Lee started to notice how different Fred and Hermione acted around each other, and by the looks he was getting from George, he noticed it too. Hermione tended to be closer to Fred physically than the other boys, and Fred tended to act more mature whenever Hermione was around.

The first Quidditch game of the season was fast approaching, and the boys spent more and more time at practice every day. Hermione had stopped attending, saying that they were out too late, and she needed to spend that time studying for the finals in December. But first, Halloween. The boys liked to say that it was their third favorite holiday, the first being their birthday.

Hermione liked that her boys were excited for the holiday, as long as they didn't bother her with their pranks. She liked that they were having fun, but they had involved her in a prank already, and she had been furious. They had charmed all her books to drip ink when she opened them, and it had ruined her uniform when she had opened one. She had forced them to pay for a new shirt and made them promise to not involve her in any more of their pranks. They had agreed immediately, seeing her face, and she had gotten a new shirt in the mail two days later.

Halloween was finally upon them, and spirits were high in the castle. Hermione was excited for transfiguration, McGonagall was having them carve pumpkins with magic to make Jack-O-Lanterns for the Great Hall that night. She sympathized with the boys, they had potions with the Slytherins today. Snape was having them brew the Drought of Living Death that day. The boys were groaning all that morning at breakfast about it.

"Come on, why not skiv off? It's Halloween!" George said, and Fred grinned, but with a look toward Hermione, he shook his head.

"Naw… we should go to class. Anyway, I hear when it goes wrong, it explodes. I'll be a laugh." Fred said, grinning widely. Lee and George shared a look, before returning to their breakfast. "What was that?" Fred asked, and Lee looked up at him.

"Nothing mate, just hoped we could skip this one. It's gonna be hell." Lee shrugged, and Hermione glanced up at him. She looked over at George, who looked somewhat sad, then glanced at Fred, whose smile had slipped from his face. She glanced down at her breakfast before standing. She picked up her bag, and slung it over her shoulder. She looked at the boys that sat at the table, looking solemn. She dipped down to Fred's ear.

"You should just skip." She whispered. "Have a good day, see you at lunch." She said, she was about to stand up straight when he turned his head, and her lips brushed against his cheek. She straightened quickly, her cheeks bright red. George and Lee looked back and forth between the two of them, eyebrows raised. Hermione glanced at them and gave them a little wave before walking away quickly. She made her way to the transfiguration classroom and sat herself between Harry and Ron, they didn't spend much time together outside of class, but she tended to sit with them still when they did have classes together. She yawned as she sat down, the time turner had taken it's toll on her lately, and she seemed to be tired all the time. Harry looked over at her, concerned.

"You alright Hermione?" He asked her, and she nodded sheepishly.

"Yeah, I'm alright. Been staying up late studying and doing homework." She said, pulling out her books.

Harry nodded and they didn't speak for the rest of the class, which everyone had fun with. Hermione made her Lantern have two faces, she had the twins in mind when she carved it. She made each of the faces goofy, knowing that they would appreciate it. She just wanted them to have a good day, they had been working hard this term, trying to balance both Quidditch and school at the same time. She smiled proudly when McGonagall came to inspect it and gave her a nod of approval.

Her day passed by quickly, and lunch came all too quickly, bringing her back to what had happened that morning. She made her way slowly down to the Great Hall, she was nervous to see Fred again after she had accidentally kissed him. She got to the hall and made her way to the Gryffindor table, plopping down heavily. Lee was the first to join her, grinning.

"Hey Lee." She said, glancing at him.

"Hey Hermione, thanks for telling Fred he should skip. Excellent morning." He said happily. Hermione nodded and smiled, happy that they had had some fun. "Hey, so what happened this morning?" Lee asked casually.

"I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about." Hermione said, gazing at Lee. At that moment, Fred and George sat at the table. The three boys started chatting about their day excitedly when Dumbledore stood in front of the Head table on the risen platform. He spread his hands and everyone fell silent.

"Good afternoon everyone. As a special Halloween treat, classes for the rest of the day have been cancelled. Enjoy!" He said, his voice ringing through the Great Hall. His announcement was met with cheers, George and Fred cheered the loudest. Hermione grinned, she would have time to work on the homework due the next week. She bent down and grabbed a book from her bag. She set it down on the table only to have it snatched away.

"Hey!" She cried indignantly. Fred grinned at her, holding her book.

"Nope. Today is a day for fun. No homework today." He said sternly. She rolled her eyes at him.

"Well then what do you propose?" She asked him, folding her arms on the table.

"We could go fly." He said with a wicked grin.

A/N: This chapter is Short, and not amazing in any way. I admit, Kinda had a touch of writers block with this one, but its time for a new chapter to be out. So here it is. I do apologize that its not great. On another note: I did change Hermione's age to fourteen in the last chapter instead of thirteen after a guest left a review noting that to me.
