Bri rolled her eyes. Ahh, boys will be boys. She made her way to the entrance of the Gryffindor Common Room, the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Passwo… oh it's you. Go right on in dear."

"Thank you." She said politely with a smile. The portrait swung open to reveal a large stone room with a fire crackling nearby.

"Harry?" A girl called from the corner of the room. "Oh, it's you."

"You seem disappointed." Bri said, the fire reflecting in her bright eyes.

"Me? No… don't be silly. Now, anyways… what should we study first?"

"Oh don't change the subject, come on, dish it… do you like Harry or something?"

"Ha ha.. nooo no, he's just a good friend. Yes, a very good friend, that's all.."

"'Cause if you want me to back away, you know, I'm more than willing to..." she took a step forward, as if to challenge her.

"What? Back away? Why would you need to do a thing like that? Heh heh… I don't fancy Harry, you can stay as close as you want to him."

"Okay… whatever you say…" She set her books down on the table. "How about some history of this whole magic thing first… so I at least know where this is all coming from."

"Sounds like a good start." Hermione silently let out the breath she'd been holding. She knows… I know she knows…

"Okay who's this guy?"

"What guy?" Thoughts of Harry quickly flashed through her mind.

"You know, the one with the white beard, standing next to that lady over there." She pointed to a picture in Hermione's book, Hogwarts: A History.

"You don't know who that is?"

"Uh.. no…"

"Oh dear. That's Godric Gryffindor. He and three others founded Hogwarts School together, and obviously he founded Gryffindor House."

"Oh."

By this point Hermione was getting annoyed. "Why don't I give this to you and you can read it some time when your free, I don't think you'll need help learning the history, it's pretty much just reading." She handed over the 6 inch thick book. "When you're done with this, you can read this: Book of Potions for Beginners. You'll need to know a little for when we have our Potions lesson." She handed over another equally thick book.

"Er… thanks.."

"What… is it that you can't handle all that reading? I could… back off…I mean… take one off that pile…if you want me too." She shot her a daring glance.

"No thank you… I can handle it." The flames from the fire once again reflected in her eyes and she gave her a devilish grin.

Ron rushed down the stairs and almost tripped on the last step.

"Hermione! I heard that you were going to help that gi…" His jaw dropped.

"What girl?" Brianna questioned him with an intrigued look on her face.

"Oh.. er.. nevermind…"

"Okayyy… well I should go now, it's getting late and I need to take a shower." Ron's jaw was almost flush with his chest by this point..

"Bye Bri… see you in class tomorrow. I'll explain to the teachers that you're sort of a… beginner." Hermione smiled in a smug sort of way. Bri just flipped her hair and walked out the door.

Five minutes had passed. Ron was practically bouncing on his bed, waiting for Harry to enter the boys' dormitory. Maybe I could just borrow it without asking him…yeah, I don't think he'd mind.. Ron walked over to the large wooden chest at the foot of Harry's four poster bed. He slowly opened it, as if in fear that something might fly out at him. There it was, the silvery fabric folded neatly on top of some of his unused books. Brilliant. Ron grabbed the invisibility cloak, quietly shut the chest, and draped it over him as he ran out the door.

In less than ten seconds Ron was already running down the hallway. Where is she?I know she's not in Gryffindor, because she left the Common Room… hmm.. Just as he was about to decide to sneak into the Hufflepuff girls' dormitory, the moonlight shining through the huge window caught his eye. It was so oddly bright that he decided to take a closer look. He saw the large, perfectly rounded moon shining brightly over the lake surrounding Hogwarts Castle. Looking further down, he could see something moving near the glimmering reflection of the moon in the rippling waters. Holy shit!

He found his way out of the castle and hurried across the grass. She doesn't know about the Giant Squid! He reached the shore and looked down into the water, but now nothing was there. I'll give her 30 seconds, and if she doesn't come up, I'll go in after her…

But there was no need for that. The surface of the water broke, and out from it arose the girl, totally naked. The moonlight shone on her creamy white skin. She was flawless from head to toe.

"How brave of you Ron, but you don't need to worry, I don't need to be saved."

What? Did the invisibility cloak fall off as I was running and was I thinking aloud? He checked to see if it was still there, and in fact, it was. What the hell? The only person he knew that could see through the invisibility cloak was Dumbledore.

"Umm.. okay.. I better go now then…" He shielded his eyes to impy he wasn't purposefully staring.

"Oh no hun, you're okay. Could you just hand me those clothes over there?"

"Wha.. oh.. y..yes of course." He went over to where he saw a pile of clothes neatly spread out on the grass. He turned around to walk over and hand them to her, but she was already standing right behind them.

"OH! Err.. sorry.." He shut his eyes in embarrassment.

She laughed. "I told you, it's okay, you don't need to cover you eyes." She grabbed his hand and placed it around her waist. Gulp She leaned in closer.

"Thanks for watching out for me." She kissed him on the cheek. Then she took her clothes, silently put them on, and walked back into the school, cool as a cucumber. Ron remained standing there in the moonlight. Woah. I just touched a beautiful, naked woman. Cool. His notorious half grin appeared on his face. He strolled back into the school, back through the Gryffindor Common Room, and up the stairs into the boys'dormitory, still with the dumbfounded expression on his face. Good. Harry's still not here. He placed the cloak back into the chest, exactly how it was before. With a sigh of relief he collapsed on his bed. Wow.. what a night.
