Chapter 18
Harry had done it! He wasn't expelled! The thought raced through his mind all through
his classes that day. He was very glad he had missed Double Potions that day with the
Slytherins. Harry wouldn't have known what to say to Tori. Besides, he thought to
himself during Herbology, I still have to deal with Hermione. Hermione hadn't spoken to
him all day long. She had sat in the opposite side of the room, and was even taking the
risk of getting in trouble for switching assigned seats. Obviously, she had heard of his
romance with Tori. Well, he thought, she was my girlfriend. What did she expect? That I
would just forget Tori and love her? I mean, I love Tori. I mean, I REALLY love
her.....
"Mr. Potter, are you ready to join us today?" asked Professor Sprout, who didn't see very
happy. Harry shook off his cold stare into space, and sat up straight.
"I'm sorry, Hermione, I wasn't thinking ahead of time," Harry said, his mind a bit mixed
up.
"Excuse me, Mr. Potter. I am not Ms. Granger. I am Professor Sprout." Harry caught his
glitch.
"Oh, sorry!" he exclaimed. "I meant to say ' I'm sorry, Professor Sprout, I had other
things on my mind.'" But, the rest of the class seemed to understand what he had said
before. Little giggles exploded from the Herbology students. Then, the giggles turned
into roars of laughter, which resulted in people knocking over desks and rolling around
on the ground. Even Professor Sprout had a smirk on her face. But, Hermione wasn't so
pleased.
" I can't believe you, Potter!" she shouted, enraged. "How could you just say that? 'I
wasn't thinking ahead of time'", she imitated stupidly. "How could you just embarrass
me like that? How could you not have been thinking? I thought you loved me! I thought I
loved you! But now I know that that was just a stupid dream. I could never love someone
as back-stabbing as you, Harry Potter!" Wow. Apparently, Hermione had a lot to say on
this topic.
"I, uh, well.." Harry muttered stupidly.
"You what!?" Hermione, half asked, and half screamed.
"I...." Harry didn't to say.
"What?! Are you going to apologize to me?"
"Ummmm... No. I seem to remember you coming on to me..."
"AAARRGGGHHHH!!!!" screamed Hermione as loud as humanly possible.
"Well," answered Harry timidly. " She was my girlfriend..."
"I don't care who she was! She could have been the Queen of England,
for all I care! But, the fact is, you don't just go around a DO IT with a girl every TEN
MINUTES!!!!!!!" The class couldn't contain themselves. Some smacked their heads off
desks and rolled to the ground in a heap, rendered unconscious, while others ran into
walls. Even Professor Sprout was bubbling with hideous laughter.
"Oh," said Harry, acting oblivious to the fact she had just stated.
"YOU STUPID..............!" And with that, Hermione
attacked.
