A Bet
Hermione Granger at this moment would say for the first time in her life she felt the normal one out of her two best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
Ron Weasley was currently prancing around with that...slut Lavender Brown at the moment, which angered me (Hermione) to a boiling point. Reminding myself I counted to ten once again to calm myself down and thought of the positive things
My other best friend, Harry Potter. Was currently crushing on his best friends sister, Ginny Weasley. I smirked, as now as to speak, he was currently doing one of his faviourite activities- that he denies- Ginny Watching
I suppressed a snigger with difficulty, as Harry was burning a hole through Dean's head as Ginny and Dean were currently talking. If looks could kill...
Currently now, Harry was cutting his food with his knife a little too hard as a second later, there was a *crack*. Harry and I both blinked and looked at Harry's plate. Somehow Harry had cut the plate in half, which I could see when Harry held it up with a dumbstruck expression on face which I had to strain not snort at that. My best friend really is an idiot sometimes...
With a muttered "oops" Harry moved it away from him and propped his elbow on the desk, his face on his hand. Ginny Watching again. As Dean left the table now, Harry had a lovestruck expression on his face watching
I rolled her eyes, how Ginny hasn't realised yet of Harry's crush on her yet, was really a wonder
"Won-Won, why don't we sit by your friends" I heard that high-pitched from the distance which made me want to bang my head on the table a mutiple of times
Lavender Brown and Ron Weasley were prancing around the great hall, their hands entwined, my jealousy boiled and tried to force myself to look away but found that I couldn't. They sat down besides us- me and Harry
"Hey" Ron says
"Hiya" Lavender's high-pitched voice cuts through me like a knife
But forcing myself to smile, I muttered a quick 'hello'
Harry had obviously didn't even realise Ron and Lavender sat down as he was still Ginny Watching. I bit back a smile, but being the good friend I am- as Ron is here- I whacked him with one of my books snapping him out of his daydream, and glared at me, before realising Ron was here, muttering a quick 'hello' himself, started grabbing a lot of food and another plate as he broke the previous one.
Especially treacle tart. I mused. I swear that guy is obsessed with treacle tart, I always see him eat it. You don't even have to pay attention to know Harry is obsessed with it, pretty much everyone knows!
Ron obviously didn't realise anything as he was too busy admiring his precious Lav-Lav. I resisted the urge to vomit... and to hex her, maybe I should get Ginny to hex her, her bat-bogeys is pretty much known to everyone... no I musn't get Ginny in trouble for my own selfish desires. And most of important, we must not risk getting in any more trouble
Oh God I thought. Now that Dean is gone, and Harry is avoiding looking at Ginny. Ginny is now doing her favourite activity. Harry watching. I snickered. Kind of amusing really. Harry spends most of his time watching Ginny and Ginny spends most of her time watching Harry. It is also a wondar how Harry hasn't figured it out as well, but then again Ginny doesn't make it as obvious as Harry does
Ginny, the same as Harry had done earlier propped her elbow on the desk, her face on her hand- Harry Watching. I mean they both do it so often I have even come with a name for it, Harry Watching and Ginny Watching... not very imaginative but still...
I attempted to keep my face natural and uncaring as Ron bid Lavender farewell... hopefully forever but I know it's beacuse Lavender has Divination now, and neither Harry, Ron or herself take that lesson so we have a free period now.
"So you two looking forward to the Quidditch match then" Ron asked, striking up conversation
I, myself never really caring for Quidditch, only watch and cheer for it as Harry and Ron play on the team. Harry since first year and Ron... a couple of months
"Yeah, can't wait" Harry grinned
"Me too" Ron says
"What about you, Hermione" Ron asked
I blinked, before realising he was talking to me
"Are you excited for the Quidditch match, I really hope Gryfindor will win!" Ron says exitedly
I rolled my eyes and smiled
"Of course Gryfindor is going to win with you two on the team" I say, trying to be encouraging them
"And Ginny" Harry said a bit too quickly
Ron and I looked at him with a weird expression on our faces
Harry blushed and turned away muttering "She's one of the best Quidditch players on the team"
Ron blinked, looking at Harry suspiciously "Yeah" Ron agreed
I smirked at Harry. He looked at me before muttering at me "Shut up" before turning away
I rolled my eyes once again. What was I thinking in first year to be friends with two boys as best friends. Well it wasn't really their fault as in first year, Harry and Ron used to think I was just an annoying bookworm who wouldn't leave them alone as I kept talking to them as I wanted to be their friend. Even though at the time they used to annoy me as they kept breaking the rules which I would tell them every time even though they used to groan and roll their eyes and pretend they were listening, nodding their heads and muttering 'yeahs' every now and then
Well they still do that now.I mused. Ever since they saved me from the troll on halloween we've been the best of friends, or known as the 'Golden Trio'.
Ron tried to strike up conversation again when the silence fell as I was too busy in day-dream world thinking back to first year and Harry was too busy cursing himself over his little slip-up- well it really wasn't a slip-up but Harry was always the type to over-think things- and from the suspicious look Ron gave him
"Did you know that Dean and Seamus are betting against each other depending on who wins the match, if Ravenclaw wins then-" Ron says
I didn't hear anymore as just like thunder struck upon me or a ice-cream truck fell upon me- wizards and witches have wierd expressions and I picked up on it after 6 years- an idea came to me.
A bet. Of Course. I smirked. Glancing at Ginny who was still Harry Watching and Harry who was listening to Ron but glancing for a second a couple a times at Ginny's direction- who still didn't realise Ginny was watching him.
This just might work. And Harry and Ginny will agree to the bet, I'll make sure to that. They're competive in some sitauation mainly winning battle, arguements and most of all bets! This might be eaier then she thought.
That was the last thing she thought of it today before listening to Ron again...she might of had an epiphiny but she still has time to admire and listen to Ron. And unlike Harry and Ginny she doesn't make it obvious. I sighed listening to his dreamy voice, cursing Lavender to oblivian
What do you think? Please Review :)
