Chapter 11
What about Hermione
The next morning everyone waited in the Great Hall for the food to appear. Dumbledore had to make an announcement so no one was eating yet.
"May I have your attention please, by request of Mr. Zack Bordello, Emily will you please show us your two true selves."
Emily was nervous but Harry squeezed her hand and told her it would be okay. She stood up and went to the front of the Great Hall. She whispered something and then a bright light shone on her and in a flash she changed. Everyone gasped as they saw Emily as a centaur. Then just to get it over with she whispered something else and in another bright flash she changed again. No one could stop talking, and then they saw her as a mermaid. She couldn't get up and she needed water. Harry ran to her and brought her out to the lake.
They reached the lake and Emily jumped in. She came shooting out of the water and landed on the grass fully dressed.
"Emily are you alright?" Harry asked and went to her side.
"I'm fine, I just want to go and prepare for Mione's party."
So Harry and Emily went back to the castle and up to the common room. Ron and Fi were already there and talking about Emily.
"Emily, that was amazing, I can't believe you can be those two things," Ron said in awe.
"Thanks Ron, I'm glad you think so." The four students started decorating the room for Hermione's surprise party.
The boys finished up the decorations and the girls finished the cake.
"Okay, Fi can you help my find a dress for Mione. She's going to need one for the ball I'm planning."
Ron and Harry looked at each other and said at the same time, "Ball?" Emily and Fi laughed and she told them that she is planning a masquerade ball for Halloween.
"Here we go, this is gorgeous," Fi said pointing at a gown with all different shades of blue.
"That is so perfect, thanks Fi," Emily said giving Fi a high five.
Emily took out a whole bunch of blue material and began to make the dress. Once she was finished Fi went down to the library to get Hermione. When Fi reached the library she saw Mione with her head buried in a book.
"Hey Mione, what are you reading?" Fi asked and Hermione looked up.
"Oh nothing just doing a little studying."
She continued to read and Fi asked, "Do you think you could come up to the room and help me with a potions paper?"
Hermione said okay and they went up to the room. Emily, Harry, and Ron were waiting in the common room and when they heard the door open, they all hid.
"Why is it so dark in here?" Hermione asked and turned on a light.
Once she did they jumped out from their hiding places and shouted, "SURPRISE!!" Hermione jumped and was completely shocked.
"Oh you guys, this is so wonderful."
Emily brought out the cake and they all sang to her. She blew out her candles and then she cut the cake. Fi brought over some plates and Ron brought some drinks.
"Here Mione I hope you like it," Fi handed her a gift. She opened it and it was a book titled, "10,000 study tips".
"Thanks Fi this will definitely come in handy."
Ron handed her a present, "It's nothing much." She smiled and opened it, it was another book.
"Thanks Ron I really needed a book to help with my O.W.L.S." he smiled and Harry gave her a present.
Emily smiled because she helped him pick it out. Hermione opened the box and inside was a necklace with a blue crystal.
"Oh Harry it's beautiful," she said and gave him a hug.
"Well you're going to need something to wear that with so, here you go." Emily brought out the dress and Hermione's jaw almost fell to the floor.
"Emily that is amazing, but where am I going to wear that?" she asked still in amazement.
"Well, Dumbledore gave me permission to have a Masquerade Ball for Halloween." Hermione hugged Emily and thanked her again.
"You're welcome Mione. Now lets have some of this food," Emily handed Mione a piece of cake.
Ron and Fi were feeding each other and so were Harry and Emily. When they were finished they all went to their second class. Harry and Ron went off to Arithmacy with Emily and Fi. Hermione went to care of magical creatures. While she was standing outside waiting for Hagrid all she could think about was Ron. She was upset because she never told him how she felt. Now that he's going out with Fi and is so happy, she had no chance. Deep in her thoughts she didn't notice Justin Finfletchley standing next to her. She snapped out of her trance when he tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hermione, um, could I ask you a question?" Justin asked in a shy embarrassed tone. Hermione turned to him and nodded her head.
He was trying to get it out and finally he asked, "Hermione, will you be my girlfriend?" Hermione blushed; she couldn't believe Justin had a crush on her.
"Oh Justin, of course I'll be your girlfriend," she said and gave him a huge hug. When they parted Hagrid came outside to start the lesson. Hermione was looking around and she saw Zack standing with Draco and his gang. She didn't understand why he was still here and then she saw something awful. He was wearing a robe with the Slytherin symbol on it. After the lesson she ran to the Great Hall to find her friends and tell Emily about Zack. She came running into the Great Hall, hand in hand with Justin.
"Emily, I have to tell you something," she exclaimed out of breath.
"Who's your friend Mione?" Emily asked with a smile.
She told them that Justin had just asked her out. They were all so happy for her. "That's great Mione, now what is it you need to tell me." Hermione and Justin sat down and she began to tell Emily what she saw.
"I was outside waiting for Hagrid to begin his lesson and I saw Zack standing with Malfoy and his friends."
Emily looked at her and said, "So, what's your point, Dumbledore said he could stay for two days after his wishes were granted."
Hermione shook her head and continued, "No that's not it, he was wearing a Slytherin robe and actually participating in class." Emily had a look of terror on her face. She stood up and ran up to the head table.
"Excuse me Professor Dumbledore, I need to talk to you," she said in a panicked voice.
He looked at her and said, "Would this have anything to do with Mr. Bordello being a student?"
Emily got really dizzy and fell to the ground. When she woke up she was in the hospital wing.
"Oh dear god, I've been here way too many times, I'm fine I just fainted. Can I please leave?" she asked the nurse and she told her she could leave.
Emily got out of bed and to herbology. That was her last class and when she went back to the common room, she started the plans for the ball. While she was drawing up some ideas Harry and the others walked in.
"Hey you, are you okay? You fell pretty hard on the ground." Harry kissed her cheek and she told him everything was fine.
They all sat down and Fi asked what she was working on. She told them she was drawing up some plans for the ball.
