It doesn't really matter to me how many reviews I get. But I sure do enjoy them. Since I have the story written out, I will basically send out a new chapter everyday. On second thought, I may just send all the chapters by Thursday because I'm going to San Antonio. (Woo!) Thank you so much for the reviews and also for reading /this/ far. Kudos for joo! Again, I do not own any of these characters. And I apologize for this chapter being short.


Chapter Three

Hermione ran as fast as she could to the common room. She hadn't had this much workout since her fifth year. She couldn't believe she just kissed Cho Chang. And for the sake of her friend! Throwing her hands up in the air, Hermione shouted out joyously. Ron didn't like Parvati! So then wait. If Ron didn't like Parvati...who did he like? Hermione was so happy that Ron didn't like Parvati that she didn't even stop to think that he may not her either. 'Brilliant.' Hermione sighed and continued to run to the common room. She ran her hands through her hair to discover that her jet black hair was soon turning longer and bushier.

Hermione sat in the girls loo until the potion wore off completely. She thought of all the girls Ron had shown interest in. Once Hermione's vision blurred she took of Harry's glasses and changed back into her own robes. Sighing, she placed the robes back in Harry's dresser and went to go waken Harry from his sleep. Hermione opened the closet door and found a sleeping Harry curled up in a ball in the corner of the closet. Hermione giggled and thought, "Muggle Kodak moment..." She grabbed Harry by the arms and dragged him out of the closet carefully. Every once in awhile Harry would moan, "No. Get the blast-ended skrewt. Don't let it get in the batter for the doughnuts." Hermione stifled her laughter and placed Harry in his bed. Tucking him in she said, "You helped me so much today, Harry. Even though you can't hear me, thank you." She smiled and left the common room.

Hermione cautiously tip-toed out of the boys dorm trying to look innocent. She felt a wave a relief as she entered the common room. It was filled with the loud chattering of many students. Laughter rose up to the high ceiling and Hermione felt...like herself. Hermione's eyes spotted Ron in the corner talking to Lavender. WAIT. Lavender? Lavender? L-A-V-E-N-D-E-R! What would he want with Lavender? Oh. My. Gosh. He was blushing. That could only mean one thing. Ron fancied Lavender? "Oh yes. One good thing after another. For Merlin's sake, keep them coming." Hermione cursed to the ceiling.

Ron came up to Hermione looking rather proud of himself, "Have you seen Harry, Hermione?" He asked in a deeper tone.

"Ron. I know that's not your voice. Stop trying to act manly."

"But I am manly."

"You are not."

"I am. I have a hair on my upper lip. Wanna see?"

"NO! Harry's probably in the dorm. I haven't seen him all day." She lied. It's a good thing Ron couldn't see through her lies.

"Mmkay thanks 'Mione."

'Damn. Probably going to tell him about Lavender.' Hermione thought to herself. She looked at Lavender evilly. "Of all people..." Hermione gritted her teeth and stomped off to the girls dorm. 'Might as well turn in early. No homework. Nothing to do. No life bascially.'

Next morning-

Hermione woke up to the sounds of the birds chirping. She was surprised she wasn't wakened by Ron's cries. Wait. Why wasn't Ron calling her? Hermione got dressed quickly and ran down to the common room. It was empty except for a few students. Hermione continued to look around until her stomach growled. 'Oh well. He probably got too hungry and left without me.'

She walked to the Great Hall and watched as Ron, Harry and now Lavender laughed together. 'Has she replaced me? Is she the new Hermione? Is she now the ONLY girl in the infamous trio?' Hermioine walked up to Lavender in silence and said flatly, "You are in my seat."

"Hermione, there's room next to me." Harry said trying to persuade Hermione. He pointed at the seat next to him.

"I prefer my seat. Possibly, Lavender could switch. I am just surprised she isn't here with Parvati." Hermione said rudely.

"Parvati has other friends, as do I. Though Ron isn't just my friend. He is more." Lavender flashed an evil grin at Hermione.

Hermione tried to act calm, "I see. Then I will take up your offer on your vacant seat, Harry. Sorry for the trouble Lavender, Ron." She nodded in Ron's direction. Ron immediately drooped his head and flushed. Harry stared at Hermione and whispered, "I didn't know we had assigned seats." "We don't. I'm just used to that seat is all." Harry quieted down and they all ate in silence. "Awkward." Harry said finally.

Ron quickly pushed his plate from him and said, "I'm full" "So am I. Ron, let's go take a walk around the grounds yes?" Lavender asked getting up from the table. "Sure." He stood up and they both walked out of the Great Hall, hand in hand.

"I can't believe Ron likes Lavender." Hermione finally said.

"Neither can I. I guess it's true what they say then huh?"

"What do they say?"

"People alike attract."

"No, Harry. It's opposite's attract."

"That's what it means."

"No. You meant people who are alike attract."
"That's what I mean."

"Forget it. You're right. That's what they say."

"Duh Hermione!"

Hermione stared at Harry confused, "Right Harry."
