Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Audrey are heading to Transfiguration. There is an uncomfortable tension between Audrey and Hermione. Audrey disregards Ron and Hermione and focuses her attention on Harry.

Audrey: Harry, this first week of school has been really great all thanks to you. I was really nervous about coming here but since I've met you it's been really easy.

Harry: I'm glad you feel that way. I really am glad you came this year too.

*Audrey and Ron keep walking to their class *

Hermione: (Thinks she is whispering to herself) Well I'm not!

Harry: It's not her fault that your boyfriend was cheating on you!

Hermione: I can't believe you are on her side! You! Of all people!

Harry: What's that supposed to mean?

Hermione: I thought you would understand. You are my closest friend! Well, at least you used to be.

Harry: Did it ever come to mind that Krumm cheated on her too? Come on, we're gonna be late. *Walks to class *

*Hermione stands there for a few seconds, then rushes to Transfiguration *

*** That night, Hermione is tossing and turning in her sleep and hears Audrey talking in her sleep. (They share a dormitory.)

Audrey: (in her sleep) It's a sure way for Viktor to be jealous. Give him a taste of his own medicine. Harry is the perfect choice. *Snores VERY loudly * I can ask him out tomorrow.. he will definitely say yes.

Hermione: (to herself) That @$#%ing %$#%@!!!!!

*** At breakfast the next morning Hermione was evil toward Audrey. She kept glaring and scowling at her. The others figured she was still angry about the love triangle with Krumm. But Hermione was torn inside. She didn't know whether to tell Harry that Audrey was using her, or to just keep quiet so Harry doesn't get even angrier with her. She decided to just keep quiet.

As the week went on, Audrey's obvious flirting with Harry was now hardly noticeable. It was as if she wasn't trying as hard and was just being herself. Well, that was enough for Harry. He adored her. (They are now going out.) Hermione was still cautious around Audrey, but found that she wasn't all that bad of a person. She still remembered what Audrey said in her sleep though. She decided to confront her while they were relaxing in the common room after dinner.

Hermione: Hey Audrey, can I talk to you for a second?

Audrey: Um, sure.

*They walk over to a corner for privacy *

Hermione: Audrey, one night I heard you talk in your sleep, and you said that.. well, basically that you were using Harry to get back at Viktor. Is that true?

Audrey: Oh, um. Ok, to be honest with you, I was using him at first. Then I discovered what a wonderful person he was, and I started to like him. A lot.

Hermione: Not just because he is famous?

Audrey: (with a zoned out-day dreamy look) He isn't just famous, he is a hero.

*Out of nowhere the song "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias starts playing *

Hermione: So how do you feel about Viktor?

Audrey: I love him like a stick up my ass.

Hermione: Me too, I can never look at him again.

Audrey: Speaking of sticks up people's asses, what's up with that Malfoy dude?

Hermione: He is such a pain.

Audrey: I figured. He looks like the type of person who thinks he is better than everyone else.

Hermione: Exactly. He is that type. He called me a mudblood.

Audrey: Oh no! That's terrible! But, who cares what he says? He is a loser.

Hermione: You said it, sistah!

Audrey: Yeah! Who does he think he is, anyway?

Hermione: He is a self-absorbed, self-centered, freak.

Audrey: There are a lot of guys out there like that. Us girls have to stick together!

*Out of nowhere the song "Independent Woman" by Destiny's Child comes on *

Hermione: At least you have Harry.

Audrey: Yep, I'm lucky.
