"Stop laughing, you two!" yelled Ron,

"O…Okay," spluttered Hermione, "we're sorry, it was just so funny…mpreg!"

The girls dissolved into laughter once more.

Harry and Ron waited impatiently for them to calm down. After five minutes had passed and they didn't seem to be showing any sign of stopping, the boys went back onto the computer to see if any new stories had appeared.

"No, it's still all the same," said Harry,

"Oh," said Ron, casting an irritated glance at the still chortling girls, "so, do you want to get our own back on them and search for rather odd pairings involving them?"

"Alright," said Hermione, with a grin.

They selected Hermione's name first and browsed the list of available stories.

"HG/RW, that's you, Ron. HG/HP…erm yeah," said Harry, quickly moving the page down,

"Ha! Look at this. HG/DM! Like Hermione would really go out with that slime ball!"

"He's quite cute actually," came Hermione's voice,

"What?" roared Ron, furiously.

"MR. WEASLEY. THIS IS A LIBRARY. GET OUT, OUT!" roared Madam Pince, equally as loud.

Ron cast a disgusted look at Hermione and marched out, his head held high.

Hermione bit her lip. "Oh no."

"Give him some time to cool off," advised Harry, "shall we look for odd pairings involving you, Ginny?"

"Alright," replied Ginny, eagerly.

Harry ran a search and looked down the list of fanfics available.

"GW/HP. That's us," said Ginny. She kissed her boyfriend gently on the forehead.

"GW/DM. That's all of us paired with Malfoy. Eww!" said Harry.

"Muggles have such active imaginations," commented Hermione, from behind them,

"What's that next one say?" asked Ginny, peering at the screen,

"GW/HG. Femslash," read out Harry.

The two girls froze and stared at one another.

"That's disgusting," said Ginny,

"Yep," said Harry,

"Muggles are so stupid," said Hermione, "Do they get their kicks off writing horrible stories about us?"

"Hermione, they think we're fiction characters," said Harry,

"So? How would they like it if I started writing nasty stories about them and posting them. Damn Muggles!" Hermione choked back a sob and ran out of the library.

Harry and Ginny looked at one another and grimaced.

"Is it just me or do they both take things too seriously?" sighed Harry,

"Yeah," said Ginny, "do you reckon we'd better go and speak to them and find out what's wrong?"

"Good idea. I'll take Hermione. You take Ron,"

"OK," Ginny nodded and after logging off the computer, the duo separated to find their friends.
