Author's Annoying stuff:

So Yeah, this is chapter one, no foulmouthed flames, I'm giving you my outline:

The school holds a play (Romeo & Juliet) during... September-October time, and Dolores is away to report for the minister. Hermione takes Dean for couple's audition and Harry asks, Hermione downheartedly says no, in an attempt to make him jealous. Unfortunately, Dean goes gay for seamus and well... MENTAL BLOCK, nothing next yet, but read & enjoy!

Chapter 1: Jealousy Please


'Mione, please, just– Oh, will you talk to me… C'mon, just give me a sec, you've talked to five other guys now, please…' the tanned, six packed boy pleaded to the brown-bushy haired girl. She was obviously focused on a folder rather than be quidditch-bothered by Professor Binns' drones or get fussed over Harry's ramblings. When the girl had had enough, she faced the boy and said: 'Kai, what do you want?' The boy steadied himself and took a deep breath, then answered: 'I-I, will you be my Juliet?'

The girl was flushed and stared at her lap, bit her lip and waited for Harry to catch up: 'No! Not like that! I mean, for the p-play… Please.' The boy tried his best puppy-eyed look he can do, the girl blushed at the sight of this, but the girl replied mournfully: 'I, I-I, Harry, I said yes to Dean Thomas, I'm so sorry-'

Rrring… The class bell rang and that signalled the students to wake up and Professor Binns to glide through the blackboard. 'I'm so sorry Harry…' Hermione tried to control her bewilderment at saying no. In truth, Hermione had intended for this to happen, and her plan to make Harry jealous was, in truth, failing.

'Harry, please, just… I'm truly sorry' she took a deep breath, then said: 'Am I right that at the end of the play, Juliet kisses Romeo? (Harry hid a smile) Well, I'm about to promise that, that, I'll kiss you after performance, if I get the part, of course.' Hermione ran ahead of Harry, to their next class, Transfiguration class.

'… for reverting objects made to look like its true form, to what it truly is…' Professor McGonagall reached for a silver cup, used a counter-spell for the charm she put on the magpie earlier to turn into a cup, it did not work, 'Instead of that class, I will be teaching you to use this spell; Recantem Veritatis.' She reached for the cup again, and said: 'Recantem Veritatis!'

Instantly, silver and green wisps of light touched the rim of the cup, then a loud squawk!, Harry took a glance at Hermione- who immediately returned the glance, then both turned away, and the cup was magically back into a magpie.

The Ravenclaws were left astonished, as the Gryffindors cheered for their Head of House.

The rest of the day was pretty boring with Snape, substitute for Dolores Umbridge, who promised a return before Christmas, made them copy all the Principles of Magical Defence.

Back at the Gryffindor common room, Harry, Hermione and Ron were nestled on their favourite, large, dilapidated armchair. 'What are up with you two?' Ron said, eyeing Harry and Hermione, who were both staring at the fireplace. 'Nothing' Harry and Hermione answered, utterly perplexed at Ron noticing their attitudes. Hermione stood up, crossed the room, and sat next to Ginny, who was reading Witches' Weekly.

'… Hermione, Ugh*… Don't take your eyes of the book… Argh! He's staring at me, hmph, just walk over, and act like you've promised nothing…' Hermione thought, she was surprised that her feet had taken her halfway across the room unconsciously, Harry not taking his eyes off hers. 'Have you seen who my partner is lately snogging?' Hermione pointed to Harry's left to Dean and Seamus, enjoying each other's lips.

'So, y-you're still auditioning with him?' Harry dared to ask. Hermione grimaced at the gay couple on the left then said: 'Yeah, of course, you? Who're you auditioning with?' Hermione's eyes wandered below Harry's belt. 'Luna, Luna Lovegood' Harry said, rising from his seat, with his wand stiff, and throbbing.
