Chapter 10 – I think we're alone now.
Basic plot:
Hermione joins the chatroom, after realising that Ginny had been spending far too much time on her computer lately.
Hermione sat down at the desk, and began to look through the computer. She'd noticed that lately Ginny had been acting a bit differently. Could it be Harry's (or even Malfoy') doing? She wasn't sure, but what she did know for certain, was that Ginny spent an awful lot of time on her computer, so that was where she would begin her search. She searched through her history, and that was where her suspicions only increased. She didn't go on many websites, but the few that she did were used an awful lot, at least every day, perhaps even several times a day. She wrote the websites into her notebook, and vowed that she would check them out later. She was returning home later, as she still had a few of her things at home, her laptop being one of those things. It would be the perfect chance, away from prying eyes, to find out what was going on.
Later that evening…
YOU HAVE SIGNED INTO THE TEEN CHATROOM FOR TEENAGERS AT MAGICAL SCHOOLS
MODERATOR: WELCOME LiTtLeReD
LiTtLeReD: Hey.
…
LiTtLeReD: Are you there?
…
FloydAramco: Yes.
LiTtLeReD: You're not ignoring me, are you? :-(
FloydAramco: Why would I be ignoring you?
LiTtLeReD: I don't know. You pity me too much for words? Lol
…
LiTtLeReD: So you been upto much?
FloydAramco: Packing the last of my things at the mo. Got a long train ride tomorrow.
LiTtLeReD: Yeah. It feels weird to be leaving home after spending so much time here. But then I feel exactly the same when it comes to leave Hogwarts at the end of each year.
FloydAramco: Yeah, same. So you finished your packing?
LiTtLeReD: Nearly XD
FloydAramco: Cool.
LiTtLeReD: Are you mad at me?
FloydAramco: Why would I be mad.
LiTtLeReD: I don't know. Because of what you said.
FloydAramco: Because of what I said?
LiTtLeReD: Yeah, about how I should give people a chance.
FloydAramco: I didn't realise you paid that much attention to what I say.
LiTtLeReD: Well… I respect your opinion. More than most, actually. So… I've decided I should try it.
FloydAramco: Try what? :-S
LiTtLeReD: Giving people a chance.
FloydArmaco: lol. So how do you intend to do that?
LiTtLeReD: I haven't quite decided yet.
FloydAramco: Ok…
LiTtLeReD: So, umm… I wanted to ask you something.
FloydAramco: Go ahead.

PicoultAhern: Hey room!
LiTtLeRed: hi.
FloydAramco: Hey.
PicoultAhern: 15/f/uk I go to Hogwarts. How about you guys?
LiTtLeRed: I'm 14. Female. Go to Hogwarts too. What house are you in?
PicoultAhern: Gryffindor.
LiTtLeRed: Same! Hey, I probably know you!!
PicoultAhern: Cool! You excited about going back?
LiTtLeRed: Of course. You?
PicoultAhern: Yeah. So how about you Floyd? What school do you go to?
FloydAramco: Hogwarts.
PicoultAhern: What house are you in?
FloydAramco: Well, I'd love to tell you, but Red here is still trying to guess who I am. :-P
LiTtLeReD: Meanie! For a moment there I thought you might slip up and give away your identity.
FloydAramco: Well, you are sadly mistaken :-D You'll just have to keep trying to figure me out.
PicoultAhern: So I'm guessing you're a guy, but how old are you?
FloydAramco: 15
PicoultAhern: So you're in the 5th year? That's odd.
FloydAramco: Odd? Why?
PicoultAhern: Well, I'm 5th too, and I don't know anyone called Floyd.
LiTtLeReD: Me either. Which is why its so hard to figure out who he is. I'm starting to think that's not your real name Floyd.
FloydAramco: Red, you are so perceptive. XD
PicoultAhern: Is it just the 3 of us on here? Where are all the people at?
LiTtLeReD: Yeah, its just us. Theres never usually anyone else on here.
FloydAramco: Except us. And sometimes this proper weird girl called WraggleSprout
PicoultAhern: Bet you 10 galleons that's Loony.
LiTtLeReD: LUNA!! Grrrrr!!
PicoultAhern: Sorry. Is she a friend of yours?
LiTtLeReD: Yes.
PicoultAhern: A good friend of yours?
LiTtLeReD: You're trying to find out who I am, aren't you?
PicoultAhern: Yes. But I think I already know.
LiTtLeReD: Oh? :-P So who am I?
PicoultAhern: Well, I'm not going to give it away if Floyd is trying to guess who you are too.
LiTtLeReD: He already knows.
PicoultAhern: Oh. So, Ginny Weasley?
LiTtLeReD: Indeed I am.
PicoultAhern: I KNEW IT!
FloydAramco: Getting a bit excited there, aren't you?
PicoultAhern: Sorry. I'm off now anyways. Speak soon.
LiTtLeReD: Cya.
FloydAramco: Bye

FloydAramco: Well, I think we're alone now.
LiTtLeReD: Yeah, looks that way.
FloydAramco: So, now I've got to deal with two gryffindors. :-P
LiTtLeReD: OI! Lol. She seemed nice. I wonder who she is.
FloydAramco: Well she ain't Lavender Brown, that's for sure.
LiTtLeReD: How can you be so sure?
FloydAramco: Well she knows how to spell for one thing. And she seems pretty perceptive.
LiTtLeReD: So who do you think she was?
FloydAramco: I don't know.
LiTtLeReD: So how did you manage to figure out who I was?
FloydAramco: Your name, my dear :-P
LiTtLeReD: Oh yeah.
FloydAramco: So what did you want to ask me anyway?
LiTtLeReD: Oh…
FloydAramco: ??
LiTtLeReD: Well, we're going back to Hogwarts tomorrow, which means we're probably going to see eachother.
FloydAramco: So you want me to introduce myself again?
LiTtLeReD: Well you said you'd think about it when we went to Diagon Alley, so yeah…
FloydAramco: Maybe.
LiTtLeReD: Ok, how about this. If by some bizarre chance we end up in the same compartment on the train, you'll talk to me. If not, then you don't have to tell me who you are.
FloydAramco: hmm…
LiTtLeReD: Please?
FloydAramco: So whats in it for me? :-P
LiTtLeReD: Well… if you do, I'll take your advice.
FloydAramco: My advice?
LiTtLeReD: Yeah. I'll even be nice to Malfoy.
FloydAramco: You promise?
LiTtLeReD: Promise :-D
FloydAramco: Ok. Deal.
LiTtLeReD: Yay!
FloydAramco: :-P
LiTtLeReD: So how will I know its you?
FloydAramco: Errr…. I'll be talking to you? :-S
LiTtLeReD: Yeah, but what if more than one person talks to me on the train?
FloydAramco: Pshhht! What is the chance of that? :-)
LiTtLeReD: Howwww rude! :-P lol
FloydAramco: You'll know. I really need to go and finish packing now.
LiTtLeReD: Ok, but before you go…
FloydAramco: Yes?
LiTtLeReD: Don't even think about leaving the compartment when if I come in, just so you don't have to talk to me. You've got the advantage here, you could just run away.
FloydAramco: I won't. Night.
LiTtLeReD: Night. Speak to you tomorrow :-P
