Chapter 21- Visiting with the Heads

Hermione walked at a quick pace, making it hard for Harry to keep up with her. Finally, a corner from the Head rooms, Harry snatched her arm and turned Hermione to face him.

"Hermione," said Harry catching his breath. "I know you're mad, but you've got to relax. We are defiantly talking to Ron about this and he will tell us."

"I know Harry, I know. I shouldn't get so worked up, its just that, well Synthia is so beautiful and I'm so…….well…..not. I can see why Ron would choose her over me," said Hermione looking down at the marble floor.

Harry grabbed Hermione by the shoulders, forcing her to look dead into his eyes.

"Hermione," he said. "Ron would be the luckiest man in the world if he dated you. He loves you. Trust me, I know. Six years is more than enough time. Ron, he going through some things and we've gotta help him out. Don't think that Synthia is prettier than you, because you Hermione are beautiful because of what you have on the inside, not what's on your appearance."

Hermione's eyes built up into tears as she broke into a smile.

"Quit crying, 'Mione. Surely you don't want Susan to see you like this," said Harry as Hermione wiped her tears.

"No, I think Susan would have a fit," Hermione responded. Feeling better, both turned the corner to the entrance of the Head's dorm. It was a window that had a curtain over it.

"Who are we seeking today?" asked the curtain.

"Susan Bones, Head Girl," said Hermione. The curtains jumped open to reveal a very large, ugly face of a sort of chubby man with a thick mustache.

"Why, Ms. Hermione Granger! Tell me you are staying officially. Come in, Come in," said the curtain opening the entrance and pushing Hermione and Harry through.

Inside there was a blazing fire in which Justin Flinch-Fletchey sat in front of. The room reminded Harry of his common room, with some defiant changes. There was a statue of a herb in the center and a water fountain of a snake. One side had a bookshelf while the other had a book called "Mischief in the making". There was a yellow border with badgers on one side and a green border with snakes on the other. It didn't take a genius to know that Head Boy was a Slytherin. In the center of the room behind the couch was where the entertainment was. Susan Bones, kind, loving, free-spirited, was arguing with playboy Blaise Zambini. It was Hermione and Ron all over again. Hermoine leaned against the wall, while Harry took the seat in front of Justin.

"What are they arguing about?" Harry asked grinning.

"Merlin knows. Something about Blaise's being too over protective. Blaise said she needed. I'm surprised he hasn't been slapped yet," said Justin laughing. On cue Blaise, who is known for his sarcasm and small temper, was smacked right across the head sending Harry and Justin to the in laughter. Susan turned to face them, not happy.

Susan Bones was almost average sized for a seventeen year old. She had long golden hair that reached well into her back. Her eyes were caramel brown and she had a nice figure. Susan was a kind of girl who wouldn't spend hours over boys like Hermione, but would exactly transfer that time into studying. In some ways she was a tomboy, but she still earned the respect she deserved. Harry knew that the girl was small, but she was hot headed and had the courage of any Gryffindor, more than some of them.

Blaise, Harry knew rather little about. He knew he was a Slytherin Chaser and was a friend of Malfoy. He'd heard about his reputation with the ladies (which Harry finds himself envying from time to time), but other than that he knew nothing. Blaise himself was handsome. He was tall, dark brown hair, cold, yet mysterious blue eyes. You could tell he worked out through the tight shirts he wore and you knew it was more than developing. Blaise stroked his cheek for a second or two than sat down on the couch.

"I personally don't care, Susan," he said. "I can do whatever I please, whether that means protecting you or annoying you and I'll do it in front of whoever I want to."

"I bet you wouldn't do it in front of anyone other than Daphne," snapped Susan glaring at the Slytherin.

"She got you there, B," said the captivating Daphne Greengrass. Daphne was a tall blond girl with sparkling sea green eyes. Beauty wise she knocked Susan out the park, Harry had a right to guess that Daphne might have a relationship with Blaise. He shot Daphne an ugly gesture.

"Hermione! Harry! It's so nice to see you both," said Susan turning her attention off Blaise. "Hermione tell me that you're staying," with urged tone at the end. Blaise threw his head back and laughed.

"Stop it, Suzie Q! It'd be boring without you and Weasley would come up here and try something if I bothered Ms. Granger, which I would. And you're more fun anyway. Sorry Hermione," said Blaise.

"You two make such a marvelous couple," Harry told Blaise and Susan. Blaise gave Harry an ugly gesture and Susan rolled her eyes. Hermione and Susan went into a conversation about how Head Girl job, while Daphne and Blaise chatted privately and Harry and Justin played a complementary game of chess.

It was only when Harry glanced at the grandfather clock that had a snake battling a badger did Harry realized the time.

"Hermione we've got to get going look at the time," said Harry pointing to the clock. Hermione looked up and frowned.

"You two really like to show the……………..differences of your houses," said Hermione.

"Keeps us sane, as Blaise explains it," said Daphne. Harry and Justin joined her in laughter as Hermione and Harry bid their good-byes and left the dorm.

Outside it was cool and windy as Harry and Hermione walked off Hogwarts grounds. There was a loud howl and Harry looked to the sky. It's not a full moon. I wonder who that is. He kept walking until he realized Hermione was not behind him. Instead she was running into the forest. No, please no. Not the forest 'Mione.

Harry ran after Hermione. He was very surprised at how fast she was for she was halfway through the forest in less than three minutes. The branches and tree whacked him on his way through as he made a mental note to kill Hermione after this. When he found her she was flat on her back face as white as American paper for a red-eyed vampire was hanging over her. Harry froze unsure of what to do. Then suddenly, a dark figure with long red hair and cold blue eyes came and threw the vampire off of Hermoine. He too was a vampire and he looked much more powerful. He threw the other vampire until it seased to move. The red-haired vampire reached for Hermione and brought her back to her feet.

"T-thank y-you," she said. As Harry looked more closely at the vampire he felt as though he knew him. Through his cold feature he could see a loving person, who was tall and lanky and many freckles. He could see his laughter and charm and his wonderful ability at a certain board.

"Ron?"

Dun, dun, DUNNNNN!lol. No, the girl that Dean was referring to was not Lavender. Lavender has blond hair and blue eyes that can sometimes look a bit purple. The girl he was referring to was Synthia VanDevileger, Ron's "colleague". Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, we will be hearing from Head Boy and Head Girl in the near future. Hope you enjoyed the suspense and do you think that Harry guessed right? Keep reading and reviews as always.

Much Love,
