A/N Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a LOOOOONG time, but I was
really sick as in doctor note saying " stay in bed or I will hunt you down
and strap you to it!" I really hate staying in bed, you see. Anyway, this
means I got a lot of writing and schoolwork done, I think I've already
finished the year haha so you guys get a lot of chapters throughout the
next few days. I think I did three, actually. This one is short but the
others are going to be very very very long.
One more thing, I'm looking for pictures to go along with my story
(although I know this story doesn't put ideas into your head. I have
another story in my head though and it wants to come out so this story
should be finished soon.) But we need to make websites with stories we have
written for my Creative Writing class and I wanted to put drawings with
this story and some others that I have. But if you are a good drawer or
know one, and want to draw some pics, could you? And could you email me at
rubberduckie232@hotmail.com? Thanks very much! Here it is!
Discalimer:The characters you know are JK's. I'm borrowing them from her. Hopefully I do a good job. The OCC's belong to me.

Ron and Harry were flying their brooms and tossing a Quaffle back and forth in the apartment when Hermione and Penelope came bursting in. They entered the living room, their cheeks pink and hair wind-blown, with huge grins and excitement on their faces. Ron and Harry quickly landed their brooms and hid their brooms behind their back, trying to look innocent. Hermione had told them many, many times that they weren't allowed to fly in the apartment, but she simply gave them a look and skipped the lecture. Her and Penelope took off their coats and headed into the study, carrying a large pile of books. Hermione greeted Harry and then magiked some hot chocolate to follow them into the study. They did this all in less than ten seconds, leaving Ron and Harry standing alone and silent in the room.
" They must have found something good," said Ron, nodding towards the door. Harry, who had been told everything nodded thoughtfully.
" Think we should ask if they need help?" Harry asked.
"Yeah. It was my idea too. I should know what's happening," Ron replied and together they walked into the study. The two girls had various books open and Hermione was mapping the basics of a Laughter Charm. Various notes on parchment surrounded them and Penelope was reading aloud from what sounded like a complex book.
".if the emotion of the charmer is a powerful one, and if the core of the spell is composed of different.." Penelope looked up at the two men standing in the door and stopped reading. Hermione, noticing the silence, put down her quill and looked up.
" Erm- Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Yes, Harry? Is there anything you need? We're really quite busy and don't have time to chat. I know we haven't talked in simply ages, but I'm really quite busy, there's only 24 hours left and we still need to make sure it will work."
"Hermione, we saw each other this weekend. The four of us went to the Burrow."
" I know, but that was a long time ago. A lot of things have happened since then."
"So you've found an idea, then?" Ron asked, interrupting.
" Yes, we went to visit the Longbottom's and realised." Hermione went off on a long speech, with Penelope adding comments here and there.
"So you see, if we could only find a core that could be built upon, we can make a new spell, abling us to save Mr. Hart and even more people!" Hermione finished, pushing a piece of her hair behind her ear. Ron loved it when she did that. But he couldn't be thinking those type of things now so he pushed them out of his head.
"Right. So do you want anything?" Ron asked, and Harry looked at him quizzically.
" Yes, please. Some supper would be brilliant," said Hermione, and Penelope nodded enthusiastically. Ron nodded and quickly left, pulling Harry behind him. They walked into the kitchen and Ron looked in the fridge, trying to find something good and easy for him to make. Finding nothing, he looked through the cupboards until he found some canned soup. Pulling the two cans out, he turned to Harry.
"What do you think? Chicken or leek?" he asked, holding the two cans up and looking at the directions suspiciously.
" What was that?" asked Harry, ignoring his question and continuing, " I thought we were going to help."
" We were. But they're really on to something, and if we help they'll have to explain. I don't know about you, but I didn't understand a thing she was saying. There are some things you learn by living with Hermione and that is, do not make her explain the obvious. Well, it bloody isn't obvious when she uses that language." Harry chuckled and took the can from Ron's hands. Ron was trying, without success to open the can with a can opener after realising that his wand was in the other room.
" Why don't you let me do it?" Harry said, and efficiently opened it, turned on the stove and made the soup within ten minutes. Three times as fast as Ron would have. They kept up a good talk of Quidditch while Harry was cooking and as he poured it into the bowls Ron watched curiously. As he found the bread and buttered it, he glanced at the cans and grumbled to himself.
"What?" Harry asked, misunderstanding Ron and thinking that he was being spoken to.
" I said I hate it when Hermione shops at the Muggle grocery stores. I'm not like my dad." Ron went off into a series of grumbles, but Harry decided to let the subject go. They arranged the food onto a plate and carried it into the room where the two girls sat, pouring over books. ~*~ As I said, this one's short, but it works out that way for the chapters. Next one will be up tomorrow!!!!
