Chapter 6 ~ Work!
~ The house elf rushed her down to Hagrid's hut. She followed her guide to the back of his house. It was there that she found two of her Prof.'s standing over a two yr. old mountain pony. She strode over to them. "What's the problem?" she said when she had reached the two elders. "I don' know I jus' can't figure it out I was hoping that ya' would know what the problem is." "Let me take a look." Daine moved herself closer to the pony. Mind speaking so it was a little less confusing to the teachers she asked the young mare 'what's wrong?' The pony tossed her head before saying 'I'm pregnant what do you think.' She laughed out loud and looked at the mare's belly. 'How could I not have guessed.' Still smiling she turned to the Prof.'s "this mare is pregnant. Her own pen and some sweet hay will help her." "Pregnant?" said Hagrid "how could I not have guessed that. "Because she's only in the first stage, there's nothing that you can really do about her pain except for comfort her. One thing though when she is giving birth will you call me I can ease the pain then?" Hagrid nodded very happy that he had a student who understood animals. "You see Daine, this year you and you fellow students will be learning to ride" Said Prof. McGonnagal "we need these ponies able to ride by then." "If you're worried about the mare not being able to be ridden while pregnant than stop worrying all ponies, horses and so on can still be ridden while pregnant." 'I would prefer not to' came the mare's stubborn voice, 'but I will.' "Now if you will excuse me I have work to do." Daine left the pen smiling. She was always happy when she could help. She started to make the trek back up to the castle. ~
~ Daine heaved air as she finally reached the Gryffindor common room. She had run almost all the way from Hagrid's hut back up to her rooms. She sputtered the pass word and walked in through the opening. She ran up her stair case into her room. She walked over to her bed and picked up to notices that had to be read and responded to. She also had to report on the actions of Brokefang. She picked up her quill as she left the room and some extra parchment. She sat down at one of the many work tables. She picked up the first notice and read. ~
~ Harry smiled as he talked to Ron. He wasn't actually listening to him but he was thinking of Daine. He didn't know why but he really, really liked her and it wasn't just for her good looks. Ron was droning on about the Chudley Cannons. Harry would occasionally nod his head or snap out of his trance long enough to state his own opinion. He just couldn't pay attention to R on right now. Harry looked at his watch. "You guys it's an hour and ½ till dinner I got to go." He stood up very thankful for a reason to leave. He found Hermione talking to Lavender Brown. " 'Mione it's time for our lesson" he said as he walked up. "What lesson Harry" said Lavender. "Oh it's nothing important Lavender." He walked off. Hermione excused herself and followed Harry. "Let's go I really want to learn this." ~
Disclaimer: This is probably going to be my shortest chapter but since it's so short you can move on to the next one quickly. Aren't I nice. Ecleast there's one upside to short chapters. Okay so R&R and I will do many more chapters. I wrote more chapters in a notebook already so this will be posted very often. Luv ya. TTYL.
