With the Snakes

Chapter 10

Of Lemon Drops and Sulking Draco

I'm back! I know, shock horror, don't run to get the pitchforks just yet! I am soooooooooo sorry for being gone for so long! I've just been so busy! But, better late than never right? I hope this is good enough to tide you over till I get my butt in gear and get writing properly again.

As per usual, I still don't own Harry Potter, despite all efforts on my part. Suing me will result in a few cardboard boxes and some piles of paper, so I advise you not to bother.

Anyway, enough blabbling on my part! Enjoy!

It took Mya a full week to regain her memory. She hadn't lost any of her scholarly traits though. She flat out refused Dumbledore's offer to take a week or two of classes. I don't think I ever been quite as amused at someone else's shock before. I expected it of her. After all, I have known her since we were in nappies. I grew up with her. The others, Pansy, Blaise and Draco, well, that's an entirely different story altogether.

Dumbledore and Snape came to talk to us on the Tuesday after the accident, a week ago, at breakfast. I had managed to coerce (I recall she referred to it as "blackmail") her into sitting with us for breakfast. She was all for sitting with the Gryffindors! Gryffindors, who would have eaten her for breakfast! Anyway, Dumbledore offered her the rest of the week off, and I'm sure her heart skipped a beat at the horror of his suggestion. I believe her exact words were, and I quote; "Absolutely not!" and then "emm… sorry. But no thank you, Professor?"

Of course I collapsed, right there on the table, into fits of giggles, it was just so damm typical of Hermione! But Draco and Blaise looked at her as if she had just stood up and declared that she was freeing all Hogwarts' house elves! And Pansy, Merlin, the poor girl looked as if she was about to faint!

But that was that, Hermione had spoken, she was going to classes for the whole week, and that was that. Madam Pomfrey out right refused to let her be up at all hours of the night, so that was Astronomy on Tuesday night out the window, and she was banned from doing anything too 'physical' in Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Blaise, typically, re-interpreted 'physical' as no sex! Honestly, that boy is ruled by his libido! Well, eventually, after a full week of Mya forgetting everything, including, at one point, her own name, we were all well and truly ready to have the normal Mya back. Of course we, in our boundless wisdom, forgot that the worst was still to come…

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DISOWNED? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!"

"Miss Granger, please calm down."

"MY NAME ISN'T GRANGER! YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN? I'VE JUST BEEN DISOWNED!"

"Technically, you were disowned last week."

"SHUT THE HELL UP DRACO! Oh Merlin. Deep breaths Mya come on girl, deep breaths. Just breathe."

"You think she's gone mad Harry?"

"Quite possibly Pansy… quite possibly."

"I heard that Harry!"

"Look, Hermione, you need to go discuss this with Snape and the headmaster. They can sort the whole thing out for you. Well, help you sort it out at least." Draco was trying to convince her to go and listen to Dumbledore. It wasn't working.

"Mya, you will go and see Dumbledore, or I will drag you there myself." I said. Because the direct approach never fails. Yeah, of course.

"NO! NO! NO!" I swear that girl, as much as I love her, is trying to give us all ear damage and hearing problems.

So, Draco, Blaise and I did the only thing left to do.

TICKLED HER! We tickled her all the way into submission, until she was rolling on the floor, screaming (see, ear damage!). And then we picked her up and carried her to the Headmaster's office, and up the stairs, and deposited her into a seat. Needless to say she was less than amused!

Our dear Headmaster, on the other hand, was very much amused!

I never thought I'd say this, but the old man has pretty good taste in muggle sweets. I've never heard of these "Lemon Drop" things, but I must admit they are pretty good. They make your mouth go all tingly.

Dumbledore sent us boys out with our pockets full, saying that he needed a talk with Hermione, and as much as he appreciated our efforts, we were causing a rather large distraction.

At which Draco got all offended, and declared that he wasn't fat. Suffice to say that Blaise and I could barely drag him out of there for laughing so much.

It took us about twenty minutes to stop laughing for long enough to explain that Dumbledore hadn't meant that we were large, and that he had meant that the distraction we were causing was large! It took Draco twenty minutes to believe us! And a further twenty minutes to stop sulking because we had laughed at him! What a way to waste a whole hour!

By then, lunch and our spare were over, so we had to head out to the greenhouses for Herbology. Professor Sprout wasn't happy with our "lack of concentration", so now we've landed ourselves a detention tomorrow night. I expect Mya will be less than amused again!

We met her just as she was leaving Dumbledore's office, looking a damm sight happier, and less like she was going to kill us in the most painful way possible!

Apparently the Headmaster is getting her lawyer in to 'discuss' her financial situation, and her name change. Exiting stuff!

Oh, did I mention how hot Pansy's been looking! I think I'm turning bi! Oh so confused!

Love ya!

Harry!

xxxxxxx smooches xxxxxxx

So, what did you think? I realise that Harry is acting exeptionaly gay at the moment, and I know it's a little insane for an eleven year old to behave like this, but its fanfiction people! I call it creative licsence! Anyway! Tell me what you thought! Chocolate cake and huggles to all!

till next time!

Pixie!
