Within the next week, Alison and Emma had thought of many brilliant, but rule-breaking ways to see each other. They had each bought invisibilty cloaks at a pawn shop by a hotel, in a place back in Canada called Kelowna. Emma and Alison told each other their house passwords and snuck into each other's dorms. Hermione Granger, the perfect prefect was constantly on their cases though, so Alison had to watch her back when she went to visit Emma. Hermione seemed to have not taken a liking to them ever since Harry started getting friendly with Emma. Everyone could tell that Hermione was jealous of Emma's relationship with Harry. She knew that she wasn't really the best looking girl around, and that Emma was really pretty. Hermione also knew that Harry had always talked about Emma in his and Ron's guys chats, thanks to Fred and George Weasley's extendable ears. Oh yes, she heard it all.

The moment that it all finally drove her up the wall was in herbology class that day, when Professor Sprout was handing back their reports on Heffalump trees. "97%?? Wha?? This must be a mistake!!" Hermione exclaimed.

"No, Miss Granger, you seem to have cut back in your studies. Your work wasn't as good as it usually is." Professor Sprout the walked up to Emma and handed her her report, "Excellent work Miss Hickey! Very well detailed."

"Wow! 100% on my first report in Hogwarts!" Emma leaned over and showed Alison, who just so happened to be there because it was a Gryffindor/Ravenclaw Herbology class. Alison smiled and the two girls went on with a conversation about their first week at Hogwarts, and how well they were doing.

Back in Alison's dorm, the two girls were having a girl talk. "Yeah, Alie, I love Harry to death, he's just the most adorable, sweet, and handsome guy I've ever known. You still haven't told me who this guy is that you like, so shoot."

"Ok, ok, you know that cute blond-haired guy in Slytherin? I think his name is Draco.."

"Are you serious Alie? Draco Malfoy? Harry's arch-rival?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Damn! Good choice! He's on FIRE!!"

"Ummmm..ok Emma...I think it's time for you to go.."

"Alright then, but wow, between you and me, we could have the two hottest guys in the school!"

"Sure, if no one gets to Draco before me, plus, that Hermione is a smart one, and she's really jealous of you and Harry, you know it. Everyone does."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. She can keep dreaming. We're both smarter than her. Silly Hermione. She probably hasn't had a boyfriend before. All the guys are afraid of her, seriously. She's crazy."

Back in the Gryffindor common room, Hermione and Ron were on the couch, all alone.

"Hermione?"

"Yes Ron?"

"Well, oh gee, how can I put this, let's just say..." Ron leaned over and kissed her.
