Hagrid's body rose a few inches in the air, and rotated without otherwise
moving. He found himself staring, not at the goblin guard
but at--nothing??

"Oh my God! It's Hagrid!" screeched a high pitched voice.
"Hermione?" Hagrid asked the voice coming from nowhere, "Don' tell me
that its y--" But before Hagrid could finish he fell to the floor with
an almighty bang. Hermione, in the suprise of finding Hagrid, had lost
her hold on him and broke her floating charm.
"Hermione! You'll alert the guard!" another voice whispered hastily,
which Hagrid recognized as Harry's.
(Meanwhile, in the other room, the guard was *too busy* trying very
hard to clear the television screen of static to notice the great big
thud. That was loud enough that it would have woken up the penguins
in Anartica.)

Hagrid was *slowly* pulled to his feet by Harry and Hermione who had
taken off the invisibility cloak which they had been hiding under.

"Uh, Hermione?" came Ron's voice from within the cell, "I'd really like
to get some feeling back into my limbs." said Ron who still had a look
of shock frozen on his face
..
"Oh, sorry I forgot." Hermione said as she absent-mindedly waved her
wand to break the freezing charm she had placed on both Bill and Ron.

"What is it with you and this forgetting thing." Ron mumbled as he
stretched his stiff arms and legs.
