Chapter Five: 'Bonding' with the Snake

Angel's P.O.V.

My head hurts! Where am I? Oh yeah, now I remember! Okay, let's refresh! Yesterday, um, a man was here and Mom needed a cover up. That's all, right?

"You do remember the dream, don't you? About the challenges you'll have to face?"

"Don't remind me."

"Don't want to face the challenges, do you?"

"That person said that I'd be given clues."

"Yeah, and?"

"To solve clues you need to use logic."

"Logic. Yes, I forgot. Logic is what you lack."

"Do you have to say it like that?"

"Get some rest."

"Why?"

"You'll be going to Hogwarts-"

"When?"

"Next week."

"A week to prepare for the challenges?"

"Yep."

Oh! Why did you have to remind me? I hate you!

"I could read your mind, you know."

"Sorry. But why do you always have to be right?"

"I'm the little voice in the back of your head that tells you right from wrong."

"Oh yeah. About the challenges-"

"What about them?"

"You'll help me, right?"

"If you read."

"Huh?"

"If you read, I'll be given information."

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, so if I read, I'm helping myself by preparing for the challenges, right?"

"What challenges, Angel?" I heard my mom's voice.

"Nothing."

"What challenges?"

"It's nothing, Mom."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep."

"Okay. Breakfast will be served at the Three Broomsticks."

"We're in that Hogsmeade place?"

"Of course!"

"Oh. Will Mr. Harry and Mr. Ron be there?"

"Why yes!"

"How about Mr. Draco?"

"He's not going to be there. Why?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. One question, though."

"What is it?"

"What time are we going to go to the Three Broomsticks?"

"At nine. That's half an hour from now."

"All right."

"Rest up."

Hermione's P.O.V.

She's hiding something from me. I could feel it! Challenges, something to do with challenges. What could possibly have anything to do with challenges?

Maybe I should call Ginny. She'll know what's going on, I hope.

"Okay, what's Gin's phone number again? I wrote it down and put it in my...now, where did I put it?"

I sat down on the couch, thinking about where I put Ginny's phone number.

"Where did I put it?"

"Looking for this?"

I knew who it was, but I turned around to see what he was talking about.

"What are you- where did you get that?"

"Stole it out of your purse last night."

"When?"

"When we were outside."

"Don't remind me!"

"You liked it. Admit it, Hermione. You liked it!"

"No! I hated it."

"Really?"

"Can you go? Angel's already starting to bond with you."

"Really?"

"Yeah! She asked if you were going to go be at the Three Broomsticks for breakfast."

"What did you say?"

"I said no."

"Oh."

"Can you please just leave us alone?"

"Not unless you admit you liked it."

Great! Now, I'm stuck with him. I am not admitting I liked that...what should I call it? A passionate kiss? Yeah, that's it. I am not admitting I liked that passionate kiss, am I? If I say 'yes' then maybe he'll kiss me again. No! Get that thought out of my head! I am not going in to see Harry and Ron with that thought about kissing Draco in my head!

"Well, Hermione?"

"What?"

"Admit you liked it when I kissed you."

"What if I didn't?"

"You're lying. I could see it in your eyes."

Am I this readable?

"Well, that's enough for me. You don't have to say that you enjoyed our little-"

"Mr. Draco? What are you doing here?"

When did Angel get in here? How come I didn't hear her come in?

"What are you doing?"

"Well, your mom and I were just-"

"Reciting for a play!"

"Oh!"

"See you in the Three Broomsticks!" Draco, you have to ruin everything!

"You're going to be there, too? Mom said you weren't going to be there! Only Mr. Harry and Mr. Ron!"

I think I should stop all this 'bonding'-is that the right word? Well, I'll call it that. I should stop all this 'bonding' that's going on.

"Angel, you need some rest."

"I do?"

"You're not fully recovered from the...little incident."

"Okay, whatever. See you in the Three Broomsticks, Mr. Draco!"
