I would like to thank my lovely reviewers and I am very sorry that I did not update last weekend, since I was very busy. I promise you a couple of updates this weekend starting with this one. Now If we shall, let's get to the disclaimer and then on to the story.

Disclaimer: Is there a way I could, possibly own Harry Potter, for just a bit maybe? No okay, well folks I do NOT own this fabulous world and as much as I complain and throw a tantrum no one will hand it over to me. Eh It's okay you wouldn't want me to handle Harry Potter. I'd go a change so many deaths ^.^, but I love the books just how they are so it's cool, I'm okay.


Chapter Three

Bill woke up early to see if Hermione had come back in the middle of the night. Mrs. Weasley was already up making breakfast when Bill came down.

"Morning Mum, has Hermione come back?" Bill asked taking a seat at the table.

"Who, dear?I don't know a Hermione," Mrs. Weasley said looking at her son curiously.

"That's not funny mum," the twins had walked into the kitchen minutes after Bill.

"I don't know what you're talking about, now why don't you boys help me."

The three young men helped their mother as they thought about the young brown-haired witch. The rest of the family came down and Bill tried again this time directing the question to Ginny who had shared her room with the witch in question.

"Ginny, did Hermione come back last night?"

"Bill, I told you, we don't know anyone with the name Hermione," Mrs. Weasley said answering for Ginny as she placed the Santa-shaped pancakes in the middle of the table.

"Is this a joke? It's not funny, mum. Has Hermione come back or not?" George asked getting frustrated.

The young witch held a special place in both his and Fred's heart and everyone pretending she didn't exist was making him angry.

"There is no one with that name George!, now if you three are done with this foolishness, I say we get to opening presents, it is Christmas after all" Mrs. Weasley said clearly getting tired of this game her sons were playing.

The subject was dropped and they all moved into the living room to open presents. Fred noticed presents disappearing. Thinking quickly he dove for a red box that was fading. Once his hand made contact it stopped fading and regained color. George and Bill noticed this but said nothing as everyone else stared curiously at Fred. He simply shrugged and stuffed the box into hi pocket, out of side. He sat in his favorite chair that was large enough for both himself and George to fit into comfortably. Bill sat on the floor in front of the twins and everyone else situated themselves in their favorite places. Ginny went first opening very present she received slowly. Harry and Ron were next. They dug into their presents receiving just what they wanted. The twins and Bill were hoping someone would announce present from Hermione, or that the young witch would show up herself, but much to their dismay neither occurred.

After they had all finished, the twins and Bill went up to the drawing room and sat in a circle. Fred pulled out the red box.

"Who's it from? Who's it for?" Bill asked eyeing the neatly wrapped box in his brother's hands.

Fred read the tag on the box aloud, "To: the Twins. From: Hermione"

"Open it!" Bill urged and the twins didn't have to think twice, they tore off the wrapping paper and dug into the box. They pull out two leather bound journals, a box of 12 really expensive and elegant quills and a single letter.

"Open the letter, George" Fred said as he examined the journal with an F imprinted into the leather.

George opened the letter and read it aloud to his brothers.

Dear Forge and Gred,

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU PRANKING MACHINES!

Well, since it's your last semester at Hogwarts I decided to give you something that will let us keep intouch.

I can predict that at the moment one of you is reading this and the other is looking at the journals.

Well i should get to the point, those journals are of my own creation and they are like muggle telephones, only they are journals.

How these journals work is, you must write the name of the person you wish to write to and then write "talk" once their name is highlighted. Now you will be able to write to this person and they back to you.

Try this now, so you see what I mean.

"Try it Fred" George said.

Fred wrote George and then wrote talk once his name was highlighted. As Fred finished writing talk the other journal let out a ring. It continued to ring for a while , then it stopped.

"Keep, reading maybe it'll explain the ringing." Bill suggested.

Well since you are reading this you either tried it, or skipped ahead.

Anyway, the journal you are writing to will ring. You may change the sound it makes, but I'll explain that later.

So now that you know how to 'call' someone,you need to know how to answer and end the conversation.

To answer it's simple, open to a page the glowing page in your journal and circle the option that says ' answer ' if you wish to decline than circle 'decline'. To end it is even simpler, You only have to write 'end' and circle it. That's it once, some one ends it then both side of the conversation stop.

See simple. Every conversation will be saved unless you want to erase it, to do so just write 'delete' and circle it at the end of the conversation you want to delete.

You can also delete a single message by writing 'delete' ate the end of the message and circling it.

Why I decided to gift you with these journals it that they are a prototype. I have successfully made 5. I have one myself, you each have one, I have given one to Neville and Luna as well.

You two are graduating and I want to get to know you better but, it'd be hard if I don't see you often.

I hope you like them and tell me if anything needs adjusting or anything.

Yes these work from wherever you maybe so write to me sometime.

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

Hermione

P.S There's a little manual type thing at the bottom of the box this will let you know additional information on the journals. Oh and I had your first intial imprinted into the Journal that belongs to you.

P.P.S DO NOT BREAK OR LOSE THOSE QUILLS! THEY WERE EXPENSIVE. Knowing you guys I put charm on them and now you can't lose them or break them .

P.P.P.S The journal is also charmed to never run out of pages!

The ringing started up again and George reached over to pick up the slightly glowing journal, he opened to the glowing page and saw Fred's name and then the options below it. He circled the answer option and Fred was going on and on about how cool the journals were. George laughed and took a quill out of the box writing back to Fred.

"Do you guys think Luna and Neville got the journals." Bill asked after a while of thinking.

"I don't know, I doubt it, but it won't hurt to check" George said ending the conversation with Fred.

George wrote Neville's name and Fred tried Luna, to both of their shock they answered. This ignited a whole new hope in the twin's and Bill that they will figure out where Hermione had gone to.


Now my best but I liked writing it. So I hope you enjoy and once again thank you to my reviewers, everyone who has favorited and followed this story.
