Chapter Three: Rude awakenings
**********************************************************
"Oink, Oink, Oink. I'm a perky piggy. Oink, Oink, Oink." Hermione rolled over and threw a pillow at her 'barn animal' alarm clock. She mentally cursed herself for bringing it and then charming it to work at Hogwarts.
"Hmmm, mph, turn it off 'Mione!" Cho mumbled from across the room. She smiled at her friend and rolled over once more to look out the floor-to- ceiling window. The sun was up, giving them a beautiful view of the Hogwarts grounds and the Forbidden Forest. She looked back at her semi- broken alarm clock, which was now lying on the floor, next to her bed.
"Oh crap Cho, it's nearly eight o'clock. We're going to be late for breakfast. Come on Chang! Get up!" Hermione jumped out of her bed and went to her wardrobe to get her robes out. She threw on a black mini skirt and a scarlet singlet top under robes, as she was allowed to wear anything she wanted under her robes this year.
Cho was slowly getting up and doing the same. "Why do we have to get up so EARLY?" she complained.
"Come on Cho, if you hurry up, you'll get to see Harry!" she said encouragingly.
At this, Cho was speeding through her wardrobe, put on some random clothes under her robes and ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Hermione quickly put on her make-up and ran after Cho. They brushed their teeth together and walked back into the common room.
"Do you reckon the guys are awake?" Cho asked. A snore from their dorm told them, they were most definitely not.
Hermione and Cho grinned evilly. "Payback on Malfoy for the password!" Hermione cried.
"Yeah, I owe Landies some serious payback too!" Cho joined in on the fun.
"Let's go!" they said in unison. They slowly tip-toed to the boy's door and Hermione whispered to Cho, "I'll get Malfoy, you get Landies." Cho grinned evilly once more. She quietly opened the door and the two girls crept into the boys' dorm. The room was much the same as theirs except it had more of a Slytherin feel to it. They crept up beside the boys' beds and stood right next to their heads. Cho counted to three on her fingers and then they went for it.
"WAKE UP GUYS!" They screamed into their ears. They two boys immediately awoke, with a terrified expression on their faces. Cho and Hermione were laughing hysterically on the floor. The boys' scared expression soon turned to anger and they climbed out of bed.
"What the HELL?" Tristan cried.
Malfoy joined in too. "Yeah, why the hell are you in our room and why in Merlin's name did you wake us up?!"
This just made the girl's laugh harder. But, instead of replying, they simply stood up, waved to the boys and walked out. But before leaving Hermione turned around and winked at Malfoy. "Good look Malfoy." She said, referring to his bare chest. He gave her an evil glare and the girls' finally left the room.
"Oh my god! Did you see the look on their faces!" Cho cried happily.
"Yeah, wasn't it hilarious!"
"Oh no." Cho stopped laughing.
"What is it Cho?"
"You do realize that they're going to get us back some how don't you?"
"Yeah, yeah, but that was worth it." Cho smiled.
"It was, wasn't it?" The two girls started giggling again and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
As soon as they got there, Cho immediately found Harry and sprinted over to him. He had his back to her so she put her hands over his eyes and whispered in his ear "Guess who?"
Harry smiled. "Cho?" he said in disbelief. She took her hands off his eyes and sat on his lap.
"You better believe it!" She kissed him on the cheek.
"But. you graduated last year!"
Cho and Hermione explained the whole story to the boys and Lavender, but when they got to the part about having to share a common room with Malfoy, the boys faces dropped.
"I swear Cho, if he does anything to you, just tell me and I'll wipe him out!" Harry said protectively.
"Yeah 'Mione, you too. If he lays a finger on you, just tell us." Ron joined in.
Hermione smiled at her friends' protectiveness. "We'll be fine." She reassured them.
The group happily munched on breakfast, laughing and joking about the things they'd gotten up to over the summer.
"How are Fred and George going?" Hermione asked Ron.
"Well, their new joke shop in Hogsmeade is a major success. They've sold heaps of stuff already. Mind you, Mum's not too happy about it, but she's getting used to it."
"Well, say hello to them for me next time you see them."
"Will do."
Four owls swooped into the great hall, each carrying seven parcels. Each owl dropped every parcel at a different house table and then flew out again.
"Oh, these must be the new timetables. A package for every year!" Hermione explained. She grabbed the package marked '7th years' and handed out the schedules to all her friends.
"Oh no." Ron's face dropped.
"What is it sweetie?" Lavender asked sweetly.
"We've still got Potions with the Slytherins. In fact, we've got double potions first up this morning! Could things suck any more?"
"Well actually, I have to help Snape with that class, so it won't be all that bad!" Cho said, trying to lighten the situation.
"Really?" Harry asked.
"Uh huh."
"Well, that must suck for you, but it's good for me!" He kissed her on the cheek and Cho blushed.
"Oh no! We're late guys! Quickly, we're going to have to run!" Hermione exclaimed and the group got up and ran all the way to the dungeons.
They burst in the door. "10 points of each of your houses for being tardy. And even Head Girl! My, my, that isn't a very good example is it?" Snape said slimily.
Hermione blushed furiously and went to an empty desk.
"Now, as I was saying before I was so RUDELY interrupted, today we will be working on the Petitely potion. Now does anyone know what this-" Snape didn't get to finish his sentence, because at that moment, Malfoy walked through the door and casually strode towards the empty seat next to Hermione. "Mister Malfoy, may I ask why you are late to my class?"
"I overslept." He said simply.
"A further 10 points from Miss Granger and Miss Chang for not waking up Mister Malfoy." He smirked.
"But we did!" Hermione cried angrily.
"Make that 20 for back-chatting." He gave Hermione a 'I'm-so-much-better- than-you' smirk. Hermione felt like vomiting.
The rest of the lesson was fairly uneventful, apart from Neville burning a hole in his cauldron. The day dragged by slowly and Hermione was glad to get back to her common room at the end of the day. She grabbed her favorite muggle book, 'Romeo and Juliet' and began to read.
A/N Sorry about this chapter, it's just a filler to keep the story moving. But didn't you guys just get the best mental image of Draco topless? I put that in just for your enjoyment.
