Hermione is rather OOC... I've been really busy, and now my cousin is in town from Japan, so we are hanging out with him before they ship him to Nevada. As always, REVIEW, because reviews make me keep writing! Lots of love to you all! Oh, and summer finally came to Washington!


NUMBER FORTY-ONE: CURSING THE BOY WHO LIVED IS FROWNED UPON.

Hermione had her head resting against her fist as she watched Harry pace back and forth railing at her. She twirled her wand around her fingers and rolled her eyes. She hoped he would run out of material soon.

"I just can't... Malfoy... You... Oh Merlin..." He kept pacing and muttering. She finally stood up and walked to the kitchen, Harry trailing behind her still muttering. She set about making a cup of tea, watching Harry continue to pace. He finally glanced up at her. She quirked an eyebrow at him.

"Hermione..."

"Harry."

"How could you... I mean Malfoy... Are you..." He trailed off. A deadly gleam entered her eye, and she started twirling her wand again.

"Am I what, Harry?" Her eyes were narrowed, but Harry didn't seem to notice.

"Are you his whore now?" He finally burst out. Hermione's jaw dropped.

"HARRY!"

"Well its the only explanation Mione! Why would you throw over Ron, and get with that... that... HIM!"

"Petrificus Totalus!" Harry hit the floor. Hermione walked over to him and crouched down so she was looking at him face to face.

"As you are my friend, I wont hex your balls off for that one, but do not think of coming near me until you apologize for not only saying that, but for barging into my bedroom without knocking." She stood, and flicked her wand, levitating him towards the common room door. She pause when she got to it though.

"I will have to punish you." She grinned when she said this. With a couple of expert flicks of her wand, Harry was stripped of his clothes, and his pants transfigured into a pair of ruffled, lacy, hot pink knickers. She then slipped a sign over his head reading 'Ask me what I did'.

"The sign is charmed. It will read a variety of embarrassing things. Only I can remove the sign, but the knickers... Well, Ginny is the only one who will be able to get those off. Have fun explaining this one to the Headmistress." With a taunting grin, she waved her wand, and banished him to the Great Hall. She turned and headed for the stairs, finally spotting Draco sitting at the top of them.

"That was brilliant Mia." She grinned at him.

"Wasn't it though? He'll probably apologize as soon as Ginny gets it through his head. In the meantime... where were we?" She laughed, grabbed his hand, and dragged him back into her bedroom.
