A New Revelation
Part 2
When the three of them reached
Snape's dungeon the class had already started. They burst in and Snape smiled
cruelly and said, "So…Potter, at it again I see, skipping class. Tut, tut, tut.
And I see your accomplices in crime are with you, Weasly, Miss Granger. 20
points from Gryffindor!!"
But
Professor…!" started Hermione but Ron grabbed her forcefully and pushed her
down into a chair.
Snape turned
his attention back to the Slytherins who were snickering and said, "Now let's
continue making our Poly-Juice Potion. I know we made this before the holidays
but take this opportunity to test your skills. Think of this as a test, so you
may NOT use your notes. Its just you, your partner, your cauldron and your
ingredients."
Harry slouched
into his seat and sighed. What a day, failed one test and lost 20 points from
his house; not the best way to start a day! He looked over at Ginny, who even
though was a 4 year and one year younger was in the new AP classes, she was
cutting up the bit of shredded boomslang skin that they needed. It would be
another month before they could try it but they had to get started somewhere.
"So where
were you?" she asked.
"Sorry
Ginny," replied Harry, "we kinda ran into Hagrid, did you get in trouble
because I wasn't here to be your partner?"
"No, but
thanks for asking!"
They went
back to cutting up ingredients and after a few minutes Harry said,
"Oh Gin,"
"Yeah?" Ginny
looked over at him anxiously, maybe finally he would ask her out!
"What should
I get Hermione for her birthday? It's tomorrow and I have no idea what girls
like!"
Ginny's face
fell faster than a 10-ton weight, "Oh! Um well, why don't you get her some
jewelry I know she loves it. I saw this really pretty silver necklace in a shop
down at Hogsmeade the other day that you could get her."
"Really?"
asked Harry, "well then, would you show it to me after school today, we could
get the necklace and then go get some butterbeer."
Ginny's face
jumped with anticipation, "you mean, you and me, together? Going out to get
butterbeer? like a date?"
"Well um sure
if you want to think of it like that… I mean I love to go out with my friends."
"Friends…oh
yeah…sure." Ginny went back to stirring in the knotgrass.
Harry sat
there and thought about what Ginny had just said, "…like a date?" was that what
he wanted it to be? He had never thought about how he felt about Ginny. She
made him feel special, excited and alive. But Hermione, she made him feel
quivery, like jello, a muggle food that Dudley liked a lot. She also made him
feel like he was a normal person, not the great Harry Potter. Ginny did that
too though. I never knew that Ginny liked me. Oh my gosh I have been so mean
to her lately! Just ignoring her and hanging on Hermione like a life preserver.
He couldn't believe himself. Here he was a normal, well kind of normal guy,
fighting with himself! Oh great! Now I'm going insane! But then his thoughts went back to Ginny,
with her small, delicate, and comforting form. Her green eyes and red hair that
made everything work for her…But what about Hermione? Who did he really love?
And how was he going to choose?
