Chapter Eight
A/N: Hey guys, I'm bored out of my mind, and have had a huge writers block for a long time. Wow, that was a short authors' note, sorry. Um, I can't believe all of the reviews I've gotten, it's really incredible. Anyway, if you are coming back, to recap what just happened, Hermione had sex, and now, she has to find Neville's diary, er, Journal.
Hermione quickly began throwing things all over the boys dormitory, although she left Neville's bed untouched throughout the ravaging. To tell the truth, it quite resembled how the room had looked in second year, when Ginny had been looking for Tom Riddles diary. She finally came to the bed that had once belonged to Neville, and realized that the boys had lain pictures of Neville, and little trinkets that belonged to Neville, all over his bed. She smiled down kindly at a picture of all her and her friends, Neville in the middle, smiling happily.
"What happened to you," she said aloud, looking at this picture, "why did you do this? What made you so unhappy?"
She walked to the nightstand that stood beside his bed, and whispered a revealing spell, hoping that inside the drawer he had spelled his book, but sadly when she opened the drawer, it was empty. She quickly looked for the red dragon-hide book in the bookshelves, but none could be seen, she even looked through the other boy's trunks in case one of them had already discovered it. After nearly destroying the room, she began to run out of ideas, and she knew that the boys were downstairs talking in the common room.
In a sick twist of fate, she heard the door begin to creak open, she looked around the room, whispered another spell to put everything in its place, then dived under Neville's bed. In walked Dean Thomas, towel wrapped around his waist, and hair wet from a recent shower. He walked over to his bed, and then before her eyes, he dropped the towel, and picked up his boxers. She let out a small giggle, and Dean looked around alarmed that a girl was in his room. Seeing no one, he resumed his changing process.
Hermione turned away, knowing that the sight of him naked was enough to make her burst out laughing. It wasn't that he was ugly, it was just, in her mind's eye he was no comparison to George. She shivered against the cold stone floor, and tried to quietly roll out from under the bed, her struggle was pointless, and it amounted to nothing. When she heard the door click shut she sighed in relief, and moved her arm above her head. As she began to drag herself out from under the bed, her arm caught on a loose stone. She struggled to pull it loose and as soon as it did, she noticed Neville's journal, lying safely in a little compartment Neville had discovered.
"Hey Harry," Hermione heard Ron's voice from outside the Dormitory door, "do you think that Hermione fancies George? I mean, really fancies him."
She had just wiggled out from under the bed when she heard this, and was quite annoyed with the prospect of having to hide back under the bad so she would not be seen. In the last second before Harry and Ron entered the room Hermione dashed across the room, grabbed Harry's invisibility cloak, and draped it around her shoulders.
"I think she might," Harry said softly.
"I don't thinks it's fair, you know, she must be thick if she doesn't know how I feel," Ron stated simply.
"Ron, no offense, but I think that it's your fault she doesn't know, and besides, last year, after Krum broke up with her, you had your chance. You just didn't take it, don't blame Hermione. Besides, I think that Lavender fancies you."
Hermione pursed her lips, Harry was right, it was Ron's fault, but she was happy now. She tiptoed over to the door and opened it, walked into the stairwell, and closed it behind her, then made a mad dash to her bedroom, where she carefully lay the journal upon her bed.
Back in the boy's dorms however, Ron and Harry were eyeing the doorway suspiciously, and Harry was rifling through his things. Ron walked over to the door and stuck his head into the hall suspiciously. Upon seeing nothing he turned around and plopped down on his bed.
"Hey Ron," Harry said with a look of disbelief on his face, "my invisibility cloak is gone."
In Hermione's room, she sat on the bed and struggled in vain to unlock the journal. She wasn't surprised that Neville had locked it, if she had roomed with nosy people like Seamus and Dean, she would have hidden and locked it as well, but no spell she tried would open it.
Finally she groaned in frustration and threw the book down on her bed, there had to be some way to open it, if not with a spell, then with a key. She ran her hands over the silver necklace that hung around her neck, the one she had found in the library. Then it hit her, she scrambled to the foot of her bed, getting her leg caught in her golden sheets, and toppling over the edge with the book in hand. Holding it in front of her face she ripped the necklace from her neck and held it up to the book, then slipped it into a clasp and smiled when she heard the click of the lock opening.
"C'mon Fred," George said in the common room, throwing bits of candy at his brother, "all we have to do, is sneak a few into Snape's soup at lunch, and he'll puff right up!"
"I like the idea, it's just, how the hell are we supposed to get them in the soup without anyone noticing?"
"That is where." both twins looked up at Hermione's distraught form, and George discontinued his sentence.
"I don't think Neville killed himself, or, well, I don't think he meant to," she said, her hands shaking violently.
"What do you mean," George asked rushing to her side, just in time to catch her as she fell in a dead faint.
A/N: Okay, I bet you all have your suspicions about what really happened, and a million dollars for the one who guesses it! Okay, to all my reviewers, there are a lot, and to all of you, much adoration and hugs! I KNOW THAT WAS SHORT! Also, I neglected any romance, but at least I updated, I just want to see if you guys can figure out what is going to happen.
Purple Chicken: Well, I suppose I didn't upload fast, or make it a long chapter, oops, *giggles nervously. I mean, I really didn't enjoy killing Neville, but it was necessary to the story. He seemed like the character to die because he's just so clumsy he's loveable.
Lizzie-Star08: I know what you mean, there isn't enough time in the day. I rarely have time to even see if my favorite stories have been updated, plus I have to keep my grades up or my parents will go ballistic.
ANN: I can't wait until you post your story! Tell me when you do, I'll gladly read it and tell my friends about it. I really love it when people say they can understand what the characters went through, that means at least I'm being understood!
Drue: Oops, I guess I kind of left that unanswered, so, yes, I suppose he forgave Fred already, mostly because I think deep down he must realize something is going on.
Mikoyru Kaniu: Yes, they did it, and I was horrible at writing it, lol! Oh well, it's over and done with, but they still haven't expressed the big L word yet.
Plastic: Yes, Fred is scary, in the same way I imagine that ______ was scary. HEHEHE, so many people could fit in that blank.
fang-gurlie: Yeah, I tend to get distracted by big ideas that pop into my head, most of them don't fit in with the plot, lol.
Gwen Potter: Yeah, I guess it was, and now, they are going to have to deal with other things, Hermione's feelings confusing her maybe...maybe!
Trinity: LOL, nothing can stop me, well, I suppose if my computer exploded I would have to postpone updating until I found another source of uploading.but hey, I luv writing!
Herbie: Yeah, sometimes, I just want to write Neville back into the story, sitting in the common room with the guys and then it hits me, oh yeah, he's gone. But, if you've noticed he hasn't come back as a ghost.
Snapes Potions Mistress: I love bad boy Malfoy (and come on ladies, who doesn't want to do naughty things to him, lol), but Fred is trying to regain trust, er, I mean, dealing with it well (cough cough, hint hint)
Alli-Baby: Yes, Malfoy has a larger part to play.
SycoCallie: HEHE, I made sure to put you in, I mean, you seems to review a ton, and I'd be a total ditz not to thank you! Sorry that this chapter was short, not that I'm making excuses, but I have no time to do anything. I have break next week, so maybe I'll get more done then.
Sneezy Mouse: LOL, hopefully no one wants to beam me with a large metal object since this chapter is short, and I've taken a new direction with the plot.
MFCA: Thanks, I'm glad you thought it seemed real, I was worried about ppl thinking it seemed pointless.
Jana: That's how I came across G/Hr ships, and I luv them dearly!
Malfoychic: You think ppl are popping now, just wait, lol. Also, I made them look differently because I didn't want Hermione to get them confused, I know some people wanted her to get them mixed up and end up necking with Fred instead of George but that's not how I wanted the beginning to work out.
Nolaiel the Half-Elven: Thanks.
Lidehtium: lol, thanks. I hope you keep reviewing, plus, I love your name! Thanks again.
Young Golden Unicorn: Well, I can't really say why Fred is messed in the head, but let me say, that it scared the pants off of my friend, lol. Other then that, the twins are getting back to their usual selves, note them planning a prank for Snape. George is likely to embarrass Hermione in a public place soon, and she will adore him for it.
Clara Lou: I still admire your writing, I wouldn't even have written this had I not read your story. I was anti-Hermione/George until I read it. I hope you update, because, well, I still love it, lol.
Absimilis: We are just assuming that Filch was way off in another part of the castle, erm, maybe catching someone else.
CuTeLiLpRiNcEsS: Just to restate what I said before, lol, Fred is masking his emotions very, VERY well. Thanks for reviewing!
Anastasia: Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Plus, since you usually don't read these stories, it's comforting to know it appeals to others.
Angela Malfoy: Thanks a ton! It's cool you like it, but there are a ton of other Hr/F/Gr fics out there that are just as good, or better then this one.
Violet Thunder: I never said he was evil exactly, erm, well, I bet that confused you, but you'll understand in the end.
Storm Bringer: Everyone seems to be asking what is up with Fred, and I've revealed the most I can. But thanks for reviewing, and keep reading it! Thanks!
Person: Thanks, I still go all shivery when someone writes "talent" so thanks a lot! (
Baby Blue: I think you are the first person who has used the term "the bomb" which is totally cool, and makes me feel special, lol!
George: Er, well, I can't say that I rightly know, but, they did, so they did.
Sandra: I luv the twins as well, in fact, I suppose I act like them sometimes! I just wish that more people would write about them! Although the stories that are posted are all incredibly well written.
Spordelia Chase: I cried too, and I wrote it. (giggles) Tragic, sure, but key.
Sweetie: sorry, this chapter was short too. I seem to have a problem writing one that is long, and doesn't wander away from what I'm really trying to write.
CrazyGirl47: Yeah, I am a major Hermione/Draco person, they seem like the perfect odd couple. Neville does seem to be the one everyone thinks about, I mean, he was the big clumsy one, and not many appreciate him for what he is (was, in this story)
PsYcHoKiTkAt: Thanks, I know it was disturbing, a lot have told me that in reviews, but without it, the characters would just seem insane, rather then emotional.
Candyfloss: Good guess, but not really, you're on the right track tho, and thanks for reviewing!
Minisnape: Thanx!
Crazyfriendsfan: Yeah, I've noticed that, but the Hr/F's we have here are always good quality
HogwartsHeadGirl: I can't give hints, but think hard and I'm sure you'll figure it out
SlynN: Oops, sry bout Neville, erm, sorry (ducks under desk)
Magicalstar2006: Yay! Write a story! I love it when people tell me that in some way I just might have helped them think up an idea for a story!
Tuilindo: Thanks! Could you relate to the characters, I mean did you understand what they were going through? It was sad, keep reviewing!
Ashlie: Thanks!
Dwyn Andraste: I would, but then again, I feel bad for all of the characters, I am a nefarious writer.
