Chapter 3: What's Love?
Ron sat at the end of the Gryffindor table with Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas and Neville Longbottom, looking at his empty plate hungrily. Hermione sat on the other end with Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. Harry andGinny sat in the middle of the table with some of Ginny's Fifth year friends. Harry personally thought they were extremely annoying and much too giddy.
Neville punched Ron lightly on the arm. "Ron...you were drooling...." He said, giggling like mad.
Ron sat up quickly, brushing hair from his eyes. "Uhhhhh....sorry..." He stared back down at his plate and his heart plummeted.
"Ron what's wrong mate? You look...er...distressed." Seamus said, grinned from ear to ear.
Ron looked up and shot Seamus a death glare. "Oh shove it Seamus..." He kicked him under the table. Seamus recoiled slightly and flinched. "That bloody hurt... Ickle Ronnie--" He stopped, getting kicked again.
Parvati and Lavender kept poking Hermione. "Hermione...?" Lavender squeaked, being her normal, annoying, barbie-doll self.
Hermione squeaked,her head in her arms so that only her bushy hair could be seen. She was upset. I love Ron more than anything and he is being...so....so....soo..., Hermione thought, UGH! He's scrambled my brains. I love the way he protects me and wrinkles his nose when he's mad.... WHAT AM I THINKING?! She scolded herself in her mind as fresh tears streamed down her cheeks.
Harry felt so angry at Ron that he felt like jumping up and kicking the wall as hard as he could. Wait? Why waste this anger on Ron. "I'll just give him a good kick up the arse!" He said, more loudly than he meant to.
Ginny looked at him, quite alarmed. "Harry? Give who a good kick up the arse?" She said very VERY sternly. But just then Dumbledore stood up.
Hermione put on her prefect badge quietly, careful to hide her face. She pointed her wand at her face. "Actotisa Monolisea!" She whispered and lowered her robes from her face. It was no longer red and puffy and there were no more tears. She smiled, looking up at Dumbldore as he began speaking.
As the first years approached nervously to the stage, Dumbledore smiled, his blue eyes twinkling. "Now before the sorting begins," He started as McGonagall set the sorting hat and the stool in front of the Teacher's Table. "All first years note the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to all students." His eyes traveled over to Harry for a second. "Secondly, a new list of forbidden--er--'toys' are in Caretaker Filch's office. The list now concludes...seven hundred items? Yes...yes..." He flinched slightly. "Lastly...Quidditich matches and practices are back on. Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw house teams will stay in this Hall after everyone else leaves for their new captains' names. That is all. Sorting time." He said, with a slight grin, he sat back down.
"When I call your name, you will step forth, I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your house." McGonagall said, picking up the hat and calling the first name off a piece of parchment.
"Terrant, Shaun."
A small, skinny boy with brown hair and eyes stumbled foreword as McGonagall set the hat on his head, he sat on the stool. It had barely touched his head when:
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat had shouted.
Ron hissed loudly at Shaun Terrant as he sat beside Draco Malfoy at the Slytherin Table.
"Grint, Elizabeth."
A skinny, short girl with brown hair, green eyes and glasses stepped foreward and the hat was set on her head as she sat down. The hat took it's time when:
"GRYFFIDOR!"
Elizabeth smiled and sat beside Ron at the Gryffindor Table. She smiled at him and he smiled back. She looked back up at the sorting.
"Radcliffe, Krystin"
A thin, tall girl with dark hair, brown eyes and braces sat on the stool with the hat on her head. The hat touched her head for a moment and shouted:
"RAVENCLAW!"
Krystin shot a look at Elizabeth, they were good friends. She seated herself next to Cho Chang at the Ravenclaw Table.
The sorting continued and ended with "Zaxby,Brent!" and food magically appeared. Elizabeth let out a gasp that Ron heard. Apparently she was muggle-born.
After dinner, everyone except the Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw Quidditich Teams headed up or down to their common rooms.
"Ahem..." Madam Hooch said loudly and the teams fell quiet."When I call your captains of your team you will head up to your common rooms as soon as possible! Okay. First the Slytherins. The captain is.." She scanned the parchment. "Draco Malfoy." The Slytherin team clapped and they headed towards their dungeon common room. "Ravenclaw's captain is..."She scanned it again "Surprise surprise...Miss Cho Chang." The Ravenclaw team clapped loudly and left for their common room. "Alright...finally Gryffindor." She smiled a rare smile. "Your captain is..." She scanned the parchment and scratched her fly-a-way hair. "Oh...but of course. Mr. Ronald Weasley." Everyone clapped but Harry and they headed for the common room.
