The next few months went by rather quickly. They all had a lot of homework, but it was all fairly easy.

"Hey Hermione, wait up!" Ginny called after charms one day at the beginning of February.

"Yea Gin, what is it?"

"Well, you see, I was just wondering why you were so happy that day in Diagon Alley."

"I already told y..,"

But Ginny cut her off "no! I want the real reason"

"What do you mean the real reason?" asked Hermione slightly worried that Ginny might get mad if she told her the truth.

"I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and I couldn't get out of my room, that's what I mean, and you weren't in your bed.. so what was going on? And I want the truth." Finished Ginny.

"I just had a lot of fun at the celebration for Lupin and Tonks that's all. I don't know why you couldn't get out of your room, maybe you accidentally locked the door, and I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, so maybe that's where I was when you woke up. But I really don't know what you want me to tell you." Hermione explained.

"Hermione this is ridiculous I have known you for years now and I know that you are lying to me, you never look me in the eyes when you are lying and also I was up for almost an hour trying to get out of my room so I know that you weren't in the bathroom for that long, why cant you just tell me where you were or what you were doing or whatever." Ginny said started to get annoyed that Hermione wouldn't tell her the truth.

"Listen Gin, I've gotta go to DADA now so I'll talk to you later, bye." And with that Hermione ran off before Ginny had a chance to respond.

"What's going on with you and Ginny?" Ron asked Hermione a few days later in the common room before bed.

"I don't know what you're talking about, we're fine."

"Don't lie to me Hermione, you haven't talked to her in days and when we see her in the corridors you come up with some excuse to walk the other way."

"Oh that," said Hermione, "well I ran into her the other day after charms, and she started asking me about New Year's Eve. See she tried to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and she couldn't get out of her room and she noticed that I wasn't in my bed. I mean she has some good points. She said she was up for an hour trying to get out of her room, so she knows that I was lying when I said that I was in the bathroom. I hate lying to her Ron."

"Oh, umm well I don't really know what you should tell her, I mean we can't tell her the truth, she would kill us." Replied Ron starting to look worried.

"Wait a minute, didn't Ginny drink some of the punch?" asked Hermione looking very worried.

"Yea, why what's wrong with that?" answered Ron looking confused.

"Well you put the sleeping potion in the punch, so Ginny should have been asleep all night, but she woke up. Ron what would have happened if your parents woke up! Where did you get that potion? It was obviously a fake!"

"But.." started Ron not knowing what exactly to say.

"You can't talk your way out of this one Ron! Your parents could have woken up earlier and come down to the kitchen and saw us asleep on the table. NAKED! Oh my gosh! I don't know what we are going to do. We need to find out if they woke up."

"The only way to do that is to tell Ginny the truth and find out what time she woke up. And to answer your question I got the potion from a shop in Hogsmeade before break." Exclaimed Ron.

"OK, well I will have to tell Ginny what really happened, hope that she will forgive me for lying, and hope that she will help us."

"Why wouldn't she help us?" asked Ron. "Ginny is always willing to help you with anything."

"Ron we had sex on your kitchen table! I don't know how well she is going to take that! After all that is where you eat all of your meals when you are at home." Said Hermione as she headed up to the girls dormitories, "I'm going to bed I'll see you in the morning."

"G'night," said Ron as he kissed Hermione on the cheek and headed up to bed himself.

A/N: sorry that this chapter was really short, I had it planned to be a lot longer but then I decided to chop it in half so I could let you know I would be updating a lot more often now, and hopefully be getting this story done within the next few weeks.
