AN: Hello everyone! It feels like it really hasn't been very long since I last updated, but I guess time flies, doesn't it? I've been busy working on that Fredrika thing, and I think it's pretty good! Anyway, this is the last really short chapter, so please don't be mad! I got alot of new reviews to respond to, so...

penguincrazy:
I'm so glad you loved the chapter! I agree that Patrick is over-reacting alot. I originally just wrote him like that for no reason, but I didn't like it, so instead of going back and changing it, I did the lazy thing and made up a cliche ending for him. I'm not really sure its a chliche, but I'm not completley happy about it... You can see what you think in chapter 12.

I'm so glad you like this! I wrote the fantastic five because I love writing about jealousy. It's my favorite emotion! Well, not really to feel, but I find it so interesting! People can mistake it for somthing else so easily, and the real reason behind it is usually so unexpected! That's why one of my favorite characters to write about is Petunia, when she was a kid. Anyway, here's the next chapter for you! ;)

MissCHSparkles:
Patrick does have a really big problem. I was actually thinking about naming the chapter Patrick's Problem, but I decided it would be a better name for another chapter. The Fantastic Five/Golden Trio scene is coming up next I think, and I hope Patty's (is that a really cheesy nick name?) reactions don't disapoint! Here's the update!

Vitzy:
No, don't worry. I feel bad for Brittany too. She's really such a mean person, but you can't help but wonder if she's only that way because she's been following Patrick around for such a long time. I honestly don't know. I've never thought that far into her character. I can tell you that he does not have a crush on Hermione, though I wish I had thought of that before I finished writing. That would have given even more of a reason for Brittany to hate her. Like I said before, there's going to be a little encounter next chapter, I'm pretty sure. I'm wondering if I should split the next chapter in two... Anyway, it would be cool if they could find out Hermione was a witch, but they can't. Oh well. I think Hermione would feel rather smug knowing she had a little secret. Thanks so much for R&Ring! Hope you like this next chapter!

I'm working on that Fredrika chapter, and I hope it's good! I'm not really used to writing on a deadline, except for non-fiction papers for school, but hopefully it will be ready by the saturday after next to keep with my update schedule. About the way Brittany and Eliza (especially Eliza) dress, they are around twelve and they do dress rather...er...in a manner that would not make their mothers proud. I tried to do that, but I think I may have gone a little bit over the top. I always imagined them with parents that aren't around and don't care very much. In the first Brittany chapter, you saw how her mom was more interested in her hat store than taking Brittany to school. I don't know about Eliza's mother, but I imagine she doesn't really have one, and her dad is a busy buisness man. I have to think that one over. But anyway, I never really thought about the school enforcing rules, I have to admit. The excuse I can make up is that this is the kind of school where the teachers don't care very much, or they have a high tolerance, or maybe they have decided that it is a better idea to leave Eliza and Brittany alone because their Dad's are important and sucessful people. It really was my mistake, but I hope those excuses make it fit a little better... :-/ Anyway, I hope that doesn't turn you off the story or anything... I hope you like this chapter!

azee12:
A new reviewer! And you wrote two reviews too! I'm so glad you like it! I'm sort of confused though. You say I should write more about what's going on at school. Do you mean Muggle school or Hogwarts? Anyway, the next chapter is a Hermione chapter! Did you really show this to your friend! That's so great! Thanks! I hope you like this chapter too!

jeremiah123:
Well, thanks again! ;)

Me:
Thanks! I did try to make Brittany slowly realize how petty all the problems in her life were. You'll see in this chapter that she really isn't getting better. I had to keep her bad for the next chapter, cuz a nice Brittany wouldn't really work for a Hermione/Fantastic Five confrontation. But she is still wondering about all that, and if she really is all that popular, and if it really matters at all. I hope you like this chapter!

Anyway, (I'm starting to realize I say that alot...) this chapter takes place on Brittany's last day of school, and she and her little group are discussing plans for the summer. It's short, but important, and I hope you like it!

Now, its Brittany's last day of school after a troublesome year

Last day of school. Last day of school! YES!

I had had a horrible last term, no a horrible year. All that Hermione business had really strained my friendship with Patrick. about a week after our last incident, we all made up, but it was very tiresome to have to watch what we said all the time.

Now, it was almost Summer. Tomorrow, I would have the ultimate freedom. No school work!

But Summer also meant that Granger would have to come home. No school, boarding or not, lets you stay all year. We had about 6 weeks to make her life hell. And knowing me, it would probably be worse.

I started to put on a crumpled school uniform. I picked up a used-to-be-crisp white shirt and left the first three buttons undone. Then, and a black tie, which I left hanging loose out of my grey vest. I didn't bother to tuck my shirt into my grey and black plaid skirt, and jammed my feet into my plain black mary-janes with 2 inch heels. I pinned back my bangs, and pulled my hair into a very wide bun almost on top of my head.

I walked downstairs, grabbing my backpack as I walked out the door. It was already warm out, so I hastily rolled up my sleeves and got into the car.

When I stepped out on to the school yard, I immediately started trudging toward my group.

I could see from there that Haden, as always, was dressed perfectly. Her white shirt looked almost stiff, and it was buttoned all the way up to her neck. The sleeves were rolled down too. Her tie looked like it was chocking her, and her wool vest didn't have a single wrinkle. All this was tucked into her skirt, and she was wearing sheer black tights with her black shoes. She must have been sweltering.

Eliza, with all the skin that she was showing, must have been freezing. She had cut her shirt so that it went down to her waist. The sleeves had been cut at about her elbow, but she had sewn them up so they were puffy to the middle of her forearm. Then, she had ripped off all the buttons and sewn a v neck almost as far as the shirt went down, lined with black ribbon which she tied in a bow at her waist. You could see her sparkly red under shirt through the v-neck. She was wearing the normal skirt, but for shoes, she was wearing high heeled black mid-calf boots. Her short, flaming hair was sticking out of multiple pig tails, all over her head. It was a strange ensemble, but it seemed to suit her some how.

They all seemed to be relaxed so I made my entrance with a simple, "Whats up guys?"

Carver looked over at me. "We were just discussing how we're going to get Hermione over the summer." He flashed a wicked smile.

I chuckled. "So what do we have so far?" I asked.

"Various ways of making her feel like a nobody." Eliza replied.

"Lets hear it." I said

Patrick seemed eager to reply. "So most of these were my idea. We can leave insults in her mail box, the old ones like 'ugly yarn head.', to make her remember who she really is. We can spread some nasty rumors about her, and if we get the chance, we can find her outside and make fun of her there. We can tell her how much better school is without her, and how her friends are probably the ones no one else will even look at."

I faltered. These were all such mean things to do. Patrick saw my look.

"Is—something wrong with my ideas?"

I started. "No—it's just—what if her friends are like, real boys and they hurt us?" I squeaked in my cover up.

Patrick threw back his head and laughed. "You think Granger really has friends?" He put in between cackles. "No. Way. And even if she does, they'll be weak little nerds, nothing we cant take on. Do you really think I'd let them hurt you?" he asked.

I smiled at his reassurance that he would never let anyone hurt me. Maybe he would ask me out soon. But I still felt that wormy feeling in the pit of my stomach.

This year, I had learned that no one was really a horrible person. But if I spoke out, I would loose my friends for sure. I knew what I had to do. I crossed my arms defiantly. Patrick gave me a look like, "you better not do that." But he read my defiance wrong.

I knew that from now until the moment we met, I would spend every second convincing myself of one thing. Hermione Granger is a horrible person. She has ruined my whole year. She is public enemy #1.

"I think all of that is a great idea." I said. "Hermione Granger will finally be getting what she deserves."

AN: Again, I'm sorry it's short but hopfully the next chapter will make up for it. Fantastic Five/Golden Trio encounter coming up on saturday! But also, what do you think is wrong with Patrick? I'm curios as to what you guys think, so please tell me in a review, which are much appreciated by the way... So I hoped you liked it, and I love you all for reading!
