When You Kiss Me Like This
Harry, Ron and Hermione all walked into the common room dead tired. After picking up his class again, Hagrid promised that they would learn everything they needed to know for their N.E.W.T.s at the end of the year. So each time the trio got back from Care of Magical Creatures, they had gotten enough physical exertion for the year. Harry's eyes glanced over to the notice board on the wall.
"Oh, hey guys! Look at this!" Harry said, getting up.
"They were filled with curiosity that gave them renewed energy.
"A Christmas ball." Hermione said.
Ron could hear the slightest of excitement in her voice.
Maybe this time, he thought.
"Oh, no!" Hermione said all of a sudden.
"What?" said Harry. He too had heard the excitement.
"This means even more gossip," she said jerking her head at Lavender and Parvati, who had already begun to talk faster and more excitedly. "…and talk of hair, boys, clothes, boys…" she let her sentence trail off.
"Then," she said, downheartedly, "They will be coming after me."
Harry and Ron gave her confused glances.
Hermione sighed. "Who do you want to go to the ball with, Hermione?" Hermione said imitating Lavenders voice.
At this, Harry gave Ron a look and raised his eyebrows. Ron shot Harry a warning glance, and turned back to Hermione.
"What color are your dress robes going to be, Hermione?" Hermione said, now imitating Parvati.
Ron and Harry laughed at how well she could impersonate the two girls.
"I'm so tired!" Hermione exclaimed. "But I really want to get a head start on that Charms essay. Two rolls of parchment, that should be easy enough."
Ron rolled his eyes.
"Hermione, you want a head start? You've already got a head start! Not on the students, but the teachers. You make them come up with their teaching schedules a week before so that you can stay ahead. Harry and I haven't even started out Potions essay that's due tomorrow!"
Ron looked at Hermione and winked.
"Which reminds me…"
Hermione's tone was serious. "No, Ronald, no! I told you when the essay was assigned that you went copying off me this time. What did you do? You neglected to do it! Well that's what you get!"
"But Hermione," Ron whined, "I still have that star chart to fill out and a dream diary to make up!"
"Not to mention a prefects meeting after dinner." Hermione added.
Harry, who knew as soon as Ron brought it up that there was going to be a fight, had already sat down and started working. The couple didn't even notice.
"I forgot about that…" Ron said. "Hermione, please, just this once…." Ron made his eyes get really big and he stuck out his bottom lip.
Hermione consented. "Alright, this last time…"
Harry just rolled his eyes.
A/N: What do you think? Review and tell me how I'm doing. If I get enough good reviews I'll continue. This is going to be kind of like a song fic a little later in the story.
