Chapter Four: Ferret Boy's Gay?!
"Morning girlfriend"
Harry teased as I entered the common room the next morning.
"Morning boyfriend" I teased back.
He blushed, apparently he hadn't gotten used to that name. Luckily it was still early and most of the other students were still in bed as it was Saturday. I walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. As I pulled back he spoke.
"What was that for?" he asked
"Just for being you" I replied.
Harry grinned from ear to ear. I finished fastening my cloak and took out the piece of parchment with the clues on it, I had out it in my pocket earlier that morning. I opened it up and re-read the new clue. It was really beginning to frustrate me. It must have shown on my face as Harry cupped my cheeks with his hands. I looked up at him.
"Come on, lets go down to breakfast and we can have a proper look at the clue down there o.k.?" he asked.
"Sure" I smiled at him.
Together we walked down to the great hall. When we got there, it was surprisingly full considering the time of the morning. We walked over to Gryffindor table and sat down opposite each other. Harry took his usual helping of watermelon. He had grown very fond of it in the last few days. I on the other hand took my normal piece of toast with butter and began to eat. I took out the parchment with the clues on again and began to read it over and over. 'There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies'. I looked from the piece of watermelon that Harry was eating to the clue.
"Harry, I've got it!" I shouted jumping up.
Everyone in the great hall stopped talking and turned to look at me. Malfoy included.
"Got what Granger, the answers to next weeks homework?" he yelled.
Not surprisingly the only table that laughed was the Slytherin table. Every other table, Gryffindor included, just gave him death glares. I turned around to look at Harry but it was too late, he was already half way over to Malfoy. I dropped my piece of toast and followed him.
"What did you say Malfoy?" Harry asked as he stood in front of Malfoy.
"I said, has Granger got the answers to next weeks homework" he said and smirked at me.
Since the entire hall was watching us, teachers included, all Harry could do was throw insults at him.
"I suggest you watch your mouth Malfoy, or next time you'll come of a lot worse than I will" replied Harry through clenched teeth.
That was my queue to step in.
"He's right you know Malfoy, I can teach him some pretty good spells" I said. "Come on Harry, lets get out of here" I said as I took his hand.
Together we began walking out of the great hall when Malfoy shouted behind us.
"Are Potty and Mudblood boyfriend and girlfriend now?" he yelled.
I stopped abruptly and spun round, still holding Harry's hand.
"Jealous are we Malfoy, that I have a boyfriend and you don't? Or is it just the fact that you're plain ugly?" I said smirking at him.
I turned around and me and Harry carried on walking. As we left the Great Hall, it erupted into laughter. Followed by Fred and George's very bad singing. 'Ferret boys gay, ferret boys gay!' they sang. I picked up the pace and we ran to mine and Harry's favourite spot. The space underneath the oak tree that grew outside on the Hogwarts grounds. I stopped when we reached the shade of its branches and turned to face Harry. He began to stroke the side of my face with his hand.
"You know, that's one of the things I love about you" he said smiling.
"What?"
"That you don't care what anyone thinks of you" he replied.
"Thanks"
"You're amazing, you know that?"
"I do now" I replied.
Harry bent down and kissed me. But this kiss wasn't like our first kiss. It was much more passionate and longer. After a few minutes. Harry pulled away, I could feel his breath on my face.
"Now, what were you saying before we got so rudely interrupted?" he asked.
"I was saying that I figured out the answer to the next clue"
"Well, what is it?"
"A watermelon, my brain just clicked as soon as I looked from the piece that you were eating to the clue on the parchment"
"Well, I guess that means we need to go to the kitchens to get our next clue" he said.
"It sure does"
I took hold of his hand again, and together we made our way to the kitchens, talking about this and that on the way. Once we arrived, Harry reached up and tickled the pear, which always made me laugh. The portrait swung open and we entered. No sooner had we done so then it shut behind us and Dobby came running up to us.
"Harry Potter sir, and his lady friend, what brings you here?" he squeaked.
"Hi Dobby, we were wondering, do you have a watermelon we could borrow for a few minutes?" asked Harry.
"Yes sir, of course, Dobby will be right back!" he said and then ran off to find one.
A few moments later Dobby reappeared carrying a very big watermelon, so big in fact that you couldn't see his head. Harry took it off him and placed it on a near by table, for fear that Dobby might fall over under its weight. I walked over to were Harry stood next to the watermelon and took out the parchment with the clues on it. As it had done many times before, the next clue began to appear.
