"You must be kidding," fifteen year old Hermione Granger said.
"Really Hermione you spend too much time with Harry and Ron, you need to do girl stuff with us now and then," Lavender Brown coorsed.
"But I have tons of...," Hermione began.
"Fun things to do with us tonight," Pavarti interrupted.
Hermione looked at the pleading faces around her and sighed.
"Oh alright," Hermione gave in.
Lavender, Pavarti, Ginny, and a few other Gryffindor girls shrieked happily. They had finally gotten Hermione to come to one of there, ever so popular, Friday night sleepovers in the Astronemy Tower. They had them one night a month with Professor McGonagall's permission. Hermione had never attended one but now that she thought about what Lavender said, she never really did talk with them about girly stuff much and she had never talked to Harry and Ron about personal things or hair or makeup or any other things she never really thought about until now.
"We'll see you at six-thirty tonight in the astronemy tower," Ginny said.
Then they all rushed off to dinner through the porthole, babbling and almost running over Ron and Harry as they came into the common room from Professor Trewlany's class.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked, taking a seat next to Hermione.
"They got me to go to their sleepover they have every month," Hermione told them, a little happier about it now.
"You agreed!?" Ron said in anguish.
"Well maybe they are right. I need a little girl time," Hermione said smirking.
"Oh they bloody brainwashed her!" Ron said to Harry.
"Oh come on Ron you know Hermione's girl and can't talk about those "personal" things with us," Harry grinned at Hermione.
"Harry, really!!!" Hermione laughed, standing. "I am going to get my stuff together. I'll see you tomorrow."
With that she picked up her bag and and went up to her room to gather some things she wanted to take with her. First she took out of her trunk a small duffel and began to fill it with various items.
Hairbrush, pajamas, extra clothes, toothbrush, and just perhaps, she thought, i ought to bring that make-up case my mother bought me.

it will get more serious at the end of this chapter.)
"Hermione! You are here!" Lavender said opening to door to the tower.
"Of course I am," Hermione said, feeling relaxed. She kind of felt like she did when she was in first year, before she had met Ron and Harry. She, Lavender, and Pavarti would stay up at night and just talk. Then, she just drifted away from them. It felt good to be back.
When Hermione walked into the room she saw Ginny and a few other fourth years looking at magazines and Padma and a few other girls from Ravenclaw girls talking and comparing hair styles. Sleeping bags of all different colors were spread on the floor and so were everyone's duffels and belongings. Hermione set down her things and joined in looking at magazines and doing hair with everyone else. It all seemed natural. After all, Hermione told herself, I am a ffteen year old girl, even if I am a bookworm and perfectionest.
After about an hour Parvarti went to her bag and pulled out a circular object. When Hermione got a closer look she saw that it looked like a c.d player.
"Parvarti, you can't use electronics at Hogwarts," Hermione said being her knowledgable self.
"But this isn't run by elctronics, it is run by magic. You just say the incantation and keep your wand pointed at it and it plays your c.d's," Pavarti said proudly.
Hermione was impressed. She had never seen anything like it. When Pavarti said the incantation and put in a cd music spurted through the room.
"Here," Padma said. " Pavarti and I will teach you guys the dance to it."
Everyone, Hermione included, got up with the twins.
There is no one else that I can say this to
there is nothing better than a talk with you
if you have a problem, i'll be here for you
cause girl you always know thatttttt
it's us against the world!
I met someone the other night

After that song they also danced to the "Ketchup Song", "Cruel To Be Kind", and a few others. Once they were too exhausted to continue they flopped down on their sleeping bags and started a game of Truth or Dare.
Padma was first. "Hermione, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth," Hermione said.
"Did you ever make-out with a boy before and if so who?" Padma said.
Hermione blushed. She was supposed to tell the truth, but would they keep it a secret?
"Well this summer, when I visited Viktor in Bulgaria, we did a bit, nothing big or anything," Hermione said.
"Wow...Viktor Krum," Ginny said dreamily, "you are so lucky."
Hermione laughed, she was.
*************************
By three am everyone had fallen asleep except Hermione. She struggled out of her purple sleeping and walked over to the glass doors and went onto the balcony. It was a beautiful fall night, the sky was crystal clear, and, if you wanted, you could count every single star in the sky. Hermione heard a moan behind her and shut the doors lightly so no wind would blow inside. She leaned onto the concrete railing and looked out at the sparkling lake that held an enbottled number of reflected stars.
Suddenly Hermione heard a whizzing noise and something ran into her side. She flew to the ground and landed with a thump. Black splotches clouded her vision. When her eyes came back into focus she looked up to see none other than Draco Malfoy.
"You" she said in disgust.
"Yes me you idiot," he said rubbing his shoulder.
"Excuse me but I wasn't the one who ran into me!" Hemione said.
"You shouldn't have been out here in the first place, it's 3:30 AM!" Draco classified.
"Neither should you!" Hermione said. "Learn how to fly."
Hermione began to walk away but was stopped by arms around her waist. She turned her head to Draco.
"What are you doing?" she asked a little frightened.
Without answering her, he swung her onto his broom and jumped on after her. He took off at top speed. Hermione trembled and choked back sobs. She didn't know what was more frightening, being taken off with Draco Malfoy in the middle of the night or being so high up with so little control.
"Malfoy please stop!"Hermione screamed. He just smirked and pushed the broom to go faster.
"Or what?" he smirked.
"Malfoy please!" Hermione cried, tear sweaping back onto Draco.
"What's my name?" Malfoy asked.
"Malfoy!" she cried out.
"No, my name!" He shouted.
"Draco!!!! Draco, Draco, Draco!!!!" Hermione screamed.
He smirked and pushed her. She began to fall fast and hard. She could hear Malfoy's menacing laugh above her. A second later her body smashed into the waters of the lake. She came up sputtering dripping wet.
"You aren't much of a flyer are you?" Draco asked, drifting above her.
She chose to ignore him. She swam to the edge of the lake and collapsed in tears. Racking sobs shooke her whole body and she shivered in the cold.
"Oh please Granger," Draco said. "Come on."
This time he sat her behind him and slowly steered his way back to the astronemy tower. He set her down on the balcony and looked at her. She was soaked and her curly golden brown hair hung limply down her back.
"Do you have some kind of mental disability or something?" Hermione said between sobs and shivers.
Draco took out his wand and pointed it at her. She scooched back away from him.
"Dratouris," Draco said, and Hermione was dry. " You know Hermione, hanging out with though girls may be good for you. Potter and Weasly are dangerous."
"Oh and you are one to talk you phycho," Hermione said.
"Listen to me Granger," Draco said grabbing both her wrists tightly. "You have two choices here live and die. Being the best friend of famous Potter will just get you killed. Now on the other hand, if you get on my good side and the Dark Side, you could be very useful. We may even be friends, or more."
He pulled her to his chest, smirking. She looked up at him with her honey eyes in a defiant gleam, and spit at him. His eyes grew dark as he wiped his face with one hand. Hermione struggled to free herself but his reflexes were fast. He pushed her stomach first into the railing with both hands pinned by him behind her back.
"It's ten stories up Granger," Draco said maliciously. "A fall from here could kill you, and the same goes for staying by Potter's side. Now I can easily make this look like an accident. So what are you going to do? Take you pick."
"If I didn't have to I would never even get within a foot of you, and certainly not any Death Eater," Hermione said with pride.
Draco push her and she flew over the edge. Yet Draco held wrists yet still. She began to cry all over again.
"Draco please don't do this," Hermione said.
"I won't, if you don't make me Granger," Draco said. "So what do you say? Who are you with?"
"Harry," Hermione said in a barely audible whisper.
Draco yelped in fury and threw her back onto the balcony and into the wall. She whimpered in pain and scrunched against the wall as he came toward her. He knelt in front of her and took her right hand. Slowly he slipped a ring onto her finger. It was small and silver and in the middle her by claws, was a small piece if tiger's eyes.
"It won't come off," Draco said, as if reading her mind. "I am warning you if you so much as speak a word to that scarfaced goody two shoes and his weasel side kick you feel pain worse than the Crutious Curse."
Hermione racked back sobs and nodded. Giving her one last look he mounted his broom and took off. Leaving Hermione in silent recognition.
A/N: So????? You like it???? I really need reviews. At least five, before the next chapter will be put up. If you get me 15 reviws you can get two chapters. So please please review!!!!!!!!!!
