S.P.E.W. returns
Hermione was quite busy over her fourth year summer: studying very very much for her fifth year at Hogwarts. Ron still wouldn't stop sending owls to Hermione about the Yule Ball and next year if there was going to be one. He wouldn't stop teasing her about Krum either. Hermione didn't think it funny.
When she returned to Hogwarts she brought a tin box with the letters "S.P.E.W." written in gold letters on it. Ron was immediately asking her about it.
"Do I have to join spew again?" asked Ron sarcastically.
"No, unless you'd like homework advice and everything from Hogsmeade, sure that's fine," said Hermione. Ron's jaw dropped.
"How much?" he asked desperately.
"A Galleon a month," said Hermione. "And just because you want homework advice you're going to join S.P.E.W., eh, Ronald Weasley?"
"N-n-n-n-n-n-no," said Ron. "I love house-elves very much. But I have a question for you, and BE HONEST. Why do you still care about the treatment of House-elves and how much money they get?"
Harry approached Hermione. "Hey Hermione, look what I found," said Harry. He outstretched his hand and inside were two sharp snake fangs. Hermione grinned.
"Thanks Harry," said Hermione. She kissed him. Ron rolled his eyes and walked away to talk to Lee Jordan.

Hermione seemed like she was incredibly obsessed with S.P.E.W. However more and more people began to join, and Ron was extremely impressed. Hermione must have worked out a plan to get everyone to sign up.
"That's it," said Ron one morning. "I think about 50 people have signed up for S.P.E.W. I have to see what is so 'hip' about some dumb old strike against House-elves and all this shi-"
"Watch your language Ronny," said Malfoy. He was wearing a green "S.P.E.W." badge. "Don't want the language police to arrest you, eh?"
"Go to hell Malfoy," said Ron.
Malfoy sniggered. "Pity you've got no friends, Weasley. All you've got is Potter and Granger. Might as well straighten yourself up." He beamed at Crabbe and Goyle, who were dead silent. Crabbe pulled out a cloak and Harry eyed the cloak like it was his: and it was!
"Give it here Malfoy," said Harry.
"In your dreams, Potter." He ran away, and out of the corner came Professor Moody, who snatched the cloak from Malfoy. "Thank you Malfoy," he said. "Ten points from Slytherin."
***
In May Hermione was so proud of S.P.E.W. because everyone, including teachers, now had a badge and a big hole in their pocket from the monthly payment of a Galleon. She was very pleased when all the house-elves were fired and set free; and that her strike changed the whole world.
Hermione's small little tin box was rattling with coins: and on the last day of school she decided to give the money to her classmates.
"It was only a stupid strike on house-elves," she said. She tossed her S.P.E.W. badge into the wastebasket. "I can't believe I started it all over again. Now the world will look at me in a different way: they'll see me and say 'You changed the whole damn world. Good job.'" She sniffed as a tear rolled down her cheek, Harry patting her on the back comfortingly.
And guessed what Harry did: he kissed her.
