, or I'm not going anywhere,"

I sighed, "Fine. I'll be careful!!!"

I nodded. "Thank you," I told him, smiling a little before hugging him. "Okay, I'm going," I sighed, taking the invisibility cloak, and pulling my wand out, before covering myself with the cloak and heading out to find Malfoy.

I hugged her back and watched as she left the room, possibly sealing my doom.

I sighed with relief as Hermione came back in. "Finally..." I muttered under my breath.

I sighed, pulling the invisibility cloak off, and I walked over to Harry, handing him Malfoy, as well as the polyjuice potion and a few of his things I'd grabbed. "Sorry, it took a few minutes to pull it off carefully," I told him. "Now what do we do?"

I half-smiled, "A pillow? Are these tassels...his...hair?" I shook my head, "You need to get out of here with the cloak. Is this all the Polyjuice potion that you have?"

"Yes it is his hair. It's easier than changing him back to get hairs every time you need one," I explained. "Where am I supposed to go, Harry?" I asked, then said "Well, it's all I could carry. It should last a while if you're careful and only use it when you absolutely have to,"

"Ok...." I nodded, "Um...remember the vanishing cabinet that Draco fixed last year so that he could get the Death Eaters from Knockturn Alley into Hogwarts so that they could...assassinate Dumbledore? Come out with me after I drink the potion and the room should seal itself. Then just re-enter with your new need." I said this quickly, hoping that she had caught all of it. I pulled out my wand and used a spell to shrink the pillow. Then I used another spell and severed one of the small tassels off of the pillow. After I succeeded in doing that, I dropped the tassel of hair into the potion and watched as it boiled upon contact and turned a rich green. I took a deep breath before taking a swallow of the potion.

"Okay," I nodded. "So, I'm basically going into hiding, then?" I asked, clarifying.

I shook my head after my appearance had been altered, "You need to find Ron." The familiar voice of Malfoy spoke as I said this. "You are going to have to change Malfoy back Hermione, but bind him so that he can't speak, see, hear, smell, or move before you transform him back. I need his clothes."

I sighed, nodding as he spoke. "Well, I can use a knockout charm, I can't exactly bind him while he's a pillow," I told him, and he nodded, so I muttered "Stupefy!" and then transformed him back. Luckily he was knocked out. "Okay, you'll want to hurry," I told Harry.

I agreed with her as I quickly did what I needed to and watched as Hermione transformed him back into a pillow. This time, when she did it, he was pocket sized. "Ok Hermione. Put the cloak on. And lets go."

I took a deep breath, and nodded, slipping the cloak back on. "Alright, let's go,"

I slipped back into the Room of Requirement after speaking with Harry in the corridor. I really hoped he would be careful... I took the invisibility cloak off, and looked around, before sitting on the floor to think. How was I supposed to look for, let alone find Ron with no where to start looking?

I heard the door start to open, and I stood up, holding my wand ready. "Who's there?" I asked.

"It's me...Harry. We need to go find Horcruxes. Now."

I looked at where I thought Harry was standing. "What's happening? Why aren't you Malfoy anymore? You had enough polyjuice potion in your pocket to last you three hours, it's only been around one. What happened?"

"It's a long story. But there is a huge battle happening on the grounds... And we need to get out of here if we have a chance at defeating him."

"Get where though? And what about Ron?!" I asked. "Really.... I don't think it's a good idea to leave without at least knowing where he is!"

I pulled the Invisibility Cloak off, "Look. I don't know where he is. He's not at Hogwarts though! The only way we're going to find him and the Horcruxes is by going out to different places and looking. Sitting here battling Death Eaters isn't going to bring Rom back and it isn't going to kill V- him..."

I sighed, knowing he was right. "Alright, I've been packed to go since we left the Burrow," I told him. "Where do we start?"
