Ironic Feelings - Part 3
Hermione woke up and saw Harry next
to her sleeping, his steady breathing barely inaudible. She abruptly remembered
that he was staying with her because of that really bizarre dream. She looked
at her alarm clock and gasped.
She forgot to set it. Hermione mentally slapped herself.
Lavender and Parvati were going to wake up any second now.
"Why are the curtains around your bed, Hermione?" Parvati
asked.
They were awake.
"I uh…feel sick and uh…don't want you all to catch it!"
Hermione blurted. Oh great, she thought, I'm awful at lying!
"Really? Let me see," Lavender sounded excited.
"No! I mean I uh…look horrible and…it's highly contagious!
You should both get Madam Pomfrey!" If they found out Harry was with her
sleeping…they would make the whole school believe Hermione was pregnant.
"Both of us?" Lavender asked.
"Yeah…both of you," Hermione said.
"Okay Hermione," Parvati sounded suspicious.
"Hurry up!" she ordered them, then saw Harry sleeping and
said, "No, no, I mean…take your time!"
She heard they footsteps wear away. She turned to face
Harry. He was still sleeping silently.
"Wake up sleepy head," Hermione couldn't help smiling as
she rubbed his cheek.
"Huh? Oh hi Hermione…" He said fuzzily.
"Harry you have to hurry up and get to your dorm! Madam
Pomfrey is gonna be here any minute. I told Lavender and Parvati that I was
sick; they don't know you're here," She said, suddenly realizing he had to get
out of there fast.
"You're right I gotta go," Harry got up and quickly kissed
Hermione on the cheek. Hermione tried not to smile as he pulled a cloak over
his boxers and T-shirt.
"Bye Hermione." Harry had his lopsidedly smiled; the one
Hermione thought was cute, before he left. He's so sweet, she thought. Just
then Madam Pomfrey stormed in followed by Lavender and Parvati.
"Are you the sick girl that looked horrible?" Madam
Pomfrey raised an eyebrow.
"Um, you see I was sick then all of a sudden I felt
better," Hermione blurted hoping the story sounded true. Madam Pomfrey raised
both eyebrows.
"Oh, well that explains everything!" she sounded relieved
all of a sudden, "All you have to do is take this pill right about… Now!" She
looked up from her watch and held her hand out for Hermione to take the pill.
It was silvery - it looked like the material from Harry's invisibility cloak.
"Well what are you staring at it for? Here's a glass of
water to swallow it!" Hermione took the water and weird-looking pill. There was
no way out of this so she swallowed the pills and some water.
All of a sudden everything spun and went hazy. Hermione
tried to make out what they were saying but it sounded like a bunch of moans.
Then she fell back onto her bed and her world went pitch black.
***
Harry
quickly went back to the boys' dormitories hoping he wouldn't get caught
especially just coming out of Hermione's dorm.
"Potter! What exactly were you doing in Granger's dorm?"
demanded an angry Snape. Harry slowly turned around to see the Weasley twins
laughing hysterically. They were leaning against the wall of the 7th year
girls' dorm, motioning Harry to come over. Fred was holding a vivid orange,
weird funnel-shaped thing with all different buttons on it.
"Huh? Where's Snape?" he asked once he reached. Fred was
laughing to hard to answer. George snatched the thing he was holding out of his
hands.
"Right here, Potter," George said. But it didn't come out
anything like George's voice; it sounded just like Snape when he was going to
catch someone doing something wrong.
"Isn't it cool? We found it Filch's office! Now we could
use it on-"
"Anyone," they replied in simultaneously. The twins
grinned evilly and rubbed their hands together as if they were up to something,
like right now. Harry was still had a confused look on his face.
"Here," George showed him "Give it a try, Harry. It's a
called a voicer. You just press the buttons with the pictures on them." Harry
took the thing looking at all the buttons. There was a Professor McGonagall,
Neville Longbottom, and - Draco Malfoy.
"Great, I'm going to scare Ron," Harry said thinking of
how to scare Ron, but also getting away from explaining what he was doing in
his girlfriend's dorm.
"Sure, no problem," Fred paused, "Just tell us what were
you doing in Hermione's dorm." The both gave Harry identical expectant looks.
"I was umm…talking?" Harry said hopefully.
"It's okay, Ron all ready told us," George patted him on the
back then lowered his voice, "So what did you do?"
"Nothing - I swear," Harry said quickly backing away, "I
gotta go and scare Ron. See-you." Harry waved and headed for his dorm. He went
in and closed the door forgetting about scaring Ron.
"Where have you been?" Ron sounded a hint like Mrs.
Weasley, "Well?"
"Talking to Fred and George - look at this something they
found it Filch's Office!" Harry handed it to Ron "You just press the buttons
with the pictures on them and you talk into it and it sounds like that person."
Harry noticed Ron too was eyeing Malfoy's button. Ron looked up at him.
"Before you know it we'll be the next Fred and George and
look its - Malfoy's button!" Ron seemed to forget about Harry being out of bed.
"What is it called anyway?"
"A voicer or something like that," Harry said. "Let me see
it for a sec?"
"Sure," Ron handed him the voicer. Harry pushed the Snape
button; unable to get over how it sounded when the twins scared him. He crept
over to Neville who was turned around looking for something.
"Ten points from Gryffindor, Longbottom!" it sounded just
like Snape's greasy voice. Harry and Ron ducked behind Ron's bed.
Neville gasped and turned around looking like he'd just seen a ghost "Where is
Snape?" He looked around frantically.
"On your left shoe, Longbottom!" Neville's eyes widened
and took off his shoe quickly and threw it at the wall narrowly missing
Seamus's head. Neville looked down and realized he threw his right shoe so he
took off his left one and threw it on Dean's bed.
"Snape is on my shoe!" Neville shrieked. Seamus just
glared at him while Harry and Ron were laughing their heads off.
"Huh?" Seamus said. "How can he be on your shoe, Neville
and what's so funny?" They were now rolling on the floor.
"I think we are turning into Fred and George, Ron," Harry
choked out, "Neville, it was all a joke," Ron held up the voicer.
"Oh that," Dean just came in shutting the door, "I've
heard of those - really cool. Where did you get it?"
"Fred and George found it in Filch's Office. We're just
borrowing it," Harry explained. Harry got dressed and put over that his robes,
like he does everyday. They all headed down to breakfast talking about all the
things and ways they could scare Slytherins - especially Malfoy. As they were
eating Seamus changed the subject.
"Where were you this morning, Dean? You were out of bed
really early," Seamus looked very concerned.
"Me? Just talking to Parvati," Dean grinned. "That reminds
me! She was saying Hermione fainted and she's in the hospital wing right now."
Harry quickly grabbed a piece of toast and got up from the table.
"I uh forgot a book in my room. Gotta go," Harry said,
saying the first thing that came to mind. Harry broke into a run out of the
Great Hall.
"But it's Saturday, Harry!" Ron yelled before Harry could
get out left. Harry didn't have an answer so he kept on running. He dashed
through the halls until he reached the hospital wing. He looked inside but
didn't get very far because Madam Pomfrey was helping a patient nearby.
"Yes, Mr. Potter?" she asked.
"Is uh Hermione here?" Harry asked nervously. Since the
door was open he glanced around the room and saw Hermione in the back.
"Yes but I really don't think-" Madam Pomfrey rejected.
"Please Madam Pomfrey? I uh have to give her work to do."
"Fine but if she's sleeping do not wake her up and be
quiet I have lots of patients today," she warned. Harry rushed inside and
walked over to Hermione's bed. Hermione was clutching a pillow, nodding off.
Harry looked around but Madam Pomfrey was nowhere to be seen.
"Hermione?" Harry rubbed her cheek "Wake up." Hermione
tossed and turned then immediately sat up. She looked at Harry then tilted her
head deep in thought.
"Who're you?" Harry looked at Hermione in horror.
"Y-you don't remember me, Hermione?"
"No…but I just had a dajavu and who's Hermione?"
"Who's Hermione!?" Harry shook his head and put in his
hands. He didn't notice Madam Pomfrey coming over.
"I thought I said for you to be quiet! This is a hospital
wing not a-" but Harry cut her off.
Hermione doesn't remember who she is! What did you give
her?" Harry was furious now. Madam Pomfrey sat down by Hermione too.
"Hermione do remember who we are?" she asked simply.
"Now I know where you're from!" Hermione pointed at Harry
"You're from my dream! We were flying on a broom..." She went on and on. Harry
turned to Madam Pomfrey.
"You see what I mean-" Harry stopped though because Madam
Pomfrey had a smile playing on her lips. "You think its funny Hermione doesn't
even know she's a witch or 'who Hermione is'?"
"Harry you talk to Hermione about her dream. I have to go
get something for Hermione to get her memory back." Madam Pomfrey disappeared
into her office. Harry tuned back to the girl that used to be Hermione. She had
a very hurt look on her face.
"You don't want to hear my dream, do you?" she looked away
as if she was about to cry.
"No, no, I want to hear your dream, Hermione." Harry
wondered what she did dream though.
"Who's Hermione?" she tilted her head again.
"You are. Now what were you saying about going on a broom
in your dream?"
"Oh yeah… Well you were on a broom and told me to get on
it so I did. We went flying high above the clouds then came down near some big
castle. We went in and I still remember the way through all the halls. Then we came
across a picture with a bowl of fruit and you tickled the pear and it became a
handle. Then it opened and went inside and it was a kitchen full of these weird
creatures called house elves. Something very bad happened to one called Dobby
but I don't know what happened because you woke me up." Hermione looked up at
Harry "Yeah, I know it probably sounds weird but it all seems so…"
"Familiar?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, very, very familiar," Hermione rubbed her chin.
Madam Pomfrey came in with a pill and glass of water.
"Harry, has Hermione told you about her dream, yet?" She
raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah she told me about her dream, but why?" Harry knew
something was going on with these dreams and Madam Pomfrey knew what it was.
"Because once she takes this pill she'll be back to normal
but won't remember her dream and you'd both want to know for one reason or
another," she had the same smile from before but this time her eyes were
twinkling. Harry was about to ask her about the dreams but Hermione
interrupted.
"I'm confused!" Hermione sounded very upset.
"Just swallow this potion," Madam Pomfrey showed her the
vile of glowing metallic blue potion. Hermione looked at her suspiciously and
took the pill and the glass of water. Then she wobbled backwards looking extremely
dizzy. Harry quickly caught her before she fainted. Madam Pomfrey smiled as she
helped Harry get Hermione on her bed.
"She'll wake up any second now." Madam Pomfrey said
looking at her watch. As if on cue, Hermione sat up rubbing her eyes.
"Hey Harry, uh hi Madam Pomfrey. Why am I in the Hospital
wing?" Hermione looked around the room. Harry let out a relieved sigh.
"How are you feeling Hermione?" Madam Pomfrey asked.
"Fine but—" Hermione gave Harry a confused look.
"Mr. Potter will explain," she said winking at Harry, "You
may leave now." Harry helped Hermione get out of her bed. She still had her
nightgown so Harry took off his cloak and gave it to Hermione.
"Thanks, Harry," she smiled.
"No problem," Harry opened the door and they went out into
the vacant hallway. "Hermione, since its Saturday I really don't think we
should go up to the common room to talk about this."
"But how did I get in the hospital wing?" Hermione asked.
"Fine I'll tell but I'm warning you it's a long story. Why
don't we go outside and walk around the lake so we won't be overheard."
"Sure, good idea" Hermione agreed. They set outside as
Harry told Hermione everything she missed out on.
"The thing I don't get is what Madam Pomfrey was talking about
with those dreams…" Harry dazed at the cloudy sky. Hermione gasped.
"I think I know what she means!" she exclaimed.
"What?" Harry asked.
"I read it in a book over summer vacation. It's called
Divination and How to be Exact. I didn't really like it too much but I read it
anyway. Come on lets go and get my book." They quickly hurried back to the
castle and up to the crowded Gryffindor common room.
"Stay here, I'll get my book," she whispered. "Why don't
you get the invisibility cloak?"
"Sure, meet you right outside the common room; it's too
crowded in here," Harry replied letting go of her hand.
"Thanks Harry, you're so sweet." She flung her arms around
him and kissed him briefly on the lips. Harry felt his face flush. They had
never kissed in public before though probably nobody was looking. Hermione
quickly went up the stairs to the girls' dormitories. Harry slowly started up
the stairs to his room hoping Ron wasn't there so he wouldn't have to explain
the reason why he needed the invisibility cloak.
Luckily when Harry went in Ron wasn't there so he quickly
got the cloak. Suddenly he heard some footsteps draw closer and closer. Harry
quickly pulled the invisibility cloak over himself just in time. Ron, Seamus,
Dean, and Neville burst through the door.
"I can't believe Harry could do something like that you!"
exclaimed Dean throwing his arms in the air.
"Me neither but with Harry you never know. He's so lucky!
Not only does he have Hermione when I'm sure he knew I like her, but he's also
famous, the best in quidditch, and everyone thinks he's 'so cool'," Ron shook
his head. "And what have I got but a poor family." Harry just stood there
frozen under the invisibility cloak thinking how that was so untrue. Harry
didn't have any family besides the Dursleys; All the Slytherins loathed him;
Voldemort's been after him since his birth, and a million other things.
"Don't say that Ron. You've got lot of talents you just
probably don't know about yet." Neville said trying to sound helpful. Dean and
Seamus gave him looks. Harry just shook his head, though they couldn't see him.
"Did you ever tell Harry though?" Seamus asked.
"No not really but…" Ron trailed off with his ears red.
"Come on, I'm hungry, lets go to lunch." And they all left closing the door
behind them.
Harry didn't move until he was sure they were gone by listening to their
footsteps. Harry got his Mauderer's Map just in case. Deciding to stay
invisible Harry went out of his room and into the common room. Figuring
Hermione was outside he stepped out of the portrait to see Hermione sitting
down against the wall looking at the big musty book with amazement. When she
noticed something invisible stepping out of the portrait hole she looked around
suspiciously.
"Is that you Harry?" Hermione whispered. Harry nodded then
remembered that he was under the invisibility cloak so he took it off.
"Yeah it's me, Hermione." he replied
"Good. About this book-" but Harry cut Hermione off.
"There's one thing I need to ask you." Harry said taking
her into his arms.
"Yeah. Sure - what is it?" Hermione looked startled.
"Do you like Ron?" Hermione looked up at him in horror.
"Of course not! But why?" she asked looking concerned.
"Because he likes you" Harry gulped looking up at the
ceiling then back at Hermione who looked like she was about to pull out all of
her hair.
"What?! Great Wizards! I never knew he - how'd you find
out?"
"I accidentally sort of eavesdropped," Harry said
uncomfortably. "Anyway what were you saying about that book?" Harry said
changing the subject.
"Oh yeah" she said rather seriously, handing him the book
and pointing to page 293. Harry took the big book in his hands and sat down
next to Hermione.
"Did you read it yet?" Harry asked Hermione.
"No. I just skimmed through it." She replied.
"Well then I guess we'll read it." Harry said looking down
at the book. Hermione nodded as they started reading page 293:
Wild Dreams
When two people are in love and
make a perfect match they begin to have certain types of dreams. Once someone has
Wild Dreams, they will never be in love with someone else. In those dreams they
help the future in one way or another…
And
it continued for two pages after that with details.
Hermione
turned to Harry, pale, speechless, and shaking uncontrollably.
"Hermione,"
Harry said tenderly, taking the trembling girl into his arms.
"I'm
scared an-and…"
"Scared
of what?" Harry asked her, concerned. Nothing when I'm with you, she thought,
biting her lip.
"Nothing,"
she said with feeble laugh, "I'm just happy, that's all." Then suddenly
Hermione's mood changed.
"But
what about Ron?! What am I gonna do?" she cried into his chest. Harry patted
her hair then placed her chin up to look at him. Her face was streaked with
tears, yet still beautiful.
"Hermione,"
Harry said, "I love you, no matter what. We'll get through this somehow. I
promise." His words played over and over in her head as Harry inclined closer.
They
started kissing, again, unaware of somebody watching them closely…
