Author's Note: Revamped chapter! Basically all I did was go through the chapters, edit them, and re-upload them for your reading pleasure. I'll also be finishing this story in the next chapter. I'm trying to finish all my stories within the next month; with the exception of the three or four main ones I enjoy writing for now. There's nothing new in this chapter, it's just editing.


Meeting Your Inner Soul

"Use the voice in your head, Mr. Malfoy. IN YOUR HEAD!" Professor Trelawney snapped at Draco Malfoy.

Malfoy snorted. "Yeah, okay. Crazy bat."

"Mr. Malfoy, if you are going to be interrupting my classes, I will have to ask you to leave. 5 more points will be taken from Slytherin," Trelawney said.

I couldn't help but laugh. This was the third consecutive time this lesson that Slytherin had had their points taken off.

"What are you laughing at, Potter?" Malfoy snarled. Hermione, who was sitting to my right in the aisle, snapped her head around and sent him the nastiest glare. To my surprise, Malfoy gulped and paid more attention to the class.

Hermione turned back, her straight brown hair circling her head.

"Miss Granger, would you care to tell us what you see in Mr. Potter's cup?" Trelawney said. Angrily, Hermione snatched the cup and looked in it. She had always hated Divination, and was only forced to take it because Ron and I had begged her.

"It's not the Grim," she said. I widened my eyes. Trelawney seemed surprised. She snatched the cup from her hands.

"It's a..." Hermione started.

"Daisy-sprouting heart," Trelawney finished. She looked in it again. "Happiness and passionate romance."

"Oooooh, Potter's getting some action tonight? Finally, it took you how many years Scarface?" Malfoy cackled.

"Mr. Malfoy, do us all a favor and shut up," Trelawney snapped as she set Harry's cup down. Everyone in Gryffindor, including Hermione, Ron and I, turned around and said in unison, "Oooooh"

"Burn for you, Malfoy," Ron said. Everyone, including some Slytherins, laughed.

"I don't even know why I decided to take this class again," Hermione said hotly under her breath. I looked at her with big puppy dog eyes. "Never mind, I remember," she said coolly.

When the class was excused, Malfoy and his goons rushed past us, knocking Hermione down the stairs, where she landed on the next floor.

"Hey, Malfoy!" I shouted, rushing down to help Hermione up and glaring at Malfoy. When she was on Ron's shoulder for assistance, I ran forwards and blocked Malfoy's way.

"Expelliarmus!" I shouted as I saw Malfoy take out his wand. It flew to the wall and landed by Ron, who picked it up.

"Apologize," I spat. Malfoy laughed and turned to his goons to see if I was for real. Goyle chortled stupidly.

"Oh, shut up, meat brain," Ron said. Goyle growled and Crabbe cast Ron a dirty look. Getting irritated, I grabbed Malfoy's shirt collar and lifted him as high as I could. I was glad I had been able to use the treadmill Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia had purchased for Dudley, for no real reason, mind you.

"Apologize," I snarled, throwing him to the floor. Looking hurt in the rear, Malfoy stood up, rubbing it as he glared at Hermione.

"Sorry," he muttered, running away with Crabbe and Goyle. Hermione ran down towards me, limping slightly.

"Oh, Harry… that was amazing!" she squealed. Ron smirked.

"Yeah, sweet job, mate," he said. I smiled. Hermione flung her arms around me and hugged me.

"Off to the hospital wing with you," I said and picked her up like a baby. Giggling, Ron followed us and started to squeal in a high-pitched voice, similar to Lavender Brown's when she gushed about Blaise Zabini.

"Aw, look at the sweet couple. Trelawney was actually right for once," he giggled. I kicked his knee so it jerked back a bit and continued to walk.

When we arrived at the Hospital Wing, I set Hermione down on the nearest bed and asked Ron to go find Madam Pomphrey. After making sure Ron was out of view, Hermione looked up and kissed my cheek.

"What..." I started, but she looked horrified and nodded towards Ron and Madam Pomphrey behind us.

"Miss Granger, what happened?" she asked. Wincing, Hermione sat up and placed her ankle in Madam Pomphrey's outstretched hand. She examined it.

"It's broken," she said after feeling for broken bones. Sighing, Hermione laid down as Madam Pomphrey put on her cast, a sip of Skele-Gro and crutches.

"I advice one of you or both stay very close to her," Madam said, searching our eyes as if we looked upset.

Nodding, Ron took Hermione's crutches while I helped her stand up; helping her put the crutches under her arms and open the door.

"Miss Granger," a voice said behind us. We turned and jumped slightly as we saw Dumbeldore in the doorway. "I have made sure you get the access you need for classes. This means you may use the third corridor with these two on your way to classes. While in the corridor, just say the class you wish to go to and open the yellow door. That'll lead you to your class. Now, Madam Pomprhey, a word please," he said and swiftly moved past us to talk to her.

"Come on, Hermione. Let's get to Charms," I said and closed the door behind us as we made our way to the third corridor.

Once inside, we looked around at the cobwebbed statutes. The corridor had still been out of bounds, despite the fact that we had already stopped Voldemort from capturing the Philosopher's Stone years ago.

"Charms," Hermione said out loud and the yellow door in front of us flashed, opened and we saw Professor Flitwick jump slightly as it opened.

We walked inside and the door closed behind us. "Oh, yes, Dumbeldore told me of you three. Take your seats," he said. I helped Hermione sit down in the front and I sat next to her, with Ron beside me.

"Can you two hand out these for me?" Flitwick asked Ron and I. We stood up and started to hand out the contents from the box for each person: a rubber mouse, a feather and a goblet. Slowly, the class started to come in and once Ron and I were done, and we sat down.

"5 points each for Gryffindor for their assistance. Okay, class. We have, let's see, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw with us today? Excellent, now, let us begin. Before we begin, I want you each to read page 325 to 327 of your book, The Standard Book of Spells and once you are done, please sit quietly until everyone is done." Flitwick said.

Everyone turned to their pages as I looked up to see Flitwick casting a charm on a piece of chalk and making it write everything he was reading to himself.

Once I was finished, I closed the book and turned to see Hermione with her head on her book, smiling at me.

"Finished 3 minutes ago," she said. I frowned, and then smirked.

"Show off," I whispered. She bit my elbow and closed her eyes.

A few minutes later, Flitwick was speaking again. "Okay, everyone. Now, I want you to pair up. I will do so. Let's see...hmm, alright. Miss Granger, you will go with Mr. Goldstein, but you must go to her, sir. Mr. Weasley and Miss Patil, Mr. Potter and Miss Chang..." he said. I opened my eyes widely and turned my head. Cho blushed. Why is she still here? I thought.

I walked up to Cho and set my things down. Might as well ask her directly, I thought to myself. "Why are you still here?" I asked her.

She smiled and blushed. "I wanted to learn some more Charms, so I stayed back. Like Fred and George," she said.

I nodded. "Sorry, I meant to say hi...it just… blurted out," I said. Cho smiled.

"Okay, now I want you all to repeat after me: Memosa Memtos." The class mimicked the words, and Flitwick nodded in approval. "Now, does anyone know what this charm is used for?" Flitwick asked.

Hermione's hand shot up in to the air and, to my surprise, so did mine. I didn't know I knew this...

"Mr. Potter!" Flitwick said. Hermione turned around in shock and I blushed.

"Uh, isn't that the charm that is used for controlling the hearts of the people of your choice?" I said.

"Yes, yes it is! 5 points for Gryffindor. I want you to control the heart and soul of the person you are partnered with. Look for their inner soul. Okay, you may begin."

"I looked at Cho and pointed my wand at her heart. "Memosa Memtos," I said and soon I saw a flash of red light go in to her heart. I waited and soon, when the red light was gone, I stared at her.

"Uh, you love… Ron," I said after gazing around the classroom. Cho raised her eyebrow, but snapped out of it and ran towards Ron.

"Ronnie-poo! Kissy time!" Cho squealed and pressed her lips against Ron's cheek.

"Oh, lord Harry. Chose someone other than me! Sure, it's Cho, but come on!" Ron shouted.

"Okay, okay, uh, you love..." I looked around the room. "Me?"

Cho blinked and walked up slowly to me. "It's the truth," she murmured huskily and leaned down, pressing her lips against mine. Honestly, the kiss was unbelievable. Her tongue stroked my lip and her hands found their way into my tangles of hair. I was unsure what to do with my hands, so I left them at my sides.

"Everyone, the counter spell is Memtos Memosa!" Flitwick squeaked as he watched girls running after guys. Neville Longbottom was being chased around the room by Luna Lovegood.

"Memtos Memosa!" Ron shouted as a squeaky blonde Ravenclaw pinned him to the floor. She let go of his wrists, looked like she was about to puke and walked away.

I broke the kiss. "Memtos Memosa." The red light came back in to my wand. Even if I didn't really like Cho anymore, it didn't mean I wasn't allowed to enjoy that kiss, right?

Right?
