Well here is another update.  By the way if you like Cho, or Viktor….well it's your choice but as a warning they are not nice in this fic.   Also I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.  All I own is Amber and her owl Yorky.  With out any interruptions from Desert Rose (looks around room.  On with the story!   Enjoy and please review.  

************************************************************************

"Great they are going to be late," Hermione said as we waited for Harry and Ron in the common room the next day before potions our last class before break. 

            "Don't worry Hermione," I said looking up towards the guys' dorm rooms.  "Besides here they come with plenty time to spare," I added.

            "Maybe, I've heard that Snape is in one of his foul moods today," Hermione said then turned to Harry and Ron.  "Hi guys."

            "Snape in a foul mood can only mean one thing," Harry started.

            "Trouble," Ron finished.

            "Oh come off it guys he isn't that bad," I muttered under my breath as we walked off to potions.

            "Oh yeah he has been nice to you.  Nice as he is to Malfoy," Harry said sighing.

            "Yuck, now if there is a name that need not to be said that would be it," I replied, Ron, Harry and Hermione just smiled.

"Well maybe we should just say inbreeder?"  Ron suggested smiling.  I just nodded as we finally reached potions.  We all sat in the back while most of the Slytherins sat close to the front. 

            Hermione was right Snape was in a foul mood.  For the first hour we went over a potion that we were to do in class then for the next hour he made us do the potion.  When we set up to do the potion I once again was paired with Draco. 

"Stop it Malfoy or you're going to blow it up!"  I said stopping him from adding some frogeyes to the potion to early.

            "I've tried but I just can't," he said hitting on me once more.  I glared at him.  Just then a loud explosion was heard.  We both turned our heads to see Neville and Lavender under a table.  The caldron was melting above them (Neville's 7th one).  Suddenly some of the potion that was coming out of the caldron hit Lavender and she screamed.  Snape was already over there and he stopped the rest from hitting any one else but Lavender was in major pain. 

            "Do you want that to happen?"  I asked glaring at him.  He thought for a moment before he shook his head.  "Then pay attention to what you are doing!" I told him.  He just nodded and for once and we finished our potion silently. 

            "Grr…I'm going to kill him.  Is it ok to kill family?" I said to Hermione as we walked out of Potions.  She just smiled. 

"How did you get him to shut up any way?"  Ron asked as he caught up to Hermione and me.

            "When Neville and Lavender blew up theirs I asked him if he wanted the same results," I said smiling. 

            "Ahhh!"  Hermione suddenly screamed jumping and the next thing we knew it was raining books.  Ron and I turned to see Harry doubled over laughing.  Hermione turned on him.

            "HARRY!!" she yelled. 

            "Sorry Hermione," he said still laughing.  Ron and I were trying not to laugh, Hermione on the other hand was glaring at us as she grabbed her many books off the floor.   

            "Harry!"  We all heard a high-pitched voice call.  Ron, Hermione and I all groaned mentally.

            "Harry guess what plans have changed I will be staying this year for Christmas," she informed him as she hugged him.  The rest of us were about to be sick as she chatted with him, while he just look mildly excited. 

            "No way he is really here?"  Lavender said talking to another girl. 

            "Yes!  I just saw him.  He was in the great hall," the girl replied.  I couldn't help my curiosity and asked, "Who did you see?"

            "Viktor Krum," she replied smiling from ear to ear.       

            "Bloody," I heard Hermione whisper behind me.  I turned to look at her.  She had a look of pure terror on her face and almost dropped her books again.  I then looked at Ron, I couldn't tell if he was happy or not.  Cho had Harry's full attention again.    

            "Why is he here?"  Lavender asked.  The girl just shook her head.  I could feel a cold chill run down my spine. 

            "Well Hermione aren't you going…"  Ron started but I cut him off.

            "Hermione, want to help me with Charms?"  I asked.

            "Sure," she said grabbing my arm and half ran for the Gryffindor tower.

            "I can't believe I forgot!  What am I going to do?"  Hermione said frustrated as she paced the floor in the door room as I sat on her bed. 

            "Well you could stay in here all break," I said some what sarcastically. 

"I can't do that.  Ron and Harry would know something was up," she said.

            "Well then why don't we travel in pairs?  Never be alone that way he can't get you?" I suggested after thinking for a moment.  Hermione thought for a moment then agreed.

            "Come on if I'm not mistaken dinner is on, and I'm hungry.  Besides Krum won't attack you there too many people around," I said.  Hermione nodded and we both set out for dinner. 

            When we arrived most of the students were already there eating.  I spotted Krum almost the second I walked in.  He was sitting next to my cousin.  But my cousin wasn't even talking to him.  In fact Draco was ignoring him.  Well that's one thing he's done right.  I thought as we walked to the Gryffindor table.  I sat next to Ron and Hermione sat in between Harry and Ron.

            "So how did charm homework go?"  Ron asked.

            "Fine," Hermione and I said.  We didn't talk much just ate.  I looked around the room and saw Cho stand and leave.  At first I thought that she was going to come up to Harry but she didn't.  Harry didn't see her leave either.  I looked back up to say something to Harry when I noticed that Krum was also gone.  Must've gone to bed early.  I thought but something was nagging at the back of my mind but I couldn't put my finger on it.  I just shook my head and finished up my dinner. 

            "Remember what I said," I told Hermione as I got up to leave, earlier then every one else.  Hermione just nodded and continued to eat.  I just looked at Harry and Ron before leaving wanting so bad to tell them, but not wanting to destroy Hermione's trust. 

            I left the great hall and headed for the Gryffindor tower but was side tracked when I heard muffled voices in a classroom.  I walked closer to it the door was slightly ajar. 

            "How much longer?" a male voice asked. 

            "Not much, my sweet," a female voice replied.  I recognized that voice.  I looked into the room not moving the door so those in the room wouldn't see me.  I almost screamed but held it.  Viktor Krum and Cho Chan were talking.  She called him 'my sweet'?  I thought as they started talking again. 

            "Vhat of Potter?"  Krum asked as he put his arms around Cho.

            "He is nothing but a silly little boy.  I have him wrapped around my little finger so tight…" she trailed off.  Krum just chuckled.  "So then it is set.  You will take care of that annoying bookworm and blondie?"

"Yes.  Hov dare she try to break up vith me," Krum said. 

"That silly girl," Cho said as she pulled Krum closer to her before kissing him. 

What is going on!  Why, why would she go out with Harry?  Just to use him?  Use him for what?  What is Viktor going to do?  I have to tell Hermione!  I wonder who Blondie is, I know Hermione is the bookworm.   I thought as I pulled back form the room and started back to the Gryffindor common room again.  I sat in the half crowed common room for ten minutes before Harry, Ron and Hermione came walking in. 

"Hermione, I need to talk to you now!" I said waving her over. 

            "What?" she asked.  I then told her of what I had seen before coming to the common room.     

            "We need to tell Harry!"  she said saying Harry's name a little louder then she wanted.  Harry and Ron who were playing a game of wizard's chess looked up at us, with a questioning look in their eyes.  They weren't the only ones to look up either about half of the common room did.      

            "Nothing boys, just girl talk," I said waving my hands at them.  It took them a moment before they went back to their game though.  Thankfully though everyone else went back to what they were doing a lot faster.  The moment that they did I grabbed Hermione's arm and walked up to our dorm room. 

            "We can't!  Not until we have tangible proof.  Harry won't believe it.  Cho has him to wrapped around her pinky," I told her in a hushed whisper.  Hermione thought for a moment then flopped onto her bed frustrated. 

            "Dang!  I guess we are going to just have to wait then," she said.  I just nodded as I grabbed some of my candy from my trunk.  Some friends from America had sent it to me and I was very glad.  "And in the mean time we should try to wean Harry from Cho." I said winking at Hermione who nodded and smiled slightly before standing up.  As we walked out of the room the rest of the girls walked into it.   

            "Let's go back down," she suggested.  "What muggle candy are you eating?" she asked me as we reached the common room.  It was empty except for Ron and Harry, who were still playing chess. 

            "Reese's peanut butter cups," I said as I bit into one.  The other candies I had in my hand were Snickers, and Hershey chocolate bar with almonds in it. 

            "You are almost as bad as Ron!"  she said sitting on the couch.  I sat with her and just giggled. 

            "Here have some," I said handing her a peanut butter cup.  She looked at it for a moment then started eating it.  We both sat silently watching Ron and Harry playing chess.

            "Here try this," Hermione suddenly said.  I looked at her.  In her hand she had what looked like jelly beans. 

            "What is it?" I asked as I popped one into my mouth.  It didn't stay there long though.  I spit it out right into Ron's hair.  "That was gross!"  I said still trying to get the taste out of my mouth.  Hermione was giggling.  I glared at her.  She looked back and smiled then motioned me to look at Ron who was now trying to get a half chewed jellybean out of his hair.  The fowl taste was now forgotten, as I started to giggle too.  Ron was making a face as he pulled at it, while Harry was trying not to laugh. 

            "Alright who did that?" he asked as he finally got it out.  Hermione and I just snickered again. 

            "I didn't do that on purpose Ron," I replied trying not to giggle.  He just looked at me with a look of "yeah right" before going back to the game. 

            "Nice shot," Hermione said to me. 

            "What was that you gave me?" I asked her.

            "I was a Bertie Bott's every flavor bean," she replied.

 I just groaned then said.  "I think I'll stick to Jelly Bellies."  Hermione just laughed while I just smiled.  She pulled a book out and started reading and I looked into the fire completely tuning out every thing else.  Suddenly a hand from behind grabbed my Heresy candy bar.

            "Hey!  Give that back!" I yelled as I turned to see Ron running back over to Harry, hiding behind him.  "RON!" I yelled at him.  I could hear Hermione laughing behind me while Harry was trying to get Ron away from him.

"Come on Harry you've faced Morty can't you handle her?"  Ron asked pushing Harry slightly forward. 

"I have no choice but to face Morty Ron, besides I'm not stupid enough to mess with a girl and her chocolate," Harry said as I jumped over the couch and straight for Ron, Harry was just in the way.  Harry moved but unfortunately so did Ron.  I hit the table they had been playing chess on just moments before.  Some of the pieces yelled at me.  I mumbled a sorry then looked up to see Harry and Ron in front of the couch where Hermione was laughing like crazy.  Out of nowhere Harry disappeared leaving Ron to fend for himself. 
            "Ron hand it over now!"  I growled walking up to him, figuring that Harry had just tripped. 

            "No," he said smirking, backing up closer to one of the many overstuffed chairs.  I just glared at him then lunged at him.  He moved at the last second and I found myself in the chair, while Ron was by another chair on the other side of the room.  All three of them were laughing their heads off.  While he was laughing I again lunged and this time I got him.  We both went sprawling over the chair.  In the fall I was able to grab my candy bar from Ron.  I looked back over my shoulder to see Harry and Hermione.  Harry was sprawled on top of Hermione who I now assumed had grabbed Harry so I could get Ron.  In doing this though they were now in a very bad position.  Harry was lying completely on top of Hermione and Hermione had her arms around Harry.  Both were still laughing like crazy and hadn't realized the position that they were in and neither did Ron or I. 

            "So much for melting in your mouth not your hand," Hermione joked.

            "Oh shut up, besides that for M&Ms," I said as I looked at my now half melted candy bar.  That's when I noticed that Ron was on top of me. 

            "Get off!" I said trying to push Ron off me but couldn't. 

            "Sorry," Ron said as he slightly sat up. 

            "Well that's one way to get on top Ron," Harry said laughing.

            "Any way Hermione speaking of hands, what's melting in yours?"  I asked smirking.  Hermione went red and her hands shot away from Harry.  "Those some hot buns, huh Hermione?"

            "Shut up Amber!"  Hermione scowled at me. 

            "Speaking of being on top Harry liking that mounds bar?"  Ron asked.  This time it was Harry's turn to go red. 

            "Not like I meant to," Harry said as he sat up.  Just as he did I saw a flash of red before a blood curdling scream filled our ears.  It was Ginny.  She was now glaring at Hermione and Harry, not seeing her brother or me as we were mostly hidden by the chair.   

            "AAAHHHHHHHHHH!"  She screamed before turning around and running back up the stairs.    

            "Great, I can't wait for those rumors to come out," Hermione said, as Harry and she tried to untangle themselves without success.           

            "Hey way to go Harry," a voice suddenly called out.    

            "What a shame Ginny caught them," a second voice was heard. 

            "Ah sod off Fred and George," Hermione and I said.  I should have kept my mouth shut because now they turned on Ron and I.  We had both forgotten that we were in the same predicament that Harry and Hermione were in.

            "Wow!  Way to go little bro!"  Fred said while Gorge whistled.

            "It's not what it looks like!"  Ron yelled at his brothers.

            "Just wait till mum finds out about this," Gorge said with an evil glint in his eyes.   

            "You…" Ron started but a sudden thud interrupted him.  All heads turned to see a very red faced Harry on the floor and an equally red Hermione on the couch.  At this moment Ron put his hands down to sit up, but he placed a hand where it shouldn't have been. 

            "RON!!!" I yelled.

            "Oh this should be good," Fred said. 

            "Yeah come on Amber show him how they kick butt in America," George added.  Ron on the other hand had removed his hand and now was stuttering. 

            "Will you two just BUG OFF!"  I yelled. 

            "No this is better," Fred said smiling brightly just as he pulled out a camera.

            "Don't you dare!"  Ron and I yelled at the same time.  Fred and George just smiled.  Ron again tried to sit up and again his hand landed on my chest.  

            "RON!"  I yelled then punched him successful knocking him off me.  His legs were still on mine but he was mostly off of me and that is all I cared about.  I looked up at the twins who were smiling like it was their birthday.  That is when I remembered the camera.  "You two are so dead!" I yelled at them as they ran for it grinning like maniacs.  I growled as I sat up, my candy bar only half forgotten.   

            "Great!  This is going to be all over the school tomorrow!"  Hermione said coming back from la la land. 

            "Yeah well at least you won't have a bruise on your back," Harry complained.

            "Sorry," Hermione said, not sounding very sorry. 

            "Ron?  Hey Ron you alright?" Harry asked. 

            "Man that's the last time I steal candy from her," Ron said as he sat up, holding a hand to his left check.

            "You deserved it.  You are lucky I didn't break your nose," I said under my breath, then said out loud.  "Your brothers are such a pain!" 

            "Yeah but not as much as you are," Ron said with a smile of mischief in his eyes.  I just glared daggers at him. 

            "Well if you guys don't mind or have any more ideas to embarrass me I'm going to bed," I said standing with my candy bar still in my hand. 

            "I second that!"  Hermione said jumping up and followed.

            "Night," Harry and Ron said at the same time.
