Hermione's Pissed

Chapter Ten

I'm back from vacation! It was pretty cool in New Orleans except Bourbon Street smelt like trash and pee, and the homeless people kept wanting me to give them quarters to buy prostitutes a drink. Don't know how that would work. Then there was my trip up to my cousin's cabin in the mountains, that was awesome. I even wrote and finished the next chapter so that one should be up today too hopefully. Oh and A Very Potter Sequel is awesome, I think everyone should watch it on Youtube.

"They were all over each other Haylee," She cried." It was so disgusting."

"Are you jealous Hermione?" I asked.

"No," She answered a tad too quickly." I just don't see how I'm going to be able to go to the Christmas party with him if he's off sucking face with Lavender."

"Go with someone else," I stated." Make him jealous, not the other way around."

"Go with someone else," She thought." Who?"

"Whoever makes Ron the most jealous," I said." Oh, hey Harry."

"Hey guys, what are you doing in the library?" He asked.

"Returning books," I answered." What are you doing here?"

"I need your help. I don't know who to ask to the party." He said.

"I take it you don't want to ask Ginny then, huh?" I asked.

"Why would I want to do that?" He blushed.

"Gee, I don't know."

"Who are you going with then?" He asked.

"I'm not going with anyone." I stated.

"Why not? Doesn't Derrick want to go?" Harry asked.

"He's over in the U.S. signing for a record deal." I said.(AN:Because I can say he is.)

"Really?" I nodded.

"Just ask someone you like," I told him." Someone cool."

"Someone cool," He said." I can do that. Oh, and Hermione, Ron's being a complete ass now since he's been dating Lavender."

"That's not a surprise," I said." Why is he going out with her again?"

"Beats me," Harry added." All right, thanks guys. Later."

"Later," I waved." Come on, I'm hungry and I don't think there will be anything good at the party."

"How do you know?" Hermione asked.

"Neville is one of the people who are serving at the party because he wanted in, and Slughorn told him all the stuff that he will be serving. Nothing sounds good at all."

"Fine," She said." We'll go get you some food, fatty.

"I'm not fat, and you're going to eat too, because I'm making you."

"What is this? A dictatorship?"

"You bet your ass it is," I replied." Let's go."

OK, another one of my not so great plans. Seems like I was having a lot of those lately. Could I possibly be loosing my touch? Anyway, we got to the Great Hall, and let's just say I should have come up with a better idea.

"Uh, Hermione," I stopped." I changed my mind. I'm not hungry any more."

"That is complete bull shit, Haylee, and you know it," She said." What could- oh crap."

"See," I motioned towards the end of the table." We can just go."

"No, no it's OK," She was such a bad liar." We'll just eat here." We sat as far away from them as possible.

"You sure?" I asked filling up my cup with water.

"Yeah." She lied again.

"You are so full of crap, Hermione," The sound of owl wings swooped in through the hall." Wonder who that's for."

"Don't know."

Well it looks like we're about to find out

The grey owl flew above our heads and landed right in front of Ron and Lavender, and I just so happened to see that the letter the owl was carrying was a red envelope. This should be fun.

"You're day is about to get a whole lot brighter." I smiled as I watched the eyes of my tall, red haired friend open it.

"RONALD WEASLEY!"

Boy does that sound familiar or what? And the best part is that it is Jess' voice!

"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO HERMIONE? YOU ARE SO LUCKY ALLIE AND I AREN'T THERE TO KICK YOUR UNGRATEFUL LITTLE GINGER ASS AROUND. YOU BETTER APOLOGISE OR YOU'LL GET IT. MARK MY WORDS!"

With those final words the red letter ripped itself to pieces. I am so glad to owled them, and by the look on Hermione's face, it was worth it.

"Feel better now?" I asked turning my attention back to her instead of Ron's scarlet colored face.

"Much," She said." And I think I decided who I'm going to ask to the party."

"Who?" I took a sip from my glass.

"Cormac McLaggen," She said as if it were nothing. Which it was! I nearly chocked to death from my water." I know what you're thinking, but I thought it would annoy Ron the most."

"I guess, but really Hermione, Cormac?" I asked.

"Yes, Haylee," She replied." There he is, so I'm going to go ask him." She stood and went to the little piece of shit. She must really want to make him jealous.

"Hi, Haylee," Bailey came up to me with a bright smile on here face." I was told to give this to you." She handed a letter.

"Thanks," I said." Who's it from?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out," She smiled." Hey, Hermione. See you both at the party."

"Bye." We both said.

"Well?" I asked her.

"Looks like I have a date," She answered." Now you just need-"

"I already told you Hermione, I'm going alone and I'm OK with that."

"Fine," She said." But who's that from? Maybe someone wanted to ask you via message."

"Hermione, there's only one person I want to go with and he can't go, and even if he did Harry would come after us with pitch forks and lit torches."

"You're going to have to tell Harry the truth eventually." She explained."

"Well then I'd rather it be later, and I'm sure he'd agree, too." I said opening the parchment.

Dear Haylee,

I know this is completely short notice and everything, but you can kick my ass for it later, but anyway, I was thinking and since pretty much every student is going home for Christmas break you could stay here. With me. Like I said before I know it's really short notice and understand if you can't, but I thought I should ask either way. Hopefully you can though.

Love,

D

"Awe," Hermione said." That is so cute. You should stay."

"Let's see," I pondered the thought." Spend break with my brother and friends whom I see everyday, or spend break with my boyfriend in a deserted castle. Gees that's a toughie."

"Then you'll have to tell McGonagall, and he's right I don't think anyone will stay, so it would just be the two of you- why do you have that look on your face?" Hermione asked.

"What look?" I stood to go back up to the common room." Now if you'll excuse me I have to go get ready."

"We have two hours."

"Plenty of time." I said.

"You are such a girl." She replied.

"When I want to be."

"Ready Harry?" I asked as we both waited for Luna to meet us to go to the party.

"I guess," He mumbled. He wasn't one for parties." I still can't believe you wore that dress after I told you countless times not to."

"Just to piss you off," I chuckled. It was so much fun." But either way you need to stop being so over protective. I'm 16; I can take care of myself. Besides, I'm not even going with anyone. I just figured I walk with you guys to be nice, oh hey Luna. You look nice."

"Thanks Haylee," She beamed." You look very pretty."

"Thank you, Luna," I turned and looked at my brother." See Harry, Luna says I look nice. Let's go, I'm starving."

"That's not a surprise." Harry muttered. I smacked him on the back side of the head.

"Ow."

We started down the corridor, but something caught my eye.

"Oh damn," I shouted." I forgot something in my room. Go ahead guys; I'll meet you at the party."

"All right." They walked off.

I waited until they were out of sight before I went back to this secretive hid-outish corner in the side of the wall.

"Is there a certain reason why you're hiding?" I asked standing in front of the threshold." You're not going all Emo on me are you?"

"No," Draco said." Why would you think that?"

"Oh, I don't know. You're sitting in here alone staring at the wall. You tell me."

"I wasn't staring at the wall. I was thinking." He stated.

"Yeah, OK."

"Did you get my letter? Bailey was supposed to give it to you." He asked.

"Uh huh." I nodded.

"And?"

"Hate to break it to you but-," The look on his face was hilarious." It looks like you're going to have to spend Christmas break alone in the castle with me." I laughed.

"Don't do that," He exclaimed." I thought you were going to say you weren't going to stay."

"You poor baby. How are you ever going to survive?" I wrapped my arms around his neck and began to fake cry." But Hermione thought it was the cutest thing. I'll have to see you later; I have a lame ass party to go to."

"Where's your date?" He asked.

"At the party waiting for me." I answered nonchalantly.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah," I sighed." Tall, blond, muscular."

"I could totally take him on." Draco said.

"I don't know," I replied." One of his best friends taught him how to kick ass."

"Doesn't sound so tough." He crossed his arms.

I laughed and kissed him goodbye before I headed to the party that was going to be incredibly dull, but I arrived in the nick-of-time. Soft music was floating throughout the room and many people were serving small bites of nasty food. One of them was Neville.

"Hey Neville." I said.

"Oh, hi," He blushed." You look nice."

Ha, take that Harry!

"Thanks, Neville," I said." Did you happen to see my brother or Hermione?"

"Yeah, as a matter of fact. They went that way." He pointed.

"Thanks." I went in the direction of which he pointed, and sure enough I found them both hiding behind a curtain.

"What are you doing back here?" I asked." What happened to you Hermione?"

"I left Cormac under the mistletoe." She fixed her hair.

"Gross," I said." Oh no, he's coming." She snuck out just before McLaggen came up to Harry and me.

"Where'd Hermione go?" He asked.

Away from you

"She went to powder her nose." Harry covered up for her.

"Oh, well in that case, Haylee would you like to dance?" He asked with a wolfish grin on his face.

"With you?" He nodded." When hell freezes over." I walked off.

He is such an ass

Once I was back inside I saw everyone having a good time. Good thing too, even times like these need a few fun moments. However, the fun atmosphere was broken when Filtch brought a certain someone in. Everyone shut up and stared.

"Sorry to intrude," Filtch apologized." I found this one sneaking around the seventh floor corridors, and he claims he was invited to this party."

"All right I wasn't invited," Draco growled." I was trying to gate crash. Happy?" He yanked his arm out of Filtch's grasp.

"I'll escort Mr. Malfoy out Filtch," Snape took him back into the hallway.

"Don't be too hard on him Severus; it is Christmas," Slughorn chuckled." OK everyone back to the party."

I looked throughout the room to try and find Harry. I couldn't. That could only mean one thing.

Shit

THIRD PERSON

Snape took Draco to an abandoned corridor and held him up against the wall.

"You can not afford to make mistakes Draco," He told him." I made an Unbreakable Vow with your mother to protect you."

"That's your problem not mine." Draco hissed.

"Draco, let me help you-"

"I don't need your help, and even if I wanted it, it's not me I'm worried about." He told his Godfather.

"I understand your pain Draco, I do. I know you want to protect her but-"

"But nothing!" He interrupted." I can't let anything happen to her. I'd rather die!"

"Draco calm down," Snape said." Don't let this get out of control. You've been going well all year."

"What? This?" Draco asked." It's like a god-damned curse. I don't understand why it had to be me."

"It's as much of a curse as a gift Draco. I told you that before. Countless times." Snape said.

"I don't care. I'm done!" Draco walked away leaving Snape by himself. Not far away, Harry was standing thinking about what he had just heard. Who was she? Why did he want to help her? What curse of gift was Snape talking about?

I bet Harry is really confused and my best bet is that some of you are too, but don't worry, it will all make sense in, I think three chapters.
