Chapter 5
*Hermione* Gets Detention?
 

“Mr. Weasley! Ms. Granger! What on Earth are you doing here?” Professor McGonagall demanded, sounding

scandalized. “Ms. Granger, I’m ashamed of you! Prefect and all!”

“Professor, we were just-”

“No excuses, Mr. Weasley! I’m afraid I’ll have to take 50 points from Gryffindor for this- completely inappropriate-

behavior.”

“But Professor!” Hermione exclaimed, sharing a worried look with Ron.

“Ms. Granger, you’ll be serving double detention for this. Prefects are supposed to set good examples for other

students, not wander the halls with members of the opposite sex late at night! Now I suggest you two both get off
to bed.”

The furious woman headed down the opposite corridor, muttering to herself under her breath. Ron and Hermione

shared a look, and both heaved an almost identical-sounding sigh, Hermione joining him at the top of the stairs.

“Oh, detention is just what I need, so close to OWL’s and all.” She groaned. Ron put a comforting arm around her

shoulder.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure if you’re put with McGonagall she’ll let you study.”

“She doesn’t even want to look me in the eye right now, Ron. I doubt she’d want to have me serve detention under

her. I bet she’ll put me with Snape.”

He hugged his friend closer to him as the fat lady sleepily let them into the Gryffindor common room, to find a very

nervous Harry and Ginny waiting.

“Ron!” Ginny cried out, looking at the two. “What happened? You didn’t stay behind to snog did you? Eugh!”

“Don’t be ridiculous, Ginny.” Hermione scolded, blushing a furious shade of pink. “I let my mind wander, and we got

caught in the halls by Professor McGonagall- I’ve got double detention next week.”

“We best get to bed, then, before we get into more trouble.” Harry said, as usual of late the voice of reason. “We’ll

see you girls for breakfast.” He kissed Ginny goodbye, and he and Ron headed up the stairs towards their dormitory.
Hermione started walking up the stairs as well, before realizing she’d lost Ginny.

“Well, are you coming?” she asked the younger girl, unable to hide the laughter in her voice. Ginny was still standing

in the exact same spot Harry had kissed her, a blissful grin on her face. Her head snapped up as soon as Hermione
spoke, though, her face flushing as red as her hair.

“I’m sorry, Mione, he’s just so… so-” she sighed deeply, gathering up the blanket they’d left their earlier and joining

Hermione on the stairs. Hermione laughed all the way up the stairs to the fifth floor bedrooms.

“Don’t worry, Ginny, I know exactly how you feel.” She assured her friend, before she could even think about what

she was saying. Ginny blanched.

“What? Does the ice queen Hermione Granger have a crush? I must alert the Daily Prophet! Rita Skeeter will have

a field day!”

“Quiet!” Hermione whispered, furious with herself and slightly paranoid, even though she knew all the other girls were

asleep. “I never said anything of the sort, Ginny Weasley, and if you dare tell Harry or Ron one thing-”

“Don’t worry, Mione, you’re secret’s safe with me!” Ginny said brightly, taking the blanket from her now beet red

friend. She threw her arms around the older girl, hugging her happily, before heading into the common room, a new
spring in her step.

Watching her for a moment and then heading up another flight of stairs, Hermione shook her head. The whole world

seemed to be falling in love these days. Even her.

And even Draco Malfoy.
 

 
 

Thanks so much to everyone who's been reviewing! I'm sure you guys have heard it a thousand times, but it makes it

all worth it to hear a little feedback.

Josh, thanks a lot for your suggestions, but my style is usually a little drawn out, so I'm going to keep at the pace I'm
going now. There's a lot of setup that needs to happen before the sixth year of school ends that's important to the plot
(and a good plot is essential, right Aerion? ;) ). Anyway, it may be a little while until the next chapter, but the more
reviews I get the faster it'll most likely get out, so please, if you want more click the little button below and tell me what
you think!
