Hermione: *walks into author's bedroom* Oh good lord. Not another one. Wasn't the first one bad enough?
Lavender: *walks in eating an apple* Don't be so mean Hermione. I kind of liked the last one.
Hermione: Yeah, well, you weren't the one who was made out to be a complete and total sap. You didn't have to poor your heart out to some skinny twit either.
Harry: *jumps out from author's closet w/ indignant look on face* Hey! I am not some skinny twit. I'm the freaking boy-who-lived! You're supposed to adore me!
Hermione: Yeah, well I'm also supposed to be madly in love with Ron in the cannon but I haven't seen anything happening with that.

Hermione glared at the clock as it slowly made its way to 5 O'clock. She swore that she could almost here it laughing as it kept her from being able to leave and go home.
After graduation Hermione had been offered an internship at St. Mungos. She had finally accepted after much deliberation and had spent the past two years working there. When she started, Hermione had been excited and ready for action. After years of watching muggle TV shows and movies she had somehow come to expect excitement. To see doctors racing around and miraculously saving lives. It was not what she had expected to say the least.
"Only twenty more minutes," she muttered as she looked back at the charts she was filing.
"HERMIONE!"
Hermione jumped at the sound of her named being screamed. 'It's got to be Lavender,' she thought. One glance down the hallway confirmed her suspicions. She watched as Lavender raced down the hallway towards the desk she was working at, nearly knocking a cart full of potions over in the process. She grinned as she skidded to a stop in front of her.
"Is it necessary to destroy my workplace in order to get my attention Lav?"
Lavender tossed her hair over her shoulder and huffed indignantly. "I did not nearly destroy anything. I've never destroyed anything in my life. And don't even think about mentioning the Louvre 7th year. That was not my fault."
"Of course it wasn't Lav. Famous paintings catching on fire is a natural occurrence. It happens all the time. Now, was there something you wanted? Or do you just enjoy screaming while running down hospital hallways like a crazed lunatic?"
Lavender flashed her a smile as she held up a piece of parchment. "Do you remember when I sent in that spell in to 'Witch Weekly' for the best spell contest?" (A/N: I know, stupid name for a contest. Anyone have an idea for diff. name? It would be greatly appreciated.)
"Yes," she said slowly. "Why?" Lavender's grin grew.
"I have in my hands a letter from the editor informing me that I am the grand prize winner of a two week, all expenses paid, trip for two to New York City!" Hermione's jaw dropped as she grabbed the parchment from Lavender's hand.
"You're joking? You won?!" She scanned the letter and looked at Lavender.
"Nope, I am most definitely not. So, think you can manage to get some time off from work and join me?"
"Are you kidding me?! Of course I'll come! But.are you sure that you don't want to take someone else?"
"Who else would I take?" she asked.
"Oh I don't know," she said breezily. "Maybe someone like, oh say, Emmit?"
Lavender glared at a painting of a doctor in beige robes behind Hermione. "And why would I want to take him?"
Hermione sighed. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe because he's your boyfriend!"
"Who ever said he was my boyfriend? Just because we've been dating each other doesn't mean that he's my boyfriend."
"Of course it doesn't." She smacked her forehead. "My mistake. I should never have assumed that the guy who you've been dating exclusively for three months is your boyfriend. What could I have been thinking?"
"Well," said Lavender, "if you want the truth. I did ask him this morning. He's going to have a project going that entire month though. So you're my second choice!" she said brightly.
"Well don't I feel special?"
"Oh come on, Mione! You know that I didn't mean it that way."
"I know, I know. It's just that I'm not sure if I'll be able to get any time off. You know what an arse Dr. Nichols is. But I'll try."
"Ok, well, I guess I'll just wait for you then. You get of in awhile, right?"
"Yeah, "she said glancing at the clock. "In ten minutes. You want to grab something to eat after?"
"Actually, Parvati gave me this recipe that I've been dying to try. I was going to make it when I got home. It shouldn't take to long to make. You want to do that instead. Save up some money for shopping in New York?"
"Alright" Hermione laughed. "More money is always a good thing where shopping is concerned. I'm going to finish these files and then go check out. Why don't I meet you by the front door."
"Ok, see you in a few minutes."
A/N: So? What'd ya think? Was it any good? I know it was short and nothing even happened. I couldn't think of a good line to end it with either. You are going to review, right? Right? *gets down on knees and begs* Please review. PLEASE! I need the reviews! I can't survive with out them! *begins to cry* Don't just leave like this! Tell me what you think. Praise me. Flame me. I don't care! I just want the reviews! *stops as she realizes what she's doing* Umm, yeah. so the next chapter will be up next week, I hope... Catch you all later! *waves cheerily*
