Chapter 32- A Useful Joke Shop

Two Weeks Later

"I can't believe that first year in Ravenclaw was pulled out of the school by her parents," Ginny said.

"I can't believe it either. I guess her parents were worried that something might happen to her," Hermione replied. "I just hope none of our friends get pulled out."

"I think most parents trust Dumbledore for whatever reasonand that they believe the school is well-protected," Harry said. "Besides, I don't think a lot of the 7th years or the people in our year will leave. They probably want to protect the school if they had the chance."

"I still can't believe Dumbledore liked your idea," said Ron.

"Me neither. I thought he would hate it," said Hermione. "But he really seems to like it for some odd reason. And he really seems to think it could work."

"Sometimes I don't even want to know the reasoning behind some of the stuff he does," declared Draco. Everybody else nodded in agreement and went back to work on the essays they were writing.

"I can't believe that the twin's joke products would actually come in handy," Hermione said a few minutes later.

"Mum owled me and Ginny a letter saying how for once she was glad the twin's made the stuff," Ron said.

"The correct grammar would be 'Ginny and I,'" Hermione said.

"You didn't have to correct me. Everyone knew what I meant Hermione," Ron told her.

"Not again," muttered Draco. "Do you two really have to fight all the time?"

"Ron starts it."

"I do not!"

Draco looked at Harry and Ginny and said, "At least she's dating Fred and not Ron. Who knows who worse their arguing would be if they were dating?"

"I don't think there's a chance in hell that Fred and 'Mione would break up with each other," said Harry. "Especially since that potion thingie."

"Mum's still talking about it, even though it was 4 months ago," Ginny said. "But since Hermione's only 16, she's been going on about how she can't wait until Hermione's old enough so she can marry Fred. Mom's always been really weird about stuff like that."

"If I know 'Mione, she'll want to wait until she has a career before she even thinks about getting married," Harry said.

"I hope your mom doesn't act like that around us," Draco said.

"I don't think she knows we're dating, so we won't have to worry for a while," Ginny told him.

"'Mione, what are we doing tonight?" asked Fred.

"I'm going to read," Hermione answered.

"What am I going to do?" Fred whined.

"Why don't you plan your lesson or grade essays or something," Hermione replied. "I'm not your baby-sitter."

"You're mean."

"Get over it."

"Children, let's stop arguing now," Tonks said. "And I agree with Hermione. She's not your baby-sitter."

"I don't know why everyone's being mean to me today," grumbled Fred. "It's not fair."

"No one said it was fair," Hermione said. "But I know you love me anyway."

"I don't know why. I mean, you are really mean," Fred told her. Noticing the glare she was giving him, he add, "I'm joking! Of course I love you."

"You'd better," Hermione muttered.

Fred walked over to Hermione and gave her a big hug- one that was similar to the hugs Mrs. Weasley gave- before he took the book out of Hermione's hands.

"Accio book," Hermione said as the book flew out of Fred's hands toward Hermione. Fred started to chase Hermione around their common room when she stopped suddenly and gasped.

"What's wrong Hermione?" asked Tonks.

"I have a really bad feeling," Hermione said.

"Is because you were trying to escape me?" Fred asked.

"No," she said slowly. "I don't know why, but I feel like something bad is going to happen."
