Hellooo! I'm back! I'm eating a banana; I'm listening to Weird Al Yankovic bought it on ebay and I'm watching my dad watch Kill Bill II! I'm all set to write some harry potter! Whoohar! (Note to readers: to understand "Whoohar!" watch home on the range.)

:o)

The great hall was not empty but close to it. Two or three Ravenclaw sat having breakfast. The Hufflepuff table was completely empty. Over on the Slytherin table six first years were talking in a huddle. The Gryffindor table had one occupant. Hermione sat engrossed in her book. In front of her sat an untouched bowl of cereal.

"Hey Hermione." Harry (p) waved cheerfully.

The four students sat around Hermione. Lydia sat on the left of her and Harry (p) sat on her right. Ron sat opposite and Harry sat on the right.

"What you reading?" asked Lydia grabbing some toast.

Hermione lifted the cover of her book. Ice Station.

"That's a brilliant book. What part you on?" asked Lydia

"The SAS have arrived. They are going to kill Book."

"What kind of book is that?" Asked his mouth half full of food.

"It's a military one. Really good." Harry answered,

"Have you read the second?" asked Harry (p)

"Yeah. That's good. I love mother!" Lydia buttered her toast.

"What about the third?"

"No, I have it at home but I haven't read it."

"Shame. It rocks."

"I'm kind of being left out of this conversation." Ron said grabbing another piece of toast.

"Poor baby." Smiled Hermione

"Shut it." Ron playfully shoved Hermione.

Harry, Harry (p) and Lydia all exchanged glances. They muffled their laughs as Hermione and Ron continued flirting. Hermione looked up for a second and noticed their raised eyebrows. She blushed red and quickly coughed.

"So where's Jess and Didi?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Let me see. It's 10am so Jess won't be up for about another 3 hours?" Lydia laughed pretending to think carefully.

"I know some just like that." Harry grinned. "Danny."

"Those two are quite alike." Laughed Harry (p)

"Who Jess and Danny?" Lydia stopped buttering her toast. "Yeah I guess so."

"You guess so? Dude they are so totally alike." Harry smiled.

"We should so set them up!" laughed Hermione "We could have a huge party!"

"Yes! And maybe we could you know attached so people some how."

"That would be great! We could fix it so Danny and Jess ended up together!

As the girls continued their plans the three lads drifted off into daydreams.

Harry (p): Do you reckon they'll allow younger years? Like Ginny's? Stop it man! She's you best mates little sister for god's sake! But she is so old for her age and oh. I have to talk to Ron.

Harry: Attached somehow? Handcuffs maybe? I wouldn't mind being handcuffed to Lydia for a few hours!

Ron: I wonder if there is any toast left.

The three lads jumped out of their dreams when Professor Ford tapped Hermione on the shoulder.

"I was wondering. It's going to be a long week of exams after Christmas so maybe you would like to have a party? Of course you could invite who you wanted." He spoke in a slightly Welsh accent. "You could have whatever themes or ideas you wanted just make sure their not dirty." With the last comment he looked at Harry. "Anyway I was wondering if you would organise it Hermione?"

"Yes!" Hermione cried happily.

"Good, just hand in the ideas to me tomorrow okay?" Professor Ford waved and walked off. "See you Sunday!"

This is going to be great! Jess will get Danny and she'll be all over that muggle boy at last. Lydia smiled to herself. Unknown to her, Malfoy was sat at his table brooding silently to himself.

A little party eh? I guess I'll be gate crashing that! I'm not going to let some new boy ruin my plans.
