Last chapter: They got so drunk that Harry couldn't even say Malfoy! "Hazza" and "Lulu" slept in Draco's room, "Ginny" and "Blaisey" slept in Hermione's room. And Hermione and Draco slept on the sofa. All three couples (secret or not) had fun much! Then Draco, Harry, Blaise and Hermione set off for their detention because of the fight with Ron, Dean and Seamus. (This all happened a long time ago – the fight I mean)

"A sock?" Draco inquired,

"Yeah it was pink, with little black stars on it on of them saner socks" Harry replied,

"Trainer socks Harry, trainer socks" Hermione said, there was something she was looking at on the floor,

"Well, unless Draco wears pink trainer socks it looks suspiciously like one of yours" Harry replied,

"Really?" Hermione squeaked,

"Yes"

"OH" Draco's eyes turned into saucers as he spoke, "Hermione! You took your socks off whilst we were doing our homework"

"Uhmmm, YEAH! I remember" Draco and Hermione exchanged a quick nervous glance,

"Are you sure?" Harry said giving them suspicious looks,

"Yep, come on Harry. We'd tell you if it was something else, wouldn't we?" Hermione said nodding her head, "I've been your best friend for years!"

"I don't know" Blaise voiced, "You guys are so nervy and twitchy"

"Yeah, well, the war you know? It gets people like that" Draco said, "Anyway I've been your friend since we were knee high!"

"Yeah, sorry mate" Blaise said clapping Draco on the back,

"Same here" Harry shook his head, "Was just weird"

"I know, but god! Draco and me? We would tell you" Draco nodded and Harry and Blaise grinned,

"So, there's a chance of you guys getting together?"

"Hell no!" Hermione said laughing,

"No, just friends for me and Herm. I prefer the mean girls!" The group laughed,

"Come on! Or we'll be late for Snape!" Harry said turning down the corridor to the dungeons.

The group hurried on. All too soon they reached the big black door to the dungeon. Draco pushed it open and Blaise and Harry followed him in. Hermione took a deep breath and walked in, bracing herself for ten hours of detention.

"Good to see you are all here" Snape barked, "I will be down the corridor, marking essays for most of the days, I will be able to hear any sounds you make" He gave Harry, Blaise, Draco, Dean, Seamus, Ron and Hermione death glares, "I wish you all to sit at a desk now" They all scrabbled for desks. Hermione sat on her own at the back and thrust her bag down on the table, "Now you are all seated I will leave you. I will, I repeat will, be able to hear every word you illicit pupils say and will be around every hour or two to see what is happening" He gave them all their second or third, for some, death glare and stalked out his black cloak billowing behind him as it so often did.

"Well, that's just great" Draco said,

"He can hear us!" Harry said, he spat he out like it was a glass shaving he'd swallowed by accident,

"He can't" Blaise said, "He says that all the time, it's a well known fact in the slytherin common room that he can't"

"Right" Hermione muttered, "Great"

A long silence followed,

"Why is everyone staring at me?" Hermione asked, looking at the six pairs of eyes that were on her,

"I dunno" Ron said,

"You're the best to look at," Dean said with a wink, Hermione put her fingers in her mouth pretending to be sick, "What?" He asked,

"You make me sick that's what!" Hermione answered

"I didn't the other day" Dean retorted

"Yeah, the other day is a LONG time ago!" Hermione stretched out the long and pretty much shouted it,

"Be like than" said Dean stubbornly,

"She's just a fucking dick tease Dean" Seamus said,

"She is not a dick tease!" Draco said defensively,

"Oh sure, playing around with Dean and then she probably fuckedyou the same day!" Seamus spat at Draco

"To hell I did!" Hermione said, "I'm not some slut!"She shouted at him

"You could've fooled me!" Seamus shouted back,

"Well then you're obviously just blind, I'm not a dick tease or a slut!"

"You might as well work at the Playwizard mansion," Ron said,

"You keep telling yourself that Ron, but don't forget you used to like me!"

"I used to like you" He said, "A LONG time ago" He mimicked her,

"That's bullshit Ron and you know it!" Hermione spat at him,

"It isn't. I see your true colours now" He glared at her, "You're a dick tease and a slut" Hermione turned her face away. She took a breath and walked over to the window. It had been magically charmed to show the lake. It wasn't the lake at the moment though. It had no people surrounding it and looked bare. All you could see was the water rippling with the giant squids movements. Every now and again the end of a tentacle would pop up, making little circular ripple wave out. The circular rolls that had once surrounded the tentacle tip hit the edge of the lake. This happened every now and again.

All the groups were talking, except Hermione who was still standing at the window; she'd now rested her hands on the sill. She had been stood there for at least ten minutes when a peculiar ringing sound was heard from the back of the classroom.

"My phone!" Hermione called and bolted over to her bag, she'd asked Dumbledore in her third year how to put a charm and a mobile phone. He told her one but said she was only to use it on her mobile, he obviously understood she wanted to keep in contact with the muggle world. He also explained not to pass the charm on, as only a few electrical items would work in Hogwarts. About the grand total of five, therefore he could only let one pupil have the honour. She had blushed so much when he told her she was possibly the best pupil he'd ever seen come to this school. She had had the charm on since her third year. And hadn't managed to let it slip once.
"Hermione?"

"It's me." She breathed, "Is that who I think it is?"

"Depends who you think it is"

"BLACK!" She shrieked, "Oh my God, it's been so long! I wondered when you'd ring me. How is it back there?"

"It's awesome. There are loads going on. I went over to your house the other day."

"My house! Why the fuck did you go there?"

"I went to ask your father if you were coming back for Christmas"

"Did you want to see me or something?"

"Yeah, we've all missed you loads. It's weird not seeing you hanging around, I wanted to take you clothes shopping with Oaky"

"Oaky? But he's so gay! And he always makes me buy smutty stuff"

"Not always. And so what if he's gay? It just means he's a better shopper. It's hilarious watching you guys walking around"

"Yeah hilarious for you! Clothes shopping with Oaky is like clothes shopping with the world gay leader!"

"Yes, but he's good at it. I've got some pretty good stuff as well"

"Is it strong?" Hermione questioned Black,

"Yes. It's some of the strongest skunk I've ever smoked"

"Really? Sounds good! You got anything else?"

"Yes, loads. I've got loads of shipments coming in from Belgium and Amsterdam at the start of December"

"So that's why you want me to come?"

"Yes!" Black replied, "I also want to see you and go clothes shopping"

"Clothes shopping and your stuff! That's all you ever talk about" Black scoffed at this remark,

"On the contrary Hermione. We talk about plenty of stuff and you know it!"

"I know I do. An argument would have been fun though"

"Indeed. Are you coming then?" Hermione walked over to the window and stared out,

"Yeah, I'll come. Can I crash at yours though?"

"You can, but for the first few days I've got other visitors so could you stay at your dad's, or Oaky's?"

"Yeah, I'll ask Oaky. He'll probably be busy though and I don't think I could face my house"

"Face it for me if Oaky can't have you Hermione!"

"Alright." There was a pause,

"How is it over at your school then?"

"It's okay. I'm in an all day detention though but the teachers gone out of the room though"

"I remember school"

"You do?"

"Well before I got expelled," He laughed, "It was such a pain in the arse"

"Yeah, I bet"

"Why you in detention then babe?"

"Me and some friends had a fight with some old friends" She giggled, "Their all listening in, there is Harry, you know about him and Ron you also know about him. Then there is Dean and Seamus you don't know about them, and Draco and Blaise, nor do you know about them."

"Who was the fight between then?"

"Me, Harry, Draco and Blaise against Ron, Seamus and Dean"

"Oh and how did this start? I thought you were friends with Ron"

"Yeah, well I WAS friends with him before he called me a dick tease" She shouted dick tease to piss him off, "And said I was a slut" She also shouted slut,

"He called you them?"

"Just now."

"So it wasn't about that?"

"No, me and Ron started having an argument. Then it kind of broke out into a fight. I left the boys to it and stalked out of the hall and then bumped into Professor Snape. Who had all the boys in tow and he gave me one too. So we're all here for another 9 hours."

"Nine hours?" Black said incredulously,

"They have different rules here. It's strict"

"Oh I get you." Black sighed, "I really should go"

"Okay then"

"Promise me you'll mail Oaky or your Dad"

"I promise Black, promise"

"Okay then. I miss you. Mail me or ring me sometime soon"

"I will. Next time there's a weekend off I'll try and visit you"

"That would be awesome. Make sure you ring though because of-"

"Business and such. Yeah I know, talk soon Black"

"Bye"

"Bye bye" Hermione said. She heard him take the phone from his ear. She looked at the screen and saw a little envelope flashing at the top.
She opened the text message and read,

Hermi itz o here black sed u mite come down 4 xmas that wuld b awesum hope 2 c u then don't 4get my prezzie i alredy got u 1 ull luv it loadsa love oaky xxxxx.

"Awwww, that's cute" She pressed onto reply, and started to press the digits on the keypad,

Oaky itz h here I shuld b comin down culd I bunk at urs 4 da 1st 3 days black iz alredy avin visitas tb loadsa love hermi xxxxxx

She waited for it to send then pressed back with her thumb and locked the phone. It was running out of batteries so she tapped her wand to it giving it magical energy.

"And who the hell was that?" Blaise asked,

"It was Black."

"Who's Black?" Draco asked Hermione,

"A friend"

"Right. What did you promise him?"

"To mail Oaky or my Dad" She grinned, "I just texted Oaky so I'm waiting for his reply"

"What did he send you?" Seamus asked,

Hermione unlocked the phone in her pocket and showed him the text,

"Oh right." Seamus said after reading it. Hermione quickly went off the text. She knew Seamus had muggle parents so probably had a mobile phone at home.

"What is that?" Blaise asked,

"A mobile phone. Muggles use them to talk to each other when they can't see each other"

"Snape's coming!" Draco said quietly and the group resumed their first seats. Hermione had just sat down when Snape walked in.

Okay there is a few more thank yous needed:

Griffen: When you reviewed chapter two you were upset because I said Hermione had fallen into the wrong crowd. I actually meant as in all the drug users she'd fallen in with, not Goths. Sorry if it didn't seem this way but that's honestly what I meant. I'm a Goth myself, so Mary mother of Jesus, I wouldn't really insult them. I;m not a stereotype.

LilChocolateAngl: Thanks for reviewing . Updating now.

Shane: Okay, I'll take your thoughts into account.

Athena884: Oh, I'm glad you read all 22! Must've taken you ageeees. I'm trying to keep up the good work.

DracoScrewer: Okay, well you have found out most about the sock. But I like socks so you never know? It will crop up later on.

Red death555: Thanks so much for reviewing! Hope you like my story.

So everyone, a review given is a review loved! Thanks to ALLLL my reviewers. Sorry if I forgot the ones who reviewed other chapters, I know I've probably forgotten some but this doesn't mean you're not loved.

CHECK OUT: Griffen's Graveyard Goth. I know I tell you but it's awesome and you all have to read it because it's very good. AND red death555 's Of Much Stuff because that's very very good too.
