"Hermione?" the girl sounded alarmed, on the verge of tears. "Hermione?" this time the voice registered and Hermione sat straight up her eyes wide.

"What is it Lavender?" she was sweating and her breath was coming in small gasp but she manage to get to her feet and walk towards the cowering girl. "Are you alright?"

"Y-you were panting and whimpering. I thought you were dieing." she said still sounding as if tears where not far off, she was sitting on the corner of her bed her legs pulled up to her chest and her arms rapped around her knees. "Did you have a bad dream?" Lavenders eyes were flooding with tears so Hermione sat down next to her /my dream had been a nightmare!/ she thought /how could I have dreamt that of him?/

"Yes, it was just a nightmare. I'm fine lavender, I'm fine." Lavender had calmed down a bit by now and she wasn't cowering on the bed corner anymore.

"Well," she said in a somewhat stronger voice, "its around eight, and Ron and Harry asked me to come up and get you." she stood up and headed for the door. "You might want to come down stairs; I think they have something to tell you."

Hermione gave a heavy sigh, thinking about the dream she had been having, Draco Malfoy! Of all people! Shaking her head she ruffled threw her trunk and pulled out clean robes a light pink t-shirt and a pair of faded jeans. Then made her way to the showers, wear she was glad to find no one else.

Hermione walked down the stairs toward the couch were she could see Ron's red head and Harry's mess of black tangles over the top. She reached the back of the couch and sat on it, (the back of it) Harry and Ron both looked up at her, and she leaned back so that she was leaning on the seat with her legs in the air. "You wanted to tell me some thing." she said now looking up at them.

"No we just wanted to go to breakfast!" Ron laughed and grabbed one of her legs to tip her over onto the floor.

"So wh- ouch!" Hermione said as she hit the floor and bopped her head on the coffee table. "Why did I have to be awake for you to do that?" she was now rubbing her head where it had collided with the table.

"Well we needed company." Harry said leaning over and pulling her head towards him to see how bad it was, "your gonna have a bump." he said looking over at Ron who was still chuckling to him self. Abruptly he stopped, frowning at Harry.

"Well I didn't mean for her to get hurt I was just playing." he defended himself from the cold glare directed his way.

"Its fine Harry It didn't hurt that much." Hermione pushed her way onto the couch between the two boys, Punching Ron in the arm as she did. "So you wanted my company at breakfast, HUH." smiling to herself she continued "well then I guess we better go, before I decide that you aren't worthy of my presence." Laughing she pulled her self off the couch and headed towards the Portrait hole, all thoughts of her dream man put out of her head by her two blundering friends.

The great hall was loud and crowed as the three of them walked in, taking their normal spots at the end of the Gryffindor table. Neville was there sitting across from Hermione, with Dean Thomas. The plates were already full with food and most every one had filled their own plates with eggs and bacon some had porridge and some had cereal. Hermione was rather hungry herself, she realized, reaching for two pancakes and some butter, before she took the syrup and spread it over them.

"Well, Today is Sunday do we swim again or what?" Harry asked filling his mouth with a spoon full of Porridge.

"Well, we'll get our schedules today so maybe we should look through our books." Ron said rolling his eyes. Hermione gave a snort and looked over at him, swallowing her food before she talked.

"Now you sound like me!" she gave a smile, she didn't feel like looking threw her schoolbooks though she knew she should. "Maybe we could go to the Lake side and look through them that way its not you know, so boring." They both agreed that, that was the best and continued to eat. "We should also visit Hagrid!" Hermione stated a bit excited, "that way we wont have to study all day!" She smiled at her wonderful idea, she had always loved the big giant, and he was so sweet.

"Are you alright, Herm?" Ron asked glancing side ways at her. "You have never wanted to visit Hagrid after studying before. You would just soon stay and study all day long!"

"Not true, I like to study, no point in denying that, but to say I would rather study for something that hasn't even started yet , instead of visiting Hagrid, now that is just stupid." she finished up her pancakes and drained her glass of Pumpkin juice before speaking again. "So are you almost finished? "

"'Arry! Ron, 'ermione! 'Ow are yeh?" Hagrid said in his overly excited voice. "Been a while since I seen yeh. Keepin' outta trouble I presume?"

"Hagrid its only the second day here." Hermione laughed, "and already they were caught out of bed to late!" she smiled over at her two friends, they were snickering to them selves. "Why were you out of bed anyways?" she asked turning curious all of a sudden, "you tell me almost everything yet I don't get to know that?"

"we just wanted to go to the Room of Requirements, is all." Ron said turning a bit red. "nothing important." Beside him Harry snorted.

"I think she would get a little upset if you called her unimportant." he said smiling over at Ron, who shot him a warning glare.

"well, I don' care 'oo it was! No more stayin out pas curfew!" Hagrid said directing them towards the large round wooden table.

The time past rather quickly, and soon it was getting dark. "Yeh better go in now." Hagrid said walking them to the door, giving them each a hug before pushing them out the door. "Come back soon."

Hermione walked in th middle, between the two boys, as they made their way to diner. She was very hungry seeing how she missed lunch. "I hate his cooking." she laughed, "It isn't very good and you cant not eat it, because you don't want to hurt his feelings." Hermione sighed as her stomach gave a loud growl and then settled back down.

"I know what ya' mean!" Ron agreed rubbing his stomach, "Lets go eat."
