Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

"Did you really Apparate here?" Ron asked her as he came down and dismounted as well.

"Technically, yes," she answered, drawing herself up defensively in a way that all but shouted at Harry that he was right about his suspicions.

"Technically?" he asked with a curious look.

Hermione looked at him with her patented 'you two just broke the rules' look only for it to falter as she met his eye. Before he could even think about the change it faded away entirely and her eyes flickered towards Ron. Harry was left somewhat stunned; if he'd known that it would have calmed her down this much he would've asked her out a long time ago.

"I say technically because it was through Apparition," she explained. "It'd be closer to say 'I was Apparated' rather than 'I Apparated' though but I don't know if there's a word for that."

"That's side-along Apparition," Ron said looking at her curiously. "It's where a witch or wizard Apparates and takes you along for the ride. But who brought you here?"

"A new friend of mine," she said with a meaningful look at Harry, making him pretty sure that friend was around two feet tall and had a habit of calling her 'Miss Knee.'

"And you didn't tell Fred and George because you didn't know the right word?" Harry asked.

Suddenly a smile spread across her face that did some very pleasant things to his midsection.

"They just said that they were going off to study," Hermione reminded them. "You didn't think I was going to do anything to stop them, did you? I hardly saw them crack a book last year."

"You pranked them," Ron chuckled. "You! Who are you and where's Hermione?"

"I merely let them think what they were already thinking," she said as if pranking was some kind of offense. "Not correcting them isn't what I'd call a prank, and in this case it might actually help them."

"Yes, I'm sure if they study they could be louder than ever," Harry said with a grin.
