Chapter 6
" Good Morning
Harry, Ron and Hermione." Said Draco
" Morning guys." Said
Laura while walking past the Gryffindor table.
Harry nearly
choked on a mouthful of pumkin juice. " Malfoy? Being nice?! I just can't
believe it."
Ron and Hermione
could only nod back dumbly.
" Whats so
suprising about Draco saying Morning?" Laura asked curiously.
Ron recovered
sufficiently to reply." Firstly, your brother here never calls us by our first
names and secondly, he says morning!"
Draco gave Laura
a look that says I told you so.
Ginny walked
past. "Ginny! Have you seen Laura yet?" asked Ron.
" No why Ron?
Wait wasn't she the one the sorting hat could not decide which house to put
in?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah. Laura this
is Ginny." Ron said.
" Please to meet
you Ginny." Said Laura smiling and noting that Draco was turning rather red in
the face.
" Laura, could
you please leave your friends for later?" Draco asked suddenly." I an hungry."
-.-
Lessons when on
as usual, Snape was the same. Professor Mc Gonagall was just as strict. Debra's
lessons were just as fun.
During potions.
Snape set them to make a calming potion. It was said to be able to make a
person be calm for a good period of time.
To Harry, it didn't really work. Snape was angry as ever. He had outdone
himself and had managed to deduct a hundred points from Gryffindor.
During lunch,
Laura was sitting with Draco at the Slytherin table. Harry was with Ron and
Hermione at the Gryffindor table. Harry could not concentrate on his lunch. He
kept starring at the Slytherin table.
" Harry? What do
you think?" asked Hermione.
" Huh? Sorry,
what was that you were saying?" Harry answered.
" Never mind."
Sighed Hermione.
" Do you know
when her birthday is?" Harry asked suddenly.
" Who? "
questioned Hermione.
" It can only be
Malfoy's. At the rate he is starring there." Answered Ron, with a grin.
" Says who? I was
just thinking." Replied Harry blushing furiously, trying to change the
conversation.
During charms,
they were supposed to charm a book to talk. Neville had managed to charm Semus
to talk instead! And so Semus could not talk for a while. As usual, Hermione
finished her work first, charming the book perfectly. Leaving the rest of
the class quite grumpy.
Later on in
the day.
" Hi Harry. What
are you doing in the library?" asked Laura.
" Nothing. Hermione and Ron disappeared after dinner, so I came here to finish
my charms homework." answered Harry.
" Really? Wonder
what they are doing." Said Laura," I am also doing my charms homework too. And
I'm short of 0.1inches! "
" Ha. I'm short
of I inch. " Mentioned Harry glumly.
" Do what I'm
doing now. Writing a concluding paragraph which summarizes the essay and the
end in bold letters right at the end!" exclaimed Laura joyfully." I'm done!"
" Wait for me.
I'm about done." Said Harry. " Where is Draco? I thought he is always with
you."
" Oh. I was
flying around on my broomstick with Draco, when he hit the quidditch poles."
Said Laura. " He is right now in the hospital wing. Accompany me and see him
later?"
" Sure" Harry
agreed.
" Did you hear a
sound Harry?" Laura asked. " I thought it sounded pretty much like Ron and
Hermione."
" Yeah. " Harry
agreed." I heard it while we past a room."
" Lets find out."
Laura said leading the way back to the room.
" Ron! Hermione!"
exclaimed Harry in shock. " What are you doing –"
" Kissing !?!?"
Laura finished.
Ron turned bright
red. Hermione started mumbling something about the weather.
" Opps. Harry, I
think we have interrupted their private moment." Laura said, turning to leave.
" Yeah, see you two
later." Said Harry also turning to leave." We are going to see Draco. He's in
the hospital wing."
" We will go with
you." Said Hermione and slyly added." And what were you doing with Harry?"
" We are
going to visit Draco. He's in the hospital wing." Answered Laura.
" What happened?"
asked Ron, not concerened but curious.
" He hit the
quidditch poles." Said Harry in a burst of laughter.
" Hi Draco." Said
Laura.
" Well, what a
nice welcoming party, Laura. You had to drag them along." Said Draco, sneering.
" Harry
accompanied me and we bumped onto Ron and Hermione on the way." Laura
explained." So are you feeling better now?"
" But of
course!!! Madam Promfrey would not let me go. And she kept all my things!"
Complained Draco.
" I think she
always hides the students book bag on top of a cupboard, " said Harry.
Laura had gotten
the book bag down and passed it to Draco. Draco grudgingly thanked Harry and
dragging Laura along left. Laura shot Hermione an apologetic look before
leaving.
" Sheesh. Now that's
one grumpy dragon," muttered Harry to himself after Draco had left with Laura.
" I think we did
better go back to our dorms now." Said Hermione," Its getting late."
