Hermione came back into the dorm in a cheerful mood after her shower, feeling awake and happy. She noticed her dorm mates standing in front of their mirrors applying their daily make-up, Lavender was slightly distracted though and was watching her with one eye.

"What?" Hermione asked the other teen girl. Parvati also glanced a Hermione through the mirror to see what was going on.

"Have you asked her yet?" Lavender asked, Hermione shook her head, "Well get going already, we want to know."

"You want me to ask her now?" Hermione asked uncertainly, the other two nodded.

"Before breakfast preferably." Parvati told the bushy haired young woman. "Well? What're you waiting for? We'll be down in a moment." Hermione slowly made her way out of the room and downstairs. She had been thinking about how she'd do this and approached her best friend warily.

"Morning Ginny." She greeted, the redhead turned.

"Oh! Morning Hermione. I didn't notice that you'd come down already." She replied cheerily, she seemed oblivious to Hermione's current subdued mood. "We waiting for my brother and Harry?"

"Yeah." Hermione muttered, she looked up and started twirling her fingers in a strand of her hair; Ginny gave her an odd look.

"What're you doing?" She asked her long-time friend.

"Oh… just trying to get my hair to curl a little. I was told it'd work." Hermione replied stupidly, Ginny noticed the delay at the beginning of the other teen's statement. Hermione mentally slapped herself.

"Really?" She asked, Hermione nodded.

"You try it." She urged, Ginny frowned.

"Y'know that 'test' doesn't work right?" She asked rhetorically, "If you wanted to know if I was gay or not you could've just asked. I'd expect that from the others but not from you Hermione! You're meant to be my best friend." Ginny exclaimed before she turned to go.

"Ginny wait!" Hermione called, her friend stopped but didn't turn; most eyes were on them now. "I'm sorry. I should have asked you it's just…" Hermione trailed off, not knowing what to say. Ginny spun back round angrily.

"Just what, Hermione? A disgrace to be friends with a bisexual? Why did you think that I didn't tell you? You'd act like everyone else and ignore me or ridicule me if I'd have told you!" Ginny shouted, tears formed in her eyes.

"No Ginny I wouldn't!" Hermione replied fervently. "I'm so, so sorry."

"Just leave me alone Hermione." Ginny muttered and stormed up the girls staircase, pushing past a quintet of gleeful looking girls.

"What just happened here?" Ron asked Hermione as he came over from the boys' staircase, "What's wrong with Ginny?" Hermione just shook her head and collapsed into a waiting chair, putting her head in her hands as she recalled what had just happened to herself in her mind. "Hermione?"

"It was nothing." The girl muttered in reply. The five girls approached them.

"That was excellent Hermione!" Lavender gushed, Hermione glared up at them.

"Excellent? I've just hurt my best friend! How could that be excellent?" She asked them, their ecstatic looks toned down a little.

"We know she's a lesbian now." Lucy suggested, Hermione turned her glare to her.

"That shouldn't matter! Merlin why did I get dragged into this?" She asked herself, Ron and Harry looked confused.

"Wait, Ginny's… She's…"

"Bisexual Ron, yes." Hermione snapped. "Oh I shouldn't have done that." She added to herself.

"Yes you should." Beth stated. "We had a right to know what sort of person we were sharing a room with."

"Well she won't be with us soon enough." Lucy said gleefully, "C'mon, lets go talk to one of the Professors."

"What?" Hermione shrieked, "Haven't you done enough to her already?"

"No, but you did." Jessica said with an evil smirk, "Let's go already, I want her out of our room!"

AN: Those bitches. I actually like how they've formed in my mind though; even if they are annoying bloody slags who interfere with people's lives when they have no bloody reason too… Calm now. I was ranting about those sorts of girls in general just then, heh. I give you permission to sweatdrop and sigh at my bitchy-ness.

Teremoc – Thanx! I was hoping it would be! Lol. Right, twisting hair. Well, if you're twisting it on the right then clockwise would be going inwards (I think) whereas it'd be anti-clockwise on the left. Got it? It's just this silly thing I made up though so it shouldn't matter too much. A bit like that finger-nails test on Joan of Arcadia when Joan was told by the girls to test if Grace was gay, bit unfair I think.

Faint Hate – Cool and thanxand here's more!

Over and out,
