I feel so loved! I logged onto my email, and Behold! 6 reviews awaited me! I never knew…I added more onto this chapter, cuz it was ridiculously short.

Soon it was Halloween dinner and everybody was digging into their turkey and other foods. Professor Flitwick had enchanted a suit of armor, to sing songs from the Weird Sisters. Live bats where flying around and around the room, and the ghosts were delighting in popping out of the dishes of the first years and giving them quite a scare. Suddenly, over from the farthest table, Slytherins, came a scream.

Everyone looked over to the Slytherin table. Pansy Parkinson was screaming at the top of her lungs. Everyone started to laugh though it couldn't drown out Pansy's screams. Even Professor McGonagall was giggling behind her hand. Pansy had a bat stuck in her hair! It was thrashing wildly, and so was its host. Professor McGonagall had to magic her still to remove the bat. The Gryffindors got up and went to the common room, still chortling. They sat down in the chairs by the fire and started to talk. They were discussing what they were going to do at Hogsmeade next day, when Ginny turned to Hermione and asked, "What are you going to do there?"

"Sorry you guys, but theirs work I have to do," thinking of the little room beneath Merlyn's statue. "C'mon, Hermione! It's the first trip! You can't stay here!" "I'll join you guys for a butterbeer at 1 o'clock, okay?" And with that she went upstairs to go to sleep; dreaming of what her hide out will look like when finished. The next day, everyone left the castle for Hogsmeade. Hermione left with them, but not to Hogsmeade. She found herself in the castle gardens.

She went straight to Merlyn, and let herself in. The door slid shut behind her, and she whispered, "Lumos" Her wand lit up and she flicked particles of light to the corners of the stairs and on the ceiling, where they burned, not hot or spreading, just staying in the spot. It was one o'clock, and she headed out. The room was completely transformed. There was a soft rug on the ground, bordered by various plants from the garden, tapestries on the walls, and the ceiling was a perfect mirror of the sky above. As she left, she whispered "Nox" and the lights flickered out.

As the door shut behind her and revolved again, Hermione heard someone approaching. She quickly put her wand away, and pretended to stroll away. She saw Hagrid and Fang walking up and she let out a sigh of relief. "Hermione! What are yeh doin' here? Yeh should be in Hogsmeade." "I was just taking a walk, Hagrid. I've been working all day, and wanted to take a break. I'll be going now. Bye!" she said scratching Fang behind the ears. She straightened up and walked to the castle. She was exhausted from all that casting, and fell asleep as soon as she sat down.

Hermione woke up the next day feeling refreshed. When she walked down to the common room, she saw Harry, Ron, and Ginny sitting by the fire. Ginny turned around and said, "It's about time! Where were you yesterday? We were waiting for you at The Three Broomsticks, but you never showed up!"

"I was working very hard and I fell asleep as I was getting ready to go to meet you guys." Harry replied, "That's okay. Here. We brought you some candy from Honeydukes and here's a container of butterbeer. We brought just a bit." Hermione's jaw dropped. "You call that little? The whole school could have some and still there would be lots left over. Did you buy the whole store?"

 There were mountains of sweets in her lap and she knew what to do with them. Bring them to her hideout! She got a big bag and put all the candy in it and the butterbeer container, which she spelled to stay cold. She then excused herself and ran to the room, where she created a cupboard, charmed to keep bugs away and put the bag inside of it.
