A/N: K you guys probably all hate me now for such the late update and I deeply apologize for that. I have been working on the whole layout for this story like approximately how many chapters, what the chapters consist of, and the songs used. There will most likely not be a sequel depends on how I end it really. I plan on it being about 60-70 chapters so the story will most likely end during May, June or July. So we have a few months left together ;) lol that's kind of creepy. Thank you for sticking with this story since its taking me like forever, Enjoy!
Twisted Love
Chapter Eleven
Hogsmeade
With each step Hermione took to the Great Hall it made her aggravated mood even more unpleasant.
'Merlin Hermione, why did you have to get yourself into this? You're the brightest witch of your age it should've been simple to come up with an excuse. Of course it was Smith that you had to go with, of all prats why did you get guilty oh bullocks." Hermione could have gone on but a loud cough broke her line of thought.
"Wow Hermione you look hot," Zacharias said checking her out from head to toe.
Hermione, obviously uncomfortable replied with "Um thanks."
"Shall we be off then?" Zacharias said grabbing her hand.
"Well I haven't had breakfast yet," Hermione quickly said.
"Oh don't worry love, I haven't either we are going to Madam Puddifoot's first to eat," he said squeezing her hand a bit too hard for her liking.
"Of course he takes me to a shit hole," Hermione thought clearly unimpressed as she rolled her eyes.
As they journeyed on to Hogsmeade, Zacharias was going on and on about himself while Hermione zoned out and thought about a certain blonde haired boy.
"Ah here we are," he exhaled.
"Oh we are here already I didn't even see it here," Hermione said, raising her eyebrows.
"Well, Hufflepuff's are particularly good finders," Zacharias said opening the door, letting himself in and allowing it to slam in Hermione's face.
Visibly annoyed, Hermione opened the door; teeth clenched and followed Zacharias to a table.
"I wondered what was taking you so long love, sit down don't just stand there," he said furrowing his eyebrows and shaking his head.
Gritting her teeth once more Hermione sat down and picked up a menu scanning it for her favourite tea.
"What can I get for you dears?" Madam Puddifoot said strolling over to their table.
"May I get an herbal tea please?" Hermione asked politely.
"Mione you don't want that, tea is disgusting. Only thick heads like tea, two coffees please," Zacharias said obnoxiously handing Madam Puddifoot both of their menus and shooing her away.
"Smith-" Hermione started.
"No, love let me speak, I have had feelings for you since fifth year, and I had been trying to get up the courage to ask if I could take you on a date. And what makes our love even better is that you said yes," he sighed.
"Smith no-"
"Please love let me speak," he shushed. "Hufflepuff's are particularly good finders and I have found the love of my life and that is you."
"Smith," she whisper shouted in disbelief.
"Shh, don't speak," he said closing his eyes and leaning over the table in desire to put his lips on hers.
Hermione just looked at him utterly confused over the events that just occurred. She realized what he was planning to do and utterly panicked. "Aguamenti!" After blasting water into his face she ran out of Madam Puddifoot's and onto the street greeting none other than five prejudiced Slytherins.
"Oh it's the little mudblood what are you doing here you worthless piece of scum?" Pansy sneered.
"Granger! What the sodding hell was that for?" an enraged Zacharias bellowed coming out of the tea shop dripping wet.
Hermione groaned as the Slytherins smirked at her, excited to see her reaction. Henceforth, Hermione sighed turned towards him muttered Petrificus Totalus grinned at the frozen body she produced, and turned towards the Slytherins once more.
She acknowledged them with a nod of her head and asked "Is there something you needed Parkinson?"
"I must say Granger; freezing Smith was very Slytherin of you is there a reason for your action?" Theo smirked.
"And how is that any of your concern?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"Well you will know why that is our concern after a six letter curse is used," Daphne evilly smiled.
"Yes because crucio is necessary when it comes to my personal life. You are a bit oblivious to the fact that you would be cursing Head Girl in the presence of Head Boy Greengrass. I'm not looking for any trouble, though you blokes must be seeing as you are all Slytherins. So if you must know and I don't see why you would, Smith guilted me into going onto a date with him at Madam Puddifoot's he was being a prat so I sprayed water in his face, ran out here petrified him and here we are. Now when I think about it, the events I revealed that happened are none of your concern so threatening me with the cruciatus curse," her eyes narrowed "is absolutely unnecessary so before I give you all detentions leave me as I be and go back to your regular activities." On that note she turned on her heal, unfroze Zacharias and left to meet Ginny.
"That Granger, she really is something," chuckled Blaise starting to walk away with Theo, Pansy, and Daphne.
"Yeah she really is," Draco said looking back at her fading figure gaining even more respect for the spunky Gryffindor.
"Are you coming Drake?" Pansy asked stopping.
"Yeah, let's go to Zonko's," he said walking back to his mates and slinging an arm around Pansy's shoulder.
Hey Ginny," smiled Hermione as she walked in to greet the youngest Weasley in the extremely familiar candy store.
"Hey 'Mione, how was your date?" Ginny said smiling as her mate greeted her.
"Well it started with him calling me hot and ended with me using the Aguamenti charm and Petrificus Totalus on him and greeting Slytherins as I ran out of Madam Puddifoot's," Hermione shrugged.
Ginny thought about it for a moment, then burst into vivacious laughter. As loud as her giggles were, it was far from disrupting the loud atmosphere in Honeydukes.
"Seriously? That really happened? Merlin Hermione, I can't breathe." Ginny laughed. "Ron will be pleased."
Hermione chuckled confusedly and said "What do you mean?"
"Oh please don't act oblivious; Ron has fancied you since second year." Ginny said bringing her candy up to the counter to check out with Hermione following her.
"You have got to be joking," Hermione said giving Ginny a pointed look.
"Thank you," Ginny said to the clerk. "I am telling you 'Mione he has fancied you for five sodding years and you have never noticed? Blimey you are as dense as he is."
"I just never realized…" Hermione said putting her hand over her mouth in shock. "After all these years?"
"Always," Ginny smirked. "That's why he was so upset when he found out Malfoy was Head Boy because he wanted to be alone with you."
"Bloody hell this is a lot to process," the brunette said shaking her head.
"Of course it is 'Mione, Ron has the emotional range of a teaspoon," Ginny laughed.
Hermione agreed and the pair laughed and laughed as they made their way back to the castle.
