"Emma!"

"Hey Hermione" Harry said. He was sitting in front of the fireplace in the common room. Hermione was coming down from the girl's dorm.

"Hey Harry" She replied.

She came over and sat next to him on the couch.

"So you excited for the talent show tomorrow? You have been practicing that spell for so long…think you are gonna be able to turn me into a dragon?"Hermione said.

Harry opened his mouth to say something but Hermione cut him off.

"AND turn me back?" Harry gave an unsure face and smiled.

Hermione laughed.

"I hope so, I mean, I don't really want a dragon as a friend. No offense" Harry said playfully.

"You" Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Well, I'm going to bed Harry. I'll see you in the morning"

Harry got up and stood in front of her with a big smile and with a hand held out to help her up. Hermione smiled.

She reached up to grab Harry's hand. He caught a glimpse of her arm under her long sleeves.

"Whoa, Hermione, where did you get that?"

"Get what" She asked.

Still holding her hand, Harry slid her sleeve up her arm and pointed out a big bruise.

Hermione suddenly panicked.

"Oh, wow, I guess I must have gotten ityesterday."

"You were with Ron the whole day weren't you?" He asked.

"Well, I guess, I don't know Harry, I'm going to bed!" Hermione yelled and ran up the stairs.

I didn't think she would have that reaction to that. I wonder how she got that?" Harry thought to himself.

-Morning-

"Morning Hermione" Harry said. Hermione was sitting down at the table. Harry and Ron were already eating breakfast. They couldn't wait.

"Oh. Morning Harry" She replied as she sat her books down.

"Do you want a piece of my muffin? I got the last one so there won't be anymore. It's blueberry, you're favorite." Harry asked her.

Hermione looked at Ron then back at Harry.

"Um, no thank you Harry. I think I'm just gonna grab a lemon poppy seed muffin and go. I have a lot of studying to do"

She grabbed a muffin and walked off.

Harry watched her go. Then looked at Ron. Looking like he was oblivious to the whole thing.

"So Ron"

Ron looked up from his plate with a questioned face and a mouth full of food.

"Do you think something is wrong with Hermione? It's seems to me that she has been acting a bit different." Harry answered.

Ron swallowed his food.

"How so?" Ron asked.

"Well…last night for example. I saw she had a big bruise on her arm and when I asked her how she got it she got all mad at me"

"Bloody hell, a big bruise? You would never think Hermione would get hurt. All she does is study or read or…study" Ron started eating right after he said his words.

"Yea" Harry said with a confused face.

Ron looked back up.

"So, uh, Hermione and I are going go to that old bridge today. Promise we'll be back before the talent show mate."

"Let's hope . Who am I gonna turn a dragon into if you don't come back?" Harry said.

"Malfoy?"

Harry shrugged and started eating again

------

It's time for the talent show! I can't wait any longer! Where are Ron and Hermione?? Harry was pacing back and forth.

"Mr. Potter we can't wait any longer, you're going to have to find someone else." Professor McGonagall hastily said.

Harry sighed and walked out on the stage.
