Here is the next chapter! Hope you enjoy it! :D
I almost tripped on a root while walking back to the path. 'I wonder what harry and Ron are doing' I thought as I heard rustling in the bushes in front of me. Excitement filled my heart as thoughts of it being jack came in my mind. I walked closer to the bushes and realized it was just a squirrel.
"Jack, are you there?" I spoke again to the forest, slightly disappointed. No answer, 'jumping to conclusions again Hermione!' I thought to myself.
"Wait, WHO'S JACK" a familiar voice spoke to me as I turned around only to witness my ginger friend Ron. I was even more shocked as I saw harry palming his own face while hiding under the bush behind Ron.
"RON!" I shot. "Were you two spying on me?!"
"N-no! A course not! We have better things to do!" Ron said immediately after I spoke.
"Oh really, Then what were you doing hiding behind a bush?!"
"W-we were… um…h-having a picnic!"
"In the forbidden forest, are you mad?" I said.
Ron didn't speak for a moment until he finally said "It was Harry's idea" and walked behind harry who gave an annoyed look at Ron and stood up and out of the bush to face me.
I gave him my 'expecting an answer' look.
"Hermione, you see we, well I was worried about you. I saw you going into the forbidden forest, alone. So after buying our snacks we came to look, to see if you were ok. But then you did something weird, you just started speaking to the air or to yourself, I don't know but… who IS this jack?" he asked suspiciously.
"You didn't see him?!" "He was right there! Standing on that branch and then h-he flew!" I said doing violent hand motions. "How did you not see him?" I asked a bit scared.
"I just saw you talking to a branch…and then saying jack!" Ron spoke, now standing next to harry.
They both glared at me.
"Humph… well it's this guy who I saw in the common room. He's not from Hogwarts and he looked like he was stealing something from my dorm so I caught him and told him to never come to Hogwarts again. But then I met him again over here…which is not part of Hogwarts."
They both looked unconvinced and confused, 'Typical' I thought.
"So, he's not your boyfriend and you weren't secretly meeting each other?"
I blushed furiously "RON! NO! Where did you get that barbaric thought?"
"I just wanted to know what he is, he's defiantly not a muggle, and he has white hair when he looks like a teenager and he is barefoot, in the winter and he can fly! And he has a staff which he carries around with him and that staff of his shoots out ice! Look what he did to my wand!"
I showed them my frozen icicle which had now started dripping. They both looked at the wand and then at me and then back at the wand.
"Hermione, I think you need some butter beer." Ron said concerned.
"No I don't Ron!" I shot, I looked expectantly at harry who was giving me a poker face.
"H-harry, you trust me don't you?"
"Umm..."
I exhaled loudly as I said goodbye and told them I was going to relax for a while in the library, it was after all my second heaven.
I guess I was imagining it.
I was sitting on one of the chairs in the library cracking my brain just to figure out what he was, and how he could fly. After hours of research and reading my brain felt like a scrambled egg. I seriously needed to get some rest. I looked up out of my book and realized it was almost lights out. 'How long have you been here Hermione?' I thought as I said goodnight to the librarian and headed to my dorm.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" a familiar voice spoke, a voice I was not in the mood to hear.
"Hello there, mud blood" he spoke.
"Shut it, ferret" I spoke in a serious tone.
"I don't have time for your stupidity."
"Oh, tut-tut I guess my luck was bad" he said mimicking a sad baby face. Crabbe and Goyle on the other hand fake laughed behind him. They were like his two body guards, always sticking to him.
I just gave him a death glare before walking past him. Draco Malfoy had changed a lot since his past years. I guess puberty had pity on him, making him quite attractive. But despite his attractiveness he disgusted me. He would be the last person I would fall for.
"Oh, granger you got a little something on your face there" he said with an evil smirk. As I turned around, hot liquid splashed my face, drenching my shirt all the way to my waist. I could feel my face burning badly and my eyes were suddenly watery.
He had just crossed the line.
"Malfoy, you asked for this" I said in a deadly serious tone.
"Augmenti maxima!" I said, pointing my wand straight at Draco's face. I was furious at him for doing that. (This spell is half made up XD)
A strong blast of freezing cold water shot at Draco's face causing him to fly back at least a meter or two. Crabbe and co. just stood shocked as I was about to hex them too. I was too late. They ran off dragging Draco who was now drenched in cold water and shivering.
"M-my f-father w-will hear h-hear about this!"He said as he vanished out of sight.
I laughed until I looked down at my robe. 'Ugh…curse you malfoy'.
"Where's Hermione? It's already past lights out?" said harry.
"I don't know mate, oh and checkmate" replied Ron as his queen mercilessly knocked off Harry's king.
Harry sighed and put the board back in the shelf.
"I think we should check" immediately after he said that the common room door creaked open revealing a red, burnt and drenched Hermione.
