For a time after that Ron and Harry Would ignore Hermione and (Y/n), not that it bothered them much.

The two of them had been spending a lot of time in library lately, and had made a few guesses about Lupin. Hermione thought that he might be a werewolf, and (Y/n) believed he was secretly living a second life.

Harry had also been having private lessons with Lupin, and recently gotten his firebolt back, so he and Ron had started talking to them again.

The peace between them did not last long as a few weeks later Ron lost Scabbers and had convinced himself that Crookshanks had killed him.

"That thing killed Scabbers!" Ron shouted at Hermione.

"What happened?" Harry as (Y/n) as he had just returned from quidditch practice.

"Ron lost his rat-" (Y/n) started

"I didn't lose him, her cat killed him!" Ron said turning on (Y/n).

This kept on for a few more days, with Ron not talking to Hermione, except to accuse Crookshanks of killing Scabbers.

The only time they were all together again was Harry's next quidditch match. His first match with the firebolt.

The match only lasted a few minutes, as Harry quickly out flew the Ravenclaw seeker. This victory had sent Gryffindor into the finals.

That night there was a celebration in the common room.

"Come on 'Mione! This is a party!" (Y/n) said to Hermione who was sitting by herself reading a book.

"I've got work to do (N/n), besides he doesn't want me here" she said pointing to Ron.

"Oh ignore that git, come on!" (Y/n) said again grabbing Hermione by the arm and pulling her over to dance.

She let out a sigh, realizing that she wouldn't be getting any work done that night, and joined the festivities.

The party kept going last into the night, and only stopped when McGonagall came and told them to stop.

Everyone made their way begrudgingly to their respective dorms.

It was early in the morning when a high pitched scream woke him up. He quickly snatch up his wand, pointed it towards the sound and shouted "Petrificus totalus!"

He saw the outline of a tall man running out of the dorm, with what looked like a long knife.

"Ron what happened?" Harry asked.

(Y/n) grabbed his glasses and ran over to Ron. He saw that he was laying still on his bed with his arms and legs snapped to his side.

"Oops sorry mate" (Y/n) said muttering the counter curse. "I swear I wasn't aiming at you mate"

"It was Sirius Black! With a knife! He had a knife!" Ron was shouting

"You sure you weren't dreaming mate?" Dean asked him.

"No I saw him too Don, he had a great big knife" (Y/n) told him.

"What all this then?" Percy said with his prefect badge pinned to his pajamas.

"Sirius Black was here! With a knife!" Ron told him.

Percy stared at him for a second. "Nonsense you had a nightmare Ron that's all"

"No I saw him too Percy" (Y/n) said. A thought suddenly popped into his head. He ran over to his trunk and searched through it, until he found what he was looking for and slipped it into his robes.

After a while McGonagall came back to see what was going on, but at this point (Y/n) had slipped out of the dorm and into the common room.

"What were you looking for?" A voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw Hermione was there.

"I saw you searching through your trunk" she explained.

He motioned for her to sit next to him. He reached into his robes and pulled out the socks that he had taken from his trunk.

Hermione looked at him confused. (Y/n) gave her a look that said "Just Wait" He unrolled the sock and reached into one of them.

He pulled out an ornate necklace. There was an elegant blue raven pendent on a chain of gold.

"It's beautiful (Y/n)"

"It was my mum's, she would also wear it. I never saw her without it. My dad got it for her when they were dating, her patronus was raven. Ever since she died I've kept it with me, it's like carrying a little piece of her with me all the time"

A few tears welled up in (Y/n)'s eyes. He put his head onto Hermione's shoulder and looked at her face.

It was strange. He had seen her plenty of times before, but this time seemed different, there was something about her that was different. "Had she always been this pretty?" (Y/n) thought to himself.

Just then a crowd of people came down from the boys dormitory. (Y/n) jumped up and took his head off of Hermione's shoulder, going slightly red.

"Sir Cadogan, did you let a man enter the Gryffindor common room?" McGonagall asked the portrait.

"Certainly, ma'am"

"But what about the password?"

"He had them, read the whole weeks off of a little piece of paper"

(Y/n)'s heart sank, he had suggested that Neville write down the passwords.

"Who" (Y/n) could hear the anger in McGonagall's voice. "Was foolish enough to write down the passwords, and leave them lying around?"

There was complete silence as everyone looked around. The crowd then focused onto Neville, and he started to raise his hand.

"It was me Professor" (Y/n) blurted out, not thinking it through.

Everyone turned to look at him. McGonagall looked at him stunned. "You Mr. (L/n)?" She asked not convinced.

"Yeah I wrote them down so I wouldn't forget them, I must've dropped them." (Y/n) said trying to take focus off of Neville.

"Well then Mr. (L/n), another month of detention, and no more Hogsmead visits." McGonagall scolded him.

They didn't sleep at all the rest of the night, they kept themselves awake but playing games and talking.

"Why'd you do that (Y/n)?" Neville asked him in the corner of the common room. "You got in all that trouble for me"

"Don't worry about it Nev it was my idea to write them down. Plus I've already detention, what's another month" he told Neville brushing it off.

"But what about Hogsmead?" Neville asked him.

"I've already gotten in a ton of trouble with Mr. Flume. This way I won't accidentally set the store on fire. Again"
