I can't say I'm all that proud of this chapter... but I feel awful for not updating... in this chapter there is a pretty obvious hint to everyone's question. . Well, here are the acknowledgements.

))A(( (Chapter 8 only)

Irishsodabread: LOL, hyper aren't we? Thank you for reviewing.

tsk tsk: Dun worry, he'll get his share... Ally and awesomeislaners ): Thanks for reviewing, and I'm getting to updating .
Eyes of Forest: Ah, Aura, as I have renamed her in this chapter, is a minor character that needs none of your attention. She's just there for obscure purposes. Me listened to you, me continuing Acknowledgements.

ShadowGrl and Swurplekitty and CastlesandCruelty and to all of those saying this story as no plot.: I do have a plot, but you are right, it is obscure and distant, the problem is that I lost track of my thoughts, due to lack of interest. But I have to slowly work back up to how it was before, and like I have tried in this chapter to make it longer.

Moondazzler17: Yes, I will reveal what the hell is wrong with the world... -o

Mystery Chick: Yes, I'm sorry that I keep forgetting to update and don't update, but its summer and I have inspiration, free time, and a brain .

And to all others who reviewed, thank you.

Treat:
He put his hand on her cold pale cheek, and sobbed, cursing the Fire for its horrible deed. She'd been drained of all life, because of that moronic Flame... she would pay, he repeated in his head. He slowly stood and backed away from the corpse of his beloved, and looked around. To his utter amazement, there, between the churned remains of his love's house, and the lifeless bodies, she stood. The Flame watched him sadly. But he ignored her sympathetic look and charged at her, ready to kill her on impact. He was only inches away from her...

A deafening scream could be heard, for miles and miles...

Unknown Title, Teen Titans Fanfiction. Blue Fire Krazed, coming soon...

Chapter 9

Strange Retreat

It had been a few days after the incident in the Gryffindor Common Room, but to Hermione's pleasure, things had gotten better. She no longer spent her time alone, after one fortunate night that Hermione encountered Fred and George at the scene of a rather messy prank; they decided to let her be with them. She loosened the reigns on herself slightly, allowing herself to go out at night for quick fun, or occasionally followed Fred George and Aura on their trips to Hogsmeade.

As Hermione was exiting her last class of the day, walking about rather carelessly, she felt two bodies crash her own from either side, causing her to drop all of her spell books and supplies to the floor. Hermione glared at the two, half expecting it to be her "ex-best friends", but was greeted by two pairs of blue eyes staring directly into her own.

"Hello, Hermione! What are ya doing? Throwing your things all about the floor like that? You could have hurt someone! Tsk, tsk!" Said Fred, smiling down at her mockingly. She glared at him, not daring herself to say anything in her current state of anger. She kneeled down, carefully picking up her book and materials as George and Fred watched, not bothering to help. Once she was finished and standing straight up once again, she glared at them, annoyed, but waited for one of them to say something.

"Come on, we have to go already!" George said to someone behind Hermione. Hermione turned, and watched as Aura walked up to them, more than a little clumsy.

"Sorry..." she hiccupped slightly, "Snape had me make an antidote for some sort of depressing potion thing. Lets just say Fire whisky wasn't one of the ingredients..." They began walking down the hall quickly, not a single word was uttered from them, and the only sound was Aura's occasional hiccup. Once the four of them had reached the main stair case and were heading down under it, Fred pulls out a thick roll of slick looking paper.

"You wouldn't believe what we found in this here magazine!" George said, the excitement obvious in his voice, he took the rolled magazine from his look-a-like's hands, and unrolled it. Hermione quickly read the front cover, and there in large orange letters was the word "Scribbler", the magazine that Luna Lovegood treasured so. She watched as George flipped to a page and then showed him a picture of himself and Fred, waving and standing in front of their store.

"I don't remember answering any questions for an interview, but the answers are something I would say." Fred said, nodding his head in approval to the article that accompanied his picture.

Hermione was halfway through reading the article, when a picture of herself caught her eye, but in that same instant, Fred snatched the magazine from her hand and pranced into the Ravenclaw common room, showing all who occupied it his picture and interview.
