Pairing: Hermione/Ginny/Luna
Prompt: Itchy nose
Quote: Just do it already
Hermione had only been up for 2 hours and she was already run ragged, it was Harry's birthday and Mrs. Weasley was going crazy with setting up the surprise party she was organising for him. Hermione looked around to see if anyone was in sight and, when she was happy that nobody could see her, she sprinted over to a tree near the pond that had great shelter. She was surprised as to who else she found behind the tree,
"Ginny? Luna? What are you guys doing here?" Luna sat up and smiled cheekily,
"I could ask the same about you." Hermione shrugged,
"I'm tired." Ginny laughed,
"More like tired of my mother. I don't know why she is doing all this, after Harry specifically said that she was to go to no trouble." A sudden realisation hit Hermione, Mrs. Weasley wasn't actually going to any trouble, everyone else was doing all the work.
"Ginny…." She was cut off by a loud sneeze,
"Achoo – sorry my nose is just so - achoo – itchy."
"Ah Ginny, the nargles must have flown up your nose." Hermione and Ginny both looked at Luna in disbelief, that girl could be completely nuts sometimes. Hermione turned back to Ginny,
"Ginny how long has your nose been this itchy?" Ginny thought for moment,
"Um, probably every summer since I was about 6."
"Oh Ginny, you must have hay fever." Hermione smiled, while Ginny and Luna just looked completely confused,
"Hermione, what is hay fever?" Hermione laughed at how confused the two witches looked.
"Oh you two, hay fever is a muggle illness. It's where the pollen from flowers goes up your nose, and causes you to sneeze, your eyes to water, and your throat to itch." Hermione giggled at the continued looks of confusion on Ginny and Luna's faces.
"I like my theory better, it's easier to understand." Ginny nodded slightly,
"Hermione, do you happen to know any way to get rid of hay fever?" she asked looking hopeful, Hermione stopped and thought about the question for a second before replying,
"Well I know one way, but it's supposed to be quite uncomfortable for a few minutes, and I think there are some side effects, but I'm not completely sure. Maybe I should just run inside and grab my book…" She was interrupted when Ginny all but yelled,
"Hermione, just do it already!" Hermione sighed,
"Okay, okay no need to yell at me." She mumbled. Ginny glared at her, and Luna giggled,
"I have just now realised why I'm friends with you, you two are so funny, but judging by Ginny's glare I recommend that you do the spell and quickly. Nobody wants to be on the wrong end of the Weasley temper." Hermione smiled,
"That's very true Luna, now sit still Ginny." Hermione pulled out her wand and pointed it at Ginny's nose,
"Now Ginny, this may feel a bit uncomfortable for a bit. Haud magis faenum fenum fever" She cried, and watched as Ginny's face screwed up as if she was in pain.
"OW!" She yelled as loudly as she possibly could. Hermione gulped, she knew what was going to happen next, and sure enough she could hear the grass rustling as someone; probably Mrs Weasley, came running over to where the 3 girls were currently seated.
"Hermione, Ginny, Luna? What are you three doing over here? You should be helping the others set up for the party. Ginny dear, I heard you yell. What happened?" Mrs Weasley questioned the group.
"Well, mum. Hermione was helping me get rid of my hay fever." Ginny replied truthfully. Mrs Weasley looked about as confused as Luna and Ginny had,
"Hay fever, I've never heard of it. Is it contagious?" Hermione sighed; today was going to be a long day.
