After classes were over late that evening Hermione went straight to the dormitory complaining of a headache, which wasn't truly a lie. Hermione had heard all the yelling and screaming she could take for one day. Neville having blown up his pot in potions and having set Snape's robes on fire had gotten a howler from both Snape and His Grandmum. Hermione watched helplessly as Snape had chewed Neville out and Neville looked as though he was about to Cry. Hermione finally have gotten tired of hearing him yell. Had eventually yelled out and Snape and Snape yelled back. And took 50 points from Gryffindor for a "miss-no-it-all"

Hermione flung herself down on her bed and began to cry. It was so unfair. People hated her because she has smart and a mud blood (a dirty name for a witch or wizard who are muggle born or half breed...other wise not pureblood—even Harry and Ron had at one point before they rescued her from a troll on Halloween in their first year) Tears ran down her cheeks and she felt as though the tears would be her only comfort forever and eternity. She allowed her eyes to shut and drifted into a deep sleep.

"Hermione, look out behind you!" yelled Harry. Hermione looked slowly behind her and saw lord Voldemort standing over her with Death Eaters surrounding her. He had an evil grin on his face. His wand was pointed at someone. It was Ron! "No! Don't hurt Ron!" but the words wouldn't come out. She raised her wand to do a spell but she couldn't say the incantation. Frustrated, tears filled her eyes.

A sob escaped her throat as Dementors came upon Harry. Sirius' face flashed in front of her eyes. She was knocked out on the ground. Harry was laying there dead. "NO HE CANT BE DEAD" She screamed and started to run but she was frozen to where she was standing..."HERMIONE WAKE UP ITS JUST A NIGHTMARE!"

Someone shook Hermione and she woke with a jerk. It was Luna and Ginny. They had worried looks on there faces Ginny had tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine—"She began.

"No you weren't fine Hermione. We've been trying to wake you for about an hour. You were murmuring about he-who-must-not-be-named. You were kicking and screaming out 'NO HARRY HE CANT BE DEAD'" Sobbed Ginny. Luna held Ginny tightly.

"You gave us quite a fright Hermione. I think you should see Dumbledore about the dreams" she looked down and spotter Hermione's bracelet on the night stand. "Where did you get that from?" She said pointedly.

"Well—I'm not quite sure. Winky brought it to me. Someone gave it to her to give to me. And I have the strangest feeling it was Ron." Ginny looked up at that and her eyes still glistening with tears had a sparkle of micheif in them.

"You like my Brother?" She smiled through her tears. Hermione blushed a deep crimson and through her pillow playfully at Ginny.

"Go to bed. We have a busy day tomorrow."

"Hermione you've studied so much in the first week that you shouldn't need to study anymore this year." Luna exclaimed exasperated.

"You can never study to much," Hermione said nonchalantly. Ginny and Luna rolled there eyes, crawled into there bed and soon were asleep. Hermione stared at the ceiling trying to fall asleep but not succeeding. Hermione finally drifted back to sleep, dreaming no more about Lord Voldemort that night.

Hermione woke the next morning in a good mood. She put on her bracelet and put on her dress robes to go down to breakfast. She walked down to the Common room and spotted Ginny and Luna going through the portrait hole. She hurried to catch up and walked down to the Great Hall together.

They arrived in the great hall and spotted Ron and Harry sitting with Lee. (George and Fred's best friend when they were at Hogwarts) Hermione looked to Ron who was looking at his plate anxiously. Hermione rolled her eyes, that boy was almost always hungry! Hermione looked to Harry who had messed up his hair and was showing his golden snitch to Lee and grinning mischievously. He was acting more like his dad.

"Hullo Harry, why exactly do you have that snitch? Shouldn't it be with all the other quidditch material?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Its not a real snitch. Its bewitched to act and do like a real snitch does though." He smirked happily.

"Well, you shouldn't have it. Honestly you are such a show off at times!" Hermione looked at Ron who was now eating hurriedly. Then back at Harry who had just used the engorgement charm on his sausage and was grinning at it. Hermione sat exasperated. Then Hermione saw Harry levitate the sausage toward Ron. Hermione looked at Ron who was gawking at the Sausage like it was a million galleons. Harry levitated over Ron's head and let it drop with a plunk on his head.

He then yelled out "FOOD FIGHT" food started flying everywhere and Ron had hid up under the table to escape getting dirty but would occasionally catch a piece of sausage and eat it. Hermione looked at the Slytherin table who had joined in then the Hufflepuff, then finally Ravenclaw. Hermione looked in all at the food flying in the great hall. And then up to the Head Table when Dumbledore sat with a smirk on his face. Dumbledore stood up, looking furious, but he had a twinkle of mischief in his eyes.

"Everyone" He said above the noise, but everyone was still throwing food "EVERYONE!" Everyone shut up and looked at the head table. You have started this fight, but you will indeed not finish it. I will" Dumbledore levitated the tables of food from all four houses and poured the excess food on everyone's head. Then with a wink at Hermione he levitated the table where all the teachers we looking stunned, and poured it all over Snape, McGonagall, Hagrid, and Professor Lemorick's (new defense against the dark arts teacher) head.

Hermione hurried out of the great hall with eggs in her hair and bacon down her robes. She furiously shook her hair, and knocked most the eggs out. Hermione ran down to the Lake and jumped in to remove all the "Breakfast" from her body. Before she jumped in she yelled "Accio Bathing suit," and quickly changed in to it. She dipped under the water and felt as though she had been refreshed after a long walk in the desert.

She furiously scrubbed the eggs out of her hair and secretly put some shampoo into her hair, then dipped down and rinsed the soapy suds out. She resurfaced to the top of the water to notice she was not alone. Harry and Ron had come into the lake, Hermione blushed furiously and dipped under the water and hid behind a rock.

She heard Harry and Ron laughing happily...and then heard her name, she furiously listened to what they were saying.

"Yeah, Hermione is the best friend I've ever had, but I would never go out with her" said Harry in a high voice. "So what's up with you and Hermione anyway? I see the way you look at her...Like she's an angel or something"

"Well I do like her, but, what if I ask her to Hogsmeade one weekend? And she says no? What would I do?"

"Well something's are worth the risk. You should give it a try.."

"But she hates me!"

"What ever gave you that ideal? She's Jealous of any girl that you might fancy."

"Really?" Ron said stupidly. "I guess it's worth a try."

Hermione watched Ron and Harry dip under the water and swim away from her; she quickly jumped out of the water, and ran back to the school. With her heart beating just as fast as she was running.
