Ahem, anyway... on with the story...

At dinner that night, Parvati and Lavender sat with Hermione at the end of the table. This was strange, because Hermione usually sat with Harry and Ron. The two boys were trying to figure out what was going on when they saw the three girls get up and leave the Great Hall.

"So, do you really think this will work?" Hermione asked for the billionth time that day as they walked to the library.

"Yes, it will really work, Hermione," Lavender said as she opened the door and stepped into the library.

They were there to think of a name for the game show. After all, it was just a week away! "How about 'Game o Lavender'?" Lavender suggested while doodling on a piece of paper absentmindedly. "No way! It's supposed to be my game show!" Parvati exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air. "Okay, okay," Lavender said as she put her hands up in defense. "What about 'The Love Connection'?" Parvati said, wiggling her eyebrows. Shaking her head, Hermione said, "That's already taken. Besides, Harry doesn't know it's about love."

"How about 'Pagame'? It's like Parvati's game," Parvati said, slouching down in her seat.

"That's kind of cute. I like it," Lavender agreed.

"Alright, it's all set then, the name is 'Pagame,' that is kind of cute," Hermione said, clasping her hands together.

Parvati then pulled out the stack of index cards from her backpack that she brought with her. She divided them up into three piles and handed a pile to Hermione and another to Lavender. The three girls then started to write down the questions for their game show.
"Hey, guys!" Hermione waved to her two best friends as she flopped on to the couch next to the roaring fire. Harry and Ron were in the middle of a game of wizard's chess. Ron was winning.

"Hey, Hermione," Harry said, looking up. Ron just waved in her general direction, keeping his concentration on the game before him.

"Who's winning? Or must I even ask?" Hermione giggled, as she put her backpack on the floor, next to the couch.

"Ron is, he always wins," Harry replied with a small laugh as he moved his knight.

Ron just nodded in agreement, making his final move. "Check mate," he said with a smile.

Harry just stared at the game board, trying to figure out what happened. Hermione laughed and thought about what was going to happen Saturday, with 'Pagame.'

"Hey, you want to go visit Hagrid?" Harry asked as he stood up and stretched his arms above his head.

"Sure," Ron said, doing the same thing.

"Alright, just let me get my cloak," Hermione agreed, standing up and heading toward her dormitory.

As soon as the three of them were all set, they headed off for the cabin by the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Just before Harry could knock on the giant door, Hagrid opened it, revealing his huge, hairy, smiling face. "Why 'ello everyone!" Hagrid's booming voice greeted them. He opened the door wider, allowing the three students into his house.

He busied himself with putting his latest concoction on the table, telling them all to dig in and help themselves. Hermione passed, because the food looked as if Fang had chewed it up and spit it out. Harry tried a bit of it, and Ron fed it to Fang, who did spit it out. 'Harry is so nice to try Hagrid's food. Especially since the last time he did, he ended up going to the hospital wing because there was a bone left in it and Harry swallowed it whole,' Hermione thought to herself with a small smile.

"Hey, Hermione, did you hear about Parvati's project in Muggle Studies? It's a game show type thing. sounds cool, don't you think?" Ron asked, taking a sip of the pumpkin juice Hagrid had handed out a moment before.

"Yeah, it sounds great," Hermione said, trying to hide her smile as she, too, took a sip of the popular drink.

"I wonder what kind of questions she is going to ask us, though. I hope nothing is too personal or embarrassing," Harry added.

"Yeah," Ron agreed.

Hermione just smiled to herself.
The three girls were in their dormitory, discussing the last details of the game show. Lavender and Parvati were on Lavender's bed, Lavender was braiding Parvati's hair. Hermione was stretched out on her own bed, twisting her hair idly.

"So, Hermione, are you excited about tomorrow? After all, it IS the big day!" Parvati said excitedly, touching her hair to see what Lavender was doing to it. Lavender playfully swatted at Parvati's hand, making her pull it back quickly.

Hermione laughed, and then replied with, "Yeah, I can't wait. I really hope it works according to plan though."

"Why, what do you think could possibly go wrong?" Lavender asked with some concern.

"Well, Harry or Ron could forget about it and not show up. The magic might not work properly. You guys could have been lying when you said that Harry likes me. The list goes on and on." Hermione trailed off, waving her arm for emphasis.

"Oh, Hermione, you're just saying that because you're nervous! I KNOW Harry likes you, he told me himself! I just can't wait!" Lavender squealed with delight.

Parvati nodded her head slightly in agreement. "I'm so excited! The whole school will watch me as I play a game show host!"

Then the three girls got up and went down stairs for dinner. Hermione got butterflies in her stomach as she saw Harry sit down next to Ron. She wanted to sit next to Harry so badly, but she had to sit near Lavender and Parvati, so they could continue discussing their plan.
"Hey, Ron, do you know what is up with Hermione? She's been sitting with Lavender and Parvati like, all week long!" Harry said as he reached for the mashed potatoes.

"I don't know, but she's been acting kind of weird lately, like she's under a curse or something," Ron said as he poured gravy over his turkey.

"Maybe Draco did something to her!" Harry exclaimed, with worry in his voice.

"I doubt it, I mean, don't you think someone would know about it?" Ron said, taking a swig of his pumpkin juice.

"Yeah, maybe you're right." Harry said as he also took a sip of his drink.
Hermione awoke the next morning feeling rather nervous. 'This is silly, I mean, it's just Harry. He is your best friend. And plus, Lavender and Parvati said that he likes you, so what do you have to be so nervous about?' she told herself, trying to calm the butterflies that were swarming around her stomach at one hundred miles per hour.
As the day wore on, Hermione began to calm down a bit, except for when she caught sight of Lavender or Parvati, who would give her the thumbs up sign and grin like a madwoman. This would make her more nervous, and she would start to freak out.

She made it to dinner alive, however. Everyone had just begun to settle down and eat when Professor Dumbledore stepped up to the microphone that was placed just ahead of the professors' table.

Harry, who was sitting next to Hermione, whispered to her, "Do you know if it's going to start soon? I'm getting nervous, and I don't even really know why."

Hermione couldn't help but giggle to herself. She then patted his shoulder and whispered back, "Parvati said it would begin as soon as everyone was ready. So I'm sure it will start any minute."
To be continued. maybe, if I get any reviews that is.
