"Get up 'Mione! Get up!" Jasmine exclaimed gleefully while jumping up and down on the bed. Hermione jumped up quickly and not quite knowing what was the matter, tried to get out of the bed as fast as she could. Just as she tried to place her feet on the floor to stand up, they got tangled up in the bedsheets and she fell flat on her face.
"Good going Grace." Parvati threw at her playfully. Lavendar snickered along with her, "Yeah, we never knew you took gymnastics."
Hermione looked up at them with a scowl and silently dismissed them, for she didn't want to make a scene in front of the child on her first day with her. "Are you okay, 'Mione? I didn't mean to scare you, it's just that that's the only way me and Jamie..." Jasmine stated.
"Jamie and I" Hermione corrected.
Jasmine nodded her appreciation. "That's the only way Jamie and I could wake up dad." she finished while trying to look innocent.
"That's quite alright. Yes, I am fine, thanks. Come on Jasmine, you need a bath." Hermione informed her as she realized that they both actually needed one. Hermione smiled sleepily while helping her off the bed.
"Can I have lots of bubbles? I love bubbles! Daddy always lets me have lots of bubble." Jasmine exclaimed happily.
"Only if you promise that you won't jump on the bed anymore, okay?" Hermione gently asked the child as they head towards to bathroom. "Okay, I promise." Jasmine states as Hermione draws her bath water.
~~~
Harry, Ron, Neville, Dean and Seamus all got the shock of their lives first thing in the morning as they were waking up. Just as Harry opened his eyes, he saw Jamie leap at him from the window. "Look dad, I'm flying!" He landed on top of Harry with a sickening thud and a startled cry came from both of them. Jamie lie on Harry's chest barely moving and except for him breathing and a slight sob, you would have thought he had passed out. Harry quickly sat up and regretted it immediately for Jamie howled in pain as he grabbed his shoulder.
Harry's protective instincts kicked into overdrive and he sprinted out of the room and towards the hospital wing. He got many curious stares from fellow classmates for he was only wearing his pajamas, but he just ignorred them. He quickly burst through the doors and startled Madame Pomphrey. She hurried over to him and immediately started tending to the boy.
~~~
Hermione grasped Jasmine's hand as they walked down the stairs to the commonroom. She quickly noticed that it was empty and decided to go to the Great Hall for breakfast. She figured Harry and Ron were already there and Jasmine couldn't wait to tell Jamie about something. When they arrived at the hall, Hermione instantly noticed that something wasn't right. 'Where's Harry?' she thought. It was just as they were sitting down that she overheard what had happened this morning from Seamus. Jasmine started to cry and Hermione put her arms around her to calm her. "Eat something and then we'll go see him, okay?" Hermione gently prodded, but secretly wanting to run to the hospital wing as well.
As Jasmine finished her bowl of oatmeal, Hermione packed a few things away for Harry and Jamie for breakfast. They quickly got up and went out into the hall, not saying a word to anyone. Jasmine reached up for Hermione's hand and gently squeezed it as they approached the hospital wing door and opened it.
"Jasmine! Look at what I got! Isn't it great? Ron gave it to me this morning! He says it's the same one he learned on too!" Jamie exclaimed as he held up his prize proudly to his sister.
"Ron! After what I heard went on this morning, I thought you would know better than that! A broom!? How could you?" Hermione spurted out angrily. Ron started to answer back but thought otherwise, he really didn't want to start a full-fledge argument with her. Instead, he glared at her telling her silently that this conversation was not finished by a long shot.
"Just have him take it a little easy and not to put too much presure on that shoulder. He's lucky that he only dislocated it. It's going to be a little sore but he'll be just fine." Madame Pomphrey informed Harry as she adjusted Jamie's sling for his arm and looked him over one last time before she dismissed them. Jamie's stomache rumbled and he looked up at Harry. Hermione laughed along with Harry and Ron, while Jasmine poked him in the belly trying to make the sound again. She brought out the pastries and muffins that she had grabbed and gave them to the boys.
~~~
Harry glanced over at the twins and smiled at them asleep on the grass beside him. It was Saturday and classes wouldn't start until Monday so they had free time until then. They had went for a walk and decided to read by the lake. The twins had fallen asleep almost as soon as he had started reading to them. As he was replaying the events that had happened the past two days in his head, Hermione had approached him and sat down on the other side of him.
"Hello? Harry? Are you alright?" Hermione asked a bit irritated while waving her hand in front of his face.
"Huh, oh sorry Hermione. I'm fine, just thinking about what these two are up to now? I swear they are plotting to do something. They remind me of Fred and George but they would even give them a run for their money. It's probably better that they're separated when they go to bed, for they love to get you early in the morning. You've got the better one though, Jasmine's calm next to Jamie." Harry replied.
"I know exactly what you mean. She woke me up by jumping on my bed this morning. She's really sweet Harry. I did find out that she loves bubble bath though." Hermione told him as she arranged her books beside her. Harry smiled as she told him about the bubble bath, she did love it.
As Harry was watching Hermione reading, he never noticed two pair of eyes watching him intently. Hermione glanced up from her book awhile later and noticed that the twins were awake. They were staring at Harry and whispering to each other. Then both gasped as they realized that she was watching them and quickly nodded to each other while telling Harry that they were hungry.
Harry, Hermione and the twins packed up the books and headed to the Great Hall for dinner. As Harry sat down, Jasmine sat on the left of Harry and Jamie sat next to Ron on the other side of the table leaving only one place left, Hermione sat down on the right of Harry. Jasmine and Jamie grinned at each other and knew that their plan would work, they only had to find a way to know for sure if they liked each other, even if they didn't realize it.
After diner, they went up to the commonroom. Ron and Harry were teaching the twins how to play exploding snap as Hermione watched from over one of the books she was reading. Jamie was getting very excited because he had just started getting the hang of the game and was soon winning. Hermione noticed Jasmine yawning and told the boys that they were going to bed. Jasmine gave Harry a big hug and kissed him on the cheek as she said good night.
Hermione opened the door to her dorm and noticed that she wouldn't be getting to bed any time soon for Jasmine noticed that the other girls were applying make-up to each other and started getting excited. "Can I have some on too? Please?" She asked poutingly. They were only too eager to help and Hermione knew that there was nothing she could do to stop them.
After an hour of applying make-up and doing up her hair, Jasmine was finally tired. After Jasmine took her bath and laid down for bed did Hermione finally relax in the bathtub. Little did she know that Jasmine wasn't asleep nor in the girl's dorm.
