Checking It Out

He had no choice but to look at her.

"Um.... I wanted to talk to you about last night"

"What about it? It was a mistake. A in the moment time of thing"

"Okay, so it meant nothing right?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, good, " Hermione said..

She walked over to her seat.

Jeez, a chase like that just for him to say it was a mistake? Maybe he didn't hear my in the hall.... Or maybe he did....

"Alright class, turn your books to page 188." Professor McGonagall said entering the classroom, interrupting Hermione's thoughts..

Chapter 10: Finish Your Sentence

"Hermione!!" Someone yelled.

Hermione turned around.

Cody ran up to her.

It was a Hogsmeade trip day, and Hermione was walking down the hall to go to her common room to get ready.

"Guess what!!" He said excitedly.

"I can have.. well.. Hermione.."

"Yes, Cody?"

"Would you give me permission to go to Hogsmeade?" He asked.

"What?" Hermione asked. "1st years aren't allowed to-"

"After talking to Professor Dumbledore, He gave me a permission slip. He said if I could find a responsible person to stay with,he'd let me."

"Of course, Cody."

Cody pulled out the slip and something to write with and handed it to her.

Hermione signed her name.

Cody smiled and ran to Professor Dumbledore.

Hermione laughed and headed to her common room.

It was a chilly October day. The 2nd of October.

Hermione put on a cloak over jean bellbottoms that fit to her, and a red close fitting long-sleeved shirt. A little pink lipgloss and she left the Common Room.

She was walking down the stairs when someone brushed passed her..

"Watch it Malfoy." Hermione said,

"Back off, Granger."

"What's wrong with you?" She asked.

"What?" He stopped and looked at her.

"You're not mean or insulting. You're just moody. What is wrong with you?" She asked again.

"There's nothing wrong. Besides, if there was, there's nothing that a mudblood like you could understand."

They glared at each other.

Then Malfoy kept going down the stairs.

Hermione followed a little later..

When she got to the Entrance Hall, she waited for Cody.

A few minutes later, he came hopping down the stairs.

"Yes!!" He said.

Hermione laughed.

He took her hand and started pulling her outside.

They took a carriage to Hogsmeade, where Hermione told Cody everything they had there. He asked her a few questions and she answered. It was like, they were brother and sister.

When they arrived, they both got off the carriage and Hermione asked Cody where to first..

"There's so much!! Can we just walk around?"

Hermione nodded. It would give them time to talk.

They began passing stores, when Cody decided to speak.

"Hermione?"

"Yes, Cody?"

"Um.. Can we go somewhere where we can sit."

"Sure.."

They decided to go to a new place -Cackle-O- to sit and eat.

"May we have 2 Butterbeers?"

"And Treacle Fudge!!" Cody said.

"No problem miss." The waiter said and walked away.

"Okay.. Hermione"

Hermione looked at him.

"As you know, I've been trying to tell you.. but I keep getting interrupted. So, I'm going to tell you now.

It may not seem important, or maybe weird. But I just want to tell you.. So maybe you can have a different view of-"

"Hermione?"

Hermione looked.

Harry and Ron.

"Hello Harry, Hello Ron"

"Hermione we've been looking all over for you." Ron said.

"Yeah.... Hi Cody."

Cody nodded.

"You guys, can we maybe talk another time? We'll meet you in Zonko's." Hermione said.

"Sure." Harry said.

Harry and Ron went to the other side of Cackle-O's to sit down.

"Sorry, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

Cody laughed.

"Well-"

"Cody Malfoy!!"

Cody gave an annoyed look.

"What??" He shouted.

Draco Malfoy picked this moment to walk up to them.

"What the-.... What do you think you're doing here??"

The waiter came by with the drinks and food.

"Having Butterbeers and fudge" Cody responded.

"Don't get smart with me."

"Well what do you want?"

"You can get kicked out of sch-"

"I have a permission."

"Excuse me?"

"I have permission" Cody said.

"Granger, are you trying to get us in trouble?"

"Leave Hermione alone. She was part of my permission."

"If I find out.."

"Okay.. I'm sick of this!" Hermione shouted.

Both looked at her.

"Cody has permission to be here, Malfoy. Why don't you go play with your Slytherin friends and leave us alone. We didn't come in here to be bothered by you." Hermione said.

"Mudblood."

Cody looked at him.

Hermione looked away.

Harry and Ron had appeared.

"Are you bothering them, Malfoy?"

"What are you going to do about it Weasley."

"Lets go outside and see."

Malfoy walked out with Harry and Ron behind.

"Hermione?" Cody said.

She looked at him.

"Don't cry."

'"He's getting me really frustrated. I can't stand it."

"It's okay. Let me tell you what I wanted to tell you."

"Yes, Cody?"

"Well.. Draco talks to me about school and how everything is in Hogwarts. It was really weird.. He started to talk about a girl half the time.. It was always 'she's so beautiful.. she's really smart.. her personality sparkles through her eyes.. I wish I could really talk to her.' The last one got me to question him.. Talk to her? You don't talk to her. First he said, she scared him. How could a girl, you thought so nice, scare you? I asked him.. 'because she hates me'.. was all he said. 'With her wavy brown hair, her smile, and how she's not afraid to speak to someone, she's nice.. But she's a Gryffindor, and father forbids muggleborns. I speak to her, but nothing ever comes out good. Her name..Her name is Hermione." Cody finished.

A/N- aww, so cute. 1,034 words. 5 pages. Yay!
