Crazy Thing Called Love
Chapter 5
Being Cocky
Elyzabeth's inexperience was soon forgotten, by Hermione and they went off to Herbology. But the boys were all thinking the same thing you know what I am talking about.
Herbology class was usual Hermione answering most of the questions then Professor Sprout asked an extremely hard question.. "What is the amount a trigluide can a Trig produce?" everyone was dumbfounded all looking at Hermione who didn't know. The professor decided to pick on someone.
"Miss Snow, would you care to grace us with your answer?"
Without looking up showing any sign of any kind of expression she said "Four thousand pounds." The whole class just stared.
Hermione leaned over "Is that in our book?"
"No, my dad told me once." Said Elyzabeth "It's in his book. I have a copy of his latest actually if you want it."
"Yeah!" said Hermione excitedly. She thought FINALLY SOMEONE WITH MORE THAN JUST A HALF A BRAIN!! She liked this new challenge. She found a new friend in Elyzabeth.
Next was break time in the Common Room or wherever you pleased. Harry, Ron, and most of the Gryffindor boys were playing wizard's chess.
"Who do you think will make the quidditch cup this year?" asked Neville.
"Cannons," said Charlie Watson a fellow fifth year.
"The eagles will make it as well." Said Neville.
"The Eagles! Please I could play better." Said Ron.
"Yeah sure Ron, you just wait and see. Who do you think almighty smart one?"
"The Hawks."
Neville and the other boys started laughing. "Ron they didn't even make the playoff's last year!" said Harry cracking up.
"You wait and see they will have their comeback." Said Ron. "Eric Robinson is going to come back! He is amazing!"
"Please just another regular seeker. Harry is better. Are you thinking of making quidditch your profession?"
"Not sure I kind of want to work for the Ministry."
"You'll have to make prefect next year." Said Neville.
"I will don't you worry." Changing the subject "Have you guys seen the posters for the dance?"
"Yeah the welcome back dance four years and up. Sounds like fun that is if you pick the right girl." Said Charlie elbowing Ron. "You taking Hermione."
"Maybe" he said trying to hide the fact that he was dying to.
"If you don't tell me I kind of want to ask her, either her or Emily Jacobs or that new American girl. I always had a thing for blondes." Said Charlie.
"Please, pretending you've had a date before." Said Harry.
"Like someone should be talking. Who you taking Harry?" said Ron.
"I have someone in mind."
"Care to share?"
"Miss Snow should be falling for my charm pretty soon."
"Yeah right." Said Neville rolling his eyes. Ever since last year Harry had been getting just a little bit cocky about girls.
"Let's go to lunch guys." Said Charlie.
The four of them walked down the great hall to find Hermione was talking to Elyzabeth.
"Go work your charm Potter." Said Neville wanting to see if he'd chicken out.
Harry walked over to the two whispering girls and joined their conversation. "Hello ladies, How are you?"
"Fine and yourself Harry?" said Hermione. Then before he knew it she was taking him down the hallway and he was going farther and farther from Elyzabeth. She pushed in a classroom. "When is Ron going to ask me to the dance??"
"I don't know!" said Harry a little irritated. "Go ask him"
"Sorry Harry its just he is driving me nuts! Who are you going to ask?"
"I have a few ladies lined up."
"Stop being so darn cocky Harry Potter!"
"I am not cocky just confidant."
"You just wait Harry being overly confidant isn't always a good thing."
"Why is that? I happen to think more people should think this way."
"Heard you like Elyzabeth?"
"News travels fast."
"Yeah when you are reading in the corner of the Common Room and you over hear a conversation."
"So you heard the part about Ron?"
"Yep and about you and Elyzabeth, just watch out she's no dummy she could step all over that ego of yours Harry."
"I think I can take care of myself." He said walking out of the classroom.
