Hey everyone!!! Sorry it took so long. School has started. Anyways, on with
the story!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, back in the Gryffindor common room, Hermione was pacing back and forth.
"It was nine when I sent Ginny to see Draco. She said she would return in half an hour." Hermione began to pace more. "Maybe she couldn't find him? No, that can't be true. Merlin, she takes forever! Love shouldn't have to be so slow; it should be faster than light. That's why fast-winged doves pull Love's chariot, and Cupid has wings."
Hermione groaned in frustration and flew back on the sofa.
"It's noon, and she's been away for three hours!"
The common room then opened and Ginny and Parvati appeared.
"Wait here, Parvati," Ginny ordered. Parvati huffed and didn't even bother to wait: she just left."
Hermione looked at Ginny with concern.
"Why do you look so sad? If you bring bad news, at least try to say it with a good face. If the news is good, you've ruined my day by making it seem bad."
Ginny yawned and sat on the chair next to the sofa. She looked at Hermione.
"Give me some time, I'm tired. My bones hurt because of the journey."
"I'll trade bones with you if you give me the news. Now please, tell me!"
"Merlin, can't you wait a minute? Don't you see that I'm out of breath?" whined Ginny.
"How can you be out of breath if you have breath enough to tell me you're out of breath?!" groaned Hermione in frustration as she stood up from the couch. "You're making excuses to delay the news. I'm sure that the news is much shorter than the time you're taking up. Is the news good or bad? Tell at least that."
Ginny chuckled.
"Well, you can't choose the right man. Draco! Even though he's the cutest guy around, still his legs are better than anybody's. Even though his body's nothing to write home about, it's the best I've seen. He is not a perfect gentleman, he's just gentle as a lamb. So be a good girl. By the way, did you eat something?"
"No, I didn't. What did he say about marriage? What did my love talk about?"
"He talks like a kind, courteous, virtuous, gentleman.," Ginny then looked around. "Where's McGonagall?"
"McGonagall has a class, where else would she be? What kind of a question is that! 'He talks like a gentleman.Where is McGonagall?'"
Ginny looked at her in mild shock
"Merlin! Are you so angry? Come off it. From now on, deliver your messages yourself."
Ginny stood up and headed for the dormitories. Hermione was getting exasperated. "Oh would you stop arguing. What did Draco say?!"
Ginny stopped and turned to look at Hermione.
"Do you have a pass to get out of class today?" Ginny asked. Hermione nodded
"Yes."
"Then get on over to Professor Flitwick's room. There's a husband there who wants to make you his wife."
Hermione eyes looked like they were going to pop out of her head. A second later, she jumped up and screamed with happiness.
