Wow I know what your saying.... two reviews in one day?!? Whats going on?
Well I just got a lovely review from Zenin (my first reviewer) after only
twenty minutes up so I felt inspired to keep going.... I have nothing to do
today anyway (damn the flu) Hope you like! Please review!
Nope, still not mine!
Well the summer/winter cleanout went off 'without a hitch' as Lavender so elegantly put it later that morning putting five new shirts and a pair of pants away in her drawers. Parvati agreed whole-heartedly, but Hermione sighed and fell back onto her bed utterly exhausted. What transpired today was nothing short of pure adulterated 'girlie' madness! After breakfast, everyone went their separate ways in a mad rush to get finished before they were to meet with their loads in the courtyard in an hour. Hermione, urged by Lavender and Parvati, locked the door; blushing, clicked her tongue and swore if anyone did she, as Head Girl would definitely see that they got detention. Then they got down to work. Having been roommates for the last seven years, the girls just had not shame left, having seen eachother numerous times in their skivvies. It was the fact that Lavender and Parvati just went mental! Clothes were flying everywhere, shrieking and giggling and complimenting flying accross the room as they asked opinions, even Hermione was a little shocked.
When the hour was up, they charmed the clothes they no longer wanted so that they fight in one bag and headed down to the courtyard; bumping into Ron and Harry (dirty from a particularly gruelling Quidditch practice) heading up to have a shower. Hermione gave them a pleading look but all the boys could do was grin and walk back to the common room. There was no breaching the impenetrable forcefield that was Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, who having finally won Hermione over had no plans on letting her back out.
In the courtyard, the other five were waiting for them and a scene similar to the one in the Seventh Year Girls Dormitory played out again. In the end, Hannah got off with the best deal and Ginny the worst - 'Your just too tall Gin!' - and Hermione faired pretty well, nearly getting her arm lost. When a fight broke out over Hermiones old white turtleneck, she almost packed it up and went back to the castle, but the others urged her that they'd be good and continued.
Now, having put her stuff away she sighed and thanked Lavender and Parvati for 'inviting her along'. Maybe a little upset that Hermione didn't want to spend the REST of the Saturday with the, them said by and continued to 'ohh' and 'ahh' over their new clothes.
Finding Harry and Ron, talking with Neville at a table, she made her way over and sat down at the vacant chair.
"Well?" they all looked at her expectantly, "How did it go?"
"It was brutal! Please remind me again how I get myself into these things?" she groaned and the boys laughed. Harry reached over and hugged her by the shoulders as Ron reached accross the table and tousled her hair, earning him a scowl.
"Poor ickle Hermie! Even Head Girls can make bad decisions!" Ron chuckled heartily and she just gave him a look and a sarcastic laugh. She also shrugged off Harry's well meaning hug.
"Say can we go do something 'normal'? Visiting Hagrid for instance?" Hermione offered, trying to get off the topic of her ill decision and Ron and Harry nodded.
"Do you want to get something to eat?" Ron asked her, as he made his way to her side... a little too quickly Harry noticed, grinning. Neville did too and exchanged a look with Harry before saying goodbye and heading upstairs.
"No I m not that hungry?" she answered and grinned, taking a few candies from her pocket which shed managed to smuggle from her room. Popping one in her mouth she offered one each to the other boys.
"God these blasted candies are addictive!" Harry said popping one in his mouth, as they made their way to the entrance hall.
"Yeah but I cant eat them at home" she answered, "I gotta get them in here while I can!"
"Ahh! Great blackmail material. Put one step out of line Granger and dear old dentist mum and pop will be getting a very interesting e-mail!" Ron, grinned menacingly and Hermione playfully punched him in the arm. She grinned and went right close to his face, pointing a finger almost directly on his nose "You - wouldnt - dare!" but he just grinned cheekily. Harry thought he saw something more than friendly teasing exchanged in their eyes that moment.
"You wouldn't dare!" she bantered, her eyes narrowing and Harry stepped in. He was beginning to feel uncomfortable with the sudden closeness and eye gazing his two best friends were doing just now.
"Okay! Enough you two!" and they stepped outside into the fresh September air. They made their way over to Hagrids hut, carefully avoiding the large mud puddles littered around the yard from the storm which happened yesterday.
Knocking once or twice and with no answer, the three locked at eachother and shrugged. Then a note was slipped under the door. In Hagrids familiar sloppy writing it said:
Harry Ron Hermione Sorry. Cant meet today. Got some unexpected business to attend to today. How about tomorrow. Same time? See you then Hagrid
Looking peculiarly, Hermione bent down and looked under the door.
"Hello?" she called, speaking under the door. "Hagrid?" No answer.
"Thats weird? Who slipped the note under the door then?" Ron asked, puzzled as he attempted to stand on tiptoe and peer through the tiny window beside the door.
"Sorry! Not today!" a voice came from far inside, unmistakably Hagrids.
"Hagrid? Anything wrong?" Harry called loudly. Hermione stood straight again.
"Nope. Can you come back tomorrow?" he asked, politely.
The three looked at eachother and grinned. "Sure Hagrid.... see you tomorrow then"
They made their way back to the castle.
"So what do you want to do now?" Ron asked, his hands in his pockets and looking up at the imposing turrets.
"I need to get something from the library" Hermione piped up and both boys groaned.
"Hermione we wasted almost two hours of a perfectly wonderful Friday night with you in the library last night looking for a potion, we are not going to do it again!" Harry chuckled and Ron agreed.
"Please!! I need to get one for Arithmancy. Im starting the Spring assignment early" she said, trying not to meet her two friends eyes. They both exchanged bored glances "And its not like you had anything to do last night anyway!" she exclaimed, turning so that she was facing the two of them, waking backwards. "Plus we dont have anything else to do" She added. Both of them were really adamant about saying no but then she did it. 'It' being, big chocolate puppy dog eyes and poutty lip. Both of them groaned, knowing full well that neither of them could possible be so cruel as to say no to her when she did that. Seven years of friendship clearly put Ron and Harry in a big brother situation with Hermione and both were pretty much in aggreeance that they would do anything to keep her happy. Harry looked to Ron, wondering if that blush was in annoyance or if he was melting. Hermione sure did look cute when she blushed, Harry thought, then brushed it off. 'No way! Totally platonic! I didnt say that' and he shook it off.
"Fine! Hermione we'll go. If we didnt youd probably give us detention anyway!" Ron said.
"Hey! Your on your own! Head Girl cant give Head Boy detention... I checked!" Harry grinned.
Hermione looked pleased and squealed, totally unexcpected by Ron and Harry.
"Sorry!" she said sheepishly and smiled. Then she turned around, but because she had still been walking backward and because the ground was still soft from yesterday, she tripped over her foot.
Both boys, reflexes honed from Quidditch, reached out to grab her but too late. Hermione did a huge, clumsy nosedive into a puddle of mud.
Nobody moved for a moment. When Hermione looked up, face covered in mud she looked absolutely mortified. Seeing she was not hurt, and exchanging quick glances with eachother they burst into hysterical laughter. So funny in fact, both were doubled over in tears as Hermione helped herself out of the mud. Clearing as much mud as she could from her face and her outfit, she looked appalled at her two so-calle best friends. Mustering all her self control, she put her hands on her hips and tapped her foot roughly, something she did when angrily; and waited for their laughter to subside.
As Ron and Harry rubbed the tears from their eyes, she exploded.
"Do you really think its funny?!?" she shrieked, and Harry and Ron couldn't help but nod.
"Im sorry Hermione, but its just.... your not hurt....and the look on your face.... its just" Ron stammered through the deep breaths he attempted to take to ease his laughing fit.
Hermione just huffed indiginantly, narrowed her eyes and turned sharply on her heel towards the door.
Both boys looked terrified. The wrath of Hermione Granger was not something to be taken lightly. They bolted after her.
"Hermione! Hermione! Come back! We're sorry! Really?" Harry called after her, all humour gone from him and Rons face. Herione got so angry sometimes and it was just difficult to fix. He hoped that they could solve the problem before it got too out of hand.
Reaching the front entrance and up to the main corridor was how far Hermione had gone before Ron grabbed her shoulder her, forcing her to look at them. The hall was crowded and Harry noticed that a lot of people were trying to stifle chuckles when they realised that the girl covered in mud was indeed the head girl.
"Hermione we're SORRY! Really sorry! How can we make it up to you!?" Ron was frantic to Harrys surprise.
"Really?" she said angrily, "and how would you propose you do that?" She demanded.
Ron thought for a second and then turned around admirably. The entrance was still crowded as many had stopped, to say they had witnessed an infamous Hermione/Ron row.
Ron cleared his throat and then much to the surprise of Harry and Hermione, Ron climbed up on the think banister and shouted in a loud clear voice "Oi! Everyone! Im Ron Weasly! I just wanted to let it be clear to the entire student body", and he gestured to the growing crowd grandly, "that I am an insufferable great prat!" Everyone giggled and Hermione tried to urge that he come down, tugging at his robes and hissing that he was making a big scene and she would take off house points. But as Harry looked on in humorous admiration Ron continued.
"Hermione Granger is the grandest Head Girl in Hogwarts history" he shouted.
"And shes the hottest!" some anonymous voice, and everyone giggled. Hermione gasped and if she hadnt been covered in caked mud she would have been blushing. Ron himself was blushing but also grinning, "Hey! Watch your mouth young man! But that indeed she is! Even covered in mud!" he replied as Hermione urged him to come down and stop embarrassing her. He jumped down and then kneeled in front of her and kissed a mud-caked hand. Hermione looked around frantically, as many girls in the crowd cooed and crooned; but then couldnt help but stifle a giggle. He looked up at her and winked.
'Ah! Why does he always do this! That grin! Makes my feet go numb. When did it start to go like this' Hermione thought and forgot completely about the gathering crowd.
"So am I forgiven?" he asked.
She hesitated but then nodded grinning. "But I still might take house points away for not helping the Head Girl out of the mud" she answered, ,winking back herself. "Now Im going to have a showered before it dries too much." and she tore off up the stairs, leaving the two boys behind.
She was oblivious to the puzzled stairs of the other students, out of their common rooms to enjoy possibly the last nice day of the year, as she made her way up to the dormitory; her heart beating all the way and Rons flattering yet embarassing spectacle playing out in her mind the whole time.
