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."
