(A/N: Onward with the next chapter. Hope you like.)

Hermione grinned, "Well, if you're okay then why are you standing out here in the cold wet rain?"

Fred pretended to be thinking hard on this and said, "Hmmm.. good question. I don't really know what I'm doing." He didn't feel the need to tell her about his argument with George.well at least not yet, anyways.

"Well come inside then." Hermione grabbed his arm and dragged him, if you could call it that, inside. When finally up in the Gryffindor Common Room, Fred and George's eyes met for a brief moment. George glared at Fred and Fred stuck his tongue out at George.

Hermione, not seeing any of this, sat down across from George motioning for Fred to join them.

"Actually.I have an.erm.an essay due tomorrow that I have to work on." With that said, Fred smiled, and turned to leave.

Hermione, however, wanted to know more. "What's the assignment on? I could help both of you do it. You two are in ALL the same classes."

Fred looked around uncomfortably. He didn't like lying to Hermione. He didn't really want to leave her with George either. He sighed and said, "Erm.Okay," Fred sat down beside Hermione and continued, "but we got different assignments." As he said that each twin glanced quickly at the other, then both turned their gaze back upon Hermione.

"Yeah, and I already finished mine." George quickly added as he got up and almost made it out of the common room. He, however, was stopped by the voice of Hermione. How he loved to hear that voice. He sighed and turned around. "What's with you two today?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Nothing." Both twins said at the same time. Fred then quickly added, "I just remembered, I finished mine too." George followed Fred up to each of their own four-poster beds. They each had gotten a hold of a picture of Hermione. George, who had pulled the curtains around his bed, stared silently at his picture. Fred did the same, but in his own bed and at his own picture.

Hermione shook her head in disbelief as she sat down in a chair by the fireplace. She opened a book and immediately started studying.

Little did they know, somewhere else in the huge Hogwarts castle, another boy was gazing longingly at his own picture of Hermione. The boy sighed deeply and sat there unmoving, just watching the portrait Hermione smile and wave at him.

(A/N: Okay, another odd place to leave off. Both chapters so far were rather short but oh well. There will be plenty more story coming. Hope you liked it. Oh and, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW.)
