A/N: I'm sooo sorry for not updating sooner. I've been super busy getting ready for school and everything. It starts in two weeks and my summer reading isn't even done. My book was out of stock. (Damn Barnes and Noble.)

Disclaimer: You know the drill. Enjoy and please review!

"Gotcha!" Luna squealed, catching the fox. She quickly pressed it against her chest with one hand on the fox's muzzle and one under it's belly. "You want to carry Jade?" She asked Ron.

"Thanks." He said, taking the fox from Luna's hands. He lifted Jade up and down in his arms. "Gosh, Jade, you'd think you could put on another pound or so, you're as light as a feather!" The friends laughed and went back into the clock tower, to celebrate the rest of their Saturday watching the sun go down. The group noticed Ginny and Harry whispering to each other.

"Alright." Ginny hesitantly said. "Jade, go back to the door and reveal what you've been hiding from Ron all along." Ginny commanded, taking Jade from Ron's lap and hiding her behind a board of wood behind the stairs. She snapped the collar off and returned seated next to Harry. "Don't be shy now." Ginny said. Everyone looked from behind the board and saw Hermione emerge from behind it.

"Bloody Hell!" Ron yelled.

"Welcome back 'Mione!" Harry said.

"Hey Hermione!" Neville said calmly.

"Hello." Luna calmly said.

"Nice to see you in normal form again." Ginny teased, half anyways.

"Yeah, I'm glad I don't have to kill something everyday and then bury it five miles away, get hungry and do it all over again." Hermione said rolling her eyes. "Do you think Ronald was fooled well enough?"

"Yeah." Everyone admitted.

"Can I have my collar back please Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"Sure. Here you go." Ginny said. She handed the silk green collar to Hermione.

"I love this thing." Hermione said.

"Why?" Ron asked, about to cough.

"I don't know. But I love it." Hermione replied, shaking the small silver bell on the front of the collar.

"Uh, why was Hermione a fox named Jade!" Ron yelled frustratingly.

"We wanted to get you to spill the beans. Simple yet effective." Ginny said matter-of-factly.

"That wasn't really polite you know. I'll never trust a fox ever again." Ron pouted.

"Look who's pouty!" Harry teased. Ron grumbles and rolled his eyes.

"Alright! Ron, you spilled the beans about Hermione to Jade, and Jade was Hermione. Do you understand? Comprendo? Kapeesh?" Ginny asked.

Ron nodded, looking at Hermione and blushing.

"Sorry 'Mione I didn't mean to scare you." Ron admitted, blushing even deeper. Hermione bit her lip and put her head down in shyness, something she didn't have much of.

"I have to leave, O.W.L.S. are hard on the brain. I suspect Nargles are behind it." Luna said, waving good bye and skipping up the stars of the clock tower. Neville left following Luna without a word behind him.

"We do too. Bye you two!" Ginny said, taking Harry's hand. Ron and Hermione were now alone, shyly looking at each other. Hermione bit her lip again and put her hand in her pocket. She grabbed somethings and stuttered for a second, but pulled it out. She cupped it in her hand, only revealing a small part of the end. She opened her palm and revealed a necklace with gold and red beads and jewels with a diamond shaped charm on the end, held onto by a gold chain. It looked like it could be opened with a small clasp at the end. She held it out in front of him, gesturing for him to take it from her hand. He slowly reach his hand out and carefully took it from her hand. He looked into her eyes and shot them back onto the necklace.

He slowly opened the charm, looking at her again and again shooting his eyes onto the small picture inside the charm. It was a moving magical picture of the two sitting on a stone together in front of the Lake in the snow, and they were both laughing and smiling. They were both in their winter clothes and the picture seemed to be taken in their third year. Harry must have taken the picture. He shut the locket of the charm carefully.

"Her-" She begun, but as he looked up, he noticed she left the clock tower. He sighed, put his precious gift in his pocket and slowly walked back to the Gryffindor Common Room.

Well, it was short, but you like it? Review please, I'll give you a raw bowl full of chocolate chip cookie dough. I know you love that!
