"I wouldn't panic," said Harry, calmly, "you've probably just missed her somewhere. We'll find her."

Ginny nodded reassuringly and sat down next to her brother and boyfriend for dinner.

After they had finished, the trio retired to their common room where they found Hermione waiting, looking excited.

"There you are!" she said, breathlessly, "You'll never guess what's happened!"

"What?" Harry asked, just as Ron said "Where have you been all afternoon, Hermione?"

"I've been in Professor Dumbledore's office," explained Hermione, "he's offered me an apprenticeship to stay on after Hogwarts!"

"Cool!" exclaimed Harry,

"What as?" asked Ginny,

"Potions assistant," said Hermione, "I'm going to be working with Professor Snape for the next year,"

"Oh," said Harry, "are you going to be alright with that?"

"Yeah," replied Hermione, "I've spoken to Professor Snape and he's prepared to put our differences behind us,"

"That's good," nodded Harry, "you just tell me if he's nasty and I'll come and sort him out!"

Ginny giggled and then squealed. "That means we're going to be together for another year!"

"But you have to call me Ms. Granger," teased Hermione,

"Do you find him cute?" asked Ron, quietly.

Hermione turned to him. "No I don't. I'm sorry I said that before, it was thoughtless of me. Besides why would I think someone like Malfoy is cute when I have you?"

Ron's face broke into a smile and he held out his arms into which Hermione flung herself.

"I'm so sorry, Ron," she sobbed while Ron awkwardly patted her on the back.

"Shall I make a cup of tea?" muttered Harry.

Hermione and Ron broke apart, laughing while Ginny looked on, confused.

"Oh! I found a fanfic yesterday that was so funny, you have to read it Harry!" said Hermione,

"Alright, let's go now," decided Harry.

Five minutes later, Hermione had logged onto a computer, accessed her favourite stories area and clicked onto the story.

"Harry Potter and the Founder's Gift," read Harry, "right I have two hours before curfew so I'll give it a try,"

Hermione beamed and she, Ron and Ginny left Harry to it.

Harry burst into the common room and located his friends over by the fire.

"Here comes super powerful Harry to the rescue!" quipped Hermione.

They all laughed as Harry flung himself into an empty armchair. "Merlin!" he said, "that Muggle has a lot of imagination!"

"Yeah. Making you be able to apparate into Hogwarts and make a stunning spell kill people because you have so much strength!" said Ginny. (Hermione had filled the siblings in on the story).

"My personal favourite was me knowing all of the oriental karate movements…you know what they're called…and using them in the Final Battle and knocking Snape out!" Harry said,

"Not a bad idea," remarked Ron, before they all fell about laughing.

Thanks to Queenlover (hope the nosebleed is better otherwise you'll be all shrivelled up like an old peach), murgel, swiglo3000, littleflower2004 (the fic was just one I made up), Deannit (I'm honoured to be your first review), korrd (I take it you want a chapter with girl Blaise in?), VeryfirstMarauderGirl, Firesoulliz, preshuzz (I think it would be hilarious if Harry really was reading this), EvenstaroftheEast, HarryMioneSamJackLukeLorelai (I wondered what your name meant), miliaphire, I am a banana (oh I want a full marshmallow- - I expect the punctuation errors were because I was writing it very late and talking to my mate at the same time who is--- ), sharkiebeetle (it's about time you reviewed and you need to watch you spelling lol), Andromeda 'Andy' Black, Silver Sailor Ganymede, Nixinox, Wulffman and ( ).

I was really tempted to not update for a day at least and see what your reaction was but the Sims 2 crashed so I decided I'd update anyway. Yeah and this story doesn't follow HBP at all!

Review please. Constructive criticism is gladly received.
