Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
** Hermione walked into her dorm room and closed the door behind her. She looked at the sleeping figures of her other room mates. They were all sleeping soundly. Lucky them. she thought to herself. Ever since she and Harry stopped talking to each other, she couldn't get a good night's rest. She was still angry with Ginny for what she did, although she wasn't sure if she was still that angry. When Harry stopped talking to her, she saw everything she had seen as cute before as annoying and irritating. The stupid way he pushed up his glasses, the unruly hair, the lightning shaped scar on his forehead, the list went on and on. What did I see in him?
Lavender Brown stirred in her sleep. "Yes, mum. I will brush my teeth." She murmured.
Hermione rolled her eyes. Every once in a while, Lavender managed to wake them up in the middle of the night with her constant snoring and mumbling. Hermione went across the room and into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned. Her eyebrows were in dire need of fixing. She took out her wand, pointed to her face and muttered a few spells. There. Much better now.
As she was changing into her pajamas, she heard the door creak open. She looked at her watch. 11 pm. Who could that be? She pulled on her pants and went out the bathroom door. She looked at the door. It was closed. She felt a little scared. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. After standing glued to the spot for a few moments, she decided that it was just her imagination and went to bed.
As she lay down on the soft bed and sunk back into the pillows, she heard the pitter patter of little feet. Hermione froze. She was not going to move a muscle in case the thing in their room was deadly. She saw the silhouette of something small move through the room. Shit shit shit!!!! She thought to herself, panicked. She hardly dared to breathe at all.
Hermione felt part of her bed sink. Someone, or something was on her bed.
"Would the misses like a sponge bath?" said a voice.
Hermione sucked in her breath sharply. Her eyes darted back and forth on the bed to look for the owner of the voice. She saw a little dilapidated foot. Her heart was drumming and she could hear the rush of blood in her ears.
"Who- who's there?" she said weakly.
"It is I, miss." Replied the voice. "Is me."
Hermione was gaining more confidence now. She stared at the foot again. It was very near her left foot. "Show yourself." She said, and braced herself to see a hideous monster.
The creature showed itself. It had green eyes the size of tennis balls, a long, needle like nose and pointy ears.
Hermione let the breath that she had been holding for so long out slowly. It was only Dobby. She was about to scold him for scaring her until he saw his expression. He was looking at her in an odd sort of way. He was just staring at her with his weird little mouth agape.
Hermione suddenly thought of what it would feel like to have Dobby's ears on her neck. She kicked herself mentally. What was she thinking? It's Dobby, the house elf for Merlin's sake. She looked directly into his eyes. They were looking at her without the usual obsequiousness. They were looking at her with. . . with what?
With his eyes never leaving hers, he repeated the first thing he said. "Would the misses like a sponge bath?"
Lust. That was it. That was the gleam in Dobby's eyes. Hermione felt panic rise in her again but it quickly died down to her surprise. "Dobby. . . " she whispered.
Dobby went forward a little but stopped.
"Come here, Dobby." Hermione said softly. She had a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Dobby inched even closer to her. He was a foot away from her.
"Closer, Dobby." She said. Her pulse was quickening. They way he looked at her made her feel funny. It also made her breath short. Oh my god. was all she could think.
Dobby walked on until he was mere centimeters away from her. He was looking at Hermione's neck. His bat-like ears perked up as he leaned in towards her neck. **
"F***!!! Stop it! THAT IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!!" Virginia screamed. She shuddered at the thought of what Dobby and Hermione could have done.
Parvati, who was sitting beside Virginia, was beside herself in shock. "What the hell did you do?! Didn't you even think for one millisecond that you were doing SOMETHING with an ELF???"
"I. . ." Hermione began.
"That was Dobby, for Merlin's sake! How the hell could you have been TURNED ON?!" Virginia shrieked.
"What, you saw his little stick of a nose and decided it looked like a PENIS? One he could just stick into YOU?" Parvati said disgust very obvious in her voice.
"EEEWW!!!!" Virginia cried, just as disgusted "Do house elves HAVE penises? No! Mustn't think about it!"
"Did you see IT? I mean, his thing?" Parvati said to Hermione, who was looking at them as if they've just found out some bad thing about her, which they did.
"N- no!" Hermione said, flustered.
"Okay, lemme guess. You didn't look at it because. . . he didn't have one!" Virginia said
"Ooh, ooh! I know! It was too small to be seen!" Parvati suggested.
"No! I did not!" Hermione cried as she tried to defend herself.
"Don't listen to her, Parv." Virginia said. "She probably told Dobby to just stick it in 'cause he got her all worked up and that if he didn't, she'd take him by the neck and do it herself." Parvati made a face.
"No! Stop! I did NOT have sex with a house elf!" Hermione said indignantly. She looked angrily at Parvati and Virginia, who were eyeing her skeptically. She sighed.
** The minute Hermione felt the osculation of Dobby on her neck and his ears on her jaw, her brain finally registered. Her eyes snapped open and she sat straight up. **
"Then what happened?" Virginia asked, when Hermione stopped telling the story. She looked at Hermione, who started giggling. What the hell? she thought.
"Well? Tell us what happened!" Parvati said impatiently.
More giggles from Hermione.
Parvati and Virginia gave each other exasperated looks.
"I threw him off the bed." Hermione finally said, and was overcome by fits of giggles.
"You what?!" Parvati and Virginia cried in unison.
"I threw him off the bed.' Hermione answered simply.
"You mean you just flung him off the bed?" Parvati said, and made a swinging motion. She still did not believe what she just heard.
"Yup!" Hermione replied. She stopped giggling now, but was still trying to keep a straight face. "When he hit the glass of the window, he panicked, started apologizing non stop then fled."
Virginia and Parvati were speechless as they stared at Hermione.
"I cannot believe you did that!" Virginia cried. To Virginia, Hermione was the girl who always did what was in the rule book. The straitlaced, anal girl.
"Well, I did." Hermione said and smiled at them smugly.
"If you say so. . . " Parvati said a singsong voice. She still wasn't quite convinced.
"I told you already, I did!" Hermione cried. Why didn't anyone believe her?
"Okay. . ." Parvati replied.
Virginia was quiet. She still didn't get why of all the people, Hermione would talk to them, and tell them about THAT. That thing that happened. She turned to Hermione, who was sitting cross legged in front of her and Parvati on the carpeted floor of their room. "Tell me, Hermione. Why tell us what happened? Why not anybody else? Lavender. . . Kisses. . . Anna. . ."
"But. . . I'm not close to any of them!" Hermione replied.
Parvati and Virginia raise their eyebrows. "Really? Then why do we always see you and Kisses together, if you're now with Harry and Ron?" Parvati said with scorn in her voice.
"Because. . . because she's nice and she'd fun to be with!" Hermione said looking down at the carpet.
"Uh huh." Virginia said. "Then why didn't you go to her and tell you little story? Why me and Parv? What good would it do for you if you told us?"
Hermione was crying. Virginia just looked at her coldly. "You're my closest friend." She sniffled. "Even closer that Harry and Ron. They're guys, for chrissake! I don't talk to them about anything THAT personal."
Virginia didn't know how to react. Inside, she was torn between making up with her or still feeling mad at her. "Why didn't you tell me you were with Harry?" she asked softly. She looked up and blinked rapidly to stop the tears that were threatening to spill.
"I. . . I don't know. I'm sorry." Hermione answered.
"If you were my closest friend, you would have told me." Virginia spat back. She was becoming angry now.
"I didn't tell you because I knew you liked Harry!" Hermione replied at once.
Virginia was quiet again. She didn't know what to say, what to feel, or how to act. She wished everything was back to the way it was, but at the same time couldn't help but feel relieved that everything was different now.
"I don't like Harry anymore." Virginia said. She looked at Hermione, who was looking at her in amazement. "What?"
"You don't like him anymore? Why not?"
"I dunno. I guess I just stopped liking him." Virginia looked at Parvati, who had put her arm over her shoulder and was smiling sadly at her. She smiled back.
"Well, I don't like him anymore either." Hermione said.
"Really?" Parvati said.
"Yeah. I find him annoying now. Everything I found so nice about him is now so. . . irritating. I think I'll have to thank you, Ginny, for doing what you did." Hermione smiled a bit at Virginia.
"It's Virginia." She replied at once. "And you don't have to thank me. I have to apologize to you for what I did. I guess I was stupid."
"Okay, Virginia. No, you don't. You're not stupid either." Hermione said. She leaned forward from her spot on the floor and looked at Virginia in the eye. "Truce?"
"No." Virginia replied. Hermione was taken aback. It wasn't the answer she'd been expecting.
"Friends." Virginia said, and smiled at her.
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "I'm so glad we're friends now." She said and hugged Virginia, who hugged her back.
"Okay, enough with the mushy stuff!" Parvati cried. "You're making me sick!"
Hermione and Virginia laughed. "Let's get something to eat!" Hermione said.
"Yay! Food! I'm so hungry!" Virginia said as she jumped up.
Down they went to the kitchens. It was late, almost midnight. They were up chatting the night away. When they finally went back to the dorms, it was past 3 am.
Over the next few days, the three were inseparable. They talked about everything in the sublunary sphere. It was mostly Virginia and Parvati who did the talking, since they were closer to each other than with Hermione. They had fun during the weekend, especially when they were in Hogsmeade.
Parvati, Virginia and Hermione all went together and shopped around. They had butterbeer, hunks of chocolate to gorge on, and pretty juicy news they got by eavesdropping on a conversation Pansy Parkinson was having with Millicent Bullstrode. They overheard the two of them talking about one of Pansy's bedmates. (A/N: bed mates=sex mate. Now you get my drift!) Something about the two of them planning a scandal in school and showing everyone they were together and having fun. They also had a nice time laughing at the outfit Pansy wore to Hogsmeade. All strappy stilettos with a micro mini skirt and blouse. Wait, handkercheif is more like it. Her top barely covered her. . . assets.
The three of them were in the Great Hall during lunch and talking. They were all eating salad, as part of the diet program they were trying out together.
"So, you taking a bath tonight?" Parvati said to Virginia casually.
Bath? What bath? She eyed Parvati quizzically.
Parvati gave her a meaningful raise of the eyebrows. OH!!! Virginia thought to herself. It was the one thing Parvati and Virginia didn't tell Hermione. The letter she had gotten from the mysterious someone. Bathroom Boy, they called him. (Presuming that it was a guy.)
"What are you talking about, Parvati?" Hermione asked, confused. "Of course she will take a bath tonight. It's unhygienic not to!"
"It's nothing, really, Hermione. But I will take a bath tonight." Virginia looked pointedly at Parvati, who nodded in acknowledgement.
When classes were over, Virginia was in the room she shared with Parvati walking around nervously. "Parv, what if something bad happens?" She said, and looked at Parvati, who was lounging on her bed while eating chocolates from Honeydukes.
"I'm sure it'll all be fine. Probably just some guy who's really interested in you."
"But. . . in a bathroom?!" Virginia replied. She was already feeling very uneasy about it.
"Well, chances are he'll pin you down and rape you or-"
"Parv! You're scaring me!" Virginia cried. She wrung her hands as she paced back and forth across the room.
"I'm just giving you the statistics!"
"Yes, but-"
"But nothing. It might happen. I said MIGHT. Now, where was I? Oh yeah. Chances are he'll rape you or, he just wants to talk in private. Very private."
Virginia gave an exasperated sigh. "Maybe I should just forget about it! Maybe someone's just trying to mess with me?"
"I don't think so."
"How can you be sure?"
"Well, you don't have any enemies in school. You're a good girl who gets good grades and has a good reputation with the teachers."
"You have a point there. . . "
"Yeah, I do. So get to it! I'm dying to know whoever sent you the letter is!" Parvati said as she started to get up from her position on the bed.
"Okay! I will!" Virginia said with conviction.
"There! Now, go! You never know, it just might be Blaise!" Parvati said.
Virginia perked up at the thought. "Ooh! Yeah! Ok, ok, I'm going!" She went out of the room and to the corridor, as said in the letter.
She stood outside the porthole portrait and said the password. The portrait swung open. "Right. I'm going in." she said to herself as she stood in front of the portrait hole. She entered cautiously. As she stepped in the prefect's bathroom, she was amazed. It was all so big! She saw shower stalls, rows and rows of cabinets containing all different kinds of toiletries and a jacuzzi somewhere near the end of the room. She squinted because she thought she saw someone sitting in it. She walked a few feet and to her surprise, there WAS someone sitting in the jacuzzi. A half naked guy sat immersed in water amidst all the voluptuous bath foam. She couldn't make out his face because it was dim.
"Hello?" she called out, hoping to see who it was.
"I've been waiting for you."

Down they went to the kitchens. It was late, almost midnight. They were up chatting the night away. When they finally went back to the dorms, it was past 3 am.

Bath? What bath? She eyed Parvati quizzically.
Parvati gave her a meaningful raise of the eyebrows. OH!!! Virginia thought to herself. It was the one thing Parvati and Virginia didn't tell Hermione. The letter she had gotten from the mysterious someone. Bathroom Boy, they called him. (Presuming that it was a guy.)
"What are you talking about, Parvati?" Hermione asked, confused. "Of course she will take a bath tonight. It's unhygienic not to!"
"It's nothing, really, Hermione. But I will take a bath tonight." Virginia looked pointedly at Parvati, who nodded in acknowledgement.
When classes were over, Virginia was in the room she shared with Parvati walking around nervously. "Parv, what if something bad happens?" She said, and looked at Parvati, who was lounging on her bed while eating chocolates from Honeydukes.
"I'm sure it'll all be fine. Probably just some guy who's really interested in you."
"But. . . in a bathroom?!" Virginia replied. She was already feeling very uneasy about it.
"Well, chances are he'll pin you down and rape you or-"
"Parv! You're scaring me!" Virginia cried. She wrung her hands as she paced back and forth across the room.
"I'm just giving you the statistics!"
"Yes, but-"
"But nothing. It might happen. I said MIGHT. Now, where was I? Oh yeah. Chances are he'll rape you or, he just wants to talk in private. Very private."
Virginia gave an exasperated sigh. "Maybe I should just forget about it! Maybe someone's just trying to mess with me?"
"I don't think so."
"How can you be sure?"
"Well, you don't have any enemies in school. You're a good girl who gets good grades and has a good reputation with the teachers."
"You have a point there. . . "
"Yeah, I do. So get to it! I'm dying to know whoever sent you the letter is!" Parvati said as she started to get up from her position on the bed.
"Okay! I will!" Virginia said with conviction.
"There! Now, go! You never know, it just might be Blaise!" Parvati said.
Virginia perked up at the thought. "Ooh! Yeah! Ok, ok, I'm going!" She went out of the room and to the corridor, as said in the letter.
She stood outside the porthole portrait and said the password. The portrait swung open. "Right. I'm going in." she said to herself as she stood in front of the portrait hole. She entered cautiously. As she stepped in the prefect's bathroom, she was amazed. It was all so big! She saw shower stalls, rows and rows of cabinets containing all different kinds of toiletries and a jacuzzi somewhere near the end of the room. She squinted because she thought she saw someone sitting in it. She walked a few feet and to her surprise, there WAS someone sitting in the jacuzzi. A half naked guy sat immersed in water amidst all the voluptuous bath foam. She couldn't make out his face because it was dim.
"Hello?" she called out, hoping to see who it was.
"I've been waiting for you."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
