DUDLEY IN HOGWARTS

CHAPTER 3 – A Chapter Of Romance For Ron

Hogwarts Express was already in Hogwarts. And then a voice called out: "Students!! Firs' years, in here!! An' muggle-students please proceed ter the boat right nex' ter 'tis boat. While the other old students, yer wait fer the boat ter fetch yer here!" Hagrid yelled.

After 10 minutes, Hagrid and the other boat were back again to fetch the other old students. And they came into the Hall where the hat was already in the chair and it was just started singing. It sang:

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty

But don't judge on what you see

I'll eat myself if you can find

A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers back

Your top hats sleek and tall

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat

And I can cap them all

There's nothing hidden in your head

The Sorting Hat can't see

So try me on and I will tell you

Where you ought to be

You might belong in Griffindor

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve, and chilvary

Set Griffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are tru

And unafraid of toil;

Or yet wise old Ravenclaw

If you're a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You'll make your real friends

Those cunning folk use any means

To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!

And don't get in a flap!

You're in safe hands (though I have none)

For I'm a thinking cap"

The song is still nice for Harry even though it's old for him. It seems yesterday for him when he first tried that hat. It even asked him where he wanted and not just put him right there. The hat told him that he could be in Slytherin and also in Griffindor for he has plenty of courage. But Harry thought on not going into Slytherin because he heard the rumors that the one that is on Slytherin must be very bad. The Sorting Hat granted his wish and just led him into Griffindor. Where he just had a start. For him, Griffindor is the best because it made him together with his friends: Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger.

They three went to their usual table and watch the Sorting Hat Sort (of course! That's what it's really need to do). But then, Professor McGonagall said, "Excuse me Muggles! I'm very sorry to tell you but there are so many Muggles that came in this school, which we can't control. So I therefore say that the Sorting Hat will also announce if the muggle will be accepted or not. I'm very sorry" Harry began to have a nice smile for he thought that Dudley won't be accepted.

The muggles were the first one to be sorted. Maybe the reason was because the Hogwarts were crowded so they need to remove the muggles as soon as possible. The Sorting Ceremony was started and the muggles were alphabetically sorted. "Abel, Katie – CAN'T!!! Agrentle, Francis – RAVENCLAW!!! Allen, Reammle – RAVENCLAW!!! Atlantis, Marie – CAN'T!!!" Those muggles were the first one that was sorted of course! because their surnames ends in A. After 50 students in A-C that was sorted, D comes next. Meaning, Dudley was about to be sorted.

"Dale, Mandy – HUFFLEPUFF!!! Dash, Lou – SLYTHERIN!!! Dear, Wendy – CAN'T!!! Dikkle, Jhonny – GRIFFINDOR!!! Dill, Penelope – HUFFLEPUFF!!! Door, Annie – RAVENCLAW!!! Dursley, Dudley - ..." Harry was in an awful stage of pregnancy I mean, he perspired much because he really wanted Dudley to be out of this school. Harry kept perspiring while Dudley is thinking on to with the Sorting Hat. "Please no to where Harry is... Please not to where Harry is... (then he changed his wish) I want to be with Malfoy... Malfoy... Malfoy..." The Sorting Hat was a little annoyed with what he wished. "What are you thinking? Harry Potter's not bad, I tell you. He tried to save this school for 4 times. I wish you'll not hurt him here like what you did to him at you house. Okay then, SLYTHERIN!!!" Dudley went to the Slytherin table them made a high five with Draco.

Harry's situation was bad. He was practicing a math problem. "Dursley plus Malfoy equals Disaster!" he muttered. But then, Ron said. "The Sorting Hat's choice was good right?" Harry glared at him. "But Harry! If Dudley really meant to study here at Hogwarts, you can't control that. So all you can do is just be thankful that he wasn't in Griffindor" Hermione scolded. "Well, Harry what Hermione said is what I tried to tell you. But you glared at me. So I can't continue what I'm saying" said Ron.

"Alright! So Hermione, how's your studies this summer??" asked Harry. "Not much! My neighbors kept visiting me at my house. I didn't get a chance to read Let's Play Quidditch. But I've read some of it. I just didn't read the last 4 chapters. Well, I'll tell you guys what really happened," before Hermione continued on what she's saying, she first took a sip of her empty glass, which magically became full of Iced-Tea. "There was a new neighbor on our village. He was a very cute guy. His name is James Ferry, and he really got a nice personality. He loves sports, specifically Tennis and Swimming. His age is 17. And I love it because he's just a year older than me," Hermione kept dancing on her seat. Unexpectedly, all the Griffindors on the table looked on her. "Oh!" she said.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron's face were burning. Maybe they were jealous of James. Harry tried to forget it so he changed the subject. "Ron how's your summer?" he asked. "A complete disaster. My mom just kept on telling us: Please de-gnome the garden now! But the person I hate most at home is Ginny. She kept on talking and talking," Ron stopped as he noticed Hermione mouthing something to him. He didn't understand it as well so he just continued. "She's talking about you Harry! YOU. And she kept on telling us that you did that, and that and that, you made you-know-who vanished, you saved her life, Cho Chang's a nerd. Cho Chang's --- Oh, Sorry!" He noticed that Ginny was on his back. And at last Ginny got his wallet. She went back on her seat and began looking for something in his wallet. "Please Ginny! Give my wallet back to me. I'll do your household at home for 2 months," pleaded Ron. "Make it five!" commanded Ginny. "Alright! I promise NOW!!" said Ron. "Okay, you promised that huh? Alright! After I give this to Hermione!!!" she quickly said. She handed Hermione a something.

Hermione accepted it (of course, why not?). It was a picture and a letter. The picture was Hermione's, while the letter was somehow crumpled. And it seems like it was from a diary. Hermione read it loud for she didn't thought that it would be so bad reading it publicly. It says:

Dear Diary,

I really missed Hermione. And with this picture, I will not forget her shining eyes, smooth skin, slender body, her always-clean nails, her fixed hair and especially her reddish lips that are waiting to be touched into my lips. I wish she were mine. I wish she like me back. I wish that were always together. I wish that she were my wife. I wish that she loves me. I really wish I have enough courage to give this letter to her.

Hermione,

I really like you for you're always there for me, thanks for everything that you have to for me. You know, I really like you. I wish that you liked me back. And also, I wish that those shining eyes and smooth skin were mine. Lastly, please grant the wish of your lips, that it may touch mine; the wish of your heart that we may be together. I love you!

-Ron

P.S. Will you be my girlfriend??

This is my only dream, that I may be able to give this to her. I really love her. And I wish that she's with me right now.

- Ronald Weasley

Ginny kept giggling and giggling. While all the Griffindors kept laughing and lauging because all listened to Hermione for she had a very loud voice. Harry was laughing too. While Hermione was a bit uncomfortable for the moment, she was a little guilty for she read it loud. Ron however was out. He went to the Comfort Room even though he didn't really need to go there. The Griffindors weren't still finished laughing. So Hermione stood up. She went to somewhere away the Griffindor table. She suddenly felt a tear dropped from her eyes. She decided to go to the Comfort Room to wash her eyes. She forgot that Ron was there. On her way to the Comfort Room, she passed by Ron. Hermione decided to follow him. "Ron!" she called out. Ron stopped and looked at her. He was sorry for the tears that flowed from her eyes, but she was the one who made that thing burst out. Hermione began to hug him. Tightly. Then she said while sobbing. "Ron, I really didn't mean to. (sob) I really didn't know what was (sob) written in there!" "It's okay! Please calm down," said Ron. "Well, thanks! Is this yours?" she asked as they pulled back and she handed him the diary with the letter and the picture. "It's now yours!" said Ron. "But you can keep my picture" said Hermione. Ron smiled as he get the picture from her. "Okay, it's yes!" said Hermione. Ron looked at his left then, right then at the back. He then said, "Huh?" he said. "I mean your last question in your letter. My answer is yes. But your second to the last question is nope. Were in a public place and I hate doing that" said Hermione. Ron was very happy so he embraced her. They tightly hugged each other. Ron handed her his hankerchief so Hermione may use it to wipe her tears.

As soon as they were back in the Griffindor table, Ginny laughed continously. Then she said, "I saw you I while ago Ron! You were hugging Hermione!" then she laughed again. Ron and Hermione looked at each other and then they joined Ginny while laughing. It was because they want to look like as if they weren't affected by what Ginny said.
