Day Five:

Hermione sighed in frustration. She gathered her books together and stormed out of the library. She just wanted a quiet place to study. Was that so so much to ask? But, no. She'd already been chased from her dormitory by noisy roommates, the Gryffindor common room, by Fred and George testing out their latest Weasley products on second years, and the library by a group of Ravenclaws that were debating the ramifications of using billyweed sting as opposed to billyweed sting slime in the Wiggenweld potion. She rounded a corner on the fourth floor and wound up in an abandoned corridor. She was about to turn and go back the way she came when she saw a flash of red from down the hall. She crept closer. 

There she found Ginny, snogging the daylights out of, what looked to be, a Slytherin boy, older than herself. Hermione cleared her throat loudly, with her eyebrow raised. Ginny tore herself away from the boy as if he'd burned her, but Hermione was pleased to note that the boy, who she could now see was none other than Blaise Zabini, stepped out and forward, placing himself between Ginny and whatever unperceived threat had come upon them.

"A Slytherin, huh, Ginny? Your brother will be furious, you know," Hermione called out, a grin stealing over her features. The blood drained from Ginny's face. "Hermy, you can't tell him! Promise me you won't tell him," Ginny begged, pushing Zabini out of the way, despite his protests. She rushed to Hermione, taking her hands, pleading with her eyes. "Blaise and I love each other. We're going to tell everyone once we've both graduated," she rushed, then turned her attention to Blaise, a demand in her voice, "Right, Blaise?" He started, nervously, at being brought into the conversation. "Of course, love. Whatever you want," was his reply. Hermione nodded to herself. She approved. 

"Alright Ginny, I won't say anything. But, you should know that Ron has been shacking up with Parkinson for three months now. He may be more open to the news than you think," she turned and walked off, leaving the two gaping after her.
