"You must've done something to her!"

"I did not, Weasley! I thought you three trust me!"

"Three? It's four."

"It's three, Weasley. Granger trusts me."

"Oh, she trusts you now huh?"

"And so do I, Ronald."

"Even me."

"But he must've done something-"

"Ronald please stop it!"

Hermione stirred and the four of them stopped talking.

"Hermione, are you awake?" Asked a girl's voice. Ginny, Hermione thought.

Hermione groaned in response.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Asked Harry.

"Harry, give her a break." Scolded Ginny.

Hermione slowly opened her eyes.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Asked Ginny and Harry's eyebrows raised.

Hermione smiled at her. "I'm fine Ginny. I-" then she panicked, "Did they capture the snake?"

Harry and Ginny exchanged looks. "What snake?" Asked Harry cautiously.

"It was big- really big. And green. Draco, did you see it?"

The four of them stared at her in surprise.

"Did you just call him 'Draco'?" Asked Ron in disbelief.

"There was no snake in class, Hermione." Said Draco at the same time, hiding his shock.

The two of them looked at each other, Ron's eyes narrowed.

"Did you just call her 'Hermione' ?" Ron asked again.

"I did. So?"

Ron was about to retort when Ginny cut him off.

"Oh please, Ron. I think we're past calling him 'Malfoy' now." Then she turned to Draco and said "Call me Ginny now."

Draco smiled at her.

"It's Harry now, Draco. We're friends." Harry said, nodding.

Draco smiled gratefully at him.

"It's still Weasley for me, Malfoy. Harry, how can you-" Said Ron sourly.

"That's enough Ron." Said Ginny coolly. "Hermione is the present problem."

"Hermione, you said you saw a snake? But there wasn't one." Said Draco, ignoring Ron's glares.

Hermione shook her head furiously. "There was a snake! I saw it, I even heard it!"

Just then professor McGonagall burst into the room.

"Hermione, are you alright?" she asked, concerned.

Hermione smiled at the Professor.

"I am, professor. The snake did not bite me."
