* Chapter 2 *

Hermione sat in Professor McGonagall's office in a chair next to Malfoy for ten minuets before anyone else showed up to help. To Hermione's dismay, Malfoy complained the whole time.

"This better be reversible!" He kept saying " When I find the person who did this I will push them off the Astronomy Tower." he said before whispering several curse words under his breath.

"What do you suppose we do Albus ?" Hermione heard McGonagall ask quietly . " It took weeks to un connect Molly Anderson and her brother Luke last year. Their parents even took them home."

"Well we at least need to try for the time being. Maybe this is not as advanced as the other charm was Minerva." he looked at Hermione and Draco with a knowing look. If Hermione hadn't known better she would have said he was plotting something. " I'm Sure Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy are ready to be free of each other." he said teasingly. " and if all else fails we leave them as they are until we can find a solution to their situation." He smiled at them.

"But Albus, they are of two separate houses." She said.

Dumbledore smiled " ahhh" he said " that will help with inter house unity , Minerva. Its only a pity that I didn't think of it first." He said jokingly.

" ARE YOU CRAZY!" Malfoy shouted at them, " I cant be stuck to this mudblood for who knows how long!"

" Mr. Malfoy please don't use that kind of language." Both Dumbledore and McGonagall said to him.

"Malfoy, being stuck to you isn't my idea of fun either so will you give it a rest already. I know I'm Muggle born but its not like I'm not a person, I do have feelings." Hermione said trying to be as civil as she possibly could.

When the bell that signals the end of class rang Professor Snape and Professor flitwick showed up. They were just as dumb struck about what to do as the other two teachers had been.

" flitwick stood in front of them for what seemed like hours trying charm after charm the counter charm after counter charm ( well you get the point) on the ball that connected their hands together.

"Who do you suppose did this Albus. " Snape asked while flitwick continued to cast charms on their hands.

" I do not know Severus….." he traild off in thought " I wonder if…."

'

" Fred and George Weasley !" Hermione shouted in realization " This sounds like something they would do just for the fun of it."

"Stupid blood traitors." Malfoy mumbled and Dumbledore heard.

"Malfoy, Language. And precisely miss Granger." Dumbledore said in reply. " They do seem like likely suspects, I do give them props it is very clever" seeing Hermione and Dracos expressions he added " though very inconvenient ."

" Well the next Hogsmede visit isn't for a month. We will talk to them though." McGonagall told Hermione and Draco " And in the meanwhile we will do everything in our power to separate the two of you from the …. Well that thing." She said not knowing exactly what the object was called since it was a muggle object.

" Relishio , deffindo." professor Flitwick tried but quickly failed. He sighed and started muttering more spells.

Hermione looked out of the small window onto the grounds. She quickly noticed how late it was it was getting. She suddenly relized how hungry she was. Dumbledor seemed to notice.

" These two are most likely getting hungry by now." he said.

" Yes sir , well I am any ways I'm not sure about Malfoy here" Hermione said to them.

" So here is the plan, " McGonagall said , " You will go by Mr. Malfoy's schedule and you will stay in the Slytherin dormitory until you are able to be separated from each other. Mr. Malfoy ," she said, "you will sit with Miss Granger and her friends at Gryffindor table and you will not be able to be on the

Quidditch team until further notice. Is that understood?" she asked as Professor Snape who no one had notice leave walked in with Slytherin robes for Hermione to use . " oh and if you haven't noticed Miss Granger , you will temporarily placed in Slytherin. All of your belongings will be moved there while you are at dinner."

" My friends will be pleased." Hermione whispered sarcastically under her breath,

" Oh and I would suggest using Vanishing spells and Showering charms when it comes to showering and using the restroom" Professor Flitwick said in his tiny voice " or it might be awkward." he added as he sat down exhausted ." And maybe you should use dressing charms that instantly dress you."

Every one including Malfoy laughed at Flitwick's joke knowing he was dead serious. Malfoy even smiled at Hermione for a fraction of a second before he realized it and looked away turning slightly pink in the face. Professor flitwick made sure that they knew the spells as he sat down, clearly tired.

" Well. " Dumbledore said clapping his hands together " shall we go to the feast? I would rather fancy some roast beef before it gets cold." He said and headed out the door and everyone followed .
