Here I am again! BTW, I never got to thank those people who wished me a happy birthday. So…thanks! I have two announcements. You probably all ready know that the next Harry potter book comes out in June, but the 4th movie comes out in November. Anyway…lets get started! (Cracks knuckles and stares at screen for 3 hours) AH-HA! I have an idea! BYE!

Harry and Ron whipped their heads around when they saw it fly into the common room, and then out the door of the Gryffindor house. They ran after it, hoping to catch up with it, but it went through the ground over by the library, and they didn't see it again. "Guys? What are you doing?" a voice said from behind them.

They both turned around and saw Hermione and Genevieve. They were both staring at them with raised eyebrows.

"Uh…you didn't see the shadow come in?" Ron said. Both of them shook their heads.

"We had better alert the teachers," Genevieve said as she looked at Hermione, who nodded. But they stopped when they heard a loud scream that stopped abruptly.

"It's coming from that way," Harry said as he began to run. The others followed him quickly. They then found themselves in front of the Hufflepuff dorm. All the teachers and the Hufflepuff students were there.

"What happened?" Hermione said softly. She began to wring her hands nervously.

One of the kids turned toward her with tears on her face. It looked like it was a second year. "The shadow thing came in…and took Justin," she said between sobs.

Hermione covered her mouth. Harry's eyes bulged. Ron put his arm around Hermione, who was beginning to hyperventilate. Genevieve furrowed her brow in shock.

"The teachers are so shaken up, but they don't know how it managed to get in." the girl said shakily.

"We know. It came in through the Gryffindor common room window." Harry said, as he began to push through the people. "Professor McGonagall, I know how it got in," he said to the stern looking witch.

"Well, Mr. Potter, how? How did that horrible thing manage to come in and kidnap one of our students?" she said quickly.

"It flew in through the Gryffindor window. We were about to come and tell someone when we heard the scream. We then followed it here," Harry said.

Professor McGonagall nodded, and then turned away. "We need to alert Mr. and Mrs. Finch-Fletchley (is that the name? I'm not sure) right away. It seems like another Chamber of Secrets episode," she said quietly to Dumbledore. She then turned to the students. "All right, back to your common rooms immediately!" she said, shooing them along. The crowd finally dispersed, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron found themselves back in the common room alone.

"I'm-I'm so scared," Hermione said shakily.

"I can't blame you," Ron said looking at Harry.

"I think what we need is to get our minds off this subject," said Harry. Ron and Hermione then nodded.

"Harry, how's your relationship with Ginny going?" Hermione said interested.

Harry shook his head. "We broke up yesterday. Seems she had been going out with a Slytherin for about 2 weeks before it," Harry said kind of upset. Hermione gave him I'm-sorry look, and Ron cleared his throat. Harry then shrugged.

"Well, I think I'm going to turn in for the night. See you later," Harry said as he stood up. He then walked away, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ron take his seat on the couch next to Hermione. He shook his head, and then walked up the stairs.

A little while later, he realized he needed to ask Ron a question about Quidditch practice tomorrow. He walked down the stairs, only to hear that Ron and Hermione were still sitting there talking.

"Ron, I don't know what to do," she said softly.

"Hermione, we have to tell him," he said quietly.

"But Ron, I don't want to hurt him. I don't think you do either," She said.

"Hermione…it is only fair to all of us. If we don't tell him soon, he'll be angry we didn't tell him earlier." Ron said strongly.

Harry heard Hermione sigh. He moved his head so he could see part of them. Hermione had her head on Ron's shoulder, and he was stroking her hair. Harry's eyes opened widely as he gasped.

"We'll tell Harry tomorrow…I promise." Hermione said. She stood up slowly, and he followed. He wrapped his arms around her slowly. She smiled as he did as well.

Hermione was so happy. Ron had finally shown he liked her somewhat. The only reason why she had always been cold towards him was because he was never nice to her. HE was the one who said she was a know-it-all. HE was the one that said she had mental problems.

But…he was the one she always went to, over Harry. He was the one who was wanted to slug Malfoy when he said he hoped she would die. He was the one who comforted her when they watched Buckbeak get slaughtered before they went back in time. And yet somehow, she never realized he had truly liked her, and she had truly liked him.

She walked along slowly towards the lake. She always enjoyed sitting there to do her homework. But she stopped when she heard "GRANGER!"

She spun on her heel surprised. It was Katie Bell calling from the Quidditch field. She walked over confused. "Are you coming?" she said.

"Why?" Hermione said confused. That other day was a one time thing, and Hermione hadn't made the team either.

"Weasley and potter didn't tell you, did they?" Katie said annoyed.

Hermione shook her head.

"WEASLEY! POTTER!" Katie said with her jaw squared. The two boys walked up. She turned to face them. "So…my words aren't important…right? Being the captain of the Gryffindor team doesn't matter right?" she said looking at her nails.

They both looked down. Katie turned to Hermione. She tossed her the Quaffle. "Welcome to the team, Granger. You're one of our new Chasers." Hermione's eye bulged.

"But…why? When I played, I thought you just needed one for tryouts. And besides, I fell off my broom!" she exclaimed.

"No, it was an accident, and I made potter polish all the brooms and ball for it, including bludgers." Katie said angrily.

Harry looked up. "Yeah, and I've got the bruises to prove it." Harry said.

Katie smiled. "Good! Now, are you coming?" she asked again.

Hermione smiled, and then nodded. She couldn't believe what was happening to her.

Hermione had had so much fun playing Quidditch. They had practiced, and she had to admit, it was hard work, but she had fun. She even scored twice against Ron. She was looking to their first game...against Slytherin. She wasn't looking forward to seeing Malfoy. She was in her room playing with Crookshanks by herself, when she heard eruptions of laughter come from below her.

She walked downstairs to see what it was about. She walked down the stairs when she heard familiar voices. "Come on…just say it," someone shouted.

"I hate her so much. Like, I know that she likes me and everything, but she is so annoying. She was all 'Ron! Ron…I don't know what to do!" someone said before she heard more laughter. She felt like she couldn't breathe.

She then heard the same voice again. She began to yank on the string of her light blue sweatshirt. "It was fun while it lasted. But now…am I glad it's over. I even had to hug her!" he said. She couldn't believe she had fallen for it. She knew the voice. It was Ron.

She stepped out from behind the wall in front of the staircase. With tears in her eyes, she saw Seamus, Dean, Harry, Ron, and Neville. They didn't notice her, so she cleared her throat. All of them except Ron turned their heads slowly, and saw her. Ron then turned and saw her standing there, tears streaming down her face, as his smile disappeared quickly.

Well that's all for now folks! I know Hermione seemed a little out of character, and so did Ron, but I'm not that good of a writer, so I'm sorry. I hoped you liked the ending of it, but don't worry, things will change in the end. DUN DUN DUN! BYE!
