Just hanging (open)

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione walked into the Great Hall. She was wearing red hip huggers with a yellow top. She had no homework but did have a book in hand. She sat down at the Gryffindor table. She put it against a milk jug and filled her plate with patotoes and meat. She read and at for awhile. She liked reading that was for sure.

[Harry Potter]

"Hey Hermione!" Harry said, sitting down across thetable from her. "What are you reading?" he asked noting the book in her hand. He helped himself to some potatoes, meat and steamed vegitables, and filled his glass with water. He wore Jeans and a grey t-shirt with a black Dragon on the front.

[Hermione Granger]

"Hey Harry how are you this morning? I'm reading a book called 'Hogwarts, A history' again." she said with a smile but shut the book. Harry was more interesting. She placed the book in her bag. "And how was your summer?" she asked with a smile on her face.

[Harry Potter]

"I thought you memorized it" he said Jokingly. "Oh my summer couldnt have been worse I suppose. Notheing terribly interesting happened, but with the Dursleys, its hard to relax." He sighed and stardted to play with his potatoes, sculpting them artfully into a tower. "How'd your summer go? Did you read any new books?" he asked politley, but he already knew the answer.

[Hermione Granger]

"I read maybe our new books over the summer. And I have memorized it I just wanted to make sure I knew it that's all. There was nothing else to read at all.!" Hermione said with a smile. "And why are you playing with your food?" she asked him with a smile.

[Harry Potter]

"Why not?" he wasnt very hungry tonight and there was not much else to do.
"I just skimmed our new books. Defense looks good this year, ie already learned some new stuff." he laughed
"I wonder who the teacher will be this year..." He trailed off. His favorite teacher had been Lupin, Though moody had been most interesting.
"I hope its not another phsycopath."

[Hermione Granger]

"Same here Harry. Lupin was a very good teacher Moody well he was a bit of a prat if you asked me!" Hermione said with a smile. "Turns out it was Barty Crouch. I think he was really warning you what you were up against that year Harry. I really do!" she said with a smile.

[Harry Potter]

"I like the real moody well enough though, even if he is a bit paranoid." he poired gravy over his potatoes, and watched in a bemused manner as the tower met its downfall. He took a sip of water.
"Hows crookshanks doing?" he asked, striving for conversation. He was tired after waking up early that morning. " I got a dog over the summer, the dursleys hate it"

[Hermione Granger]

"Well he is doing okay. Right now he is probably trying to find a place to sleep." Hermione said with a smile on her face. "What is the dogs name and will he chase Crookshanks?" she asked. "Oh I got a horse and her name is Princess." she said with a smile on her face. She just adored horses. "I'm planning on riding her tonight.

[Harry Potter]

"His names shadow, a doberman. I s'pose he might chase crookshanks, but ill tell him not too..." Harry said teasing Hermione.
"A horse? thats cool. i thought you hated horses..." he shrugged and went back to destroying his meal, now, mashing the potatoes further with his fork"
"I wonder where Rons at"...

[Hermione Granger]

"I don't know. Anyways Shadow is a dog and I can't stop him chasing Crookshanks and I promise I won't get mad. It is a dog thing to chase cats. And I don't like flying on Hippogriffs Harry!" Hermione said with correction tone.

[Harry Potter]

"oh i though you hated flying on brooms" he paused, thoroughly confused.
"Well ill apologize in advance for any fear Shadow might install into your cat." he smiled to let her know he was joking.

[Hermione Granger]

"Well he accepts your apology. I know Ron was mad at me in our third year. But he got to realize that my cat was acting like a cat. Sure it seems like he was after okay was after Scabbers but how is that my fault?" Hermione asked. She remembered the time Ron and her weren't speaking at all.

[Harry Potter]

"Yeah, You guys fought an awful lot in our third year" he smiled remembering the various times he had been appointed 'Messenger' by them. He was okay with it though. 'Im sure Shadow wont touch crookshanks, he seems to like cats acctually, and even if he did hurt him crookshanks is fully capeable of standing up for himself" he could remember all to well the various scratches he had recieved from her cat, when he was upset.

[Hermione Granger]

"True sorry about that Harry. But your owl poked me and Ron until hands were red in our fifth year!" Hermione remembered it plainly. She had wished she sent her back with all the answers to his questions but she couldn't then.
