You: "Hey Hermione!" You walk up to her as Fred goes up to the boys' dorm.

Hermione: "Hey Alexis! How was your first day?" She smiles as she closes a huge book called 'Advanced Rune Translation'.

You: "Good! It was, well, interesting! I haven't even seen my brother anywhere. Have you seen him?"

She blushes: "Yeah, umm, we had Charms together. He's really funny, you know? He went up to his dorm a little while ago..."

You: "Oh, well that's cool. I love that kid! Is there something wrong? You look...funny."

Hermione: "No, um, I'm fine...Maybe we should go up and get ready for dinner?" She says quickly, trying to change the subject.

You are slightly suspicious, but you push it to the back of your mind: "Yeah, ok."

The two of you meet up with Angelina, Katie, and Alicia. After getting ready the five of you head down to the commons.

You: "Hey Angelina, when are Quidditch try-outs? I really want to try out as a chaser."

Angelina: "Well there on Friday, but we already have three good chasers, Alicia, Katie, and me. But you could be a substitute chaser." she smiles.

You sigh: "Well at least that's something right? I mean I still get to practice, right?"

Angelina: "Right"

Katie: "Hey you guys!" she waves towards the common room.

You look down the stairs and see Fred, George, Lee, Hermione, Ryan, Ron, and Harry all hanging out downstairs. Everyone just chills out on the couches and chairs for awhile.

Alicia: "You guys ready to head down to supper?" Just about every other Gryffindor had already made their way down to the Great Hall.

Everyone: "Yeah"

Katie: "Ok, let's go. I'm starving!" Everyone starts to get up and head out the portrait hole. Fred waits for you as you go talk to your brother.

You: "Hey Ryan, have a good day?"

Ryan: "Yeah it was cool."

Fred: "Are we going to stay here and chat all night or go get some grub?"

You look at Fred then to Hermione: "I'm ready to go eat. Are you coming Hermione?"

Hermione: "Umm, yeah I will be right back I have to go...uh...get something. I will, uh, meet you guys down there..." she runs up the stairs

You whisper to Fred: "She's acting really strange today." He nods his head.

You: "Well are coming Ryan?"

Ryan: "I will wait for Hermione. I know girls don't like going places by themselves..."

Fred whisper to you: "So is he..." you smile.

You: "Ok, see you down there."

Fred and you walk down to the Great Hall and head toward the Gryffindor table.

Harry: "Hey, where's your brother?"

You and Fred sit down next to each other across from Harry: "He's up in the common room waiting for Hermione."

Ron: "He's waiting for Hermione? Why is he doing that!"

You: "He said he knew that girls didn't like to walk to places by themselves. Why are you so worked up about it?"

Ron: "No reason just worried about Hermione. Last few times she has disappeared haven't been so good..."

Dumbledore: "Attention Students!" everyone looks up at the staff table, "I hope you all have had a good first day at Hogwarts. Whether this be your first year or seventh year returning. Now let us all enjoy the food!" He claps his hands and immediately food and drinks appear on the table.

You: "I love this place! Hey Ginny would you mind passing me some of the roast chicken and mash potatoes?"

Ginny: "Yeah, here you go. Can you pass me the lamb chops? Thank you"

You stuff your face, along with everyone else, with food and drinks. Everyone has a really good dinner. Eventually Hermione and Ryan show up, of course they are bombarded with questions of what they had been doing. They deny everything, but even Ron notices Hermiones' messed up hair. Everyone drops it after Hermione flings a grape at Ron and hits him in the eye. Ron was pretty upset, but the rest of the table thought it was funny. After dinner was over everyone slowly made their way up to the Common room.

You: "Good dinner, eh?"

George: "Yeah, it was just like all the other ones I have had here."

You punch him in the arm: "Oh shut up. What do you think is going on between Hermione and my brother?"

Angelina: "Probably exactly what we all think is going on..."

George: "Yeah, Lexi, it's not that hard to tell that your brother is snogging Hermione! I thought you were smarter than that!"

You: "Well, I know, God! I was just trying to make conversation!"

Fred: "Hey Lexi...uh...remember that thing I wanted to show you uh...over here?"

You look at him, confused: "No? what thi-"he looks at you and winks, "OH! that thing yeah...um...over in that place..."

Fred: "Uh, we will, ya know, catch up to you guys later."

George: "Ok have fun looking at that 'uh thing'." Him and Angelina laugh and keep walking.

You: "So what did you want to show me?"

Fred: "Well, nothing, I just wanted to walk with you alone. George and Angelina get on my nerves when they are together..."

You: "Oh, well I guess we can wait awhile for them to get up there..." You sit down and put your back up against the wall. Fred does the same.

God, I hate awkward silences...jeez...there always so...awkward...

You decide you should go after awhile: "Well, I think its ok to go now, it's been like five minutes."

Fred gets up and then helps you: "Yeah, I guess."

The both of you start up the stairs.

Fred: "So, Angelina told me you are going to try out to be a chaser."

You: "Yeah," sigh, "I wanted to be you know a regular chaser, but I didn't know all three of them were chasers. And I know Ryan wants to be a beater, but you and George are already beaters. But being a sub shouldn't be too bad. I mean we still get to practice and there is always a chance someone is going to get hurt or sick."

The two of you talk about Quidditch all the way to the common room.

Fred: "Banana Fritters" The two of you walk in.

You whisper: "What's that noise?"

He points towards the couch in front of the fire place and whispers: "It's coming from over there, let's sneak over there and see what it is." You nod your head and you both quietly tip-toe toward the slurping noises on the other side of the couch.

You whisper so quietly Fred can barely hear you: "On the count of three we look over, ok?" He nods

"One"

Slurp Slurp

"Two"

Mmmm

"Three!"

You both look over the couch.
