Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter at all. Ain't that too bad.
A/N: So there's this guy cleaning our couches so I'm hiding up in my room. Which in fact gives me time to write this without my mom feeling like I'm locked up in my room. Now I'm using a conversation that was in the book here but I'm tweaking it a little.
Chapter 11
"So, how was Occlumency?" Hermione asked taking a look at Harry, "Harry, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Harry said turning his pale face towards the window of the library. "Listen, I've just figure out something…" He started to tell them what he had seen during his lesson.
"So you're saying that the weapon is somewhere in the Ministry of Magic?" Ron whispered as Madam Prince walked past.
"Of course! Where else would they want to hide a top secret weapon from You-Know-Who? He would never be able to show his face in there with all those security guards!" Hermione gasped.
"It's got to be in the Department of Mysteries. Ron, has your dad ever talked about what was down there?" Harry asked his face lighting up.
"Well, he said the people who work there are called 'Unspeakables'," said Ron, frowning. "Because nobody seems to know what they do down there. Weird place to keep a weapon."
"Of course it's not. It's perfect!" Said Hermione, "Harry, are you sure you are alright?"
"Yeah, I just feel a bit…like I don't like Occlumency much." Harry said running his hand over his scar.
"Well who would, you just had your mind ripped open," Hermione said quietly. "How about we go to the common room? It will me more comfortable there."
Fred glanced around the common room for what seamed the hundredth time. He knew that most of the fifth years were hung up in the library because of O.W.L studies. He was desperately looking for Hermione. They hadn't had the time to see each other at all though the day and he was starting to miss her already.
"Watch Fred now!" George shouted out to the crowd. They were demonstrating their new joke shop merchandise, Headless Hats. "And off again!" Fred groped around his head for the hat and pulling it off just as Hermione walked in the common room. He watched as the three of them walked over to where they were demonstrating.
"How exactly do they work? I mean it has to be some kind of invisibility spell, but it's really clever to expand it," Hermione asked distracted from her homework. "I can't imagine that it would last very long though."
"I think I'll go to bed," Harry said standing up and shoving his books in his bag.
"Alright. Goodnight, Harry," Hermione said as Harry dodged George and his Headless Hat. "Maybe you should go and check on him. I'm sure his defenses will be low after his session with Snape."
"Hermione! How do you like our knew product?" Fred asked, happily setting a hat on her head.
"I'd like to know how you got the invisibility spell to expand over your head," Hermione said with a unseen grin.
"Well you know how we twins are. Try, try, and try again, and then later we try yet another time," Fred laughed and swiped the hat of Hermione.
"I just wish Ron and Harry were as enthusiastic about homework as you were about jokes," Hermione sighed turning the page in her book.
"And I just wish you were as much into jokes as you were homework," Fred smiled back at her.
"You can keep wishing then my friend, 'cause there is no way I'll ever play any kind of prank on someone!" Hermione said, shocked.
"Oh, when I'm finished with you pranks will be your life," Fred said waving his arm. "Well, besides homework I mean."
"Well I suppose I might have to give into some pranks if I want to be your friend," Hermione laughed, blushing a little. "I think I'll go to bed, first day back to school always tires me out."
"I'll see you tomorrow then," Fred stood up and ruffled her hair as she stood up. He watched as she started up the dormitory stairs until she turned.
"Look at this!" Hermione cried staring at the front page of her Daily Prophet. She was sitting with Harry and Ron in the Great Hall. After Hermione and Fred's talk in the common room the school was abuzz with rumors about what they were discussing and if they were officially together. Hermione found these rumors annoying but was too worried about what she saw in The Prophet.
I was hoping to get two more chapters typed but alas I can't focus. I'm so excited for school to start that I'm skipping around the house. I put a lot of thought into the conversation that Hermione and Fred have about wishing other people were different. I think it's kind of a thing that everyone thinks once and a while. I got the idea of Fred ruffling Hermione's hair from my experiences. I have two friends that so that to me all he time. Well, one of my friends kinda whacks me on the head when I do stupid things too. heehee
