Ron and Hermione walked back to Hogwarts castle after having tea and a new sort of biscuit Hagrid had made himself(they were actually quite soft and easy to chew).They had talked about almost everything that had gone on, and Hagrid had given them all the details of Voldemort's arrest.

Voldemort had been in one of his secret hideouts, far away from anywhere. It was in a deep, dark, little cave. He had been alone except for his pet snake and two death eaters, who lived in a little hut just a few feet away from the mouth of cave. The Order of the Pheonix had recieved an owl very early in the morning reporting that a sighting had been made and that some of them should come quickly. Mr. and Mrs. Wealsey, Tonks, Lupin, Dumbledore, mad-Eye Moody, and about five others went, including Snape. They had been held up a bit at the beginning ("bad weather, ya know?"), but soon got there. They found the two gaurds there and imediately pounced on them. They stunned them and left them lying in the ground while they went to search for Voldemort. They soon found him, huddled in his cave. They stunned him, but not without a vicious fight. Snape had been given two broken bones, Mr. Weasley had suffered a nose bleed that seemed to never end, and Moody had been stunned.

Thats all Hagrid would tell them, but they knew there was more to it.

"So, what do you want to go do now?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know. Lets go see what everyone else is doing." Ron said as he opened the doors to Hogwarts.

"Alright."

They walked down the hallways passing students who were celebrating. When they entered the Gryffindor common room, noise erupted all around them.

"Hermione! ROn! Come join the party!" Seamus was sitting in a corner of the room with Lavender, Neville, and some others. They were all drinking buttrbeer and laughing.

Ron and Hermione went to sit with them.

"Have something to drink."

"Thanks." Hermione accepted her butterbeer and smiled at Seamus.

Ron only wished that she would smile at him like that. He hadn't told anyone, except for Harry, that he liked Hermione. He had liked her every since their third year. When she had been petrified he had realized how much he missed her and wanted her there. Her newly straightened hair was beautiful and her eyes were gorgeous. She didn't need to wear any makeup in Ron's eyes, but she did and he thought it made her even more pretty. She wore a little eyeliner and then a light shimmery purple eyeshadow. It brought out her brown eyes. Not that Ron knew thats why her eyes popped, he just knew she looked beautiful.

"Aren't you guys thrilled?!?" Lavender sqealed as she sipped her butterbeer.

"Thrilled? Im more than thrilled! Classes are cancelled! That means no more snape for a week!" Even though Neville was not the little weak kid he used to be, he was still scared of Snape. Neville was now very handsome,with a cute little kid look.

Ron looked at Seamus. He wasn't that bad looking either. He wondered who Hermione liked. If she liked anyone for that matter. He didn't think he could handle her going out with anyone but him. His heart would break.

"Ron? Are you listening?" Nevill looked at him.

"Oh, um, sry. What?"

"We just ask you if you wanted to go play Quidditch with us?" Seamus said.

"oh, yeah, sure." They all got out of their chairs and went to go get broomsicks. A moment later they were al back in the common room.

As they were walking out, Seamus put his arm around Hermiones shoulder and whisperred something to her. She giggled as he walked on and went over to talk to Neville.

"What did he just say to you?" Ron asked,more abruptly then he meant to.

"It was nothing. He just wants me to meet him in the library later so I can help him on his Potions essay." Hermioe answered, looking puzzled at why ROn had said that so harshly.

"oh. Right." ROn looked down embarassed and walked away to catch up with Neville and Seamus.

"What's up with him?" Lavender asked, coming up to Hermiones side.

Hermione sighed, "I don't know."
