A/N – FF.Net will FINALLY let me upload chapters!! I wrote this chapter on the 12th… and it is the 18th now… haven't written anymore since then cause of all the problems ff.net is fixing and so forth, so yes, my lovely pattern has been ruined… but here is Chapter 12, should be interesting… I forgot all that it is about, and I am too lazy to re-read it, I will have to I suppose before I can get my next chapter out.. but Oh well --- Yes, there are tons of A/N cause I wrote one like each day… LOL =) whelp – I'm gonna go try to get this one uploaded!!
A/N - *sigh* Fanfiction.net is STILL down – Yes – I am very sorry – it is going to be like the 16th by the time I get this chapter out, and I will not be up with the date. =( Oh – the next chapter will be the Fall Festival!! YAY!! My plan is to take Harry and Hermione's relationship up a notch, depending on the mood I am in when I write the story – I have been sorta sick over the weekend (still am a bit). So I may not get them out as fast (the tons of homework doesn't help me any) so – Hope ya'll like this chapter! Keep Reviewing!!
Disclaimer – Though I would love to own all of Harry Potter and everything (though ya'll are probably glad I don't – I write horribly compared to JKR!) I don't own anything (All is JKR's) but what I like to think as mine – THE PLOT!! – but if you see it anywhere else… I guess it isn't mine =(
ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll CHAPTER 12 ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll
"Mornin' Herm" Harry said giving her a hug from behind.
"Hey Harry" Hermione said not looking up for she was haunched over the table writing something.
"What are you looking for this time?" Harry groaned.
"Nothing, Silly" Hermione replied lightly, "I'm writing a letter"
"To whom?"
"Jeez, aren't you a tid bit nosy this morning. Well for your information I am writing my mum."
"I'm afraid to ask, is there a reason?"
"Harry!"
"Sorry…"
"Of course there is a reason you dunderhead!"
"Okay…" Harry said cautiously afraid of her yelling at him again, "I'm going to go down to Breakfast, see you soon!"
"Alright, I'll come in a sec." Hermione called after him.
Hermione was not writing to her parents, in fact she was writing to Sirius Black, Harry she knew had been having bad dreams again from the look on his face and he was always a bit tired. Thought she didn't have any concrete evidence she figured that she should talk to Sirius.
Sirius –
Hi, hope you are doing well, I wanted to talk to you about Harry. He has been acting strange lately, I think that he maybe having those dreams again, or his scar is hurting cause he looks like he is in pain sometimes. I probably should ask him, but I wanted to know if he has written you or something, just was wondering. I have to go or else I will miss breakfast, How is Lupin?
~Hermione
Rolling up her parchment she went to the Owlery and sent an old school owl since she didn't want Harry to notice Hedwig missing, and she didn't think that Pig would make it. After watching the owl fly away she hurried down to the Great Hall, to her surprise Harry wasn't there, yet Lavender was. Thinking this was odd she twirled around to see Malfoy sitting at the Slytherin table. She had to go find Harry, so she grabbed a pastry and left the Great Hall.
Hermione looked around, but didn't see Harry and it was time for their first period class, so she decided she would just talk to him after Herbology. So she headed off to the greenhouses.
ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll
"Harry!" Hermione said rushing up to him during their morning break.
"Oh, Hi Herm."
"Why were you so quiet in Herbology?
"I was just thinking…"
"About?"
"Ron, Lavender, Draco, you, me, just everything." Harry sighed.
"Did you see that they were back??"
"How could I of missed it, Lavender was hanging all over me, so I went back to the common room, and you were gone, so I went up to see Ron."
"You would think she would be, I dunno a little more spaced out, so does Ron still think she is perfectly innocent?"
"Afraid so, but who knows… we really don't have any proof."
"Harry, are you alright?"
"Yea… why?"
"You just seem oh I dunno like you are… I dunno, Hey we got only 2 minutes to get to charms, then after that we'll have an hour till you go to Divinations and I go to Arithmancy. So lets get a move on, then after charms we can go see Ron."
"Okay Herm, you have this all planned out don't you?"
"Yup, don't I always?" Hermione smiled.
ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll
Flitwick kept the class longer teaching them a new complexed charm that hardly anyone paid attention to, for they were all longing to go out in the Fall weather, it was beautiful outside.
Right after Flitwick allowed them to go, Hermione and Harry hurried up to the Hospital Wing.
"Hey Ron," Harry and Hermione said sitting down next on chairs next to him.
"Hey you guys! What's wrong?" Ron said noticing the down looks on their faces.
"Hmm.. nothing." Hermione replied quickly.
"Well, we just wanted to say that…" Harry began but drifted off.
"That, well… Lavender and Draco are back." Hermione finished for him.
"Oh, that's all? Lavender already came up to see how I was doing and apologized for everything Draco made her do." Harry and Hermione looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
"She did?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, see I told you guys that she would never mean to hurt me, all I can say is when I find out what Malfoy did to her…" Ron said going on and on about what he would do to Malfoy.
30min later…. Ron is still talking about what he will do to Malfoy while Harry and Hermione just nodded their heads glances at each other every once in awhile. Harry even gave a few suggestions.
"Hey, sorry to break it to you Ron, but we really need to go to class now…" Hermione said.
"Yea, believe me, we can all think of stuff to do to Malfoy that is fun! But I got to go get my death predicted."
"Oh alright… can you two come by after? Cause it gets really lonely, Lavender said that she may come up tonight also…"
"We'll see Ron" Hermione said giving him a small smile. Then both her and Harry left the Infirmary to go to class.
ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll
"Brown" Malfoy hissed.
"Malfoy?"
"Yes, come with me…" with that Lavender followed Malfoy deep into the castle.
ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll-ll
"Okay, what did you want?" Lavender said impatiently.
"You know how the Fall Festival is coming up tomorrow?"
"Yes, and no I will not go with you Draco! It would be too obvious" Lavender added with a scowl.
"No, believe me, that is the last thing I would ever want to do…."
"Good, the feeling is mutual."
"Yes, but that is not what we are suppose to be talking about!!"
"Oh yea, so what about the Fall Festival?"
"Well, I heard Mudblood and Scarface were going together, and.." Draco started.
"You want to do something drastic at the party, to impress your dad, Snape, and make Potter and Granger look like complete idiots?" Lavender finished for him.
"Precisely, You know me so well." Draco said while Lavender just rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," she commented, "So what are you going to do?"
"We are going to… well that's why I brought you here! To brainstorm! Seriously, people these days…"
"Yes but recall I am suppose to be making amends with Ron, can you believe that he thinks that I acted only because you threatened to hurt me? I mean how dumb can you get?"
Draco gave a hearty laugh, "Yes, Weasel never had much sense did he?"
"Yes, I suppose he really doesn't does he?" Lavender smiled.
"About Potter and Granger, what could we do?"
Lavender sighed then said, "I don't know…," then a sudden idea came to her, "DRACO!! Why didn't we think of this before??"
"What?"
"I got the perfect plan!" Lavender squealed.
"Tell me!" Draco demanded and Lavender whispered something in his ear.
A mischievous glint came into Draco's eyes, "That would work nicely, I can see it now… I knew you weren't a complete waste!"

A/N – *yawns* - Fanfiction.net isn't gonna come up till Monday or later.. – October 15, 2001… or now later.. I'll still try to get out the appropriate amount of chapter's but.. I dunno… they'll have no reviews.. can I stand that? =) hehe I think I can =) whelp here to y'all (it looks better ya'll personally…) who were able to review before Fanfiction.net compacted into not allowing anyone to review =( But thanks to all of you who did!! Actually getting out the right number of chapters is gonna be too hard since my teachers packed me with homework… so ya'll will have to deal with just having one!! =) SORRY! Also I am reading fanfics more again, so I may not get a chapter a day out, I'll still aim for one a day – one every other day… but it is gonna be hard to work out… =( =)
Da Lab Rat – Thank you so much for reviewing!! You really brightened my day =) glad you like it! If you read above it says how I am planning on continuing to update – I am already behind on my keep up with the date thing because of lost of time, and fanfiction.net being down…. =( =)
Jos8 – what is wrong with expecting too many reviews??? =) I like reviews, and if you have kept up with this story from the beginning, you know I will post everyday a new chapter! (remember that will change here for awhile as I get more and more homework. =( jeez teacher's these days… =) – glad you like it =) and Thanx – do you really think it is getting better everyday? *Grins*
Jay – Glad that you want me to finish just cause you Love my story =) hehe – sorry, but I may be making you wait in more suspense by not updating everyday… sorry about that =) unless you don't come back everyday – which is totally understandable! =)
Dracona – Hmm… reform Draco…….. possibly – and don't worry – if Lavender and him are both reformed… then they will not be put together – also recall from one of my earlier responses to a review of yours – maybe they don't like what their parents have arranged for them? They weren't exactly thrilled about the whole marrying aspect… so just wait and see =) – and was that sarcastic "They're holding hands everyone cheer. YAY!" if so I resent that! =( hehe =) Yes, their romance is going slow.. but I had planned that it sped up.. but I just keep postpone it for some odd reason… and since next chapter is the Fall Festival… it'll probably speed up quite a big deal! =)
Okay – this chapter took me the whole weekend to write, cause I was busy doing other things – so.. SORRY that there isn't a 15th chapter today cause of the date – actually I don't think ff.net is going to let us post chapters for awhile, so I may get another up ;) hehehehehe – so.. well… I had something I really wanted to say.. but I forgot it.. so… hope ya'll liked this chapter!!
