Thank you the reviews. The only some-what bad one was from my aunt, but she just loves to tell me that I'm doing something wrong. I'm going to try and make this chapter longer, but I really can't make any promises on that.
Hermione soon went to the Gryffindor common room to see Harry and Ron. When Hermione entered the room she started asking about Ron's homework.
"You do know that the one for Snape is due tomorrow don't you? He'll give you a weeks worth of detentions for not having it done. I bet you haven't even started on it yet." Hermione exclaimed.
"Well, I've been really busy with other things, like Quidditch and Defense Against the Dark Arts." Commented Ron.
"At least one of those was important. I really don't understand why everyone thinks Quidditch is more important then classes are." Hermione stated. "I think you best start on that potions essay, Ronald Weasly. Harry and I can look over my Defense Against the Dark Arts essay and supervise you."
"I guess we could do that, but it won't make Ron work on his potions." Harry pointed out starting to read Hermione's essay.
"I wouldn't be surprised what he will do for a trip down to the kitchens." Hermione said.
"You sure are one clever witch, Hermione. I'll have this done in about an hour or so." Ron said getting to work.
"Good, now Harry I know this is a bit long, but it will have to do. You can look over half of it if you want."Said Hermione.
"Well, I'm quite a fast reader so it shouldn't take to long, I'm already about half way as it is. So far everything is right. Do you mind no talking for a while so maybe I can read it all?" Asked Harry.
"Yes Harry, I can. Hows that essay coming , Ron?" Hermione asked.
"Much better than I thought it would be. I've got about a quarter of a page to go, this essay wasn't so hard." Ron answered.
"Ok, good, in that case I'll be quiet for a few minutes and let you two finish up." Hermione added.
About 15 minutes later Harry looked up from the essay and delared that he was finished reading.
" What about you, Ron? You ready to go down to the kitchens?" Harry asked already knowing the answer.
"Yep, the essay is done and I'm ready to go." Said Ron jumping up and practicly running to the door.
" Not so fast speedy. It would be a good idea not to run down all the stair. Exspecailly the one that tend to change." Harry said holding in a small laugh.
They walked down the maze of stairs to the portrait of the fruit bowl. Hermione reached up and tickled the pear and stepped inside. House elves soon ran up to them presenting them with food and pumpkin juice. Dobby and Winky ushered them all to a small table in a corner. Ron automaticly began to dig in.
"Ron, if you don't slow down you're going to choke or make yourself sick." Hermione said looking disgusted.
"But Hermione." Ron started.
"Don't give me any buts, Ron." Hermione said sharply. "You better not eat too much because I'm expecting to get to bed sometime tonight."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you Hermione." Ron said grimly.
Half an hour later they trailed back up to the towers. Hermione bid her good-nights and went to read for a bit in her common room. She walked in to find Draco still awake and waiting for her.
"What took you so long?" He asked jokingly.
"Ron. I had to bribe him so he would get that essay done for Snape." She answered sleepily.
"Oh, I see. He was being lazy, as usual." Draco said.
"Not really. Can you promise me something?" Asked Hermione.
"Yeah, anything Hermione." Draco answered.
"I was hoping you could keep us a secret, I really don't want anyone to know. Ron and Harry Exspecailly." She said.
"Yeah, I will as long as you will." Draco promised.
"Thank you. Know I can go to bed and not have to worry about anything." Hermione said and retreated up the stairs to bed.
I sure hope that was OK and I slowed it down even more for my wonderful brat of an aunt. Of course I kind of thought it was better than the last. I'll try to get another chapter up today, if I dont I will have one up tomorrow. Thanx for reading and please review.
