Chapter 8: An Uncomfortable Seat and a Hogsmeade Adventure
Hermione walked down to the halls to where the carriages were waiting to Hogsmeade. She decided to try and find Ron and ask him what was up. She peered over the crowd of students apparently they were as anxious as she was to get outside. It had been a while since she smelled the lovely air that whipped around her as she walked. She spotted Ron his red hair standing out amongst the crowd. He seemed to be getting into a carriage by himself. Hermione quickly ran over to the carriage and was about to jump in when she noticed another occupant. Harry. He must have gotten in before Ron and she must have missed seeing him. He looked at her and she at him then was shocked out of her disbelief by Ron.
Cough, "So, Hermione? Are you going to come in?" He asked eager for her answer.
"Uh well I you see, this compartment is already to crowded for me," and as she finished saying that she waved goodbye to Ron and just glanced in Harry's general direction.
"But, hey Hermione its just me and Harry. The carriage seats six!!!!" shouted Ron but he was too late she was already gone toward another carriage. "What in the world? You know if we don't find this counter curse soon I think she is going to go crackers."
Harry just smiled gloomily and nodded. &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
Hermione ran away again! As she was silently scolding herself for acting like a bimbo she noticed that all the carriage doors were being shut she quickly ran to the nearest and jumped inside, just as the door was closing. She breathed a sigh of relief she seemed to be the only occupant. She was glad that she got to a carriage at all Colin Creevy was locked out begging for a door to open. Hermione knew a spell to open the door from the inside but he was just to annoying in reality. If she let him in he would most likely asked what happened between her and Harry earlier in the week and she could just not deal with it. Like she also couldn't deal with his camera by the time they got to Hogsmeade she would be blind.
Just then Hermione felt that the seat was a little squishy she squirmed a little finding it difficult to get in just the right position. She started bobbing up and down trying to get comfortable then she tried to elbow the chair in order to soften it. Suddenly she heard a gasp she quickly spun around and almost jumped right out of the speeding carriage's door.
"Ahhh!! Malfoy what the hell are you doing!?" she screeched backing into a corner.
Malfoy was turning blue apparently she had been sitting on him and when she attempted to elbow the seat well she hit him instead. Just then the carriage coasted to a stop, and Hermione gratefully got out. She hurriedly hopped out of the door feeling violated. Ewwww, I sat on Malfoy's lap oh my god ew, ew, ew, how did he get there!?
Malfoy sat with a grin on his face as he watched her run away. Soon, soon. Then he tried to get up and winced from a throbbing pain in his chest. Ugh, her elbow should be illegal. &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
Hermione met Victor out front of the Three Broomsticks and they both went in search of a good ice cream cone. They talked about numerous things Hermione's schooling and such. Through out the conversation Hermione kept a look out for Harry. She was praying that their paths would cross. She had already tried the make-yourself-look-good card now time for the jealousy approach.
What if Harry doesn't see me? Hermione thought while she and Victor Krum were walking down a street in Hogsmeade. Victor was talking about Quidditch; Hermione was only half listing. While he was talking about how his team beating the Ballycastle Bats only by ten points, Hermione was thinking of what to do or say if Harry saw them. Maybe I should act surprised or maybe guilty. I'm not good at this. Why did I decide to come here with Victor? Most of all he talks about is quidditch; it's like talking with Ron. I can't do this I'm too nervous. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Ron and Harry come out of a store. Oh God, here I go. Please, please let me get this right!
Hermione then tossed her ice cream over her shoulder hitting Pansy Parkinson right, square on the head. Pansy had been following them around ever since she spotted them walking past her and her gang of Slytherin's she still thought even though she was ugly she could score with Victor. Hermione smiled happily she hadn't tried to hit her but was truly happy that she had. She then grabbed Victor's arm and looked into his eyes.
When Ron and Harry came out of Zonko's joke shop, Ron noticed Harry freeze and stare looking completely shocked. Before Ron could ask, Harry started to stutter, "Ro.Ron is, is that who I think it is?"
"Who?" Ron asked, "Oh yeah isn't that Hermione?" Ron the looked closer and saw something he hadn't expected, she was with "Victor Krum, Victor Krum! Harry, what did you do to the poor girl?" Ron demanded to know.
"Me? Nothing, Ron we should talk to Hermione."
"But you can't, at least not until we find a cure for the curse."
"Well, then, we should at least follow them." Ron didn't feel like arguing with Harry so he nodded and they both started to follow Hermione. I fell so bad now, Hermione thought, he looked so hurt. But that should teach him a lesson from now on he better be nicer to me. Oh no, Hermione thought, Malfoy is coming. If Malfoy even looks at me, I'll hit him harder than last time. Oh no, I hope he doesn't mention the incident earlier.
At the same time that Hermione saw Malfoy, Ron also saw him. Oh no just what I need. Oh great, if Malfoy insults Hermione, who knows what would happen. Ron thought, actually I want to see what happens to Malfoy. I must say word of Hermione's little reaction earlier in the week certainly spread quickly, especially with that picture that Colin kid took. I wonder how he got that picture anyway. Oh well, I hope there's a repeat performance. But to Ron's surprise, when Malfoy walked by he didn't insult her, in fact he didn't speak at all. Instead his jaw dropped and his facial expression was one of shock and more surprisingly, disappointment. Now that's really weird, Ron thought, why is he reacting like that? That's almost how Harry reacted. After some thought Ron just assumed that Malfoy reacted the way he did was because that he couldn't think of anything to say, that slimy git.
Ron and Harry followed Hermione and Victor for the remainder of the afternoon until they finally parted. Harry prayed there would be no good- bye kiss. There wasn't he was so happy, but yet upset at the same time. Hermione climbed into a carriage after hold on what was she doing? What in the world is she inspecting her carriage with the lumos spell? If she and Harry don't get together soon she may end up in St. Mungo's.
Ron and Harry crept into a nearby carriage and waited until they arrived at back at Hogwarts.
