"Wait up! Hermione!" Lavender shouted up to her. "What got you twisted? Why the rush? We have two hours?"

"Two hours in the restricted section is not enough time to explore it for the spell. Plus, we have to find some ancient games to introduce to Professors' Dumbledore and McGonagall." Hermione exclaimed expressing her need for urgency. "Not to mention she forgot to give them to us after class!" The devious smile graced her face once again.

"Then why have you headed the wrong direction, Hermione?" Lavender grunted as she tried to catch her.

"I should think that she would be in her office about now," Hermione replied. Let's go." As she started walking towards the Library.

"But Hermione, isn't Professor McGonagall's office on the first floor? We are in the third." Lavender questioned as she pulled the bushy-haired student to a stop next to her.

"We will head that way in a moment. I just need to talk to Harry for a moment." Hermione gasped in dismay and froze looking shocked in front of her.

"That'll teach you. You stupid mudblood." A brown-haired boy dressed in Slytherin uniform squeaked in a mocking voice at a young Gryffindor student.

"Stop it! Bletchley! Cheetos didn't do it. I swear!" The young boy cried.

"You're the only stupid berk who has a male cat familiar that is half-kneazle! It was your… your stupid cat! There is not another here who could have gotten her pregnant!" The Slytherin raged as he roared in a hateful tone.

Suddenly, Hermione busted out laughing. "You're kidding, right?" She satirized. "He is not the only student with a male half-kneazle. You should look around and open your eyes before attacking another student! Not to mention that your precious female had to approve of the joining too! In fact, my Crooksh…" She barked trying to hold in her laughter.

"Stay out of this you... slag!" He bellowed interrupting her and swung his wand around facing towards her while shifting his arm to hold the young boy by the neck. "Mind your own business or I will mind it for you."

"Miles Bletchley, what do you think…" Lavender Brown shrieked while drawing her wand.

"Mimble Wim…" The Slytherin boy cast but was interrupted by numerous spells flying suddenly.

"Basiorum Stimulus!" Harry screamed throwing a stinging jinx at Miles Bletchley breaking his concentration to finish his spell while Fay and Hermione simultaneously boomed out "Protego!"

The entire hallway was lit up with spells lights flashing and wands waving. Harry with Fay Dunbar in tow, had just arrived in enough time to see the altercation. Little did he realize that the very professor that he was talking to earlier in the library also followed him down the hallway and witnessed it too.

"What is this all about, Miss Granger, Mr. Bletchley, Mr. Potter, anyone?" Professor Sinistra asked in a calm but serious voice.

"It would seem, Professor, that Bletchley accused…" She looked at the young Gryffindor in question.

"Darren Phillips." He leaned in and whispered to her.

"That Mr. Phillips' half-kneazle made Bletchley cat pregnant. He stated that Mr. Phillips was the only and I quote, 'only stupid berk who has a male cat familiar that is half-kneazle.' When I tried to defend Mr. Phillips and explain that my Crookshanks was also a male half-kneazle too. He…"

Lavender interrupted adding, "He drew his wand on Hermione and attempted to cast a mind jinx on her. Harry at the same time cast a stinging jinx causing him to not finish his spell and Hermione and Fay cast a Protego for protection from it." She puffed out stood up straight.

"Well, I did see the casting of the spells, thank you for the information on the beginning. Mr. Bletchley follows me to the Headmaster. The rest of you carry on and keep within the castle in case you are summoned." She barked out trying to hold in her anger. She grabbed the young Slytherin by the ear and started dragging him down the hallway.

"Whew! I thought we were going to get a detention instead of being able to go to the library!" Lavender said while helping pick up the young Gryffindor's books.

Hermione shook her head. "That Slytherin has no idea that this castle is filled with both male and female kneazles and half kneazles." She started laughing after a quick thought about Crookshanks.

"I am betting your ginger terror is the culprit though. He slinks around this castle-like he owns it, Hermione." Harry added and joined in with a soft laugh.

"Ha. Ha. Cheek Harry. Crookshanks loves to roam your right but he is no terror. Anyways actually, I was looking for you. Would I still be able to borrow your special cloak just in case I get cold tonight?"

"Special cloak…Hermione…" Harry spoke with a long pause and then his eyes grew wide. He looked up and his bushy-haired friend and nodded. "Of course. I will get it for you. Where will you be?"

"We are heading to Professor McGonagall's office and then to the fourth-floor Restricted section in the library. But we can meet at the third-floor library entrance. Is an hour all right Harry?"

Harry nods and turns to walk away but continues to speak over his shoulder. "Meet you there, Mione."

He stops and turns to look at the girls. When Fay Dunbar asks Hermione, "Maybe if she sees two girls kissing… her reaction would give away her sexual preference?"

Lavender burst out laughing and adds, "Or maybe she will be disgusted at what she sees and gives detention for a month and loss of privileges to go to Hogsmeade."

Harry continues without a pause and says. "Or maybe she will get so riled up that two of her so-called cubs are up-close cozy and personal. And then comes detention and so forth."

Hermione huffs and turns towards Harry and says, "Or we drop this messed up conversation and go look for the spell."

"Yea, your right. But we still should keep the option of two girls kissing open just in case the spell option doesn't pan out." Fay added and shrugged her shoulder.

"Why do we need a special cloak anyway, Hermione? It will not be cold in the library." Lavender realized that the young Gryffindor was standing next to her. She lowered her head and leaned into the group away from him, so he would not hear. "We need to head to the Professors office and discuss this later."

"I know when I am not wanted." The Darren snickered and winked at Lavender. "I will be in the common room tonight if you want to chat." He flirted and then squared his shoulders to carry his books off. "See ya later ladies."

Hermione shook her head as she watched the young Gryffindor boy scoot off with a swing in his step. It was obvious he now has a crush on Lavender. "He seems like a nice boy, Lav."

"He needs a few inches in height, Hermione." Hermione turned and tried to hide her devious smile but failed.

"Um... No… do not think it girl. I am not interested. So. Not. Interested." Lavender exclaimed with impacting each word sharply. "Besides, we have a mission that is important so let's go."

Fay snickered and added, "You never know Lav, he may have just what you are looking for."

"Nope! Uh Uh! Not happening, like I said I am so not interested." Lavender grunted.

"Oh well. It's worth a try." The brunette told herself, then headed down the hallway towards the stairwell. "Off to Professor McGonagall's office, we go." She said as she started humming the tune to The Lovecats by The Cure while thinking about and debating on leaving another bag of Skittles on the professor's desk before she leaves. "Naw. It will give away its one of two students." She shook her head and continued on towards her professor's office.
