Chapter 8 *********** Dumbledore's niece
Harry couldn't sleep all night, he kept thinking about Hermes being a GullogTuff, and how the book said ,"The Gullogtuffs now risk their lives every minute...." Harry turned and twisted all night trying to get the thought of Hermes out of his head, and finally fell asleep as he thought of why the sorting hat had laughed when it was Dumbledore's niece's turn.
When he awoke the next morning neither Harry, Ron or Hermione spoke much, apparently they all had allot on their mind from the previous night. They silently walked to breakfast, Harry thought about starting a conversation but as he looked at Ron and Hermione they seemed to be deep in thought and out of focus so Harry didn't bother them. The great hall seemed far quieter than usual, except for the usual gossip. Harry didn't speak at all until they were seated at the breakfast table and Dumbledore got up to make an announcement.
He said, "Good Morning all you fresh minds, I do hope you've had a good week (the previous week had been a holiday since Dumbledore had not been present) well anyhow, I would like to make some announcements for the upcoming year, classes will begin on Monday so use still have the weekend to empty out your brains. The O.W.L.S will take place on February the 12th. The Forbidden Forest is still out of bounds. Our First Quidditch match will be on January the 6th. And Mr.Filch's updated 423 rule list is located in his office if anyone would like to view."
At this Fred and George started shouting out rude comments like they should burn that list and kill the cat too. Harry than spoke up ," I'm glad school doesn't start till Monday, I could use this break" Hermione than interrupted ," Can you believe the O.W.L.S are on February 12th that's only 5 months away, I knew I should have started studying last year, I will never be able to study enough for the O.W.L.S at this rate, I think I will go complain to DumbleDo------" Ron broke in ," As if, Hermione you know you could get perfect marks on that test even if they gave it to you now! Stop complaining! Any ways what are we going to do on our last 2 days of freedom?"
Hermione who had blushed at Ron's remark had now gotten rather angry that they weren't going to study and said," I cant believe you two. The O.W.L.S are only 5 MONTHS AWAY! I'm going to the library....!" and with that she gulped down her breakfast and rushed to the library. Ron who had begun to get annoyed yelled ," 5 months away! She makes it sound like its this afternoon!" Harry who had been eating breakfast and silently laughing at Hermione's and Ron's argument spoke up ," You know, its too bad they don't put you 2 on t.v, the program would go haywire. Its hilarious"
Ron looking rather confused asked ," what's t.v again?" Harry just replied, "never mind" and they both finished their breakfast and decided to plan out the Quidditch year for Ron (he was the new captain/chaser) . About 2 hours later when they had finished planning all the practice dates and some practice plays, they got bored and decided to play exploding snap. The next day Hermione still hadn't gotten back from the library but they ignored this fact. It was storming hard so they couldn't go outside to visit Hagrid, so they once again decided to play exploding snap.
They had finished 16 games of exploding snap, Harry and Ron were now working on making their third card castle with the exploding snap cards (which was far more interesting because any minute a card could explode and the castle would give away). They heard the gryffindor common room door open, without turning around to see who it was they continued with their castle. They heard Hermione's familiar voice saying ,'' Hi Harry, Hi Ron!" Ron replied sarcastically with out looking behind them by saying ,"Well Hermione did the librarian finally kick you out?"
And Harry and Ron continued with their castle which was now 2 and a half feet long going on to 3 feet (this was their biggest yet)! Hermione just replied by saying, ''This is Ron Weasley and of coarse, Harry Potter " Harry figured that Hermione had probably just met a new first year and was showing her the 'ropes', but the voice he heard was not a first year voice, it said ," Well, Well, well it was the famous Harry Potter and his sidekick who knocked 7 trunks on me at the train station."
Ron replied like any other day ," it was six---" and then Ron choked. Both Harry and Ron stopped and gasped because they knew that behind them stood Dumbledore's niece, Kadidas, who they had knocked all their trunks into at the day of the trip. They both turned around quickly knocking over the castle with their elbows. Harry stared with an open mouth and quickly realized what he was doing closed it. Ron spoke up," err...... yeah sorry about that day... didn't know who you were.." Harry then nodded and said," err... yeah, we....er.... I didn't mean to" Harry said in a rather quick voice for he was looking into those big chestnut eyes again.
She replied ," its OK, well ive got to run, nice meeting you, ill see you all later" and she walked back out of the gryffindor common room. Harry who was in 'the daze' again, was interrupted by Hermiones bossy voice ," will someone please explain to me what happened" Ron spoke up ," first explain how u met her." And Hermione giggled and said "o.k" Harry and Ron who looked more confused than ever sat down on the couches ready to listen. Hermione explained ," well, when I was in the library I saw her reading Hogwarts A History (At this statement Ron muttered 'great just what we need another Hogwarts a History fan to follow us around') and I continued reading, the next day I was going to get the book 'O.W.L.S, A guide' I saw that she wasn't reading at all because the book was upside down!"
"so I went over to her and I said ' really interesting reading your doing there, and I showed her that the book was upside down. And you know what she said, she said 'its a talent' but I knew she had obviously not meant for the book to be upside down so I asked what she was doing, and she said conducting an experiment so I asked her to show me because I knew she was making that up to and she said OK. You wont believe what dumbledores niece was trying to do, her experiment was to see what makes overweighed librarians fall over and roll the easiest, and this whole time she had only read like the 1st chapter of Hogwarts a history and the rest of the time she was really trying to jinx the librarian to trip and fall for her experiment (at this Ron and harry hung with their mouths dropped open, unable to believe what they just heard) .
"Yeah she did some pretty good jinx's though, she did the shoe tying jinxes and the footlocker curse, you should have seen how upset and confused the librarian look, apparently Kadidas had been using Hogwarts a History as a shield so the librarian wouldn't know it was her. Well I couldn't help but to laugh as Kadidas did some of those jinxes, even though I thought some were mean I cracked up and the librarian kicked me and Kadidas out, than I introduced my self and showed her around, she's really nice and funny, you know she might even be able to out prank Fred and George!"
Ron than quietly muttered ,"yeah right" And Harry said ," I cant believe Dumbledore the head master's, own niece would do this, I thought she would be the tattletale type and one of those smart Hermione-genious kind!" Hermione answered blushing slightly ," Oh, she's smart all right she even--" Ron interrupted and said, " but if we became friends with her don't you think she WOULD tell Dumbledore all the stuff we do, I mean they are related." Hermione answered," I Doubt it , I mean look at all the stuff she's done and school hasn't even started yet, it wouldn't seem likely for her to tell would it, and besides what have we done that's ever THAT bad?"
Harry couldn't help himself and started laughing along with Ron remembering all their previous years. Harry finally said ,'' I dunno Ron, she looked nice to me, maybe we should give her a chance'' Ron got a sly grin on his face and said ,"Harry your just saying that because you've got a crus----" Harry then tackled Ron to the floor and Hermione puzzled asked Ron," Harry's got a what? What were you saying Ron?" Ron trying to get up and knowing that Harry could probably hurt him if he said anything else replied, "I said I don't think we should fully trust her yet, lets watch her, I mean she might be Dumbledore's Mrs.Norris"
Harry who was secretly rubbing his hand for he had missed punching Ron and had accidentally slammed his fist on the floor said ,"What ever, c'mon lets get down to the great hall or we'll be late for dinner" And they walked over to Dinner explaining the day at the train station to Hermione, Ron eyeing Harry slyly.
