Disclaimer: Nope, I don't anyone except for the people I created. So there fore I don't own Harry potter they belong to the wonderful writer J.K. Rowling. Warning: Language in the chapter is a little harsh.

Harry awoke in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat. He had no recollection of his horrifying nightmare, yet he still seemed uneasy. He rolled over to the side of his bed to see the fog filled October sky. Turning back he closed his curtains and awaited the sun to arrive.

A few hours later in the common room, the majority of the Gryffindor tower, were ready to go. Harry dragged his tired self down the stairs to see his friends sitting by the fire. Hermione sat with Ron on the couch. Ron's hand played with Hermione's hair, the other holding her hand. Kathryn sat engrossed in a book with her hair in a long ponytail. Ron looked up from Hermione to spot Harry, waved him over.

"Ready to go to Hogsmeade mate?" asked Ron switching positions on the couch, so that Hermione was leaning against him. Harry sometimes envied what they had, and wished he too could have it. Kathryn looked over, from the top of her book and gave a small smile. Walking over to the sit down next to Kathryn, he asked, "What's everyone going to do in Hogsmeade?"

"Ron and I are going to wander around for a little bit, and Kayla and Clay are going on a Date," stated Hermione, smiling. Harry looked to Kathryn, waiting for her answer, she gave him a shrug and replied, "Don't think I will go."

"How come?" asked Harry with a grin?

"I know that grin, I just don't Hogsmeade and I----" Kathryn was cut off when Harry and Ron interrupted her.

"We don't care, you are going to come with us and you are going to have a good time even if you don't like it," commanded Harry.

"Do we make ourselves clear?" asked Ron.

Kathryn jumped up and saluted while shouting, "Yes Sir!"

Hermione was doubled over with laughter as she watched the scene. Being a muggle born did have its advantages. She knew what was so funny as some of the others in the common room did not seem to get it. Shaking her head, Hermione called the others, "Guys, lets go grab a carriage down to the village."

Nodding, they grabbed their cloaks. Hermione ran up to the girl's dorms and grabbed hers and Kathryn's money from the trunks. Running back down the stairs she went through the portrait hole and slammed into somebody. Looking up Hermione spotted Ron. His hand was extended to wards her. Grabbing his hand she pulled herself up.

"Careful 'mione" he said looking at her. Harry and Kathryn were also giving her a questioning look. Hermione dusted herself off and walked in front of the group and smiled over her shoulder, "Coming."

The others followed Hermione down to the front entrance. They waited outside for the coach when two voices shouted at them.

"Gryffies" yelled Kayla as she came into view on Clay's back. Clay dropped her at everyone's feet. Kayla stood up, brushed herself off and stuck her tongue out at Clay.

"Gryffies?" asked Harry looking at the Ravenclaw. Kayla shrugged, and Clay answered for her.

"It goes like this. Kayla and I were in the common room and she started talking about how all the names of the houses were to long, so she decided to give them new names. Gryffindor became Gryffie, Hufflepuff became Huffs, Ravenclaw became Birdies, and Slytherin became Slimy Snake that need to be killed. She however is now calling them S.S.T.N.T.B.K. So off to the village are we?" asked Clay.

Kathryn started to laugh, "Kayla could we shorten the Slytherin names to just S.S. And how are we all going to get in the carriage. It is only four in one carriage, two of us are going to have to sit in another."

The others, not including Harry exchanged looks. Giving a small smile, Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and leapt into the nearest carriage. Clay and Kayla followed. Hermione stuck her head out of the window,

"See you guys in Hogsmeade."

Kathryn and Harry gave each other the strangest look. Shaking their heads about their friends' abnormal behaviour they waited for the next carriage. The carriage pulled up to the steps and Harry opened the door for Kathryn. Blushing she got in and Harry followed.

"So" began Harry, "Do you think they are setting us up?"

Kathryn looked at him for a moment and than realized he was right. She thought about the strange behaviour, and started to laugh. Harry gave her a puzzled gaze.

"I thought of a brilliant plan to get back at them. This is it, we know they are not going to be waiting for us in the village right?" Kathryn explained, "But we do know that they are going to be spying on us every one and a while, so lets give them something to talk about."

Harry looked at her as if she had grown another head. He didn't quite understand her.

"Okay let me make this simple," said Kathryn in a voice, which sounded like she was talking to a first grader. "We are going to pretend to go out," she said emphasizing the word out.

Harry's eye widened, "Your serious. I like the way you think."

Kathryn smiled and nodded. "So if we are going to get this to work we have to decided where we are going to go," she stated. Harry nodded and thought for a second and than spoke,

"How about we walk around, going into various stores. We look like we are going as friends, however every once in a while stop and sit down on a bench and do something. Okay?" Harry asked.

Kathryn nodded just as the carriage came to a stop. "Time to put our plan into action Harry."

Harry got out of the carriage and helped Kathryn out. Kathryn laced her fingers between his and they walked off into the village.

From behind a bush the four friends stared as the two walked away.

"Do you think that they know?" asked Kayla giving a surprised look.

They all looked at each other, "Nah"
