Chapter 23- Enjoying the Simple Things
"Harry we're over here," yelled Hazel from the Gryffindor table. Her and Ron were
enjoying breakfast as Ron tried to get her to "spill the beans" as he called it, about last
night.
"Ron I told you there's nothing to tell.. Well nothing you're expecting any ways," said Hazel looking over at Ron as he made one last plea.
"Fine if you wont tell me anything then....Oy Harry how was your night last night?" Ron
asked his friend as Harry set down next to Hazel.
Harry looked mildly annoyed. Hazel gave Ron a small playful kick under the table.
"Ow! OK have your secrecy. But don't come to me when you have something exciting to
say," said Ron acting like he was mad by their actions.
By now both Harry and Hazel where ignoring him.
"So how did it go?" she asked him.
"Well I have something for you," he said and he handed her the small ring that Dumbledore had given him. Hazel looked down at the ring and all most fell out of her seat.
"Oh Harry its gorgeous. Where on earth did you get it! I mean in all my years of seeing
Egyptian treasure this is by far the most prettiest trinket I've ever seen."
Harry laugh, "Can I put it on your finger before you have a heart attack?"
She blushed "Yes sorry." He slipped it on her finger.
"So it was that good of a night!!??" said Ron sounding surprised. "I mean Harry the girl just got to London. How do you know she won't find some other stud around here? Did I
mention I'm single now?" said Ron teasingly.
"Ron you prat. Shut up!" said Hermione.
"Well you wouldn't complain because you got a new bracelet and Harry's watch don't
look cheep either," said Ron to Hermione.
"Well Ron if you would shut up long enough for Harry to explain that these are gifts from Dumbledore to help us protect Hazel then maybe you would acutely know why Hazel needs protection!!" said Hermione as if she had been holding it back.
Hazel and Harry was looking at Hermione and Ron with shock.
"You'll get use to them," said Harry and he looked back at Hazel. "This goes with the
ring." and he handed her the card that told her what each gems stood for.
"This is too wonderful. So what is with your watch and Hermione's bracelet?" she asked
looking up from the card.
"Well watch." Harry pressed the button on his watch and let Hazel read what the screen. It said, "Hazel Holiday, Very excited, In Great Hall, Accompanied by Hermione
Granger, Ronald Weasely, and Harry Potter."
Hazel was amazed. "So how does Hermione's bracelet work?" she asked at last.
Hermione pressed her thumb under the bracelet and watched as the bracelet turned
Orange(very happy), then the words Hazel Holiday, Great Hall, Ron Weasley, Harry
Potter and Hermione Granger engraved its self in the band of the bracelet.
"We can also talk to each other and Dumbledore told us to warn you that if anyone
besides you takes off your ring then Hermione and my Wither Watchers will receive a
small electric shock. So we know you're in danger." Hazel looked like she was going to
explode with excitement. "So I'm protected from Malfoy?"
"More then in one way," said Harry.
Hazel threw her arms around Harry and gave him a big hug.
"Thank you," she whispered in his hair.
"You didn't even have to ask for my help. I would have done it even if you wouldn't have wanted me to," he said smiling.
"Let's see how Malfoy feels," she Hazel with a sly grin on her face. She pressed the clear
gem and a little screen dropped down out of the ring and unfolded itself into the palm of
Hazel's hand.
The words "Draco Malfoy" appeared. "Gloomy, heading out of the Great Hall to go to
Transfiguration, accompanied by no one."
"This is so wicked!!" said Hazel.
"I have been quiet so can anyone tell me what's going on?" asked Ron looking confused.
Harry looked at Hazel with a look that said, "can I tell him?"
"Go ahead Harry," said Hazel. "He's are friend and he has the right to know too." then
noticing how serious she sound she quickly added, "we wouldn"t want to keep are big baby out in the dark," she said in a fake baby voice.
Ron decided he would play along, "Hey have you noticed this is the GRYFFONDOR table and you are a SLYTHERIN. So shouldn't you be over there with your wonderful friends. I mean Pansy Parkinson looks lonely."
Hazel's mouth opened in a smile. "Well Ron why don't you go keep her company."
"OK enough from both of you," said Harry giggling. "Now Ron if you want to know what happened you are going to have to shut up and listen..ok?"
Ron shook his head yes and Harry told him the events that had happened over the last few days, (but he didn't go into detail about the rape. Which Hazel was kind of thankful for.).
After it was all over Ron's face had went through many colors. Now it was a boiled red.
"That no good son-of-a-..."
"Ron!!" said Hermione cutting him off. She agreed that what Ron was about to say fit
Malfoy perfectly but there was no need to say it.
"I can't believe he did that tough. I mean we all knew Malfoy was horrible but this is a
new level," said Ron punching his hand. "I promise you Hazel, if it's the last thing I do I will pay Malfoy back," then Ron blushed. "And you don't have to set over there with those tarts you can stay here with us."
Hazel smiled. She was so lucky to have such great friends.
"Harry we're over here," yelled Hazel from the Gryffindor table. Her and Ron were
