A/N: Okay I would like to say now that the answer to everyone's question is answered in this chapter but no one finds out about it. It is clearly written so I hope no one misses it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this next chapter. It is rather interesting I think but I wrote it so every chapter is like that.

Hermione got up out of her bed and stretched out a bit. She let out a small yawn and after dressing in nice lose clothes for now she went to the common room to see a note left on the coffee table. She yawned as she went over to it then falling on the couch as she grabbed the note.

Hermione, meet me and Harry in the Great Hall as soon as you wake. You where fast asleep this morning so I let you sleep in. I told McGonagall why you missed duty and she understood. Please meet me and Harry in the Great Hall; we want to tell you about something amazing.

Ron

Hermione smiled softly to herself and set the note down on the coffee table. After fixing her hair up a bit she went out of the portrait hole and to the Great Hall. She ran down to where Ron and Harry where sitting and looked at the curiously. "You wanted me to meet you here?" she asked softly as she tried to catch her breath.

"Yes, I did. Sit down, Harry and I want to tell you about what happened last night after we went running out last night," Ron said cheerfully as he patted the seat next to him with a smile on his face.

Hermione sat down next to him and let out a sigh. She was going to hear a story she already knew but he didn't know that. She would just let them tell her anyways, it would be polite to let them tell her. "Go head," she said softly as she grabbed a piece of toast to munch on since she knew this would probably be a long story.

Ron smiled at her and when he looked at Harry he got a very curious look. "What?" he asked as he looked at Harry.

"Nothing Ron, go ahead," Harry mumbled as he watched Ron and Hermione. He could see by the way Ron was looking at Hermione that his best mate was head over heals for her and there was just no hiding it.

Ron gave Harry a small glare before looking at Hermione with a smile. "Well when Harry and I went running out we went to fight a group of Death Eaters attacking the school," he told her with a smile though this wasn't much of a happy thing to be saying really.

"I know, I followed you guys to see why you guys where leaving me behind. It kind of made me wonder if we where starting to tare apart," Hermione said softly as she looked at Ron sadly. She didn't know how to really tell him that so it all just sort of came out to him.

"That's not true Hermione. I honestly didn't even notice you there. You've been so busy lately I just guessed that you where busy doing something," Harry blurted out as he looked at Hermione. He couldn't believe he had done such a thing to Hermione, his other best friend.

Hermione looked over at Harry but her face wasn't very forgiving. "Whatever. You sound like Ron now. I can't help it is I am busy. I am busy studying things we might need to use during the war so forgive me," she said and then getting up and starting to head out of the Great Hall.

Ron got up and chased after Hermione and grabbed her by the wrist to stop her. "Hermione, please, just forgive Harry. You have been very busy a lot so it was just a guess that you where busy like always," he said softly as he gave her a sad face.

Hermione sighed softly as she gave into Ron, just like that but that was his effect on her. "Fine but that doesn't mean it still hurts me inside," she said and then walking with him back to the table and sitting down. "You might want to finish this story before things turn bad."

Ron gave her one of those looks that he normally got from her. "Fine Hermione, be that way," he mumbled and then all of the sudden cheering up. "Well when we where fighting this little fox ran in. It was a cute red fox. It was amazing. The fox actually scared everyone off. It was just so odd."

Hermione looked down at her lap then up at McGonagall to see if she should tell them but got a small shake of the head. "That's cool. I hope I get to meet this small little fox one day," she said quietly as she gave Ron a weak smile.

I don't need to meet this fox, I am the fox. I just want to know when I can tell Ron that I am an animagus.

"I hope that even I will get to see this fox again. It was a very cute fox. I thought you would love to hear about it because you love animals," Ron said softly as he gave her a grin.

"How do you know that?"

"Ginny told me, blame her," Ron said as he pointed down the table at his sister Ginny.

Hermione simply chuckled lightly and shook her head. "It is alright Ron, she was telling you the truth. I love most animals," she told him softly with a smile.

"Wow, that's good. It is hard for me to trust Ginny these days. You can never know when she is telling the truth or not," Ron said as he sighed in relief. His sister had lied to him before but there where only a few times when he had actually figured it out and others that he hadn't.

Hermione chuckled softly and then got up. "I need to go to the library for a while and after that I'll be in our common room Ron," she said softly and giving him a smile. "Sorry I have to go like this but I promised myself that I would get a few books before the end of the day and I can't get caught up with anything."

"I understand Hermione, go on," Ron said quietly as he gave her his Weasley smile. "I will hang out with you later then and I'll make you."

Hermione could feel her knees buckling as she saw his smile. "I will Ron, don't worry," she said and then quickly running out of the Great Hall and resting on the wall outside to regain her knee strength. She was amazed she even made it out of the Great Hall without falling face first to the ground but she was very happy about that.

She finally knew her knees where a bit stronger she went off to the library for the morning. She was kind of excited now that she was going to be made to spend some time alone with Ron after she got back from the library.
