"Note From Editor"- Never assume, that all. Enjoy the story, I think it's really cool. You seem to find out something about Hermione. Let's hope it's good!!







"What's this" Harry said rummaging through the bag and pulling out Hermione's books



"Oh..I um...That's just my..." Hermione stammered



"Why do you have two bags?" Ron asked holding the past Hermione's divination book.



"Well you see...there's a good explanation for this..." Hermione froze in thought



Harry and Ron eyed her suspiciously for an answer.



"Is this just a spare?" Harry offered



"Yes!!!! It's a spare" said Hermione running and grabbing the bag from Harry "Just a spare, I usually get a lot of homework from you know, all the classes I've been taking"



Hermione nervously clutched the bag when she noticed Ron staring at her divination book.



"So why do you have two of these" asked Ron looking from her book to the one he was holding.



"Oh...that's just for....well"



"Just incase you loose one?" Harry added suspiciously.

"YES!!!" Hermione blurted out "you can never be to...um..Careful, you know".



Hermione looked around the room and back at Harry and Ron, who clearly doubted Hermione, was telling the truth.



"Well I'd better get going" Hermione broke the silence



"Where?" Ron suspiciously asked



"To the...um..well...I have to go to...I need to see...Professor Mcgonagall"



"I thought you said you were going to the Library" Ron's eyes narrowed



"Well.. I am but first I have to talk to professor Mcgonagall about dropping divination" Hermione managed.



Ron and Harry stared at her.



"Well it's not as if she wants me back" said Hermione angrily "And besides I wouldn't dare waste good time in such a class when I can get two lessons of Transfiguration in.



Harry and Ron looked at each other and laughed.

"What's so funny?"



"Nothing" Ron and Harry said in Unisom



Hermione stared at the both of them.



"It's like you're hiding a big secret, you're always doing this" Hermione paused and looked at Harry. "What's the deal, what are you not telling me"?



Harry opened his mouth to respond when the common room portrait hole flung open. Crookshanks waddled into the room and fixed his eyes on Ron's pocket. Ron protectively placed his hands over his pocket.



"Get him out of her Hermione!" Ron screamed

"Crookshanks has as much of a right to be here as Scabbers" Hermione protested



"Not when he's trying to commit murder!!!" Ron said angrily

Hermione frowned and picked up Crookshanks.



"Crookshanks likes Scabbers" Hermione said mushily more to Crookshanks than Ron.



"Well he's got a funny way of showing it" Harry added



Hermione's smile disappeared.



"Whatever" Hermione glanced over to the stairs leading to the girl's dormitory.



"Come on Crookshanks," said Hermione glancing at Ron and Harry "Let's leave these two love birds to their dwellings.



"I thought you were going to Mcgonagall's office," said Ron.



Hermione looked back tense.





"Well" said Hermione taking a deep breath "I'll go later"



"Why not now?" Ron asked, "You don't have anything to do"



"What do you mean I don't have anything to do?" Hermione said angrily



"I have plenty to do, just because I don't tell you where I'm going; doesn't mean I'm not going somewhere". Hermione's voice echoed through the common room, lifting the smile off of Harry's face. Hermione flipped her hair while turning and ascended the flight of stairs to the girl's dormitory. Where she placed Crookshanks on the bed and stuffed the past Hermione's book bag into her trunk. She sat on the middle of her bed, where Crookshanks sprawled down next to her and took out the Elipicule potion she stole from Snape's office.



"Motrus Colidandrum" she whispered examining the bottle. The yellow potion slid back and forth in the bottle, as she turned it around to view the context on the back. Hermione reached into her book bag and pulled out a tattered old book, she had gotten from the restricted section of the library. Hermione had bewitched a piece of paper to form Mcgonagall's handwriting, so that she could take it out. Hermione turned the book over to reveal the text on the front.



"Magic of The Dark Arts" she read aloud while turning over the cover to reveal the next page. Hermione didn't have that much of an experience with dark magic but gladly took on the task. She had written down a few spells to get past Snape's charms, so that she could get the Elipicule potion. The Elipicule potion was an important ingredient in conjuring the spell for the Avada Kedavra . This curse was used by Lord Voldermort to kill Harry Potter and his family. Unfortunately Voldermort failed to kill Harry because of his mother.





And now it was up to Hermione to help.
