Ok, so this story is starting to get a little more dramatic then we planned. So its gonna be a DramaHumourRomance fic. Just thought we'd let all our wonderful reviewers know.

Chapter 4- Want to be Bunkmates, anyone?

When Ron saw Laura and Draco together, he ran as fast as he could. Not sure of where he was going. Harry, Steph and Hermione came out next laughing about something, but suddenly stopped when they saw Laura and Draco.

"I'll go see Ron," Harry said and was off quickly in the direction of the Gryffindor house.

"Laura, come on, we have to get going, unless you are going to stand here and snog HIM all day," Steph said edgily. Laura and Draco broke apart, breathing heavily. Draco stared daggers into Steph.

"OH SHIT!" Laura yelped and ran off.

Steph looked at Hermione, "I wasn't that harsh, was I?" Steph asked feeling horrible that she had yelled at Laura. Hermione smiled sympathetically at Steph.

"Look, what do you have next?" Steph asked Hermione.

"Charms"

"With Flitwick?"

"Yes"

"Ok, me too. Tell Flitwick I am sick and went to the hospital wing," Steph said.

"Look, I know what's going on and I know you need to speak with your friend but I will not lie for you, besides, Flitwick is pretty easy going. I'll just tell him what is really going on. I am sure he will understand. I will also get the homework for you," Hermione retorted.

"Thanks so much, Hermione. You're the best," Steph said with a sigh of relief. They both said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

Steph went straight to the Gryffindor tower, hoping that's where Laura would be, providing she didn't get lost. Surprisingly enough, Steph made it to the Gryffindor tower without taking too many wrong turns. When she reached the portrait of the fat lady, she stood there racking her brains for the password.

"Oh, come on, Lady. You know I am in this house, why can't you let me in?" Steph sighed.

"Lemony Snickets," came a voice from behind Steph. Steph whipped around to find Laura. She had tears streaming down her face and she didn't seem to notice, either that or she didn't care.

"I got here before you?" Steph asked confused.

"Duh….I got lost a few times," Laura bawled. Even though she was upset, she could still make someone else smile.

"Well are you going to go in our not?" The fat lady asked impatiently. Laura and Steph walked into the Gryffindor common room to find Harry and Ron sitting on two of the big, comfy, red chairs. When Ron saw Laura, he took off to his room. Harry went after him, but stopped in front of Steph.

"He is really upset, although I am not quite sure why," Harry sighed, sounding confused.

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist!" Steph giggled.

"A who?" Harry asked.

"Never mind," Steph laughed. Harry looked at Steph oddly before turning around and heading up to his dorm. Steph turned back to Laura.

"Are you two going out yet?" Steph asked angrily. Laura just cried harder.

"I never wanted it to be this way," Laura bawled, "Of course, I like him, but it did not turn out the way I had hoped. I wanted him to ask me to a dance or something, then we would go together and while we were there, he would sweep me off my feet and take me away to some enchanted broom closet."

Steph cocked an eyebrow, "Broom closet?" she asked, trying to hide her grin.

"Yes, broom closet," Laura sniffed, trying very hard not to grin.

"You know you hurt Ron, right?" Steph asked changing her tone back to an annoyed one.

"Yeah. I don't know why he is so upset. I mean, I didn't do anything to him, did I?" Laura asked, very confused.

Steph threw her arms up in the air, "AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHY HE'S UPSET?! IT'S OBVIOUS THE GUY LIKES YOU, BUT IS WAY TO SHY TO SAY ANYTHING!" Steph shouted a little louder then she intended.

"You're not the only one," came a quiet, shy voice from somewhere in the far corner. Steph turned around to see Ginny walking towards them.

"Hey Ginny, I'm glad I am not the only one," Steph smiled, happy to know that someone else wasn't totally blind.

"Wait," Steph paused, "Shouldn't you be in class?"

"Oh…well, I came back to get my books for my next class because I had forgotten them and I found this…" Ginny handed a note to Steph.

The note read:

Hello Hermione, Laura, Ginny, and Steph. I am glad that you wrote me right away. However, I am sending a team of special wizards in to survey the room because the house elves would never forget to close a door (besides, I already asked all of them). So, just to be safe, we are going to do some special testing. You will have to find other people to stay in a room with by tonight. Once you do, either tell me at dinner or send a letter back to me. Have a wonderful day!

Professor Dumbledore

"Have a wonderful day?? Is he off his rocker?" Ginny complained, sounding frustrated, "How can say that when the fact that something terribly wrong could be going on is hanging over our heads like a huge banner, AND HE'S TELLING US TO HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY?"

"Whoa! Ginny! Calm down. This is Dumbledore we're talking about here. We are totally safe with him. I think you should lie down here for the rest of this class and we'll come and get you at lunch," Steph insisted nodding at Laura for extra encouragement.

"Yes Ginny, Dumbledore seems like a very protective man, he is after all the headmaster of this school. I don't think they would just make anyone a headmaster of a very popular wizarding school." Laura encouraged.

"Yeah, you're right. Ok guys, thanks." Ginny sighed, sounding relieved. She walked over to the couch and flopped onto it. Laura and Steph left the common room and headed for the Great Hall so they could finish their little conversation.

They sat at one of the large tables once they reached the Great Hall. No one was there, what did it matter where they sat.

"So, back to you're enchanted broom closet," Steph said sounding somewhat amused, as she sat down.

"Oh, shut up. It's just this like…dream…I have been having since we've arrived here. I wanted him to ask me to a dance or something and then half way through the dance we'd leave, and he'd put a spell on a broom closet and when we opened the door, inside it would be all wonderful and welcoming. Still small though, but comfy. Then we would…well, I guess you can figure it out by yourself from there," Laura trailed off.

"And you want DRACO to do this?" Steph asked, totally oblivious to the fact that Laura was absolutely crazy over Draco.

"Yes"

Draco stepped into the Great Hall and noticed Laura…but she was sitting with Steph. 'Oh well,' he thought, 'the girl is smitten with me, I'm sure she'll leave her friend.'

"-and he'd ask me to a dance or something and then half way through the dance we'd leave, and he'd put a spell on a broom closet and when we opened the door, inside it would be all wonderful and welcoming. Still small though, but comfy. Then we would…well, I guess you can figure it out by yourself from there," Laura trailed off.

"And you want DRACO to do this?" Steph asked, totally oblivious to the fact that Laura was absolutely crazy over Draco.

"Yes"

Draco had heard enough. 'So that's why she left crying' Draco said to himself. Well, if Laura wants us to get together that way, then that's how it will happen.

"Kinky…I guess," Steph tried to sound amused for Laura's sake, but she really couldn't stand Draco. They sat there for the rest of the period talking about Draco and how they were going to break the news to Hermione about their dorm.

The lunch bell rang and the students filled the Great Hall up quickly. Steph and Laura went to their appropriate table and met Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George. Steph sat down in between Harry and Fred. During lunch, things were very tense between everyone. Fred kept looking over at Steph an smiling. Ron kept his face down close to his plate. He would have had food on his face if there was any on his plate. He didn't feel like eating. Harry patted him on the back and whispered something into his ear. Steph was very sympathetic towards Ron.

"Ron, I know why your upset. Ginny does as well," Steph said softly.

Ron looked up at Steph, "You do?" he half choked, half sobbed.

"Yeah-OH FLUFF! I forgot about Ginny!" Steph exclaimed. She got up and as soon as she turned around she saw Ginny walking towards her.

"Ginny, I am so sorry. Things have been so hectic today," Steph apologized, she felt so horrible.

"Steph, it's alright. I didn't get any sleep, I just laid there and watched the clock the whole time," Ginny smiled sympathetically and hugged Steph. Steph hugged her back and let out a huge sigh of relief. Steph sat back down and turned to Ron again.

"Ron, I know you like her, she doesn't know that. She likes you too, but I don't think she has really realized that yet," Steph comforted Ron. Ron smiled back sadly. Steph gave Ron a friendly, sympathetic hug.

"Thanks Steph," he said, still wearing the same sad smile.

"So much love…GIMME SOME LOVE!" Fred shouted and enveloped Steph in his big, strong arms. Steph was taken aback by Fred's actions and gasped. Reality finally set in and Steph smiled, put her head on his shoulder and hugged him back. Taking in his intoxicating scent. Damn, he smells good, Steph thought to herself. 'WAIT! WHOA! AM I HUGGING FRED?!' she thought. She abruptly pulled away.

Harry cleared his throat. Blushes creeping up on both of their faces. Everyone laughed. Suddenly Steph felt a sharp pain at her shin. She winced and noticed Laura did as well. The girls both looked over at Ginny who smiled shyly, and then flashed the note at them. Laura made a quick hand movement that told Ginny to pass the note to her. Ginny obeyed. Laura grabbed the note, read it over once more and looked up at Steph. Laura had that same worried look in her eyes just the night before when she was about to be sorted. Steph winked and Laura smiled nervously.

"Umm…Hermione?…" Laura cleared her throat. Hermione looked at Laura confused. Laura didn't know what to say so she looked at Steph and Ginny for help. They just shrugged, also having no idea what to say. Laura shoved the note into Hermione's hands and let Hermione read it for herself.

"Oh…" was all Hermione could say.

"Well, I guess we'll start asking around," Ginny suggested. The girls split up into pairs of two. Steph with Laura and Hermione with Ginny. They each took one side of the table and worked their ways down asking the girls from Gryffindor if they could bunk up with them. Every girl either said no, or there is just simply not enough room. Hermione sighed. Ginny sighed. Laura sighed. Steph giggled.

"What? Don't you find it sad that we have no where to stay?" Hermione asked.

"I found it funny that you all sighed one after another. It was like a wave of sighs. Anywho, I got an idea," Steph started, a mischievous grin formed at her lips. Laura knew she was up to no good.

"We could always ask the guys if we could bunk up with them?" Steph suggested, cocking an eyebrow, her grin widened.

"Absolutely NOT!" Hermione shouted, "Dumbledore would never accept."

"You don't know until you ask," Ginny retorted. Hermione was taken aback by Ginny's reply. Hermione sighed and gave in, she sat back down in her seat at the Gryffindor table and started writing a note to Dumbledore.

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I have a tiny problem. We have asked all the girls in Gryffindor if it was ok for the myself, Stephanie, Laura and Ginny to bunk up with them for the time being and all of them have said no. Now, you most likely will not approve of this but the girls and I wanted to ask, do you think it would be alright if we could bunk up with a guys dorm? I know it is strictly against school policy, but you could make the room larger, put cots in there for us to sleep on and put a spell on the cot so no one may do anything on it. I think you know what I mean. Please give me a reply, so we can get this deal sorted out. Good day.

Sincerely,

Hermione Granger.

Hermione sent the note whizzing up to the teacher's. She held her wand up a bit longer then she should have though because the note hit Dumbledore right smack-dab in the middle of his forehead.

Dumbledore chuckled. It was good that the school year was starting off great. Just then, something hit him in the forehead and a note dropped onto his plate. He opened it, read it and glanced over at the Gryffindor table. He watched Harry, Ron, Hermione, the Twins, Laura, Steph and Ginny all having a great time laughing and so on. He wrote his reply back to Hermione and sent it whizzing over to her. The note dropped on Hermione's lap, she opened it and read it.

Dear Hermione,

I know you know almost as well as I do the risks of me letting something like this happen. I will, however let you stay in the dorm with Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, and Seamus Finnegan. I will give you the spells later to cast on the room. You will not spread a word of this to anyone. Let Steph, Laura, and Ginny be aware of this as well. Good day.

Sincerely,

Professor Dumbledore

Hermione looked up and smiled at no one in particular.

"Better be happy Steph, you got what you wanted," Hermione said in a sing-song voice.

"Are you serious?" Steph asked, not believing Hermione. Hermione shoved the letter into Steph's hands, "Read it yourself,"

Steph took the letter and read it over, the grin on her face seemed to get more mischevious as she read it. She finished reading over the letter and looked up at Ginny, Laura, and Hermione, and winked.

"What?" Laura asked, totally clueless.

Steph leaned over the table and whispered into Laura's ear, "We, my good friend, are staying in a room with one of your many lovers."

"REALLY?! WE'RE STAYING WITH R-" Laura screamed, but then stopped and blushed profusely when she saw everyone in the Great Hall staring at her. Laura giggled girlishly.

"Oh my…" Steph sighed slapping her hand to her forehead. Harry, Ron and the twins laughed.

"You two certainly are…unique friends," Harry said, still laughing, "What is on the letter that you guys are so happy about," The girls each looked at each other before Ginny spoke up.

"We have to stay in your dorm," Ginny said shyly.

"You what?!" Ron asked surprised, so surprised that he spit out the juice he had decided to drink.

"We have to stay in your dorm with you," Laura added. Ron gulped. Harry was shocked. Neville sported an ear-to-ear smile. Dean and Seamus, who were sitting a few seats down had heard Laura and high-fived each other.

"SHUT UP!," Hermione said fiercely, "No one is supposed to know!"

"Oh…" Laura, Ginny, and Steph said in unison.

The afternoon flew by. Harry, Ron and Steph had Defence Against the Dark Arts third period. Hermione and Laura had Care of Magical Creatures, and then all of them met back up for Herbology, period four.

Later that night at dinner, Harry, Ron, and the girls met up with Ginny, Fred and George. Dinner was a lot more enjoyable, most of them forgot about the events that had happened that morning. Everyone except for Ron, who was trying very hard not to look over at the Slytherin table where Laura and Draco were sitting and laughing at one another. Just then Dumbledore stood and everyone in the Great Hall hushed down to silence in a matter of seconds.

"Good Evening, everyone," Dumbledore spoke softly, yet his words roared through the Great Hall, "Nothing really important, just here to inform you of the Halloween Ball we will be holding here in the Great Hall, Halloween Night. It will be formal however, no costumes this year. That is all. Carry on." Dumbledore sat back down expecting to hear moans and groans from the students because of the no costumes thing, but he was surprised to hear claps and cheers.

Over at the Slytherin table, Draco was smiling to himself.

"Nice face. What are you smiling about?" Laura giggled.

Draco snapped out of the trance he seemed to be in, "Huh? What? Oh…nothing," he retorted. Laura looked at him strangely but continued on in her conversation about turtles she was having with Goyle.

"Would you like to go to the dance with me?" Draco stuttered out, unexpectedly.

"Umm…yeah, sure," Laura gasped, taken aback. Draco smiled at her, Laura smiled back at him.

Dinner went by quickly. After dinner, kids filed out of the Great Hall and to their houses. Some stayed behind to chat it up with their friends from different houses, or some just wondered halls.

"SO! When do we get to move in?" Steph said cheerfully, running up to Ron and putting her arm around him. Ron looked at Steph like she was out of her mind.

"Whenever, I guess," Ron answered and shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh Ron, don't worry, things will turn for the good in no time," Steph reassured him and squeezed her arm tight around his shoulders. Ron let her arm stay there, not because he fancied her, but because he needed a friend. They walked back to Gryffindor tower with the rest of the gang, arms around each other, joking and laughing.

"I am not barging through that door again," Steph refused. Hermione walked up to the door and opened it. The four of them walked into their dorm, there was an eerie silence. They quickly packed up their things and ran out of the room. The girls slowed their pace as they came down the stairs, except Laura. Laura was still coming down the stairs at top speed, forgetting to put her brakes on, she ran into Steph and sent her flying down the stairs landing hard on the stone floor. Harry and Ron were sitting by the fire, talking about something when they heard a huge thud.

"Ooow," Steph moaned, "Why does everything always happen to me."

The girls got to the bottom of the stairs just as Harry and Ron came over to see what happened.

"Oh my, Steph, are you okay?" Harry asked.

"OH MY GOSH, STEPH! I am soooo sorry," Laura apologized frantically.

Steph sat up and looked around. Harry and Hermione helped her up.

"Alright, we'll show you to our room," Harry suggested. Laura insisted on helping Steph up the stairs, but Ron stepped in.

"I'll take her, it's OK. You've done enough damage," Ron said coolly. Harry dropped Steph's stuff, Hermione and Ginny turned around and gaped at Ron. Laura's eyes began to fill up with tears.

"Look Ron. I feel bad enough that I sent my friend flying down the stairs, the least I could do is help her. And I am sorry that I hurt you, although I don't know what I did. It would help if you just talked to me," Laura pleaded. Ron helped Steph up, Laura grabbed Steph's other arm, and the both of them helped Steph up the stairs. Half way up Steph's legs got use to the movement of walking and she let Laura and Ron go so she could walk on her own.

They reached the boys' dorm; Harry walked in and threw Steph and Laura's stuff on the bed. Hermione walked in and set her stuff down, and immediately began charming the room following Dumbledore's orders. By the time Hermione was finished, the room was 3 times as big, had 2 bathrooms, and 4 cots in the middle of the room that looked like big, luxurious couches. The girl's each threw there bags under their makeshift beds and went to explore their new bathroom. As the girls huddled into the bathroom, Laura felt someone tap her shoulder.

She turned around to come face to face with Ron.

"Umm…C-c-can I talk to you?" Ron stumbled on his words.

"Yeah, sure," was Laura's reply. Ron led her out of the room and down to the somewhat empty common room. He led her to one of the big, burgundy couches in front of the blazing fire.

"So, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Laura asked turning towards Ron.
