"This is dull."

"Then study instead of moping around."

" I don't want to study."

"You may not want to, but you need to."

"Yeah, HEY!"

"That just proves my point Ronald Bilius Weasley."

"How did you find out my middle name?"

"Ginny and I have been bonding."

"What else do you know?"

"I don't think you would want me to say in front of Harry."

"Its okay 'Mione, you can tell me all of Ron's secrets."

"No Hermione! I'm studying!"

Ron had gotten out his Transfiguration book and was now reading. Hermione and Harry, who had been studying earlier, were now on the floor rolling around and shaking from silent laughter. Eventually Harry got up out, of breath, and silently began his homework while it appeared that Hermione was going to take a nap on the floor.

It had been a week since they were confined to a small dingy room in Hog's Head and the laughter was very rare. Not only had Harry and Hermione not talked over their romantic interest in each other but Ron was going insane being locked up in a pub.

"I am going to take a shower!" he cried one day.

"Bye, Ron."

"Have fun!"

Ron gave them a glare before strutting from the room. At this Harry burst out laughing as Ron's strutting reminded him about Malfoy. He wisely chose not to say this, though. Ron hadn't been in the best of moods lately.

"So Hermione, how's it going?"

Hermione shrugged and turned away. There had been lots of tension between the two since they had moved into Hog's Head.

"Fine."

"Er...Would you like to go out?" he asked timidly.

"We can't go out Harry, we've been banned from leaving this room."

"Um, right. I meant would you like to...erm...be in a, uh...relationship with me?"

"We already are in a relationship, it's called being friends." Said Hermione, not taking her eyes away from her books.

"I meant do you want to be my girlfriend Hermione?"

"I know that's what you meant," she said in annoyed voice, throwing down her quill, "and I'll have to consider your offer."

"Okay then, thanks for taking it into mind."

"You're quite welcome. See Harry, as much as I would enjoy dating you I don't know if I should. Things are already bad enough with Ron, and you took long enough to ask me after we kissed. Really you aren't very skilled at reading a girl's emotions."

Just then Ron came out of the shower and Hermione went for her turn. As Ron was drying his purple hair vigorously (Hermione had dyed it when he annoyed her earlier that week) he noticed that Harry was looking downcast.

"What's going on, mate?"

"Hermione is being really shirty me and I don't know why."

"Maybe because you haven't asked her out?"

"I did, just now, and she said she would 'consider it.'"

"Harsh. Then again, she always has been blunt. Shot me down like a bird she did."

"You'll be okay if we do go out though, won't you?"

"Yep, its fine."

The two boys sat there doing nothing and eventually fell asleep. When Hermione came back in she laughed silently at the sight before getting ready to go to bed herself.

In the morning all three woke up to a loud banging on the door. Nervously looking around they grabbed their wand and flung open the door. The knocker fell into their room.

"Good morning you three! Excellent day today. I think I'll go and visit my goats, er...I didn't say that. Anyway, you three are really lucky to be in the best room of the house! It's the one I normally reserve for my brother. Really though, be careful. Nasty eavesdroppers around here you know. I suppose I should get back to tending the bar. Nice chatting with all of you."

Aberforth then left the room humming a strange tune to himself. Harry shook his head before closing the door once again. Aberforth had visited them every now and then and always spoke about the most random things.

"Strange fellow he is. More odd then Dumbledore."

Authors Note: Hello there. I rather enjoyed Hermione telling off Harry there. It was fun to write and Aberforth was as well. Now before you go and tell me that Hermione would of said yes to Harry and begun to kiss him lets look at the facts.

Harry snogs Hermiones and then upsets Ron.

Harry ignores Hermione for two days and then traps her in a chair.

Harry ignores what happened between him and Hermione for another week.

Harry does not say sorry and do anything romantic.

Hermione says is cold to him.

I think its is perfectly reasonable! Why are the characters in a bad mood? So am I! Could that be because my two friends utterly ditched me and have not yet bothered to talk to me? Yes it is! Stupid friends with all their lies and annoyance. I am very angry but don't let that bother you.

Desipoplover13: Yes, not much to say. I really do like this chapter though. It is funny how Cho goes for younger men. It amuses me to no end.

Funness: An only child, that sounds so, blissful. Sigh. I have four siblings! Three older sisters and a younger brother! We always get along, note the sarcasm. Anyways hope you have fun in High School. I am a nerveous wreck waiting for mine to start. You might get angry, you might not. I can't read your mind!

Jedi Alanna: Yeah, I have a whole problem with spelling thestrals and that is what lead to me choosing Desipoplover13 as my beta. I switched point of views earilier to see if it work but it didn't so I switched back. I LOVE TAMORA PIERCE AS WELL!!! My favorite herione is Diane not Allanna though. Aly is pretty cool as well but I hate Kel. Her other circle of magic books I didn't like as much.

Ronkid8829: I agree with you, my story is extremly long. I am glad you think it is still good though.

I love to read my reviewer's works, absolutely love to. If they can put up with my writting I should be allowed to help them with theirs. I am sure your new story is great. However, I do NOT give out my e-mail adress to people I met on the internet due to the fact that my mother is a little paroniod. Frankly I agree with her. If you really want me to read the story though you can e-mail it to Desipoplover13 asking her to forward it to me. Or post it on a site that allows orginal fiction might) and give me the URL. I hope you understand.

SiriusRulx14: Yeah! You ar eback. I figured you like Sirius from my magical talents of mind reading. Yes, I lnow I'm great. Long reviews are good but I understand you can't always read them. Thanks for reviewing and I will update as soon as I can.

The Shadows: I was never fond of Draco myself, I like villians butnot ones that are sissys. I am glad you liked Draco's description, thought of you when I wrote it. I am not sure wether or not I am going to use Mafalda again, she is intresting but mainly I picked her because Draco wasn't going to be strutting by Dean Thomas anytime soon.

Yes rumors. Rumors can have drastic effect and the use for the one Draco and Mafalda were using is because people woill want to know why Harry suddenly disappeared from school. It was eiether Snape back talking him or a threat about the weapon. I decided to bring forgotten characters into this.

Thank you so much for reviewing and I like your little, "Until the sun sets upon a broken world" thing. Its odd, but cool.

XBlackMoony-y: Thankyou for taking the time to review my story, it is much appericated. Not to metion you stuck to reviewing my story and not going on about yours. Thats a releif.

Anyways you will find that all my chapters are alittle short. Its bad, I know, buts its how I wrote. They actually extend a little once I get a beta reader.

Yes, many people commented that they thought Harry was too happy. He is moody but because hes moody his moods shift a lot.

I am very glad the title intrigued you, if your reading this you probably know why its called that.
