After Hermione had had tea with Neville she headed for her favorite shop

Wrinkleman and Wilthan. It was an obscure little shop in Hogsmead that

carted many miss matched items, muggle and wizard from around the world.

She loved their wide selection of books. The door hissed as she slipped

inside and she breathed in the sweet smell of incense, old leather and spice.

A old man in a old fashioned blazer and visor was behind the bulky counter,

it displayed odd costume jewelry and playing cards through chipped class.

" 'ello 'ermione what can I do for you today?" said the man.

"Nothing just looking around." She responded. She headed for the musty

stacked bookcases at the back of the shop. Once there she plopped down in

the blue chair and breathed deeply. She reached under the

chair to find the book she had hide there for safe keeping the week before.

Her fingers found it and with a puff of dust it slide out. The cover read

Maggie Scrapes Guide to House Hold Items in Magic and she breathed

deeply. She was trying to find the chapter labeled Lysol: Cleaning Solution

or Toad Stoll Be Gone? When a book caught her eye. It's deteriorating red

velvet cover read Sensua Influenzo and Significant Company's Guide to

Black Market and More. Hermione frowned, one of the pages was torn out.
She bought it to the front and the man looked at it through amber tinted

spectacles. "Odd, this isn't one from our stock. Maybe that sweet girl who

came in here the other day left it. What was her name? Leslie, Linda,

Leyla…." "Was it possibly Lisa?" said Hermione urgently. "Why yes that

was it, Lisa. Such a darling young lady. She bought a vile that's just been

collecting dust for years now." He said, snapping his fingers which sent a

miniature cloud of dust into the air. "Well I'll be going b-bye now." Said

Hermione dashed out into the cool air, quilted coat flailing behind her.

Lisa was outside. Wearing a long coat that's muddy ends

trailed slightly in the snow, a pack of cigarettes were poking out of her bra.

"You have so pushed it this time Lisa Megew. A love potion!" Yelled

Hermione so loudly Lisa actually shrunk back a bit. "What are you talking

about Granger? I only supply the goods this was Ginny's idea." She hissed

as she blew a plume of smoke in Hermione's face. " G-g-ginny?" asked

Hermione. "How did you know anyway?" Lisa said still playing up the

"sweet angel me" angle. "You being the idiot you are left the index of the

book in so all

I had to do was look up the page you had ripped out. You got the potion you

wanted then dumped the book at Wrinklemans to get ride of it! Didn't you

didn't

you didn't you!" Yelled Hermione pointing a finger at her and jumping up

and down hysterically. Kids who had been walking by stared at her with

raised eyebrows. "aaha………………you've lost it girl." Said Lisa lighting

up another cigarette. But Hermione caught a hint of fear in her voice.

"Sensua Influenzo was sent to azcaban a year back for her writings on the

black market that book is banned Lisa!" Hermione yelled "Even if

Dumbledore doesn't ex spell you for a harmless little love potion he'll ex

spell you for possession of an illegal book!" She finished with a wide smile

across her face. "You don't have any proof!" retorted Lisa throwing her

head back as if speaking to the bird that had just flown overhead. In

response the bird promptly pooped on her shoulder. Hermione pulled a

piece of paper from her sleeve. HOGSMEAD COMMUNITY LIBRARY

then Lisa Megew were printed across it. "This should teach you to steel

from the library's restricted stock. How do muggles like myself say it oh yes

busted!" laughed Hermione as she ran away across the street. "You creten

get your ass back here." Yelled Lisa but Hermione was already out of

sight.

Hermione skipped towards Harry, a delighted grin on her face.He thought

as she skidded to a stop in front of him. Should I tell her now? " Harry did

you know that Ginny planted a love potion in me with the help of Lisa and

that's why I'm so despritely attracted to Neville? Isn't it great!" She blurted

out hopping from foot to the other like she needed to pee. What the hell?

"Um is that great because you found out you really like Neville so your

going to confess your undying love for him?" Asked Harry trying to hide

the worry in his voice. "No its great because know I can ex spell Lisa and

have a excuse to yell at Ginny!" She said. Harry let out a long sigh and got

up and faced Hermione. He placed both his hands on her shoulders and

started slowly "I can understand were your coming from with Lisa but don't

drag Ginny into this o.k." "But why she damn well deserves it Harry." She

said shaking loose off his hands. "My intensions were good I-I never

meant for it to go this far." Said Ginny stepping out from behind Harry.

Hermione noticed Harry staring lovingly at her and take her hand. "You

don't have a good reason for standing up for her do you. Your just doing it

because you like her isn't that right!" Said Hermione backing away from

them. "Hermione just understand, please!" Harry yelled holding out a hand

as if asking forgiveness. "How could anyone understand why there friend

won't help them in there time of need!" Hermione sneered in a low voice as

she turned and calmly walked away. Harry ran after her, his deep green

eyes searching for something within hers. "Mione come on. I think what it

is, is that you need to find someone maybe Neville's the one." He mused as

if the fight hadn't even happened mere seconds before. "Harry are you

saying what Ginny did is justified!" Squeaked Hermione. How can he do

this to me? "No, not at all it's just maybe your over reacting a little. Me and

Ginny while help you figure out how to turn in Lisa." He said with on hand

on her arm. "I don't need your help!" Hermione yelled shaking him loose

once more and darting in to an ally near by.

Hermione entered A unknown resteraunt wanting to get out of the

street before Harry caught up to her. Shit. Neville stood over a display

window of various green and pink pastries. Oh no. She had forgotten

the potion. Any second it's power would be to strong to over come.

Good god his abs are tight. NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOO. His hair stuck to

his head in a sexy, sultry way. NO IT DOESN'T, NNNNNOOOOOO.

Fight it Granger fight it! Yummyness to overpowering! Polyester

goodness to strong! Impossible to ignore! Impossible to fight! "Hey nevy."

NNNOOOOO! "Watcha' doin'" Hermione giggled curling a strand of hair

around her pinkie. Darn it! "O-o-oh hey Mione look I don't know how to

put this…….I'm breaking up with you." He said crossing his arms across

his chest (which was irresistibly sexy). "Excuse me!" Said Hermione who

was now blinking uncontrollably with her mouth open in a silent scream.

"Look you're a very sweet girl," He began leading (more like dragging) her

over to a chair. "I just need someone who's not so clingy. Here lets put it

this way," he said pulling a Hamburger from his plate, "you're the

hamburger and well………….Luna Lovegood is the steak." He winced as he

finished. Blink Blink "so your breaking up with me?" blink blink blink.

"Um ya you're a good kid you'll find someone." He said and as if on cue,

Luna came over and kissed him on the cheek. Blink blink. "Oh-my-god."

Hermione breathed. Blink. She let out a forced laugh of disbelief. "You

all a screwed up. Shesh!" She said and walked out laughing hystarically.

"Look who's living in Denial." Whispered Neville shaking his head and

Luna nodded.

Hermione was in The Great Hall thinking of what had happened the

day before. She tapped her pencil on her table and breathed in sharply as

Lisa waltzed up to it. "What the heck do you want." Muttered

Hermione. "Notin' I was just wondering were lover boy was." She hissed

through a smirk as wide as Niagara Falls. "The nerve!" Said Hermione

sincerely dumbfounded by Lisa's blunt sarcasm. She pushed away from her

desk and stared Lisa in the eye. Harry, who had been standing over Ginny

reaching for a book, hurried over to break up the brewing fight. Stepping

between them he said "Lisa, Hermione I think what we need is a trip to Dum

beledors office." He finished, maintaining his natural smile. The girls went

to either side of Harry, sneering at each other. Once at the "elevator" to

Dumbledor's office Harry said "cabbage green" as he waved his hand across

the passageway. The gold statue turned with a creak and stone steps

appeared. As they went up Hermione asked "How did you know the pass

word to Dumbeldor's office?" Without answering Harry but a hand to her

lips to quiet her and ushered them in to the office. "Dumbeldor there here."

He said to the figure cloaked in purple in the leather chair by the desk.

"Wait this was planned wasn't it that's how you knew the password!" Lisa

cried and made a break for the door. Harry rushed over and covered the

door. "Yes it was planned , Lisa. We have to figure this whole mess out,

and we're not leaving till we do!" He said with a nod of resolve. Lisa cried

out in exasperation and worry and walked back to the front of the desk.

"O.k. Granger! I admit it I gave Ginny the potion and planted the whole

idea in her head in the first place. I got the potion of the black market using

Sensua Influenzo and Significant Company's Guide to Black Market and

More which is a banned book. I obtained that book by steeling it from the

Hogsmead Community Library's restricted stock and golly gee I'm a down

right naughty little girl. Christ I am so through with this!" She some how got

out in one breath throwing her arms up as if Hermione were holding a gun.

Hermione and Harry stood with open mouth's and even Dumbledor looked a

little surprised. He got up and, taking his sweet time, made his way to Lisa's

side and placed his hand on her shoulder. " I'm so sorry my dear but you

leave me no choice but to call the Ministry." He finished shaking his head

like one of those bobbly head dogs for your car. Lisa shook her head the

same way and Hermione watched as a single tear rolled down Lisa's cheek.

Harry walked to her side and gave her a few pity pats on the back. To

Hermione's amazement Lisa didn't lunge at her with jaguar claws and try

to mutilate her, all she did was give her a nonchalant glance as fudge carted

her out the door for holding at the ministry. By that time it was about

midnight and it was all Hermione could do to lug herself back to the girls

dorm. Once there she dropped on her bed with a loud thug and completely

fell asleep, crumpled robes and all. In the morning she crawled into the

common room to find Ron, Harry and Ginny sitting there. Harry was

reading the Daily Prophet and Ginny was hanging of his arm like a leech.

Ron was looking at a potion's textbook, shaking his head with a VERY

confused look on his face. She sat down next to him. He was looking at the

title page. Hermione covered her mouth to keep from laughing and picked

up a copy of the Daily Prophet that was lying on the coffee table.

Hermione and Ron and Harry were walking through the woods by the

lake. Harry had finally convinced Ginny to go on the trip to Hogsmead with

Remora and Alexandra to give them some time alone. To Hermione's

horror she had only agreed when Harry had promised some alone time for

them later. Ew much. "So" Ron said as he ruffled his hair ackwardly "Harry

your, um, dating my sister……………..wow."He started pulling at his

fingers until Hermione was afraid he was going to pull them out of the

socket. "Well ya is that a problem?" Harry said doing the same thing as Ron

only with the neck of his sweater. "Well she's my sister." "We've

established that bit of information already Ronald just frickin' tell Harry

how you feel!" Hermione said.

O.K. I've got to stop. Writers block how cursed is thee! Oh well I think I finally figured out the spacing on this puppy. Yaaaa! Please please please! I need reviews you guys. Help a girl out here! Peace.
