Yay! I got my reviews! Thankyou! I was going to start on this a little later, but getting them made me start now! It'll take at least another week before I have the next one up. By the way, does anyone know the proper way to go about getting a beta? I know how to find one, but none of them are replying to me.

*shrugs* Whatever.

I just realised that back in chap 4 I think it was, I kind of blew Hermione's incognito plan when I got her to stand up when Dumbledore announced the Head Girl & Boy. Also failed to stimulate a reaction when Draco saw her in her dolled-up state.

By the way, in the last chap the bold and standard type was mixed up, but it wasn't my fault. Unfortunately, whenever the words 'not my fault' are said by me, the opposite comes true. I hope it isn't like that this time.

Serianna14: I'm not telling! My lips are sealed! All I'm saying is that he will eventually figure out that Hermione+Ginny+Prank=Run Away. Now. Before it's too late…

Siriusly-a-princess: He wasn't meant to be! Well… I guess arguing with a student is a bit unprofessional. But hey! It's better than what Snape does—doesn't listen at all and gives detention as easily as he breathes.

C.A.Q: Why thank you!

I luv hardy: Really? I don't think so. I couldn't put the … In the title, so to me, that is less than perfect and unacceptable.

A Human Being (maybe): Thanks for reviewing! And don't worry, there'll be more Sirius/Hermione eventually.

"What was that in class anyway?" Ginny asked as they walked to Hermione's Dorms.

"What was what?" Hermione said, not looking at Ginny. There were a lot of things that were Golden Trio secrets, and she needed Harry & Ron's permission before telling her.

"Well you were doing two things like you'd done them a million times. Making that potion, and arguing with a teacher"

"Um.. Well… I guess I just had done a lot of research on it…" She said, flicking a strand of hair around, still not looking at her. She always did it when she lied, but she never lied very often, so no one had caught on to it yet.

"And what about the arguing with Sirius?" Ginny retorted.

Over the summer, Hermione had been arguing with Sirius a lot, only when he came into her room, asking her about her well being. It really was irritating, and she didn't have the patience to put up with worrying adults popping in every day to tell her she wasn't herself without letting a little steam off. She only argued with him in her room, though. She constantly used to argue with Ron, and everybody assumed she was infatuated with him. Not that she wasn't, but that wasn't the case this time and she didn't want anyone to think that! Not as if he doesn't already think that. She thought irritably.

She heard a impatient noise and wrenched herself from her mind to see Ginny still waiting for an answer.

"What about it?"

"You've never argued with a teacher since you set foot in here!"

Hermione blushed. She was a bit of a teachers pet. "And, if it's not that, then it's the fact that you were arguing with Sirius."

"Well, what's wrong with arguing with Sirius?" She said defensively.

"Nothing. It's just that you never challenge your host. You barely uttered a peep to mum & dad when you stayed over at The Burrow and they were talking about asking Sirius to borrow Kreatcher. Normally you would have gone off on a rant about how they are living things and not to be passed around and borrowed like old hairbrushes."

"I… Well…" She stuttered. She didn't know why she didn't just tell Ginny the truth. Probably because then you'd have to tell her why he was in your room in the first place… a small part of her brain whispered. She pushed that part into a small dusty corner of her mind to be handled later. "Well, what did you do while I was locked up in my own Dorm?" She retorted defensively.

Ginny shuddered "Please. Do not ask me that question. It's going to take me years as it is to get that memory out of my head."

"Umm… Ok, as long as you stop with the interrogation" Hermione smiled triumphantly.

They had reached the Head Dorms. Hermione pointed her wand at the door and muttered a few spells. Ginny raised an eyebrow. The brunette caught her gaze "Checking for traps. Can't be too careful" She explained.

Ginny nodded and said the password & Godric swung open to admit them. As soon as she was in the room, Hermione started muttering spells and wards. Ginny put her hands on her hips "Now what are you doing?" She said exasperatedly.

"Making sure that no one, not even Voldemort himself will be able to cast a spell on this room and make me miss a class." She replied with a determined glint in her eyes.

Hermione turned on the computer and typed in her password. "What are you doing? I thought we were going to have a girl talk" Ginny whined.

Hermione smiled "We had a girl talk last night. And I want to get some schoolwork done before the next class."

Ginny harrumphed, got up & crossed her arms "Fine!" She said snootily "I shall just occupy my time practising Quidditch". She dropped the act and walked out the door.

Hermione sighed with relief. She wanted to be alone and write in her diary. She got up and retrieved Hogwarts: A History. She pressed her thumb into the indent on the spine of the book, and it turned into her diary. She took out her quill and began writing.

Dear Diary,

I have embarrassed myself at least 3 times in 10 different ways, and it isn't even time for my second class!

I have kissed Sirius Black!!! So what it was on his cheek!!! Actually, it wasn't that bad, his skin was smooth, and he is kind of good looking… OH MY GOD!!! What the hell am I doing?!!

Well, so what? He is good looking, but that's it! Just a bit. Anyway, today I kissed Sirius Black on the cheek, argued with a teacher, and became a spectacle for being Hermione Granger.

I swear to god I am going to kill Malfoy. He locked me in my dorm, so Sirius got me out, I was so grateful I just had to KISS him. God damn Malfoy. I am going to kill him. It's all his fault.

Ginny said something about having a memory that she didn't want while I was locked up. I wonder what it was?

And I still have to tell Harry & Ron what I did. His godson. Oh god.

Ron did something again today. Another example of exactly how irritating and stupid he is.

I hope the dreams have stopped. But I will not take dreamless sleep. No. I do not want to be unable to dream. Dreaming is part of me, it allows me to connect to my subconscious, and without that, I would be as arrogant as ABF.

Oh god. I hear someone coming. They can't see this! It's probably Harry & Ron. I have to tell them! But I have to give them some sort of explanation… And I will not tell them about my nightmares—it's my head, not theirs.

Quick, Bye,

Hermione

She hurriedly closed the book and pressed her thumb into the indent again, just as the portrait hole opened to reveal Harry, Ron & Ginny.

Hermione mentally groaned and decided to lie. She hated lying to her friends, but she couldn't avoid a direct questioning, and she certainly wasn't about to tell her friends. It was her head.

Her friends walked in, and Hermione mentally steeled herself for the ordeal to come.

Okay, this is a short chapter, but I wanted to post this before I went away. I probably will be updating less frequently, because our new ISP is charging us 5c for every MG we go over our download limit, and my dad's expecting me to pay it myself. Since the last bill was for $75 & I refuse to pay it, I am not allowed to go online whatsoever.

Oh yeah, but my sister is. Not me. Just my sister. Now, is that favouritism or not?

Anyway, to put a stop to my complaints, I shall now end this chapter.
