"Sometimes Life Surprises Us"

Hermione was looking at him for several seconds. His face as emotionless as ever. She truly didn't have the slightest idea of why neither of them turned their eyes from another, not even her; their eyes were lock. Then she saw that Malfoy sneered; he lifted his eyebrows like trying to point something with them and with his eyes, visual contact was never broken, although. Hermione scowled a bit taken aback because she didn't understand what he was trying to say.

What? What he's trying to say? In front of me? What is in front of me?

"Ahhh!" Hermione squealed at seeing foggily (because of the closeness) a big red hand shaking in front of her eyes.

"Hermione? At last…" Ron said, "You were in the moon. I tried to take you back to the Earth planet by shaking my hand in front of your eyes, but you didn't notice it after a while. In what were you so deep in thought, what were you thinking about?"

What I was thinking about? I wasn't thinking at that moment, I don't know what got into me.

The thing of 'not think' scared a LOT Hermione Granger, since there wasn't object, nor subject, nor spell in where the light brunette hadn't think. How it was possibly that she wasn't thinking about anything for a whole minute!?

"I was remembering that…mmm…er…I still have to do 1 more inch of my Aritmancy essay. I was thinking in what more could I add to my essay."

Well, what I've just said wasn't entirely a lie, 'cause indeed I need to add one more inch to my essay to get to the 30 inches of parchment (Even if professor Vector had said 20 inches only). And there was only 1 week left, only 1 week!

"And there's only 1 week left Ron, 1 week! How I'm suppose to finish it at time?"

"1 week? Hermione for God's Sake! A week is enough for you to make a good essay of 10 inches, AND (here's the fact) you only need 1, right Harry?" Ron said while his head turned of Hermione to look at Harry, "Right Harry?"

Hermione directed her attention towards the right side of Ron, where sitting down was Harry who was peeking at the Ravenclaw table.

" Harry!" Ron said louder to gain his friend's attention...

"Forget it Ron, lost cause. You lose your time if you believe that he's goin' to stop drooling over Cho Chang, or saying it better: to stop dream awake with her." Ron sighed, a sigh that contained understanding and fatigue. The poor Ron had been making an effort to get the attention of both of his friends, in only one day. He had never felt more ignored.

Fabulous, first Hermione and now Harry, the freckled boy thought while he fixed the neck of his tunic.

" What do we do to wake him up?" Hermione asked at the same time that she lifted her goblet to take a sip of her orange juice.

"Leave it to me." Ron said with self-confidence. He put his hands together on Harry's ear and taking a deep breath he screamed " Harry! "

Like it was expected, Harry gave a jump in his seat while he blinked unceasingly because of the fright he just had. He turned his face to all sides and then he looked at Ron and Hermione, which were smiling from ear to ear.

"Ron, you know that wasn't necessary". He said calmly after passing over the fright.

" That it wasn't necessary? " A smiling Hermione said.

" Believe me, my friend, it was." Ron added.

"Well, it's ok. Cho... when will I've the enough courage to invite her to the dance?" He said, half-closing the eyes in deception with himself, "It supposed that we Gryffindor are brave -"

" Harry, you are brave, how do you believe that you've faced so many times ' You-Know-Who '?" Hermione that spoke with clear vehemence in her voice interrupted him.

"And Harry, you've already invited her last year to the Yule Ball."

"Yeah, but she told me 'no'..." a discouraged Harry said in the most depressing voice that Hermione has listened from him since beginning in Hogwarts, while he shrank his shoulders.

"But, that was because she had already been previously invited by Cedric". She tried to encourage him in vain, "If you had invited her before, I bet you that she would had accepted". She added with a false enthusiasm trying to pass it to her friend.

"Hermione is right Harry, and after all you were the champion of the TriWizard Tournament. Who would not want to go out with the champion?"

"Ron, the TriWizard Tournament was not created for that; it was created because it was considered an excellent way of establishing acquaintances between young magicians and witches of different nationalities. It is an event that should be respected by the fact that our departments of International Magic Cooperation and of Sports and Magic Games are involved. It is MORE than a simple BALL." Hermione put a great emphasis in the words ' more' and ' ball' so that they could understand better the idea. In her view they didn't take the necessary importance to the event that took place the previous year.

"Geez Hermione, you didn't need to spend too much energy in explaining things that we already know." A smiling Harry retorted. He was pleased to know that his friend would never change her personality.

"Well boys, I've to go to the library to finish my Aritmancy essay." She stood up and the boys gave her a ' see ya!' face and waved their hands. She went to the Gryffindor tower to pick up her Aritmancy things off.

"Password?" The Fat Lady asked in a screechy voice.

"Matter Omnia Vincit"

" Work conquers all?" She listened to the now usual voice of Malfoy, for her disgust. "Well Granger, even the password of the Gryffindor tower is boring." He said scorning and with the brilliant malicious eyes.

" What do you want Malfoy? " She asked him impatiently.

"Do you rather tell me, what is what YOU want?"
