I'm a little shy about posting this, but here is the first fic I've ever written. Don't worry guys! I'm definitely finishing SPaSS! Just taking a lil breather. ;)

Brit picked as much as I could, but I am American and research only gets you so far.

Another pleasant day at Hogwarts, thought Harry, as he walked up the stairs. He had just received another painfully large load of homework from dear old professor Snape. The only relief he had, was the fact that the occlumency session was finally over.

He had just stepped into the upper corridors, when he heard the high-pitched squeals of excitement.

"Harry!"

Three very female, and very joyous forms barged into his personal space. Though he had already seen them practically skip towards him, the shout still made him cringe.

"Um. Hi?"

"We'd just come up with a wonderful idea."started Hermione. "You don't have anything planned for the 19th, do you?"

Harry was a little frightened by the oddly bright glint in her eyes. He gulped. I know that face, I know that smile, and all the unpleasant memories that come along with it... The last time he saw that face was in the SPEW period. "Uh, next Monday? I guess... why?"

Ginny had a smile just as devious and terrifying as Harry slowly backed into a wall. One plotting smile was enough, two just made him want to cry. "Just a little celebration." She said.

Luna smiled, "For New Years."

"Since 'everything' has been going so well." Continued Hermione in her secret-DA-business tone.

"Um, excuse me, but, New Year?" Harry blinked. "It's February."

"Chinese New Year, Harry." Said Ginny matter-a-factly.

Harry just blankly looked at the trio.

"They use the lunar calender, Harry." Hermione explained with a sigh.

"Luna came up with the idea since everyone's gonna be busy on traditional New Years or Christmas."

Before Harry could even say "Oh," much less ask what he had to prepare or know, the girls had already ran off. He shrugged and set off to find Ron.

Feb, 5th evening. Draft one of reports to professor U

In a rather unsavory state at the moment. (Inside one of those odd hollowed out statues you could peek out of. Should have brought a pillow.) The toad Umbridge wanted us to keep an eye on the golden boy, demanding reports, which means this is essentially spying... Apparently Crabbe and Goyle are unsuitable to such delicate work. (that and he doubts the readability of said reports.) Pansy had no patience and Blaise... well, nobody tells Blaise what to do and that's that.

So now, it's up to me to be the responsible Slytherin and... no one's going to read this might as well admit to myself it's boot-licking. Talk about pranoi-

Huh, the mudblood, weaselette and what'shername lunatic from Ravenclaw... They seem to be backing Potter into a wall. (His utterly terrified expression the best comedy material in years.)

I wonder what they want with TGB? Knew I should have cast a spell, can't hear a thing and a charm now is too risky with mudblood around... Ugh, why am I here in the first place? Toad lady is much too suspicious, what can a bunch of Gryffindor pin heads and a looney do, start an army?

I hope this isn't going to drag on for too long.

Oh, he left. Great, I can get out now, bloody backache.

I've long since forgotten the ending to this (this is from when I was like, 13?) So whether or not I continue is really up to muse, luck, or suggestions.

SO. Suggestions, send them! What would you guys like to see?

PS: in need of beta. Or at least britpicker.

Mentioned Blaise simply cause I like him. Such sassiness.
