Chapter 6: The Book is Put To Good Use

"Oh, look at this one!" Ron exclaimed as he and Harry and Liv poured over the new jinx book that Liv had gotten in Hogsmeade the day before, in all places, the boys dormitory.

Liv was laying on her stomach in the middle, Harry was leaning against the headboard and Ron was lounging at the foot of Harry's bed. The book lay open and the three were pouring over it as the door opened and Hermione walked in.

"What are you three doing?" she asked suspiciously.

"Charms homework," Liv said simply as Hermione made her way over. Harry silently braced himself for a Hermione explosion at the thought of what they were really doing, plotting against Malfoy and Ivy. Surely Hermione would see the book, the parchment with the plans written on them and their wands out, and she would have a cow. No, a whole herd of cattle.

"Oh," was all Hermione said as she looked over it all. "And Ron, change that third one."

He nodded and Hermione left.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Ron asked Liv.

"I bewitched the parchment and book to look like Charms homework," she replied.

"Oh, like with the Quibbler in the fifth year!"

Liv gave Ron a look of confusion and they continued on.

-----------------

The next morning the usual showing of Ivy running to Draco. Only this time as she made to press her lips to Draco's, he pulled away, a look of disgust on his face, and sat at the Slytherin table.

Ivy looked hurt and hurried out of the Hall.

"I should check on her," Hermione said as she too hurried from the hall.

Lavender came in a bit later and sat down next to Hermione's vacated spot.

"Guess who I just ran into," she said.

"Who?" Ron asked.

"Ivy. The poor girl was in the loo, positively howling when I swung in there to put on my finishing touches."

"You spend an hour and a half in the dormitory 'putting on the finishing touches', not to mention the two and a half hours you need to put on 'the basics'," Liv said.

Lavender rolled her eyes and continued, "I asked her what was wrong and she turned to look at me. I about dropped. She has the biggest spot on her nose and when she opened her mouth to say she didn't know what was wrong, I did drop. She has the worst halitosis! She didn't smell too good either. Rather like a sweating skunk that was scared."

At hearing this Ron Harry and Liv had looks of shock in their faces. Then Liv broke the silence of shock and started laughing.

Pretty soon, Harry and Ron joined in and by the time Lavender, Dean, Parvati, Ginny, Seamus and Neville realised and joined in, Liv,Harry and Ron had tears running down their faces.

"That was you wasn't it?" Parvati laughed.

Liv merely nodded and Harry sobered enough to say," It was me with the bad breath."

"Me. B.O." was all Ron managed.

"The spot was me," Liv said between laughs.

Hermione and Ivy then walked in and the Gryffindors stopped laughing immediately.

Hermione sat and didn't pay any attention to the red faces of her peers. She did, however notice the tears and red faces on Harry, Ron and Liv.

"What was that all about?" she asked suspiciously.

"Just Ron," Liv said and the others nodded.

Hermione shrugged and went back to her breakfast.
