I'm BACK! Lol. And so happy to be. I had a major case of writers block, but I lost it on my trip to NJ with my mum. It's a bit of a change, in the story I mean. But I think it's pretty good. You'd better review. I promise I won't take so long next time!

Hermione woke up the next morning remembering the ball last night. She got out of bed and gathered her clothes to take to the shower. As she walked out of Ginny's bedroom door she almost stepped on the colorful and delicate flower. She immediately recognized it as being one of the ones from the ball last night. She plucked the flower off the ground and brought it with her to the bathroom. After filling a small vase with water and putting the beautiful flower in it she stripped down and got into the shower.

Hermione reflected on the events of last night, from the two giant centaurs at the main doors, to dancing in Fred's arms all night. All in all she thought it was an eventful night, and couldn't wait to see Fred at breakfast. Hermione rinsed the rest of the conditioner out of her hair and grabbed a towel to wrap around herself. After changing into her clothes which consisted of a pair of black jeans, a tight Green Day concert tee, and her black converse high-tops, she applied her make-up. Hermione snatched the vase with her exquisite flower and headed back to Ginny's room to see if she and the rest of the girls were awake yet.

As Hermione walked out the bathroom door she heard Fred's voice coming from downstairs. She decided to go thank him for the flower and the wonderful night. Hermione was about half way down the stairs when she heard the voice of Alicia Spinnet. Hermione creped down a few more stairs so that Fred and Alicia were in sight.

"Fred, come on! We had something great going," Alicia said to Fred in a "innocent" voice.

'That horrid girl!' Hermione thought to herself.

"I don't know Alicia. I mean…." Fred said trailing off at the end.

"It's not like you're seeing anyone," Alicia said like she knew everything, "Please Fred, just give me a chance."

Fred took a few minutes before giving his answer….

"Fine, but this is only a trial thing," Fred said hesitantly.

The moment Fred uttered that single word Hermione heart felt like it had broke into a thousand pieces. Just like the glass vase with her flower in it. The shock from hearing Fred agree to go out with Alicia made her completely forget that she was holding a breakable object. The vase fell at what seemed to Hermione a lifetime. Her eyes went wide as the vase smashed to the ground. The defining silence that followed was enough for Hermione to realize that she had better run, lest she wanted Fred to see the tears streaming down her face.

Fred and Alicia turned around at the sudden noise that had come from the staircase. All Alicia could say was. "What a beautiful flower!"

All Fred could think of when he saw the glistening flower on the ground was.

"Hermione"
