Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger were sitting in the Gryffindor common room. It was really late at night, and everybody else was asleep. Hermione was the first one down there, she was getting some History homework done. Ron and Harry joined her a little bit later, and were sitting on each side of her talking to each other
"That is spelled wrong." Ron said out of nowhere, he was in the middle of talking about quidditch after all. Hermione stared at Ron, as did Harry. Harry's stare was confused though, well hers was just annoyed.
"No it is not." She said after a few moments.
"I think I know how to spell a color. It is g-r-e-y not g-r-a-y."
"It is still right no matter which spelling is used."
"You just don't want to admit that you're wrong." Harry thought about whether or not he should intervene. He decided that it really wouldn't be worth it, he didn't want two people yelling at him.
"I won't admit that I'm wrong because I am not wrong."
"Yes you are. Just admit that for once in your life you are wrong about something."
"I am not wrong. Maybe if you payed attention in History class you would get why I am spelling it this way, and we would not be having this conversation."
"What conversation, we are fighting."
"Talking."
"Fighting."
"Talking."
Fighting."
"Talki..."
"Fighting about whether or not we are talking or fighting."
"I did spell it right though. If you had paid attention in class, then you would have known that we have to write about Magic Schools in America. Since it is about America I am trying to use the American spelling for words, and some of the spelling is different from our own."
"Still could have used the right spelling." Hermione looked like she was about to attack Ron. Harry was sure that it would be some hex she read about in the library.
Harry decided to say something before the fighting got too out of hand. "Are we done talking about colors yet. I really did want to talk to Ron about quidditch." Ron and Hermione looked surprised when Harry said something, they forgot he was even there.
Hermione gathered her stuff up and made her way towards the girls dorms. "I guess I should be getting to sleep. We do have classes in the morning. You two should head to bed too." All was quiet, at least until she was out of sight."
"I think the Chudley Cannons have a shot at winning this year. They did get a new player."
