I don't own any of the Harry Potter Characters.

        "I have an important announcement to make." Professor Dumbledore said. "The Griffindor and the Ravenclaw house leaders will be at a meeting for the next month."

"What? Professor McGonagall is going to be gone all month?" Hermione whispered. "That's what it sounds like" Harry replied. Harry and Ginny were sitting across from Hermione and Ron. Dumbledore's voice cut back into their conversation… "We have gotten replacements for this month, when they will be gone." This is Professor Jihan, she will be taking over the Ravenclaw house and this is Professor Hagrid. Hagrid stood up from the table. You all know Hagrid, so Professor Jihan, tell the students about yourself…" Dumbledore's words trailed off as Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron all looked at each other. "Hagrid?" Ron asked, I didn't think…" "Wow, this is going to be an interesting month…" Harry replied. "Well we only have two months of school left." Hermione said. Ginny just sat there awestruck, while Harry rubbed her leg under the table.

Later that day

Ginny and Harry sat in the common room, Ginny sat with her legs over Harry's on the sofa and Ron was sitting in a chair looking at a book. "Ron are you still working on that?" Hermione said as she walked in from the girl's dormitories. "Yes, I don't understand it."

"Do I have to do everything?" Hermione asked to no one in particular, with a smile. "I didn't ask for your help." Ron replied smiling a big grin. "Oh, come on Ron, you were just whining about how you didn't want to do it."

"I didn't say that… in fact I'm going to go do it now with Harry." Ron said, turning to Harry. "Come on Harry" Ron said, pleading with his eyes. Harry looked at Ginny and Ginny nodded, she moved her legs and he got up. "So how are you and Harry? You seem to have him wrapped around your finger." Hermione said when the boys were gone. "Yeah."

"What's the matter Gin?"

"Nothing…"

"Something's the matter, did he try something on you?"

"No, of course not, you know he wouldn't do that."

"Then what is it?"

"It's just that… he's leaving in 2 months, then he won't want to have anything to do with me." Ginny said as tears started welling in her eyes. "Oh, Ginny" Hermione said, getting up and sitting next to her. "You know as well as I do that he wants to be with you forever." Ginny looked at Hermione with her big brown eyes. "Really?" "Yes! Like I said, you've got him wrapped around your finger. Which reminds me, I got to go owl George!" Hermione laughed. "Are you going to be ok?" "Yeah, I'll be fine. I think I'll go for a walk." "Ok don't stay out to late."

"I won't" They both walked out of the portrait hole together, Hermione took a right, and Ginny took a left, towards the dungeons.
