Disclaimer: I don't own anything having to do with Harry Potter but a poster and a few DVDs and books. And soon, I will own the 5th book.(5 DAYS!!!) And yet...I don't own Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling does.

A/N:This is my first attempt at a Harry Potter fan fic. Should be interesting...BTW, if you know who Mildred Hubble is, you're revealing your age...;o)

Hermione Granger slammed the book she was reading shut and muttered to herself. "Merlin's beard, I just can't concentrate." She stared at the cover of Mildred Hubble: Witch Wonder and sighed. "How am I supposed to get anything done with all this noise?" Hermione looked about the common room in anger. The Gryffindors were having a party to celebrate their triumphant win over Slytherin. "Quidditch." Hermione continued to mutter. "What a pointless thing to celebrate. Why not celebrate something important, like good grades? Quidditch won't get these people good jobs. Quidditch won't put food on their table or provide for their children in the future. I swear, I wonder if I am the only logical person left in Gryffindor?"

Hermione smiled at her cat, who was sharing the couch with her. "You're the only person who truly understands me, Crookshanks." Crookshanks purred as Hermione rubbed her hand over his back. "Not at all like that Ronald Weasley, who just this morning called me an old fuddy-duddy. Can you believe that Crookshanks? Me, an old fuddy-duddy! I don't know what in the world he means! I have fun! I party and laugh and joke a bit! But I have my priorities straight and I know that books come first, leisure comes second. Besides," she added as she threw a nasty look at Ron," books can be quite fun, you know! Why, just yesterday I was having a dandy time reading Larry Water and the Horse Jockey's Phone. Wonderful story, if you ask me, about a muggle who gets lost at the races and..."

"Oi, Hermione, you've finally lost it. Talking to yourself is never a good sign." Ron Weasley grinned widely as he sat next to Hermione on the couch.

Hermione's lifted her chin and stared down her nose at Ron. "Well, one must find a form of intelligent conversation somewhere." She slowly smirked at Ron as she added, "I'm certainly not going to find it here." Ron laughed at Hermione and patted her on the head. "It's all right Hermione. I guess someone as old are you are can get away with talking to themselves every once in a while." Hermione's mouth dropped.

"Now see here, Ron! I am not old! As I remember it, you are several months older than me! I'm not old!" Hermione pouted and added as though to convince herself, "I'm not old."

Ron examined Hermione for a few moments. No, he thought, she certainly is not old. More like young and beautiful and sexy and stunning and my, her boobs look nice in that top today...so firm and perky and full and lovely to look at...dammit, must think of Quidditch...Mum and Dad kissing...Professor McGonagall naked in a snow storm...ahh, that's better. Hope she didn't notice I had a lift there for a moment...

"No, Hermione, you aren't old." Hermione stared at him for a hopeful second before he added, "You're just old in spirit. Frankly, 'Mione, sometimes you're a bore."

Hermione looked very upset about this. She glared at Ron in a way that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up on end. He could see the anger building in her and inched away from her slowly. He was just getting ready to make a run for it when Hermione's temper exploded.

"How DARE you, Ronald Weasley! I am NOT a BORE of all things! I am very entertaining and fun if you would take the time to look at me properly and actually THINK about what I do! Maybe I do study a lot, but I KNOW my limits and at least I am smart enough to CARE about MY future and how it's going to be! If you want to see FUN, Ron, I WILL SHOW YOU FUN!" Hermione grabbed a startled Crookshanks and her books and stormed up to her dormitory. Ron stared at where she had been, repeatedly opening and closing his mouth like a fish. He looked at the small party of Gryffindors who were staring at him in horror.

"Well, I believe that went VERY well...yes..."

Since I like to be able to read a lot in one sitting(preferably read ALL the story...), the next chapters will be up soon.
