Hermione walked into the great hall, carrying Fred's jacket, she needed to return it to him.
"Hermione over here," Ron waved to her from where he and Harry were sitting at the Gryffindor table. Hermione smiled at him and walked over.
"Good morning you two," Hermione greeted them. "Ron do you know where you brother is."
"Well lets see; Bill is at the bank, Charlie has gone to Australia because of..."
"I mean Fred," Hermione but in.
"Oh, he's with George and Lee," Harry pointed farther down the table.
"Thanks you two," Hermione smiled, "I'll be right back." Hermione head down the table to where the twins were sitting with there backs to her. "Fred," she said when she got there.
"Oh, good morning Hermione," Fred greeted her as he and George turned to look at her.
"Heres, your jacket back," Hermione held out the jacket.
Fred shook his head and got to his feet. "I told you to keep it," he said as he pushed the jacket back at her.
"I can't keep it," Hermione tried again, to return it, "Its yours."
"Hermione keep it," Fred smiled at her.
"Fred," Hermione whined.
"Hermione I'm going to only say this once more," Fred put his hand on her shoulders and looked in to her eyes "Its yours now stop trying to give it back."
"But," Hermione was speechless.
"Keep it, because I know your going to need it." Fred told her, "I heard you lost yours and didn't have time to get a new one."
"But,"
"Besides it looked good on you." Fred smiled.
Hermione broke eye contact with him, show him that he had won.
"Good, now care to join us for breakfast," Fred offered.
"I promised the guys I would eat with them." Hermione told him, then walked off.
"Hermione you ok," Ron asked as she sat down next to him.
"Yeah I'm fine," Hermione said as she took some food on to her plate.
They sat in quite while they ate, until, "What class do we have first?" Harry asked them.
"Care of magical creatures," Hermione told him. "It should be interesting, knowing Hagr..."
Just as Hermione was finishing her sentence, a thunder clap shot throw the air.
"It looks like, where going to need our jackets," Ron said getting to his feet.
"You coming Hermione," Harry asked.
"No, I have a jacket." She said holding up the jacket Fred had given her.
"Thats Fred's favorite Jacket," Ron gasped. "Why do you have it?"
"He gave it to me and won't take it back," Hermione told him looking to where the Weasley twins were still sitting. "He'll probably want it back eventually, but I don't see why I can't use it until then."
Harry and Ron nodded in agreement.
"Well see you out there," Ron said as the two of them left.
Hermione got to her feet and head out of the great hall and down to entrance to the courtyard. Hermione pulled on the jacket and was about to go out into the rain when.
"Hey why do you have one of the Weasley jackets," came a female voice from behind her.
Hermione turned to see a couple of girls standing there, some were from Gryffindor, but there were also two Ravenclow's and a Hufflepuff.
"What's it to you?" Hermione questioned. "And who in the world are you girls?"
"We are the Weasley twin fan club," one of the Gryffindor girls said. "Now answer our question."
"I don't have to, but I will. He my friend and heard he I lost mine over the summer so he gave me his."
The girls glared at her. "This isn't over," the same girl said, as they walked off.
"I didn't know my little brothers were so popular," Came voice from behind her.
Hermione spun around to see Charlie leaning against the door.
"Charlie what are you doing here?" Hermione smiled giving him a hug. "Weren't you suppose to be in Australia, looking for that rare dragon."
"Yeah, well Dumbledore owled me and asked me to come and take the care of magical creatures class for the semester, while Hagrid is doing something for the order."
"But wasn't the order disbanded after the war."
"No, and you, Harry and my brothers may still be called to act." Charlie told her. "Now since its raining we will be meeting here, before going to meet fluffy."
"Not Fluffy," Hermione gulped.
"Yeah, Fluffy" Charlie smiled.
"But but,"
"Can you suggest something else," Charlie asked.
"How about you teach us about Dragons," Hermione suggested. "That would be way more safer."
"Charlie what are you doing here?" Ron voice came from behind them.
Hermione and Charlie turned to see Harry and Ron standing there.
"At this moment in time arguing which is better to teach you guys, dragon's in a class room, or take your class to see Fluffy." Charlie smiled at him, "and for this hall semester I'm going to be your sub, care of Magical Creatures."
"Dragon's in a class room," Ron said.
"I don't know learning about Fluffy would be fun," Harry shrugged.
"Thats because your insane," Hermione pointed.
The three of them had soon forgotten that Charlie was there and were arguing between themselves.
"Well if it isn't another Weasley," Draco's spoke from behind them.
The three stopped arguing and turned to find all the fifth year Slythrines and the rest of Gryffindor fifth years.
"Well hello class, I will be taking you this semester on account that Hagrid is away, on Hogwarts business," Charlie told the students. "And as I was saying before these three started arguing, we will be visiting one of his pets today, because of the rain."
"What type of pet," Dean asked.
"Three headed dog," Ron smiled at him.
"What, that stupid, thats dangers," Draco yelled.
"It would be if we were actually going into the room, Fluffy was moved to another room, in one of the towers," Charlie smiled. "This way please." Charlie walked off down the hallway.
Class went by quickly, and safely due to the fact that the were right above Fluffy looking down at him through a glass roof. Charlie told them facts about Fluffy that kept every one quiet. By the time class was over Charlie had earned the respect of every student including the Slythrines.
"Well that was fun," Hermione smiled at the other two. "What do we have next."
"Break now," Ron smiled at her.
Hermione just rolled her eyes.
"Up for a game wizard chess," Ron asked turning to Harry.
"Sure why not," Harry shrugged. "Hermione you coming?"
"No I think I'm going to go to the library," Hermione told them.
"Ok see you later," Ron smiled.
"Ron, I'll catch you up I need to talk to Hermione." Harry said.
"K, see you in the common-room," Run nodded before walking off.
Hermione and Harry watched Ron walk off, before turning to face each other.
"Ok, Hermione, I didn't get to talk to you yesterday evening, because you were to busy yelling at us, for the chicken." Harry stared. "But what is going on with you?"
"What are you talking about?"
Harry glared at her. "Tell me why you avoid spending time with more the two Weasley's."
"What has everybody noticed, I mean first Fred, then George, now you," Hermione complained, "I mean who next Ron Draco."
"Well I think Draco might have a better chance of spotting it then Ron does." Harry pointed out. "but no Ron nor Drace have noticed, thought why Draco would care. Now spill."
Hermione sighed, she knew that Harry would notice that something was off. He would also notice if she lied to him. So with that in mind she told him the whole truth.
"I think I have an idea on who it is," Harry smirked at her after she finished telling him every thing.
"Who?" Hermione asked him.
"Sorry, but I think you need to figure out that for yourself." Harry told her. "Now I had better go don't want to be late for another game of wizard chess." With that he left her standing there speechless.
