A/N ~ Ok, Hi everybody. My little sisters are going to the zoo, so I have the house to myself. This also means that there is no one telling me to get off the computer. Lets see how many chapters I can write today. If anybody cares I was supposed to go shopping, but my mother decided that since it was going to rain tomorrow she should take us to the zoo today. I politely declined, as I would much rather write fanfic than spend hours outside, with little sisters, walking around in a complex that smells like elephants. Now on to the writing. Just out of curiosity, does anybody actually read these?
Disclaimer ~ If you recognize it, it doesn't belong to me. It probably belongs to the wonderful JKR, TP, MR, DE, or fellow fanfic authors, Katie D. Lori, Cassandra Claire, AngieJ, and anybody else that you can think of. Actually, I think that most of this chapter is mine, which is very strange in and of itself. So it might not be as good as other chapters. Oh well, this is my own little fun chapter Hehehe, I really think that this should happen, but y'know, it's just me. Hehehe, have fun. Enjoy
Chapter 12
The next day
Harry and Hermione were sitting in Transfiguration, listening to Professor McGonagall lecture about Animagis. Or more accurately, Hermione was listening intently while Harry was staring off into space daydreaming. It was almost lunchtime, so most of the class couldn't care less about what Professor McGonagall was saying. For this reason Hermione had the highest grade in the class, at 120%, while most everyone else was barely pulling and 80 or 90%. The bell finally rang, and Hermione gathered her books and went up to talk to Minerva as she usually did after class. Harry caught her by the arm and said, "I'll meet you in the Great Hall."
"Okay," Hermione replied, blowing him a kiss. Harry walked out of the room with Ron, who was currently making gagging motions. Lavender elbowed him in the side.
"Ron, stop it." She said. "It's cute!"
Hermione walked up to Minerva's desk and sat her books down. "Hello Hermione," Minerva said mildly. Oh good thought Hermione At least she's not mad at me too. "What did you think of the lesson today?"
"I thought it was very interesting. Who knew that turning into an Animagis was discovered by Chinese Wizards who were trying to escape a Chinese Fireball. I wanted to ask you something, can one choose which animal you transform into, or do you perform the spell, and then turn into an animal that fits your personality?"
"Hermione, that's an excellent question, I had never thought of that. Hmm, well, I think that you can choose what animal that you turn into, but most choose animals that fit their personalities, for example I transform into a cat, Sirius Black can turn into a dog, Peter Pettigrew a rat, and Rita Skeeter can turn into a beetle. I wonder what would happen if someone tried to transform into an animal that didn't fit their personality. If that does happen to be the case, that could be why there are so few Animagi, because others who tried it were killed because they didn't choose an animal that fit their personality. Hermione, you may be on to something there. If you don't mind, I'm going to go look something up, so you may go to lunch now." And with that Minerva swept out of the room.
Hermione looked stunned, it had just been a curiosity of hers (and Corinne Cassandra by the way). What if it was true, that would be très chouette, if it actually panned out. Hermione walked down to the Great Hall and over to the table where she and Harry usually sat. Ginny and Seamus were bickering as usual, Harry and Ron were attempting to tickle Lavender, but she kept cursing them. Hermione smiled wryly.
"So this is what happens when I leave you alone for two minutes. Honestly, one would think that you could behave. And Harry, leave Lavender alone or you'll end up with your ears where your eyebrows should be, she's pretty good with curses."
Harry stopped tickling Lavender and looked up. "You're back early," he said with a smile, "usually you spend most of the lunch hour talking with Professor McGonagall."
"I was asking about one of my theories, when she got all excited and went off to look something up." Hermione said sitting down. A bagel with cream cheese and a glass of orange juice appeared in front of her. "Thanks." She said.
She began to eat when she noticed Harry looking at her. "What, do I have cream cheese on my nose or something?"
"Yes," he replied, trying not to laugh. "Here, let me get that for you." And he leaned over and kissed her nose.
"Harry!" Hermione said, trying not to giggle. Lavender, Parvati, and Ginny were smiling and 'aww'ing. Ron, Seamus, and Dean were making gagging noises and pretending to stick their fingers down their throats. Simultaneously they received elbows into their sides. Harry and Hermione smiled at their friends before Hermione kissed Harry back. As Ginny accurately spotted the beginnings of a snog session, she said,
"Okay, enough of that, some of us are trying to eat lunch." Hermione broke off the kiss and got up from the table.
"I have to go study for our charms test, I'll be in the library if anybody needs me."
Harry looked around, then got up saying, "yeah, I should go study for that test. Um, yeah." He quickly walked out of the Great Hall in the direction of the library. Ron looked at his friends and said "Do we even have a test in charms today?"
Lavender smiled and replied "No. We don't."

The Library
Harry summoned two items from his room before walking into the Library. He walked right over to where Hermione was sitting. "I was wondering how long it would take you." Harry walked over to her and sat down in the chair next to her.
"Do we actually have a charms test?" Harry asked. "Because if we do, I actually need to study."
"No, that was just the first class that came to mind." Hermione said. She stood up and sat on Harry's lap. Then she tilted her head up and started kissing him. They were in the middle of a lovely snog session that I won't intrude upon, when Draco walked to the back of the library and saw Harry and Hermione.
He smiled cruelly and said, "tut tut, won't Dumbledore be disappointed that his two favorite students have been caught going at it again, and in the library. I'm shocked, really." Draco turned his head and looked for the librarian. Harry took that opportunity to cover himself and Hermione with the invisibility cloak (the other thing he summoned from his room). "Oh Madame Pince." Draco called in a pleased voice. "You have to come see this." He looked back and saw that Harry and Hermione were no where in sight. Just then Madame Pince arrived.
"What do I need to see Mr. Malfoy?" She asked in an impatient tone. "I don't see anything."
"Potter and Granger were right here." Draco sputtered. "They just disappeared." (I'm sorry to all you Draco fans, but for the sake of the fluff, he is going to lose his composure and sputter)
Madame Pince gave him a sharp look and turned around and marched straight back to her desk.
In the mean time, Harry and Hermione had silently made their way out of the library and into the corridor. Harry pulled out the Marauder's Map and started looking for something. He kept making several strange turns, until they were in a part of the building unfamiliar to Hermione. Harry suddenly opened a door to…
A/N ~ I should stop right here and leave it at that, but I won't, I'm not that cruel, not yet. Just you wait. Hehehe ::rubs hands together in anticipation::.
A closet!
"Harry, what are we doing here." Hermione asked.
"Actually managing to kiss in private without interruption." Harry said as he removed the invisibility cloak and set down the map. Hermione smiled and began to kiss him. ~I personally do not want to witness this snogfest, so I am leaving the closet right now. But I can assure you that nothing happens in there except lots of kissing, I have Hermione's word on that. ~
It was about five minutes until their next class when Hermione realized that they had better start walking to Charms, or it was likely they wouldn't make it on time. She broke off the kiss, and told Harry. He looked slightly disappointed, but he picked up the invisibility cloak and the map and they walked back to charms. Before they entered, Harry took the invisibility cloak off of the two of them and put it into his bag and they walked into Charms. As soon as they sat down Ron, Seamus, and Dean elbowed each other and gave pointed looks at Harry. Lavender and Parvati giggle and looked at Hermione. Apparently no one had believed their excuses. The rest of the day was rather uneventful until about 10:00 that night.
~~~
10:00 that night
Harry and Hermione walked quietly down teacher's halls, hidden beneath the invisibility cloak. "Are you sure we should be doing this?" Hermione asked.
"Probably not." Harry replied. "But I feel just awful about dissappointing Remus and Sirius, I really need to talk to one of them." They walked up the next corridor. "Are you sure this is it?" Harry asked.
"Yes," Hermione hissed, "I've been here before, remember." (a/n ~ Shannon, get your mind out of the gutter!) "It's that one, right there." Hermione pointed to a plain wooden door down the hall to their right. Suddenly, the door opened. Both Harry and Hermione got very quiet. Professor McGonagall stepped out of the room. She looked around, straigtened her robes, pushed her glasses up on her nose and tidied her brown hair, placing several stray hairs back into the knot at the nape of her neck.
A/N ~ And I think that that's how I'm going to end the chapter because it's 1:49 EST and I would like to go to sleep. ::Attempts to stop falling onto the keyboard:: uxjchgvao ::fails and shakes self awake again:: Umm, this took me so long because I did get to go shopping, but my muse left me after I sat back don at the keyboard. I just have to type the thank you's and then I can post and go to sleep.
Thank You to ~ Malfoysgrrrl!!. Katie D. (yes, it was supposed to be sappy, Hermione herself said that it was sappy. I was in a sappy mood. She was in a sappy mood.) Zippo (Don't worry, I've got a couple more chapters for this fic in my head, and about two or three other stories just waiting to jump onto paper. I can't however work on more than one at once or I confuse my self). Brokenflower. Griff (Hermione promised me that she would behave herself for the rest of the school year, that's what chapter 11 was about, punishing my characters for not listening to me. hehehe ::evil laugh:: lets see them try to do that again. Oh well, it turned out pretty well.) I didn't get many reviews this time. Well, that could be because I just put it up and I'm already putting this one up. Ok, as always thank you to Katie D. who is a wonderful writer and helps me edit this stuff. And to Shannon who thinks of increadibly sick things and then makes me think of things to do other than those things so that she stops bugging me. Thank you to Laura aka L.X. Walton fellow fanfic author who helps inspire me, she is my muse when my regular muse is gone, or it could be that I just think of new things to get her to turn off that awful country music she makes us listen to when I can't think of an idea. And to Katie who has supported me through all of this, and stood up for me when Shannon was telling the school that I was writing porn (this was before Shannon had even read my story) Well I can't wait to see how this little situation works out. Hehehe
A/N ~I am now the beta reader for Lady Sachiko Barton. So go read one of her stories, they're really good! ::happy happy dancing!:: now must post before sleep. zzzzzzzzzzz
