~*~*~*~*~*~* CHAPTER NINETEEN: CONFUSION
Hermione walked to Gryffindor tower almost in a daze, separated from the rest of the world. The night had been blissful: perfect and Hermione just couldn't stop smiling. Lost in her own world of thoughts she didn't hear Neville calling her back to earth.
"Hermione! Hermione?"
"What?" Hermione said, abruptly.
"Hey Hermione!" Neville said, "I thought you went back to the common room a long time ago?" sounding confused
"No, I -uh--decided to take a walk instead" she said
"Oh" They had reached the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.
"Password?" The Portrait asked
"Weasley is our king" Hermione said lazily but smiled thinking back to fifth year when Draco had made up that horrid song about Ron. He's changed so much since then she thought.
Hermione entered the divinely gold/scarlet decorated common room and saw everyone sitting by the couch.
"Hi everyone!" Neville said, taking a seat next to Luna.
"Hey Hermione!" Ginny called out.
"Hi" she said, sitting next to Ginny.
"Where were you Hermione?" Harry said, his arm around Ginny "I thought you went to the common room earlier, but we beat you here!"
"hmm" Hermione said, lost in thought, staring into the blazing fire.
"Hermione?" Ron said, bringing Hermione out of her thoughts.
"What?" she asked looking around, receiving questioning glances from everyone
"Harry asked you where you were," Ron said, getting annoyed.
"Oh that, yea I went to--to" Hermione panicked, she couldn't remember what she had told Neville! "To the library." She said quickly
"Whatever for?" Luna asked in that dreamy voice she had. Luna's mind always seemed to be somewhere else.
"Umm. I went to double check that assignment for Snape's class to make sure I did it right"
"Wait Hermione! That's not what you told me earlier!" Neville said, looking very confused. Hermione's heart starting beating furiously in her chest, why couldn't she remember?!
"Its not?" she asked attempting to sound innocent.
"No! You said you went for a walk!" Neville said sounding more confused by the minute "At least I think so"
Poor Neville! She thought
"Oh yes, that's right. I went to the Library and then went for a walk," she said quickly, getting quite good at improvising.
"Oh" Neville said, apparently satisfied with the answer. The others just nodded.
Hermione heaved a sigh of relief. That was a close one! She thought.
But the uneventful evening subsided, and everyone said his or her goodnights, much to Hermione's
