A/N: My family has suddenly decided we are moving, so I should be able to get up 2 or 3 more chapters before my computer getts torn down and set back up somwhere else, but anyway, Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 7: A night time excursion

Later that night, after being at the hospital wing all day, I was laying in bed reading a very good fiction muggle book. As I finnished the chapter I closed the book and opened the hangings to put the book on my night table. I snickered at the look on my father's face if he knew I was reading a muggle book. I made a mental note to thank Hermione for lending me the book.

She had been absolutely horrified when she discovered I had never read any fiction whatsoever. My father prefered me to read non-fiction growing up. Which is a shame because it is actualy really good. And speaking of Hermione, I looked over at her bed. The hangings were open and the bed was empty.

I remembered how determined she was to stop My brother and knew I better go see if I was too late. I groaned and rolled out of my comfey bed.

If you mix Harry, weasley, and Draco you get trouble. Add Hermione you can only get disaster.

I quietly sliped down the stairs and entered the common room the exact same time as Harry and the Weasley.

"What are you doing here?" Weasley hissed

I glarred at him " I was trying to stop-" I was going to say 'Hermione from doing something stupid' but Weasley cut me off.

"Ha! Did you hear that Harry? She thinks she can stop us."

"Honestly! Why do you two hate each other so much?" Harry said looking confused between us. Both of us opened our mouths to reply but Harry obviously sensed danger and cut us off. "Never mind. I'll figure it out for myself, besides Ron we are going to be late."

Weasley sent one final glare at me and turned to go out of the common room when another voice rang out.

"Cathy! Are you just going to stand there, and let them go? Harry I can't belive you are going through with it."

Both boys had stopped once again. I heard Harry groan.

"That's rich seeing as what you did last week." Weasley snarled referring to the prank we pulled on my brother.

Hermione flushed and snapped "that was different"

"No, not that different really" I put in helpfully

"Who's side are you on?!" Hermione cried looking at me.

"Come on Harry, Ignore them." Weasley said angrily.

I didn't expect Hermione to give up that easily, and sure enough she wasn't done with them. "don't you care about Gryffindor at all?" She hissed following them out of the portrait hole.

I knew Weasley would hex her long before she was done so I followed Hermione to pull them apart when it started to look dangerous.

"You'll lose all those points I got for knowing about switching spells" hermione said angrily

"Don't worry Mia, we can earn them back." I said happily jumping down from the portriat hole.

Weasley turned around "OH so you think your better than us hu?" He said, his voice rising.

"No" I said seriously "I KNOW I'm better than YOU"

"Oh I see" He said looking slightly angry "So your just here to be our escort sevice, to make sure we don't mess anything up"

"Oh no" I said shaking my head then grinned "Harry's a big boy, he can take care of himself and his pet weasel. I'm just here to stop Hermione from starting a fight."

Weasley looked like he was going to explode.

"I'm not the one starting a fight" Hermione said to me annoyed.

"WHY YOU LITTLE FERRE-"Weasley roared

"Guys" Harry yelped startled "shut up we are going to be found, I think I heard something."

The 4 of us stopped moving. There was a sort of snuffling sound coming from down the corridor. Harry moved forward slowly, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Neville, what are you doing out here?" Harry said

"Neville?" the other 3 of us said confused. And sure enough Neville was laying in the hallway. As soon as he saw the others her scrambled up and asked to join them.

The next few moments were wasted as everyone began to argue. Apparently weasley didn't want anyone else to come with them, but Hermione had discovered that the fat lady was gone. And I didn't want to stay here and be caught. Besides Neville said the bloody baron had come by several times already. And I don't like the Bloody baron.

"Fine!"Harry Hissed angrily "But I'm laying down the rules. Ron, no comunicating in any way with Hermione or Cathy. Cathy and Hermione, no talking at all." We both nodded "OK and when we get there, all three of you" He motioned at Hermione, Neville, and I "Stay out of the way." And we set off down to the trophey room.

We arrived a few moments late, but only a few. And Draco wasn't there yet. I had known my brother ever since I was 10 months old and he was 2 days old. And if I knew anything about my brother it was that if he was expected to be somewhere, he would be there on time. So I knew something was off.

Suddenly something accored to me.

"Harry!?" I hissed urgently

"Not now Cathy" Harry snapped not even looking at me.

"But Harry, I just thought of some-" I said even more urgently.

"Why don't you shut up?" Weasley asked angrily.

Ignoreing him I quietly said "I just thought of something, This is really unlike him, being late for something. Unless He isn't going to show up!"

Every one looked at me. And I thought I saw panic flick across harry's face. However being the genius Weasley is, he didn't understand what I was getting at.

"What? Your working together with him aren't you?" He looked angry again

"Hu? NO!! I mean-I hate, okay maybe hate is too strong a word, but I dislike my brother as much as you do, And i would never work TOGETHER with him!" I said wanting nothing more than to punch him in the mouth, but I took a deap breath and calmed myself, knowing starting a fight now would solve nothing.

"Besides" Hermione cut in "She would get in just as much trouble for being out of bed after hours as you, plus she couldn't be working with him because she was in the hospital wing all after noon."

"Exactly" I said angrily at weasley "You should really check your facts before making false acusations"

"Whatever" He muttered

"Uh Guys, someone's coming." Neville wispered
