Okay, I get WAY too much homework (glares at a mean Honors Geometry
teacher) and this entire week I was up to 11pm doing my science project.
Stupid low memory computer disks. I should get Dell, instead of Aurora
Vision. Nobody even heard of it, for crying out loud! That's why I couldn't
upload my story. Anyway, here it is!
Chapter 9
"Hagrid, do you have any dragon scales left by Norbert?" Hermione asked 2 hours later.
"Dragon scales? What do you need dragon scales for, 'ermione?" Hagrid asked, pouring a cup of tea in each Hermione and Ron's mugs.
"Well, we-" Ron looked at Hermione for help.
"We need to use them for a project in Potions." Hermione lied, quickly.
"I never heard Professor Snape had a project for Potions." Hagrid gave them a look. [I wonder what the two are up to. Usually Harry is with them.] Hermione read Hagrid's thoughts.
"Professor Snape wanted us to do the project because I helped Neville in Potions, and Snape considered it cheating. Since Ron was my partner, we both have an extra experiment to do." Hermione said quickly, hoping Hagrid wouldn't notice her lie.
Hagrid studied the two of them. "Well, I don't have any dragon scales left but -"
"WHAT?" Both Ron and Hermione's eyes opened wide.
"Don't interrupt me," Hagrid said, "I was about to say that there will be a Hogsmeade visit in 3 days, and you could get it from there."
Ron gave a sigh of relief. "There is a trip to Hogsmeade?"
"Of course, Ron." Hagrid said, refilling the mug that Hermione had drunk. "Aren't you always very excited about Hogsmeade? How come you weren't counting on it this time?"
"Er- " Ron paused. "There were some, er, complications." He finished. "So do you think they would have dragon scales?"
"They did the last time I went." Hagrid said, putting more tea on the stove, "but if I-" Hagrid turned around only to find the cabin empty.
"Now why do they always do that?" He asked, scratching his beard.
It was two days after talking to Hagrid and stealing from Snape and Filch that Harry, Ron, and Hermione excitedly went to Hogsmeade with the rest of the fifth years. That is, everyone but Neville because he was still banned from going.
When Harry, Ron and Hermione got into Hogsmeade, they looked around and saw that a new shop had been built next to the Shrieking Shack. Virtuparat Villa (A/N: Latin for The House of Curses. It is the wrong word because it means swear instead of to put a curse on, but I am only in Latin 1 so excuse my poor Latin ability)
"Vituparat Villa? It sounds new." Ron said with a frown.
"Maybe this is where Hagrid found the dragon scales." Hermione said thoughtfully. "Come on, let's go. Harry, we are going to do something. Wait for us, all right?"
Harry looked hurt. "Can't I go with you?"
"Well no, this is personal."
"All right then, I'll wait here." Harry found a seat and sat down.
"Come on," Hermione said, leading Ron into the building. Ron looked around and realized the place was much like snakes office. The fetuses of bats were soaked and imprisoned in jars of brine. There was a fish that was made of pure gold, but when it turned to face Ron he could have sworn the fish made an evil crackle. There were also human arms and feet. A huge spider with real eyes was slowly moving up a branch hanging from the ceiling.
"I don't l-like this place." Ron stammered. "l-let's go back."
"Ron, we didn't come here just to turn away." Hermione said, though she was scared as well. "Let's look around."
The two of them walked around, looking when a swarm of bats flew past them, and sounded as if they were screaming for food. Ron put his fist in his mouth, trying not to panic.
"I found it!" Ron heard Hermione's voice near the back of the room. He had completely forgotten what he was looking for. Hermione came back proudly with a jar marked Scales of a Dragon.
"Great!" Ron said excitedly, "Let's go!" After paying for the dragon scales, Ron followed Hermione outside.
"Where are you going now?" Ron asked.
"To get a few things you need." Hermione answered, walking into another shop. Ron saw Parvati and Lavender sitting outside, giggling. Parvati was pulling out snakes from a jar and enchanting them so it went into Lavender's hair.
"What are you doing?" Ron asked, watching.
Parvati giggled. "This is the newest fashion, I read it in Witches Weekly." As she said this, she added more locks into Lavender's hair. One of the snakes bit Lavender's neck and a bit of blood trickled down.
"Doesn't that hurt?" Ron asked, amazed.
"A small price to pay for looking this beautiful." Lavender simply answered, and yelped when another snake bit her ear.
"Ron!" Ron completely forgot that he should have followed Hermione. He said goodbye to Parvati while Lavender was screaming to have the snakes taken off, apparently she changed her mind.
After Ron followed Hermione in an entire circle around Hogsmeade, Hermione finally decided to actually go into a store. "Here you go," Hermione said, tossing a box of tampons toward Ron in another new shop, Pulchra Puellae. (Pretty Girls in Latin)
"What are those for?" Ron asked, stupidly.
"You used them before, you should know what they are."
"I know that," Ron snapped, "but I am turning back in a week."
"Ron," Hermione said exasperated, "You already started to p.m.s. yesterday. You'll have to live through another period."
"Hermione, what if other people see me?" Ron panicked, looking around. "You hold it."
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
"Please!"
"All right," Hermione said with a sigh. She took a box and gave it to Ron.
"I need pads, too."
"Why would you need pads? I thought you liked tampons." Hermione said, confused.
"Well, if my, er, period lasts for more than a week and I am wearing that thing when I transform back-"
Hermione laguhed. "All right, a bag of pads too, but you are paying for them."
"No."
"Why not?" Hermione asked.
"It was your fault I changed into a girl, you have to make up for it. Besides, I'm poor, remember?"
Hermione sighed. "Fine. Let's go get some butterbeer." She tossed the boxes into a cart and headed for the counter, and Ron followed her. Neither of them noticed a tuff of blonde hair behind the shelf they were talking in front of. Malfoy had been eavesdropping on their conversation, and smiled.
After giving Neville some butterbeer like they promised, Hermione slipped into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and started brewing the potion. Myrtle hovered above their heads, glad to have some company. Occasionally she'd ask where Harry was, and how he wasn't with them.
The next week, after a torturous long week, including Ron's new period, he finally went back to the Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Hermione had called him earlier and told him she finished brewing the potion.
Hermione grinned. "Are you sure you want to change back?" She asked, giving Ron a glass of a pale pink mixture.
"Positive." Ron took a sip, and his eyes widened as the liquid ran down his throat.
*End of chapter 9, but not THE END*
WAIT, I am not finished yet. There is still one more chapter to go! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I had too much homework.
