Okay this chapter is just a short exert from the book. It has been modified to fit Hermione's choices.

This chapter is from an outsider's point of view.

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Harry Potter.

"Hi," said Harry. "How're you? You're staying at Hogwarts then? I heard your parents wanted you to leave."

"I managed to talk them out of it for the time being." Said Parvati. "That Katie thing really freaked them out, but as there hasn't been anything since... oh, hi, Hermione!"

Parvati positively beamed, Harry could tell that she was feeling guilty for having laughed at Hermione in Transfiguration. He looked around and saw that Hermione was beaming back, if possible even more brightly, Girls were very strange sometimes."

"Hi, Parvati!" said Hermione, ignoring Ron and Lavender completely. "Are you going to Slughorn's party tonight?"

"No invite," said Parvati gloomily. "I'd love to go, though, it sounds like it's going to be really good...you're going aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm meeting Zacharias at eight and we're – "

There was a noise like a plunger being withdrawn from a blocked sink and Ron surfaced. Hermione acted as though she had not seen or heard anything.

"- we're going up to the party together,"

"Zacharias?" said Parvati. "Zacharias Smith, you mean?"

"That's right," said Hermione sweetly. "The one who is the best," she put a great deal of emphasis on the word, "Hufflepuff Chaser."

"Are you going out with him, then?" asked Parvati, wide-eyed.

"Oh – yes - didn't you know?" said Hermione, with a most un-Hermione-ish giggle.

"No!" said Parvati, looking positively agog at this piece of gossip. "Wow you like your Quidditch players, don't you? First Krum, then Smith..."

"I like really good Quidditch players," Hermione corrected her, still smiling. "Well, see you...got to go and get ready got the party..."

She left. At once Lavender and Parvati put their heads together to discuss this new development, with everything they had ever heard about Smith, and all they had ever guessed about Hermione. Ron looked strangely blank and said nothing. Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.

Author's note: Okay this chapter is kind of short but I just wanted to put a bit from the book in. I did not come up with most of this. The only things I changed from the book are changing Cormac to Zacharias, McLaggen to Smith and the one who almost became Gryffindor Keeper to the one who is the best Hufflepuff Chaser. I am not sure if it is true but it sounds more impressive than the one who is Hufflepuff Chaser.

I hope you liked this chapter. Almost all the credit goes to J.K Rowling. As I said before those changes are my only work in this chapter.

Anyway I wanted to show everyone where in the book they are. Obviously it is the day of Slughorn's party.

Keep reading and reviewing.

Thanks.
