When Ron, Hermione and Harry got to the Great Hall there was hardly anyone there.

"Geez, there was a load more people here when I left to get you two. Harry took so long in getting you, Mione. I thought he got lost." Ron finished off his little joke with his weird little half laugh half giggle.

Harry gave Ron a Look, "Ha Ha, very funny. You would think that since I've been here for like, seven years I'd know my way around. Eh, Ron?"

Ron went an extremely deep shade of red, "Shut up Harry, you promised not to say anything… Or do you want me to spill my little piece of knowledge… Hmm?"

"Ok, ok… I'll keep quiet if you do." Harry said rather quickly and more high-pitched than usual.

"Is it just me or am I being left out of something?" I remarked, "I mean, come on, how stupid do you think I am?"

Harry and Ron both turned to look at her, "Ok, don't answer that question."

"I'll be only too happy to," came the way too familiar voice of… You guessed it, Malfoy.

"Can I help you?" I asked, with no real concern about whether or not I could.

"Granger, what makes you think that you would be any help to me?"

"Only the fact that for the past six years she has kicked your ass in every subject… Also the fact that she's not a worthless scum like you… Oh, and wait… She probably flies better than you as well," with that remark they, along with all the other Gryffindors that had been listening, cracked up laughing. Leaving Malfoy to give a rather pathetic glare and saunter away.

"You would think that with what happened on his holidays he would've sobered up a bit."

"Ron! That was really tight. Just shut up, okay?" I said, outraged that he could say something like that. In front of everyone as well…

"What? It's not like I yelled out what happened at the top of my voice," he finished rather pathetically.

"Whatever, I'll see you guys later… I have to study." I said hastily.

"But you've already done all your homework!"

As Hermione walked out Harry and Ron stared speechlessly after her. "What is up with her?" Harry asked, still gaping.

"I have no idea mate," Ron replied, "All I know is she's going to flip when she finds out about the new class we're taking tomorrow."

"Huh? What class?" Harry practically gasped.

"That's what I was going to show you guys when we all got out here… But then Hermione bailed." Ron replied.

"Yeah, okay, back to the class… What are you going on about?" Harry asked.

"Well… You're not going to like it," Ron started weakly.

"I don't care… Tell me! Please, Don't leave me hanging like this."

"Okay, well, we have a new poetry class…" Ron said, closing his eyes and then slowly opening them to find Harry looking absolutely baffled.

"But… But… Why? With who?" Harry spluttered.

"Why? I don't know… With who… Ummm… I think… The Slytherins…"

"Shit… I'm screwed… We're screwed… We're all screwed" said Harry, rather dramatically than usual.

"Reckon we should find Hermione?" Ron asked

"Yep… But, you're telling her." Said Harry forcefully.

"Why me? I told you…" Ron argued.

"That's different." Harry shot back.

"How? I thought you were going to choke on your bloody saliva or whatever else has been in that mouth of yours," said Ron slyly.

"Out of line man. Out of line," said Harry while punching him playfully.

"Let's go."

Meanwhile

Urgh! Sometimes they are so insensitive. I mean, I love them like brothers… Okay, maybe not so much as a brother about Harry… But still, way out of line. As I walked through the corridors leading to the library I came across Pansy.

"Okay, Granger, normally I wouldn't be speaking to someone like you… I don't want to get a bad reputation… I mean, what would people say if I like, starting hanging with you," she punctuated that with an obviously fake, loud giggle, "But, I'll just cut to the chase, have you seen my Drakie? I can't find him anywhere."

"Number one, Parkinson, I wouldn't want to be seen speaking to you either, I don't want to get a reputation for hanging out with a slut. And number two, if I saw your 'little Drakie' I wouldn't tell you. Just for the small satisfaction to see you and him both miserable… although I really don't know why he would go for you except for the fact that he's an arrogant, horny little shit," and with that I pushed her out of the way and kept on walking.

"You'll be sorry for that! I'll make you pay!" Pansy screamed out with everyone watching her as she lost her composure.

God, she's a bitch… Though it doesn't really bother me anymore. I've gotten used to it.

As I walk into the library I hear someone say behind me, "Fancy meeting you here."

"Oh, hey Lavender. How are you?"

"yeah, I'm ok. Have you seen Ron?" she asks.

"Ummz… No, not recently… Last time I saw him he was eating breakfast. Why?"

"I should've known… Not exactly out of character, huh?" we both laughed, " I just wanted to ask him something. No biggie… I just wanted to know if he'd be my partner for tomorrow."

"Why? What's happening tomorrow?" I asked.

"Didn't you know? Well, we'll be starting a poetry class… That's great and everything but it'll be with the Slytherins." She explained.

"Oh crap… This is a disaster… What's the bet that someone will use this as an excuse for the whole 'secret admirer' thing." I say, while grinning at the expression on Lavender's face.

"Yeah… funny… Anyway, I'll see you later." With that, Lavender hurried off.

Sometimes people are so easy to read. Well, I doubt Ron will object to partnering her. I'll probably go with Harry. This should be fun… And interesting… Extremely interesting.
