"Alright…so if I can continue…" Ron said, but Hermione interrupted him now.
"I think, if you don't mind, I'd like to take a turn at this," She said with a smile. Ron smiled back at her and nodded for her to continue. "If I'm not mistaken I'm alone with Crookshanks at this point…"

Hermione stared at the closed door blankly, a dismissive frown tugging on her lips. "Why were you stuck as a cat, Crookshanks?" She asked instead of commenting.
"Hard to explain," Crookshanks deadpanned. "I fell in love with a wizard. He got a bit huffy and turned me into cat. It's my curse. I'll be stuck that way until my first real kiss."
"You were under a curse?" Hermione asked carefully, simply trying to get the facts. "Did Ron set you free?"
"Yes and no," Crookshanks said again. "The boy with red hair and freckles set me free for 3 days. I must break my curse within that time, preferably with him."
"Why him?" Hermione asked, her frown a bit more profound.
"Not my fault. He chose me," Crookshanks said in satisfaction.
"You mean Ron is your 'one true love' then?" Hermione asked and snorted at this ludicrous idea. "Like in the Grimm brothers' fairy tales?"
"No," Crookshanks said. "This is a different curse. This curse can be broken by anyone. I will turn back in three days if I don't find someone to love and love me back."
"The third day at midnight, I expect," Hermione said sarcastically, now eyeing Crookshanks in an entirely different way then previously.
"Yes," Crookshanks said, nodding vigorously. "Someone must love me for the curse to wear off completely. I hope it'll be the boy with freckles. He is very cute and has nice lips, though he could be more experienced at kissing."
Hermione nodded mock solemnly, her eyes very cold.

Hermione paused then, much like Ron did previously, only in her case she saw the bewildered looks on her friends' and families' faces. "What?" She questioned. "I was a jealous schoolgirl! What do you expect?"
"It just seems so un-Hermione-like," Ginny said as gently as possible and a couple other people nodded in agreement.
"Is it bad if I see her in a Japanese schoolgirl outfit?" Rylee asked with a smirk in his eyes.
"If I didn't know you were gay…" Hermione grumbled under her breath.
"No," Ron said clutching his hands in fists. "If I didn't know he was gay!"
"Why a Japanese schoolgirl outfit?" Harry asked curiously.
Ron shook his head at his best friend, forgetting exactly who they were discussing would be in the outfit for the moment. "You poor innocent, asexual, child," he said to Harry, "No wonder you're not married yet."
Hermione flushed and reached out for the nearest book to thwack her husband on the head, "That, sweetie, was uncalled for." Unfortunately, there was no book, so she used a plate instead.
"Can we get back to the story?" Remus said, clearing his throat. He was giving Rylee a look that said 'I'll-never-forgive-you-for-mentioning-that-and-causing-problems.'
Rylee merely shrugged at his boyfriend. "At least I didn't tell everyone about the time when you dressed up in that Japanese schoolgirl outfit." He obviously meant not to say this last line loud enough for anyone to hear, but unfortunately he hadn't judge the fact that the room naturally echoed…
"Any chance you have pictures?" Fred said.
"Those would make nice blackmail in the future…" George agreed with a smile.
"Oh, I would be more then happy to give you some if you want," Rylee agreed easily with a wink. "But I don't think they're all that appropriate to be spreading around…if you know what I mean…"
"CAN WE GET ON WITH THIS STORY NOW, PLEASE!" Fred and George said in unison, both pretty certain they knew exactly what Rylee meant.
Needless to say Remus was flushed crimson throughout this entire exchange.
Ron couldn't help but smile at his brothers' appeal. 'They got what they deserved,' he told himself with a small laugh. "Alright, so this next part starts really when I finally ventured out of the dorm room…"

When Ron finally coaxed Harry out of the boy's dormitory, they were greeted to an entirely different scene then when Ron had left. Crookshanks was staring into the fire, looking very bored. It was very obvious someone (Hermione obviously) was forcing him not to leave to pursue something more productive.
Hermione was sitting in her previous corner, buried in her History of Magic notes. Ron could almost feel the angry vibes coming off of her and he shuddered unconsciously as he ventured down the stairs.
"Did you find out anything useful about your ruddy cat?" Ron asked hesitantly.
"Lover! " Crookshanks cried eagerly from the other side of the room, excitedly scrambling to his feet. Ron was about to make another mad dash up the stairs, but was saved the trouble when Hermione gave the cat a seething glare that stopped him in his tracks. Crookshanks quickly sat back down in his seat, looking quite dejected.
"He was put under a curse," Hermione said brusquely. "Let's go down and eat a bit of breakfast."
