Chapter 4: Getting to classes
Harry slowly opened his eyes, and noticed that he wasn't at his own bed. Then the events of yesterday came flooding back into mind. He suddenly blushed, realizing that he had his left arm around Hermione, and Hermione had her head leaning on his chest. Their legs were entangled together. (A/N: Okay everyone, may I remind you that this fic is rated PG-13!) Harry considered pulling himself free from Hermione, but that'll cause her to wake up. Hermione suddenly stirred, and Harry sighed.
'Too late for that now,' he thought. Hermione opened her eyes and looked up at Harry. For a minute, she was blinking rapidly. Then her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Hermione pushed Harry and sat up. She was about to scream when she saw the handcuffs, and as realization dawned on her, she slapped her forehead. Then she smiled at Harry, who was looking at her with amusement.
"Good morning to you too, Harry," she smiled sweetly, then sticking her tongue out at him. Harry chuckled, then sat up too.
"What time is it?" he asked. Hermione looked at her bedside table, reached for Harry's glasses and handed it to him.
"It's about 7:00 in the morning," she replied, watching Harry put on his glasses. Then she got out of bed, pulling Harry with her.
"I need to take a shower," she said absentmindedly, but froze as soon as she said the words. Hermione turned to Harry, who looked stiff. Hermione looked at Lavender's bed, where her friend was sleeping with a content smile on her face. Hermione took a pillow from her bed and threw it at Lavender, who immediately sat up.
"5 more minutes mom!" she yelled before dropping back into her bed. Harry and Hermione shared amused looks. Hermione walked over to Lavender's bed, grabbed the pillow she threw at Lavender and hit her again on the head. This time, Lavender grabbed the pillow from Hermione and glared at her.
"Blimey, Hermione. Let me sleep!" she yelled. Hermione bit her lip to keep from laughing. Then, she got an idea. Hermione looked at Harry, winking at him, who raised an eyebrow. Hermione giggled.
"Lavender, if you don't wake up, I'm going to show Harry your shrine!" Hermione laughed when Lavender sat up immediately, looking at Harry, who was looking more and more confused by the minute.
"Okay, okay, I'm up," Lavender grumbled. She sat at the edge of her bed and looked from Hermione who was still giggling like mad to Harry.
"What do you need me for?" she asked. Hermione stopped giggling at once and looked at Harry nervously, who was looking uncomfortable himself. Finally, Harry broke the awkward silence.
"Hermione wants to take a shower," he mumbled, turning red. Lavender smirked.
"I'm sure we can figure something out," she said, going through her drawer to look for her wand.
"I don't trust Lav with that look of hers," Hermione whispered into Harry's ear, who silently agreed with her.

Hermione, Harry, Lavender and Ginny entered the Great Hall and joined Ron, who was happily munching on his own breakfast.
"About time you guys came," he said as soon as they took a seat with him. Lavender pecked Ron on the cheek before helping herself with food.
"It's Hermione's fault she wanted to take a shower and took half an hour on doing so," Ginny accused. Hermione shot a look at Ginny.
"Well, it's not exactly easy to take a shower when you can only use one arm to wash your hair!" Hermione snapped. Ginny held up her hands in defense.
"Calm down, Hermione! I was only kidding!" she giggled. Hermione ignored her as she bit on a muffin.
"You seem awfully quiet," Ron said to Harry, who hadn't said a word when they came from the common room.
"It's amazing what you learn from the girls in their dormitory," Harry said with a smile. Ron raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I learned that Lavender keeps a shrine. Of who, I have no idea. Hermione wakes up extra-early so she can have the bathroom to herself for a good half an hour, and Ginny picks a fight with Lavender on who's boyfriend is better," Harry grinned at Ron before popping a piece of bacon into his mouth. Ron's face was unreadable, but what he said next made Harry choke on his bacon from laughing.
"I gotta lock myself with Lavender someday," he said.

Harry and Hermione barely made it through Transfiguration that day, because when Professor McGonagall asked the students to demonstrate how to transfigure a desk into a pillow, Hermione raised her left hand, pulling Harry's right hand with her.
"This is quite a surprise," McGonagall said, looking at Harry's raised hand. "Mr. Potter, since when did you ever raise your hand in my class?" When Harry didn't answer, she just dismissed it.
"It's all right. Now, Mr. Potter, will you come up to the front and transfigure this desk-" McGonagall pointed to the desk in front of her, "- into a pillow?" Harry looked desperately at Hermione, who was biting her nails nervously, at Ron, whose ears were turning a brilliant shade of red, and at Lavender, was fidgeting. Harry looked back at McGonagall.
"Is it okay Professor if I just transfigured my desk instead?" Harry pleaded. McGonagall rolled her eyes. "Oh all right, then," she said. Harry slowly stood up, holding his wand with his right hand. Beside him, he can hear Hermione muttering instructions to him.
"Just point your wand at the desk, picture a pillow, and say 'Transfiguro'," she hissed at him. Harry nodded at her and did exactly what she said. A minute later, his desk was gone and was replaced by a pillow. McGonagall clapped her hands.
"Well done, Mr. Potter. You may sit down now," she said, waving her wand and Harry's desk came back when Harry sat, looking relieved. He turned to Hermione, who was smiling at him sheepishly.
"Next time, you use your RIGHT HAND to answer, okay?" Hermione smirked, but didn't say anything.
