Hey everybody! I'm back! Technically I never was gone…but anyway I was sick today so I stayed home from school! I'm feeling a bit better now so I figured I might as well add another chapter! Only one more review until 60! I'm hoping for over 100!

DarkAngelGirl: Hermione is definitely weird all right. I'm not even sure if people enjoy her much anymore. Is it just me or is this story turning into one of those cheesy insanity fics where nothing makes since? No offense to anyone who writes those. I just need some input.

Jaffacake: I'm glad you like Super Hermione! Same thing happens to me when I watch that movie. Thanks for not thinking it's cruddy; I hope this one is better.

Returnoftheoliophaunt: Don't worry; I'd never hurt P. Weezy…much. Lol, j/k. I have a somewhat idea of who the figure will be.

Lyn Black: I've actually seen a costume like Hermione's, but it was made out of credit cards. Guys never understand anything.

Marionette: I'm glad that you don't think it's cruddy either! I want a costume like Harry's!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Scooby-doo!

Chapter Fourteen

Harry had been up every night for a whole week trying to decide who the shadowy figure should be. Could it be Snape? Draco? Neville? There were just too many to pick from. Harry sighed. He'd just have to go with his gut instinct.

Chapter Fourteen:

Strangers In The Night

A rush of loud shrieks and screams entered the Great Hall. Everybody was panicking, for they had no idea what was going on. Their yells were interrupted by a mysterious booming voice. "Citizens of Hogwarts, I am your greatest nightmare! No, I'm not He-Who's-Name-Takes-A-Long-Time-To-Say. I am an evil even worse than that…" The voice was cut short by Hermione Granger who flipped on the lights and rushed to the location of the voice. On her way she plucked a CD from her dress and threw it. It hit whoever the voice was and the microphone hit the floor with a loud *thud*. The bearer of the voice was wearing a large cat suit and was putting up a quite a fight. He was no match for Hermione though. She had studied for three years at the Crouching Tiger academy and could kick some major butt.

Harry started cracking up. Hermione Granger could barely kill a fly, there was no way she could go kung fu on anybody. Still, it was a funny thought.

Within minutes Hermione had the speaker in a headlock. "SHUT UP AND LISTEN!" she yelled to the screaming masses. She smiled sweetly and continued, "Through much examination of clues ("What clues?" murmured the crowd) I have come to the conclusion that this cat thing could be no other than…" She slowly pulled of the head to the cat costume and revealed…

"Old man Smithers? Um…I mean Filch!" yelled Harry and Ron quite puzzled.

"Yes indeed. Filch hates all kinds of fun and parties because they ruin his freshly polished floor. He also wanted revenge on Professor McGonnagall after she refused to go out with him." concluded Hermione looking very smug.

"How could you refuse me Minerva?" spat Filch. "I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids and their pesky ferret!"

"Oh…him?" questioned Ron while gesturing to Malfoy, "He isn't with us."

"Oh shut up you foil covered truffle thing," said Filch to Ron extremely bitter.

"For the last time! I'm a GOLDEN SNITCH!" cried Ron, "Hagrid! Sick Snookums on him!" The very minute Ron uttered those words Snookums, the snifflevonvanderwerkenshizner, burst out of its cage and attacked Filch.

"My baby's all grown up now!" blubbered Hagrid.

Harry grinned. It was just like Hagrid to get all emotional like that. He was a big mad with even bigger feelings. [A/N That was cheesy, I know, I know].

"Quiet down my peeps!" shouted Percy who now had hold of the microphone. "Who woulda thunk that creepy jive turkey Flich would have been the evil dude?! Anyway, this next song goes out to Hermione Granger from Neville Longbottom for bein' such a butt-kickin chick!" Percy's voice instantly mellowed out as he began to sing. The heartfelt medley of "Hero" floated through the Great Hall. Hermione stepped into the center of the dance floor and took Neville's hand. He was even handsomer than Oliver Wood.

"How sweet," sighed Ron as Harry just stared at him. Ron instantly realized that Hermione, his girlfriend, was dancing with another guy. And she looked quite happy with it at that! "I can't believe it! He's gonna pay!" growled Ron as he stomped to the dance floor…

Harry stared at his screen with a very smug look on his face. He was getting really good at these "cliffhanger" things.
