Chapter 28 of True Love:
Disclaimer: I do not own anything regarding Harry Potter.
Summary: Seventh year at Hogwarts has finally come, and Hermione and Draco both realize that they are Head Boy and Head Girl. Hermione decides that this year will be the worst, but did she expect to fall into love with Draco? And how can their love survive … when one is in Gryffindor, and the other is in Slytherin?
Recap from Chapter 2:
"Are you done" asked Snape to the class.
"Everybody put the into a bottle, label it, and turn it into me." Hermione labeled her bottle with her name and Malfoy's name, and presented it to Snape. He took it with a scowl, and said"I hope that this is a good one. Or else" he said menacingly. Hermione shuddered, but walked out of the room quietly.
Chapter Three:
"There will be a Hogsmeade trip this weekend. We will be going at nine in the morning, just to warn you" announced Professor McGonagall.
"Now, on with the lesson… Today we will be learning how to change water into juice. Now, you want to say the spell loud and clearly. Changeo Allela Juicio.'
Hermione swiveled around in her chair to look at Harry.
"Harry! You're doing it wrong! You're supposed to say Changeo AlLELA Juicio, not Changeo Alleila Juicio" scolded Hermione.
"Oh, before I forget, we will be having a special class that will teach us about the Muggle things' inside our common room. You are welcome to attend it if you like. It is not necessary" said McGonagall.
"Professor? I thought that those items weren't allowed in Hogwarts," said Hermione.
"Yes, Ms. Granger, you are correct. However, Dumbledore pulled a few strings with the Ministry and managed to get the Muggle stuff into Hogwarts."
"Wow! I'm going to go" whispered Hermione excitedly.
"Why" asked Ron in disgust. "You already know everything. Its just more work for you"
"Because! I advise you and Harry to go, too. You might be able to help others, Harry, since you're living with the Dursley's and all" said Hermione to Harry pointedly.
"Fine, I'll go, only because you said so" groaned Harry.
Hermione beamed, and blushed, too.
"So, Malfoy, are you going to go to the Muggle class" asked Hermione.
"Shut Up, Granger. Like I care. I have better things to do than go to that stupid Muggle class" sneered Malfoy.
"Fine, Malfoy. Forget I even asked" exclaimed Hermione in frustration. "I was just trying to be nice."
"In fact, I already forgot. And I don't need your sympathy! You can just take it somewhere else."
Hermione sighed and walked away from Malfoy. Forgive her for being polite.
"Good evening" exclaimed Professor Dumbledore.
"I see that you have all come to learn more about computers and televisions and all that stuff."
The students murmured in confusion.
Dumbledore laughed. "Don't worry. I believe you'll get it by the end of the year. Now, do we have any helpers who know what these Muggle things are"
Hermione raised her hand shyly. So did Harry and a few other students.
"Ah! Very good! Will you all proceed to the front"
"Now, let me give you a few seconds to actually experiment with the tools and things, while I give these students here a talk."
"All I want you to do is help these students understand telephones, Internet, AIM, and televisions. Each one of those students has the actual thing on their desk. Understood" he asked.Everyone nodded.
Professor Dumbledore looked up at the students, smiling.
"Mr. Malfoy! I advise you to ask Ms. Granger here for help."
Hermione walked over to Malfoy.
"So, I thought you wouldn't come to the Muggle class."
"I was just saying that to make you mad" said Malfoy with a shrug. "Now tell me how you work this com-com…"
"It's a computer."
"Whatever, just hurry up"
"Okay, first you turn on the screen. And then you proceed to turn on the power button, and the sound button."
"Now" asked Malfoy.
"You wait. Okay, now you go to Internet Explorer. And…"
This went on until Malfoy got hold of what to do and how to work a computer without using Magic.
He also had a screen name which was 'Pureblood Rocks' and he had talked to Hermione for a couple of minutes to get the hang of it.
"How do you work the telephone"
"You push in numbers. And you get to talk to the person on the other line. And the television shows different shows once you turn it on."
Hermione was incredibly tired. She had no idea that teaching somebody would be this tiring. Less it is Malfoy!
As soon as Hermione got back to her room, she fell asleep quickly. She was really sleepy, and not to mention tired.
She had a feeling that the next few days would be quite abnormal. It's just too bad that she didn't know how abnormal it is!
Draco was really confused on his part. The telephone, computer, Internet, television? How did the Muggles ever handle life that well?
He shrugged, and fell back asleep, thinking of the day's events.
He knew that he had annoyed Hermione quite a lot. He would apologize later. Someday for sure.
