Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but Jo Rowling does! 

A.N. hey  I hope that it's not to short I wanted to make it longer but I wasn't sure how fast I could spit out the next chapter  so here it is 

Hermione opened her eyes. It didn't feel like she walked through anything, but she had a weird feeling the pit of her stomach. She was forced to ignore her feeling when there was a knock at the bathroom door.

"Hello? Who's in there? Me and Pavati need the mirror to do out make-up!" Lavender yelled from the other side of the door.

"It's me, sorry." Hermione said as she opened the door. The two faces hiding behind the door looked surprised.

"Hermione? Are you feeling okay?" Lavender asked her.

"Yeah, I feel great. Why are you guys up so early? I don't think I've ever seen you awake before the sun's up." Hermione said cheerfully and then she walked passed them and into the hallway to make her way down the cold, stone steps to the common room.

She could see the small flame in the fireplace was dying and common room was dimly lit. It was empty except for one person who was facing the fire in puffy armchair. Just from the top of their head she immediately knew who it was.

"Hi Ron." She said quietly walking over to him. He turned around with a surprised but happy look on his face.

"Hey Hermione." He said watching her as she sat down the armchair opposite him. "What are you doing up so early?"

"Oh, I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd come down and read some." She explained to him. "How about you?" She noticed that he wasn't making constant eye contact. He'd look down at his hands and then back up at her for a second, and then back down again.

"Well, you know me. I hate sleeping in." He smiled and she smiled back at him.

Hermione had almost started to laugh at the thought of Ron waking up early, but decided she had best not. She didn't want to offend him or make him think that she was making fun of him. She knew what it felt like. She didn't like it and didn't want him to have to go through it like she had every year. It was silent after that until Ron spoke again.

"So are you going to Hogsmeade with Harry again tomorrow, or well today?" He said forgetting that it wasn't night and just really early in the morning.

"Of course, all three of us right? Why do you say just me and Harry?" She asked him sounding confused.

"That's just how it's been lately, you know, with you and Harry going out." When Ron said this he almost sounded hurt, but attempted to cover it up. Hermione felt her face go white. She couldn't believe that she was going out with Harry. She liked him, but no that way, never that way. They were just friends and nothing more. Those words just kept resounding in her mind, 'you know, with you and Harry going out.' She must've not responded after a while because Ron started to call her.

"Hermione? You in there?" He said laughing and waving his hand in front of her face.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry." She too started to laugh and then said, hoping she was right, "I must've zoned out, you know me, can never pay attention for more than five minutes." He laughed and she joined in a second later, glad that she was right about her double.

"So then, we're all going together?" Ron asked happily.

"Yeah, I really miss having you around." Hermione said touching his arm. After she said this she swore that she saw Ron's ears turn a deep shade of red. She bowed her head and tried to hide her wide smile. She had to admit, he was really cute when he looked at her like that. It was like he was a whole new person.

But soon she realized that this wasn't Ron, well it was, but not her Ron. Though she had to think how nice it was not to always be arguing about stupid little things, but actually talking.

"So what book are you reading?" She asked him noticing quite a thick one on his lap.

"Oh." He looked down at it. "The History of House Elves." "You do?" He said sounding surprised. "He picked up the book and showed her the cover. "I just think that they shouldn't be treated as they are now, like they don't even have feelings. It's horrible."

Hermione, who was excited that someone finally felt the same way she did about house elves, said. "I feel exactly the same way!" She stood up and resituated herself in the red armchair, now sitting on her feet looking extremely interested.

"I never knew you were into freeing the house-elves."

"Yeah, I just don't think they're being treated right." She said back to him smiling, they even supported the same things.

About five minutes later the portrait hole swung open. Ron and Hermione both wondered who it could be that early in the morning. Harry came walking into common room with his firebolt and dressed in his Quidditch robes. He said hi to Ron and then walked over to Hermione, and against her will he leaned down and kissed her. This was something that Hermione was definitely not looking forward to and was hoping to try to avoid him until she could talk to her double later that day. He pulled away and Harry talked about his morning. It seemed like all he was doing was talking about himself. Not once did ask either Ron or Hermione how they were or how there morning was going. After talking for about 10 minutes about his practice and how many times he caught the snitch, he said he was going to take a shower and then go and have some breakfast. Once Harry was gone Hermione started to talk to Ron again.

"So, have you ever thought about forming a group to give the elves a better life?" Ron lit up when she said this and he smiled then said, "That's a really good idea Hermione, we could call it, …" He thought for a moment, "The House-Elf Liberation Front." Once again She almost burst out laughing, but it was way harder to keep in. She did accidentally let a small giggle slip, but Ron didn't notice because he was to busy scribbling down ideas for their new group.

One thing was for sure Ron was still Ron.

An hour soon passed and it was now light outside. Just as Hermione stood up to go to the mirror, Harry came down and dragged her out of the common room down to breakfast before she could object. As they were walking down to breakfast, with Ron and Ginny following closely behind them, Hermione wondered how her double was doing her world.
