Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, I'd have quit school a LONG time ago…

A/N: Oh wow, more reviews! This is so exciting.

Amrawo: Thanks! I'll try to update as often as possible.

Hotkat144: Me too. Lol. I'm just letting my fingers and keyboard lead the way.

IceColdShiva: Thank you. I thought It was going to be a lot harder than it was but it actually came quite naturally.

Lazyllama101: Like I said to amrawo, I try to get my chapters up as soon as possible.

Angelic Bladez: Oooo! Kudos to you! I'm liking that, however, I already just about finished this chapter but I'll put it in later, I promise.

For a moment, the three of us just stood there staring at the two teenagers, slack jawed and eyes bulging.

"Er…Hello," said the raven haired one.

Fortunately, this finally brought me to my senses and I returned to my usual calm and collected stance, even though I didn't necessarily feel that way.

"Oh, how rude of us. Sorry, we're new here"

"Yeah," Harry continued, catching on. "This here's Hermione Gr-"

"Grant." I cut him off, "Hermione Grant." Harry looked at me a little confused before going on.

"Yes, and I'm Harry Peltier-"

"And I'm Ron Warner" Ron finished, finally coming out of his trance.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm James Potter," said the black haired boy,

"And I'm Sirius Black," Said the dark haired one, giving me a small wink. I gave him a frosty smile.

"We were told to look for a man called Dumbledore," I told them, "Could you possibly help us find him?"

"I think we could" Sirius smirked "What do you think James?"

"It's definitely a possibility," James said with a matching smirk.

The two of them stared at us expectantly. It took me all of five silence filled seconds to figure out what they were up to. Well, two could play at that game.

"Well then," I replied, "Of course you can. But, then again, two fine gentlemen such as yourself would never stoop so low as to actually accompanying us there because, of course, that would take work, wouldn't it?" Harry and Ron looked at me bewildered.

James and Sirius were taken aback. I knew a simple "Well, would you?" would suffice, but I refused to let them have it for reasons still unknown to me. I expected James to start giving me some smart-ass remark as Sirius got left behind with Harry and Ron, but it was quite the opposite.

"Ah, it would." Sirius sighed dramatically, "And unfortunately, I'm not sure we're up to the kind of work 'accompanying' requires. However, with the right persuasion, I'm sure we could bring ourselves to lead you there."

"I see you two are the kind of people who like to put themselves above others. How arrogant." I.

"I know, isn't it great?" He said with a smug look on his face, "Anyways, I do believe we have places to go and people to see," He bowed so low; he was looking between his legs. When he stood upright once more, he held out his arm. "Shall we milady?"

I casually flicked a strand of hair over my shoulder.

"Yes, I believe we shall," I responded. I stuck my nose in the air and proceeded down the hall, leaving Sirius standing there, bewildered like the rest of them, with his arm still held out. I looked back over my shoulder. "You coming, boys?" I called back. They woke from their daze and started to hurry up after me.

"I see you're not one to be meddled with," Sirius commented as he caught up to me.

"Well," said Ron, "I'm impressed. It took me much longer to figure that one out."

They all laughed. I shook my head.

"When will you ever learn?" I sighed.

"Never," Sirius retorted, which sent them all into fits of laughter.

"Where is this so called Dumbledore's office anyways?" I asked, feigning ignorance.

"It's behind this extremely large and ugly gargoyle," James replied.

"Speaking of which," Sirius added, "We're here."

"Well, that is quite the ugly beast, isn't it?" Ron muttered.

"How do we get in?" Harry questioned, trying to sound convincing. I beamed at him. He winked back discreetly and then began prodding the statue. "Is there some sort of button?" he demanded.

I looked over at Ron who was biting his lip, hard, to try to stop himself from laughing. I, too, would have laughed, if the gravity of our situation was not as immense. It was quite amusing.

Sirius laughed, a whole hearted, deep laugh. "No, mate," he said as he dragged Harry away. "Everything here has a password."

I looked over at James who was looking at Ron suspiciously. Ron seemed to be failing miserably at holding in his laughter.

Then, suddenly, I heard Sirius bellow "Toothflossing Stringmints!" and a great, distant rumbling could be heard coming from what seemed like the depths of the castle and the gargoyle sprang aside as the wall behind it split in two. Behind the wall was a spiral staircase moving smoothly upwards, like an escalator.

"Come on, come on. Get on it," ushered James. The five of us stepped forwards and we begun to rise up slowly, higher and higher until finally, when I had begun to feel quite sick, I was able to make out a gleaming oak door ahead with a giant brass knocker in the shape of a griffon.

"Lady and gentlemen," Sirius bowed low, "Welcome to Professor Albus Dumbledore's nowhere near humble abode."

A/N: If that last part sounds slightly familiar, you should all know that it comes from the bottom of page 152 in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I sort of copied it a little. :D

Anyways, I hope you liked it. I'm so sorry it took so long to update, I've had so much to do lately.

You know what to do,
