I'm so happy! You are so nice! I've had this story on fanfic for not even a whole day and I already got two reviews. Okay that's not a world record but it's better than nothing. So here's my second chapter hope you like it and keep reviewing!

A Little Too Close to the Truth

It was close to eight and Hermione was slowly making her way to Dumbledore's office.

The first day of lessons had been long and Hermione was tired.

First there had been double potions with Slytherin. Snape as usual was unjust toward Harry, big surprise. But what was weird was when he had told Draco he needed to start over five minutes before class was to end and made the potion disappear with a flick of his wand. Draco had stared stupidly at his cauldron where his almost perfect potion had been.

Ron had snickered openly and was given detention on Saturday. Harry had finished his potion. He had been doing well until Snape made Draco's potion disappear. By the end of class it was a bumblebee yellow even though it was supposed to be a dark purple.

"Well that was one of the absolute most enjoyable potions lessons I've ever been to." Ron stated bluntly as he pulled out a half eaten chocolate frog and began to stuff it in his mouth. The class had ended and they were heading to their next class, Transfiguration.

"Oh and the fact that you got detention the first week back made it even more enjoyable Ronald." Hermione said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah, forgot about that." Ron took another bite of his frog. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Put that away Mr. Weasley." Professor McGonagall's eyes flashed at the sight of Ron walking into her classroom with chocolate.

"Mmmm-tthhoorryy-bbaaffeessoor." Ron mumbled with his mouth full of chocolate. Hermione rolled her eyes. Was it the fifth time that day?

Professor McGonagall didn't smile but turned back toward her desk.

"Is it just me or is everyone acting rather odd." Hermione looked over at Harry who himself was acting weird.

"Ah. Nah. It's just the season my mum has been acting' the same way."

"The word is no Ron." Hermione stopped talking though and thought of something. "Harry?" Harry looked up. "All the people who have been acting strange…" She hesitated. "They're all in the Order aren't they?" For once Hermione hoped she wasn't right. "I mean first there was Dumbledore-"

Ron looked surprised and a little hurt. "I thought you said he just wanted to talk about your grades?"

Hermione glared at him. "I said he Might want to talk about my grades. So quit interrupting. Then Snape, McGonagall," Hermione didn't want to say the next bit. "and now you." Hermione looked at Harry to see his reaction.

Now as Hermione walked even slower to the headmaster's office she shuddered to think of the look on Harry's face, hurt, sadness. It made Hermione's heart break to say it but she new she was right.

Hermione remembered Harry's birthday well. Harry had woken every member of the Order up to tell them that now that he was of age he wanted to be in the Order. It had broken Mrs. Weasley's heart but he had been determined. But she had made sure that he went to his seventh year of Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione. Even though Harry had made it very clear on the Hogwarts Express that he didn't want to be there.

Hermione had a feeling that he was glad to be back though since it didn't seem like Molly needed to try very hard to change his mind.

Hermione looked up at the gargoyle in front of her and realized she didn't know the password.

Now what did Harry say it was themed around?

Animals?

No.

Plants?

Stars?

Hermione was close to giving up when she heard voices. Then-

Hermione gasped. Had someone mentioned her name?

"Now Remus you must calm down." Yes, that was defiantly Dumbledore but what was Remus doing here?

Hermione bit her lip she hated to spy but this was clearly about her and it wasn't like she could help it. After all, they did have a meeting so she would just have to sit here. She pressed her ear against the gargoyle's chest and practically fell over when she heard someone speak.

"It's rude to listen at doors."

Hermione looked up and almost fainted when she say that the gargoyle had a funny look on his face. "Don't you smirk at me!" Hermione was trying to stay calm but what she really wanted was to run down the hall screaming for her life.

Keep it together. Good, now take deep even breathes. You've just had a long day.

You're not going insane if that's what you think.

Hermione screamed and fell over. "That's exactly what I was thinking! Now, quit reading my mind and go away."

The gargoyle laughed. "Dumbledore just wanted you to know that he's in a meeting with someone else and will be here in a moment." The gargoyle was still smirking but Hermione figured that was the best it could do with a stone face. "And I can't go away so sorry." The gargoyle didn't look sorry.

Hermione turned away from the gargoyle.

Ha. Now it can't read my mind since you need eye contact to mind read.

Actually I don't. You see Dumbledore gave me strict orders to deliver that message no matter what so now I can talk and even read your mind. It's really fun you know.

Hermione spun around to look at the gargoyle who really did look like he was enjoying it. She glared at him but he just glared right back. He smirked again. Hermione couldn't help but think what an uncanny resemblance he bore to Malfoy.

"I don't like Draco Malfoy." The gargoyle wasn't smiling anymore. He looked pissed off.

Hermione couldn't help but be curious. "Why not?"

"He walked by here one time and said I looked like a fat, ugly, pig."

Hermione burst out laughing without realizing just how much noise she was making. Until she heard a deep voice behind her.

"So this is what the smartest witch of our generation does in her spare time? How sad."

I didn't like how the sixth book ended so I'm just going to pretend it didn't happen in case you were wondering why Dumbledore is still alive.

Plz Review!

Next Chapter will probably be up tomorrow. :)
