"Good morning Hermy!" Fred greeted Hermione in the common room.

Hermione groaned. Not again she thought, why was Fred all of a sudden bent on aggravating her?

"Is that how dear little Hermione greets me this morning? No Good morning Fred! Or.Wonderful day Fred, or perhaps the ever so popular My life is not complete without you Fred?"

"You know for being the oldest student in Hogwarts you sure are the most immature!" Hermione shot back.

Fred was taken slightly aback. It was not his fought that the ministry issued that new stupid law about Joke Shops. If only they came up with it a year before! But noooooo oh noo, they couldn't let the Weasly twins be successful could they? Well, he thought at least Lee stood back. It was true. Since Lee didn't take Potions on his supposedly last year at Hogwarts he asked Dumbledore if he could stay an extra year with Fred and Goerge. Lee was planning to go into the shop business with the twins.

Hermione glad that Fred's mouth was closed for once made her way into the Great Hall. She glanced over at the Griffendor table, and she saw her two friends.

"Hello Ron, hello Harry!" she chimed.

Ron smiled at her, his harsh feeling for Fred the day before died down a little. "Hello Hermy!" he said

Hermione glared at him

"Er...sorry, Hermione" Ron quickly tried to make up for his mistake.

Harry on the other hand looked puzzled.

"Is everything alright Harry?" Hermione questioned. "Did you have another dream?" she said a bit more quietly.

Harry nodded.

"Yea, a weird one too." Harry whispered.

There was a pause. Hermione and Ron looked at each other, silently asking the other one what to do.

"Well,er...mate....do you want to tell us?" Ron said.

Harry's mind froze. He still had not told the others about the prophecy. Well, he thought it is now or never.

"Listen you guys, you know last year, when you were in the hospital wing, I had a talk with Dumbledore right?"

The two friends nodded.

"Well he told me that of the prophecy."

"But Harry the orb thingie...didn't it break?" Ron sputtered out.

"Yes but that was just a recording. Anyway to make it short, there is a person that Voldermort considers his equal, and one cannot survive while the other lives. That person was born at the end of July, and his parents defeated Voldermort three times."

Ron and Hermione's jaw dropped.

"Harry ... that means...that means that ...that the person that ...You-know who considers to be his equal or what not....that's....." Ron tried to get out the words he was thinking into one sentace. Obviously that didn't work out too well.

"Yes Ron, it's me. But there was another boy..who was born at the end of July and his parents defeated Voldermort three times too..." Harry started out.

"Neville. Neville Longbottom." Hermione finished for him.

Harry looked at her. She stared back at him she seemed to understand completely. Sometimes that drove Harry mad. Right now he was happy to be saved of explaining.

"NEVILLE? "Ron shouted

"Shh Ron! Do you want the whole bloody school to know?!" Hermione said. She was now looking at all the student who had turned to stare at Ron.

"Sorry, but that means that you might not be the one Harry! I know that's bad for Nevile, but we can help him! Poor bloke he'll need loads of help but...Harry why are you looking gloom?" Ron asked.

"Ron, I am the one. Voldermort considers ME his equal, not Neville." Harry said. "Anyways in my dream I dreamt that it WAS Nelville though. He was fighting Voldermort and ....well....Neville died. And then Voldermort started laughing. He wouldn't stop laughing! Then I ...I woke up ." Harry look very disturbed right now, he was waiting for his friends to burst out laughing or tell him he was insane.

But Ron nor Hermione did neither of those things. They looked at Harry and both nodded as if stating that understood.

"Harry, I think you might be feeling remorse for it NOT being Neville. It being the one that is mentioned in the prophecy I mean." Hermione whispered.

Harry nodded. Usally he would have felt that Hermione was calling him a liar. But he didn't feel like fighting today.

Later after classes Hermione headed outside for some fresh air.

"Hermy! Darling! My love! There you are!" Fred Weasly shouted out to Hermione.

Hermione not in the mood for an argument simply replied..

"How are you George?"

Fred not expecting this simi-pleasant greeting recovered quickly.

"Abslutley spiffing, but the name id Fred actually. Pleased to meet you." Fred said.

Hermione knew that it was Fred. Fred was the only one of the twins that was stalking her..so far. Besides she could now vaguely tell the difference between Fred and George. Fred was a bit tanner than Fred now and a bit taller.

"Oh sorry Fred." Hermione said, brushing her hair out of her face.

Fred looked at Hermione. Her hair though it could get a little bushy on somedays, changed, it was now smoother and a little waver now that she grew it out. And since she took a vacation to Spain last summer was a little tanner also. Fred relized with a start that she was not hard on the eyes.

"Not bad..not bad at all." He mumbled.

"What's that?" Hermione questioned.

"No problem love! People mistake me for my twin all the time. Although he is less handsome than me, not as smart as me, nor not as funy as me." Fred rambled.

"Okay Fred I get the point." Hermione snapped. This was no time to joke. She was still a little worried about Harry. Ever since Sirius died, well he hasn't been the same.

"Yes. Well I shall see you around I guess." Said Fred. He was still surprised of his sudden attraction to her. "Let me know if you want any fruity faurts?"

"Er....yea....sure Fred, whatever." Hermione replied. Was Fred blushing? More importantly, was she?

So please review!
