In A Whole New Light
Hermione walked happily with Harry, Ron, and Ginny. She noticed that the twins were acting very strange, towards her in particular. Once they reached the Great Hall, George and Fred took their seats, which happened to be directly across from Hermione.
The younger students were sorted, Dumbledore made an announcement.
"Welcome students, to another year to Hogwarts! I have just one announcement to make and that is that we will be having a Ball!" An excited murmur broke out among the students and Dumbledore signaled them for silence. "It will be a grand extravaganza held on December 31 until midnight. You may be wondering why I am making this announcement so early. The staff has decided to tell you now to prepare early, so we have nothing to fear. Now let the Feast begin!" spoke Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling.
The twins smiled mischievously and helped themselves to steak, chicken, and potatoes.
"So Hermione," started Fred, "How was your summer? Everyone missed you at the Burrow." Hermione blushed.
"It was fine except for one thing. And that was when Viktor broke up with me," sighed Hermione. "I knew he would anyway, he can't handle long distance relationships."
"So George…Fred…how is the joke shop idea going?" asked Harry. He obviously didn't want to touch on a touchy subject for Hermione.
Now it was George's turn to impress Hermione. "It was splendid, Harry. Fred and I are simply rolling in galleons." Fred forced a smile and glared at George. Ron watched the twins carefully, something was wrong with them.
"Well, well, well! Look at what we have here," drawled a voice from behind them, which turned out to be Malfoy.
"The Potty, the Muggle-lovers, and the Mud- WOAH!" Malfoy turned to Hermione, shocked. Hermione just glared at him hard and said, "Get out of here, Malfoy! No one wants you here anyway."
Everyone around Hermione was particularly stunned. The only time she had talked to Malfoy in that tone was when she slapped him for insulting Hagrid. Malfoy just turned on his heel, towards the Slytherin table.
The Feast was over and the students were departing from their tables. Fred waited for George and walked together towards the Common Room.
Hermione walked with Harry and Ginny. Ron insisted that he stayed behind for something, but he knew. He knew that the twins were up to something and he wouldn't let them get away with it.
