Hermione Granger looked into the common room to see no one there except ginny doing her radio excersises.

"Ginny, what are you doing?" laughed Hermione from the door. Ginny spun around and looked at her. "oh, it's only you, excersize, what does it look like?"

"now reach to hands wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out!" the radio bleeped. Ginny did this.

Harry opened the door to the common room and blinked a couple of times.

"WHO THE BLOODY HELL IS PLAYING MORNING'S WITH GLIDA AT...EIGHT...IN...THE...MORNING?"

"Oh shut up Harry," said Ginny finally putting down her arms. "So when are you guys going to the year end graduation party?I hear McGonagall is inviting those kids from the highschool in London."

"Why would they do that?" asked Hermione climbing down the stairs and sitting on the couch.

"Apparently the charm lifted on the castle for five seconds and the principal saw the school as a giant castle. Now she's inviting them over to show him that Hogwarts is a normal school. So she's parading around taking up wands and crud and she's going to fix the stairways for the night."

Harry rubbed his eyes and reached for his glasses. "Uh, tonight, I think," he said putting on his glasses and falling onto the couch after climbing down the stairs. He closed his eyes and felt his legs relax, a warm fuzzy feeling came over his legs. no, wait, that was just Crookshanks. He put the cat down and turned to get more comfortable. "Harry, if you really are that tired go back up stairs." said Hermionie picking up her cat and settling back into her spot on the chair. "Dear lord, what are these people sticking in the coushion- AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hermione jumped back and jumped onto Harry and shoved her face into his chest quivering. Harry, startled to find a hundred pound girl on him opened his eyes to see a cobra on Hermione's chair a giant snke with razor fangs. He gripped hermionies hand in a conforting gesture and reached for his wand.

"HA HA!" Harry heard from the corner.

"PEEVES!"

"What?"

"GET RID OF THE THING!"
"Wittle Harry afraid of a wittle snakey-wakey?"
"IF IT'S FIVE FEET LONG YES I'M AFRAID!"
"FINE! Sheesh, you wizards, when I was going to school we NEVER complained about snakes in our chairs, we just let 'em bite us."
"PEEVES THAT'S HOW YOU DIED!"
"Ahh, but I over cam emy fear of snakes."

Peeves picked up the snake and flung it out the window.

"There, are you happy now?"

"Whatever." said Harry. He looked at the quivering Hermione who what still cuddling up to his chest in fright.

"It's okay Hermione, it's gone."

Hemrione's bright brown eye's popped out and she lept off Harry and sped towards her chair. "Sorry Harry, um, nervous reaction, not to fond with snakes."

"Ahh, it's fine." he padded back his pillow and flopped asleep again.
