Friday, January 3, 2003 // 05:16 p.m.
Ron stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around. He glared steadily at Malfoy and clenched his jaw. "No, Malfoy, everything's perfectly fine," he replied, angry voice dripping with sarcasm. He stepped forward and helpd out his hand. "So why don't you just return my book and we'll both be on our way."

//Ron

Friday, January 3, 2003 // 05:15 p.m.
*Pulls out wand, and tries to do several spells to reveal who sent the gift, but is unsuccessful.*

"Well, somebody's got an admirer!"

((OOC: Padma what is your SN?))

//Cho

Wednesday, January 1, 2003 // 11:03 a.m.
*Padma looks dumbfounded at the beautiful rose* "Wow! Who could have givin this to me? I'm going to ask Professor Flitwick, in our next Charms class to put a preserving charm on it!" *Then Padma and Cho run upstairs to dormitories to look at the rose and possibly find out who it was from*

//Padma

Tuesday, December 31, 2002 // 06:57 p.m.
*laughs and picks up the package* "It's very light..." *Opens it and pulls out a single rose, with no tag or indication of who it was from.* "Wow..." *hands the rose to Padma*

//Cho

Tuesday, December 31, 2002 // 01:52 p.m.
*Padma Blushes.* I don't know Cho, why don't you open it for me, I don't wanna look!

//Padma

"Hmm...Harry Potter has a snowy owl...I think..." *Blushes a little* "What's in it?"

//Cho

Monday, December 30, 2002 // 05:24 p.m.
*Padma pulls out the gift from her sister, Parvati* Looks like she got me some new clips for my hair and a bag of bertie botts every flavour beans. *She also pulls out the mysterious gift that was also sent. I don't know about this one Cho! No one signed their name. But the owl that delivered it was a Snowy white!

//Padma

Monday, December 30, 2002 // 04:01 p.m.
I can't believe this... Someone borrowed my computer and somehow the logs from yesterday's RP's are gone. Aaarghhhhh!!! Catherine, Julie... Do any of you still have the logs? Please? Please? *pulls out hair*

//Martine

Sunday, December 29, 2002 // 11:32 a.m.
OOC: Just letting you know that I'm here, I'm just waiting to catch Martine online XD.

//Harry

Saturday, December 28, 2002 // 12:04 a.m.
Walking a bit faster, Draco raised an eyebrow at the rant. Nearly behind Ron. he watched as a book fell from his hand. Bending over, he picked it up. Tossing it between his hands.

Rolling his eye, he smirked and drawled out "What's the matter, Weasel? Trouble in paradise?"

//Draco

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 10:48 p.m.
In his fury, Ron didn't even notice Mafloy as he stomped down the corridor. He muttered loudly about Hemrione. "I don't know what's wrong with her, I want to keep her from killing herself and she gets mad, I tell her that i care and she gets even more pissed off and twists my words, what the bloody hell does she expect me to do, honestly, I can NOT believe that girl for one minute..." and on it went. He didn't notice how his books were idly slipping out of his clenched fists.

//Ron

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 11:26 p.m.
Draco walked down the hall to the hall, humming to himself. Not really paying attention, he was surprised when he heard yelling from the infrimary. Wondering who it was, he put his ear to the door, hearing the last part of Granger and Weasley's conversation.

Suprised, he stepped away from the door as Weasley came out. How odd... Curious, he followed a bit behind Weasley.

//Draco

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 08:21 p.m.
*sits on the bed*

I can't BELIEVE him! I can't believe someone could be so interfering! Well I don't need him...he only cares about himself anyway.

*Scowls and hits the bed.*

Why is everything going so wrong??

//Hermione

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 08:14 p.m.
Ron turned around and stood there, gaping. He did care! That's why he didn't want her to go! How could she twist his words around like that... "Hermione!" he called angrily, but his face softened. "I... oh, fine!" he yelled again then proceded to leave.

//Ron

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 08:07 p.m.
*eyes wide with shock and anger*

"FINE! You don't care about me! You're just afraid you'll lose the person who does all the work for you all the time! Well go on then, see if I care! I can do this myself, just like everything else I do!"

*Turns around and pulls curtains around the bed, blocking her from view*

//Hermione

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 07:58 p.m.
Ron cringed as she yelled and then looked at her blankly, his jaw working, but no sound coming out. Then he jumped to his feet and glared at her, his face going red with anger. "So sorry for not wanting you to run out and get yourself killed!" He yelled back. "If that's how you're going to go about it, maybe I should just stand back and let you!" His face beat red, Ron spun around and began stomping toward the door.

//Ron

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 01:10 p.m.
((THANK YOU PADMA!!!))

*walks into common room and sees Padma*

"Hey Padma, what've you got there?" *sits down*

//Cho

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 11:59 a.m.
Padma enters the Ravenclaw common room on a friday and sits down in front of the fire. Suddenly, two owls drop her Christmas presents. The first one is from her sister, Parvati. The second one has no tag, but was delivered by a snowy white owl. Who could have sent this she thought?

//Padma

Thursday, December 26, 2002 // 05:31 p.m.
*Snaps under stress and worry* *looks up sharply* "What? Ron Weasley don't tell me what I can and cannot do!" *stands up* "I can take care of myself! I don't need people like YOU constantly flitting around me! I'm fine on my own!" *Face turns red*

//Hermione

Thursday, December 26, 2002 // 01:25 p.m.
Ron found himself shaking his head. "That's probably why Sirius took it. You can't go after them yourself, Hermione, it'd be way too dangerous. You don't know where they are, or who's holding them or anything! No, you're definitely staying here with the rest of us." Ron's voice was a bit more stern than he had meant it, but he was certainly not going to allow his friend throw herself into danger like that.

//Ron

Wednesday, December 25, 2002 // 01:44 p.m.
*looks down* "I've been better...I just can't stand sitting here doing nothing while...well, you know. I got another letter from them." *looks up* "Sirius took it, but he said it contains information on where they are...If only I had that letter! I wouldn't be sitting here, I can tell you that!" *crosses arms*

//Hermione

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 // 10:04 p.m.
Ron laughed and ran a hand back through his tossled red hair. "Well no, not really. Just trying to go the opposite direction in the halls when it's time to eat. I dropped one of my books and nearly got run over. How are you doing?"

//Ron

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 // 03:10 p.m.
*Looks up and sees Ron*

"Shouldn't you be in class? Wait, turn around...my goodness you've got a footprint on your back! Was there a riot or something out there?!"

//Hermione

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 // 12:34 p.m.
Ron shoved his way through the crowded corridors, class having just let out and everyone headed to the great all to eat. Hermione had been in the hospital wing for a bit now, and Ron was determined to go see how she was doing. He had wanted to stay there with her, but Madame Pomfrey insisted upon his going to class. Someone knocked his transfiguration book out of his hands and he was forced to try and snatch it up before being run over.

Breatihng heavily, he made his way out of the crowd and into the more empty corridors leading to the hospital wing. He walked inside and sat down on the bed next to Hermione and smiled.

//Ron

Monday, December 23, 2002 // 08:06 a.m.
Another RP :)

Hermione: *Lays down on the bed feeling troubled and worried*
Sirius: *runs down the stairs, worried about Hermione* *slips through the door when madam Pomfrey walks out*
Hermione: *Looks up and sees an enormous black dog come through the door...whispers "Sirius!"*
Sirius: *looks around frantically, afraid to be caught* *walks up to the bed*
Hermione: *whispers* "I don't think anyone else is in here...you're fine..."
Sirius: *transforms* "Hermione... How are you?"
Hermione: "Well...I suppose I've been better, right?"
Sirius: *looks down* "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that..."
Hermione: *Shakes head* "Don't worry about it...." *looks up* "Sirius, what am I going to do?"
Sirius: *takes Hermione's hand* "It will be OK, honestly, it will. I'm going to try and do everything to get them home. I'm going to talk to Snape in a bit."
Hermione: *Just then an owl flies through the open window and drops a letter on Hermione's bedsheets*
Sirius: *grabs the letter* "Wait! Don't open it!"
Hermione: *Looks surprised* "Why? It might be about my parents!" *She said rather loudly, trying to get up and take it back*
Sirius: *sniffles at the letter* "No, wait... It could contain something dangerous"
Sirius: *opens the letter* *reads it* *frowns*
Hermione: "What is it??" *tries to grab letter again*
Sirius: "it's... not good. I'll have this examined by other people first, best not to take any risks. yes." *puts the letter in his trousers*
Hermione: "What does it say?? Tell me, Sirius."
Sirius: "It indicates your parents are alive, so that's good." *pats Hermione on her shoulder*
Hermione: "Does it say where they are?"
Hermione: "Sirius please just tell me...it'll only make me feel worse not to know."
Sirius: "No, it doesn't..." *frowns*
Sirius: "I'm sorry, Hermione... I need to get it examined first. Just believe me when I say it's not bad news. I would have told you."
Hermione: *frowns* "When can I know."
Sirius: "Basically... this letter just gives us a way to contact the kidnappers, but we've been tricked before. Just please, please stay out of it, unless you want to get kidnapped yourself."
Hermione: *Frowns more* "How can I just sit here and do nothing while Death Eaters have my MUGGLE parents! Do you know what they'll DO to them?" *Her eyes now shine with tears*
Sirius: *looks helpless* "I'm so sorry. And I know what the deatheaters are capable of, but the fact they're still alive, is very, very good news."
Sirius: "Just... realise that this is probably a way to trick Harry, and you'd give them exactly what they want if you go to look by yourself."
Hermione: *Sits back angrily* "It's not fair."
Sirius: *smiles, cynically* "life isn't fair."
Hermione: *Hermione is still glum but she hears Madam Pomfrey walking toward the door*
Hermione: "She's coming you'd better go...just promise me you'll do everything you can for my parents, ok?"
Sirius: *pets Hermione's hand, helplessly* "I promise. Just... get some rest."
Hermione: *nods and looks down as the door opens* "Go!"
Sirius: *smiles, reassuringly* *transforms and runs*

OOC: I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while (... make that a long while), RL (and other fandom stuff) has been mad. Just wanted to say I'm still alive, before anyone takes over Snape & Sirius ;). Catherine, I tried to make Snape and Sirius RP, but I felt slightly schizophrenic, so I hope to catch you online sometime to finish that RP :).

Harry *quickly tells Sirius he'll catch up with him later and runs off to find Hermione and Ron and see if they're okay*
Hermione: *Is still stumbling along with Ron*
Harry: *hears voices down the hall and runs into ron carrying Hermione*
Hermione: *looks up and sees Harry*
Harry: "Oh hi guys! I was looking for you.. did you just come back from Pomfrey's, or are you going there now? Are you okay Hermione?"
Hermione: "We were just making our way there...kind of. I'm alright...it's just come as a shock to me.."
Harry: "No kidding. I was just talking to Sirius."
Ron: Ron nods a bit, re adjusting his weight to support her better. "What'd he have to say?"
Hermione: *Realizes how it must look to Harry to see Ron carrying her, she quickly says:* "I can walk on my own..." *turns bright red* "I'm fine...."
Harry: "Nothing much really, well, we were going to go up to Snape and talk to him about this *points at Hermione* but I wanted to tell you two first.. and see if you were alright"
Hermione: *nods* "I'm alright, really...I don't think I need to go to the Hospital Wing.."
Ron: *looks uncertainly over at Hermione* "you sure?"
Hermione: *Wobbles a bit* "Erm...I think?"
Harry: "You better go anyway Hermione"
Hermione: *hesitates* "All right...I don't want to have to be social in the common room anyway.."
Ron: *chews his lip then gives her an encouraging smile, then looks over at Harry* "Okay then."
Harry: "Go on. I'll go talk to Snape with Sirius, and then I'll come to the hospital wing with Sirius okay?"
Hermione: "Alright...and ask Dumbledore to get Sirius into the ward, Madam Pomfrey won't take it well to see Sirius Black in Hogwarts..."
Ron: *nods* "Yeah, and we need to talk to him about all this as well."
Hermione: *nods* "All right...we'll see you soon then"
Harry: "Okay, I'll see you later. Don't worry about working or anything now Hermione"
Hermione: *shakes head and smiles a little* "For once, I don't think I am..."
Harry: "Good" *nods and hesitates a bit and turns around and leaves*
Hermione: *sighs* "Shall we go, then?"
Ron: *nods once more* "Yeah, yeah
Hermione: "Erg, this school keeps getting bigger!" *They approach the hospital wing*
Ron: *smiles, glad to hear her make a joke* "Knowing Hogwarts, it probably does."
Hermione: "Well, according to "Hogwarts, A History," corridors and chambers tend to move, but I don't remember reading anything about it getting bigger."
Ron: *can't help but laugh* "That's my Hermione..." he grinned not even realizing the irony of his statement.
Hermione: *Grins as they get to the hospital wing door and walk in*
Madame Pomfrey: "Oh my.. what happened to you? No time to explain! Lets get you in a bed.. I know what to do here!" *runs off*

Love Catherine ::: Sorry Martine. I'll RP with you later. Hope you don't mind?

Thursday, December 5, 2002 // 05:44 p.m.

Ron: Ron sat nervously chewing his lip as he gazed at the fire while sitting on the floor beside the couch.
Hermione: *sees lots of fog, black figures, can barely see, then a flash of orange, then BAM! she jerks awake*
Ron: *starts slightly and looks over his shoulder at Hermione, surprised to see she's awake suddenly*
Hermione:*is confused* "....wha?" *sits up*
Ron: *scoots around so he's facing her, his expression worried* "You alright, Hermione?"
Hermione: *rubs head* "Yeah..." *looks around* "Where's Harry?"
Ron: *smiles slightly* "I think he went to go get Dumbledore."
Hermione: "Oh..." *sighs and looks at Ron hopelessly* "What's...what's going to happen?"
Ron: *hesitates* "With your parents?"
Hermione: *nods*
Hermione: "I mean...I know there's nothing we can do, but are we just supposed to sit here?"
Ron:*shakes his head* "Not a chance. Sirius was saying he wanted us to help in the You-Know-Who ordeal. We'll find out where your parents are, I'm sure of it."
Hermione: *nods*
Hermione: *tries to stand up but sways a bit*
Ron: *scrambles to his feet and grabs on to her arm quickly* "Careful..."
Hermione: *Steadies, then looks up at Ron* "Thanks..."
Ron: *looks at her for a moment, then glances away, his ears reddening* "Once you're ready, you want to go to Pomfrey's?"
Hermione: *sighs* "I suppose I should...come on, we'll go now.."
Hermione: *Stands up slowly* "We should talk to Snuffles too, and Dumbledore if possible.."
Ron: *nods* "Yeah.... need any help?"
Hermione: "no" *stumbles* "..yes"
Ron: *laughs slightly and then slowly, his freckled face flushing some, wraps an arm around her to help support her* "...er, okay, let's go"
Hermione: *grins a little then starts walking* "I'm fine, really...just came as a shock..."
Ron: "No kidding... I don't blame you." *smiles a bit as he helps her out of the portrait hole*
Hermione: "What would they have done with them? Why does You-Know-Who think killing Harry will make everything better?"
Ron: "Well... Harry was the one who made him fall before... maybe he's afraid that with Harry still alive, it could happen again."
Hermione: *frowns* that's true...
The two continued to stroll down the hall in a worried silence…

OOC: Meh, I'd be getting no where if I just tried to reply, so I posted our old RP, Julie. HOpe you don't mind. ^^;;

(( sorry about not posting or being on alot, latin has been taking alot of time. and sorry about logging of the other day, my comp messed up. Anyone uo for a rp chat on friday? around 1-ish mebbe? ))
Draco walked down the corridor towards Slytherin common room, humming to himself. Glad to finally be out of classes for the day.
Opening the door to his dorm, he was surprised to see a owl outside. Letting the owl in he took the message and bag from the leg and sent it away with a wave. Sitting down on his bed to read it.
Draco, As you may or may not have heard, we have come up with a new plan to trap Potter. As I write this it has already been started. We could use both yours, Blaise's and Pansy's help. I shall explain in more detail over break. - Lucius P.S. Here are some treats from your mother.

//Draco

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 // 04:27 p.m.
Harry: *Noticing there was no one in Dumbledore's office, Harry ran to Sirius's room and knocked on the door*
Sirius: Hearing fast footsteps approach, followed by a knock, Sirius walked to the door. "Hello?"
Harry: "Hermione... parents" Harry started, panting. Sirius: "Harry! Come in, quick. What's wrong with Hermione's parents?"
Harry: "Okay.. She just came downstairs in a daze... and... she had this letter, then she fainted.. and I read it and it said her parents were kidnappped! i left her with Ron. I'm sure he doesn't know what to do.."
Sirius: Sirius frowned "Oh shit. Did you... Where is Dumbledore? Who did she get the letter from?"
Harry: "I don't know, she just looked at me and Ron and fainted.. just fainted! You can't come in though.. people will see you"
Sirius: "Understandable, after that news... And maybe this hide and seeking game should be over. I am innocent, after all."
Harry: "Well, you can't just go out there, people will be scared.. you need to talk to Dumbledore. Who isn't here. Where is he?"
Sirius: "I have no idea. I've been trying to find him for a day now, I don't hope he's off to visit someone... We need a plan. I want to see that letter."
Harry: "Want me to get it??"
Sirius: "Yes, please. I want to run some tests... I don't trust this."
Harry: "Ok, I'll be right back" *runs out the door*
::About 5 Minutes Later::
Harry: "Hermione's still unconcious, here's the letter." *passes it to Sirius*
Sirius: *frowns* "Still? Why didn't Ron take her to Pomfrey?" *takes the letter*
Sirius: "It seems like the Ministy did send it... It just feels like someone is trying to get you the three of you, especially you, to come look for them."
Harry: "I don't think he wants to carry her that whole way" Sirius: "Oh, for God's sake." *walks up to his fireplace, throws some powder in. "Poppy!" *Madam Pomfrey's head appears, and Sirius tells her to go and help Hermione*
Harry: *looks at Sirius with an uneasy face* "Yeah.. but why would we go find them? Hermione would never do that, and I doubt Ron would either.. well, they wouldn't want to. They know it's too dangerous"
Sirius: "Should I mention your earlier adventures now?"
Harry: Well, now, after last year?
Sirius: "And looking for Voldemort wasn't dangerous?"
Harry: "I'm aware about the past years. Hermione and Ron wouldnt want to go look for them. They know better, now."
Sirius: "Even if that was true, Voldemort and his sidekicks aren't aware of that. I just want to know if this is a trick or not." *walks up to his closet, pulls out some instruments and a vial*
Harry: "Of course it was a trick. Hasn't everything been? Well, not everything.."
Sirius: *faint smile* "Indeed." *fiddles around with the instruments, muttering a spell* "This should tell me who sent the letter, but I'm no Moody."
Harry: *stares at the vial*
Sirius: "Hmmm. Some clerk at the Ministry, apparently."
Harry: "Well, it still could be a fake.. could be someone disguised as a clerk?"
Sirius: "Yes. I still don't trust it... No, it should recognize disguises. But whoever sent it, Hermione's parents clearly are kidnapped."
Harry: "What do I do now? I'm going to see if Hermione's alright.."
Sirius: "I'm going to see Snape. You can come, if you want. I think he'll know more."
Harry: "Okay then"

We'll do the rest later ^_^

//Harry and Sirius

Monday, November 25, 2002 // 06:25 p.m.
Ron quickly snatched the note from Harry and watched the black haired boy run out of the portrait hole and out of sight. Ron knelt down next to Hermione's limp body and read the note, his eyes widening as they scanned the page. Stuffing the note in his pocket, he looked down at Hermione, wishing he knew a spell to wake her up. Sh'ed probably know the one. Oh well...

Ron thought a moment then bent down and wrapped his arms around her knees and near her neck, lefting her up with a grunt. He was tall and lanky, but he was now a fifteen year old boy, and Hermione was rather light. He carefully carried her over to the couch by the fire and set her down, putting her head on a pillow. Then he sat on the floor next to her and pulled out the note, reading it again while he worriedly waited for Harry and Dumbledore.

//Ron

Sunday, November 24, 2002 // 07:49 p.m.
*runs across the room to Hermione and grabs the letter from her limp hand*
Hermione's parents were kidnapped?
*Passes the note to Ron and runs to find Dumbledore...*

OOC: Great plot twist Julie ^_^

//Harry

Sunday, November 24, 2002 // 05:06 p.m.
*Walks straight up to the girl's dormitory after her walk with Ron, and finds a barn owl on her bed, with a letter tied to its foot.*

"What's this?" *Unties letter from owl, who flies away to the owlery right after...* "It's from the ministry..." *reads:*

"Dear Miss Granger,
We are devastated to have to inform you of this, but you must know. Albus Dumbledore told us to protect your parents. We went to their house and told them what we would do (the Fidelius Charm) and we said we would return the following day to perform the charm, as it is immensely complex. In that span of one day, it is believed that three to four Death Eaters went to your parents. There was a struggle, and two Muggles witnessed it, but by the time our Ministry got wind of it, the Death Eaters had taken your parents. The Death Eaters left a note, which we will tell you about at a later time. They are not dead, but as to where they are, we do not know. We are working tirelessly to find them, and I assure you we WILL have them home safely. However, you must take all necessary precautions yourself. Don't ever go anywhere alone, and keep yourself out of trouble.
I am terribly sorry you had to find out this way, but please do not do anything drastic."

*Stares wide-eyed, then walks numbly to the common room...looks from the letter to Ron and Harry, then faints.*

||Bum bum bum!||

//Hermione

Thursday, November 21, 2002 // 07:11 p.m.
*wakes up with a jolt* what was that? *looks at clock. It's 9:30. Gets up, dressed and makes her way to the Great Hall, thinking about her dream.* I'll ask Professor Trelawny about it after breakfast

//Pansy

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 // 07:30 p.m.
After replying, "I'll go find him," Hermione gets up and walks out.

Hermione : *Crawls through portrait hole to find Ron*
Ron : *strolls down the hall toward in the direction of the common room slowly, thinking things over*
Hermione : *Looks around, walks aimlessly through halls, and turns a corner to see Ron walking*
Ron : *randomly scratches his head*
Hermione : "Ron?"
Ron : *jerked out of his thoughts he turns around, looking over his shoulder* "Hermione?"
Hermione : "Hey, erm...the Common Room's that way..."
Ron : *glances around and laughs, his ears reddening slightly* "Yeah, I suppose it is. I wasn't thinking about where I was going."
Hermione : *Grins* "Apparently not. Are you all right? I didn't get to talk to you after Madam Pomfrey let us go."
Ron : *nods a bit* "I'm okay. I ended up talking to Sirius for a bit... hey, er..." *Puases, shuffling his feet slightly* "You want to go for a walk or something?"
Hermione : *reddens a bit* "Sure...I've finished my work for today anyway."
Ron : *smiles slightly and turns to walk into one of the halls with large windows and a nice view over the Hogwarts grounds* "So, I talked to Sirius.. and I asked him about Harry..."
Hermione : "What did he say?"
Ron : "Well, I asked him what Harry could be hiding from us... but he didn't seem to know."
Hermione : "Hmm...I dunno what's got into Harry this year...he used to be able to tell us anything."
Ron : *looks at the floor, his face having that Ronnish worried expression* "Maybe just stress? I mean... it's only been a few months since everything happened..."
Hermione : "True...I suppose if we give him time...*trails away* Afterall, even though he says he hates the Dursleys...besides Snuffles, they're the only family he's got..."
Ron : *wrinkles his nose* "You haben't met them, Hermione... worst, worst sort of Muggles... but Snuffles said Harry's worried about us."
Hermione : "About us? Why?"
Ron : "because... of you-know-who's return to power..." *rubs his face finally* "I don't know, Hermione... how am I supposed to help my best friend when he won't tell me what's really bugging him?" *looks up at her with slightly lost eyes*
Hermione : *Opens mouth, then stops.* "Well I don't know. *sighs and looks down* We can't keep pleading with him...if he's not going to tell us, he's not going to tell us. I'm sure Dumbledore and Snuffles are working to protect as many people as possible...he may even do that Fidelius Charm for our parents, or something...I don't know."
Ron : *gazes at Hermione for an unusually long moment then nods*
Hermione : "I just don't know what to do anymore, Ron. It's all so...*rubs eyes* Arg, I don't know! I want to help...but can we? What can three teenagers do?"
Ron : *sighs and loks at her sadly* "Well, we've done more than enough before..."
Hermione : "Yeah, but this is You-Know-Who we're dealing with...well, I'm going to do my best to help my friends, and that's all I can give..."
Ron : *smiles at her slight optimism* "That's all we could hope for, Hermione. Besides, we've dealt with You-Know-Who every year since we got here"
Hermione : "Not when he was powerful...I don't even know the extent to what we're dealing with...only Harry does...he's seen him. But I don't think he's in any state to tell us about that..."
Ron : *sighs* "We'll be alright, Hermione, don't worry..." *looks over at her and gives her a rare comforting smile*
Hermione : *Stares back at Ron with a bit of an idiot-look, then quickly coughs and looks to the floor, face reddening*
Ron : *blinks and cocks his head, then shrugs* "Well, should we get back to the common room?"
Hermione : "Yeah, we should go talk to Harry..." *turns and walks toward Common Room*
Ron: *follows beside her*

"You're back eh? Nothings up. Where's Ron?"

*sits up and looks around*

OOC: My internet's broken at home, I'm at my grandparents. It should be fixed soon though!
Also.. didn't everyone love the movie? It was truly wonderful.. and also I loved the R/H moment at the end. Ah.

||Sorry about the lack of posts...the only time I can go online is when my parents aren't around cause I'm GROUNDED! I try though!||

Madam Pomfrey let Ron and Hermione go earlier, but Hermione was so enthralled in work that she left quite a bit after Ron.

*Walks to Common Room and sees Harry lying on a couch, looking rather stressed.*

"Hey...what's up?"

pansy's dream
Trance music is playing. Pansy looks around, and sees lots of people wearing baggy, reflective pants and shirts, pacifiers, visors and lots of beads and glitter,and their hair annoyingly bright anime coloured hair, all dancing and laughing, and some yelling 'PLUR!' This must be a muggle 'rave' suddenly, voldemort appears. he's dressed as the muggle 'ravers', wearing a lime robe over it. he takes out his wand and yells 'AVADA KEDAVERA', killing everyone except Pansy. The force of the spell knocks her into the punch bowl, transproting her to a shop in knockturn ally. Voldemort appearing not long afterward. He hands her a piece of parchment. she opens the parchment and screams *pansy wakes up* what was that? she thought. She goes to her trunk and takes out a bottle of butter beer and a package of cauldron cakes and goes into the common room. She sits in an armchair infront of the fire, consouling herself in her food.

OOC: Another RPG :)

Ron: Ron walked slowly down the corridors by himself, thinking and looking at the floor. He and Hermione had been let out of the hospital earlier that day. Ron's mind was on what Harry was hiding from them. He found himself going toward Sirius's quarter so he shrugged and knocked on the door*
Sirius: Sirius was sitting in a chair, looking over some rolls of parchment Albus had given him that day, when he heard a knock on the door. He waved his wand over the parchment, and they looked like they were blank again. He walked to the door and whispered "yes?"
Ron: Ron cleared his throat. "Sirius? It's Ron..."
Sirius: Sirius opened the door "Ron! Come in."
Ron: *smiles a bit* "Thanks. Uh..." *glances around, feeling slightly uncomfortable since he's never talked to Sirius without Harry.* "Yeah, I was just wondering if you had a bit of time to talk?"
Sirius: Sirius smiled. "Of course! Just sit down in a chair you like. Want a drink?"
Ron: *nods politely* "Sure, i guess"
Sirius: He put 2 goblets on the table in front of them. "Albus teached me this nifty little trick... What do you want to drink?"
Ron: *blinks and looks down at the Goblet* "Uh... butterbeer would be nice, i suppose."
Sirius: Sirius tapped the goblet with his wand, and butterbeer appeared. He tapped on his own goblet, and scotch filled the glass. "There you go!"
Ron: *grins a bit* "Wicked!"
Sirius: Sirius grinned "Isn't it? So. What did you want to talk about?"
Ron: *looks down again* "Er.. well, you hear about the fight in potions class?" *smiles a bit and looks back up*
Sirius: Sirius tried not to smile. "Yes, Arabella told me all about it."
Ron: *laughs a bit* "Yeah, so harry visited me and Hermione in the hospital wing... but, um, he seemed like something was on his his mind. Hermione thinks he's not telling us something. Would you know anything about it?"
Sirius: Sirius looked at Ron. "Harry came to visit me... We talked a bit about the attack on the Dursleys. What did he tell you?"
Ron: "Well, er, he just told us he'd come to see you and that you talked about the Dursley's, but he had a real funny look on his face, and seemed uncomfortable."
Sirius: Sirius took a nip of his scotch. "Well, he's worried about the people he loves. You, Hermione, your parents..."
Ron: *cocks his head* "Well, yeah, but he'd tell us that wouldn't he?"
Sirius: Sirius frowned "He didn't tell you?"
Ron: "Uh... no..." *looks confused*
Sirius: "Oh. Er. Well, he is. Worried. He's worried Voldemort might attack people close to him, like he attacked the Dursleys."
Ron: "Well, yeah, he told us that awhile back but said he doesn't feel guilty anymore. This was something new."
Sirius: Sirius thought about the conversation Harry and he had, about what he could tell Ron. "I think the attack on the Dursleys got him to worry all over again. If he's ever stopped worrying, that is. He's very hard on himself."
Ron: *nods and rolls those thoughts around in his head* "Yeah... he is. Stubborn. Almost as much as Hermione." *smirks*
Sirius: *laughs* Almost. How are things between you and Hermione?
Ron: *raises an eyebrow* "Er... fine, I guess. Why?"
Sirius: *grins* "Oh, no particular reason. You were a little quiet last time I saw you."
Ron: *smirks* "I dunno. I had... stuff on my mind."
Sirius: *leans back* "Anything you want to talk about?"
Ron: *thinks for a moment* "... not really. I don't know why I've been quiet recently."
Sirius: "Maybe the upcoming war?"
Ron: "Maybe... I mean, it seems so bad, but here at Hogwarts with Dumbledore, not much has changed." *pauses and then procedes to feel rather stupid talking about things like this*
Sirius: *nods* "That's right. I'm glad things at Hogwarts haven't changed... yet."
Ron: *smiles a bit and nods* "What do you think will change if or when it does?"
Sirius: *looks thoughtful* "You can never say for sure... But I'm afraid the tension between Slytherin and Gryffindor will grow. I'm sure there are students at Hogwarts who are on Voldemorts side..."
Ron: *frowns and thinks of Malfoy* "I can't believe there are people like that."
Sirius: *looks grim* "Believe me, when I was your age, I couldn't either. Just be careful with what you say. There will always be someone around who'll use it for their own ends."
Ron: *nods slowly and thinks about who he knows that might be with Voldemort* "... what about Snape? Will he stick with us?"
Sirius: *is surprised when he doesn't even hesitate answering* "Yes. He may be a bastard, but he's always been -honest-. I'd watch out for the nice people, like Pettigrew. You can't judge a book by its cover."
Ron: *cocks his head* "I suppose. But Snape used to be a death-eater..."
Sirius: *nods* "Yes. But then we were always quite sure of that. He never made a secret of it. Just like Malfoy and his clan. Seems like Malfoy jr. looks a lot like his father, by the way."
Ron: *smirks* "Yeah. They're quite the team."
Sirius: "Heh. Yeah. Did Harry tell you about my idea, by the way?"
Ron: "Your idea? No, I don't think so..." *remembers he has butterbeer and takes a long swig*
Sirius: *takes a sip from the scotch* "Well, seeing as you three are not going to keep out of things anyway, I proposed we could work together instead."
Ron: "Ooohh!" *leans forward* "Really? You're actually going to let us help out?"
Sirius: *smiles at Ron's enthusiasm* "I think it would be best for all people involved. I think you could help us a lot, if only by keeping your eyes and ears open."
Ron: *raises an eyebrow* "So do we get to do stuff?"
Sirius: "I don't have a real plan yet. I think you'll find out a lot by just observing. Hermione's researching skills could come in handy too. It would help if we had an idea of who was on Voldemort's side, or if anyone would be willing to spy. Especially in Slytherin..."
Ron: *snickers slightly, thinking of the time he and Harry snuck into Slytherin with the Polyjuice potion* "I don't think anyone in Slytherin would help us.
Sirius: "Hmmm. I didn't think there would be Slytherins on Dumbledore's side last time, but apparently he had a lot of spies. I should talk with Snape about this some time." *winces* "Or maybe not."
Ron: *grins*
Sirius: "So. Do you have any ideas about this?"
Ron: "Er..." *thinks a bit* "Not really. I don't know, these things just usually fall on us."
Sirius: "Yes. And... what about your parents? Are they being protected?"
Ron: *nods* "Dumbledore's helping us take care of it"
Sirius: "Good. Do you think Hermione will want to help out as well?"
Ron: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. As long as it doesn't involve breaking too many rules."
Sirius: *smiles* "I hope it won't. I think I'll walk around Hogwarts a bit, as a dog, of course... Any ideas as where to start?"
Ron: *smiles* "Oh, I don't know... the kitchens were an interesting place to visit."
Sirius: *grins* "Yes, I remember the kitchen. Maybe those house elves want to talk."
Ron: *laughs slightly*
Sirius: *puts down goblet* "Well, I have an appointment with Arabella, and she hates it when I'm late..."
Ron: *nods* "alright, yeah. I suppose I should get ready for class too." *stands and finishes his butterbeer*
Sirius: *stands up* "Alright, then. Please don't talk to the others about this, yet. I want to teach you guys some spells first."
Ron: *grins and nods* "Okay! Thanks, Sirius!" *makes his way out into the halls*
Sirius: *transforms and rushes out to meet Arabella*

OOC: Is anyone awake? Or all we to hyped up for Harry Potter to post? Well, I'll start a bit then. *nudge, nudge*

*Harry walked up to the Gryffindor Common Room*

I said way too much to Ron and Hermione. I know they suspect something! I can't keep secrets.. I'm not very good at them anyway

*sits on his usual chair by the fire in the Common room and lies down.. thinking about Voldemort*

//Harry

Wednesday, November 6, 2002 // 09:27 p.m.
Harry: *walks into the hospital room with books in his hands and a glum look on his face*
Hermione: *Is awake, but drowsy*
Harry: "Are you awake? I have to talk to you both"
Hermione: *grunt* "Yeah..."
Ron: *rubs his eyes and sits up painfully, glancing down at his now healed, but sore wrist* "I'm up, I'm up"
Harry: *shakes head* "What happened to you guys really? I didn't get a chance to hear the full story.. wait - don't tell me yet. I'm sorry I walked out today. I got a bit mad" *looks down* "here's your homework. Now you can tell me what happened"
Ron: *looks at the pile of books with a disgusted face, then turns to Hermione, sighing*
Hermione: "Ugh, long story...care to explain, Ron?" *rubs bump on head*
Harry: "Well, if you're not up to it, I'm sure I';ll find out from someone.. or at least the modified version"
Hermione: "I imagine everyone will try to make it as gruesome as possible...though it was pretty vicious.."
Harry: "I see that"
Ron: *smirks* "I'll give you the short version."
Ron: "Draco was being an ass and decided to irritate us and then used the furnunculus curse on me, giving me boils, and I kind of blew up and tackled him and we fought then Hermione and Pansy started fighting.
Hermione: *goes red* "It does sound bad...even the not-so-bad version"
Ron: Professor Figg took our wands away and tried to stop us but not before Hermione's hair got turned into tentacles, Pansy turned into a flower and Draco and I bloodied each up up pretty good. Then Snape came in."
Harry: *covers his mouth and tries to hold in laughter, but doesn't succeed* "Hermione faught Pansy?"
Harry: "I see.. so where are Draco and Pansy now?"
Ron: *grins* Yeah, IO wish I wasn't so occupied so I could watch a bit" *gives Hermione a little wink*
Hermione: *smirks* "I would have won if she hadn't started KICKING...*goes red* I did NOT just say that! Oh man I'm the worst prefect ever!"
Harry: "No, you're not that bad. But.. why did Draco put boils all over you?"
Ron: *laughs painfully* "We were being smart, i think."
Hermione: "And he's an idiot." *nods*
Ron: *jerks a thumb at Hermione* "She was earning us points by ansering questions so I was obviously happy to see Draco's face."
Harry: "ahh, good. How was Figg's class anyway?"
Hermione: "Well, it was hard to notice much from the floor, but...she seems pretty knowledgeable."
Harry: "OK, I'll be sure to be there next time. Don't get yourselves into anymore trouble. And, jeez, I do feel like Hermione right now"
Ron: *nods* We didn't really get into anything before hell broke loose.
Hermione: *smiles* "Watch out, you'll be made a prefect if you don't quit that out"
Ron: *grins* Wouldn't want that, Harryyyyy
Harry: *scowls*
Hermione: "So...where did you go while we were in...hell?"
Harry: "Snuffles. I decided I need to see him anyway."
Hermione: "Ah...did he have anything interesting to say?"
Ron: *raises an eyebrow and takes a swig of water while listening intently*
Harry: *goes pale* "No.. uhh, nothing, not really"
Ron: *squints and puts his glass down* "Nothing?"
Hermione: *raises an eyebrow* "Well, if you don't want to tell us, fine...but I don't see why you can't..."
Harry: "Well, I told him about the Dursley's and all, and he hadn't heard so i talked to him about that. Surrounding that"
Ron: *crosses his arms* "So why's your face look like that? You're not still feeling guilty are you?"
Harry: *shakes head* "Nope."
Ron: *cocks his head* "Okay then... then you feeling sick? you're all white."
Harry: *can't stand not telling them about what Sirius told him* "Yeah.. I have a bit of a headache. I'm going to get back to Gryffindor Tower."
Ron: *nods slowly* "Okay... hopefully Madame Pomfrey will let us out soon"
Hermione: *looks up* "Harry, what's up? What aren't you telling us?"
Ron: *blinks, feeling stupid that he missed something like usual*
Harry: "I'm not telling you nothing, cuz I don't have anything to tell" *says confidently*
Hermione: *turns away* "fine, fine...we'll try to go up to the dormitory tonight...Madam Pomfrey will probably let us."
Harry: "Okay, I'll be there. Bye!"
Ron: *nods and waves to harry as he leaves, wondering what Hermione was talking about*
Hermione: *sighs and turns to Ron* "I still think he's not telling us something...I don't know..I suppose we should write to our parents tonight, if Dumbledore hasn't already."
Ron: *nods* "Yeah... but what wouldn't Harry tell us?"
Ron: "I mean, if he can't tell us, who can't he tell?"
Hermione: "I don't know...I just have a feeling...it's probably just something stupid. Oh well, we should get started on some of this homework!" *looks enthusiastic*
Ron: *gloomily pokes his homework* "You're weir, hermione, bloody weird."
Hermione: *grins* "Why thank you"

Hope you enjoyed that one, we certainly did ^_^

*Has just taken the potion, and is asleep....but she has a dream! O.O*

DREAM: Hermione is running through the Hogwarts grounds, when she sees dark cloaked people walking toward her, surrounding her. They all have wands and are closing in on her, when she looks down and realizes she is standing on the surface of the lake. Once she realizes this, she falls through the surface and is being dragged down into the lake. The water is cold and keeps getting darker as she sinks, but she cannot swim to the top. Suddenly a hand plunges through the water, grabs her hand and pulls her up...she is almost at the surface, when she wonders who is saving her...all she can see is flashes of bright orange, but before she can break the surface of the water she jerks awake...

What was THAT??

*Falls back to sleep*

//Hermione

Saturday, November 2, 2002 // 05:00 p.m.
Figg: Arabella waited impatiently behind her desk, for the bell to ring and students to come.
Hermione: *Is walking toward the DADA class with Ron*
Pansy: *walks in to the class room and takes her seat, impatiently waiting for Draco*
Draco: Draco leaves the slytherin commonroom, books in hand he heads towards the dada class.
Ron: Ron stuffs his hands in his rockets and looks at the floo as they reach the corridor that holds the DADA classroom
Draco: He turns the corner onto the dada corridor, eyes narrowing as he spots weasley and granger
Pansy: *sits at her desk, drawing little anime figures and day dreaming about Draco*
Hermione: *Sees Malfoy and narrows eyes...his father was one of the reasons that her family was in danger...*
Ron: *sighs as he sees Draco, really not wanting to deal with that slimeball at this tense time. He tries to reach the door before they come face to face*
Draco: smirking, he glares at Granger. Stuffing his free hand in his pocket, he saunters up to them, knowing it would aggravate them. "So, where's scarface?"
Hermione: "That's none of your business, Malfoy.."
Ron: *glares and tries to turn and open the door before Draco does any more*
Hermione: *Sees Ron head for door and follows*
Draco: narrowing his eyes, he shrugged. a mask of inddiference on his face. following them to the door. not really having a choice, because he needed to gte to class.
Hermione: *Walks through the door and sits down next to Ron and an empty seat which Harry usually filled*
Pansy: *watches as draco walks thru the door and shrieks 'Draaco! over heeeeere!'*
Ron: *leans back, and can't help but smirk at Pansy's shrieking*
Draco: walking through the door, he heads on over to the desk Pansy is at. Cringing a bit at the shrieking. Dropping his books on the desk. :hello"
Pansy: *oh draco you just wont BELIVE what has happend!*
Figg:Arabella tries not to laugh as she watches them come in. tapping her fingers on the desk, she looks towards the clock. Standing up she heads to the door closing it as the bel
Draco: dropping into the seat "i cant guess. what happened?"
Hermione: *glumly gets out books parchment and a quill*
Pansy: i broke a nail! annd i saw potty head go to dumbledore's office
Figg: Walking back to the front of the class, she sits on the edge of her desk and clears her throat for the class to be quiet. Looking pointedly at Pansy.
Draco: "so thats where scarface is then? poor baby..poor baby, probably had a nightmare" shaking his head, then turning to look at the teacher.
Hermione: *Narrows eyes at Malfoy, then turns toward the teacher*
Ron: Ron's head jerks in Malfoy's direaction, his face reddenig in anger.
Pansy: *looks at the teacher, oblivious to any looks she may recive*
Figg: Seeing that she has most of the classes attention, she smiled. "Hello everyone. I am Arabella Figg. You may call me Professor Figg. I shall be teachign you Defense
Figg: Against the Dark Arts this year. Before we begin does anyone have any questions?"
Pansy: *pansy's hand shoots up in the air*
Figg: she nodded to the girl "yes, miss..?"
Pansy: *are we going to work with pixies?*
Hermione: *rolls eyes*
Pansy: *glares at ron*
Draco: snorting at her question, he tries to hide a laugh.
Ron: *raises an eyebrow and smirks back at Pansy*
Pansy: *is confused by the fact noone will answer her question*
Figg: smiling she shook her head no "no my dear, we will not be working with pixies this year"
Hermione: *Raises hand*
Pansy: *oh :pouts:*
Figg: nodding towards Hermione "yes miss granger?"
Hermione: "Will we be doing much hands-on learning this year? If so, when will we start?"
Pansy: *:cough:brainiac:cough:*
Ron: *twitches slightly, his nerves wearing thin*
Hermione: *Ignores Pansy, glances at Ron, then looks back to Figg*
Figg: "Yes. Dumbledore has asked me to teach you guys some defense techniques, as well as train you in duling. But we wont begin any hands on lessons until we finsish the theory, so about sometime after christmas holidays"
Pansy: *sticks tounge out at granger*
Hermione: *Ignores Pansy but is slowly becoming more aggravated*
Pansy: *basks in the apparent aggrivation of weasly and granger*
Figg: Raising an eyebrow at the students "Is that all?"
Draco: just watches the happenings, smirking.
Hermione: *Bites lip then forces a smile to Prof. Figg to show there are no more questions*
Ron: *eventually turns back to the professor*
Figg: smiling she nodded. "alright then please open you text to p
Figg: age 30. According to Dumbledore you guys have been exposed to the Imperius curse. So we will begin with theory on that. Can anyone tell me what the Imperious curse does?"
Hermione: *Hand shoots up*
Figg: "yes miss granger?"
Pansy: *bangs head to imaginary music, drawing little flowers and hearts in her book*
Ron: *smiles at Hermione's usual enthusiasm*
Hermione: "The Imperius Curse, one of the Unforgivable Curses, puts a person under your total control...only some have been known to fight it, and if used illegally, it can put someone in Azkaban for life."
Figg: "right. 5 points to Gryffindor. Now can anyone tell me why someone would want to do this?"
Draco: Draco raises his hand
Figg: "yes mr. malfoy?"
Draco: "to have power over the person. The more people you hold under your control, the more power you have. "
Hermione: *Narrows eyes and whispers to Ron* "Wonder why he'd know THAT..."
Ron: *snickers silently*
Pansy: *raises hand*
Figgs: "yes miss parkinson?"
Pansy: will this be on a test?
Draco: Malfoy rolls his eyes and glares at Weasley and Granger, reaching in his pocket pulling out his wand holding it under the desk. Whispering a few words, he waits for the boils to start popping up on Weasley.
Draco: putting his wand away before anyone could see it
Ron: *still smirking, suddenly he feels his skin get warm and looks fown at his hands. Small blister began to form and then grew into large boils all over his palms and began traveling up his arms*
Ron: *he let out a cry of anguish and bolted to his feet, spinning around, his eyes narrowed at Malfoy*
Hermione: *Glances at Ron and sees large boils spreading rapidly over his arms*
Hermione: *Shrieks*
Pansy: *pouts cuz professor figg didn't answer her*
Pansy: *laughs hystarically when she sees weasly has boils all over his arm*
Ron: *the boils spread quickly all over his skin and are eventually spreading up his neck and onto his freckled, furiously red face*
Figg: "no, pansy it won';t.." she trailed off as Hermione shrieked and saw the boils popping up on Rons arms. Heading over them surprised.
Pansy: ooh
Figg: Taking out her wand she says the countercurse and the boils stop, but the ones already there remain.
Pansy: *continues laughing*
Hermione: *Pulls out wand and hits Pansy with the Furnunculous Curse*
Ron: *without thinking, dashes away from the professor and Hermione and leaps at Malfoy, a clenched fists cuffing the blonde boy across the face*
Pansy: *screams*
Draco: Glaring at Ron, holding his cheek. he punches him in the stomach
Pansy: *cries*
Hermione: *Runs over to Ron and Malfoy*
Figg: "oh..dear..please, stop it.." flustered she looks between the two "mr. weasley, miss granger...mr. malfoy, miss parkinson..pelase stop."
Pansy: *stops crying at the realization she looks like a flower*
Hermione: *Yells at Figg* "DO SOMETHING!"
Ron: *doubles over and tackles him, pulling him down to the floor*
Pansy: *picks up wand and makes granger's hair turn into tentacles*
Hermione: *feels Pansy's spell hit her, then screams as she feels her hair*
Hermione: *Forgets about being a Prefect, and her fist somehow collides with Pansy's face*
Figg: *whispering another spell
Figg: he grabs all the wands heading towards her. Walking in between Malfoy and Weasley she glares at the lot of them "50 points from slytherin and gryffindor. 2 weeks detention for
Pansy: *pulls grangers ha-tentacles*
Draco: ignoring figg he kicks ron in the stomach, trying to shove him off.
Hermione: *Wand gone, she kicks the back of Pansy's legs making her fall over*
Pansy: *pulls granger down with her*
Hermione: *The rest of the class is standing around watching*
Ron: *grunting at the pain in his stomach, he repeatedly connets knuckles with Draco's nose*
Ron: connects*
Draco: reaching up he grabs ron's fist as he hits him again. and twists it sideways, smirking as he hears a crunch Pansy: *gets up and kicks granger*
Ron: *cries out and retaliates by kneeing Malfoy in the gut*
Hermione: *screams in pain*
Snape: Snape walks through the corridors near the DADA classroom, when he hears a noise
Figg: reaching over she tries to pull Weasley and Malfoy off eachother. Seeing snape "please..help!"
Pansy: *shouts: I AM IN MY TRUE FORM! and punches granger again*
Snape: When he recognizes someone screaming, he decides to go check
Hermione: *Is knocked backwards and head hits the ground, knocking her out*
Snape: He opens the door swiftly, and stares in shock at the mess in the classroom
Pansy: *screams power to the flower! and runs around laughing*
Draco: wincing he lets go of Rons wrist, finally pushing him off. and accidentaly hitting Mrs Figg
Hermione: *Lays on the floor...still knocked out...*
Ron: *rolls across the floor then painfully gets to his feet when he hears pansy shout*
Snape: "WEASLEY! MALFOY!"
Ron: *eyes go wide as he sees Hermione and limp over toher, clutching his wrist, then freezing at Snape's outburst*
Ron: limps over to her*
Pansy: *runs to weasly and knocks him in the head*
Snape: *shouts* "What is happening here????"
Figg: *putting a hand where she was hit she shakes her head and heads over to miss granger. Pointing her wand at her she says "ennervate" and waits for her to wake up.
Snape: "Arabella?"
Hermione: *Jerks awake* "Huh? Oww...."
Ron: *stares down at Hermione, his instincts making him ignore SNape* "Hermione! Are you alright??"
Snape: "Arabella, are you alright? Granger?" Snape looks around in what close friends might recognize as panic
Pansy: *continues running around the room until she runs into a wall*
Hermione: "Ron....did I just...brawl?"
Pansy: *falls back*
Figg: "we were just having class. Then Mr. Weasley starts
Ron: *would laugh but is in too much pain, so he just smiles slightly and nods*
Hermione: "Oh dear....."
Snape: *grits teeth* "Weasley. OUT. To Dumbledore. NOW."
Figg: sprouting boils, and then miss granger hit pansy with a curse, then weasley attacked malfoy and all hell broke loose...and no one would listen. i took there wandsa away took points away and tried to pull them apart but it didnt work
Ron: *jerks up at his name* "Malfoy used magic on me!!! Look at my skin!!:
Hermione: *Hears Figg* "No! It wasn't Ron's fault!"
Pansy: *:cries: i can nol onger be my inner self!*
Snape: "And where is Potter? Off with Dumbledore AGAIN?"
Ron: *red as a tomatoe* "Harry has NOTHING to do with this!!"
Hermione: *rubs head*
Draco: stands aside just watching everyone, looking at pansy he shakes his head, looking down at the ground.
Snape: "I'd think in the light of what happened yesterday, the students could at least have been MORE CAREFUL."
Pansy: *professor! she made me look like a flower!! :points at granger:*
Pansy: *not that i'm complaining...but still!*
Ron: * holds his hand out to Hermione to help her up, though realzing she probably wouldn't want to grab his puffy hand*
Snape: *waves wand in Pansy's direction* "There you are. And now, OUT. Go to your dorm."
Hermione: *Looks at Ron's hand, and grabs his arm, which is covered by his robes instead*
Pansy: *but professor we were going to have a tea party!*
Hermione: *Scowls at Pansy and struggles to stay standing*
Snape: "OUT. Or do you want me to give you a detention?"
Pansy: *no ma'm*
Ron: *heaves Hermione up and holds her there, then procedes to tug her towards the door*
Pansy: :grabs stuff, smirks at weasly and granger and leaves*
Figg: glaring at pansy and the rest of them she waves her hand shakily to the door "class dismissed. I'll contact you with your detentions. 50 points form both houses"
Snape: "Now, Weasley. OUT. Go to Pomfrey. We'll decide on punishment later."
Hermione: *Shakes head* "Sir...it wasn't his fault.."
Ron: *curses under his breath, and tugs on Hermione, no need for her to get in trouble*
Figg: "that wont be necessary professor snape, I already gave them there punishments.."
Snape: *glares at Hermione* "Granger. I suggest you visit Pomfrey as well."
Hermione: *hurts too much to say much* "Yes, sir..." *looks down*
Snape: "Figg. Seeing as you couldn't even control this situation..."
Ron: *lead Hermione out of the classroom*
Hermione: "I shouldn't have lost my temper...I'm the worst prefect in the whole school.." *Looks like she's about to cry*
Figgs: sighing, she glared half-heartedly at him "I tried! noone would even listen to me... no matter what i did.." she bit her lip, already feeling bad enough about this happening..
Snape: *hears Hermione leave the classroom* "I agree." he sneered
Pansy: *wonders down the hall realizing she called snape ma'm she falls to the floor laughing*
Snape: "Figg. You have magic. You could have summoned Dumbledore. Instead, you let 15 year old KIDS take control of the situation." he says, like he's talking to an overgrown worm.
Hermione: *Hears Pansy laughing* "Oh she's horrible...come on Ron, I need to sit or something..."
Draco: glares at the floor, hand over his nose, and heads out the door. Passing weasley and granger, ignoring them, he heads towardsthe common room
Snape: *seeing everyone leave, he motions Arabella to sit down*
Ron: *discreetly flips Snape the bird then walks out with Hermione, supporting her with his unbroken arm. Seeing her panicked expression, he gave her a slight gentle squeeze* "Not your fault, Hermione. I started it all..."
Pansy: *goes into the common room and to her dormitory, laughing the whole time*
Figg: sighing she sits down at her desk, head in her hands.
Snape: *feeling a tug of guilt, he sits down*, thinking "Oh no. I'm going soft in my old days."
Figg: Looking up at Snape, she waited for his lecture
Hermione: *Limps along holding onto Ron's unbroken arm*
Snape: *looking at Arabella, he sees she's in no state for a lecture* "Arabella. What happened?"
Pansy: *writes in her diary about the fight in DADA, so that she can boast about it this evening*
Ron: *they slowly, slowly make their way to the hospital wing, Ron's face scrunched in pain, but still more worried about Hermione, he cracks a smile* "I finally got the chance to give Malfoy a bloody nose"
Hermione: *grins slightly but shakes head* "Still...50 points.."
Ron: *shrugs but then stops shrugging seeing as how it produced more pain* "We'll earn it back easily. You get us 'bout 30 a day just for answering all those questions"
Figg: she shook her head, feeling old and tired "I don't know. We were just talking about the imperious
Figg: curse..then Weasley started sprouting boils..and it just went crazy. No matter what I did or threatened they wouldn't stop. "
Hermione: *Goes red and can't suppress a smile*
Ron: *grins back at her, his lip bleeding slightly, but his face no longer beat red*
Snape: *tries to scrunch his face into a comforting smile* "Which is understandable, seeing as you had GRYFFINDORS in your class."
Figg: shaking her head, she smiled a bit at that. thankful some things never changed "yes. whats with those four anyway?"
Snape: "Four?" Snape scrunched up his face again, thinking the Gryffindors multiplied while he wasn't watching
Figg: "malfoy, granger, weasley and parkinson. everythign seemed to be ok, just a bit of tension..then bam. they all start trying to kill eachother.."
Hermione: *walks slowly up the staircase to the hospital wing*
Snape: "Malfoy and the Gryffindors are like fire and water. Some things never change."
Pansy: *reaches into her trunk and pulls out a chocolate frog. Opens it, and catches it when it jumps and eats it*
Ron: *knocks on Madame Pomfrey's door with an elbow*
Figg: she shrugged, pushing some stray hand from her face. wincing as she feels a bruise on her cheek "shame it can't.."
Snape: *sees her bruise* "Who did this?"
Figg: she shook her head "i'm not sure..."
Snape: *grits his teeth* "Little brats, even hurting professors now" *waves his wand to heal the bruise*
Pomfrey: *opens door 'Mr. Weasly! Ms. Granger! What HAPPEND?*
Ron: *glances at Hermione* "Er... there was a bit of a fight in our DADA class."
Ron: "Malfoy started it" he added quickly
Pomfery: *Oh you poore dears! Now, now, dont play the blame game that's my job :-)*
Figg: she smiled a bit "thanks.."
Snape: "Now, we'd better be off to Dumbledore, to prevent happenings like this in the future."
Hermione: *limps into hospital wing*
Pomfery: *:helps Ms. Granger to a bed: Now you sit*
Figg:nodding she stands up, heading towards the door. She looks around at her disheveled clasroom and shakes her head. waiting at the door for snape
Ron: Ron winced and watched Hermione closely as she sat down. "Malfoy did something to my wrist... and then there's the boils...."
Pomfery: *You take a seat, too Mr. Weasly*
Snape: Snape waved his wand again, cleaning up the classroom with a simple spell, thinking "Look at me, even resorting to wand waving now" *scowls*
Hermione: *lays down and rubs a large bump on her head and feels a black eye coming*
Pomfery: * Now you two stay there while i fix you something. :tries to walk into her office thru the wall, but bumps into it. realizing she's not a ghost, uses the door.:*
Ron: *sits down, clutching his wrist still, biting his lip*
Hermione: "Are you alright, Ron?"
Ron: *smiles and straightens, trying to hide the pain* "I'm fine, Hermione. How's your head?"
Figg: she shrugged looking at the room "i was just going to leave it till later.." ive been gone too long, she thought
Hermione: *winces* "It's fine...not broken.." *looks at his wrist*
Snape: Looking at his former professor, he started walking towards Dumbledore's office
Pomfery: *:walks back out holding two goblets.: Miss Granger, please sit up. :hands granger a goblet:*
Ron: *can't help but chuckle slightly* "Well, this will be a great story to tell Harry."
Pomfery: *:walks over to weasly: Mr. Weasly, :hands weasly goblet:*
Figgs: she shut the door and followed him down the hall
Ron: *takes the goblet from Pomfrey with his free hand*
Pomfery: *Now you two drink up. It has some erm slight side effects, but you'll feel just fine*
Hermione: *groans and drinks, choking a little*
Ron: *looks at the liquid for a moment, before raising it to his lips and gulping it down*
Hermione: *Puts down goblet, then falls back against the bed as it makes her fall asleep*
Ron: *feeling drowsy, Ron sets the goblet down on the endtable next to the beds, and lies back, gazing over at Hermione as she falls asleep, smiles slightly, shaking his head then konks out himself*
Snape: Arriving at Dumbledore's office, he spoke the password, opened the door and walked in……

Hello, here's another RP, of Harry and Sirius:

Harry: *knocks on Sirius' door*
Sirius: *walks to the door* "Hello?"
Harry: "It's just me"
Sirius: "Harry! Come in."
Harry: "Hi" *walks in and sits down on a chair*
Sirius: *seeing Harry's face, he gets concerned* "Harry? Is everything alright?" *sits down in the other chair*
Harry: *gets up* "Well.. didn't you hear about the Dursleys? Their house got attacked yesterday. It's not them I'm concerned about.. it's everyone else"
Sirius: *looks shocked* "Oh no. No one told me..." *puts his hand on Harry's shoulder*
Harry: "Oh no, I'm fine.. what about Ron and Hermione's families?
Sirius: "What did Albus say? Come, you better sit down."
Harry: "About Ron and Hermione?"
Sirius: "Just, in general... I didn't speak with him yet."
Harry: "In general.. well, he was sort of brief. Err.. he said basically what I said."
Sirius: "Do you know what happened to the Dursleys?"
Harry: "Well, Cruciatus curse. I don't think they were hurt badly, and frankly I don't care, just that I'm scared about them trying to hurt people I really care about"
Sirius: "Yeah, I can imagine... But they're still your family" *looks troubled for a moment* "Er... but about Hermione and Ron. Hermione's parents are Muggles, right?"
Harry: "Yes"
Sirius: *gets up from his chair* "Oh. I guess... We'll have to take action to protect them, then. Especially if they're Muggles."
Harry: "Yeah.. well, I'm worried.. and I'm sure they're worried too"
Sirius: *turns around* "They'll be OK, Harry. It's a different situation than 15 years ago, Hermione's or Ron's parents shouldn't be important to Voldemort."
Harry: "Yea-- never mind"
Sirius: "No, I'm not saying I'm guaranteeing they're out of danger, just that I'm sure Dumbledore will take precautions. If that..." *makes a face* "Rat. Hadn't been a traitor all these years ago your parents would have still been alive. Dumbledore won't make another mistake like that."
Harry: "I know he won't. Of course he won't"
Sirius: "But you're still worried, right?"
Harry: "Yes.. aren't you?"
Sirius: "I am. I'm very concerned about the situation. Do you... do you think you could let us deal with it and keep out of it yourself though? Honestly?"
Harry: "I'll try to keep out of it. You know what happens with me.. I always end up getting involved in things"
Sirius: *looks thoughtful* "I know... that's why I want to ask you something. Would you like to... work with me against Voldemort? I think you can't keep out of it anyway, so I'd rather have you working with me than behind my back."
Harry: *looks interested* "Yes!!!!"
Sirius: *smiles* "Alright. I think Ron and Hermione's parents will be safest if you 3 are helping us, because you obviously know more than we do."
Harry: "They can help too? Can I go tell them? They might not be too happy with me right now.. it might brighten things up. I sorta walked out on them in the owlery"
Sirius: "Yes, I think they should be in. I'm not sure what Albus will think of this, but I think you're all involved, no matter how old you are. Were they angry with you?"
Harry: "No, they weren't angry. They were trying to comfort me. I just ran away cause I got frustrated"
Sirius: *looks concerned* "You do know none of this is your fault, right? It really isn't. You can't help any of this."
Harry: *looks defeated* "I guess it's not..."
Sirius: *walks to Harry, puts both his hands on his shoulders* "Harry. It really isn't. It's not your fault Voldemort was after your parents, it had nothing to do with you. You're just a kids. If fully trained wizards couldn't defeat you, how could you have done it last year? It's a miracle you're still alive."
Harry: *looks at Sirius*
Sirius: "You've been so brave these last few years. Not many wizards can say they've met with Voldemort eye to eye and survived the experience. The fact you've managed to escape all those times shows you're a great wizard, Harry. None of this has been your mistake."
Harry: "Ok, thanks"
Sirius: *smiles slightly* "But you don't believe me. You're so much like your mother, Harry, even though you *look* like your father."
Harry: "You have to have a bit of both sides... I believe you."
Sirius: *feeling like he'd hit some wall, he sat down in his chair again* "She would have been so proud of you. Just like James." *smiles*
Harry: *face screws up* *shrugs*
Sirius: *raises his eybrows* "why are you so hard on yourself?"
Harry: "I don't know.. I've always been hard on my self"
Sirius: "Look at yourself. You're a great boy. You're nice, you're intelligent, you have great friends. You have a lot of magical talent, among other talents. A lot of people care about you, and that's not about that scar on your forehead. Why would you still be hard on yourself?"
Harry: *shrugs* I told you, I've always been like this. It just comes.. I don't really think about it. Actually, it never really started until I found out the truth about my parents"
Sirius: "Do you feel guilty about that?"
Harry: "Yes, you know, I've never really talked about this to anyone"
Sirius: *smiles* "It's good to talk sometimes. All those pent up emotions just make for headaches and stomach aches."
Harry: *grins*
Sirius: "So, why'd you feel guilty?"
Harry: "I'm not even going to tell you cause you'll yell at me"
Harry: "Why do you think?"
Sirius: "Yell at you? Have I ever yelled at you?"
Harry: "No, I mean nag"
Harry: "-- Uh.. I never said that"
Sirius: "I won't. I promise I'll just listen, and I'm sure I won't get angry."
Harry: "Fine. Because I practically killed my parents. Isn't it obvious to everyone?"
Sirius: *stares at Harry* "You killed your parents? Why do you think that?"
Harry: "Yes.. I did, because my mother tried to save me!"
Sirius: "You have to see it like this. Though your mother died to save you, you did not *kill* her. Your mother loved you so much. She couldn't have beared to live without both you and James. It would have killed her. You were just an innocent baby, it's horrible you had to go through all this. It's not even remotely your fault."
Harry: "Okay"
Harry: "I believe you Sirius"
Sirius: "You don't feel guilty for living, do you?"
Harry: "No"
Harry: "I'm glad I'm here.. I don't want to die."
Sirius: *looks relieved* "I'm glad you don't. I'm very, very happy you survived, it's like a part of James and Lily is still alive. And I like you, Harry. Not just because you're their son."
Harry: "Yes, I suppose most people are"
Sirius: *smiles* "Only most people?"
Harry: "What about Death Eaters.... and.. er.. Snape!"
Sirius: *grins broadly* "Believe me, you don't want to be liked by Snape. I don't think anyone would survive the experience."
Sirius: *frowns* "Although..." *trails off*
Harry: "Although what?"
Sirius: "Er... never mind"
Harry: "No, I told you stuff.. now you tell me"
Sirius: *laughs* "Uh oh. I guess you have a point there. Well... Snape did save your life a couple of times. He's er... been looking out for you."
Harry: "Once."
Harry: "And I think he does it to look good"
Sirius: *looks at the ground* "I think he doesn't. I don't think he hates you as much as you think."
Harry: "Well, why does he make our life a living hell?"
Sirius: *frowns* "That bad? He just hates me with a passion. He hated the four of us... But he seemed to like Lily."
Harry: "Well, you too.. but I meant me, Ron and Hermione"
Sirius: "Er... yes. I think... He hates all Gryffindors, to begin with. And he... He er... You know he was a death eater, right?"
Harry: "Yeah, I found out last year"
Sirius: "Do you... Hmmm. I'm not sure if you know about this, but I'd like to keep this an absolute secret. Between me and you. Ok?"
Harry: "Okay, can I tell Ron and Hermione?"
Sirius: "Would you mind if it was just between me and you, for this one time?"
Harry: "Okay, I won't tell them."
Sirius: "Ok... Snape is a spy for Dumbledore currently. He's risking his life to get information for us, from Voldemort and the death eaters."
Harry: Ah. That was suspected. That's why Dumbledore trusts him?"
Sirius: "It's not the reason he trusts him, but... yes. I think he is to be trusted. So he has a certain image to keep as well... I'm not defending him, I hate him too, but he has his reasons."
Harry: "Okay, I got it. Thanks for telling me. And I promise I'll tell you stuff that I find out. Err.. yeah. I'm going to go apologize to Ron and Hermione"
Sirius: "Ok... I'll talk to Dumbledore and Remus about this. And I might even have to talk to Snape." *scrunches up his face*
Harry: "Ugh. Try to avoid it. Thanks then, bye, I'll come see you soon!"
Sirius: *smiles* "I'm glad you stopped by. Good luck with Hermione and Ron."
Harry: *rolls eyes* "Thanks."
Harry: *opens door and walks out*
Sirius: *grinning, he closes the door*

Tuesday, October 29, 2002 // 07:41 p.m.
Hermione: *Hermione could not sleep the past night, and was woken up quite early...instead of laying in bed, she decided to do some schoolwork in the common room until breakfast time*
Hermione: *about an hour later...*
Ron: *Ron yawned and scratched his head, stepping down the staircase in his pajamas. He walks over and plops down into his usual chair next to Hermione* "Morning, Hermione..." he says, still obviously half asleep.
Hermione: *looks up* "Good morning...sleep well?"
Hermione: *checks over parchment and puts it away, sighing*
Ron: *shrugs* "eh, I slept okay, I guess..." *peers over at her parchement and rolls his eyes, smiling a bit* "homework, already, Hermione?"
Hermione: "I couldn't sleep...I heard you and Harry last night...did I miss out on something funny?"
Ron: *it took a few seconds for Ron's mind to register what she was asking and remember their conversation. He shook his head* "Oh, it was nothing. Just stupid stuff, you know."
Hermione: "Hmm...is he still sleeping?" Ron: *nods and runs a hand through his hair, gazing at her for a moment* "Yeah. Quidditch wore him out I think."
Hermione: "Ah. Do you think it's almost time for breakfast?"
Ron: *nods again* Yeah, I'll go wake him up. *turns to go to the stairs*
Hermione: "I'm going to get my stuff for morning classes"
Ron: *smiles back at her and continues to go get Harry*
Hermione: *walks down the dorm stairs into the Common Room with transfiguration and arithmancy books*
Hermione: *Sees Ron is not back, so sits down on a chair and nods off*
Ron: *walks into the dorm and goes over to Harry's bunk*
Harry: *groans when he hears someone walking to his bed*
Ron: *grins down at the sleeping boy then bends down and gives him a good shove* "Harry! Time to wake up, sleeping beauty!"
Harry: *groans again* "Shut up.. I was going to get up" *opens eyes*
Harry: "I'll be down in a sec. You go downstairs"
Ron: *laughs and shrugs* "Okay, whatever." *turns back and walks down the stairs, rubbing some of the sleep out of his eyes*
Hermione: *is now sleeping on the armchair in front of the fire*
Ron: *glances around then spots Hermione's fluffy hair hanging over the back of an armchair. walks over and smiles then taps her shoulder lightly*
Hermione: *Jumps* "What? Oh...sorry, didn't sleep well...is Harry up?"
Harry: *walks downstairs* "Yes.. now I am"
Harry: "No thanks to Ron" *ahem*
Hermione: "Good morning. Shall we go down to breakfast?"
Ron: *grins and shrugs* "Guess so."
Harry: "Yeah sure"
Hermione: *Walks out of portrait hole with Harry and Ron*
Harry: "What's wrong with us? How come we can't talk?"
Hermione: "I'm just really tired...I dunno about you two."
Harry: "Mm hmm.. that's it.. something going on between you too?"
Hermione: *raises an eyebrow* "What are you talking about?"
Harry: "I knew it!" *nods and laughs*
Harry: *dances around ron and hermione* "weeee!"
Ron: *laughs* Harry, you're a bloody git
Harry: "No I'm not! haha!"
Hermione: "Yeah you are, Harry" *smiles*
Harry: *McGonagall walks up to an exuberant Harry* "Dumbledore would like to see you.. in his office"
Hermione: *Looks startled* "What's this about?"
Harry: *looks at hermione and Ron* *shrugs* "Okay"
Ron: *blinks* "Do we get to come?"
Harry: McGonagall: "Well, I understand that you'd want to acompany your friends, but I think Professor Dumbledore would like to see Mr Potter alone."
Hermione: *looks worried* "Alright...do you know how long it'll take?"
Harry: McGonagall: "Should be back for the end of breakfast"
Harry: *shrugs* "Okay guys, I'll see you later"
Hermione: "Alright...we'll wait in the great hall for you, then"
Ron: *still a slightly worried expression on his face* "Okay, then. I'll save you some bacon!"
Harry: *smiles back*
Hermione: *walks into great hall with Ron* "I wonder what that's about?"
Ron: *thinks* "I don't know. I'm sure everythin will be alright." *reaches their table and takes a seat*
Hermione: *sits down next to Ron and takes some eggs* "I honestly can't think of anything Dumbledore could want him for...unless its about missing that Potions lesson"
Ron: *shakes his head and piles his plate* "Naw, I can see McGonagall getting involved there, but not Dumbledore... maybe it's about Si... Snuffles."
Hermione: "Maybe...but then why couldn't we go with?"
Ron: "Maybe it's some personal thing. Harry'll probably tell us, but maybe Dumbledore wasn't sure if we should be there or not."
Ron: "Or McGonagall is just being her usual stuffy self and doesn't want us tagging along"
Hermione: "Well, I'm sure she has a reason...she might be strict, but she's still pretty fair."
Harry: *walks into the great hall and pale face* *sits down*
Hermione: *looks worried* "What was that about?"
Ron: *looks over at Harry* "You look like you've seen a ghost!"
Harry: "Well, err.. The Death Eaters attacked The Dursleys, which I don't mind.. they're in the hospital now. I'm putting people in danger"
Harry: "Don't even try and say that's not true cause it is"
Hermione: *chokes* "WHAT?? Are they OK? How did they...why? What else did Dumbledore say??"
Ron: *gets wide-eyed and slightly pale, and stops eating* "sshh, Hermione, keep you voice down!"
Hermione: "Come on, let's get out of here....someone might hear us.."
Harry: "Okay"
Harry: "The Dursley's are fine.. I guess they're trying to show that they'll hurt anyone I know"
Hermione: *turns very white* "come on..let's go find a more private place to talk"
Harry: *Looks at Ron and Hermione with a nervous face* I think you should tell your parents to get somewhere safer"
Harry: "Both of you? They could be hurt.. you know?"
Ron: *follows Harry and Hermione out into the hall and shakes his head* "Harry, no WAY. They might be after YOU. And besides, where's safer than at Hogwarts?"
Harry: *starts walking out with Ron and Hermione*
Hermione: "Good idea....let's go to the owlery...no one will be up there yet"
Harry: "No, I'm talking about your parents.. Not YOU I'm not worried about you until you step out of Hogwarts"
Hermione: "Well let's go send owls to our parents...they're Muggles though, how will they hide?"
Ron: *gets very pale, even his freckles lighten* "Dad's with the minitstry, he'd now about this. And mum's with him. Charlie's back in Romania..."
Harry: "Beats me? God.. I'm sorry.."
Ron: *narrows his eyes and looks at Harry sympathetically* "Harry, there are horrible wizards in the world, it's not your fault they've targeted you."
Harry: "Yes it is. That's the whole reason he's risen again"
Ron: "But that's not your fault! Harry, it's not like you chose to defeat him when you were a baby."
Hermione: "You-Know-Who doesn't care about that, Ron. He's blinded by his power...he LIKES killing...Harry's just an excuse to kill more innocent people..."
Harry: *Looks at Ron* "I'm going to... Transfiguration"
Harry: *walks out*
Hermione: *turns to Ron* "Oh my god...what are we going to do?"
Ron: *watches Harry go, mouth left hanging slightly opened, then turned to Hermione slowly, guilt and worry filling his eyes* "I don't know, Hermione..."
Hermione: "Well..." *sighs* "Ron, I'm worried...my parents are MUGGLES...they'll be You-Know-Who's first targets if he finds out Harry's one of my best friends!"
Ron: *stops thinking about how guilty Harry feels for a moment, and grasps Hermione's shoulders gently* "Let's go to Dumbledore."
Hermione: *Is scared, but feels somewhat comforted by Ron* "alright...we can send the owls at lunch break..."
Hermione: *Walks away with Ron*'

Pansy snaps out of her trance as someone sits near the fire. She looks around and discovers it's Draco, and moves closer to him.

//Pansy

Friday, October 25, 2002 // 07:12 a.m.
Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Draco enters the common room. Looking around he notices Goyle, Crabbe and some others playing poker in the back of the common room, and Pansy in front of the fire. Shaking his head, he walks over to a seat near the fireplace. (( mines littleplaygerl...but yeah.

Saturday, October 19, 2002 // 02:08 p.m.
OOC: this is long overdue, it's a little RP, featuring Cho, Hermione, Padma, Parvati and Snape. This odd group had a potions class over AIM. I'm very sorry about posting this so late, I could blame it on the editing job (which was very confusing as Hermione and Cho are the same person, as well as Padma and Parvati), but actually it's all my own fault. So. I'll just be here burying my head in the sand while you can all smack me.

Parvati: *enters classroom*
Snape: *walks through the hall, glaring at anyone that dared look at him*
Hermione: *Hermione was in the great hall with Harry and Ron when Professor McGonigall said she needed to speak with them...Hermione said she'd meet them at Potions, and she left early to find someone to talk to before class*
Parvati: *sits down*
Snape: *seeing the Granger girl, he thinks it would be nice to confront her for a moment, before changint his mind and walking fast in the direction of his classroom*
Hermione: *She walks to the dungeon and waits outside the classroom door...I don't want to be in there any longer than I have to..."*
Padma: *is walking behind cho*
Parvati: *sigh* *mutters* I hate potions
Cho: *turns around* "Hey, Padma, what's up?"
Hermione: *Sees Parvati inside the classroom and waves*
Snape: *stops in the dungeons to get a book out of his storage room*
Padma: "Oh! hi cho! not much!"
Padma: "What about you?"
Cho: Potions...fun...I've got Study of Ancient Runes now
Snape: *walks swiftly to the classroom, seeing some students waiting in front of the door*
Padma: "lucky..i'll see you later cho!"
Cho: *sighs* See you later!
Parvati: *walks out* "Hey Cho!"
Snape: *walking past the students, glaring at them, he entered the classroom*
Parvati: "Hi hermione!"
Hermione: "Hey Parvati!" *Sees Snape walk scowling into the room* "I was hoping I'd find someone to talk to!"
Parvati: "yes same here!"
Parvati: "we'd better get inside..."
Hermione: *sighs* "Yeah...do you know what we're doing in class today?"
Snape: *sits behind his desk, looking at the clock, willing it to move so he could give the students who came late extra homework*
Parvati: "i have no idea..."
Hermione: *Sees Snape looking at clock* "Ugh...we
Hermione: "We'd better sit...he's probably just waiting for something to blame us for..."
Parvati: "yes..." *enters and takes a seat*
Hermione: *Sits next to Parvati and looks up at Snape...Harry and Ron are not back yet*
Snape: *looking at the students entering, he looks dissappointed and stands up*
Parvati: *looks at snape*
Hermione: *pulls out parchment and a quill*
Snape: "Silence! Open your books at page 163"
Parvati: *opens book* "grrreaaat...this will be a fun class..."
Parvati: *takes out parchment & scribbles a note asking about ron & harry, passes it 2 hermione*
Snape: "Today, we will be making a dogbreath potion" he smirks at the word "dog"
Parvati: *looks up, hoping snape didnt notice*
Parvati: *raises hand*
Hermione: *Reads: Where are Harry and Ron? Scribbles back: McGonagall needed them...I don't know for how long stops writing as Parvati's hand goes up*
Parvati: "Professor, I don't mean to sound rude but...when in life will we need a dog breath potion?"
Parvati: *reads note from the corner of her eye*
Hermione: *looks nervously between Parvati and Snape*
Snape: *glares at Parvati* "Miss Patil, don't you think you should leave the schedule of this class to ME?"
Parvati: "uhhh yes, my appologies"
Hermione: *coughs*
Snape: *suddenly sees 2 empty chairs*. "Miss Granger! Where, may I ask, are Mr Potter and Mr Weasley?"
Parvati: *chokes*
Hermione: *clears throat* "Professor McGonagall needed them, sir...she didn't say what for."
Parvati: *writes: wonder wot she needed them for...kind of odd dont you think?*
Hermione: *Looks smug at disappointing Snape*
Parvati: *tries not to laugh, snape seemed angry at the fact he wouldnt be yelling at anyone today*
Snape: *looks furious for a moment, then a sour smile spreads over his face* I'll ask Minerva later about that. "We'll see about that."
Parvati: *rolls eyes*
Hermione: "What does that mean? You don't BELIEVE me?"
Parvati: "ofcourse he doesnt believe you! he never believes anyone!" *blurts out*
Parvati: *smacks hand over her mouth*
Hermione: *looks wide eyed at Parvati, almost laughs*
Snape: "Miss Granger. If you're looking for some extra homework, that can be arranged, of course."
Hermione: **
Parvati: ::oh no! me and my big mouth!::
Hermione: *narrows eyes at Snape* mumbles: "I was only telling the truth, sir..."
Snape: *looks very angry* "Miss Patil!! You will be serving detention tonight at 8, come to this classroom."
Parvati: *looks extremely angry*
Snape: "If anyone else would like to join miss Patil, I suggest they speak now." he looks around
Hermione: *scowls and scribbles back to Parvati's note* "I'd rather be with them than with this stubborn maggot."
Parvati: *writes: deffinetly, I hope they come back soon!*
Hermione: *scowls and nods*
Snape: Seeing the Slytherins smirk, he lifted up his lips a bit. Nothing better to get in a good mood than teaching a potions class with Gryffindors. "Everyone, follow the instructions in your books. Begin."
Parvati: *begins to read the book*
Hermione: *Pulls cauldron onto the table*
Hermione: "What will we need?"
Parvati: "theres a list right here," *begins to read off the list*
Snape: *walks around the class*. He looks at Malfoy adding too many scarab beetles to his potion. He chose to ignore it and look what Longbottom was doing.
Hermione: *Gets ingredients from cupboard, scowls as Snape ignores Malfoy's mistakes*
Parvati: *almost cracks up knowing malfoy's potion will go up in smoke*
Hermione: *shakes head and smiles at Parvati, then pours listed ingredients into the potion*
Parvati: *looks over potion* "I think we've done it, we just need to let it sit for a while..."
Snape: *Seeing Longbottom blunder again,* "Mr Longbottom. Hopeless as always. Would you like to be paired up with Mr Goyle nex time?"
Hermione: "alright..." *Sees Snape bullying Neville*
Parvati: "poor Neville, its not his fault"
Parvati: *sighs*
Hermione: "Well I'll help him out once that oversized bat leaves him alone..."
Parvati: "Hermione, you'll never guess wot Padma told me.."
Snape: *sits behind his desk, correcting some homework*
Hermione: *looks up* "What?"
Parvati: "She said that she heard Cho talkng about Harry. She couldnt hear very much though."
Hermione: "About Harry?" *looks confused*
Parvati: "Yes, i'm not sure wot she was saying though"
Hermione: "I know he has a thing for her...he says he doesn't but it's so obvious...but why would she be talking about him?"
Parvati: "Im honestly not sure."
Parvati: "maybe SHE has a thing for him?" *giggles*
Hermione: *smiles slightly* "But what about the whole...Cedric thing...?"
Parvati: "I dunno, i mean its been a while since...you know..."
Hermione: "Yeah..."
Parvati: *looks down at the potion, seems troubled*
Hermione: "I don't imagine that would make Ginny too happy...you know, Ron's sister?"
Snape: *tries to concentrate but it doesn't work. his mind keeps floating off to places it shouldn't be*
Parvati: "Yes, she'd be sad, and i personaly couldnt picture Harry and Cho.."
Hermione: "Oh I don't know...she's really nice, you know...and Ginny can have Harry when Cho graduates!" *laughs*
Parvati: *laughs a bit*
Hermione: **potion begins to boil up, so Hermione puts out the flame** "Ah, the potion is finished."
Parvati: "Finaly" *raises hand* "Professor snaaaaaaaaaape! we've done it!"
Snape: *his head snaps up* "Miss Patil, may I ask why you're shouting about something that SHOULD be a natural thing?"
Hermione: *laughs at Parvati's "trying to be annoying" voice*
Hermione: *stops laughing immediately*
Parvati: "because um I AM PROUD THAT I COMPLETED THE CLASS WORK!"
Parvati: *smiles annoyingly*
Hermione: *stifles a laugh at Snape's look*
Parvati: "hehe..."
Snape: *smirks* "I can imagine. It must be a whole new experience for you." Parvati: "rrrrrrrg....naah, Potions is the only subject i have trouble in somtimes, wonder why? hmm i'd best get back to my other work!"
Snape: "Oh, did I mention that 10 points will be taken from Gryffindor for your cheek?"
Parvati: "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"
Parvati: *sits down pouting*
Hermione: *laughs, then scowls as Snape takes points away*
Parvati: *doesnt speak*
Snape: *smirks, goes back to correcting homework*
Parvati: *reads a book*
Hermione: "Professor, can you just check to see if we've done it right so we can finish?"
Parvati: *cursing snape under her breath*
Snape: *looks up, warily. Smiles dangerously.* "But of course, Miss Granger." *walks to Hermione
Hermione: *looks wary* me and my mouth...
Snape: *seeing the potion, he tries to find mistakes. Suddenly he sees it's not the right color. Looking very cheerful, if you know Snape, he said "Miss Granger. I'm afraid this potion doesn't have the right color.
Hermione: *looks shocked* "What? But, but I'm SURE I've done everything right!"
Hermione: *Checks over list again*
Parvati: *sulks*
Parvati: "we put everything innnnnnnn"
Parvati: "how is it incorect?" *Looks at potion carefully*
Snape: "It should have a slight green shimmer. As you can see, it doesn't."
Hermione: "Well...if you look at it from a certain angle..."
Parvati: *mouth is wide open*
Snape: "But don't worry. As I know you're a faithful student, you can try again with Potter and Weasley tonight." he smirks
Parvati: "but its green..."
Hermione: "What?! Are you...you're punishing me!?"
Parvati: "with the shimmer! oh dear this is not fair!"
Parvati: *sulking*
Snape: *pretends to look shocked* "Punishing? You consider it a punishment to be able to improve your studies?"
Parvati: *rolls eyes*
Snape: "oh, and miss Patil. Would you like to try again as well?"
Hermione: *gets angry* "It's perfect! Everything is perfect. You're just being picky."
Parvati: "meh..."
Hermione: *bell rings*
Parvati: *gets up franticaly*
Snape: "20 more points will be taken from Gryffindor. I'll see you tonight at 8, miss Granger."
Parvati: *looks of disgust*
Hermione: *narrows eyes and turns red...grabs bag and leaves without another word*
Snape: "And don't forget your detention, miss Patil. I will be talking this through with Professor McGonagall later."
Parvati: *parvati and hermione walk out the door*
Hermione: "No slight green shimmer...I'll show HIM shimmer..."
Parvati: *laughs*
Parvati: "shimmer is evil."
Parvati: *serious face*
Hermione: "Well, I'm going to the Common Room before dinner to see if Harry and Ron are back, I'll see you later, though!"
Parvati: "Ok bye!"
Parvati: *leaves*
Hermione: "In our cozy little detentions. Ugh. Bye!

*Hears Harry and Ron laughing in the common room*

Now honestly, they're going to wake everyone up! If I'm grumpy during class tomorrow it's their fault.

*Tries to go to sleep, but can't help thinking...(don't you hate that?)*

Why do people keep calling me Ron's girlfriend? He doesn't even like me...I don't even like him!...he can't take things seriously...no, of course I don't like him...that's absurd. SO stupid...

*turns over again*

Ron leaned back in his bunk, staring at the ceiling, his hands behind his head. Hm.... 5 reasons.... shouldn't be too hard. He started his list.

1. She's a know-it-all.
2. She ruins their fun a lot by worrying.
3.... 3....

Ron was stuck already. He scrunched up his nose and thought hard. Any other reasons he could think of fell into those categories (being a Know-It-All or worrying too much). He thought one that should have been obvious. She's not pretty or anything... but then he stopped and re-thought that. Now that it came up... Hermione definitely wasn't unattractive... Ron's mind wandered back to last year at the Yule ball, when she wore that blue dress and did... whatever she did to her hair. Okay, so she was pretty, but Ron decided he'd never noticed it because he considered Hermione a friend and that was it. But he'd need to think up a few more reasons before morning or Harry'd be after him. Ron sighed, scratching his head again and rolled over, thinking, and eventually wearing his brain out to the point where he had to fall asleep.

Yay! Megz and I had a big long RPG. It's funny. I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it XD

Ron: *watches Hermione go up the stairs and sighs, scratching his head and looking back at Harry*
Harry: "well...?"
Ron: *raises an eyebrow uncertainly* "Well, what?"
Harry: *stares at ron* "Why do you always defend her?"
Harry: "You know you're just going to get yourself into trouble"
Ron: *stares back* "She's our friend, Harry. Besides, she'd do the same for us."
Harry: "Yeah, but you go overboard with her"
Ron: *cocks his head and looks down* "Well before recently she wouldn't ever defend herself. I'm not used to it. And any chance to rip Malfoy should be taken, right?"
Harry: *looks at Ron uncertainly* "I guess"
Ron: *sighs and looks up, smiling slightly* "I don't know, Harry,"
Harry: "What don't you know? And I agree with you now."
Ron: Ron looks around, then back up towards the girls staircase. "I don't know why I over react. But I always have. Maybe it's just me?"
Harry: "Maybe so? I mean.. I've always defended my parents.. haven't I?"
Ron: *nods and chuckles slightly* "Right. So I just get red in the face over little things. No big deal."
Harry: *looks at Ron* "Do you like Hermione?"
Ron: *blinks and stares at him* "Of course. Even if she's a Know-It-All, she's our friend."
Harry: "No.. you know what I mean"
Harry: "More than a friend.. you know? Never mind.. I feel weird talking about this. And you never bothered me about Cho"
Ron: *continues to stare, the thought of liking Hermione never actually occuring to him* "Me? Like Hermione like THAT??" *laughs uncomfortably, his ears bright red* "You've got to be kidding, Harry, she's our friend"
Harry: *bursts out in laughter*
Ron: *stares* "Harry! What's so funny?!" he demands
Harry: "She's my friend.. I don't know about you"
Ron: *blinks disbeleivingly* "Harry..." *rolls his eyes and huffs loudly* "You're off your rocker."
Harry: *chuckles*
Harry: "No I'm not.. you are!"
Ron: *can't help but grin slightly* "no, Mr. Potter, I really believe you're the one who's crazy."
Harry: "You're crazy.. for Hermione.. and I've only just noticed it"
Harry: *laughs some more*
Ron: *begins to laugh harder and shoves Harry* "Are not! You twit, you're just dull!"
Harry: *shoves Ron back* "You are.. you just don't notice it yet, I'm not dull! And be quiet or she'll hear you!"
Ron: *laughs but tries to cover it up* "You are too dull. You're just too dull to realize how dull you really are!" *turns and begins jogging toward the stairs*
Harry: "You're trying to hide it!" *follows after him*
Ron: *shakes his head* "Cheeky. Am not. I've got nothing to hide."
Harry: "You're not very good at acting!"
Ron: *rolls his eyes* "I wouldn't talk, Mister 'I-love-Cho-CHang-It's-So-Obvious-because-I-DROOL-Every-Time-I-See-Her' "
Harry: "Ron.. tell me the truth.. at least I don't deny it.. plus.. I really don't care whether you guys become an item.. as long as I'm not the extra one on the side"
Harry: "I already know.. I just need you to clarify it"
Ron: *shakes his head again as they reach the door to the dorm* "Listen, Harry, I think I'd know if I liked her like that, and you'd be the first to know. But I DON'T. So there."
Harry: "Well, that's nice to know. But you do"
Ron: *laughs and leans against the wall, not going into the dorm yet because they'd wake up the other boys* "Harry, Harry, Harry. You can go on thinking that, but it's not the truth."
Harry: "Fine. I'm going to bed. You contemplate whether you like her or not"
Harry: "In the morning.. you better have 5 good reasons that you don't like her. Five. Do you hear me?"
Ron: *rolls his eyes and opens the door for him* "Yeah, whatever, will be a piece of cake."
Harry: "Okay. Goodnight Ronald"
Harry: *walks throught the door*
Ron: *sighs and smirks* "G'night, Harry Potter." *walks over to his bunk and sits down, rubbing his face*

(((OOC: OK, the only other Ravenclaw doesn't have a SN, so this is my own RP with myself! We'll call my friend...Charlotte :) Bare with me, it's short.)))

*Is sitting in a chair in the Ravenclaw common room when her friend comes up to her*

Charlotte: Hey Cho! You look kinda down...what's up?
Cho: What? Oh, nothing...just thinking.
Charlotte: About...? Harry? *wink*
Cho: *looks up sharply* What makes you say THAT? (Charlotte gives her the 'it's obvious look'*
Charlotte: Well, he IS the only person you've been talking about...this whole week...
Cho: *sighs* Yeah...It's just so...weird.
Charlotte: I suppose...
Cho: *sighs again* Well, I'm off to bed...maybe I can get Padma to talk to her sister...she's friends with him, you know...
Charlotte: *laughs* Alright Cho, you do that.

*walks up to bed and falls into an uneasy sleep.*

"Oh, you didn't miss much. Some Malfoy trouble, that's about it..."

*Looks at clock*

"Wow, it's getting late, and we've got Charms first thing tomorrow...I'm off to bed, see you in the morning!"

*Walks up to dormitory, gets ready for bed, and lays down...smiling at the thought of how Ron took detention with Malfoy just to stick up for her...*

||OOC: Now Harry and Ron better have a NICE LONG conversation about how much Ron loves Hermione!!! ^_^ ||

(( yay! er..here's an rp between Remus, Severus, Ron, Hermione and Draco. It's reeaallly long XD ... its the rp about Ron and Dracos detention. So read on..
~Jeni))

Draco: Draco walked down the dimly lit corrdior, hands shoved in his robe pockets, taking his time. Still not believing he had actually gotten a detention, not wanting to think how mad his father would be. Grumbling to himself, he reached the potions classroom
Severus: Snape sat behind his desk, scowling and looking at the clock. One minute to go until detention for Weasley and Draco.
Ron: Ron scratched his head and yawned. Walking down the dungeon corridor thinking, he didn't even remember where he was going until his feet stopped in front of potions door. He sighed and grimaced inwardly then stepped inside.
Severus: When Snape saw Ron enter, he scowled "Weasley. Forgot to knock, now did you?"
Draco: scowling Draco stepped inside the room behind him
Ron: Ron wanted to snap back, but seeing as how he already had detention on the 1st day of term, he decided it wasn't worth the risk. "Sorry, Professor, i didn't know you were here"
Severus: Snape got up. "Good evening Draco. Weasley, considering this is my classroom that is a poor excuse."
Ron: Ron just nodded silently. "Sorry, sir. It won't happen again."
Severus: Scowling at the lack of response from Weasley, he said "You two will be cleaning out the closets in the storage room tonight. Without magic, of course."
Draco: biting back a sigh, he nodded. "yes sir"
Ron: Ron just nods without a word.
Severus: Snape walked towards the closets and pointed at them. "There they are. Must keep you busy for a while. I must warn you... If you break anything, you'll live to regret it."
Hermione: *Meanwhile, Hermione is finishing dinner alone in the Great Hall since Harry was gone at Quidditch practice*
Remus: *and Remus is sitting in his rooms, feeling extremely tired. Knowing he should go and get his potion from Snape.*
Ron: Ron steps forward and figures he might as well get to work. He can't believe muggles handle all this without magic.
Severus: Snape smiles an evil smile, leaves the boys to the work and goes back to sit behind his desk to correct homework.
Draco: Grumbling to himself, he walks to the storage room, Coughing as bits of dust fly up, he opens the door to the nearest closet.
Hermione: *Hermione finishes dinner and decides to walk around the halls, since all her schoolwork is finished for the night*
Draco: Sighing Draco rearranges the jars in alphabetical order, as that's all that was in this closet.
Ron: Ron started dusting the endless bottles of strange ingredients, glancing over at Draco and glaring every once in awhile. It was, after all, the Slytherin's fault he was in this mess. Insulting Hermione all the time...
Draco: still rearranging the bottles, Draco glared back at Ron, aggravated. "got a problem Weasel?"
Ron: "Just you, Ferret, just you..." Ron muddered quite audibly back and continued his work.
Severus: Snape suddenly thinks of the Wolfsbane potion Lupin would come to collect later. Good he'd made it this afternoon.
Draco: Draco just grinned maliciously at him, ignoring the comment and raising an eyebrow "good to know"
Ron: Ron rolls his eyes slightly.
Remus: Sighing, Remus left his room. Taking a short cut behind a tapestry of Rowena in the charms corridor, he arrived down in the dungeons. Hoping the potion was ready, but not looking forward to it's bitter taste. Knocking slightly on the door, waiting patiently
Severus: Snape's head shot up. "Problems, Weasley?"
Severus: Sighing, Snape got up and walked to the door.
Ron: Ron shook his head. "No, Professor." He quickly looked like he was intent on his work.
Draco: Draco laughed to himself, still rearranging bottles, he shook his head "Just can't stay out of trouble, can you?"
Hermione: *Hermione walks through the entrance hall and thinks of visiting Hagrid or going to see Harry practice..."I wonder when Ron's detention will be done..."*
Ron: "I wouldn't talk, Malfoy. At least I have you to blame for detention. You got *yourself* into this.," he snapped back, too quiet for Snape to hear.
Severus: Snape opens the door. When he sees Remus, he motions him to enter the room.
Draco: Draco shrugged "It's not my fault. I was talking to the mudblood, not you. Your the one who had to open your big mouth to try and defend your girlfriend.."
Remus: Stepping in, he glanes about the room, his sharpened sense hearing slight whispers and clanking of jars "who has detention?"
Severus: "Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley are cleaning out my closets." he said. "I have the Wolfsbane potion here, follow me."
Ron: Ron's face turned a darker shade of red almost instantly, partially because of fury, partially because of embarrassment.
Ron: "The only reason you bad mouth Hermione is because you know she's a much better wizard than you'll ever be!"
Draco: Draco smirked at Ron, watching him calmly "is that so?"
Remus: nodding Remus looked to the storage room again, then turned following Snape "thanks for making it"
Severus: Snape grunted. He grabbed a vial. "Please follow me to my chambers, I want to see how you react to the potion, as it has some different ingredients."
Ron: Ron narrowed his eyes. "Well, she does do better at all her classes than you, doesn't she?
Ron: What if your father found that out? That a muggle-born is a better wizard than you? Frightening thought, isn't it." he replied smugly.
Hermione: *Hermione walks to Hagrid's hut in the setting sun and sees him carrying crates to the back of his cabin, and she changes her mind...and walks back to the castle.*
Remus: raising an eyebrow he looks at snape carefully and follows Snape "oh? what are they supposed to do?"
Severus: Closing the door behind him, Snape hands the vial to Lupin. "They're supposed to strengthen the potion and make the transformation... smoother. And I added some ingredients to perhaps... enhance the taste somewhat."
Severus: He looked almost embarrassed at admitting this.
Draco: Draco tried not to shudder at that, remembering this summer, and silently agreeing with him "Not all classes, and not by much, and thats only because shes a bookworm.."
Ron: A satisfied smirk spread across Ron's lips. "The actual magic doesn't involve knowledge, Malfoy. That's skill."
Remus: Looking at the vial he nods, hoping it works. "and you told me before you couldn't add anything to it!" un- stoppering the vial he downs it in one gulp, Shaking his head a bit as it trails down his throat, although it does taste less bitter
Severus: "It's a recent development. Normally it would cancel out the other ingredients." That's what you get for doing something NICE, he thought scowling.
Draco: "at least someone in Gryffindor has some.." he looked pointedly at Ron. Standing up, he brushes the creases and dust off his robes leaving the closet.
Remus: "oh.." he trailed off, setting the vial on Snapes desk "well. thank you for making it.." he looked around Snapes office at the jars full of potions and creatures
Ron: Ron's smirk faded slightly, but inwardly he almost laughed. For some reason, knowing that he got Draco to admit that Hermione has skill made him want dance.
Severus: "Er. Yes. So. Did it work?" Snape felt suddenly uncomfortable.
Remus: He nodded, his eyes stopped wandering and looked at Snape "yes. and it tastes alot better too. "
Draco: walking into the main classroom, Draco looks around for Snape, not seeing him anywhere he called out "Professor?"
Severus: Snape looked to a point far away. "Good." hearing Draco call from the classroom, he said "Oh. Yes. Detention must be about finished now." he got up and went back to the classroom.
Remus: shaking his head, he followed snape out of the office and headed toward the door
Draco: watching professor Snape and Lupin leave the office, Draco raised an eyebrow curiously "professor, we've finished.."
Severus: Snape looked distracted. "Yes. Good. You may leave."
Ron: Ron stood and shook the dust out of his hair, then turned and walked back into the classroom, relieved to see Lupin. With Lupin around, Snape couldn't do anything too unfair.
Remus: Remus looked at Draco, then to Ron , grinning as he saw a bit of dirt on his nose "have a good detention?"
Hermione: *Hermione was walking through the halls, hardly realizing where her feet were taking her, when she realized she was about a corridor away from the dungeons.*
Ron: Ron smiled slightly and nodded, not willingly too say anything too rash, since Snape was still in the room.
Hermione: *thinks* "Maybe Ron's detention i
