A/N:: here's another lovely chapter...enjoy.

Previously:

"What's that Weaselbee? Sticking up for your mudblood girlfriend?" Malfoy snarled.

"Shut up Malfoy." Ron said waving his fist at him. All three of the idiots walked away laughing as I blushed, not in anger, but because he had referred me as Ron's girlfriend.

Ron saw me do this and gave me a confused look, "Hermione?"

Chapter Three

'Oh crap!' I thought…no practically screamed in my head. This doesn't mean he suspects…right? I mean all I did was blush.

"Hermione?" Ron asked again.

I took in a breath. 'Breathe in, breathe out.' I told myself.

"You okay? It's okay if you're mad." Ron said looking at me.

I sighed in relief. He thought I was mad. 'Oh thank Merlin.' I mentally bowed down.

"So, are you okay?" He asked again.

I nodded and smiled. That was a close one!

"So, how did you manage to lose your voice?" Harry asked.

I scowled at him, is it just me or did Harry get more stupid and Ron got less stupid? No, not possible.

Ron laughed, "Harry, we don't know. Madam Pomfrey is still trying to figure it out."

If Harry asks one more question I'm killing him. I don't care if he's the 'Chosen One.'

"Okay, as long as it wasn't Malfoy there at the time then I'm fine." Harry said laughing. I joined in getting what he said.

Ron tilted his head and looked at us, "What do you mean?" Ah, things are normal again.

"I mean if Malfoy was there and he was the one who got Madam Pomfrey she probably would have told him to follow her around and be her 'voice'."

"Oh.' Ron laughed. 'True."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ron looked at Hermione. 'She seemed to be enjoying herself today. Whatever was wrong with her earlier seems to have vanished. It's nice to hear her laugh.' Ron thought with a smile.

"Okay class take your seats." Professor McGonagall said.

Ron sat next to Hermione, which of course was what he was supposed to do. He looked over at Harry, who unfortunately had to sit next Malfoy because there were no more seats. Ron laughed when he Harry scowled.

Hermione looked him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I looked over at Ron questioningly wondering why he laughed. He leaned in closer, I guess because he saw my expression, he whispered in my ear. "Look at Harry."

I looked around searching for where Harry was sitting, I giggled when I saw that he was sitting next to Malfoy. 'I hope Harry will be okay over there.' I thought.

"He may be mad later." Ron said with a laugh.

I nodded. Oh, he will be. Professor McGonagall started class.

You know, with all the years we've been here and all the times I've seen Ron screw up on everything. Think of all the times he's screwed something up.

Well…I was surprised. He didn't screw up on anything in Transfiguration.

At the end of class Ron and I both had successfully transformed our table into a tame lion. I'll let you in on a little secret…I didn't do anything. It was all him. I KNOW! I couldn't believe it either. I'm proud of him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Okay, that wasn't supposed to happen.' Ron thought. 'I didn't mean to turn the table into a lion.'

Come to find out Ron hadn't even heard what the assignment was, he was just so happy that Professor was giving him congratulations. He was also not willing to say anything because of the happy look on Hermione's face.

"That was wicked!" Harry said as they walked out of the class. "Now, only if you could have done that to Malfoy and made him a bunny, I would have been happier." Hermione laughed at this.

"Next time I'll accidentally point my wand that way." Ron laughed.

After that one last laugh silence become of the three. Until…

Gurgle.

Hermione laughed at the sound.

"Okay, I think it's time for dinner. Hermione's stomach just said so." Ron laughed.

Harry agreed and the three left for dinner, but leaving Hermione a little nervous.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'How am I going to talk to people at dinner?' I angrily thought. This is going to suck.

We entered the Great Hall. I sat next to Ron, of course, at the Gryffindor table.

"Hey Hermione." Ginny Weasley said.

I waved to her, secretly hoping she wasn't in a mood to talk.

"So, what if someone poisoned your goblet without you knowing?" Harry said lowering his voice to a whisper, he had sat down if front of us.

At first I was confused, then I got it.

"Come on Harry now you're thinking like Hermione." Ron said. I nodded. Then gave him a look of 'HEY!'

"Your right. I'm just wondering. Do you think someone poisoned you?" Harry asked looking at me.

I thought about it for awhile. At the time I hadn't really ate anything except the sandwich. Nothing that could have any poison. I shook my head.

"Could it be a spell?" Ron asked just now thinking it.

My eyes widened, it could be. Who would do that? I know…Malfoy, but is he mentally capable of doing something like this?

"I don't know." Harry said.

"What do you think?" Ron asked looking at me.

I sighed. 'Maybe if it is a spell we could probably find it in the library.' I thought.

"You right. We'll go to the library after dinner." Ron said a second before the food came. When the food arrived I lost both boys to their hunger. Wait a freaking minute…how'd he know that I was thinking the library?
