MornirDragon: Thanks for the review and info. Yea, Jessica was Hermione's Best Friend before Hogwarts. I'll give more background this chapter.

AmyChris: Thanks, and you know very well she's going to be there for a bit, sorry, I know sucks, but I have special plans for her.. Mwahehehehe...

The promise ring idea came from the fic, 'The Boy Who Loved Lily', so you know what I'm going to say, read it!!

Sorry for the delay of this chapter, I've been so busy lately, Colorguard practice, school, sleep! Hope you guys like this chapter.

BTW, everything in italics is what they are thinking. Also, there is foreshadowing.


It's been over a month and Jessica hasn't done a thing. Hermione smiled to herself as she felt the wind blow around her. But what if she's planning something, I better be on guard. Hermione looked up one more time and headed to her dorm to get ready for their date tonight.

"Harry, I need your help!" Ron yelped as he was looking for a pair of pants.

Harry sighed, This is the 4th time this week, I'm going to make him write down what he wore on each date so I don't have to remind him every single time. "What now? No you already wore those pants on Monday. You know she won't notice Ron"

Ron rolled his eyes, "Yes she will, she noticed when I wore my shirt again."

"Well that's because it was the orange shirt, it's quite hard to forget a shirt like that." Harry rolled over his bed and felt a frame hitting him. He took it out and saw a picture of him and Ginny. That was one beautiful day. Before Harry could reminisce Ron interrupted him.

"Okay how do I look?" Ron did a 360.

"Great! Now go before you're late."

Ron nodded and basically leaped out of the room.

"He has it bad.." Harry chuckled and his thoughts went back to Ginny.

Hermione heard 9 chimes, "He's late" She started pacing around and checked the clock every 2 seconds.

Ron ran in and said breathlessly, "Sorry I'm late." Ron looked at her, She looks beautiful, now tell her. "You look.. beautiful, you know pink looks great on you."

"Thanks handsome, so what are we doing?"

"Don't worry, just wait right here, I'll be right back."

"Don't take too long," Hermione said while Ron left.

Now's my chance, I finally got that thing by herself.

"Hey, you're back so soon?"

"Yeah, now close your eyes."

"Okay," Hermione closed her eyes while 'Ron' led her to a closet and stuffed her in there and locked the door.

She changed to Hermione, "I'll make sure Ron has a fun time tonight."

"GET ME OUT OF HERE YOU LITTLE LITTLE... GRRRRRRRRRRR!"

"Aww, poor Hermione can't even curse when she's pissed off.. maybe that's why everyone just steps all over you."

"Ron will know that you're not me."

"Bye here comes lover boy now.." She casts a silence charm on the door.

That little bitch. Little did Jessica know, that Ron saw the whole thing unfold before he could respond. I know what do to, but I have to be 'fooled' for a bit. He put a big smile on his face and yelled. "Hermione dear, come over here."

Just what I thought, he's as stupid as he is cute. "Coming love!" She walked Hermione-like over to Ron and put her arm around his waist.

Ron tensed at her touch, but calmed down. She has to believe that I don't know that she's not Hermione. "Let's go by the lake."

Jessica nodded, Idiot.

(A few hours later)

Jessica leaned in to kiss Ron, but he moved back and stood up. Jessica followed, "Hey baby, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, but you know what's our favorite way to kiss" Ron said with a twinkle in his eye, she doesn't expect one thing. Ron held her by her neck and pushed her slowly into he lake.

Boy, are they freaks or what, but whatever, I get to kiss her boyfriend.

Thanks goodness the merpeople agreed with me. Suddenly, he saw them and pushed Jessica backed. "You bitch, how dare you take Hermione and pretend to be her, you think you're so smart, but guess what, now you're the one that's played."

At that she changed back and but before she could lunge at Ron one of the mermen caught her at the waist and forced her underwater. They nodded at Ron.

"You can let her back in maybe in an hour, 'til then do what you please." The merpeople submerged under water. Ron ran inside and found the closet that contained Hermione and unlocked the door to find her sleeping. God, she looks like an angel.

"What took you so long? So did the plan work?"

"Yea we have about an hour before she comes back soaking wet."

"Thanks"

"Now since I was such a good boyfriend you want to tell me what she did to you."

"Not here, follow me." Ron followed her to an abandoned tower. Hermione conjured up a couch and sat down.

"Well, we became friends in 1st grade; we were the best of buds, we were the outcasts of the class. We told each other everything, I even told her the weird things I could do when I got extremely emotional." Hermione took a long pause. Ron waited until she continued.

"When we we're in 5th grade, these weird encounters were more frequent. While I became more studious, she became more popular and boy crazy, but we would still talk, but little did I know, whatever I told her she told the whole school by the next day. I was so naïve, for almost a month I would say that someone was listening in on our conversations, but there she was laughing at me." She slapped herself over her head, "Stupid!"

Ron put his arm around her, "No Hermione, she's the idiot, I would have been fooled too."

"Yeah, but, I don't know, but it's all in the past now,"

"Hmm.. yeah, the past, I wonder what's going to happen in the future?" Ron said with a laugh.

Hermione giggled, "Yeah, we better steer clear of her."

"I'm going to get those assholes back, if it's the last thing I do!" Jessica yelled as she walked back to the castle.

"I think I can be of assistance"
