A/N: Hey everyone! This chapter might be a little bit boring, but I'm saving a part for the next chapter. And I might add a little part of Harry's side to the next chapter too. If I don't it'll probably be in the chapter after that. Mmkay? Sound good? Goooood.

"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter, are you two paying attention?" Professor Severus Snape snapped, as he usually did.

"Yes Professor Snape" They both said glumly at the same time, pausing their game of tic-tac toe.

"Okay then, if you two were so focused, what is the one ingredient that you can't put with the Eagle Talon and the Chunp Plant acid?" Snape tested them, fully knowing that they would most likely not know the answer.

But as usual, Hermione struck her hand into the air, of course knowing the rightful answer. But Snape rarely called on her anyway. "Put your hand down Ms. Granger," he commanded turning his attention back to Harry and Ron.

Finally, after a long awkward silence, Ron answered, "….Marsh mellows?". Harry just hit Ron's should, Hermione groaned inwardly, and Luna…had a dreamy look in her eye? 'Weird…' Hermione thought.

"Well, even a nimrod would know that's the wrong answer" Snape said, his eyes turning into slits. "Detention, both of you. This Friday night. For…playing tic tac toe."

Hermione finally decided to stand up for them. "But we didn't even learn about those things today!"

"Ms. Granger" Snape started saying as he turned to face her. "You are to join them for speaking out of turn." Hermione opened her mouth to say another thing, but Luna next to her nudged her stomach to signify not to make it worse.

But the only thing Hermione could think about was a Friday night with Harry. And Ron of course. 'But more importantly Harry' her mind added.

…………………………………

As soon as they got out of class Hermione said, "Ugh, I hate that Snape. It's not fair that they were questioned like that on a subject we haven't even learned yet! And he gave me detention to!"

"Calm down Hermione" coaxed Luna as they headed for lunch. "You know how Snape is. You'll probably forget this whole ordeal in two days." As soon as they entered the hall, Hermione dropped the subject. For now.

Quickly, Hermione's eyes led to Harry, only to find Cho openly flirting with him. She tried to hide her jealousy, she started to shuffle a load of food onto her plate.

"Geez, Hermione, planning to go into hibernation?" Luna joked with a raised eyebrow.

Hermione shrugged. "No, I just had a small breakfast and I just happen to be hungry. Is that a problem?"

"Nope, it's just…not you."

Hermione did her famous sigh and eye roll as she took a bite of her meal and glanced back over at Harry at Cho. Seeing Harry smiling and Cho giggling did not make her very happy. Then Cho looked over and gave her a smug look.

'Oh no…Oh no she didn't just give me that look!' Hermione thought with a scandalized look on her face.

"Umm, are you okay Hermione?" a fellow 7th year Ravenclaw, Mandy Brosthrow asked.

Hermione couldn't help but turn red for being caught and replied a quick no and returned to her food. Luna just gave her a strange glance and followed her example.

About ¼ through her meal, Hermione was suddenly full. "I think I'm going to go to the library a bit before Herbology."

"Alright" Luna replied, mind obviously somewhere else. It looked like she was just daydreaming. Hermione gave her one last look and walked out of the great hall.

Halfway there, someone came up to Hermione and pushed up against her shoulder, enough the make the books in her hands fall out. When Hermione looked to see who, it had of course, been Cho.

"Sorry, not" Cho said in a snobbish way, looking down at Hermione in distain as she picked up her books. Hermione just looked up at her and glared at her to go away, but Cho didn't move.

"What do you want?" Hermione asked coldly, no longer wanting her there.

"I just wanted to set some ground rules" Cho said, getting to the point. Ignoring Hermione's face expression, she continued. "Harry is mine. Okay? I saw you in there trying to look at him. Well, don't. Someone of his status would not be interested in someone like you. Got it?"

Hermione's face got red with anger. It was one thing to knock her books down (library books, may I add!), but to set these 'ground rules'? Ohh, no. "Well, don't worry Chang. I'm not interested in Potter. And I don't really know what 'look' you're talking about. You need to get some glasses because you're obviously seeing things." And without waiting for Cho's response, she stormed off heading for the library.

All through the rest of the day, Hermione couldn't stop thinking about what Cho had said. What did she mean by 'someone like me'? 'Am I really that…booky-ish?' she thought. 'or is it just Cho trying to get to me…again?' By the time dinner was over and she and Luna were in the common room, she just had to get an opinion. And who other to get an opinion from their best friend?

"Luna?" Hermione said, glancing across the table at her.

"Yes?" Luna replied, not bother to look up from a problem she was working on.

"Am I…extremely…bookish? Like, extremely?" Scolding her self for her lack of vocabulary, she silently awaited Luna's reply.

"Hermione, where did this come from?" Luna sighed . This wasn't very Hermione like. Hermione wouldn't care what other people thought, only if she was comfortable with it.

"No where. I was just wondering." Hermione lied. She knew if she told Luna that Cho told her, she would have said it's just Cho and to ignore it. And anyways, she wanted a real opinion.

"Not really Hermione. You aren't as bad as you were in your second year as far as I'm concerned. You just happen to be a very intelligent person that happens to study and get good grades. You're not even that bookish" Luna comforted, hoping this had solved her friend's problem.

Luna's had been right, for Hermione relaxed as she thought about what she had said. 'Ha, of course. Anyways, why should I think about what Cho said' She thought. Then now all she had to worry about was the detention with Harry tomorrow evening…
