Chapter 3

The next mourning Hermione tried just the hair straightening charm and dressed in her robes. Then she started to head down to breakfast. She saw Harry, Ron, Fred, Ginny and George talking on a couch in the common room about the new DADA teacher. She stopped to chat with them. They all stopped and stared at her open mouthed.

"What?" She asked surprised at the way they were looking at her.

"You hair is so pretty, Hermione!" Squealed Ginny feeling it like it was silk.

"Oh I just tried a hair straightening charm in this magazine", said Hermione.

"Well you look really good", said George.

"Thanks", Blushed Hermione as she snapped out of staring at George.

"Well, we better get down to breakfast" Stated Ron breaking the awkward silence.

"Yea definitely I'm starved!" Added Harry patting his stomach.

The all gathered their books off of the floor and tables and walked down to the great hall for breakfast. Angelina Johnson stopped by to remind the Fred, George, and Harry of first of term Quidditch Practice.
After she finished eating Hermione grabbed her schedule and decided to go up to the library to brush up on some of her potions she didn't want to seem to dumb first day. So she said goodbye to everyone and left with in a hurry.

"So what's her deal? It's not even ten minutes into breakfast she's finished eating organized her day planner and is running off to brush up for her first class. It's a bit scary." Said George who was pointing at Hermione who was bustling through students just entering the great hall for breakfast.

"I don't know that's just Hermione for you. She likes to be good at studies and knowledgeable about every little thing, she even knows muggle subjects she grew up a muggle." Said Ron looking weirded out.

"Yea when I was going to muggle public schools they taught Math and English and History, a real bore if you ask me but some of it was rather interesting." Said Harry looking mad remembering his days stuck 365 with the Dursley's.

"Hmmm that's interesting. Oh no! I have erm transfiguration first period better go to the umm library and urm make sure I don't embarrass myself. Ta children. And then George ran out off to the library.

Fred looked at Ron and Harry with a twinkle in his eye.

"Oy! We don' 'ave Transfiguration first period, we 'ave herbology." Fred stated through a mouth full of oat meal and looking at his schedule.

"Oh! Now I get it!" said Ron "
Georgey's got a thing for Hermione, how cute. Yes now I can black male him for that Knut he owes me for his candy at Hogsmead last year!"

"You remember a Knut from last year Ron? That is very very sad, and besides it wasn't George it was me." Fred said laughing.

"Oh well you still owe me it!" Said Ron looking embarrassed and taking an angry bite of bacon.

"In your dreams little brother. We shouldn't let George know we know though. Let's just see where this is going." Said Fred.

They all agreed and finished breakfast and headed toward the library.
