Hope you like this Chappie, the first one was a bit crap - even I admit that! Lol!

~ Earth-Quake - Or Not ~

It was Thursday night at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Most the students and teachers were in the hall eating their Tea (dinner - whatever you call it) but not Hermione Granger and Minerva McGonagall - they were walking down from the Transfiguration room having a disagreement.
"Professor McGonagall please, the house elves are not doing anyone any good not getting paid - well apart from slavery for nothing. If I could only put a few of these hats I've been making around the school - more of them will be free!" Hermione begged her teacher, who was annoyed with her student going on about the house elves and their freedom.
"Hermione if you don't shut up I will take 50 points off you - yes my own house! If I have told you once, I've told you twice - you are not leaving those things lying around this school!"
"AARGH YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!!!" Hermione shouted, storming off to the Great Hall followed by McGonagall.

"Take it she's still against it then?" Ron asked his friend as she slammed some food onto her plate - not looking at it.
"No, she is deliberately doing this to ruin my life AND the house elves! Harry you ask her, she'll say yes to you - you are Harry Potter after all!"
"No Hermione, don't use that one on me! Just let it rest for a while and then ask her again!"
"AARGH why is everyone out to ruin my life! Is it too much to ask for? I'm going to ask Dumbledore - he took in Winky and Dobby, he'll know where I'm coming from!" she got up and walked towards the staff table at the far end of the hall.
"Professor Dumbledore, I was just wondering if I could ask you something - it's important!" Dumbledore nodded for her to carry on.
"Well you see the thing is, I have been knitting these little hats for the."
"MY DEAR GIRL DID I NOT TELL YOU TO SHUT UP WITH THAT? You are not leaving your little hats about the school littering the place - it's bad enough in the common room! Please come through here!" McGonagall said pointing to the door that Harry, Cedric and the other champions of the Triwizard Tournament went last year. Hermione followed her teacher into the room.
"What do you think you were doing asking Dumbledore something, that I said you couldn't do? Don't you think he's got far more important things to do than to worry about your pathetic attempts to free the house elves???"
"Pathetic, you think it's right to enslave them?"
"They aren't complaining are they?"
"That's because they aren't allowed, brainwashed by 'obeying your master!' they don't think for themselves anymore - that's part the reason I want to free them!"
"Hermione Granger you are not getting the point, this whole world does no evolve around you!"
"AARGH YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!" "Cookie!" said a Squeaky voice; the arguing couple looked down and saw a Chinese house elf looking up at them, holding a tray with two cookies on. "It's not the time for cookies!" said McGonagall to the unknown house elf
"But it is!" the elf squeaked, then started talking in Chinese pointing backwards and forwards between the humans - who to shut the elf up took the cookie. The elf disappeared.
"You said, listen you are just a 15 year old girl and don't really understand the real world and the importance of not worrying Dumbledore with stupid problems like this! You used to be so quiet and hard working, it's a shame you are wasting your time with this!"
"Sorry if I'm not little miss Perfect - but you cannot say I don't work hard or that my grades aren't up to standard! I am sorry that I don't have a smooth, perfect life like yours!"
"You think my life is perfect? You are seriously mistaken girl!"
"Well that's what it seems like, and you hate me because I am not the girl you want me to be!"
"I want you to be the girl you are - but if you don't see why not troubling Dumbledore over this then you seriously need a reality check, Lord Voldemort is now back to power and probably has a plan up his sleeve WE don't need a little girl fussing over house elves!" Hermione screamed and walked through a door on the other side of the room, closed it, lent on it and opened her cookie.
McGonagall who stood on the other side of the door lent against it and opened her cookie.

'A journey soon begins,
It's prize reflected in another's eyes,
When what you see is, is what you lack,
Then self-less love will bring you back'

"Whatever!" Hermione said scrunching the paper up and putting it in her robe pocket. Next minute the room started to shake - violently and then stopped all of a sudden. She opened the door and saw McGonagall wearing the same scared look as herself.
"You ok?" McGonagall asked her.
"Yeah you?"
"Yes!"
The teacher and student both made their way across the room to the Great Hall, everyone was sitting down and didn't look like anything had happened! McGonagall went over to the staff table to see if any of them had felt the earth shake - none of them knew what she was talking about!
Hermione went back to her seat at the Gryffindor table.
"Did you feel that? It was rather scary wasn't it?" she said to her two best friends.
"Feel what exactly Hermione?" Harry asked her.
"The Earth-quake, you can't say you didn't the building was shaking madly!"
"Hermione we have no idea what you're talking about. There was no Earth-quake!" Ron said with a puzzled look on his face. Hermione confused looked up at McGonagall and the other teachers - all seemed puzzled as well and Hermione would have betted all her galleons it was for the same reason Ron and Harry were!

~ I thought that was a lot better than the first Chappie, what do you think? - It is obviously different to the way it is in the film, MAIN reasons - Hermione and McGonagall aren't mother and daughter and they are also in a MAGIC school! It isn't like any of my other fics (full of sex) cos the film isn't full of sex!!!
