Hey ya'll! I'm back, and this time with world's smartest, coolest, most famous 16 year old witch, Hermione! Let's get to the survey, then, shall we?

Up.

Down.

Up.

Down.

It was a blistering day, which was quite uncommon for England. Well, it was not uncommon for it to be hot, but it was uncommon for it to be 95 degrees in June. It also just so happened that the air conditioning had fizzled out the day before---this was not so common. Especially for the Granger's house on #5 Lumen Drive.

Up.

Down.

Hermione lay on the bed, blowing a loose strand of her hair from her ponytail.

Up.

Down.

For most people, this is not a form of amusement, but Hermione was extremely cranky. And she was pondering three current annoyances.

Besides obviously being hot, she could not bring herself to read, which was something very surprising for her. Hermione knew her O.W.L.'s were coming any day now, and she did not want to pick up a book and realize that she hadn't described in complete detail the Vampire Restriction Code of 1658… It would only make waiting even more awful.

She was also upset because she would have liked to be in 12 Grimmuald Place… somewhere she knew she couldn't go for at least a little bit longer, or her family and her Muggle friend Vestia would be upset. Ron was incredibly lucky, getting to stay there all summer.

This was, in fact, her third current annoyance: the fact that Ron flew halfway across England on his broomstick to visit her. But Hermione had been having this problem since third year… she was wonderful friends with both Harry and Ron, but for some reason, she just didn't know if she liked either of them that way. Ron was really cute, but she fought with him all the time. And Harry was oblivious to the world… of course that wasn't his fault, he did have a lot to deal with, and he was so nice to her, but still…

Up… CLANK!

Hermione sputtered as the hair that she had been blowing up and down landed directly in her mouth. She threw a look at the window.

An owl. Her heart stopped.

Oh my word… here it is, my scores. Just go and get them…

But the clanking didn't stop. And Hermione felt her heart start beating again. It was Ron's owl, Pig! She rolled her eyes at the small owl, opened the window, and let him in. She took the letter from his beak and opened it. There were two pieces of paper inside-- one typed, from a computer, and the other written in small, scribble-like handwriting.

Okay, here's what you're supposed to do ...

Copy, (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new E-mail
that
you will send. Change all of the answers so that they apply to You.
Then,
send this to a whole bunch of people you know INCLUDING the person who
sent it to you. The theory is that you learn a lot of little known facts
about your friends and family. It's fun and easy. This is

The BLOW OUT

edition, full of tons of questions, have fun!

Remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you

Er... ok thought Hermione; it is just a chain letter type thing. Hermione quickly glanced over Harry's answers and gave a little laugh at some of his comments. Then she read some of Ron's. She neatly copied the questions and her new answers onto the parchment while she went.

"Well, at least one thing to keep me entertained," she whispered to herself as she began to write.

Full Name? Hermione Jane Granger

Age? 16

Sex? Female

Where do you live? # 5 Lumen Drive, but I love the Burrow, # 12 Grimmuald Place, and Hogwarts!

1. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES? They are white with a brown rim and flowers in the center.

2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Harry- This is a Hermione question? But I do love to read, so I guess I can see where you are coming from…

Ron- You wouldn't hate reading if you did it more often. Maybe you just need to read the right books, I have a great Quidditch book for you, if you ask me, I know exactly where it is in the Library…

Me- I'm currently not reading a book, I'm too nervous for O.W.L's results, and I finished all the ones I got from the last trip to Diagon Alley.

3. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?

Well, my parent's mouse pad is blue. There's no real point in me having a computer as I'm only in a computer-friendly environment two months out of the year.

4. FAVORITE BOARD GAME? I used to love Clue. Haven't played for a while, though.

5. FAVORITE MAGAZINES? The Quibbler, Ron? Next you'll be telling me that Trelawney can predict the future! I'm actually quite partial to National Geographic. Though it's in an entirely different field than what I deal with everyday.

6. LEAST FAVORITE SMELL? Not sure… maybe really hot 'still' air at the moment…

7. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE? Usually, what do I have to do today?

8. FAVORITE COLORS? I like Indigo.

9. LEAST FAVORITE COLORS? I LOATH MAROON. I'm fine with Maroon, but I'm not big on Brown.

10. HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? Well, that would obviously depend on where I am in the house!

11. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME? Considering I'll have children, er, I think Iulia is a great name for a girl… I know someone with that name, and she is quite the person sometimes I wish I could be like. Plus, it is kind of like Hermione; no one can pronounce it, which makes it more fun! 12. WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU? Oh, Harry, I just read you answer! I hope you are doing alright… Most important to me are my friends, family, and grades.

14. DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST? I haven't acquired a driving license yet, but I would probably follow the speed limit. What am I saying? I'll probably never need to drive a car.

15. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? Crookshanks might as well be stuffed, the lazy cat.

16. STORMS COOL or SCARY? Not the team, Ron. Honestly. I actually like storms!

17. WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? BROOM? Car was crossed out because Harry doesn't have a car, and nor do I! I've only ever ridden the school brooms though, so I can't really answer this one.

18. IF YOU COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE? Wow, very tough, I would like to meet all the founders of Hogwarts, and possibly even Harry's parents, they seemed so nice J.

19. FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK? Yes, you are a PREFECT! And if I'm so stupid, then why have you never taken the notes in Professor Binns' class? And why did you almost not pass potions this year? Or any class for that matter? I seem to remember me doing that… Anyway, I don't have a favorite alcoholic drink, sorry!

20. WHAT IS YOUR SIGN & YOUR BIRTHDAY? September 19th-Virgo… the Virgin

Why do I feel like someone is going to comment on this?

21 DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Yes. They have calcium. Which is good for teeth. Welcome to my life as the daughter of dentists.

22. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB WHAT WOULD IT BE? Ron, Harry, think positive! I don't know what I would like to do, I have an idea, but I don't think I'm going to mention it on this.

23. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY COLOR HAIR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I like brown hair, I just wish it wasn't so thick and more curls!

24. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Maybe… I'm not sure yet…

Hermione stopped writing… her suspicions were confirmed true. Ron definitely liked her, liked her. Hermione quickly jotted something down.

25. FAVORITE MOVIE? That is funny, Ron! I've seen a few; I really liked the movie Brian's Song. You should watch sometime. It is quite sad, though. 26. DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? I don't use my pinkies alot, but other than that yes. 27. WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? My book storage. That basically takes up the whole 'under my bed'. And most of my shelves. Don't laugh.

28. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? 13… I'm not superstitions at all J

29. FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH? Quidditch is fun, but I like some Muggle sports as well, even though I'm awful at them. I'll say swimming in case my friend Vestia ever sees this. She's a swimmer. That's a good sport. Not all violence and competition. On that note I should also say soccer in favor of my friend Dean. Which means I should say quidditch also, so the entire wizarding world doesn't get mad at me ether!

30. WHAT IS YOUR SINGLE BIGGEST FEAR? Someone I love dying, or ending up a failure at life… alone.

31. SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU! He is great friend J

32. PERSON MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? I have Neville's address; I'll send it to him. I'm also sending a copy back to Harry and Ron, so they can read my answers.

33. PERSON YOU SENT THIS TO WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? I have faith that Neville can pass this on. 34. FAVORITE TV SHOWS? None. I only have the opportunity to rot my brain in front of a glowing screen two months out of the year, which happens to be during summer when they're showing all the reruns. And I refuse to be one of those pathetic souls who get excited over reruns they've never seen while everyone else knows exactly what's going on.

35. KETCHUP OR MUSTARD? Ketchup. 36. HAMBURGERS OR HOT-DOGS? Hamburgers, I think. I recently read all that was in hot dogs. Then again, hamburger isn't all that nutritious, either. 38. FAVORITE SOFT DRINK? Ha-ha Ron, no it isn't, soft drinks are carbonated, and anyways, I enjoy Vanilla Coke. My parents give me a big stash every school year to keep in my dorm.

39.. THE BEST PLACES YOU HAVE EVER BEEN? I have a really cool house? blushes everywhere I've been was grand. Well, except in a certain room in the Department of Mysteries.

40. BURGER KING OR MACDONALDS? Aw, Ron, your brother tied your toy to a balloon? I like Burger King, but I don't really have time to go to either.

42. DO YOU LIKE TO KEEP BUSY OR RELAX AND WATCH TV? Keep busy! 43. BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE YOU HAVE SEEN? N/A

44. HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR AVON LADY LATELY? No, I don't have one. But my mum has a patient who is one. She's always leaving those awful catalogs in my mum's office. Killing the trees… Maybe I ought to start an S.W.T.P… at least no one can make fun of those letters.

45. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Vanilla!

46. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SUBJECT? Boys! rolls eyes I love all of my classes except for Divination and anything Umbridge might teach. Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Lupin was the most exciting/fun class I've ever had. Professor McGonagall's classes are very orderly, too. I like that.

47. WHO'S YOUR ROLE MODEL? Dang, but I had to correct that apostrophe. Anyone who goes to the trouble of making an internet survey should know basic grammar... 'The makers of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum' Ok Ron, that one was funny. Maybe Professor Dumbledore?

48. Are you left handed or right handed? Right.

49. Are you smart? You got your OWLS?! Oh, my God, that means mine are due any minute…. Ok, next question. And Ron, you are smart, you just need to try.

50. How many personalities do you have? Only one. I'm normal. I question that, Ron.

51. How many piercings do you have? None

52. Tattoos?: None.

53. Can you do a cartwheel? No. And I never will. I have bad memories of the gymnastics class my parents enrolled me in at age six.

54. Do you have bangs? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

55. Do you have contact lenses? No.

56. Do you snore? no.

57. Do you drool in your sleep? NO. Orthodontic surgery takes care of that.

58. Do you lick your envelopes or use a sponge? Sponge. Envelopes taste awful, and with all the germs in your mouth it's probably not at all sanitary.

59. What languages do you know? English, Runes, and some Latin. I also picked up a few French phrases last time I was in France.

60. Do you like onions? Yes. They're quite healthy.

61. Do you like cotton candy? Oh, it is wonderful. Very unhealthy, however; my parents keep me 3 miles from it wherever we go. (Dentists…)

62. What instruments can you play? None. Well, I took violin for some time though.

63. What words do you overuse? "and" and "the" and "I" I say at least one of those per sentence. Me too, I use er and um a lot though.

64. What do you sleep in? My bed?

65. How many pillows do you have? 4.

66. Do you like to dance? At least not with Padma. Aw, Padma is a nice person. I don't mind dancing even though I'm awful at it.

67. Do you like to sing? Yes.

68. How many CDs do you have? Grammar again! Just a few, I never get time to listen to them anyway.

69. How many times have you moved houses? None.

70. Are you ticklish? Yes…

71. Are you shy? Not really.

72. Do you talk to yourself? No

73. What's your favorite outfit? I liked my fourth year dress robes.

74. Do you believe in ghosts?: Yes. Fascinating scientific

phenomenon.

75. What do you do when you're nervous? Recite stuff, and my body shakes/freezes. Ron tells me I get bossy, but I'm sure he is just overacting.

FINAL STUFF!:

What do you think of surveys like this? Good on a hot day!

Now Make up your own question and add it on!

Harry- Craziest thing you've ever done?

Can't tell you. J

Ron- who do you secretly like?

Well, I'm really not sure… I, er, like certain people a lot, but don't know who I LIKE like.

HERMIONE- What is something you are currently worried about?

Hermione quickly filled in her own answer to her own question.

My OWL grades.

She walked over to her parents' computer to make three copies of her survey. She checked the spelling on everything, just in case it should ever fall into the hands of a teacher. As the copier finished she progressed back to her room, now rolling up three different scrolls. Carefully, she wrote Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Neville Longbottom onto the scrolls. She glanced over at Pig, who was happily hooting out the window.

"Pig, could you take these to Harry, Ron, and Neville for me?" She also instructed the owl how to get to Neville's house, as she figured he'd have been to Harry and Ron's quite a few times and would be well experienced in those routes.

She popped open her window and Pig took off, struggling slightly with all of those heavy rolls of letters. Suddenly, a much larger bird hopped into her bedroom. Hermione stared at it for a second, thinking Pig had just hopped back in. But it wasn't. It was a Hogwarts Owl, carrying a carefully labeled letter to Miss Hermione J. Granger. In the upper left hand corner, Hermione read, heart stopping once more…

O.W.L and N.E.W.T Department

Private and Confidential.

With trembling fingers, Hermione took the letter and let the Owl back out the window. Taking a deep breath, she slowly opened her letter…

Review PLEASE!

P.S. Can you sense the different ships lol? Hope that wasn't too long to wait, but I've been busy with finals and everything... next we hit Neville ;)
