I own nothing as stated earlier. I want to thank everyone who has reviewed my story. Sorry again for not mentioning names. My internet was down once again at the time that I typed this up.

Chapter 23

"Yes Ron a truce, you know where you agree not to argue with someone." Hermione said in her know it all tone.

"Yes Hermione" Ron said in the same tone "I know what a truce is but how can you trust that slimy git" Ron bellowed.

"Ron it's really none of your business" Hermione said as they headed off to care of magical creatures, Harry and Ron following right behind her.

"I can't believe her" Ron muttered to himself as he walked beside Harry, shaking his head. "It's like she is a completely different person."

"I know what you mean Ron, something has changed about her and I don't think It is just Malfoy." Harry said a gleam in his eye.

"What do you mean mate" Ron ask.

"Something is up; I noticed it on the Train to. There is something that she isn't telling us, and I want to find out" Harry said.

"How do you suggest we do that Harry" Ron ask looking up at Hermione ahead.

"We have to look for clues, follow her a bit I guess just to see if she is alright." Harry started.

"Interrogate Malfoy" Ron ask with a hopeful glint in his eyes.

"No Ron what would that help, besides Malfoy wouldn't know anything we don't already know. Hermione and He are Enemy's." Harry said though not to sure of himself.

"Are we sure they are enemies" Ron ask his voice soft.

"Let's hope so Ron, I don't want to lose my best friend, well besides you of course, especially not to Malfoy." Harry said in a low tone as they arrive at Hagrid's hut, to see a sight they were all familiar with Hermione already had her book out skimming over the material that they were going to be going over today.

"Well at least that is normal" Ron said indicating Hermione.

"Yes Ron I would have to say it is" Harry said as they went to take their normal places right beside of Hermione.

"Harry, Ron" Hermione acknowledged as they came to her sides not looking up from her book.

"Mione" Harry and Ron said at the same time as they looked toward the door to Hagrid's hut to see if the half-giant had come out yet.

"He hasn't came out yet" Hermione said in an uninterested tone as she continued to skim the book.

"Thanks Mione" Harry said as he smiled at her. Hermione looked up at the boys and gave them both a smile then frowned a bit.

"What's up you to" Hermione ask as the two continued to look at her.

"Nothing Mione why would you say that" Harry ask his eyes never leaving her face.

"yeah nothing is up" Ron said shifting his eyes a bit not looking directly at her.

"Ronald Weasley, and Harry Potter I know you two both better than that so don't give me nothing is up" Hermione said in a low angry voice.

"It's just that Mione we are worried about you" Harry said in a soft voice. Just as Hagrid walked out of his hut.

"Let's talk about this later the lesson is about to start" Hermione said as she turned her full attention onto Hagrid. The class seemed short compared to the potions lesson before hand even though they were the same length of time.

As Hermione, Harry and Ron turned to leave Hermione felt a peck on her shoulder. "Yes" Hermione said turning around to be met with Draco.

"We need to go over some Head business tonight, and we have a meeting with the prefects at 8, so I would like you to meet me in the common room at 7 so we can prepare what has to be addressed." Draco said in a formal tone.

"Sure Malfoy, Whatever" Hermione said in an uninterested voice, as she started to walk back toward the castle.

"Don't be late Granger" Draco called after her as he watched her stroll back toward the castle.

"Drakie," Pansy whined coming up behind Draco.

"What is it now Pansy" Draco ask with annoyance.

"Why do you spend so much time with that mudblood" Pansy pouted "When you could be spending your time with me."

"We are both Head's you know we have to plan things for Hogwarts and such" Draco said in an annoyed voice. " That means we have to spend time together, and further more if you were the last person in the wizarding world I wouldn't voluntary spend time with you" Draco said as he sauntered back toward the castle leaving pansy behind him sulking.
