'Hmmm' considered Ginny thoughtfully as she came to a sudden halt outside the girls bathroom.

She looked from the room to the silly muggle book in her hands, and back to the room again.

'No....' she finally sighed resignedly.
'Been there, done that.....'

"Damn Harry!" she growled to herself.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Hey Gin." a soft sweet voice floated across to her.

She turned around.

"Oh, Hi Hermione" she smiled, as she clasped the silly book in front of her chest, and stared rather stupidly at her sweet angel.

"Um, ....... Hello Ginny?!" Harry stated, giving her a quick wave, and a questioning look.

"Hmmm ...... what?! ..... oh" replied Ginny rather distractedly.
"HiHarryandRon" she rushed quickly so she could go back to staring at Hermione.

'Hmmph ...... girls!' thought Harry raising one eyebrow and shaking his head.

'Wonder what's for tea?!' thought Ron dreamily.
'Hope it's not mashed potatoes again .......' he sighed.

'Hmmph ...... Weasley's!' reconsidered Harry suddenly.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Oh, is that my book ?" Hermione inquired advancing suddenly on Ginny.

"WHAT ?!" Ginny screamed, quickly coming to her senses and hiding the book behind her back.

'Idiot !' she mentally slapped herself.

Hermione came to a sudden halt.
"That was my book wasn't it ?" she gently asked Ginny, giving her a quizzical look.

"NO !" shouted Ginny, far to loudly.

"Yes it was." replied Harry staring rather intently at her.

"Noooo it wass-n't !" replied Ginny rather testily, barley restraining herself from poking her tongue out at the boy wonder.

"What was it then ?!" asked Harry knowing he was right.
After all he was always right. Wasn't he ........ ?!

Hermione gave him a terse look.
"Harry !" she replied sharply.

"Hmmph." Harry exclaimed grumpily.

"I'm sorry Ginny." Hermione said gently, "I thought that was my book......"
"Sooo what was it anyway ?" she questioned much more kindly, well at least Ginny thought so anyway.

"Ah ..... umm ..... it's ...... a ....." stammered the flustered Gryffindor.

'Hmmph ! She'll probably say it's her transfiguration homework, or some other stupidly unbelievable thing.' thought Harry moodily.

"Ahh ... it's umm ..... OH ! It's my transfiguration homework." smiled Ginny ecstatically, rather pleased with her suddenly brilliant idea.
"Yeah ahh, we had to change an ahh .... an egg into a book, yeah ! that's it."

'Hmmph' thought Harry 'I knew I was always right !'

"Ohhhh" exclaimed Hermione rather excitedly.
"Wow ! We never got to do that. How terribly intriguing. How did you do it ? Can I see ......" she babbled, once again advancing on poor Ginny.

"Ahh ...... er ....... Damn !" mumbled Ginny, quickly backing up.
"Ohh look, a house elf !" she suddenly exclaimed, pointing in a very far of direction.

"What ? Oh ! Got to dash Gin, see you later. Come on Harry !" Hermione yelled, rushing off, dragging a rather unhappy looking Harry behind her.

Ginny smirked.

"Ahh Ron ?" she questioned, steeping up to her brother and waving him out of his dessert filled daze.

"Huh ? What ?" he said.

She pointed at his two friends quickly rushing down the corridor, well one was rushing at least she grinned.

"Oh ! Cheers Gin." He replied happily, giving her a fond pat on the head as he rushed to catch up with his two classmates.

Ginny frowned.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

'Stupid, dumb idea !' thought Ginny grumpily.

She had spent almost the entire afternoon trying to turn the silly book into everything from a pair of galoshes to a four horned African tree slug. Unfortunately nothing would stay transfigured for very long.
Damn ! she really should have paid more attention to her lessons.
In fact the only thing she could get the silly book to stay as was a very gaudy, very hot pink lava lamp, and how was she going to explain wanting to keep that in her dorm room ?!

"Grrrggghhhh" Ginny growled, very annoyed.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

'Right' thought Ginny, all she had to do was get through the common room to the stairs which led to the girls dorm, then she was home free !

She had, she though, rather successfully avoided Hermione all night - she wasn't about to ruin all of her hard work now.

Nope. She'd just wait till Hermione was distracted then she'd race through, and finally be able to get some sleep! She'd fix everything tomorrow, she decided exhaustedly.

'Brilliant.' She thought as she watched Hermione reach down and pick up a library book from the extremely large pile in front of her.
Ha ! She could walk slowly across the room on her hands, while singing 'Yankee doodle dandy' at the top of her lungs, and the 6th year wouldn't even notice.

She quietly headed for the stairs.

"Grrggghhh !"
She stopped halfway to her destination.
Ron was staring stupidly at her 'Mione again.

'Right' She thought, as she headed off for the stairs once again, she was going to have to have a little discussion with her brother first thing tomorrow about his silly little obsession !
