Summary: Carnival!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________
They met at about half past four at the gate to Hogsmeade. Draco was late, this was due to Filch's precarious monitoring of the students leaving Hogwarts for Hogsmeade. (Filch had thought that Draco was up to something at the sight of him on his own.)
"I'm so sorry, i'm late!" Draco mouthed as he came, panting heavily.
"It's alright.." Hermione gazed upon his bright red cheek.
There was an awkward silence between the two of them as they stared at each other. Draco sensed the uncomfortable atmosphere amongst them and decided to speak.
"You want to go for a drink? It's still quite early till the opening."
Hermione gave a tiny nod and followed Draco. They made their way to the Three Broomsticks and sat themselves at the table in the corner near the back.
"Do you want anything?" Draco asked.
"Yeh, a butter beer." Hermone replied.
Draco stood up and left for the bar and got back with two mugs and two bottles of butter beer. They sat there for half an hour and drank their butter beer without uttering a single word. Hermione kept staring at her hands while Draco stared at her.
"She's so pretty..." Draco thought to himself and moved his face closer to hers.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Hermione raised an eyebrow and leaned back in her chair.
Without shifting his gaze, Draco said, "You're the prettiest girl i've dated. You know that?"
"So... you've dated others, have you? They must have been really pretty..." Hermione said this with a tone of jealousy in her voice.
"Who were they? Tell me then!" She crossed her arms and drifted from his gaze
"Someone's JEALOUS...." Draco grinned and held Hermione's hands across the table. Hermione began to flush pink.
They talked for a while more and decided to leave the Three Broomsticks for the theme park.
Draco stood up and walked to Hermione's side and raised his right hand to hold Hermione's and she obliged. As they walked to the door with their hands held together, Harry and Ron burst in laughing heartily.
Harry's expression changed drastically at the sight of their hands together. The frown on his face etched so deeply in his face.
Upon realising Harry's sudden change, Hermione quickly shook off Draco's hand and walked quietly pass the two of them and out the door. Draco gave Harry a shifty look and chased after Hermione.
All these happened in a span of a few seconds.
***
"hey..." Draco ran beside Hermione and grabbed her arm.
"I'm sorry about just now. I shouldn't have just left... I should have explained... I.." Hermione began to tear away from her words.
"It's alright... It isn't your fault. That Potter..." Draco turned and faced Hermione, brushing off a strand of stray hair from her face. Draco cupped his hands on Hermione's cheeks and said, "Let's go, the carnival's about to begin. Don't worry alright? Now you're with me, so don't worry. Just forget about everything and have fun." Draco held her hand and the two of them walked silently towards the themepark.
***
"Let's go..." Ron took a swig of his butter beer and finished it all in one gulp. "You don't want to miss the carnival, do you?" Ron pulled on Harry's shoulder.
"Yeh, okay... Let's go..." Harry muttered in an unwilling voice. "She'll be there right? With Malfoy, not Melorie... Why does she have to lie to me?"
The two of them made their way out and crossed the street towards the shrieking shack.
The themepark was constructed on the barren land, a few feet away from the shack.
***
They made it just in time for the grand opening.
Two strange looking men stood on either side of a short stout man.
Harry and Ron squinted and tried to make out who the three men were. The entire area was swarming with students.
The first man was wearing a muggle-like suit and was talking with an almost interesting air to his speech.
"Hey, listen..." Ron poked Harry and pointed out the man standing on the short stout man's left. He was wearing a thick purple dress robe and was about to start his speech.
"hem hem...." The man cleared his throat and sounded almost the like of Umbridge.
"We are pleased to have our minister of magic, Cornelius Fudge, today, to officially open our Themepark. A Round of applause for our minister, please..." Loud bangs of popping ribbons floated out of thin air and covered the heads of the crowd.
"Now, what you have all been waiting for... " The crowd began to quiver in excitement.
"Let the fun BEGIN!" The doors to the Themepark flew open as the crowd began to throw themselves into the nearest rides and carnival stalls.
"Hey... Harry, let's GO..." Ron pulled on Harry's cloak and poured into a nearby stall called [Card traders' society]. The entire stall was decorated in frames which had special edition cards in it. Each one had a small note attached to its right.
Harry glanced over at the closest one. It was a shimmery purple card with stars on it. The person inside gleamed at Harry and dissapeared. He looked at the small paper attached to it and read "Sir Guildion Rimes: The Founder of The Funding Asia's Magical Schools' institute."
"who is this?" Harry mumbled to himself as Ron rushed over to the counter and took out a couple of knuts and placed it on the counter.
"Hey Harry, you got some money with you? I'll pay you back!!" Ron ensured Harry as he took a pouch of coins out.
Harry walked around and spotted a bright sparkly blue card with yellow stars on it and stared at the familiar words "Dumbledore". He looked up at the picture and Dumbledore was smiling at him and soon, like the previous card, had dissapeared. It was a common card but this one was special. Its colours were different and Dumbledore was dressed differently.
*tap tap*
"Come on, i bought the card, let's go see what other stuff they have around here." Ron grabbed Harry and the both of them made for the exit.
***
Many students were walking about and purchasing items and going on rides. Draco and Hermione were no different.
The two of them came to a halt in front of the line of people waiting to take the Fairy's wheel. Tiny little Fairies floated around, turning the sky into glittering stars.
Students who were on the Fairy's wheel descended and the line got shorter as they got up the carriage. Draco helped Hermione into one of the carriage and followed in. The small fairy closed the door and it moved upwards.
"Wow.. Isn't the view nice from up here?" Draco spurt out in an attempt to start a conversation.
"Yeah. it's nice.. it would be nicer if Kr..." Hermione suddenly realised that Draco was beside her and she didn't want to upset him, after all, this is their date. "It would be nicer if we could stay up here a while longer."
"yeh." Draco spoke and stared at Hermione. "Erm, are you alright? you seem very quiet. Is it because of what happened just now?"
"O.. er, no.. No.. i'm just tired. That's all."
***
Meanwhile, Harry and Ron walked along the crowded road and explored the other stalls.
They passed a stall which sold muggle sweets and chocolates and they passed a stall called "tangerine dances" which sold objects charmed to dance to the tone of anybody's voice. (you could imagine how much dancing there was, the place was very noisy.)
They walked a little more and soon came to pass a small pet shop which had a tank of lemurats. This were small lemur-like creatures that had long tails and ears like rats. They hung tight to small tree branches and ate the tiny leaves.
Ron ran pass the shop and came to a stand selling refreshments.
"I'll take one.. that one.. Yeh.. Thanks." Ron paid the man as he handed him something resembling a nose.
"What's that?" Harry gave a disgusted look and squinted.
"It's a nose pop.. Want to try?" Ron pushed his into Harry's hand. A gooey liquid resembling mucus slowly dripped out. It was pink in colour.
"hey..." The gooey liquid dripped on the floor. "Aw... such a waste. You only get about a few sips of that. Are you going to eat that." Ron asked as Harry pushed it back into his hands.
"I think i'm going to be sick." Harry exclaimed as he screwed up his face in disgust.
The both of them laughed happily and Harry forgot about all that had happened a while ago.
