" What do I mean? Well Granger I believe that you'll have to discover it for yourself, after all you aren't anything but an annoying Know-it-all." Malfoy said drawling like he usually does.

Hermione looked at him pensive, then this book isn't so common after all, she thought.

"Malfoy just tell me one thing: are you gonna give the book or are you gonna make me waste my time?"

"Well, well it's not other than Gryffindor's chimpanzee." a screechy voice was made listen in the library. It was the conceit, self-center Pansy Parkinson, which who belongs to Slytherin.

"Pansy, from when you know how to read?" Hermione responded a bit indignant, nobody, ABSOLUTELY nobody call her a chimpanzee.

Above all that, Malfoy only looked with interest and he surely was waiting another exchange of insults between the 2 girls. But, obviously Hermione wouldn't give the pleasure to none of both, she preferred to ignore them just like she made in their fourth year.

" No before you, Know-it-all chimpanzee!" Pansy screeched while heading towards Malfoy.

As Hermione had decided that whatever Pansy told her would not cause any effect on her, she didn't respond anything. She laughed inwardly at seeing the expectant looks of the two dressed with green and silver adolescents.

" Aren't you gonna say anything Mudblood?" Malfoy asked, and said the last words slowly as if they were poisonous. Hermione that already knew he said that in a way to make her loose control, she need all of her force of will for simply not go and to slap Malfoy hard across his face.

"Hermione, is Malfoy bothering you?" a concerned Fred asked, which had just entered the library with his twin George.

"Here we are more than willing to kick his conceit Slytherin ass." George said in a cheerful voice, for the opportunity that was offered, and angry too.

"Nothing of importance." Hermione retorted while she headed toward the 2 redheads.

" What are you doin' here?" Hermione asked both.

"The question is: what are you doin' here?" a smiling George said with a blink.

"Reading."

"Rather about getting problems." a cheerful Fred responded.

"I was trying to read until I met with that pair." Hermione said pointing with her head towards inside the library (since they were in the entrance) to the two Slytherin that spoke in whispers, scheming something surely. "And you two, what are you doin' here?"

"You see, Hermione, that–" Fred began

"That's state's secret." George finished.

" ' Weasleys' Weezings', I suppose." At seeing the amusing faces of surprise of the twins her question was automatically answered. "Thank you boys. I'm going to the tower Gryffindor tower to look for to Ron and Harry."

Hermione left the library and she walked quickly among the numerous corridors of Hogwarts that were beautifully illuminated at those hours by natural light and not with gloomy brands. She arrived and faced the portrait of the 'Fat Lady'.

"Password?" the 'Fat Lady' said in a screechy but at the same time elegant voice.

"Matter Omnia Vincit" (work conquers all)

The portrait swung open revealing the warm common room that the Gryffindors shared. Hermione could not help but to wonder how the Slytherin common room was, since people said that it was in the dungeons. Surely very cold, she thought, not only for being there but also for the people that belong to that house.

"Hello Hermione." Harry said with a strange trembling voice.

"Hello" Ron said like usual.

"Hello." Hermione got near and asked, "What is goin' on with Harry?"

Ron smirked and Harry sent daggers to him.

"Nothing, is just that…" the nervous Harry began to said. "I want to ask to Cho if she would like to accompany us to Hogsmead this Saturday." he finished, saying the last part almost inaudible.

" Oh " was all that Hermione was able to said, since she didn't know what to tell her friend because she had never been in that situation.

They were playing for a time ' Explosive Snap', it almost exploit at her face. Ron won; it was kinda obvious that he was the only one of the three that had known those things all his life.

The lunch hour came and they went toward the Great Hall and sat down in their accustomed seats. Hermione looked to the Slytherin table and she saw the victory face, or rather the dog face that Pansy Parkinson put at seeing her; then she looked to Malfoy's face, who wasn't very far away from Pansy, and he maintained an emotionless face and glance while she looked at him.
