J - Junk

Book of Secrets

The first time Hermione entered Harry and Ron's dormitory, they hadn't been there. It had been a dare from Lavender and Parvati in their second year. She hadn't been pleased about it, but she had done it anyway to save face.

And it had been the most revolting thing she had ever seen. There was junk everywhere. If there was somewhere they could put something, then they had. She didn't really know who slept in what bed, but she recognised Ron's straight away. Not by his belongings – though after searching, that was rather obvious too – but by the smell.

It was sweet, it was familiar and it gave her butterflies when she realised she ctually liked the smell. It was all Ron – gross, but still Ron.

His trunk lay open at the end of his bed and she couldn't resist taking a look. It was filled with half open boxes of Bertie Botts Beans, have eaten Chocolate Frogs, unwashed socks and the latest copy of Which Broomstick? But the thing that caught her attention was one of Professor Lockhart's books.

Ron had doodled around his face with a quill and written 'bloody git' across it.

Why was he so against Professor Lockhart?

She opened the book to the first page and saw that he had drawn all over that too.

"'What does she see in him?'" she read out loud. What does who see in him?

She then realised that it must have been Ron and Harry's form of communication in Lockhart's lessons, because underneath was 'who?' written in Harry's even messier scrawl.

Hermione wanted to know who this person was, but footsteps coming her way stopped her. She snapped the book shut, threw it back into his trunk and hurried back to her own dormitory just before Harry and Ron arrived.

She collapsed onto the bed, panting, and in a fit of giggles.

"What did you find?" Lavender asked.

"Disgusting things," Hermione told her.

Lavender and Parvati giggled too. Hermione left out the part about the book. She thought she knew who Ron was talking about and it had sounded almost as if he was... jealous.

Thanks again for all your amazing reviews. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed this one!
