is on the rocks. So enjoy and review.
Chapter Six-Full of Questions
Two weeks later. "So much for courage" said Harry as he was sitting in Divination next to Ron, who was trying desperately hard not to fall asleep, but failing horribly. Harry looked across the room to where Parvati was sitting.
"She is gorgeous. No wonder she was named after a goddess1" thought Harry who poked Ron to wake him up. Harry had wondered where her named came from, so he asked Hermione to ask her. Hermione complied and asked the object of Harry's affection where her named came from and of course, in Hermione fashion, did research herself. Harry was brought back to earth when Ron almost fell out of his chair. Harry helped his friend then went back to dreaming.
After class, Harry pulled Ron aside. " Hey, Ron how- um-how should I ask Parvati to be my girlfriend?" asked Harry. "I- I- dunno" After a moment, "I think we need some help on this," said Ron, pulling Harry after him. They went straight to the Library where Hermione was. "Hey, Herm. What's up?" asked Ron as Harry panted behind him. "Nothing, just getting some background information for that History paper. What do you want?" said Hermione, eyeing them suspiciously.
" Why do we have to want something? Can't we just want to spend some time with our best friend?" said Ron, smiling but lying threw his teeth. "Hehe, very funny Ron. Now really what do you two want?" said Hermione. "Alright, Hermione. WE need your help," said Harry. Hermione looked into his eyes and smiled. " So, let me see. You want some help with Parvati," she said, smiling clandestinely.
"How did you know?" asked Harry mystified. "Because it's written in your eyes. And besides, you haven't asked her yet. And if you haven't noticed,"-she leaned in and her head was touching his-"I am pretty damn smart" she said with a smile parting her lips. Harry and Ron just started to laugh, silently. "Lead me on, oh wise one" said Harry, grinning and his green eyes flashing.
" Okay, first thing you need to do is to take her somewhere special and then. just ask her" said Hermione. Harry and Ron both looked at her, waiting for something else to come out of her mouth. "And then?" asked Ron, seemingly interested. "That's it," said Hermione, sitting up straight. "That's it?" asked Harry, in disbelief.
"Yea, what did you expect? Writing her a sonnet, climbing up her window, and pulling a Romeo and Juliet move? It's simple. You are just asking a simple question. The worse that can happen is that she'll turn you down. Stop procrastinating. Just ask her or I will," said Hermione, slapping her book shut and piling a few books that she had to put back.
"Wow, thanks Hermione" said Harry, looking brighter. "Yeah, thanks for the tips, but one question, how do you know? Didn't Viktor ask you in the Library? That isn't that special," said Ron, sneeringly. Hermione narrowed her eyes. "Like you would know any different, Ronald Weasley. You, to my recollection, have never had a girlfriend, and I have a flawless memory," said Hermione, with ice and malice dripping off very word. Harry sat back amazed. Hermione had never been so spiteful to any of her friends, only to her enemies. Hermione stood up and left. Harry looked at Ron. He looked as if he was stabbed in the back and very dejected. Harry wondered why Hermione had acted so un-Hermione like. But
Harry could do nothing because Parvati had just walked over to them. "Hey Harry. Hermione said you had something to ask me?" she asked sweetly. "Huh? Oh yeah. Can we talk later?" asked Harry. "Sure. After dinner we could go for a walk. See you then" said Parvati turning and leaving.
Harry looked after her, his heart beating very fast. He was actually going to ask her tonight. Ron looked at his best friend. "Good luck tonight Harry," he said. "Thanks," he whispered.
It was the longest day of Harry's life. It seemed like the clock was going even slower today just to annoy him. Not to mention, Malfoy kept on snickering and teasing him, Parvati kept on sneaking glances at him, and Professor Snape took off a lot of points because he accused him of daydreaming and not paying attention, even though that was part of what happened. He kept on thinking about what to say during all of his classes, and he completely forgot what they had to do for homework, so he ended up asking Hermione or Ron instead. In the free time they had before dinner, Harry spent it in the bathroom practicing.
"Hey Parvati. Yea I needed to talk to you," said Harry. "No, no.um. Listen I've realized that I've like you a lot over the past few." Harry groans and sighs. Then he walked about into the Common Room to join Ron. "Ron, what should I say to Parvati?" he asked.
"I dunno. just tell her when you started to like her and that you would like to her boyfriend I guess," said Ron. Harry sighed. It was hopeless. He was gonna look like a fool in front of Parvati.
At dinner, Harry didn't really feel like eating. His stomach was full of butterflies and he was really nervous. What if she doesn't feel the same way and rejects me? Maybe I should ask her some other day. no wait, but what if she really does like me and becomes my girlfriend? he asked himself. He was snapped out of his thoughts by Parvati calling him. "Hey Harry. You wanna go take that walk now?" asked Parvati. "Um. sure," he stuttered.
He looked at Ron. Ron had a look that said "good luck, go for it." Parvati and Harry walked out of the Great Hall and out onto the lawns. "So, you wanted to talk to me?" asked Parvati. "Um, yea actually I d-did," stammered Harry. "What about?" smiled Parvati. "Um, I actually wanted to ask you a question,"
"Ok. What is it?" "Um, well, you see, ever since we, um, you know, kissed, Istartedtolikeyou," stammered Harry. "What did you say?" asked Parvati, surprised. "I said, that ever since we kissed I, um, started to like you," said Harry, heart beating terribly fast.
"You like me?" asked Parvati baffled. Harry nodded shyly.
"Um, I have a confession to make. I like you too, only I started liking you before we kissed, otherwise I wouldn't have kissed you," she grinned. Harry grinned back, relief flooding him. "Parvati, would you be my girlfriend?" asked Harry. "Yes!" she said, almost immediately. Harry smiled and took her in his arms. They kissed their first kiss as a couple and then walked back into the castle hand in hand and into their Common Room.
