The Benefits of Growing Up

As I was sitting in the Great Hall with Harry and Ron, I couldn't help but notice how annoying they had become… Or maybe it is just me being lass tolerant? I mean they haven't really changed that much since the war, right? Harry is more carefree than he has been in years, but other than that nothing has really changed. Maybe that was the point I was trying to make to myself? I had in fact grown up, and that lot stayed the same. Ron I know still indulged in childish behavior hexing Slytherins and the like. Maybe even gained a bit of an ego about being a war hero, and a member of the "golden trio." Even Harry and Ginny were still in the puppy love stage with Gin still lapping up the attention of being the girlfriend of "the boy who lived." It felt a bit sickening to me, in all honesty. Enjoying attention attained from the darkest point of everyone's life thus far, attention gained from the numerous deaths that all of us witnessed. Also, the common knowledge that Ron was happy to sleep with every whore who wanted her 15 minutes of fame from her friends for bedding the war hero Ron Weasley. I for one knew that was nothing to be proud of, that fact was one of the many reasons that I broke it off in July. My train of thought was broken when Ron said something to me…

"What was that, Ron?" I asked, breaking out of my musings.

"I said to pass the salt, Mione, seriously where is your head at these days?" Ron replied.

"Just thinking, Ronald, maybe you should try it sometime. Here is your salt, and next time try swallowing before you start chattering." I didn't even bother to care about Harry and Ginny's shocked looks as I said this. And as I slammed the shaker down in front of him, I gathered my things and strode out of the hall seeking intellectually stimulating company. Off to my dorm then, maybe Draco will even be there to talk…

AN: I know that it is short, but there is much much more to come. Remember that reviews will speed this process along… ;) But until then, you can read and review the one shot on my profile. I promise chapters to come will be longer, but I wanted to get a taste of whether anyone likes my writing? Btw its mostly DH compatible, but Draco is good soooooo there you go Dramione fans. Enjoy!
