Top secret

Disclaimer: You're not that dumb, are you?

Author's Note: I warn you, this chapter is utterly pointless.

Tell me what you think of Cho Chang! Anyone who reviewed my fanfic and DIDN'T tell me obviously didn't read the whole thing. To those who did, thank you.

Thanks to all my new reviewers! I will try to review your stories as soon as I have time. Okay, so here goes with another chapter…

Bob went back up to her dorm, where Annie and Caitlin were still discussing Harry and Ginny.

"I wonder who took those photos?" pondered Annie.

"Yeah, they'll be for it when Ginny finds out!" responded Caitlin gleefully.

"Oh, give it a rest!" groaned Bob, flinging herself on her bed and opening Hogwarts, a History. Caitlin and Annie exchanged Meaning Glances, and then Caitlin whipped the book out of Bob's hands.

"Hey!" said Bob, "Give that back!"

"Why?" asked Caitlin, teasingly.

"Because," Bob replied, through gritted teeth, "I was reading it."

"There's more to life than books, Bob," Caitlin said, holding the book tauntingly out of reach.

"And there's a lot more to life than gossip, Caitlin." Bob reached for her wand.

Caitlin was dancing around the room, holding Bob's book above her head.

"Do I really have to do this?" Bob asked quietly.

"Give it back, Cait," said Annie, the more law-abiding of the pair, nervously.

"Ooh, is the little bookworm getting angry?" taunted Caitlin.

Bob sprang to her feet.

"Inverterus!" she yelled, and Caitlin found herself upside down, with her feet stuck to the ceiling.

"Hey!" yelled Caitlin, "Get me down!"

Bob ignored her and summoned her book. "You're lucky it's a pretty basic curse," she commented, "I could have used a more advanced one, without a counter curse."

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Hermione appeared in the doorway. The sixth years gulped (or at least, Bob and Annie did, and Caitlin would have done, had she not been hanging from the ceiling). They hadn't realised how much noise they'd been making. The Head Girl's eyes took in Caitlin hanging next to the chandelier, Bob with her wand raised and Annie hovering nervously in the background.

"Oh no," Hermione muttered, "All right, what did you do this time?" she asked wearily, waving her wand and muttering a counter curse, so that Caitlin drifted safely back to earth, unharmed.

All three girls poured out their explanations in a confused stream. Hermione held up a hand. "Bob," she said, "You explain."

Bob told her everything that had happened.

"Roberta Granger!" said Hermione sharply, when her sister had finished. "You are not allowed to curse your fellow students. I would have thought you, of all people…Detention! Go to the library on Tuesday evening, I'm sure Madam Pince will find you something to do…And you, Caitlin, five points from Gryffindor for your childish behaviour." And with that, she turned and went back down the stairs to the common room.

"She's turning into a right Percy," complained Caitlin, who had been in trouble with the third-oldest Weasley many times in the past, throwing herself on her bed.

"For once," said Bob ruefully, "I couldn't agree with you more. But," she went on, brightening, "at least it's in the library. It can't be all that bad." She pulled a face. "Imagine! I could have been polishing trophies or something awful like that."

Caitlin looked horrified. "In the library? I never go near the place. I'd rather clean trophies any day. I'll never understand you, Bob."

"Nor I you," sighed Bob, shaking her head.

Just then, Ginny came in.

"So, what've I missed?" she asked.

"You're the talk of the school," answered Annie.

"I just lost Gryffindor five points," replied Caitlin.

"And I'm in detention." sighed Bob.

"Oh." Ginny blinked. "Not bad, considering I was only gone for five minutes."

"Well, you were rather busy." observed Annie.

"We were just talking!" said Ginny defensively, going red.

"Yeah, whatever." said Caitlin, grinning. "'Night!"

A/N: My apologies for the short, pointless chapter. It may be very important later on. It probably isn't.

Next chapter: Ron gets clobbered with a broomstick (it was meant to be this chapter, but it wasn't), Bob gets woken up in the middle of the night (Ditto) and Ron gives Terry murderous glares.
