"What are you two up to now?" Questioned Hermione Granger to her two best friends.
"Nothing...nothing at all!" With a quick sweep of his hand Ron Weasley quickly hid something behind his back.
"Please...like I didn't see that! Come on show it to me!"
"You won't like it at all Hermione." Hermione and Ron's best friend Harry Potter warned.
"That's ok, just show it to me already before I die out of curiosity." Hermione put her hands on her hips and made a pout.
"Aw Harry this is to fun, I say we never show it to her."
Harry laughed at Ron's comment, and Hermione started to protest.
"Ok, Ok, hold your horses Hermione, we'll show it to you!" Ron took out the object from behind his back and placed it on the table. Harry and Ron sat down in the two chairs by the fire place and waited for Hermione's reaction.
"A crystal ball, that's what you didn't want to show me, this rubbish." Hermione threw up her hands in disgust and looked at the two boys.
"Well, you see...we know how much you hate divivitation, and we didn't want you to get upset and all...". Harry started cracking his knuckles nervously.
"Harry stop doing that! Bad habits are hard to break and the longer...".
Ron cut in quickly to save Harry from one of Hermione's lectures, "Anyway back on the subject of the crystal ball...." He didn't really want to get back on the subject and upset Hermione but she was beginning to get into her lecture with such force it was scaring Harry.
"Oh yeah, so are you going to tell me what you were doing with the crystal ball? How did you get it? Did the Professor just give it to you?" Hermione asked with a smirk.
Ron started mumbling something with his head down and Harry looked the other way.
"Tell me"! Hermione yelled, the remaining people in the common room, mostly older students, turned to look at her and she blushed a deep red.
"You see...me and Harry thought it would be interesting to you know see our future or something...so we figured like maybe the Professors ball might work better or something....so we kinda took it...we'll give it back Hermione...you know we will". Ron continued looking down at his hands.
Hermione let out a gasp, "Of the most stupidest things you two have done, I must say this once certainly tops the list. On top of it divivitation is so fake, I can't believe you would waste your time on it".
"Just because you don't like it Hermione...." Harry interjected.
"Whatever, I don't care, but if you two get caught with that...."
"We won't Hermione, don't worry so much." Harry said in a soft tone.
Hermione stood up and started to head back to her dorm room when Ron came up from behind her.
"Wait! I didn't get a good night kiss!" Ron gave a lopsided grin at her and put on his Weasley charm.
Hermione laughed, and kissed Ron on the cheek. She could see Ron's ear tips turn slightly pink. She giggled and headed back up to her room.
Ron headed back to Harry and sat down looking at the ball in front of him, pretending to examine it.
Harry laughed, "Oh please, would you wipe that grin off your face. Honestly you should see yourself Ron." Still laughing Harry said, "Anyway I'm off to bed, it's getting late."
Ron let out a yawn and stretched, "Where should I stash the ball?"
"Stick it in the bottom of one of our trunks or something, or wrap it in my invisibility cloak better yet."
"Ok, goodnight Harry."
"Night Ron."
Ron watched Harry descend up the steps to their room. It had already been a week of school, their 6th year, and Ron couldn't help but like the start of it already. Hermione had come over to the Burrow for the summer for the last two weeks with Harry. Hermione....he couldn't get her off his mind.
They finally began a couple at the end of fifth year, and had admitted their feelings toward one another. The whole school was expecting it much to both his and Hermione's surprise. He just couldn't get over how wonderful she was, and how lucky he was to have her. Sure they still had their minor arguments, but nothing serious, plus making up was always the best part. Ron smiled at that thought and couldn't help but think of Hermione's kisses.
Feeling sleep wash over him he stood up and picked up the ball and headed to the sixth years boys dormitory. Shutting the door quietly behind him he noticed Harry was already asleep as were Dean, Seamus and Neville, snoring loudly as usual.
Opening Harry's trunk he took out the invisibility cloak and wrapped the crystal ball in it and put it back in the trunk. Closing it quietly not to wake the others he headed to the shower room. He grabbed his maroon towel, ragged and old, and turned on the water.
The cool water felt refreshing and he let the water drown his thoughts. Hermione as usual flooded into his mind. Honestly, lately he couldn't help but wonder about his future, or in correct terms he liked to think of it as their future. It was unlike him, prankster and all, to be thinking such serious thoughts, but that was what Hermione did to him. He actually started doing his homework and studying, expect divivitation of course.
He laughed out loud at the thought of divivitation and Hermione, and how poorly compatible they were. Putting the soap back on the rack and rinsing thoroughly he shut the shower off and stepped out. Wrapping the towel around him he looked at himself in the foggy mirror. He took his hand and rubbed it against the mirror, making it clearer. He had grown taller once again this summer, he was now 6'1, and poor Hermione was only 5'1, it was quite a ridiculous site, especially when they kissed. Ron blushed at his own thoughts and gave himself the once over. His muscles were bigger due to his quiditich obsession, he made the team last year as keeper and was absolutely ecstatic. He still couldn't get over it a year later.
Letting out a happy sigh he stepped into his chudley cannon boxers and walked out of the shower room. Climbing into his bed which was located between Harry's and Neville's he pulled the comforter over him and dreamt of Hermione.

Ron awoke to a shaking of his shoulders. He grunted and turned over and swatted the person with his hand who was shaking him.
"RON!"
"Geroff", Ron mumbles and sat up quickly at the loud volume his name was being screamed at. He saw a fully dressed Harry and the rest of the guys still in bed. He grunted once more and laid down again.
Harry threw the covers off him, "Ron, get dressed and get off your lazy arse."
"Why?" Ron looked at his clock, "It's 6 in the morning and a Saturday Harry, are you crazy?"
Harry shook his head, "No, but I want to use the crystal ball and see what we can do with it, without Hermione lecturing us about what rubbish it is."
Ron sighed and saw noticed the ball tightly tucked under Harry's arm, "But it is rubbish...."
Harry looked Ron in the eye, "And exactly who's idea was this in the first place?" Harry said impatiently tapping his foot.
Ron grunted and got up, he walked over to his wardrobe and took out his robes and lazily put them on. Taking his comb he did a quick run through his hair and headed to the door.
Now it was Ron's turn to be impatient, "You coming Harry?"
Harry laughed, "Forgetting something Ron?"
Ron shrugged and then felt the cold floor beneath his feet. Ron hit his head with his hand and laughed and went to his trunk and took out his shoes. Quickly putting them on he was out the door following Harry down to the common room.
Much to their surprise they were not alone. In the armchair that sat next to the bookshelf was Hermione reading yet another book.
Hermione heard the two boys and smiled and motioned for them to come over.
"What are you doing up this early?" Harry asked quizzically.
Hermione motioned to her book and continued, "I should be asking you two the same thing, especially you Ron, you never get up until at least 11 on Saturdays."
Hermione then took notice of the crystal ball under Harry's arm and her lips made a round circle.
"Oh."
"Your welcome to look at it with us Hermione." Harry said.
"You both know how I feel about divivitation...."
"Oh Hermione, you never know, maybe it will actually work. This is the one she kept in her closet, it's like sacred, she barley uses it, she preferres to look and admire it." Ron and Harry laughed.
Hermione sighed, disappointed they had the nerve to steal it, but something from divivitation neverless, a complete and utter waste. Putting down her book, a very thick one, she cleared the small table in front of her.
Harry and Ron took it as a yes and placed the crystal ball on it.
"Ok you two, now what?"
Ron and Harry looked at each other and shrugged.
Harry took the crystal ball and proceeded to make a joke of it, "Oh great crystal ball, show us our future and what is in store for us!" Violently shaking his arms around his head.
The three burst into a fit of giggles and could not stop until finally Hermione cut in.
"Guys people will be awake soon, if you want to do this, do it now."
Ron took his wand out and tapped it lightly on the crystal ball as he had seen the professor do so many times. A spark of red floated out of the wand and the three stood back shocked. Ron and Harry had never seen anything like that in class. Smoke started poring from the ball and fog began to surround it.
The three looked at each other in amazement and all the sudden the three felt very dizzy. Ron felt his head go light and he reached for Hermione's hand. Harry's stomach felt queasy and no more then a moment later were their feet lifted off the ground and the three sucked right into the crystal ball.

Ginny Weasley came down the stars from the 5th years girls dormitory, she had thought she heard a bang in the common room, but was apparently wrong. She looked around and saw no one and nothing out of the ordinary. She did not notice the crystal ball smoking on the small table in the corner of the common room or a copy of Hogwart's : A History, her best friends favorite book, laying forgotten on the floor.
