"I'm starving!" Ron exclaimed as he and Harry sat down in the Great Hall the next day. "I'm so glad it's dinner."

As Ron started piling food onto his plate , Harry looked around the table."Where's Hermione? She hasn't been to breakfast or lunch. and she didn't show up for any classes today."

Ron bit into his potato and shrugged " I don't know you think she's still pissed about last night?"

"I wouldn't doubt it," Ginny said sitting beside Ron "Besides you were being an asshole and saying some pretty nasty stuff."

"Well she usually takes it any other day." Ron said sadly.

Harry sat up "Sadly enough that's true but that 's just it she sad something this time so that means something is wrong with her."

Ginny threw up her hands up "This is exactly what I was talking about!"

Ron and Harry both looked at her. "Remember what I said yesterday? P.M.S.?"

Ginny shook her head "So I guess you guys didn't ask anybody yet did you?"

They continued to look at her like she was weird. Ginny turned away "Yeah, I'm gonna leave now."

Harry turned to Ron "Do you think we should actually ask someone?"

Ron opened his mouth and closed it again then opened it and said "It does seem like a good idea."

They both stared at each other again. "Since you really want to know about Hermione." He teased Ron.

"Dude, shut up." Ron told him.

Harry drank down some pumpkin juice and bust out laughing. "And since when have you been saying 'dude?'"

Ron mocked his laughing "Since I saw this thing called a movie thingy that Hermione brought on the train."

Harry shook his head and laughed some more at Ron. "At least you added a new word to your vocabulary."

"Very funny." Ron told Harry. "Okay, if you really want to ask somebody then we should shake hands on it."

Harry looked at him funny and finally said "Sure, but why are we shaking on it?"

"So you don't bail out or something."

Harry sallowed his food " Yeah, like I'm the kinda person to bail out."

Ron grimaced at him "That's true."

So they decided that after they finished dinner they would go find somebody to ask.

They walked out of the Great Hall and looked at each other. Both were thinking the same thing. Who would they ask?

"Maybe we should a female." Ron said looking down the hall. "Like . . . " Then he spotted somebody and pointed, "Like her!"

Harry looked at who he was talking about and realized she was 3rd year Gryffindor he had seen around the common room.

"Okay" Harry said reluctently.

"Come on!" Ron said walking to were the girl was standing. When they walked up to her she looked dumbfounded as to why 6th year boys were walking up to her.

"Hi, what are you doing?" Ron asked her.

She looked at him weirdly. "Well, I'm sorta standing here waiting for my friends." she answered him sarcasticly.

"Hey don't talk to me like that I'm a prefect!" Ron raised his voice.

She gave him a dirty look. "And that is suposed to mean something to me?"

Ron opened his mouth again but Harry interrupted him, " Shut up Ron. We need to ask you something." he told her.

"Yeah, " Ron said "We want to know what . . . P.M.S. is ."

Her mouth dropped open. "Excuse me? And you're supposed to be a prefect?" She started to walk away from them looking horrified. " I sure hope you don't have a girlfriend." she walked to her friends and looked away.

" So does that mean you're not gonna help us?" Ron yelled her.

Harry answered for her. "I think that's a no."

"Well, since she's being so rude I think we'll find somone else to ask."

They continued to ask a couple of more girls and started to give up hope when Ron saw somebody and decided they needed to ask an older woman.

"Ha!" Ron said loudly suprising Harry. "That's who we should ask!" He pointed to her.

Harry jumped when he saw who he was talking about. "Professor McGonagall? Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"Hey, since she's an 'older' woman she would know about it more than anybody."

Harry agreed with him. So they walked over to where she was.

"Well, hello boys I hope your resting up for that Quidditch match in a couple days." She told them when she saw them.

" Of course Professor." Harry answered. "And we needed to ask you a question."

McGonagall looked slightly suprised. " Yes?"

" You see Professor, " Ron began slightly worried "We wanted to know about . . . well we wanted to know about P.M.S. "

McGonagall jumped so suddenly that her hat almost fell off. She seemed so shocked that she was speechless.

Harry knew at once that this was a mistake and would hit Ron the moment they were alone.

"Weasley, Potter why on earth would you want to know about that?" she scolded them.

They both looked up at her without an answer.

"Well, I'm sorry but you're going to have to ask somebody else. More like a gentleman." She told them.

They both apologized for bothering her and stalked off.

"Once again we were exteremly sucessful!" Ron said in mock happiness.

" Look at the brightside at least we know not to ask a woman." Harry pointed out.

"Yeah, but the question is who to ask?" asked Ron.

Both thought about it for a moment and started to walk up to Gryffindor tower feeling hopeless when Harry thought of . . .

"Lupin!"

Ron turned to him. "Of course! Why didn't I think of that?"

So they both decided to walk to to his office. Yes, Remus Lupin had decided to return to his position of Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. (yay!)

They got to his office door and knocked. "Come in. " Lupin replied. He looked up to see who it was and smiled.

"Oh, Harry, Ron please come in.Sit down. How may I help you?"

"Um Professor, we wanted to know what exactly P.M.S. was." Ron asked him.

Harry excepted him to blow off his top like McGonagall did but instead he looked very thoughtful.

He was silent for a moment and finally spoke "Well, you see boys what that stands for is Premenstural Syndrome.

And what it does is that it makes a woman very emotional. One minute she may be happy the next sad or the next very angry and grouchy.You see it comes once a month before . . ." Lupin broke off. "I'm sorry boys that's about all I can tell you now."

When he looked at them both they had their mouths open and looked very scared. Then Ron stood up and said "Thank you for telling us Professor. I'll be leaving now."

Harry got up too. "Yes thank you Professor. See you next class."

"Wait a minute, " Lupin stopped them:"Which one of you wanted to know this?"

Harry laughed "Well actually it was Ron. He just wanted to know what was going on with Hermione."

"Harry shut up!" Ron said to him.

"Oh, I see. Um . . . Ron can I see you tomorrow after dinner?" Lupin asked Ron.

"Sure Professor." He answered glaring at Harry.

Then Harry and Ron both turned and walked out feeling completly dazed about what they just had heard.
