Chapter 6: Boys VS Girls
Later that evening the whole of Gryffindor was in the common room discussing their plans for the feast. By the time Hermione came back from doing her homework at the library, Ginny was bouncing around the common room, Lavender and Pavarati were checking out the Gryffindor boys for potential dates, and Dean and Seamus were checking out each girl that walked by.
Hermione rolled her eyes, she'd never seen such chaos from the announcement of a feast. In her rush to get out of the common room and into her dorm Hermione bumped right into Seamus who was checking out the 6th year behind her.
"Ooph! Sorry." She said while bending down to pick up her books that had fallen to the floor in the collision. There was no response from Seamus, for he had already ran back to Dean.
"What about Hermione?" She heard one of them whisper.
"What about her?" The other one replied.
"What about taking her to the feast?"
"She is hot. but I don't know. What would we talk about all night? Books?"
"Who says their has to be any talking?" Dean said while elbowing Seamus in the side insinuating what guys often insinuate. Hermione didn't want to hear anymore. She knew where this conversation was going, and you can't be insulted by what you choose not to hear. She continued toward the staircase leading to her dorm.
Ron flew by Hermione, chasing Fred and George for they had attempted to use their new version of the Canary Crème on him and he wasn't too happy. Harry was chasing after Ron for in his hurry to get his brothers, Ron had taken Harry's homework with him. Harry stopped in front of Hermione.
"Hey Herm!" He said while trying to catch his breath. The Weasley brothers were fast, especially when they are angry.
"Hey Harry." She replied, exhausted by just watching the sight that lay before her.
"How was your day with Ron?" He pulled her over to the oversized chair they often shared. He grabbed her books and put them on the table in front of them, then took the blanket that resided over the back of the chair and slid it over their laps.
"I had a wonderful time. I hadn't expected it to be that way, but it was great Harry, really great." She had a far off look in her eye and a half smile on her face. Harry was glad, he hadn't seen her this happy in a long time.
"I have a confession to make Herm. I didn't have practice today."
"You didn't? Did you not want to go to Hogsmeade? You know, you don't have to lie, a simple 'I don't want to go' would have worked just fine."
"No! that's not it Herm. Ron wanted to go with you alone, and I guess he couldn't come up with any other way to tell you."
"Really? He wanted to go alone. with me? Why?" She leaned her head on Harry's shoulder, once gain gaining the sense of protection she often did when talking to Harry. Here, in the oversized chair with Harry, she felt like nothing could hurt her.
"I think that's rather obvious Hermione." He smiled. For someone who was often so smart, she could be awfully naive sometimes.
"You're just saying that because you know how I feel about him!" She lightly smacked Harry on the arm.
"Hermione, we've talked about this many times. Why won't you believe me that Ron likes you as much as you like him?"
"Because, after spending the day with him I always end up snuggling in this chair with you." She poked him in the side.
"Ouch Hermione! That hurts! After all the bickering I've listened to you do!" Harry pretended to be hurt.
"Oh stuff it Harry! You know you're the closest thing I have to a sibling! I'd be lost without you to complain to."
"I know." Harry smirked earning another smack from Hermione. He reached over and gave Hermione a hug. "What kind of brother would I be if I didn't make fun of my sister once in a while?"
"Thanks Harry. Speaking of sisters, I think I better go stop Ginny before she bounces herself out the window or something."
Ginny was still dancing around the common room. Harry smiled. He too had a great day with one of the Weasley clan.
"Ginny!!!" Hermione called to her closest female friend. "Watch out!" Hermione yelled to Ginny, but was a split second too late. She tripped and landed in the lap of Seamus Finnegan. Hermione ran over to the two, trying to control her laughter. The look on Seamus's face was priceless as Ginny fell into his un-expecting lap.
Harry shook his head at his friends. Leave it up to Ginny and Hermione to bring an innocent bystander into their charades. His gaze left the girls and fell upon the fire. Watching the flames dance about always made Harry think, and tonight was no exception. His mind wandered from subject to subject, and eventually paused on his day with Ginny. Harry smiled, he hadn't had as much fun in a long time.
His thoughts were quickly interrupted by another red headed friend. "Hey Harry, can I ask you something?" Ron walked over to Harry and pulled up the nearest chair.
"You just did, what's on your mind?"
Ron's face looked confused, but he answered anyway. "Do you think what happened today was a good thing?" He reminded Harry of a tiny child, asking if he did something wrong.
"Yes. Why wouldn't it be?"
"I dunno, I really like her and everything.its' just I haven't been able to tell her how I feel. I'm afraid of what she'll say. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do."
"I know, just trust me. You've got to tell her how you feel, or you might loose her completely." Ron glanced over at Hermione and Ginny who were waving goodbye to Seamus as they went up to the girls dorm.
"Yea. Ok."
Their conversation quickly moved from that of girls to quidditch and the muggle soccer match Harry took Ron to while staying at the Burrow.
Meanwhile, up in the Hermione's dorm room, the conversation was not that much different than that taking place downstairs.
"I can't believe Ron actually took you to Hogsmeade.ALONE!" Ginny squeaked excitedly at Hermione while sitting down on her bed.
"You wouldn't believe how wonderful it was!" Hermione said as she flopped down next to Ginny.
"I honestly didn't think he had it in him! Ok, you have to tell me every detail. Well, maybe not every detail, he is my brother, but you know what I mean. You have to tell me every sister-friendly detail!" Ginny was almost more excited than Hermione, for she was now jumping up and down on the bed.
"No, I don't think so.you tell me first!" Hermione grabbed Ginny by the bottom of her shirt so she sat down on the bed again. "I can't believe you spent the day with Harry! You're usually so shy around him. What happened?"
"Nothing really. I just happened to run into Harry as I was fleeing from the nasty spider that decided to make its home in my shoe. He was so brave, my knight in shining armor even killed it!" Hermione laughed at Ginny's remark about Harry's braveness.
"Knight in shining armor hardly! Try funny looking guy in a green sweater." She was still laughing as a rouge pillow flew and hit her in the face. Like any other red-blooded teenager, Hermione's first response was to pick up the nearest pillow and throw it back at Ginny. This blew up into an all out pillow war between the two girls. They must have been lauder than they thought because a few minutes later Harry and Ron came bursting in the room.
"What's going on? Are you too alright?" Ron was panting as he opened the door.
"We heard screaming!" Harry ran into the room behind Ron only to be hit square in the nose with a pillow.
"What?" Harry quickly surveyed the situation, picked up the pillow off the floor and threw it back at Hermione who was happily jumping up and down on the bed. From that moment on it was boys versus girls. Eventually, the boys gave up, the girls kept stepping on them while jumping around the bed to get away.
"I'm hungry." Hermione announced, still bouncing even though she had sat down.
"Me too," Ron said, face flushed from all the pillow fighting. "Lets go!"
The four walked down to the great hall for dinner, smiling. They had just had the most fun any of them had had in a long time, and were glad to have such great friends.
A/N I know the end is kind of sappy, but honestly...if that had been your day today how would you feel? If i actually had friends that i could be that close with, thats how i would feel...i think. Anyway, remember; Great cheese comes from happy cows, happy cows come form California. (those are the best commercials!) TTFN!
