A/N: Sup? So this is my one of my first fanfics, please tell me how I can improve it.

Hermione Granger closed the heavy book that lay before her and signed wearily, rubbing her forehead. She had just finished the last of the homework that McGonagal had assigned the Gryffindors for the weekend. Now she could spend the two days of total and complete freedom.studying.

She sighed. Lately all it seemed she was doing was studying. Ever since Harry had gotten together with Katie Bell and Ron had Cho Chang.or Parvati Patil.or Angelina Johnson.or some random Ravenclaw that he had just happened to see lying about, she didn't really have anything else to do. Harry and Ron were always too busy with their gals to pay much attention to her. Even Gunny was struck by the love bug by squirly boy Colin Creevey.

Nobody had time to spare for dull Hermione Granger anymore. Hermione glared at the moutain of books before her. "That's all I do now, study.or eat," she thought, her eyes moving to the scattering of candy wrappers that surrounded her chair. Hermione had gone from a graceful 110 pounds- quite willowy for her 5'4 frame- to a not so appealing 150. This transition had taken place from mid fifth year to January of her sixth. There was just nothing else to do.At least she had perfect O.W.L.S and took her N.E.W.T.S a year early, almost getting a perfect score.

The Common Room was still quite crowded as it was only 10:00 on a Friday night. She cast a glance around the room to see what everybody was doing.

Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan were playing exploding snap as Neville looked on. Angelina Jognson and Alicia Spinett were laughing about something boy related. Harry and Katie weren't there.probably in his room.Hermioned scowled with jealousy as she thought of them.the pain only grew deeper as her eyes slid to Ron and.well she really couldn't tell from the position they were in, but she was LUCKY.

Hermione shook her head as she began to clear away the candy wrappers. Thankfully nobody noticed. "Maybe no one had noticed my weight gain either," she though hopefully ,"I mean I only put on the last twenty pounds a few weeks ago and no one has seen me with muggle clothing on.and the robes are quite roomy. "Well," she thought, cringing "They were."

Gathering her books, Hermione walked up into the room she shared with Snob and Bitch, known to their mothers as Parvati and Lavender.

A/N: Damn, I know it's short and bad, but please read and review.
