I suddenly couldn't sleep anymore. This was strange though, I had stayed up all night trying to help Ron finish all of his work. How lazy he was. I wonder if he asked Harry the name of the girl. This thought had been eating me alive, not that I didn't know who Harry liked, but that I forgot her name.
The common room was empty by time I had gotten down, and I had to wait about twenty minutes until a sleepy Ginny made her way down the stairs.
"Merlin's Beard, Hermione!" She yawned, "Always ahead of the crowd!"
I glanced at my wrist-watch, "its only six- o-clock, my first class starts at eight, might as well get ready!"
Ginny walked to an arm chair, when she stepped on a piece of parchment, she examined it.
"This must be Ron's!" She laughed as she held it up for me to see.
I sighed, "I had to stay up all night just to help him on that." I felt a smile spread on my face, "Tell your brother to start working harder; I'm sick of doing all his work for him." We laughed.
"Hey, that's Ron for you, nothing you can do about it." Ginny put the paper back where she found it.
Fred and George then came storming down the stairs "I'm telling you Freddie, we have to-" he stopped when he saw us, "Ah, I see Hermy and Ginny beat us to the Common Room."
Fred sighed, "So much for a private place to talk of our plans," he looked around, "Oh well this will have to do."
They moved to a corner and discussed what seemed to be confidential information.
It seemed like another hour, until Harry and Ron finally slipped down the stairs.
"Morning, Ginny, 'Mione." Ron smiled.
"Good Morning, Ron."
As soon as the majority of the Gryffindors were in the common room, we went to the Great Hall, just to get something to eat before leaving for Potions.
I sat down between Ron and Ginny.
"Hey," Ron whispered, "I asked Harry who it was."
"What?" I tried to shout as I whispered ,"You asked who he was trying to look at?"
"No, no, no, I just asked who the girl was."
"Oh," I looked to where Harry was sitting, next to Dean and Ginny, "Who?"
"Cho. Cho Chang."
I suddenly remembered who it was, "Oh yeah, Cho, I remember now!"
Time passed, and now Harry, Ron and I were quickly walking to Potions.
"Harry?" I asked him, "Do you have your assignments finished?"
"Yes, I do." And that was all.
"Mhm, okay." I almost whispered.
The dungeons almost seemed dark; something to them just seemed different.
"Today I want you to…" Professor Snape's voice trailed off.
I noticed I was sitting next to Ron, where was Harry? Next to Neville, oh, right.
"You will take the Billywig Sting Slime, and carefully…"
The lesson was a bore; I have known this since my 2nd year and have perfected this potion in my 3rd.
"Alright begin!"
Ron turned to me, "Wait, what did he say? Hermione, I wasn't listening!"
I quickly rushed up and got the correct ingredients that I would need. Then rushed back to the cauldron where a worried Ron, stood waiting.
"Is that all we need?" He asked.
"Yes, Ron, this is all we need."
"Is that dandelion root?" Ron asked again.
"Yes it is, do you mind cutting it for me?"
"Not at all"
In minutes, the potion was complete, and I carefully poured the hot mixture into a flask.
"Well done, Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley." Snape said dryly.
Ron beamed at the sound of our names said together.
"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, the way this is unfolding." A smirking Draco said a few feet away.
"Shut up, Malfoy," Harry came out of nowhere, "like you know anything about relationships."
"You make me so scared, Potter, really." He walked away.
Harry gave me a weird look as he went to turn in his flask.
