Out of popular demand I shall stop putting up author notes. Ok before I start this chapter I need to thank the reviewers that reviewed just right after I posted up my little thanks. Thanks Monique4 I'll try to follow your suggestion with the AN thing and just put all my little author notes at the end lol and I guess that maybe I did lose a lot guy readers saying that girls are smarter but it was a joke lol. Another thanks to major issues 4 life. Sorry I'm keeping you, as well as a lot of the rest of the readers, in suspense but in due time things will start to unravel. Nm, sorry it sounds a little rushed. Ill try to slow down a bit. Colin thanx for your review. Glad you were hooked. Softball sweeti here's the update! Ally your not the only one with a learning disability. Many people didn't like the author notes either. Thanks Nosilla and HappySnakesRule for your reviews. I got them just in time before I went to post this chapter.

If you reviewed and you do not see your name above this chapter or in the author thanks this is probably because I forgot about you (I am such a clutz) You reviewed right after I posted something up. This doesn't mean I hate you!

Ok so at last here's chapter 6!

Disclaimer: pshaw

"And done!" Ron exclaimed triumphantly Friday night. Harry looked up from his game of

Exploding Snap surprised to see Ron doing his homework ahead of time!

"Ron what are you doing that essay for? That Herbology thing isn't due for until Tuesday!"

"Yeah I know. But I wanted to get started ahead of time because tomorrow's a

Hogsmeade weekend, Sunday we have Quidditch practice, and Monday...well I just have a

feeling that we're going to get bombarded with homework. So might as well get it done today."

Harry raised his eyebrows. Ron being responsible? This was just too much.

"And Hermione called me an irresponsible git when I asked her to help me with the

Charms essay that was due today. I have a feeling that I'm not getting on her good side this

year."
"Ah, I see. Well okay. But I don't think she'll believe that you did homework ahead of

time. So are you going to start on Potions? That's due Tuesday too."

"Potions? As in the class I loathe? Do it ahead of time? Now that's just being stupid or

Hermione. I mean come on Harry what do you take me for an idiot?"

"Some people would." said Hermione coming in the common room. "I don't think I've

ever been so bored patrolling the corridors. I didn't tell off one person. Not one! It was so

quiet."

"Where is everyone?" asked Harry.

"Everyone's in their common room trying to ask each other to the ball." said Ron. "People,

instead, should be finishing up their Herbology essay. Like me." he showed his essay to

Hermione.

"What is this?"

"My essay. Like it?"

"Harry is this really his essay?"

"Yeah. Weird i know." Harry said looking up from his game of Exploding Snap.

"Wow, Ron. I'm impressed. You actually did something responsible."

"See Hermione I can be responsible when I want to. Now I can go to Hogsmeade

tomorrow with a clean conscience. Unlike some people I know." he said casting Hermione a

smug look.

"You know what Ron, you're absolutely right." Hermione said. Harry fell out of his chair

causing the cards to topple over, and blow up. Even Ron looked surprised.

"I am?"

"You are. I should have been more responsible like you. I should have done my essay

ahead of time. I mean instead of looking up more information on S.P.E.W.--"

"You still haven't given that up yet?"

"--I should have been doing my essay. And since I was just so irresponsible, I won't be

going to Hogsmeade with you two."

"WHAT?" both Harry and Ron exclaimed.

"Come on Hermione you have all of Sunday and Monday. Please come to Hogsmeade?"

Ron pleaded.

"No, no. It will just be you two. I have a lot of catching up to do with my homework."

"Well, that's too bad. I'm going to bed. See you." Harry yawned and left the common

room.

As Hermione started doing her Potions essay she noticed Ron staring at her.

"What?"

"Nothing. Why won't you come to Hogsmeade." Ron asked hastily.

"I already told you I have too much homework. I have Charms, Transfiguration, not to

mention that Ancient Ruins report on how the city of Atlantis actually did fall, and--"

"You're lying." Ron interrupted. Hermione looked at him shocked.

"Excuse me?"

"You're lying. You're up to something. I know you are."

"And you know this...how?"

"I feel it. I know you're going to do something tomorrow that you don't want me or Harry

to know about."

"So now you can read me?" she asked acidly.

Ron thought a moment.

"Yes."

"Says the boy who thought I was on a diet."

"Whatever Ron, I'm going to bed and I'll just leave you to ponder what sort of mysterious

mission I'm on."
Later that night Ron couldn't sleep. He just couldn't figure out why Hermione would refuse

to go with him and Harry to Hogsmeade. It didn't make any sense. He felt a little hurt.

Rubbish. Why should I feel bad? I suppose she just had to get away from me and

Harry so she can do some things that girls like to do without guys. But she never does

girly things, and I know she's not studying. So does she just have to get away from me

and Harry...or just me?

The thought disturbed him. He didn't want Hermione to avoid him. And he began to

wonder why thought bothered him so much.

I know, I know, Harry is like practically doing. I'll try to make him more of a major role in the next chapter. Keep the reviews coming guys.
