Title: An Instance of Torture
Rating: K
Era: Post-DH, Canon-Compliant
Genre: Humor
Summary: Harry is having a bad day during History of Magic. Hermione, in her ever studious manner, wants him to focus. Who will win in this battle of wills?
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock…
His vision blurred and the noise faded away to a muted humming, gentle and soothing…
"HARRY!" an irate female voice hissed as persistent little fingers jabbed his side. "HARRY! HARRY, GET UP!"
The boy jumped slightly in his seat and turned to aim a soft glare at his best friend.
"All right! I'm up, are you happy now, woman?!"
The girl sat up straighter, demurely folding her hands into her lap as she shot back a calm "Yes, yes I am."
The redhead sitting on the girl's right sent his best friend on the girl's left a sympathetic grimace.
Forcing them to go back to Hogwarts was okay.
Making them attend class was tolerable.
But forcing them to attend history class.
And listen to a lecture about themselves?
This was unbearable and utterly unacceptable!
Harry raged. His fingers gripped the side of his table, and magic sparked from his fingertips.
Hermione reached over and jabbed her wand into his side. Hard.
"Stupefy," she intoned, quietly and quickly.
Harry's vision went black. The last thought floating through his head before the darkness overtook him was "Ha, I win, Hermione."
I hope y'all enjoyed this little snapshot from the trio's life, post-war.
