As she left the common room she had the weirdest feeling. She felt as though someone was watching her…

She heard whispering but when she turned around she saw no one. How odd, she thought to herself. As she continued down the abandoned corridors the whispering grew louder and clearer until she turned the corner and –

"Hey! What are you two doing here?" Hermione asked two identical boys who were both wearing two identical smiles.

"'Mione!" Fred exclaimed.

"Nice to see ya, mate!" added George.

"It's great to see you, too." She replied, receiving a big bear hug from each boy. "What in the world are you guys doing here?" She repeated.

"Oh, now, we're just here to, uh, get some more business." Fred told her.

"It's been rather slow lately." George commented.

"And Dumbledore gave us permission to advertise-"

"And sell things"

"To you youngsters" Said Fred getting a playful punch in the arm from Hermione at the comment "youngsters".

"Ow!" declared George rubbing his arm, who received an odd look from Hermione.

"Right…well that's fantastic!" Hermione told them, grinning.

"Which part?" Fred asked.

"A. The slow business part" Started George, still rubbing his arm.

"Or B. the staying at Hogwarts part?" Fred finished.

"Guess." She told them, smirking.

"Ya know, Fred, I'm thinkin' she's going with a. You?"

"I dunno, but she looks an awful lot like Malfoy, smirking like that.

Hermione immediately wiped the smirk from her face and replaced it with a frown. "I do not!"

Fred shook his head. "Denial. It's the first step down loony road."

"Loony road? I never…" She stopped, remembering how hungry she was. "Um, have you guys had dinner yet? That's where I'm headed. Would you like to come?"

"Uh, sure…I guess."

"Are Ginny and Ron down there?"

"Yes…" She answered slowly. "Why?"

"Never you mind, Miss Hermione. We'll just go to our rooms and get unpacked."

"Ok…whatever you say. See ya later, guys!" She waved to them and then headed back down to the Great Hall.

When she arrived there she looked towards the staff table and realized that Hagrid was still gone. What is he up to?

She then went to the Gryffindor table and took a seat next to Ron and across from Harry.

"What took you so long, 'Mione?" Asked Ron.

"Yeah, that must have been one long chapter!" Harry added with a grin.

"Oh, nothing. Hey, have you two seen Hagrid?" She said, changing the subject, not know weather or not the twins wanted their presence known.

"Actually, he came in about twenty minutes ago. He rushed in, told something to Snape and they both left in a hurry." Ron answered her.

"I wonder what they're up to…"Harry said, a dark look clouded up his face.

As Hermione started to dish up her plate she realized that Harry and Ron began to talk about quidditch again. There must be something intelligent that they can talk about…but NO! It's always quidditch! She thought to herself.

"Where is Ginny?" She asked them, looking up and down the table and not finding her red-headed friend.

At this Ron only shoved a barbaric amount of food in his already full mouth and glared at the Slytherin table.

"Um…she was in here, but she left to go and, err, attend some business with somebody." Harry told her.

"Blaise?" She asked.

"I dunno…she didn't say."

"Oh."
