~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All the teachers agreed that since the OWLS were coming up for the 5th years that they had to work 5 times as hard ("But they're at the end of the year." Ron whined).
Hermione was working really hard.in fact she was working harder then Harry and he took more classes.
Hermione looked up from her Arithmancy book at Harry, who, at the time, was translating some Ruins.
Hermione didn't want to admit it but she was starting to feel something towards Harry that, in her opinion, friends shouldn't.
ARG! He's my best friend! Why did I have to like him?" She thought angrily.
Jasmine, who was sitting next to her, jumped and looked at her with a start and said, "What did you just say Herm?"
Hermione blinked and said, "I didn't say anything.but I thought something."
Jasmine blinked and thought, No way.did I just.READ her MIND? I've gotta talk to Harry about this.
She looked at her bother working hard and about to go talk to him when there was a sudden blast from the corner of the room causing everyone to turn around.
There in the center of the smoke was Fred, George, and Gemma all with bright green hair.
Everyone laughed.Gemma had been welcomed into the Weasley twin's 'prank club' and the called her their heir for when they left Hogwarts at the end of the year.
Harry shook his head and started polishing his sword.teaching a class was hard and he wasn't looking forwards to it anymore.well not as much.
He set is sword down and picked up a piece of parchment with the finalist for Keeper on the Gryffindor team.
Ron, Gemma, Alia, Mike, Jon, Hermione, Seamus, and Dean.
He bit his lip.they were all good but so far only one person blocked ALL the goals.after he taught her how to fly she was a 'cracking keeper'.George's words of Oliver Wood 2 years back.
He jester for Fred, George, Angelina, Alicia and Katie to come over.
"OK we NEED to choose one of these people.now take a slip of paper and write down the one you think should be Keeper."
They nodded, took a slip of paper and wrote down who they wanted for the job.
A few minutes later Harry took them and read then smiled and said, "Well it's anomies, we all choose the same one."
They all looked at each other and smiled.
Harry stood up and said, "Can I have your attention please?"
Everyone went silent quickly.Harry always had that effect on the Gryffindors.
Katie stepped forwards and said, "We'd like to announce the new Keeper for the Gryffindor Team."
Everyone was very silent now.
It's gonna be me.I know it is. Ron thought confidently and got ready to get up and join the team.
Harry was standing beside where Hermione sat and took her hand and said, "The new Gryffindor Keeper is Hermione Granger."
He yanked her up beside him and everyone started cheering.well almost everyone.
The other's who were finalists congratulated her.well at least Gemma, Seamus, Dean, Alia (A 7th Year), Mike (A 3rd Year), Jon (A 4th Year) did.
Ron on the other hand was fuming.how did Hermione get picked and not him?
He looked at Hermione who was blushing and still holding Harry's hand.
Well there's my answer why. He thought darkly and stomped into his dormitory.
"In honour of Herm here we're gonna start the biggest freaking party this year!" Fred yelled as he and George ran out the common room door.
As the party started and everyone was doing their own thing and such Hermione looked at Harry and said, "Why'd you choose me?"
Harry shook his head and said, "It wasn't JUST me.the whole team choose you because you were the best."
She smiled and said thank you.
Jasmine watched all this closely and tried to read some more minds but nothing happened.until Harry started thinking about how proud he was of Hermione.
Jasmine gasped in shock when it hit her.she couldn't really read minds.well not normally. She could only see when someone was thinking about someone they really cared for.she'd ask Remus about this later.
The party went till about 1 in the morning until everyone was asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Professor McGonagall sighed again as everyone but the Gryffindors showed up for the second time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry yawned and opened his eyes and looked around.
Almost all the Gryffindors were laying everywhere in the common room.only a few people managed to get to their dorms.
He looked over and blushed a brilliant red seeing Hermione cuddled up next to him.
He nudged her and said, "Mione.wake up."
She opened her eyes and said, "I don't wanna.too comfy."
Harry blushed and about 4 seconds later Hermione shot up and started blushing like crazy.
"What time is it?" She asked, some other people were starting to also wake up.
"Umm." Harry looked at his watch then said, "Nine Thirty."
"NINE THIRTY!" They both yelled and jumped up.
The whole common room heard that and all got up and starting running around, fixing their robes, doing hair and in the girl's case putting on makeup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a sudden rumble of what sounded like a stampede and every single Gryffindor burst into the hall out of breath and all looking dead tired.
McGonagall stood up as they sat down and said, "What's the meaning of this?"
"We had a party last night mame and none of us got to sleep till one and Harry and Hermione were the first ones to wake and that was at 9:30," Angelina said to her with a sorry smile on her face.
"Well I don't except it to happen again.understand," She said to them all harshly and said, "Since you missed half a class now you'll make it up later.now go."
All the Gryffindors nodded and ran to their classes.
"I'm glad I don't have potions first today," Harry said to them as they ran.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hagrid smirked as he saw the tired Gryffindors 5th years that were taking his class sit down on the ground with the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins behind them.
"Now we'll be working hard taday.I told ya taday 'ould be an importan' class," He said to all of them.
They all groaned but he said, "Ya'll eac' get a topic an' hav' to write a report 'bout it AND take care of yer creatur'"
Padma Patil raised her hand and said, "How are we decided on who gets what?"
At that moment Professor Dumbledore came strolling over with a stool in one hand and the sorting hat in another and said, "The sorting hat will do that trick."
Dumbledore put it in Padma's head and said, "Now watch."
"FLOWER FAIRY!"
She took it off and Hagrid handed her a Flower Fairy.
She screamed with delight and said, "It's so cute!"
Everyone laughed and got different things.Hermione happened to get a Phoenix but they didn't have one.
Harry spoke up and said, "You can borrow my Phoenix named Fuego if you want."
Hermione blinked, slightly surprised Harry had a phoenix but nodded and said, "Thank you."
As it turned our Ron got a Dragon and Lavender got a Griffin.
Ron laughed cause they didn't have those either and said to Harry, "Hey Hare, got a small Dragon and Griffin too?"
Harry nodded his head and said, "Yeah, you and Lavender can borrow them to. The Dragon is Lightning and the Griffin is Merlin."
Everyone looked at Harry.how many animals did he have?
It was now Harry's turn.and he knew what he was getting.
Harry took a deep breath as the hat yelled out, "BASILISK!"
Everyone started whispering and Hagrid said, "Sorry 'Arry.I don' got one of those."
Dumbledore watched Harry as he said, "It's ok Hagrid.I can manage."
He knew it.a new Basilisk could be created from the skin and blood of an old one, but he wouldn't have it killed or anything.
He's the heir of all the founders including Slytherin.and he's not panicking so he can control the Basilisk.I just hope he knows what he's doing, Dumbledore thought then.
"Alrigh' kids, I'll see ya later and remember start yur project," Hagrid said to them at the end of class.
The all nodded and took off to their separate classes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"THIS IS BULL!" Ron yelled looking up from all his work.seems every teacher was making them do a project like in Care of Magical Creatures.
Harry didn't even look up.Hermione and Jasmine persuaded him to draw up a times table.and even though he was smart he HATED studying and all that stuff.
"Some things never change," Ron had said happily when Harry started complaining about the load of homework he had.
Ron looked at Harry as he threw Ron's list down he and mumbled something about, "Being too easy."
Ron growled a bit.he had been acting nice to Harry and Hermione but was close to snapping soon.
Transfiguration - Animagi Potions - Fire and Ice Poison Herbology - Wizard Lilies History of Magic - The Hogwarts Founders Ancient Ruins - Egypt Ruins Arithmancy - Number Patterns Muggle Studies - Computers Care of Magical Creatures - Basilisk Divination - Crystal Balls
Harry looked over his list slightly confused.something was wrong with it.
Jasmine looked over his shoulder and said, "What did you get for Defence Against the Dark Arts?"
Harry gasped remembering that Professor Lupin said they would each get a topic about a type of wizard or witch with rare and very strong powers.
No one had told what they got though.
Hermione looked at Harry and thought, I can interview him since he's a Parselmouth and that's my topic.
Jasmine remembered looking at her's and realizing what it was, a soulmater. Someone who could see who you were meant to be with, what they were thinking if it was about their partner and so on.that's what she was.
Harry jumped up and said, "Professor Lupin didn't give me one.I better go and tell him."
Without waiting for an answer he beat it quickly out of the common room.
Hermione giggled seeing his panicked face.Professor Lupin was his favorite teacher along with Professor Dumbledore and Harry never wanted to disappoint him.
"The goof.wonder how he missed that one?" Lavender said not looking up from her book looking up Seers for her Defence Against the Dark Arts Project.
Parvati looked up and said, "No idea.also WHY did you get the Seer not me.
Lavender laughed and said, "Luck."
Parvati laughed and said, "Well at least I got the Wiccan."
Hermione rolled her eyes but laughed all the same and said, "Yeah. Good old Harry would probably forget his head if it wasn't attached."
"You wouldn't mind that Herm.then you could keep his head with you 24/7," Jasmine whispered to her causing Gemma (Who was beside her) to burst out laughing.
That was it.Ron was really ticked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry ran to Professor Lupin's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Remus's voice came through the door.
Harry walked in and the black dog that was Sirius jumped on him and licked him.
"Woah down Snuffles," Harry said well laughing.
Remus laughed and said, "Can I do anything for you Harry?"
"Yes.you forgot to give me a topic to do for my project," Harry said sheepishly.
Remus slapped his head after a few minutes and said, "I knew I forgot to tell somebody about what they were doing!"
He dug through his papers then stopped as he found one and said, "Ahh yes, Harry you are doing the Magic Master."
"Magic Master." Harry mumbled confused.he'd never heard of it before.
"Here's a note.cause all the books you need are in the restricted section in the library," Remus said passing it to him.
"Thank you Remus.I better get going. See you later Snuffles," Harry said as he ran out the door.
Sirius transformed into a human again and said, "Why did you give him such a hard topic?"
"He needs to know Sirius.in Lily's will it said to tell him," Remus replied.
"Too bad James never knew," Sirius said well watching the door that Harry had excited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry walked to the Portrait of the Fat Lady and heard yelling.
"What the?" Harry asked.
The fat lady looked at him and said, "Your two friend Ron and Hermione are fighting again.although it sounds really big this time."
Harry gawked for a moment then said, "I'd stay around and talk but I guess I need to get in there."
She nodded and said, "That's ok Harry.well what's the password?"
"Fuego Phoenix," Harry said and the fat lady flew open and a blast of yelling welcomed him as he walked in.
Seamus, Dean and Neville all saw him and ran over to him and Dean said, "They're crazy.I don't even know WHAT they're fighting about anymore.after all they're yelling so loud you can't even tell."
Harry looked at them then ran towards his two fighting friends.
"HERMION! RON! STOP IT!" He yelled causing the whole common room to jump and the two arguing teens to shut up.
Ron glared as Harry said, "What the hell are you two on about?"
"Ron said I don't deserve to be on the Quidditch team," Hermione said to Harry, she put it nicely.Ron had really sad a lot of terrible things to her.
Ron looked at them then took off into his dorm.
Everyone was quiet and just watched the staircase.
Hermione shook and Harry took her hand and said, "What did he really say?"
Hermione started crying and Harry looked up at the other girls (Meaning Jasmine, Gemma, Lavender and Parvati) and saw that Parvati and Gemma seemed about ready to laugh.as did Seamus well Jasmine and Lavender both looked angry.
Harry started fuming when Neville said, "Come on guys.lets go for a walk."
They nodded and all the 5th years left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They all entered an empty classroom and Harry closed the door and turned to the sharply.
"OK now I want the truth...Gemma, Seamus, Parvati, what exactly was so funny back there?" Harry snapped.
"Hermione crying over getting called a Mudblood," Gemma said.
"Actually it was funny how Ron said she should have been the first Mudblood Slytherin in history," Parvati said not really thinking.
Hermione let out a sob and Jasmine and Lavender each put an arm around her shoulder for support.
Harry glared.Dean and Neville grabbed Hermione, Lavender and Jasmine and yanked them quickly out of the way as Harry's face started to go red.well actually a soft red light was making his face red.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT? NOTHING! I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE GRYFFINDORS! YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN SLYTHERIN! I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT WE ALL MADE A PROMISE TO STICK TOGETHER! WELL GUESS WHAT? GRYFFINDOR'S DIVIDING!"
With that Harry stomped out the room followed by his 4 friends leaving the other 3 being shocked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
News had spread through the Gryffindors about what had happened.apparently the fight Ron and Hermione had was worse then anything.but they all agreed (including Harry) that the only way Gryffindor would really divide would be if something really bad.little did they know that night the peace between the house would split.
Harry sat in the common room finish the last bit of his homework when he heard someone walk up behind him.
"Hello Ron," Harry said to the red head trying to stay a bit calm.he was still angry.
"Harry," Ron said with a nod and sat down across from him.
"Do you know what happened this summer after Hermione left the Burrow?" Ron asked him.
Harry shook his head.he hadn't heard of anything that happened that summer.including the news on Voldemort.
"You-know-who came to my house when Fred, George, Ginny and I were out. Percy, Charlie, and Bill made it out with a few broken bones. Mom got a coma and still hasn't woke up.Dad died," Ron said to Harry.
Harry's mouth fell open.that's when it hit him.
In the summer, after his birthday he had gone to Dumbledore's office to talk to him. When he got there Dumbledore quickly stuffed a bunch of what looked like news papers out of sight.Dumbledore was hiding it all from him!
"Wanna know what's worse Potter?" Ron asked starting to sound really harsh.
"What?" Harry asked keeping his courage up.
"There was a note left on the wall in Dad's blood.it said 'Say thank you to Potter.his memory in his blood told me WHERE YOU WERE!" Ron ended in a yell.
Harry sat shocked then Ron leaped up and said, "It's all your fault.why did you let You Know Who come back? Why did you let him kill Cedric Diggory? WHY DID YOU LET HIM ATTACK MY FAMILY!?"
Harry jumped up and said, "If there's one thing Dumbledore taught me over the summer it's that you can't change Fate and everything that happens was meant to.so no it wasn't my fault."
Ron ignored him and said, "First you make me lose some of my family.then you make me lose a spot on the Quidditch team just because you like Hermione and now you turn half of Gryffindor against me? WELL I'M SICK OF BEING IN YOUR SHADOW POTTER!"
Harry glared at Ron and yelled, "YOU AREN'T MAKING ANY SENSE! YOUR MOTHER OR FATHER WOULDN'T WANT YOU BALMING ANYBODY!"
By now everyone in Gryffindor was awake and everyone could hear them clearly.
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW POTTER? YOUR PARENTS ARE DEAD! AND GOOD RIDDANCE TOO!" Ron yelled back.
Harry stopped and stared ain shock at Ron.everyone knew the Red head had gone too far there.
Harry exploded and yelled, "HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY FAMILY? WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT IT RONALD FRANCIES WEALSEY? WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT NEVER KNOWN YOUR PARENTS? YOU WERE LUCKY TO KNOW YOU DAD! YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T BE A GRYFFINDOR! HECK YOU COULDN'T EVEN FIT IN SLYTHERIN NOW! FORGET WE EVER KNEW EACH OTHER RON! FOR NOW ON I HATE YOU WORSE THEN I DO DRACO MALFOY!"
"WHY DON'T YOU GO MAKE FRIENDS WITH HIM THEN!" Ron yelled back
"GREAT IDEA! I'LL DO THAT TOMORROW MORNING!" Harry yelled, grabbed his books and stomped into the dormitory.all of the Gryffindors knew it now and agreed, they were no longer one large and great team.they were two smaller teams stuck in the same house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
O.O
Did I just write that? Holy.I don't even know where I'm going with this but I'm doing better then in my other HP fics.there will be more Harry/Hermione and more couples.
So Gryffindor's 'split up'.is that good or bad? What will everyone do when they find out? Why the hell is Parvati, Seamus, Gemma and Ron being so mean at the moment? I myself have no clue.
Well see ya next time and please review

"HERMION! RON! STOP IT!" He yelled causing the whole common room to jump and the two arguing teens to shut up.

Hermione started crying and Harry looked up at the other girls (Meaning Jasmine, Gemma, Lavender and Parvati) and saw that Parvati and Gemma seemed about ready to laugh.as did Seamus well Jasmine and Lavender both looked angry.
Harry started fuming when Neville said, "Come on guys.lets go for a walk."
They nodded and all the 5th years left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They all entered an empty classroom and Harry closed the door and turned to the sharply.
"OK now I want the truth...Gemma, Seamus, Parvati, what exactly was so funny back there?" Harry snapped.
"Hermione crying over getting called a Mudblood," Gemma said.
"Actually it was funny how Ron said she should have been the first Mudblood Slytherin in history," Parvati said not really thinking.
Hermione let out a sob and Jasmine and Lavender each put an arm around her shoulder for support.
Harry glared.Dean and Neville grabbed Hermione, Lavender and Jasmine and yanked them quickly out of the way as Harry's face started to go red.well actually a soft red light was making his face red.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT? NOTHING! I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE GRYFFINDORS! YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN SLYTHERIN! I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT WE ALL MADE A PROMISE TO STICK TOGETHER! WELL GUESS WHAT? GRYFFINDOR'S DIVIDING!"
With that Harry stomped out the room followed by his 4 friends leaving the other 3 being shocked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
News had spread through the Gryffindors about what had happened.apparently the fight Ron and Hermione had was worse then anything.but they all agreed (including Harry) that the only way Gryffindor would really divide would be if something really bad.little did they know that night the peace between the house would split.
Harry sat in the common room finish the last bit of his homework when he heard someone walk up behind him.
"Hello Ron," Harry said to the red head trying to stay a bit calm.he was still angry.
"Harry," Ron said with a nod and sat down across from him.
"Do you know what happened this summer after Hermione left the Burrow?" Ron asked him.
Harry shook his head.he hadn't heard of anything that happened that summer.including the news on Voldemort.
"You-know-who came to my house when Fred, George, Ginny and I were out. Percy, Charlie, and Bill made it out with a few broken bones. Mom got a coma and still hasn't woke up.Dad died," Ron said to Harry.
Harry's mouth fell open.that's when it hit him.
In the summer, after his birthday he had gone to Dumbledore's office to talk to him. When he got there Dumbledore quickly stuffed a bunch of what looked like news papers out of sight.Dumbledore was hiding it all from him!
"Wanna know what's worse Potter?" Ron asked starting to sound really harsh.
"What?" Harry asked keeping his courage up.
"There was a note left on the wall in Dad's blood.it said 'Say thank you to Potter.his memory in his blood told me WHERE YOU WERE!" Ron ended in a yell.
Harry sat shocked then Ron leaped up and said, "It's all your fault.why did you let You Know Who come back? Why did you let him kill Cedric Diggory? WHY DID YOU LET HIM ATTACK MY FAMILY!?"
Harry jumped up and said, "If there's one thing Dumbledore taught me over the summer it's that you can't change Fate and everything that happens was meant to.so no it wasn't my fault."
Ron ignored him and said, "First you make me lose some of my family.then you make me lose a spot on the Quidditch team just because you like Hermione and now you turn half of Gryffindor against me? WELL I'M SICK OF BEING IN YOUR SHADOW POTTER!"
Harry glared at Ron and yelled, "YOU AREN'T MAKING ANY SENSE! YOUR MOTHER OR FATHER WOULDN'T WANT YOU BALMING ANYBODY!"
By now everyone in Gryffindor was awake and everyone could hear them clearly.
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW POTTER? YOUR PARENTS ARE DEAD! AND GOOD RIDDANCE TOO!" Ron yelled back.
Harry stopped and stared ain shock at Ron.everyone knew the Red head had gone too far there.
Harry exploded and yelled, "HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY FAMILY? WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT IT RONALD FRANCIES WEALSEY? WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT NEVER KNOWN YOUR PARENTS? YOU WERE LUCKY TO KNOW YOU DAD! YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T BE A GRYFFINDOR! HECK YOU COULDN'T EVEN FIT IN SLYTHERIN NOW! FORGET WE EVER KNEW EACH OTHER RON! FOR NOW ON I HATE YOU WORSE THEN I DO DRACO MALFOY!"
"WHY DON'T YOU GO MAKE FRIENDS WITH HIM THEN!" Ron yelled back
"GREAT IDEA! I'LL DO THAT TOMORROW MORNING!" Harry yelled, grabbed his books and stomped into the dormitory.all of the Gryffindors knew it now and agreed, they were no longer one large and great team.they were two smaller teams stuck in the same house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
O.O
Did I just write that? Holy.I don't even know where I'm going with this but I'm doing better then in my other HP fics.there will be more Harry/Hermione and more couples.
So Gryffindor's 'split up'.is that good or bad? What will everyone do when they find out? Why the hell is Parvati, Seamus, Gemma and Ron being so mean at the moment? I myself have no clue.
Well see ya next time and please review
