(A/N: Sorry to all my readers who've been waiting...I just get distracted and tend to forget my story...finally I got a few reviews on chapter 8...and that motivated me to write another chapter. I don't really know where I'm going with this, so hopefully I find out soon...Anyways, you guys just wanna read the story...not hear me talk on and on and on and on.... well here you go!)

"RON?!?!?!?! Ron, where are you?!?!?!?," Hermione screamed throughout the common room.

Harry, Neville, Seamus, and Dean came out of the boys' dormitory, looking questioningly at Hermione. For a minute or so no one spoke.

"Well, don't just stand there. Where's Ron?" Hermione asked hurriedly.

Neville, though still confused, said, "He's already gone on to Potions, why?"

"Ron went to Potions EARLY? What is he, mental?" With that, (and ignoring Neville's question completely) Hermione turned and left the common room.

Harry turned to Seamus, Dean, and Neville and shrugged, "That was odd...Go to Potions, then?"

"EARLY? What are you, mental?" The other three chorused, before going back to their game of Exploding Snap.

Dean looked at Harry and said, "I think Ron's rubbing off on you, mate."

Harry shrugged once more, hit Dean on the shoulder (which caused an "OUCH!" to echo throughout the room), and joined in on the game.

Hermione, who had finally reached the dungeons, heard two voices coming from the broom closet nearest to her. She edged nearer, and opened the door just a bit. Her jaw dropped and the door swung wide open, causing the two inside to notice Hermione standing there for the first time.

(A/N: Okay, I think there are some spelling and grammar mistakes in there...and I don't really like some of the sentence structures...I don't have a beta reader for this story...I know I know...9 chapters already and no beta reader! I just never thought to get one. So if you want to be my beta reader review...and if you don't want to be my beta reader review...if you have someone in the room not reading the story...make them review...give me more...lol...I'm so greedy. Well...please review...and I'll write more...thanks to all my reviewers and readers!)
