"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!" Hermione was screaming in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory. She

wasn't screaming out loud. If she wanted to be elected Head Girl next year, she couldn't scream

out loud for everyone to hear. But there was nothing wrong about screaming in your head.

Except that you would tend to develop a very bad headache.

But Hermione Granger had a very good reason to be screaming (in her head). It all started

yesterday afternoon….

"Mr. Weasley!" Professor McGonagall said sharply at Ron during Transfiguration. Ron awoke

abruptly.

"What? I didn't do anything! I am fully paying attention to your lecture on the pain of what

happens when you change your arm into a telescope—"

"Well since you were fully paying attention you are aware that I have ended the lesson about five

minutes ago. I would like to have a word with you. And then you can go down to dinner where

strongly suggest you get some caffeine."

"Right," Ron said turning a little pink, "sorry, Professor."

Professor McGonagall gave an exasperated sigh and motioned him over to her desk. Ron walked

over and noticed Hermione, looking a bit annoyed to see he had fallen asleep and delayed her,

gave a brisk smile.

"Hermione, what're you doing here?" Ron spoke groggily, had he been more awake, surprise

would have been quite evident in his speech. Of course, he wasn't, so the most he could do was

mumble in confusion.

Hermione gave a sigh just as exasperated as Professor McGonagall's own.

"Professor McGonagall asked for both of us to stay behind. She said it has something to do with

Prefect duties. Or has your lack of sleep made you forget you're a prefect?"

"Sorry, Hermione. It's just that with Snape's essay, Quidditch practice, Prefect duties—"

"Now tomorrow there will be a Prefect meeting discussing the new suggestion box put in each

common room. You both know what I am referring to?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Hermione nodded. Ron rolled his eyes.

At the beginning of the year Professor Dumbledore announced that there would be a suggestion

box placed in each of the common rooms where students could place their suggestions and

thoughts on how to promote unity among the houses. It was enchanted so that no one could

vandalize it in any way, but the suggestion box hadn't been of much success. Most of the

suggestions that were put involved placing all the Slytherins in shackles and sacking Snape. At

least that was better than the Hufflepuff suggestion box--they only had two suggestions in it.

Needless to say, Ron and Hermione found it rather pointless to have a meeting on the unpopular

suggestion boxes.

"The meeting will be at four tomorrow in my office. It will start with or without you so I

recommend you be on time. Any questions?"

"What time does it end?" Ron asked, still half asleep.

Professor McGonagall and Hermione glared at him.

"Well that all depends on how much cooperation everyone is willing to give. But if it was

anything like the last meeting we had—"

Hermione's somewhat forgiving glare turned into an icy one. At the last prefect meeting Ron

thought it was the excellent opportunity to test human transfiguration on Malfoy.

"—then I suggest you prepare on skipping dinner. And Mr. Weasley kindly note that if any part

of Mr. Malfoy turns feathery you will be serving detention for two months and 50 more points

from Gryffindor."

"Why not just remove me from being a Prefect?" Ron muttered hopefully. Not softly enough to

escape the ears of Professor McGonagall or Hermione.

"Because, Mr. Weasley, that would only be too easy. Good evening to the both of you."

She left, but not without taking 5 points from Gryffindor for Ron's lack of cooperation first.

"You know," Ron said as he and Hermione were heading to the common room to drop off their

books, "I really don't know why she was so upset. That was a really good bit of transfiguration. I

mean at least she knows that I was paying attention during the lesson—OW!"

Hermione had just turned to Ron and gave him a hard whack upside the head.

"Merlin, Hermione that hurt! You know you should really try out for a Beater position. With a

club in your hands you could do some serious damage—"

"Do you want me to hit you again?" Hermione spoke with threat in her voice, raising her hand

dangerously.

"No thanks. Shutting up now." Ron said.

"Ron! Do you have no respect for authority? I was just about ready to strangle you after you

asked McGonagall what time it ends!"

"It was a valid question—"

"But Ron! It's rude. And falling asleep like that in class—"

"Like I said I had Snape's essay and—"

"You should have started that essay a week ago! Honestly, Ron I sometimes wonder why

Dumbledore ever made you a Prefect!"

Hermione bit her lip. She regretted saying that... it could very well be hurtful. Despite her worry,

Ron just grinned.

"Yeah, you know, sometimes I wonder that myself. But come on, you have to admit, being a

Prefect would be horrible without me." He gave her a huge, sappy grin to put emphasis on his

point.

Hermione didn't say anything but her lips twitched and broke out into a grudging smile.

They entered the common room and found Harry.

"About time you two came up. So Hermione, were you able to wake Ron up?"

"No, but Professor McGonagall was able to."

Ron turned red and Harry laughed.

"So what did she want you two for?" Harry asked.

"There's going to be a Prefect meeting tomorrow." Hermione said.

"Yeah, on a Saturday! I'm starting to think McGonagall really hates me."

"She wouldn't be the first one." Harry muttered loudly enough that Ron could hear. Ron

whacked him on the back of the head.

"Hey!" Harry cried in indignation.

"Hermione taught me a new trick." Ron said in mock pride.

Hermione rolled her eyes, those boys...

"Wait a moment... don't you usually have your meetings at the beginning of each month?" Harry

asked curiously.

"Well this is a special meeting." Hermione said smugly.

"Yeah, to talk about the suggestion box," Ron sniggered.

"Really?" Harry asked Hermione. "Why have a meeting about it? Every suggestion in it is

rubbish."

"Nah... I thought that one suggesting Snape jump in the lake in the lake without his wand and

sing a lullaby the merpeople was pretty good." Ron said.

"Well maybe," Hermione said, trying to ignore Ron and Harry, but grinning all the same,

"someone had a good suggestion on promoting school unity."

"Right. And maybe Snape doesn't look like a depressed clown with a big nose." Ron said.

"Honestly Hermione, I think McGonagall is going to suggest about sacking the suggestion box.

It's not doing anything except give students a few laughs. But I have to agree with Ron about the

Snape thing." Harry said seriously.

"About Snape jumping in a lake or about Snape looking like a depressed clown?" Ron asked.

Harry thought a moment. "Both."

"Now really!" Hermione said as Ron and Harry started laughing. "I'm sure someone doesn't

think the suggestion box is so—"

"Stupid?" Harry offered.

"Insignificant." She said, giving Harry the same icy stare she gave Ron while in Professor

McGonagall's room.

"Fat chance, Hermione. I think Harry's right. Professor McGonagall probably wants to hold a

meeting to tell us that the suggestion box is a failure and to ask us what other ways could we

promote school unity." Ron replied.

"And do you have any ideas Ron?" Hermione asked.

"Nope."

"Well I'll just keep my hopes up and believe that someone had a good suggestion on promoting

school unity."

It turns out that someone did have a suggestion of promoting school unity. Unfortunately, it

wasn't Hermione's idea of a "good" suggestion.

Read and Review thats all I ask!
