Dislaimer: I don't own Harry Potter :(
Thank you for the review, alerts and faves! :)
Oh, sorry, this one is un beta-ed because I can't seem to reach my beta (FallenForTheDraco) right now. But I wanted to put this up.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Two Chocolate Frogs
and an emerald bracelet engraved with H.G
"AAAAAHHHH!"
A high pitched squeal erupted from the Griffyndor table.
Parvati Patel had just jumped up from her seat, screaming her head off and pointing at something that was currently hopping across her plate. Everyone's heads turned round to see her panicking over...two chocolate frogs?
The Golden Trio were eating their breakfast at the time and had a huge shock when Parvati literally ran over to them, using Harry as a shield to hide from the frog. Ginny rolled her eyes at her as she leant over to whisper into Hermione's ear.
"Could she be any more obvious? She's literally flinging herself at my boyfriend!" Ginny hissed to her. Hermione couldn't agree more. She didn't dislike Parvati; it was just the fact that Parvati always seemed a bit desperate to go after Harry (as was most of the female population of Hogwarts) since he had defeated Voldemort. But, being the person she was Hermione tried to calm Ginny down before turning to Parvati.
"Parvati, what was it that made you scream?" Parvati scoffed.
"As if you don't know!" She glared at Hermione before crossing her arms. "And if you want your pets back, they're over there!" She pointed a perfectly manicured finger to the left of her before storming out of the Great Hall. Everyone around them had gone back to eating, completely ignoring the 'frogs' and Parvati.
"I actually don't know what just happened." Hermione said slowly. This simple sentence caused Ron to choke on his eggs, Harry pattin him on the back and Ginny spluttering her drink.* Hermione looked at her three friends with a confused look. "What?"
Ron gave her a look. "Hermione, it's not everyday you 'don't know' something! We have to treasure this moment." Hermione just scowled in response. She turned her head to where Parvati had pointed. There weren't any frogs. She must be ill or hallucinating; perhaps both. Hermione went back to thinking about the note and present that she had received yesterday. Currently, the bracelet was hidden from sight under her robe on her left wrist. It felt as if it belonged there.
Hermione didn't realise that she was day-dreaming. Until she was poked by Ginny. Hard.
"What?" she snapped at her friend.
"Your frogs are on your plate." Ginny said quite simply.
"My - ?" She looked down.
Sure enough, sitting on her toast (well, there goes breakfast), were two chocolate frogs. They stared at her with a blank look on their faces as they croaked. Gingerly, Hermione took one in each hand. She did like chocolate frogs when they weren't 'alive' and these were obviously moving.
"Here, you can have them Ginny." Hermione passed them over to her friend but Ginny rejected them, shoving them back in Hermione's hands.
"No, their yours look! They have you initials on them."
She looked once again back at the frogs who were still staring at her with their big, glazed eyes. Sure enough, on each frog's back were the letters: H.J.G.
"Looks like it's from your secret admirer. Oh! And he knows you well seeing as you don't tell your middle name to anyone but us." Ginny winked at her. This got Harry and Ron's attention. Well, mainly Harry as Ron was too busy eating to notice the girls whispering.
"Secret admirer? Hermione, do you have something to tell us?" Harry asked as he raised his eyebrows. Ron by now, had stopped eating, but still had food hanging out of his mouth.
"Wrah amarehr?"
Harry took the liberty of closing Ron's mouth whilst the girls both rolled their eyes at Ron's horrendous table manners.
"Nothing!" Hermione shot him a glare which made Harry drop the subject. However, Ginny was keen on letting them know what was happening.
"Well, basically Harry, Hermione got a gift yesterday. It was the nicest thing ever as well! The person left a note as well, saying that every day they were going to leave a present and then they would reveal themselves because they - " Ginny was cut off with Hermione's hand over her mouth.
"We're going. Now." Hermione hissed in her ear as she dragged Ginny from her seat and walked out of the Great Hall, leaving the boys to ponder about what Ginny had said.
When they were quite a fair distance away from the Hall or anyone else for that matter, Hermione took her hand back from its place on Ginny's face and gave her a dissaproving look.
"Why did you tell them?"
"You never said that we couldn't. Besides, he's my boyfriend." Ginny retorted back smartly.
Hermione sighed. "Fine. But don't tell them the rest. I don't want anyone else to know." She gave Ginny one of the frogs. "Here. Have one, I won't be able to eat both before class or I'll feel sick and I don't want to miss Ancient Runes! We're going to learn about Ancient Runes in the Aztec times."
"Interesting. Thanks 'Mione."
Hermione took a bite out of the frog that she was holding and instantly realised that this was no ordinary one. The chocolate was a lot richer and smooth, melting in her mouth instantly. It had a very velvety texture and she enjoyed it whilst it lasted. She didn't realise that the she had eaten the whole thing within a matter of minutes.
"Hermione, whoever this person is, they have great taste in chocolate!"
She could only smile in response.
*Haha! This seems to happen quite often in this fic. Should I make it a running gag?
Arghh! It's so short! I'm sorry. I sort of planned each chapter mini, except, maybe the last one will be long. Just so you know, when I thought about it, I don't know if I'll have an epilogue or not...If I am going to have one, I don't know what it's going to be.
NOTE: I'm sorry, but I don't think that I'll be able to post tomorrow's one for tomorrow. I'm going up to Cambridge to visit my aunt. I might bring my laptop, but I'm definately bringing a notebook. I might be able to put it up at like 11pm-12am GMT (I live in England). But it I can't I'll put day 3 and 4 up together. Sorry again! :/
Anyway, thank you all so much for the fave author/story and story alerts! It's great to know that you guys like it! :) (again!)
