Disclaimer- If I owned this why would I post it at Fanfiction? Think about that for a while.
A/N- First off, For those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas!! Only a couple days left. If you don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays to you! I love this time of year. Anyways, heres chapter 3. I updated quickly. Aren't you proud? Also, it's a little longer than the others. Its still not very long but it is an improvement. Lol. Well, on with the chapter!
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in the library. They were scanning the shelves looking for books pertaining to decorating and housework.
"I found it!" Harry triumphantly yelled to Ron and Hermione.
"Please be quiet!" Madam Pince said sternly as she sternly as she ran over to the section where Harry was standing. And with that she ran off to another part of the library where a loud crash was heard.
"Let me see it," Hermione said as she and Ron approached Harry. Harry handed the book to her and she started looking through it. " 'Easy Decorating: Turn Your Room From Blah to Boom', By Keith Harding. Perfect, this will work. I believe there is a book about housekeeping, too."
"Here it is, 'Guide to Magical Housekeeping' By Emma Nelson," Ron said as he extracted the book from the shelf. "I say Hermione checks the books out. If we did Madam Pince would think we were up to something. But Hermione, here, reads all this stuff for fun!"
"I agree with Ron," Harry said trying to hold back a laugh.
"Fine, I'll do it. Ron, give me that book. You two leave now, it won't look as suspicious. I'll meet you in front of the chamber in about 15 minutes," Hermione said walking up to Madam Pince's check out desk.
"See you in a bit," Ron said as he and Harry exited the library. "Lets get going, I want to get to the chamber. I can't wait to get started!"
"What chamber?" came a drawling voice behind them. Harry knew at once who it was, Draco Malfoy. Harry spun around and gave cold stare.
"Shove off, Malfoy. We don't have to tell you anything," Harry said with a look of disgust creeping up on his face.
"Excuse me, Potthead, I asked Weasley a question. You don't have to talk for him all the time, he's a big boy. Now, Weasley, what chamber?" Draco spat.
"Go away, Malfoy, before I curse you so bad your mum will feel it!" Ron said fuming.
"Why don't you do it then? That filthy little mud blood isn't here to stop you. You don't have the nerve to do anything to me, you poor, pathetic, mudblood loving git!" Draco said without batting an eye. As soon as Draco got his words out, Ron lunged at him, knocking Draco to the ground. Crabbe and Goyle reached down and pulled Ron of Draco and tossed him to the side then helped Draco up. Ron picked himself up and got out his wand. He was just about to curse Malfoy when Harry stopped him.
"Its not worth it, Ron. Its just what Malfoy is trying to do. He wants to get you in trouble. Lets just go," Harry said quickly.
"Alright, lets go. But if he insults Hermione or my family again, he'll wish he was never born," Ron said as he put his wand back in his robe's pocket.
"Now lets go, we need to beat Hermione there or it really defeats the purpose of us leaving early," Harry said as he walked towards the stairs.
A couple of minutes later Ron and Harry reached the chamber. They stood there waiting for Hermione to come. They talked a little as they waited. They waited and waited for her, she was about twenty minutes late.
"I wonder what's keeping Hermione. She is almost a half an hour late," Harry said looking at his watch. "She said she was coming right away, didn't she?"
Before Ron could answer, Hermione rushed towards them, all red faced. She was breathing hard and looked tired from carrying her book bag.
"Sorry, I got lost," Hermione huffed.
"You got lost!?!" Ron said incredulously trying to not laugh.
"Hey, this is only the second time coming here, and its not so easy without Harry leading the way," Hermione stated defensively.
"Who cares? Lets just go inside and get to work," Harry said quickly in an attempt to avoid a fight.
"Alright, lets go," Hermione agreed. So Harry opened the chamber and the three friends entered. Hermione set down her book bag and extracted the two books she just checked out. She opened 'Guide to Magical Housekeeping.' The she looked in he index before opening to about the middle of the book.
"I found a pretty powerful cleaning charm. Its should remove all the dust in the room with one charm. Ron? Can you get Godric Gryffindor's letter? The spell might damage it," Hermione said as she got out her wand.
"Sure thing," Ron said as he jogged to the back of the chamber to collect the note. He jogged back and carefully slipped it in Hermione's book bag. "Ok, its safe."
"Totallia Clensemorus," Hermione casted. At once all the dust flew in the air, it swiveled in a circle before completely dissolving. "Decorium Tackmorion." Everything shined. The bookshelves glimmered with a streak-free shine and the gold trim on the walls glittered.
"Wow," Harry said completely awestruck. "This is going to be so cool. Good thing its the weekend. We have two days to decorate it. What do you want to do first?"
"I say we start with the lights. I was thinking a large chandelier in the main part of the chamber. Then floor lamps standing in each corner and some other places," Hermione said getting out the other book. "Let me find the section about lighting fixtures."
"That's a great idea," said Ron. "It's a bit cold in here. Hermione, can you light a blue ball flame in the fireplace?"
"Sure, Ron," And with that she waved her wand at the fireplace and immediately the room warmed.
"Thanks, Hermione, now lets get to work," Ron said getting out his wand.
"This is going to be so awesome. What do you want us to do?" Harry asked Hermione.
"Here it is! I found the lighting fixture page. Ok, the floor lamp spell is Liteamio Ditimic. I'll work on the chandelier and you and Ron can do the floor lamps. Remember, Liteamio Ditimic," Hermione said as she turned pages in the book.
Ron and Harry walked to the back of the chamber. Together they put a floor lamp in the two corners and in between each vertical bookshelf. Then the split it, Harry took the left wall and Ron, the right. After a few minutes, they met back in the middle of the room.
The chamber was so lit up and bright. The gold trim on the walls glistened. It was very pretty. Harry and Ron stood in awe for a moment while looking around at the room encompassing them.
After looking around for a while, Harry and Ron to see how Hermione's chandelier was progressing. They walked up to her and almost had to step back in amazement when they saw the chandelier.
It was the most beautiful thing Harry had ever seen. There were gold bars combined together in intricate designs. At the end of each gold bar, it stretched out and there was scarlet candles with a gold tint. A large scarlet bow was tied in the middle of the chandelier. It was breathtaking.
"Well, what do you two think?" Hermione asked nervously.
"Its brilliant, Hermione, absolutely brilliant," Ron said not taking his eyes off of the chandelier.
"Hermione, your amazing. Even for you. it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Great job," Harry complemented.
"Thanks, you guys. Now, lets start on the furniture," Hermione said as she once again started flipping pages in her book.
"Ok," said Harry, "Lets go."
A/N- Ok, sorry, I couldn't resist. I ended another chapter with 'Lets Go.' I think its rather humorous. Anyways, did you like the chapter? Tell me if you did or didn't in a review!!!
