Another FAQ Thingy…
Why is this story irrelevant to the fifth Harry Potter book, some parts are, but NOT in order?
Because I have a bad memory, but still want to put Harry Potter events from the book. Just don't worry about it (Or about me spoiling the book for those who haven't read it. But personally, I like spoilers for one thing: They make me ahead of other people. But I doubt anyone hasn't read it and read this story and actually mind.)
Why does your story sucks?
If you think my story sucks, stop reading it. But maybe you could recommend it?
Why do you love reviews so much?
Because they let people say what they think of my story, so I can edit it.
Why is he/she out of character?
Probably because I don't know the character well, or he/she doesn't match my style of writing.
How many Harry Potter books have you read?
All except the sixth, which my friend will eventually lend me, but I'm not a crazy fan. I have been for the past weeks a bigger fan than usual, but this is my usual fad phase. I read most of the books only once, and previously the fifth one for the second time, so I've got a good-enough memory of it. Only because this time I didn't speed read like I always do and took my time. I watched all the movies except the Goblet of Fire, out on November. The official website has a teaser trailer and some pictures.
How come you write so good?
If you asked that question, I LOVE YOU! I can't believe people are actually reading this story right now!
Will you answer my questions?
Yes, send me an email, only to
Why is the story going against what I want?
Because apparently some other people want the story to go this way. You can't have everything you want in life you know…
Would you still update if we didn't review?
Yes! I enjoy writing very much, and I just hope that others would enjoy reading it. Doesn't matter if you don't review, but I LOVE REVIEWS I might make an effort to update faster though. Reviews can contain questions, constructive critism, praises, how you want the story to go on and so on… but pretty much, anything but flames, since I find it rude and obnoxious when people do that. It's one of the major causes when authors delete their stories, if they only received flames.
Note about the Polyjuice Potion: Let's pretend we can just make it instantly with Blaise's superb Potions skills shall we?
'Harry! Wait!' I yelled across to him. He finally turned around.
'What's up 'Mione?' he goes.
'Don't call me that!' I reminded. I think I want him to stick with Hermione…
'Okay… what's up Hermione?' Harry asked once more.
'You don't need to repeat the question! Harry, I have a BIG favour to ask you, a REALLY big favour…'
'Sure… what is it first?' Harry questioned me. Drats, can't he just say yes straight away without knowing what he's doing?
'I need you to pretend to be Zabini and go out with me…'
'WHAT! What would you need that for?' Harry exploded. Everyone looked towards us, and whispered things like "Potter's jealous…" or "Don't tell me Hermione's over Blaise…"…. Rumours…
'You see… this is one of my foolproof plans to return everything to normal. You drink a Polyjuice potion to pretend to be Blaise and continuously go out with me that people get sick of watching us. Then Slytherins and Gryffindors will fight, and everything will be restored to normal.' I explained. He made a face.
'What if the potion's messed up? Not only that, I think it's great that the Slytherins and us are actually being in the same room without causing any trouble! I found out that lots of them have the same interests as me… isn't that cool? No, I won't do it Hermione!' Harry objected. I sighed.
'I didn't want to go through this…' I threatened. He gasped. 'You wouldn't…'
'Oh yes I would…' Then I kind-of sneered.
'Remember the time I got you out of Potions homework? Remember the Arithmancy technique that I told you? Remember the time I covered for you so you can play Quidditch? Remember the time I helped you with that spell? Remember the time I helped save Sirius? Remember the time you really sucked at Transfiguration without MY help? Remember the time…' I continued.
Harry was covering up his ears. 'Alright, alright! I'll do the darn thing!' I grinned widely.
'Thank you Harry. And if the potion's messed up, blame Zabini, since he's the one making it and all…'
'WHAT! You left HIM in charge of the potion? I might as well turn into a rat!' Harry mocked.
'Don't be rude! But I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even start yet…' I admitted. Then I went off to find Zabini.
I sighed. I couldn't find him anywhere! I walked over to Daphne Greengrass, SGU Leader of Slytherin Number One.
'Hey, Greengrass, have you seen Zabini?' I asked. She nodded.
'Yes, he went to that corridor to the right, and just call me Daphne from now on, Hermione!'
'Uh… thanks… Daphne…' I thanked. Then she sort-of squealed in delight. Me, being freaked out, walked off to find Zabini. Then I found him… at an abandoned classroom.
'So… Zabini… how's it going?' I asked, entering the empty room.
'Pretty well, actually. When I said I was doing EXTRA research, Snape let me take anything in his Potions cupboard. Pretty cool, huh? Never knew it was that easy! I'm making it here tonight, so bring Potter along.'
'Yeah… for YOU…' I muttered. How can Snape be more unjustice, leaving me to bare with stealing the ingredients?
'What? Why is it hard for you?' Zabini asked.
'I can't exactly imagine Snape just handing over all my ingredients…'
'Well… here you go Granger, mix it up.' Zabini picked up all the items, and tried to hand it to me.
'What? You mix it, Zabini. You're in charge of the potion…'
'That wasn't in the deal!' Zabini objected.
'Well… maybe you should've known better than to make a deal with a brainy "Gryffindork"!' I teased, then walked away.
Zabini just made a sort-of "O" with his mouth, then shortly gaped widely. Then if I known better, I swore I just saw him pointing up his middle finger… I turned around.
He put his hand behind his back, and whistled innocently. Then Zabini pretended he just saw me. 'Oh, Granger, you're still here? Hi!' Then he waved, and sneered.
I just walked off, leaving him snickering and giggling all by himself, that jerk! Then I went off to find Harry, and tell him the "good" news.'
'He did WHAT!' Harry yelled. 'How can Snape be so unfair?' he questioned.
'I know Harry… Snape have always been unfair…' I told him.
'So… the potion's ready now?' he asked. I nodded. 'Tonight, that's what Zabini says...'
'It isn't the greatest tasting potion…' he continued. I looked towards him.
'I know… I drank it too, remember? Only I wouldn't be surprised if Zabini put a dog fur inside his potion instead of his hair… they look the same…' I confessed.
'… Or to actually turn me into a big giant dog…' Harry suggested.
'Come on Harry, no fifth-year, even Zabini, or the Great Bouncing Ferret is THAT immature!'
'One thing, Hermione… how will you get hold of a Slytherin robe?'
Ah, that was one thing I took care of. 'I already got one.' I said. Then I pulled out my wand, and said some spells that confused Harry a bit… well, a lot.
Suddenly a Slytherin robe appeared out of thin air. I grinned with pleasure, as another one of my marvellous spells worked out fine again.
'I think it's your size too!' I almost squealed. I just love it when I get things right…
'Don't tell me you've stolen the robe off Zabini!' Ron said as he walked over to us.
'Don't be so immature Ron, I made this!' I told him. Then he sat down. I hmph!-ed him and crossed my arms.
'Hey, 'Mione. I'm sorry I got all angry and stuff about you going out with Zabini. I believe you when you say you're not dating Zabini.'
'Apology accepted firstly, but don't call me 'Mione. Secondly… ahem, I –am- going out with Zabini…' I lied. I mean about dating Zabini, I really accepted his apology.
Suddenly Ron turned red. Or a funny shade of purple. Or both, but then he kept himself steady… that's a major improvement for Ron.
'YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH ZABINI! WHY?' Ron yelled. Everyone looked towards us. The plan is working out well… I just knew Ron would spread the lie…
'Shush about it, Ron! We just started to…' I whispered to him. He frowned.
Then he whispered back. 'But why?'
'Uh… I like bad boys and turning them good…' I lied. Ron gaped his mouth widely.
'Never knew you were THAT type…' Harry said. I caught the sarcasm in his voice, but apparently Ron didn't.
He walked off, muttering things like "I don't believe it" or of the sort. Then I turned to Harry.
'Why didn't you tell Ron?' he questioned me with disbelief.
'Not to offend or anything, but most of our previous secrets told to Ron spread like wildfire, remember?' I reminded him.
(Hermione's Flashback)
'You have a crush on Seamus Finnigan? I can't believe it!' Ron said, surprised. 'Don't worry about me, I won't tell anyone.' Ron tried to assure me. I wasn't so sure though, but he looked so assuring that I just nodded.
The next day…
'Hey, Hermione! Over 'ere!' Seamus yelled. I walked over to him.
'Sorry about this Hermione, but we can only stay as friends. I'm very sorry…'
'What are you talking about?' I lied. I KNOW perfectly what he's talking about.
'You know… how you're madly in love with me…'
'Who told you this?' I asked. There was a couple of suspects… (Even though I was 90 percent sure it was Ron)
'No one really, except that Ron yelled it out as he got into the common room…'
'Uh… well Ron tells bullshit. See you later, Seamus.' I lied, and then I walked off. Seamus seemed assured enough, so I left him there.
(Back to Present-Past Time)
Harry looked like he was memorising something like I did. No, I don't like Seamus anymore; it was only a little crazy crush in the second year. But you see what I mean about my secret spreading like wildfire?
'True fact, Hermione…' Harry agreed. Then I nodded with victory… well… sort of.
'Great. Now, take out your invisibility cloak, you need to grab that potion as all the lessons end, so then EVERYONE, I hope not the teachers included, will see US kissing.'
'You didn't say I have to kiss you!' Harry almost yelled.
'What? Disgusted by me?' I asked him grudgingly.
'No! You're one of my best friends… it just doesn't feel right!'
'I don't know… imagine I'm Cho then!'
'But still…' he muttered.
'How about this? You do this, and I help you get together with Cho.' I offered. He beamed up, then held his hand out to shake mine.
'Deal.' Harry said. Then we shook hands.
Harry accepted, but will the plan work out? Will Blaise betray them and just run off? I don't know, I'm now living with a host family and I don'tcomputer access except at school (expect later updates)! My bad...
