The sun shone down so bright that it hurt her eyes.

Squinting, she tried in vain to make out across the overly bright hall Professor Flitwick's short form. He had asked her to come and meet him after class to talk about something. He seemed a little uneasy when he had spoken to her and she had to admit her curiosity had been peaked.

Hermione was startled as she heard his gruff perky voice from directly beside her. "Thank you very much, Hermione dear, for meeting me." He smiled weakly, sat down and spoke again with a more serious tone. "I hope you know that you are the brightest student I have seen in many years, as shown by your exceptional and flawless record."
She beamed. "But," he continued, "The task that I have set for you may prove to be more then you can handle."

Hermione was indignant as she spoke up.
"I think I could be more then capable with most anything I set my mind too." Her thoughts floated to Divination class with a slight frown.

"And even if it proves to be too much I would at least like to try."
Flitwick smiled an almost sad and humorless smile. "I do not doubt you in the least. I welcome your enthusiasm gladly, I just do not want you to get your hopes up about it."

Hermione sighed and said, "Well what is it you want me to do? I promise to try my hardest."

He scratched his knobby chin. "I have a student who badly needs tutoring but may be a little against the idea." Flitwick looked uneasy.

Hermione's ears perked up. "I love tutoring and I know I am a little more excited by troll history and levitation mathematics then the average student but I would be more then happy to."

Flitwick heaved himself off the Gryffindor bench with a grunt and a sigh, and said thank you and to meet him in his office after school the following day, before leaving to his classroom.

Hermione grinned contentedly into her open books as she thought about her newest challenge.

Things had been a little dull of late. Although she did get to hang out with Ron and Harry who were up to their usual mischief at the moment, she always felt a little left out being the girl and having such a consuming passion for the excellence in academics. Not that she considered herself above anyone; she just had a great passion for knowledge and academic achievement.

Now she would be able to put her eagerness with learning to a good use.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

P.s. I know that Ron and Hermione are destined or whatever but I just wanted to play with Hermione...thats what fan fictions are for!
