Changing Times

A/N = Ok, I am *so* sorry that it has been a while, but my inspiration has been like "poof", and I had these two storylines that I need to merge together somehow... This chapter is different than the rest of them, but I hope this makes sense to you. :)

Psyco Airhead = Ok, you may not find out what time they're in in this chapter... But keep reading. :)
Draco's Princess = Hi!!! I really don't mean to make you scared... :) Well, I kind of lost track with this fic a long time ago, so it is turning out totally different than I expected...
Amy Potter = Hi Amy! Oh, that's what 'dada' stands for... I should have known. :) Why is Ron stupid??? I think he's nice. And it was cool how he tricked her, wasn't it...? *LoL*
Lady Alendrial = Confusing??? Then wait 'till you read this chapter! Thanks for reading, thanks for reviewing, and thanks for thinking it's good. :)
E. C. R. Potter = Hi again! Don't worry, it's H/He... I'm sorry, I realize that the chapters have been lacking some H/He action... That's pretty much the reason of this fic. That and another thing. Which you will find out in a few chapters. :)
hermioneharry4ever = Talk about faithful reviewers!!! Do you get paid for this or something...? No, it's nice that you're reviewing. :) Just you wait and see, and I am sorry if I may confuse you (all of you) in later chapters...

Thanks for reviewing, all of you!!! I want you to know how much I appreciate it! :)

Chapter 7 = Ronless

--------------------------------------

...I *do not* like Harry... I *do not* like Harry... I *do* like Harry... Aww, crap! Who am I kidding, of course I love him, no, *like* him. Like, love, whatever. But it's all right having him as a friend... I guess.

"Hermione?" Great, now I'm visioning again. "Hermione? Herm?" Get out of my mind, you freak! ...You very handsome, very attractive freak... "HERM!" Whoops, he's really here.

"What?"

"I was just wondering if you knew where Ron and miss Lochiavo went? They have been gone for quite some time now." Oh, listen to his dreamy voice... No Hermione, you have to pull yourself together... tighten the grip, stop it, whatever. Just don't glare at him like that... - I said no!

"What? Oh, them... No I don't know. They're probably-"

"-What, you're talking to your boyfriend again, Granger???" Him! Malfoy! Jerk! Relax Hermione; find your inner cool...

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Oooh, the Slytherins are laughing, and I'm "so" scared right now.

"Ooh, we're tough today, are we? Why doesn't your little boyfriend protect you? It's not like every other girl at Hogwarts looks better than you... Oh wait, they do..."

"Harry, NO!"

Too late. He is already on his way over to where Draco is sitting. And I can't even stop him now. Yes, now he's started another fight. Ok, to be fair, Malfoy starts most of them, but... Oh no, the fight is heating up... where are you when we need you, miss Lochiavo...?

"Stop!" I yell. I have no other way than to... "Humpidal Errul!" Blue powder comes out of my wand and covers Malfoy... it disappears again, and now he's frozen... I would feel bad for him if I didn't hate him...

"Thanks Hermione," Harry says.

"You are welcome. But you shouldn't have started a fight Harry, why did you do it?"

"Uh..." he looks at his shoe. "I just... well, he was insulting you, and I didn't... I didn't want him to," he says, almost in a whisper. I can't believe this. Harry Potter started a fight because of me...

"Harry..." I start. But the bell interrupts me. Harry suddenly looks distracted.

"I wonder where Ron and miss Lochiavo went..." Now he's talking about miss Lochiavo again. If I didn't know better, I would say he has a crush on her... But that is ridiculous. And he is right. Ron does not just disappear like this. He might be in trouble.

"Yes, me too," I say. I take his hand. "Why don't we go look for them?"

"Let's do that," he replies.

We exit the class. I take one last look over my shoulder to see that Goyle and Crabbe are desperately trying to break my curse. That's for not paying attention. If they had, they would have known that the curse wears off in an hour or so.

I wonder where Ron and our teacher can be. Harry says that we should check the basement too. I don't know why, but that basement gives me the creeps, so I was kind of hoping we could avoid going there. But I don't think we can. They could be there, and what's the harm in checking?
