Chapter 6

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all woke up at the same time and went downstairs together. The three of them sat down at the Gryffindor table waiting for the owls to come. Finally, 5 minutes later, owls filled the Great Hall. Owls found their owners and dropped parcels, and letters on their laps. A Barn owl brought a copy of the Daily Prophet for Hermione. Hermione shoved the copy of the Daily Prophet in her bag and starts eating breakfast. "Ron, why did you need my Invisibility Cloak yesterday"? Harry whispered to Ron, making sure Hermione doesn't hear. If Hermione heard, her expression must be "sneaking around at night again? You know that's wrong and dangerous! What if Filch caught you"? "I went to the library", Ron whispered back. "Why"? "To sign out some books", Ron said quickly. "I'm not stupid, I know how to read". "I know you do, but why did you get books for? We haven't even started any subjects yet". "Yeah.well." Ron stuttered. "Guys what are you muttering about"? Hermione said impatient. "Nothing", Ron and Harry said at the same time. Hermione rolled her eyes and started eating. "What do we have first today"? Harry asked changing the subject. Hermione grabbed her schedule out of her bag and looked over her schedule. "We have Defence Against Dark Arts first with the Ravenclaws, then we got Charms with Slytherin (Ron moaned about that, and banged his head on the table)", Hermione read out-loud. "Did you say that we have Defence Against Dark Arts first"? Ron asked, not banging his head on the table anymore. "Yeah, why"? Hermione asked curiously, raising an eyebrow at him. "Nothing", Ron said quickly. "Umm..some breakfast that was huh? I'm stuffed"! Ron said getting up from the table. "I.forgot something upstairs, I'll meet you guys in class, okay? Bye"! With that, Ron took off. "What's with him"? Harry asked. Hermione shrugged and they finished eating. They went back upstairs to get their bags but they didn't see Ron. "I thought he said he went upstairs"? Hermione said. "Maybe he's already waiting for us in class", Harry suggested, shrugging. The two walked to Defence Against Dark Arts class. As soon as they got there, the first thing they saw was the guys waiting anxiously outside the door. Hermione rolled her eyes at this. "Why are they all here so early"? Harry asked. "Don't you see? Remember, Fleur's partly Veela, so now every boy is attracted to her. That's why the guys are here so early. To see her"! Hermione explained. They waited for 10 more minutes, and finally Fleur arrived. "Sorry to keep guyz vaiting", Fleur apologized. She walked into the class while the rest followed. Everyone picked a seat. All the guys got to sit in the front. Hermione and Harry were squished to the back. "Vell now, lets start shall ve"? Fleur started. "Now take out ze-" "How old are you"? A boy from Ravenclaw asked. "Vell, that is a rather personal question, but I shall answer it anyways. I'm 19", "Do you have a boyfriend"? Another boy from Ravenclaw asked. "No". "Do you fancy anyone"? Someone behind Harry and Hermione asked. Harry and Hermione turned around seeing Ron sitting behind them. As soon as they saw him, Ron's face turned a bright shade of red. "Hey guys", Ron mumbled. "No, I don't fancy anyone", Fleur replied. This continued on and on until class was over. "Vell now, since you guyz know so much about me, maybe I should give you a quiz about me", Fleur said laughing. The next class didn't go so easily though. Professor Flitwick taught them the shielding charm. Everyone had to go in pairs and try the spell. One person casts a spell on the other, while the other casts the shielding charm on themselves. But Charms ended half an hour early, since Neville accidentally blew up the classroom. Next they had Divination. They had to start learning how to use tarot cards. "Man I'm starved. I haven't eaten anything all day"! Ron said. "You ate breakfast", Harry pointed out. "Yeah, but besides that, what else did I eat"? "You ate, 3 chocolate frogs, you almost finished the Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, 5 cookies your mum sent you, and-" "Okay, so what if I did eat some stuff"? Ron asked. "Some"? Harry laughed, and soon Ron joined in too. Hermione ran up to them. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you guys", Hermione said out of breath. "It's time for dinner, so we better get to the Great Hall". The three of them walked to the Great Hall, and sat down together at the Gryffindor table. Time went by, and more people came in and sat at their tables waiting for dinner. Finally, everyone was seated; the Great Hall went in total silence as Dumbledore stood up. "I only have 1 notice to tell you all again. Tomorrow we will be starting Quidditch. Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff", Dumbledore smiled. He sat back down, and everyone's plates, and goblets filled up with food and drinks. "The house elves have over-done themselves again"! Ron said in the middle of tearing down a piece of chicken. Hermione bit her lips but didn't say anything. After when they were finished eating, everyone proceeded back to their common rooms. Hermione pulled Ron, and Harry away from the line up they was in to get back upstairs. "Come on, I want to show you something", Hermione said looking excited. They walked to the library making sure no one sees them, especially Peeves. When they got there, they hid behind some shelves that were covered with dusty old books. "What's wrong with you"? Ron asked curiously. "The Crystal Ball of Fire", Hermione said taking out a copy of the Daily Prophet. "What about it"? Ron asked. "They KNOW where it is"! Hermione said excitedly. "So what if they know where it is? Where is it by the way"? "Here"! Hermione exclaimed. "Where"? Ron looked around. "At Hogwarts"!
