Dreams

Chapter 14 : Hookups, Thoughts According to Malfoy, and a Visiting List

A/N: Ok I think I owe an explanation to everyone. My laptop's mouse wasn't working so I had to send it in. I refuse to write on paper and the other computer (which is a piece of crap). I *finally* got it back today so here goes nothing. Hopefully my muse will come back from vacation. Thanks for your patience!

A/N2: Thanks for all the reviews again.

Disclaimer: Hi my name is JK Rowling. I decided today to give Harry Potter and Co. to libertygrl413. Wakes up. Crap. That's only a dream.

***In Another Hall Before Harry and Cho Kiss***

"Ron, I left a book in the Great Hall. Let me go get it, okay?"

"Um, Mione I'm pretty sure you didn't bring a book to the Great Hall…Do you want to go spy on Harry, though?"

"You totally read my mind," Hermione said with a smile.

The pair were racing down the hall to find some good hiding spots. They found a nice, old suit of armor.

"God what an idiot. Talking about Quidditch, honestly," Ron whispered.

"I think I'm rubbing off on you, you know…," a slightly surprised Hermione responded.

"Holy shit!" Ron said a little too loudly.

Hermione smacked his head in a playful way. "I think you gave us away. What did you see?"

"Just look around the corner."

It appeared that Ron's little comment didn't disturb Harry or Cho, but Hermione's laughter did. Harry and Cho broke apart.

"Damn Harry, we were just kidding when we were saying you had to get a girl," Ron said. Hermione was still laughing.

"Umm, what the are you doing here," Harry managed to say. The red that could only happen in embarrassing situations was slowly creeping to his cheeks. Cho's cheeks were already hot with a blood-shot red that was kind of scary with her pale skin. It was the kind of red that Voldemort's eyes were.

"We were…," Ron started.

"Getting a book I left," Hermione finished. They were very good actors. Harry couldn't detect a hint of guilt from the other couple.

"Cho, can I have a minute with Ron and Hermione?"

"Sure Harry, take your time. I'll see you at the library?"

"Yeah, definitely. Right after I talk to my friends."

Cho started to walk to the library. As soon as she was out of sight, Harry exploded.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING?!?"

"Um, getting a book. I left one in the Great Hall," Hermione said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Don't give me that shit, Hermione. You're a good actress but I was with you the whole day. You haven't touched a book at all today.". Harry found some sort of calm now since some second years were looking at him strangely.

"Okay okay. Fine we confess. We were spying on you," Ron added.

Hermione shot him a glance. It clearly said why did you do that.

"Look Mione, he's not that stupid. He would've figured it out," Ron said in response to the face.

"True…But lets focus the conversation back to Harry. What are you going to do?"

"Look I don't know. I'm going to the library to talk to Cho about it. It's not like I was expecting it."

"You didn't start it!?!," Hermione asked.

"Nope, Cho did kind of press herself on him, Mione," Ron replied. "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Well that was positively out of the blue," Hermione said to herself. "Well we better leave you to your 'meeting' Harry." Hermione said this with a slight giggle.

"Best of luck and just watch for Madame Pince. She doesn't like when couples are snogging in the library," Ron added with a grin.

"Okay I'm just going to make two points. One, we are going to TALK. Two, if you guys are spying on us again , I swear to God…"

Hermione rudely interrupted by saying, "Or what Harry. What are you going to do?" Just get out of here, we won't spy."

"Boy scouts honor," Harry asked.

"Huh?," Ron asked.

"Explain it to him Hermione, I don't want to keep Cho waiting."

"Okay. Let's go to the common room, Ron. This will take awhile…Later Harry."

"Okay bye guys."

Harry checked his watch. He had been keeping Cho for over ten minutes. He muttered some curse word and sprinted to the library. He was out of breath by the time he reached Cho.

"Sorry, that little talk turned into a long one," Harry said with a lopsided grin. Most girls dreamt of that grin, even though Harry didn't think so. He had certainly changed in appearance. He looked more like his father everyday, all the teachers told him so. He would've been James Potter if it wasn't for his mother's green eyes.

"No problem Harry. I almost thought you forgot."

"So, should we go to a table or something?" Harry was inexperienced when it came to girls. He was just hoping that he didn't do something mortifying, like fart.

"Yeah, I guess we should," Cho responded.

Before they could reach a table, Harry just had to ask.

"Why did you kiss me? I thought you despised me, especially since the Triwizard Tournament."

"Look I really like you. True, I was fond of Cedric but I really wanted you. Will you be my boyfriend? Please."

Harry's mind was racing. Should he deny Cho or should he deny his feelings for Hermione?

"God why is this so complicated," Harry thought to himself. "Hermione isn't even available why should I be thinking about it."

The two were sitting at a back table now and Cho was looking a bit uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I mean why not. Sure Cho, let's try," Harry said with a confident smile.

"Great! Well, I've got to get to my common room, lots of homework."

"Yeah me too."

A light kiss later, Cho and Harry were in separate directions. Harry walked in the common room, which was a bit deserted. Hermione was there, cuddling with a book and not Ron. Harry couldn't stop feeling a bit happy to see Hermione and Ron separated for awhile. Harry decided to sneak up on her.

"Sorry for being such a jackass," Harry said.

"Christ! Harry you scared me," Hermione responded.

"Sorry for that too. Where's Ron?" He flashed the lopsided grin that dissolved girls to mere puddles of goop.

"Yum, cute smile. The eyes…oh hell no. I AM NOT THINKING THIS!," Hermione thought. "Ron went to bed, he was tired from all the Quidditch practices and homework. Harry had to agree with Ron. Katie was as bad as Oliver when it came to practice. Harry had gained some more confidence after the devastating defeat. Now that he thought about it, he had another match pretty soon.

"Oh, and I forgive you for being a jackass. I would've done the same thing. Anyways what's with you and Cho now". Hermione chuckled as she was saying all of this.

"Yeah well, we umm we are a couple."

"Ahh, that's so cute. Okay I totally sounded like Lavender just now. Smack me please," Hermione said.

SMACK

"Thanks Harry."

"No problem Herm. You don't mind if I call you Herm, do you?"

"Nah, its okay. Well it is getting late, I'm going to bed. Bye Harry."

Harry didn't want to stop talking with this amazing girl but he didn't have an excuse to keep talking to her.

"Okay see you tomorrow," he said to Hermione. He thought to himself, however, that he had to pay a visit his parents. Lots of information and he was sure that they wanted to be informed. While all this was happening, a certain Ravenclaw was talking to her master…

***Same Night, In the Malfoy Manor***

A severely beaten Malfoy was twisting and turning in his bed. His father was ashamed to have such a weak son who would even consider loving a Mudblood. His cuts and bruises were healing but only because his mother was sneaking healing potions into his room. He couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep in so he let his mind wander.

"Well, at least my month is almost over. I hope I can survive another week of this."

He looked at his tanned, toned stomach. It had a gash that was bleeding again. He got up and drank some more potion. He didn't know if it was the one that stopped the pain or if it was the healing one. He really didn't care. He just wanted to see Hermione again.

"Man, I hope Weasley is still unconscious, though I doubt it. His sister is pretty cute though. DAMN, DAMN, DAMN. I can't like a Weasley now. But then again, they are a pure blood family, Father can't beat me for that. It is pretty weird that I always like someone that is close to Weasel. Trouble finds me, I swear. Stupid hormones."

All the thinking had started to make Malfoy sleepy again. He had taken a little bit of both potions. He was able to get into a position that wasn't a nuisance. His dreams soon started to forget Hermione and were replaced by another beauty.

***The Next Day***

The well rested trio was read for more mischief. They didn't want to pull any pranks though. Filch had something up his ass this week and their detentions wouldn't have been pleasant. Harry had told Ron all the details about his hookup the night before. Ron wasn't sleeping, just day dreaming. He was trying to explain the ability to talk to his parents, also, but to no avail. Hermione decided to help Harry on the way to breakfast. Ron was starting to get the concept when breakfast was about to be served. It was one of the few mornings that Dumbledore had an announcement.

"Hello students! I have to introduce you all to Professor Wolfe. We have decided to change the curriculum and make Care for Magical Creatures a mandatory class. This was upon demand. He will be teaching the first, second, third, and some fourth years. Hagrid will still teach the fifth, sixth, and seventh years. Thank you for lending me your ears. Dig in!"

The food appeared and the school continued its daily buzz.

"That new professor looks familiar."

"How," Ron asked, after swallowing a mouthful of eggs and sausages.

"His eyes, they are really blue and cold. I've seen him before."

"He looks pretty mean. I'm happy that we still have Remus," Hermione countered.

"Hagrid will probably know something about him. Want to go after classes are done," Ron asked.

"Yeah, we haven't been there in a while."

Hermione checked her watch. "Wow we need to go to History of Magic."

"It's not like Professor Binns will notice that we're not there Herm," Harry interjected.

"Yeah I know but he is going to talk about Grindelwald and considering your dream, I think we should actually listen this time."

"What dream, Harry?"

The other two had completely forgotten to update Ron on Harry's dream. Harry did a quick recap as the trio started to make their way to class. Then it hit Harry like a bushel of bricks over the head.

"That's how I know him."

"What?" Ron and Hermione weren't on the same page as Harry.

"Professor Wolfe, that's how I know him. He has to be the son that Dumbledore was talking about. He is the boy form of his mom, Paula. He has the same eyes."

"We should probably add Dumbledore to our visiting list," Ron said.

The three took the seats in the front row.

"You guys do know you are giving Binns your undivided attention for the first time, right," Hermione whispered.

"Well there is a first time for everything," Harry replied in the same soft whisper.
