Harry, Hermione and Ron sat in their little triangle at the Gryffindor house table. Ron was stuffing his face with garlic mashed potatoes.
"Ronald that's disgusting at least wipe your face" Hermione quipped trying not to look at the redhead 16 year old. He was truly an interesting sight. He had mashed potatoes spread all over his face.
"So why did Dumbledore call you two to his office?" Hermione asks before putting another forkful of shepherds pie into her mouth.
"Oh he wanted to congratulate us for being the best students he has had" Ron said with a smile. Hermione rolls her eyes and continues eating.
"No he just wanted us to retake some test that both of us missed due to the events of 5th year" Harry explains. What Harry meant by 'the events of 5th year' was the battle in the hall of prophecies. Harry's God-Father Sirus Black had almost died, but he didn't and his name had been cleared. That's where Harry was living now during the summer.
"What test?" Hermione asks.
"All the OWLS" Ron says with disgust. Hermione secretly smiles to herself. They would have to settle their bet later. Ron and Hermione had bet on the outcome of them taking their owls. Ron said Dumbledore would forget, Hermione had said that he wouldn't forget and the two boys would have to do the tests. She was right. 20 galleons to Hermione.
The Golden Trio sat in silence for a bit before Harry spoke up.
"Its funny, normally by this time Malfoy would have started to be a complete prat again"
Hermione smiled at Harry's observation and gave a quick glance over to the Slytherian table where the blonde haired boy sat.
"Ya it really funny, he probably is just busy with his friends" Hermione says. She knew exactly why Malfoy asnt bothering them but of course she wasn't about to tell her two boy best friends that.
"As if the ferret has any friends, he has death eaters in training that's all" Ron scoffs meanly. The bushy haired Gryffindor sends her red-headed friend a look of disapproval.
"Oh shush I am sure that he has friends, and IF he has death eaters in training it doesn't concern you" Hermione says.
"Since when did you decide to stick up for the ferret 'Mione?" Ron asks his mouth once again stuffed full of one thing or another.
"Since never but still it isn't fair that you're making assumptions about him when you don't even know his middle name" Hermione explains but a second after she finishes Ron says.
"Lucius his middle name is Lucius, Now can I continue to make educated assumptions"
"No that's not even an excuse Ronald! Besides how do you know his middle name?"
"Remember in first year when he would introduce himself as Draconius Lucius Malfoy the sole heir to the first house of Malfoy" Harry reminds with a bored expression. Hermione furrows her brow and thinks for a moment. She sighs.
"Guys you know what I mean. Ok here if Malfoy starts bothering us then you can bother him back and say anything you want. However just wait till he starts bothering us to be mean ok?"
"Fine" both boys say rather nonchalantly.
The remnants of the feast dispeer and are replaced by many different types of deserts. Ron once again does not cease to impress with his never ending stomach. Hermione is slightly disgusted at the fact that the red-head can eat so much food in under an hour. At the end of the feast all the students flocked to their appropriate tower, dungeon whatever it may it be. Hermione, Ron and Harry were in Gryffindor tower so they went there.
"Flrog-Trompet" Hermione says to the fat lady who smiled and opened the door for the mass of students gathered at the portrait hole. The group split up, Hermione left for the girls dormitories and naturally both boys went to the boys dormitories.
"Hermione I saved you the bed by the window since I know you prefer that" her friend Parvati Patil said gesturing to the red blanketed bed by the window.
"Thank you" Hermione said to the indian girl who was already in bed and in her nightgown. Hermione began to unbutton her robes and change just a Ginny walked in the room, red hair breezing behind her.
"I could assume that your 'date' with Michal corner went well" Hermione ceased slipping her nightgown over her head and sending a quick smile to Ginny. Ginny giggled and hopped onto her bed. That giggle was definitely a yes.
"He kissed me! I mean of course it wasn't my first kiss but still it was so magical! Hermione why haven't you had a boyfriend yet?" Ginny explained. All the girls in the room giggled and started whispering the name Ron Weasly.
"Ok ok ok! No Ron is not my boyfriend. I have never even once taken interest in him as anything more than just a friend" Hermione explains to all her dorm mates who look at her suspiciously.
"So what if you don't like Ron… what about Victor Krum he literally asked you to be his girlfriend and you said No! WHY!" Ginny asks very forcefully. Hermione laughs at her friend's antics.
"I didn't feel like doing long distance" Hermione answers very matter of factly.
"OK well at least name one cute boy in the school… you don't have to like them but just one cute guy… come one give old Ginny the satisfaction of knowing your answer" Ginny said in a goofy tone. Hermione thought for a moment, a long monet might I add. But however long that moment was Hermione had all six girls in the dormitory waiting very impatiently.
"Ok… but since you want my answer so bad you have to work for it… start guessing things and I'll either say yes or no" Hermione said, playing with them a bit.
"Does he have blonde hair" Lavender asks
"No"
"Red hair" Parvati quizzes
"Absolutely not"
"Is he in Gryffindor"
"Maybe"
"Hey you said you would say yes or no! No maybes allowed" Ginny counters, Hermione giggles.
The questioning lasts way into the night and all 7 girls fall asleep before anyone figures out what his name is.
Hello my freinds. Thank you to that one guest who reviewed (you know who you are). I'm trying to write all these chapters in advance, because I probably will not be writing much over spring break.
Swedish fish to all those people who followed reviewed. And if you don't like Swedish fish you get popcorn instead.
