Chapter Six: Bumbling Dwarves
AN: Thank-you any and all reviewers.
Brion: If you left an e-mail I could tell you when I update, and also a more immediate response to your question. Those little " you see and anything else funky like is, is because my computer is being stupid. Whenever I try and put in a quotation mark, apostrophe or a bunch of periods in a row, it just does those signs. I'm in the process of fixing it.

Dinner was over and all of the houses stood up to go to their common rooms. Ron and I on each side of Hermione, linked arms with her as we tromped to the tower.
"I could sleep a week." Ron yawned as he said it.
"Well no doubt," Hermione put in "You've eaten enough for the whole Quiditch team to sleep for a month. You're going to put on wait if you don't watch it." I laughed.
"Yes well we wouldn't want to lose our figure now would we. Wouldn't fit into our dress robes. Nice and frilly they ." Ron cut me off with a punch to my shoulder.
"You know I got new robs. Just shut up. It's already going to be years of therapy as it is. Do you want me to start billing you?" I laughed and pulled them towards the Pink Lady. Hermione being Head Girl gave the password of "Bumbling Dwarves" to get us into our quarters.
"Thanks Herm." I gave her a hug and said good night while Ron and I headed up to our rooms with the mark "Seventh Year" on the door.

I woke up to complete blackness. Only a thin strip of light shone underneath the door. Someone was in the common room. I grabbed my invisibility cloak making sure in the mirror that I couldn't be seen. I was an elder in the student body. It was my duty to make sure no one was breaking the rules.
~Sure Potter. What the bloody hell do you think your doing right now? Oh shut up. I'm not doing anything. Anyways why the hell am I talking to myself? Damn right your not doing anything! You're The-Boy-Who-Lived. You can do any damn thing you like.~
The voice inside my head went on like that for a while, I decided to ignore it and go down to the common room.
I crept up on the couch facing the fire, someone was laying on it. It was Hermione. She had fallen asleep reading some really thick book.
~I should probably wake her up. Wouldn't be good for her Head Girl status if they found her asleep in the common room.~
"Hermione. Hermione. You got to wake up. It's in the middle of the night." I gently shook her hoping she wouldn't spear me the second she woke up. She started mumbling incoherent things. I laughed she looked so funny.
"Mmmmm. 1342. wha? Nrrrr.. Ohhh.. You like like tha? ... Heeeeheee."
I shook her harder before she embarrassed her self anymore. I was shaking trying to hold in my laughter. Hermione sat upright as she opened her eyes and looked around franticly. She suddenly sighed.
"Harry. If you want to wake me gently and not think that I'm being attacked, you might want to prove that someone is actually there. Which in English is take off your cloak."
I grinned at her knowing me so well.
"Sorry." I said sheepishly as I pulled down my hood. "I forgot." She pulled her legs up so I could sit next to her on the couch.
"What are you doing down here anyways. Why aren't you in your dorm?" Hermione looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Please don't make me go back up there. Did you know that Lavender snores? Like a semi driver. I was sleeping so much better down here." She looked so cute with her brown doe eyes pleading with him like they did.
"Look. I would. But your Head Girl. what would people say if they came down in the morning and you were asleep on the couch. Just think about it. Besides just put a silencing charm around your bed. It's what I do with Ron around." Hermione closed her eyes and banged her head against the edge of the couch.
"I'm so dense! Why didn't I think about that? I'm just so distracted right now." She said motioning to the open book in her lap.
"What are you reading?" I picked up the book to read the title. The Witch of Orleans
"Sounds interesting what is it about?" She looked at me like I was insane. "It's the history of your necklace." My fingers went instantly to the pendant around my neck. I had forgotten about it, and apparently so had Hermione.
"Uhhh, weren't you supposed to tell me about it this summer?"
"I'm so sorry, I totally forgot. I was so intent on getting your wand movements per. Oh. I'm so sorry." I chuckled.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll ace Transfiguration this year for sure. Besides when you're done, let me borrow the book." She smiled. Such a sweet smile, kind and full of unconditional love.
"Thank-you Harry. I guess I can go to bed now. Lavender will never know what hit her." I heard her mumble under her breath, "Or at least we can hope."
"Good-night Herm. And promise me you wont do any thing to hurt her, just a simple silencing spell. Remember that." Before I put my hood back up she pecked my cheek.
"Thanks Harry." My hood was up and she disappeared up the stairs.
I pressed my fingers to my cheek where she had left her mark. My cheek had officially been cleansed of any sin it had ever committed. She did that.
