AN: OK, I'm sorry. I am sorry for two things: (a) I wrote that it was the 31st of October when it was the 30th (that way they DID NOT forget to open the package thing-ys, thanx Spaz.) and (b) Last chapter really SUCKED!!!!! Sorry ::dodges tomatoes and other things including Elmo's new shoes:: Although it was a tid bit fluffy. ::shivers discontentedly:: I guess if I do fluff, it better be in a short chapter!!! OK, anyhoo.

Sorry sorry sorry sorry. I have been the ever-long sick. I went to the doctors and got ANOTHER bag of meds. Mmmm-Mmmm good.

Disclaimer: I am JK Rowling. I am writing this on FF.net just for fun, to see if anyone reviews. HAHAHAHAHAHAhAhAHAHHAHAHAHAH. Yeah, right. Excuse me while "the nice young men in clean white coats" take me away to inject something in me and give a comfortable padded walled room.

Oh, btw, that quote was from "They're Coming to Take Me Away" by: Dr. Demento's Delights. Really good song, download it. ::people shout about how crazy the song is and why do I know about it:: My dad heard this song in the sixties, he is a bit off.

Chapter 10 (double digits YAY): Therapist Hermione

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing

I have no choice, I hear your voice

Feels like flying

I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling

Out of the sky, I close my eyes

Heaven help me... -Madonna "Like a Prayer" (AN: Goodness that was long, and it wasn't even the whole song!!)

~*~**~*~**~**~*~

It was Halloween. Saturday, October 31st. A festive day, and a festive feeling for two Hogwarts students.

Hermione went on with her Saturday as normal, save a mental conversation or two with her Other Mind, (AKA: D.R. Malfoy). (AN: Her Other Mind makes Mione sound like a schizo!)

"Hi, 'Mione! Happy Halloween," Ron greeted after his two hour, mandatory Quidditch practice for their game against Ravenclaw next weekend. "You should've come Dean handed out candy afterwards. Bloody rowdy team, we are. George sicced his Chocolate Frog on Angelina. She's got one set of vocal cords, she does!"

Hermione smiled good-naturedly and got up from her resting position on a red plush couch situated in a far, secluded corner. "Wish I could have seen the Lovers' Spat afterwards. Angi must have been steaming!"

"Yeah. Come to think of it, she was pretty bulgy eyed." Harry mentioned while trying to hold back a chuckle. Hermione smiled slightly.

"Best it's Hermione the Therapist today." Hermione dutifully got up in search of a battered Angelina.

"Angi?" Hermione knocked softly on the 7th year dorms. Their was a muffled consent, so Hermione pressed into the room.

"Angi? You know George was trying to get a laugh, right?" Hermione peered in to see a face covered in tears and...ugh, snot!

"A FROG!" Angelina replied wetly, sniffling.

"Angelina, honey, why don't you tell me what happened. Something tells me that the boys didn't exactly portray this correctly." Hermione took a seat at the edge of the bed nearest the window, that being Angelina's and all.

"Well," she sniffled, "I was just telling Dean how clumsy I can be when I dropped my hole package of Bertie Bots. So, naturally, I bent over to pick them up..." She wiped at her messy face with a soaked handkerchief. "And, my robes are a little loose, (I lost weight this summer), and George charmed his Frog to attack me! He threw it, because it backfired and started to bite him. Well, I was still collecting a few beans off the ground. The Chocolate Frog flew into my upper robes and" -Angelina started to sniffle again- "and it started attacking my...you know, and now my unmentionables are torn up and I have chocolate everywhere. Absolutely everywhere!"

Hermione stared on, shocked. She didn't know Chocolate Frogs could actually attack, let alone tear lacy clothing apart. "L...let me see the damage." She said calmly.

Angelina held up something. It was *supposed* to be a bra. The piece of clothing was held up by two white straps, covered in chocolate. The rest was torn to shreds, leaving an occasional piece of cloth hanging from the bra. The only thing recognizable, save the straps, was the under wires.

"Angi, I thought you had to where sp-" Hermione began.

"I couldn't get my sports bras clean. I'd forgotten practice until this morning." Angelina's lower lip was carefully trembling and unwillfully turned downward. (AN: That happened to me once. I was really sad and trying not to cry. :( )

"Wow, that's...b-bad." Hermione said, looking very grave.

"Bad???? BAD????!!! You think THAT is bad? The damage done to what was under that is much worse!" Angelina started to sob and gave up, slowly lying back down on the bed to cradle herself.

Hermione took this moment to sliently slip out of the dorm. She stomped down the Girls' set of stairs and started to climb up to the boys' stairwell.

"FRED ARTHUR WEASLEY!!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!!!?" Hermione did not wait for an answer from the nearly naked occupants of the 7th years. "LOOK AT THIS!! YOU BEST BE HEADING OVER TO ANGELINA RIGHT THIS MINUTE, MISTER!!!!!!!"

Hermione held up the torn piece of knickers. "HER FAVORITE KNICKERS!!!!!! YOU PRAT!"

Realisation dawned on Fred's face as he ran out of the room, not noticing how his khakis were unbuttoned and falling down to reveal a pair of yellow, happy face boxers or that he was shirtless.

Hermione unconsciously started to fold Fred's clothing and place them neatly into his trunk. She looked up in surprise; Lee was covering himself with bed curtains, nearly stark naked, (save a pair of tightie whities), and Georgee was girlishly holding a shirt ovr his chest in hopes of covering a toned piece of skin, (hoped in vain as Hermione's face coloured).

"What're you looking at?" She yelled and stormed to her room where she would be swamped in homework the rest of the day.

George snorted in laughter and Lee started to untangle his body from the red curtains.

"Bloody scary sometimes, she is!" George said and pulled on his maroon shirt on.

"Goodness, I can't imagine what I'd do if I didn't have good reflexes! I'd be standing butt naked in front of the only girl in the school who wouldn't think twice about it!!" Lee laughed and threw on a pair of jeans. (You see, Hermione is like superwoman. She is immune to her hormones and wouldn't even notice a naked seventeen year old dancing around in front of her!)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione walked into the Great Hall flanked by Harry and Ron. She wasn't surprised to see Fred and Angi swapping more than phone numbers. *Honestly! It's good that they're back in 'love' and all, but come ON! They are practically sitting on each other!*

*Mia, you are just jealous...not having someone like that for yourself.* Hermione scolded herself.

*Not true!*

*Remember, 'The greatest thing you'll ever learn, Is to love and to be loved in return'.*

*Fine, you're right.*

*You know I'm right, I'm you and I slash you are ALWAYS right.* Hermione immersed herself in some savory buttered biscuits.

She nearly jumped out of her seat when a voice interupted her thoughts.

$Hey.$ Draco couldn't do as his father would. He just couldn't make fun of Hermione because of her thoughts. They seemed so..personal.

*Jesus Christ! Draco!!! You scared me nearly to death!!!*

$You know what they say, 'Nex est tunc maioribus adventum'.$ Draco ate some peas.

*Huh?*

$ Don't tell me Miss KNOW-it-all doesn't KNOW Latin! Somebody call the newspapers, magazines!!! I've just witnessed a MIRACLE!!$

*You..you quoted Dumbledore!! I smell blackmail!!!!!* Hermione tried to cover a gigle and failed miserably as she surrendered into a fit of giggles.

"What's funny?" Ron asked.

"N-n-nothin'. giggle It's just that giggle The Redomo Extraho just said, 'Nex est tunc maioribus adventum'." She giggled relentlessly.

"Yeah. Funny." Harry said.

"He-he quoted Dumbledore!! Of all people, HE QUOTED DUMBLEDORE!!" Hermione fell off her chair. "Ooooo, I'm gonna get him!! REVENGE HAS NEVER BEEN SOOO SWEET!!!"

" 'He' who?" Harry curiously quipped.

Hermione stopped mid giggle and got back into her chair. "No one." She whispered and shoved a chicken leg into her mouth to prevent further interrogation.

The Gryffindor table stared at her as she ate in silence. *You made me look like an arse!! Prat!!*

$Yes, I believe I make many girls surrender to a laughing fit when I give them the honor of my conversation.$

*Conceded vain little...* Hermione finished this statement with various names.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (AN: I'll leave them in the common room! Then this chapter is done!)

Hermione placed the bookmark into her page in 'What Spells You Didn't Know, But Now Know Thanks to This Book'. The clock chimed eleven and then let four small clicks to signify the time "11:40".

"Well, fellas, it is late." Hermione put a hand up to stop them as they began to protest. "Don't give me any, 'One more game of Snap!' I for one know you two have an Intermediate Charms test tomorrow. I may not have made you study and I may be in ADVANCED Charms, but I know when these charms get you tired that you need to get your sleep!"

"Harry, mate, did that make sense?" Ron whispered.

"I dunno. I heard 'Yip-yip-yap-yip-yipper-YAPETY-yap-yiptiy-yip. GO TO BED'. That right, 'Mione?" Harry asked.

"At least you got the point. NOW GO!!!!!!" The boys ran up to their dorms, where they could play Exploding Snap in the confinesof a four-poster bed.

*Mum. Gift.* Hermione thought and went to the Prefects Common Room.

She entered and saw no one. The room was pitch black and the fact that the walls were deep blue didn't help. Hermione strained her eyes. She felt her way over to her desk. Unlocking the drawer as quiet as she could, she took out her almost black parcel. The star decorated package sparkled and glowed.

Hermione trned around to see the ambers in the fireplace dying down. Suddenly she saw a *thing* on the arm of the couch. Fear was building up quickly inside her.

The last thing she could do before she realised who it was, was to scream.

Good? Better than last chappy? Review, review, my good friends.

Oh, and the quote from Dumbledore was Latin for 'Death is the next great adventure'.

I translated it, wrote its English and Latin translation on a paper and left for school. My mother found it and thought it was a suicide note. I tried to explain that next time unless it says 'To whom it may concern' and contains the lines 'I have lived long enough' than she shouldn't get worried.

It WAS under my HP book. Goodness!

Sorry for the prolonging in chapter updates. I had this all typed up and was about to save it when I hit a button on my new keyboard. The button opened a new doc. UGH!!!!!
