I found her making charmed birds. Sitting next to her she glanced at me., then back to her birds.
"Charm spell. I'm just practicing." I wrap my arms around her in comfort.
"There really good." I mumble
"How does it feel when you see Ginny look at Harry like that?" she asks me and then pulls away as I scowl in confusion. "I'm your best friend. I can tell you've noticed."
"I've noticed but Harry hasn't, that's the difference. Besides she gazes at him, as far as I know it's nothing else." there was laughing and giggling as Lavender and Ron stumbled into our path.
"Oops, I think this rooms taken." she tried to pull him away but He stayed.
"What's with the birds?" he wondered. Hermione stood mad and upset.
"Oppugns." she made her charmed birds aim for him and he took off. I stood bringing her into my arms once more comforting my best friend.

Harry and I were the go betweens for our best friends. Harry had told me that he'd been talking with Ron who didn't seem to care that Hermione was upset. Hermione was currently trying to hide how much she was as we talked in the library
"He's at perfect liberty to kiss whoever he likes. I really couldn't care less. Was I under the impression he and I would be attending Slughorns Christmas Party together? Yes. Now given the circumstances I've been forced to make other arrangements." she sent books back to their correct shelf as I followed on.
"With who?" I ask.
"It's a surprise. Besides you have bigger problems, you see Romilda Vane behind me?" I glance past her looking at our fellow sixth year studying
"Yeah."
"Apparently, she's trying to smuggle a love potion to your boyfriend." she informed me. I folded my arms and tilted my head
"Is she now?"
"She's only interested him because she thinks he's the chosen one."
"He his the chosen one." she hit my arm "What he is. But there's a difference, I'm not with him because of that, her reasons are much different."
---------------------
Harry and walked through the halls arm in arm to Slughorns Christmas party. I was telling him about Romelda Vane.
"She can't seriously think that's a good idea? I have you and I would never." he scoffed
"I know that but clearly she doesn't. Worry not I have a plan." I smirked and he stopped us
"What are you going to do?"
"Hey you get to have your mischievous moments, don't ruin the fun. Come on." we entered the party and greeted Slughorn who insisted he have a picture with the both of us. Once he did he went and socialised.
"Drink." we turned to Neville
"Neville." we greeted as he was in a waiters uniform serving drinks.
"I didn't get into the Slug Club. It's okay though. He's got Belby handing out towels in the loo." I took a drink from the tray.
"Thank you." I smiled
"No, thank you." Harry denied and Neville happily continued waiting the party. "V. Look, is that Hermione?" he asked pointing to a figure ducking behind a curtain. I briefly caught a glimpse of mousy brown hair.
"I believe it is." We ducked behind the curtain as well
"Mione. What are you doing? And what happened to you?" I questioned
"I've just escaped. I mean, I left Cormac under the mistletoe." She admitted and I covered my mouth in amusement
"You invited dull for brains, Hermione Granger." I gasp
"I thought it would annoy, Ron the most. He's got more tentacles than a snarfalump plant." I snorted in amusement as one of the servers peeked behind offering us dragon tartare.
"No thank you." we replied
"Just as well. They give one horribly bad breath." That changed Hermiones mind who took the plate
"Oh god here he comes." I took her arm
"Come on." I took her away ducking out as he came behind the curtain. we made our way over to the other side of the room.
"I'm surprised you dared to go there, you never stop about how much he makes your skin crawl. Is getting under Rons skin worth it?" I ask her
"At this moment in time. No." there was a commotion as Filtch dragged in my protesting brother.
"Professor Slughorn, sir. I just discovered this boy lurking in a upstairs corridor. He claims to have been invited to your party." Fitch declared
"Okay, okay. I was gatecrashing. I needed to see my sister. Happy?" he glanced over at me fear evident in his eyes. Snape glided over to stand in front of them.
"I'll escort him out." Filtch let Draco go.
"Certainly professor." Draco and Snape left the part and I found Harry who was staring at me for a moment.
