Collin quickly fled up the stairs and wondered just how he was going to release Harry and Hermione from the spell. If Harry doesn't get mad at him, Hermione sure will. 'I better keep a low profile with the two of them.' Collin thought as he entered his dorm. He scribbled down a note and ran it over to Ron hoping that he didn't already release the two. Luckily for him, Ron hadn't gone near them for the same reason as Collin, he feared their retribution.
Ron glanced down at the note that Collin had written and told him that he would give it to them to read once they calmed down. As Collin disappeared, Ron warned everyone in the common room not to disturb the two of them and quickly went searching for Ginny. He ran up to the girls' dorm and knocked on her room. Ginny came over and answered it as Ron explained what had happened down in the common room and the events leading up to it. She put her hands on her hips standing akimbo in the doorway and just glared at her brother. "So you want me to release them and face their wrath? Are you crazy? Ron, you should know me better than that. I might be crazy at times, but I'm not suicidal!" Ginny retorted to her brother.
"Gin, it's not like that. They won't get mad at you. You didn't have anything to do with it and you weren't in the common room when it happened. They won't over react with you. Hermione's one of your best friends and she'll listen to you. She won't even talk to Harry and it's all over the incident that happened last night." Ron pleaded desperately with her.
"You say Collin did this? I can't believe he would have the guts, especially with Harry and Hermione. They are not going to be happy with him. I had better go to him after this." Ginny replied.
"I don't think that would be a good idea at the time, besides I think he went into hiding. He gave this note to me to give to them after they were released. So, Gin come on, will you do it?" Ron pleaded with her again.
"Fine! If you're too chicken! Give me the letter too! You owe me for this Ron." Ginny retorted to her brother as she stomped down to the common room.
Ginny walked over to Harry and Hermione and looked down into their faces. She wondered why someone hadn't thought of this before now. They had been fighting all day, at least, Harry had been pleading for her to talk to him. She drew her wand and bent down to the two fallen figures and gently warned them, "I'm here to help you. Don't you dare try to curse me after I've released you or you'll both regret it. I'm sure Collin had his reasons but that doesn't mean you can go after him as soon as you're released either. Now before I release both of you, you are going to hear me out. You can agree by rolling your eyes or something like that." Ginny informed them as they both rolled their eyes knowing that if they didn't that they would never get out of this mess so quickly.
"Okay, now that we've agreed. Hermione, Harry is one of your best friends. Why won't you talk to him? It's so childish. And you call yourself a prefect? You're both supposed to be setting an example for all of us, but you're acting the ages of the twins. They've been acting more grown up than the two of you had today. Given that Jamie can give my brothers a lesson in some pranks, but they've at least patched up their differences from last night." Ginny exclaimed as she pointed to where the twins had fallen asleep in one of the chairs sitting together reading a book.
"Harry, I know that lately things have been a bit humorous and all, but I don't think that laughing over what had happened while telling Ron this morning, didn't help matters much. We do kind of like to keep some things to ourselves and not let the whole world know. I'm ashamed of you both." Ginny finished while saying 'Infinite Incantem' to release them. Harry and Hermione both sat up and were about to say something when Ginny interrupted them. "Collin wanted you to read this after you were released. Don't be too hard on him, after all he was only trying to help both of you. You know that he would never hurt either one of you intentionally." Ginny finished while handing the letter to Hermione. Ginny quickly turned on her heels and disappeared up the stairs heading to find Collin.
Hermione pulled the letter towards her and started reading it. By the time she was finished reading it, she was almost in tears. Harry quickly grabbed the letter from her and started reading it. He also had a glimmer of tears in his eyes when he was finished reading it. He dropped the letter and pulled Hermione into a fierce hug. "I'm sorry Hermione. You have to believe me that I didn't have anything to do with it. I swear that I didn't. Please, just talk to me. I'll do anything." Harry whispered into Hermione's ear.
"It's okay, Harry. I didn't really believe that you did, I was just angry that's all. Please forgive me Harry. I've been a royal git lately. I'm sorry too." Hermione whispered so only Harry could hear her and then gently kissed his temple as he squeezed her in compliance. They both got up and went over to the twins as Harry gathered them into his arms. Hermione walked up the stairs as Harry followed. As they were heading up to tuck the twins into bed, Ron picked up the letter and started reading it.
