When they finally got to Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had properly caught up, and they were laughing and joking like they had always done. When they entered the great hall for the feast, many heads turned their way, looking at Hermione's new look. Hermione was oblivious. She was looking at a certain Slytherin, who looked to be scheming evily with Blaise Zabini and Millicent Bulstrode, having ditched Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson ages ago. Hermione definately didn't like the look Draco had on his face when he glanced in her direction.

Her and Harry and Ron met up with Ginny, Dean, Seamus, Neville, Lavander, and Parvati at the Gryffindor table.When Ron saw Deans arm wrapped around Ginny's shoulders, he nearly had a fit, but Hermione and Harry managed to restrain him. Ginny looked up.

"Wow, Hermione, you look great! The guys will be all over you!" 'Haven't I already heard that?' thought Hermione. Harry looked from Ginny to Ron, and cracked up.

"What did I say??"

"Nothing..." Harry continued snickering madly. They sat down at the table, and listened to Dumbledore's opening speech. It was pretty much the usual. Except for the ending.

"I have a special anouncement for the Prefects. There will be an extra meeting after the feast in the great hall."

Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny were all prefects, and they were very curious about what this meeting could be about.
