Chapter 3: Books and Bites
"The sun isn't up yet Harry! Go back to sleep!" Ron said as a yawn came out of his mouth.
"The sun is up Ron! Your eyes are still closed!" Harry said irritably. "We are the only ones in the Gryffindor tower."
"So?" Ron said. /I'm sleepy. So, I should sleep./
"Ron! It's your first breakfast in Hogwarts! You wouldn't want to miss that." Harry said, smiling.
"Ok! I'm up!" Ron scurried and in an instant, he was ready.
/Finally!/ Harry thought as he walked out the common room with Ron.
"Where's Hermione?" Ron asked as they made their way to the great hall.
"They have this other prefect meeting. It's that surprise thing in December again." Harry said, uninterested.
"Why is she a prefect?" Ron asked exhaustingly.
"Ron, isn't it obvious? She's smart, reliable, responsible, obedient and hardworking. How many times do I have to say that?" Harry replied with the same answer as before, but this time, he added frustration in his tone.
"I don't know. Until I completely wake up?" Ron said. He yawned again.
Harry didn't say anything. /I'll be so glad when Ron gets some food in his system./
----------
Meanwhile, in the history of magic classroom, the prefects gathered, waiting for the head boy.
"What are you doing here?" Malfoy asked Hermione abruptly.
"I'm a prefect." She said as she flashed her badge.
"You? A prefect? You're joking, right?" Malfoy said laughingly. /What is the world coming to?/
Hermione saw the badge on Malfoy. /He's a prefect? What is the world coming to?/ "You weren't in our last meeting." Hermione said in a question-like tone.
"Who cares about that meeting? I had to do stuff - you know - my usual terrorizing of students in the lower classes." Malfoy said with a smirk. "Your scar-head and weasel were at the top of my list."
"Why do you have to bother them? As far as I know, they've done nothing to upset you." Hermione said. She was trying to keep her voice moderate.
"That shows how little you know, Granger. Potter is famous because of a little scar on his little head and Weasley is a pitiful excuse for a pure-blood."
Hermione's anger began to show. /You are such a pain!/ "Why can't you admit that there are people who are actually better than you?"
"No one can be better than me, mudblood!" Malfoy said in disgust.
"You disgusting, miserable, pathetic swine!" Hermione said, almost shouting.
"Just bite me!" Malfoy said, his face turning red with hatred. He was about to continue his piece when the head boy came in. He looked at Hermione, loathing. /Just you wait, Granger! You're gonna take all that back!/
----------
Hermione went to the great hall. She was at the peak of her anger. Anyone who steps in her way will feel her wrath - and regret it. /How DARE he insult my intelligence, my best friend, my boyfriend and me! He is so going to take back everything he said!/
"Good morning Hermione!" Ron said enthusiastically. He was munching on his bread.
"Not good." Hermione said with a frown.
"What happened?" Harry asked sympathetically.
"You know what I just found out?" She said in bitterness. "Malfoy is a prefect!"
"What?!" Ron said in surprise. He looked at Harry in disbelief. "Harry! That ruins your whole smart, reliable, responsible, obedient and hardworking theory." He said in a mocking tone.
"Shut up Ron! How'd he get in the prefect circle Hermione? He's.. he's.. Malfoy!" Harry said in bolt from the blue.
"I don't know. But he's given me a bad start." Hermione said as she chewed on her food.
"What happened?" Ron asked. He was expecting a straight answer.
"I don't want to talk about it right now." Hermione said in dismay.
"C'mon Hermione! Tell us!" Ron asked again.
"Didn't you hear me the first time?" Hermione was getting even more hot-headed.
"But.." Ron said, dissatisfied. Harry elbowed Ron and shook his head vigorously. His eyes were saying, "Leave her alone Ron!"
/I'm her boyfriend! I have to know!/ Ron thought, with disappointment in his face. But he didn't say anything more.
----------
"Potions is FINALLY over!" Ron gave a big sigh of relief. "Snape was atrocious! And no one told me we were having this class with Slytherin!"
"Well, maybe if you read your entire schedule you wouldn't have looked so surprised to see Malfoy there." Harry said, half smiling. /Your surprised face reminded me of the first time we saw Aragog./
"Yeah. I guess so." Ron said mechanically.
"Hermione, I'm surprised! Snape asked a lot of hard questions and you didn't raise your hand to answer any of them." Harry said, turning toward Hermione, who hasn't said anything interesting since breakfast.
"Even if she did raise her hand, Snape wouldn't call her." Ron said, also turning to Hermione. "Right Hermione?"
"Right." She answered automatically. /I really don't care about that./
"Babe, something's wrong with you. Could you just tell me?" Ron asked as he remembered their little talk in the great hall.
Hermione remained silent. /I am not telling him! It would just permeate trouble./
Harry looked at Ron. His eyes were filled with immense forbiddance to continue the subject.
Ron noticed that but, being as stubborn as he was, he continued. "Hermione, c'mon."
Hermione couldn't take it anymore! First Malfoy, then Snape, then her own boyfriend! "RON WHAT DID I TELL YOU BEFORE?" she roared.
"WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DISTANT? I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" Ron roared back.
Hermione chucked her books at the sudden response of Ron. /If you just knew what he said../
"WATCH IT! I was walking there, mudblood!" Malfoy shouted, unaware of the quarrel. Apparently, he was almost hit by the books Hermione threw.
Harry shook his head in dismay. /Number 80 is heating up. Malfoy has joined in. And I'm not their only audience./
"HOW DARE YOU!" Ron said toward Malfoy. His argument with Hermione just went out of his head when Malfoy said 'mudblood.'
"What are you going to do about it?" Malfoy listlessly said.
Ron pulled his wand out of his pocket. He was ready to cast a spell, when..
"Sureversia!" Malfoy said immediately.
Ron suddenly felt a sharp pain run through his back. Then it entered his head. The next thing he knew..
"Ron!" Hermione screamed as he collapsed. She fell down on her knees and tried to wake Ron up.
"You knocked him out!" Harry shouted at Malfoy. "Malfoy! You wretched.."
"You will pay for this!" Hermione cut in Harry's sentence. She got up and pulled out her wand.
"Walgeret!" She shouted at Malfoy.
"Roiemesa!" Malfoy said just as she shouted her spell.
A ball of red light shot out of Hermione's wand. It circled Malfoy, lifted him from the ground and flung him to the wall.
Malfoy picked himself up. His whole body was hurting. He looked at Hermione; the sparks of light that came out of his wand was stinging Hermione's arm.
"Eochemand!" she shouted. A shield was formed to prevent the sparks from getting to her.
"Arsonra!" Malfoy said. A blue flame burned Hermione's screen then formed a blazing circle around Hermione.
"Limandeque!" The blue flame rapidly died down. That voice came out from nowhere.
Hermione and Malfoy turned to see who cast the charm and to their surprise, it was Professor Snape.
/Oh my god!/ Hermione thought when she realized what she had just done.
/Oh my god!/ Malfoy thought when he saw the damage he created.
"Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger! I am astonished! Both of you come with me please!" Professor Mcgonagall said in complete incredulity.
"Mr. Potter, take Mr. Weasley to the hospital wing." Prof. Snape said unconcernedly.
Harry nodded. /Number 80 has definitely reached the authorities./
I made up the charms. Sorry if they sound dumb.
