Right well once again I have taken my time to write, but every time I say ill write quicker the longer it takes. Thank you for the reviews and I hope this chapter will match the reviews that you wrote. Well I hope you like it:

Ok so is it just my imagination or does it feel like no one is in the dorms? I questioned myself when I rolled over to hear the loud and annoying crickets. I turned lamp on dim before turning it on, just in case they were asleep soundlessly, but they weren't. no one was in sight not even the remotely human and annoying girl, Bella. I pulled my quilt of off me and stepped out of the warmth of my bed, I rarely got up in the middle of the night but I wanted to know what people were doing out of bed this late at night.

I walked down the stairs listening for and sound of whisper or movement, but there was none. As I went further I could see shadows of people, which all of a sudden made me feel at ease. I don't know what I was expecting to find, but it certainly wasn't people. The castle had a feeling of unease in its hands and this scared me, the last time the castle had felt like this was when harry got rid of Professor Quil, and that was definitely an eerie feeling.

When I reached the bottom they all looked up and stared at me like I was intruding on something.

"Oh um Hermione, hi" said Alice, she looked beautiful for someone who had only just awoken.

"Hi?" I answered her feeling a little awkward.

"We were just talking about how beautiful this castle looked in the shining moon lit skies" she told me, a smile a blaze on her face. I knew that she was lying, no one ever got up in the middle of the night to talk about such a thing.

"You don't need to lie, I told her, im not stupid" she looked hurt.

"And you don't need to be so rude to her" the pretty blonde stood up grumpily she too looked very beautiful.

"I'm sorry, I just like the truth" I was scared, she looked angry very angry, so I took four steps backwards away from everyone.

"Rosalie back down" the big brawny one told her, "there's no point in fighting" he looked at me a smile playing on his lips. "don't worry she wouldn't harm you".

I was so sure about that one, but I guess I would have had to trust the instincts and just leave her alone. "Hey, Hermione," Edward said in a questioning voice.

"Yes," I replied.

"Could you take us down to the library?"

"What now at this time of the night?" I asked shocked. What would people want with the library at this very hour?

"Yes we cant sleep and we just thought that we would have a look around, we especially wouldn't mind looking at the history of this castle seeming as we would be staying here for the year" he looked honest, but the rest just stood there staring at each other.

"I guess so, there's a book called a Hogwarts of History, if you want to look at it, people rarely read it, probably because their heads aren't big enough, I think that book would come into some use it has everything including the rules" I smiled, finally someone that I wouldn't have to remind about the rules.

"That would be very helpful thank you" he said and everyone stood up ready to follow me out of the room and through the portrait.

Walking down to the castle at this time of the night was nice, I felt strangely safe like I had nothing to worry about. The library was darker than usual as we lit all the candles and lanterns bright enough for our eyes to read. As we sat down at a table I could feel the seat being warm, someone had already been down here. I could see the discomfort in every one's eyes as I had noticed this, and knew that something was going on.

"where is the book?" he asked changing the subject away.

"I'll take you to it" I told him standing up and walking to the nearby book shelf, wow the library was strangely peaceful at this time of the night, it was nice but very cold. I looked back to everyone whispering, this time knowing for sure that it wasn't about me.

"Ok what is going on?" I asked suddenly feeling annoyed, "I know that it really isn't my business but there is something different about you guys, and I'm not to keen for being in the dark".

"We aren't allowed to say anything to you its part of our secrecy and code" he looked apologetic, "please dot try to investigate us or what not". We continued on and when we got to the book I picked it up and blew all the dust of off the cover. It wasn't a particularly pretty book but that couldn't have been helped because it was so old. I passed it to him and thought that the weight might surprise him, but it didn't one bit.

"So this is the book you were talking about?"

"Yes it is, its big but very useful, it just depends on what you need from it."

"We just was to look at rules, establishment and the types of charms and spells that are put on to keep it safe, weve never seen something like this before so we are very investigative" once again he smiled.

"Well if theres any other type of book that I can find you, just let me know. I know this whole place off by heart" I smiled back at him glad to have made myself useful.

Ok so that was the chapter, it was short I know but longer that some of the others that I have written. I hope that you have enjoyed it and pretty please review.

Thanks to all my fans for the kind words and sticking with me through out the process you all mean a lot
