Jenine woke up with a start, thinking that it was another working day. Without thinking, she quickly got dressed and headed down to the hall. She thought that everyone was already in the hall, since no one was there in the common room.
When she reached the hall, she was confused because not so many people were in the hall. Then it dawned on her.
'Today's Saturday,' she thought before hitting the palm of her head on her forehead.
She sighed as she made her way back to the tower. On the way, she bumped into someone that she thought she wouldn't see yet.
"Uh, hi," he managed to say.
"Hi," she replied before they just stood there in silence.
When he started to walk away, she blurted, "I'm sorry for PMSing."
Draco looked at her for a moment before saying, "And I want to know about your period problems because?"
"Idiot!" she exclaimed, "I just apologized to you about the whole thing."
"Oh," he said, "Okay. Well, I'm sorry for being an immature prat and for calling you a killjoy."
"Apology accepted," she said happily, "But never call me a killjoy."
"Yeah, I learned that the hard way," he said, "so, uh, aren't you supposed to be heading to class?" Draco asked.
"Uh, no," she said, hiding her smile.
"Oh, you're calling in sick, aren't you?" he asked.
"No Draco, I'm not."
"Oh. Then where are you going?"
"Saturday, Draco," she said, laughing.
His eyes suddenly widened before he said, "Seriously?"
She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I completely forgot, too."
"Good, because I'm usually not the only one who makes a mistake," he said coolly.
Jenine rolled her eyes and said, "Well, before your head gets too big, why don't we go eat some breakfast?"
Draco merely smirked before grabbing his girlfriend's hand and walking back to the Great Hall.
At the tower, Melany was also beginning to wake up.
'Stupid sun,' she thought as she go her pillow and pressed it hard on her face.
After failing miserably at trying to go back to sleep, she got up and slowly got ready. When she came down, she found a fully dressed, but yet sleeping two Weasleys on the couch.
She smiled as she made her way to their heads, which were drawn back. She gently picked their heads up before slamming them together.
The twins woke up and covered their heads.
"What the bloody hell was that for?" they both said.
"Well, how else would you expect me to wake you guys up? Tap you gently on your shoulders and say sweetly, 'Wake up, sleepy heads'?" she asked.
"Well, it would've been nicer than what you just did," Fred replied, still rubbing his head.
"Yeah, but then it would've been less entertaining," she said, laughing.
"What's so funny?" Blaise asked as he came down the stairs.
"Their pain," Melany replied, still laughing.
"Well, I'm hungry. So can we head to the Hall now?" George pleaded.
The other three nodded before heading out of the room. Much to their surprise, they found Jenine and Draco happily eating at the table.
"Aw, you guys made up!" Melany said happily, which made the couple blush.
"Let me guess," Blaise started, "You both thought it was another weekday so you quickly dressed but then found out it was a Saturday all along?"
"Shut it Blaise," the couple said before the rest of the group started laughing.
"So, Draco, do you remember anything that happened last night?" George said, smiling.
"All I remember is that we were playing a game. Then, everything just blacked out," he explained.
"Okay, good," the twins said.
"Draco then turned to Jenine and asked, "What are they not telling me?"
"I'll explain later," she simply said.
After settling down and eating some breakfast, the rest of the group arrived at the table.
"Where are the students?" Jenine asked.
"They wanted to go back to their dorm to get ready," Ginny explained.
"So what are you all planning to do today?" Ron asked.
"Nothing really. Just hanging around, I guess," Harry said while the others nodded.
"Sounds fun," Ron replied sarcastically.
"Oh, come off it, Ron. Unless you have a better suggestion," Hermione said.
"I do, actually. You guys should all go on dates."
Everyone else's jaws as Ginny said, "Since when have you started telling people to go on dates?"
"Well, you love birds haven't spent any time together since we got here, so why not?" he said, shrugging.
"Aw, our little Ronniekins has a soft side," Fred teased.
"But, Ronnie, who will you be spending your day with since Lav-Lav isn't here?" George asked.
"With Fred," Ron said plainly.
"Oh that's right," Harry started, "Angelina isn't here either."
"Don't rub it in," Fred mumbled.
"It's okay, Freddie, you have Ron," Ginny replied.
"Unfortunately that doesn't make me feel better at all," he said.
Everyone laughed as they continued their breakfast.
"Well, I guess me and Hermione should get going now," Harry said, standing up.
Hermione gave him a look of surprise, but he just winked at her. She finally got where he was going with all this, and stood up as well.
"See you guys later," she said before the others said bye and they left.
"So why the sudden urge to leave?" she asked, once they were out of the hall.
"I just wanted more time to spend with you," he replied.
"You can be so corny at times."
"Ah, but yet you enjoy my corniness," he said coolly.
She merely just rolled her eyes before saying, "So where are we going anyway?"
"I was hoping you would know the answer to that."
"Unfortunately, I don't."
The couple thought for a moment before Harry said, "Meet me by the lake in about 5 minutes."
She nodded before he sped off.
Hermione made her way to the lake and looked for a perfect spot. She finally found it under a tree that provided enough shade for the both of them. She waited about2 minutes before Harry finally arrived, a basket in hand.
"A picnic?" she asked
"No, this is for the giant squid," he said sarcastically, "Of course a picnic. I knicked some sandwiches that the elves made for lunch."
"Since when did you start to steal?"
"Since I was desperate for food."
Hermione rolled her eyes as she grabbed a bottle of pumpkin juice from the basket.
"So, how does it feel to actually see your parents?" she asked, taking a sip.
"Well, it's weird, considering the fact that one, they don't know I exist yet and two, they hate each other's guts."
"Didn't Sirius say that your parents actually get together in their 7th year?"
"Yeah, but he didn't say exactly when or why."
"Well, I hope it's soon. I've had enough of their fighting," Hermione said, sighing.
"Well it's nothing compared to what Sirius and Arianne have."
"Those two just need to realize their love for each other."
"Well, how do you know that they have love for each other at all?"
"They had Melany, didn't they?"
"That's true," Harry said, laughing.
With that, they happily continued their picnic by the lake.
Meanwhile, Blaise and Ginny walked hand in hand around the grounds.
"You know the only thing that sucks about this whole thing?" Blaise asked.
"What?"
"The part where we have to take the whole 7th year all over again."
"Oh, come on. I thought you over that whole thing."
"Of course not!" he complained.
"Okay, don't get your knickers in a twist. Besides, I don't see what the big deal about it is."
"The big deal about it is," he started, "is learning things we already know."
"Which gives us a good reason not to pay attention in class," she argued.
"Well, then, what was the point in coming here then?"
"I don't know. I thought it was going to be fun, and it is."
"Yeah, when we're not in the classroom!"
"Just get over it, love. It's only a couple of hours for 5 days a week. You can handle that."
"I guess," he muttered before Ginny rolled her eyes and they continued their walk through the grounds.
"George, where are we going?" Melany said as she was being led by her boyfriend.
"Patience is key," he replied.
"If that was a way to sound smarter then it wasn't a very good way at all," she said teasingly.
George rolled his eyes as they turned to the last corridor. A few more steps more, and they finally stopped in front of an all too familiar door. She turned at him with a questioning look, but he just winked and opened the door.
As soon as he opened it, Melany gasped and then squealed in delight. There in front of them, was a big moon bounce.
"You like it?" he asked.
"Of course I do! But isn't it a Muggle thing?" she asked.
"So?"
"So, how'd you find out about these?"
"Well, as you know, my dad works in the Muggle department, so he had to learn about Muggle birthday parties. And unfortunately, he dragged me into it as well. And that's when I learned about them. Their quite fun," he explained.
"Well, duh! What's more fun than a moon bounce?" she replied.
"I can think of things," he said, smirking.
Melany just sighed before she sped off to the bounce. She was already bouncing away when George entered.
"Look what I can do!" she said before doing a front flip.
"I can do that," he replied.
He then took a deep breathe before jumping and attempting to do one, but he failed miserably.
"Looks like someone needs to learn how to flip," she teased, helping him up.
"Oh shush. That was just a warm up," he replied.
"Sure it was," she said, jokingly.
"I'll show you," he muttered under his breath.
With that, they spent the rest of the day in the moon bounce, where George continued to fail in his flips and Melany just watched, laughing.
"I'm bored," Draco said, twirling a quill around his fingers.
He and Jenine have been sitting in the classroom for about an hour while she graded papers.
"You know, you're always free to leave," she said, putting another paper in the 'Checked' section.
"But then I'd be leaving you, and that's pretty mean," he said, innocently.
"It's not like you haven't done anything mean before," she snapped back.
He suddenly stopped twirling and looked up, "Are you PMSing again?"
"No, I am not PMSing again, for your information. So sod off," she replied.
"Okay, okay. Merlin, you don't have to be so snappy," he said, his tone getting lower.
Jenine sighed before saying, "I'm sorry, Draco. This teaching stuff is just getting me stressed out."
"Well, you don't have to worry about it so much. Melany doesn't."
"Well, yeah, because it's Melany."
"That's true," he said, chuckling, "But seriously, you need to lighten up a bit."
"And how do you suppose I do that?"
"Eating a few jelly beans and chocolate frogs always helps," he said, reaching into his pocket.
"Oh yeah, and risk myself getting embarrassed again by asking what color people's knickers are."
Draco laughed before he held out a chocolate frog and pouted, "Please, for me?"
Jenine looked at him for a long time before putting his hand down and giving him a light kiss on the lips.
"Wow, you didn't even eat it and you're already lighting up," he teased.
She laughed before they kissed again, this time longer, and deeper. The were so involved that they didn't even notice the door open.
"Bloody hell," a voice said.
