First fanfic, was inspired by a day in my Government class.
Giggles and Coffee
I walked into potions early as always and made my way to my assigned seat. Yes Professor Slughorn insisted on assigned seating after some incident with Slytherin insulting Hufflepuff last week. I placed my inkwell and quill in perfect parallel lines on my desk and sat down.
-Now let me just mention that today Seamus blew up all the tea so I was forced to drink that awful instant coffee. What I would do for a latte right now…
So back to my point, coffee and I don't mix well, I usually get hyper and either get pissed off or uncontrollably giggly. Lets just say I was not pissed off today. -
I leaned over to pull my parchment out of my bag and noticed my desk partner Malfoy (why Merlin, just why?!) slumped in his chair so far that his head was where his back should be. I couldn't help but giggle.
Malfoy blinked his eyes open and glanced at me, "What's so funny Mudblood?"
His face was pulled into a scowl and his pet name for me hasn't bothered me since third year when I sucker punched the guy. I couldn't help myself.
"Hahahaha…yo..you…are…hysterical Malfoy!"
He gave me a strange look and started to slide into his seat correctly, knocking my ink over in the process.
This only made me laugh harder, whist malfoy scrambled to grab the ink before it spilled out.
'Stupid Coffee'
"Granger, what in the name of Merlin is wrong with you, I haven't done a thing, let alone tell a joke, not that I would tell someone as filthy as you a joke unless it's about you!"
Malfoy's face was priceless, plus his glare made it even more hilarious.
"Ahahaha, oh gosh your killin me Malfoy!"
I had to hold my sides I was laughing so hard, I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard.
'this is going to be a long day'
Soon after, all the other Slytherins and Gryffindors walked in along with Professor Slughorn. He rolled out a whiteboard that was covered in notes, and I mean so many it made me wish I'd been sick that day. Yes it was so bad that I Hermione Granger didn't want to take notes.
2 minutes into class…
I had calmed my outburst and proceeded to focus on copying the notes. But the recent memory of Malfoy's face all red and pissed off kept making me giggle.
"Granger, shut up" Malfoy whispered harshly.
"Sorry…haha…'cough'" I tried to hide my giggle but I just couldn't hold it down.
"Quiet please, there is no need for talking at the moment." Slughorn announced suddenly.
I bit my shirt to silence my giggle, but it only muffled it into a strange wheezing sound. I could almost feel Malfoy's glare at this point.
Many deep breaths later, the first few being interrupted by my giggle, I was eventually able to calm myself and continue my notes.
5 minutes later…
This was precisely when poor Neville's chair broke.
I nearly fell off my chair in silent laughter. Malfoy looked at me and slapped me on the arm.
"Granger, shut the F$%& up, I don't want to loose points!" He almost growled at me.
I couldn't stand it, it made me laugh harder if possible, I fell over into Malfoy's lap and hid my face which no doubt was red from laughing, at least I was not making noise, oh so thankful for the silent laughs.
The instant my head hit his lap however he flinched and nearly fell back in his chair.
"Mr. Malfoy is everything okay back there?"Slughorn began to slowly make his way to the back where our desk was.
Please Malfoy, cover for me just this once, I prayed.
"No, sorry I almost spilled my ink on my robes is all, nothing to worry about, sorry to interrupt." It's so unfair he can sound so bloody calm and collected.
I clumsily acted as if I was just retrieving more parchment and covered my face with my hair as best I could. 'why did I clip my bangs back today'
5 minutes later…
I had too soon forgotten about my face and raised my head to look at the board again.
"Good heavens! Miss. Granger are you not well, your face is so red!" Slughorns pitchy voice pierced the silence of the room.
S#& ! He saw me, oh god what do I do!
"Oh, you see Professor, this mor…" I started
"Professor some rude Ravenclaw decided to experiment with hot sauces this morning and its probably just a side effect, my face was a bit red earlier too, but I ate earlier so its most likely just wearing off."
Draco Malfoy just saved my butt twice in one day, what the hippogriff!
My laughing ceased as I stared at him in shock.
"Take a picture it'll last longer Granger." His smooth drawl brought me back to reality.
"Like I'd want a picture of you, but besides that thanks."
"Your just lucky I'm in a good mood today." He smirked and turned back to his notes.
10-15 minutes later…
I had been taking my notes diligently but I made the mistake of glancing at Malfoy again and I felt the endorphins start to build and a tugging at the corners of my mouth.
"..heh..he…heh…hehe…heheha…HAHAHAmmmph"
who knew Slytherin cloaks could be so useful.
"Granger, seriously, you were doing so well," he groaned, "what with you not laughing once for 15 minutes." He didn't look mad at all this time, he was actually smiling too.
Between my muffled giggles I managed a "I'm sorr..rrrii…eee…hahaha"
"Merlin Granger your going to set me off now, shut up." His usually smooth tone was filled with slight chuckles.
A few minutes later…
Slughorn made his walk around the room to check his students' progress. As he passed our desk I heard Draco hold his breath.
Just two desks up sat Blaise and Goyle, Blaise took out his wand cautiously through his sleeve and whispered some incantation. Next thing I knew Professor Slughorn had a giant portrait of Snape's face on the back of his jacket.
I look up at Draco and we both lost it.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAA OH MERLIN"
"HAHAHAHAHA MY SIDESSSS AHHAHAHA!"
Yup, I'm gone, no control, sorry Slughorn but I can't hold back anymore.
You can't tame giggles especially if they are contagious.
First time writing a fanfic, please give me advice and feel free to critique! :D
