Author's Notes- Sorry it has taken so long to update, but I have been
really busy (i.e. SAT's, research paper, and just plain being lazy). Plus I
have had a major case of writer's block. Anyways I wanted to thank you all
for the 7 reviews! That may not be many, but I really appreciate it, so
thanks! I hope that this chapter will answer a few of your questions, and
that you'll like it. I must admit that it is a whole load of fluff.
Ch.4-The Calm Before the Storm
They spent the next couple days just hanging out. Talking about the adventures that they would experience in the coming year. Hermione was a little more remote that usual, because she was rather quiet. There was nothing that they really needed to talk about, so they didn't. They walked around outside, and she watched them fly around on their broomsticks. It was just a time of peace and relaxation.
The day before they were to leave Mrs. Weasley made them all pack, just to make sure that they had everything. Ron and Harry were in Ron's room.
"Ron have you noticed anything different about Hermione?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know... It's just different."
"I think I know what you mean. She is being really... I don't know. I guess aloof."
"Yeah, I guess that is the best way of putting it. Do you have any idea why?"
Ron started to laugh. "Well Ginny did start her..." he cleared his throat," period." Harry made a really weird face.
"Yuck! Don't tell me that."
"Would you let me finish? Maybe that's what is happening to Hermione."
"Ron, this is something that I really don't want to talk about. And anyways I don't think that that is her problem."
"Well what then? Why is she not being... Hermione?"
"Ron that was really corny. But I don't know. Maybe she'll be back to normal when we get to school."
"I hope so."
Harry turned around and closed his trunk. "I do too," he whispered quietly.

Hermione was helping Ginny pack. "Hermione, could you hand me that shirt behind you?"
"Sure. Here you go."
"Thanks. So are you excited?"
"I guess..."
"You, Hermione Granger, guess that you are excited about going back to school. What is the matter with you?"
"Nothing... I just...nothing."
"Hermione are you trying to lie to me? I thought you knew me better than that. You don't lie well, at all. You know that you can tell me anything, and I won't tell anyone."
"I have nothing to tell." Ginny gave her a look that said, 'yeah right'. "Really. Ginny you know that if there was something I would tell you, but there isn't. Okay?"
"Sure Hermione if you say so." That was the end of that conversation, and there was a moment of silence. Then they started to talk about all the trouble that Ron and Harry would get themselves into.

Dumbledore occasionally would check up on his students during the summer. As we all know he is a very intelligent and knowing man. He knew that Harry and Hermione were at the Weasley's, so decided to check up on them. He watched the different conversations unfurl. He nodded to himself. He knew what was happening. He knew what Hermione was trying desperately to keep hidden.
"Well this is certainly going to be an interesting year. Thus begins the calm before the storm.
Notes- Was that a dumb ending? Did that chapter make any sense? Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I continue this odd story? Please does anyone have the answers to these questions? To my revewiers: You guys are the greatest!
