Toujours [HarryPotterFanFiction] **COMPLETED**

Hagrids back...

Harry and I hadn't talked about what happened at the ball, and for that I was thankful. But now we all sit around the Common Room fire, studying for Umbridge's final that was coming up tomorrow. The only sound that can be heard is the crackling of the fire, and Ron eating with his mouth open. I'm sitting on the floor, Hermione's across from me. Harry and Ron both are perched up on the couch, with a cushion in between the two of them. I flip the page of my book, and began to scribble more notes down, as Ron lets out a huge sigh.

We all turn and look to him, as he places his head on the back of the couch. "What?" Hermione asks, as Harry pushes his glasses up his nose. "I'm bored.. And all of this studying is making my brain hurt" He says, looking around to all of us. I roll my eyes, letting out a small laugh (with the others), before looking back down to my book. "How much of your essay do you have written?" Hermione asks, and Ron rolls his eyes.

"Nada" He says, closing his book that currently sat on top of his lap. "Geez, Ron" Harry says, chuckling when Ron punches his shoulder. "How much do you have written then?" Ron asks, glancing over Harry's shoulder at the book he's holding. Harry's quick to close his book, as his cheeks heat. "That's irrelevant" He says, as we all laugh again.

"You would think with all the homework that we are doing, that the end of the year O.W.L's are coming up" Ron says, rolling his eyes. This time, I'm the one to speak up. "Well, technically they are coming up" I say, smirking to Ron when he looks at me. "Yeah, but not for a couple more months. This is absurd. We shouldn't have to do so much" Ron says, before a first year comes in, turning on the radio that sat near us.

He stops, and looks to us, as we all look to him. "Do you mind?" Ron says, rolling his eyes at the poor kid. The kid is quick to run from the room, as Hermione pokes Ron hard in the side. "Ronald!" She says, watching as Ron looks to her, pain taking over his features. "What the bloody hell was that for?" Ron asks, holding his side.

"Just because your a bloody Prefect doesn't mean you can go around, being a complete arse to the students" Hermione says, taking Harry and I in complete shock. Ron a Prefect, no way.

"Thanks for the update on your Prefect status, Hermione" I say, nudging her foot with mine, as we both giggle. "Yeah, I didn't know you were a Prefect, mate" Harry says, smacking Ron's leg. "Dumbledore made us swear not to tell anyone" Hermione says, glancing from Ron, who's nodding, to us. I look to Harry, as he looks to me, both of us completely bewildered. Dumbledore's hiding things from us again, what the hell?

"I wonder what's got his wand in a knot" Harry says, mainly to me. I shrug my shoulders, and let out a sigh, before looking back to my book. I really don't know, but I'm going to find out.

********

We all sat in rows, as we finish up our finals. I just finished mine when Hermione came back to her seat. She turns around to face me, giving me a huge grin, that I give back to her. I quickly stand up, and walk up to Umbridge's desk, handing her my test.

"Finished already?" She asks, eyeing me skeptically. "Yes, mam" I say, nodding my head, and turn on my heel. "Not so quick" She says, causing me to come to a halt. I turn to her, crossing my arms over my chest. I watch as she looks through my exam, before taking Hermione's back out, and looking over her work. She better not even...

"This is the best you've ever done on a quiz before" Umbridge says, as Dean comes up, handing his test in. Dean gives me a sideways look, before quickly going back to his desk, and I look back to Umbridge. "Okay, your point?" I ask, slightly annoyed. "Just saying, its rather odd that you've finished right as soon as Ms. Granger did. Sounds to me like you've cheated off her paper" She says, staring at me.
