The next morning Hermione came down the stairs to the girls dorms and saw Ron sleeping in one of the chairs by the fire. But what was really funny was that her "horny" romance book was resting on his front. Hermione was in the middle of trying to hide her laughs when Harry came down and laughed straight out loud waking up Ron.
"Aw Harry I was going to take some pictures!" Hermione whined. Harry patted her shoulder in sympathy.
"Oh poor Mione, don't worry I have better blackmail." He said winking at her. This only caused her to blush and look away towards Ron. Only Ron was furious with both.
"Oh be quite you two gits! Come on lets go to breakfast." He said.
"I guess he thinks we are just going to forget about this?" Hermione whispered to Harry. He smiled devilishly.
"Oh I'm not, no way."
Later that day
"Oh Ron do you really read those books? I find that so attractive in a man. Will you read some to me?" said some random Gryffindor girl. Harry's plan of embarrassing Ron had backfired, it had caused him to become the most wanted guy in school. This left a fuming Harry and a hysterical Hermione.
"Poor Harry, he's not going to get any action now that Ron's the sensitive one. I don't really get it, you're ten times more sensitive then him. Its just because he reads my books." Hermione said trying to cheer Harry up. He was still feeling sorry for himself at dinner.
"Hermione you have anymore of those books?" Ron asked her at dinner.
"Yeah I have lots, I'll give them to you when we get back to the tower." Hermione said laughing a bit. Harry mumbled something that would have made a sailor loose his pants. Hermione was about to scold him, but Dumbledore stood up and asked for attention.
"Now as you know we haven't had a dance in quite a while. So we decided to hold one on Friday the 20th. Also the day before you leave to go to your homes for Christmas." There was a loud cheer coming from all of the tables. This, from what Hermione could tell, made the headmaster extremely happy.
"Now we do have some rules, " the came a HUGE groan from the entire school, and some of the staff, "Everyone must wear formal dress robes. This is going to be a very fancy evening. We are going to be hosting some guests as well, the Duke and Duchess from Chestenburgh. They will be staying for the night and I would like this to be a grand event for them as well as for us. So be on your best behaviors." More cheers came, but Dumbledore held up his hands again.
"I'm not finished, this will only be for 4th years and up. If you are asked by an older year your welcome to join us for the evening. Partners are NOT required and I wish for you all to come. Hogsmeade weekend is tomorrow so I suggest you get all of your formal robes then." He finally sat down and a huge roar of applause and shouts came from the student body making the staff of Hogwarts very pleased.
"Oh no!" Hermione heard from down the table. It was Lavender and her groupies, "You guys we like, only have like, two days to figure out like, everything! How does Dumbledore like , think we'll be able to do it?" she said waving her hands around like a Valley girl.
"Like Lavender, I. have. No. idea!" Pavarti said in the same voice.
"Like Oh my god look at her butt, it is so big! Like I'm such a ditz, like Oh my god I broke my nail now like how am I gonna like get a guy? Like oh my god Harry this is a crisis stop that like laughing!" Hermione said slapping him. She was mocking them and was attracting quite a bit of attention. Harry and Ron had to do all it took to stop laughing, and so it seemed all the other guys around them.
"Mione. That.was.too.funny." Harry spat out with giggles coming up now and then. Hermione blushed and shrugged.
"They sound so pathetic. I almost feel sorry for them, then again I feel sorry for anyone who thinks two days isn't enough time to get ready for a damn ball." She said humble. The only thing I'm worried about is going to the dance stag. Well of course you are you dungbomb head! Who wants a bushy haired bookworm freak? What fun would that be, to bring someone like you? Sid her inner Lavender, as Hermione liked to call it.
Don't listen to her Mione, she is just jealous because she knows Harry has been stealing glances at you all night. Whispered the inner Angel, as Hermione liked to call it. (Selena Notes:hehe I'm bored remember and I know that the "big butt" is form Bring it on I couldn't resist! Moving on..)
Hermione always liked that one the best, it always made her feel more confident, except tonight. Will you both be quite, Lavender you are just being a bitch, and angel your lying Harry has done nothing but be totally platonic to me. We went over this I.Do.Not.Like.Harry.
Angel: Sure Hermione, sure that's what you said in that dairy of yours last night. How your white knight was going to save you? How much you wanted it to be Harry? Yup your NOT in love with him at all, and he has no feelings for you whatsoever. No that why he keeps blushing and stealing glances, and being EXTRA nice to you? Your pretty stupid for being smart.
