Jae: I'm SSSOOOO sorry about not updating "Wrong Turn" and everything and disappearing in thin air! It's because that fic was really getting on my nerves… It seems that when I finally find a good plot to make, it turns out all wrong and I kind of just gave up on it. To make up for it though, I'm starting on a new fic! * Grins stupidly *
* T.J. comes in Jae's room *
Jae: * Rolls eyes * do you ever knock?
T.J.: * Sits beside Jae and wraps an arm around her * Hey, your room is my room!
Jae: * Looks at T.J. dully * sure. Whatever. Okay, on with the first chapter!
Chapter One: Different Worlds
A/N: Oh, did I mention this fic is AU? Well now you know. =]Hermione:
16-year old Hermione Granger slowly opened her eyes. It's Monday already? Wow, that was fast, she thought as she got up. The moment she did, she picked up her pillow and did her morning routine: throw the pillow at Parvati Patil.
"5 more minutes mum," Parvati mumbled and turned over. Hermione snorted and jumped off her four-poster bed. She walked over to Parvati and snapped her pajama pants, causing the girl to wake up and yelp, also causing Lavender Brown to wake up.
"Blimey Parvati, will you SHUT UP!" Lavender Brown cried. Parvati glared at Hermione, who was now rolling on the floor, laughing.
"You know Hermione, it wouldn't kill you to probably poke me instead of snapping my pajama pants to wake me up," She scolded. Hermione finally tore herself from the floor and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"If I were to do that, then we'd be in here forever, am I right?" she said. Parvati groaned.
"I hate it when you're right," she mumbled before getting up and smacking Lavender with HER pillow.
"OW! VEE!" she yelled, but otherwise got up. All three girls dressed up and went outside to meet with Virginia Weasley, who was waiting for them in the common room. She got up from the couch as soon as the three came in.
"Took you guys long enough," she said. Lavender glared at Parvati who in turn glared at Hermione, who just smiled sweetly.
"Sorry Nia. It's just that, you know, the usual," Hermione shrugged. And with that, the girls headed to the Great Hall.
Harry:
"Ew! Harry, Ron, Draco, Dean! Take a shower, will you? You guys smell like sweat!" Collin Creevey said to the four boys as they entered the Common Room. Draco Malfoy shot him a glare.
"Mind your own business Creevey!" he exclaimed. Collin rolled his eyes before heading off to the Great Hall. Ron Weasley smelled his soaked shirt.
"I hate to say it you guys, but he's right. We do smell," he said. Dean Thomas stared at him.
"I wonder why Ron, when we just came back from Quidditch practice," he replied. While Ron glared at him, Harry smirked and ran.
"I get the shower first!" he yelled as he ran to the boys' dormitories. It took a second before Draco went, "I'm next!"
"I'm third!" Dean said after Draco. Ron groaned.
"Me and my reflexes," he muttered. Draco and Dean laughed, and a moment later, all three were laughing.
After they all had a chance to take a shower ("Thank Merlin!" "What did I say Creevey?"), Harry, Ron, Draco and Dean headed off to the Great Hall and took a seat in the Gryffindor table. Ron sat beside Lavender while Harry sat beside Parvati.
"So, Lav-" Ron didn't get to finish his sentence before Lavender held up a hand.
"Stop right there Weasley," she said, not looking up from her plate. Ron opened his mouth, then closed it again.
"What did we agree on?" Lavender said. Ron sighed.
"I don't talk to you unless it has anything related to school," he said. Lavender looked up and pat Ron on the head.
"Good Weasley! Now, I've got an advice for you: Listen to yourself!" she cried before turning back to her plate. Hermione, Parvati and Ginny giggled while Dean, Harry and Draco snickered. Ron shot them a murderous look before angrily munching his food. Harry looked at Hermione, who was beside Parvati.
"Hey beautiful, can you pass me some bacon?" he grinned, that would've melted any girl on the spot. Too bad Hermione wasn't even looking at him. Harry sighed and tried again.
"Babes, can you pass me some bacon?" he said. Again, Hermione ignored him. Beside him, Parvati was trying hard not to laugh. Harry shot her a look.
"What are you laughing at?" he said. Finally, Parvati burst out laughing. To Harry's relief and horror, Hermione spoke.
"She's laughing at you because you can't get my name right. It's HERMIONE. HER-MI-O-NIE you big-headed git," she said and got up. At once, all three girls stood up and headed towards the door, but not before laughing at Harry, whose cheeks went red. As soon as they left, Dean shook his head.
"I don't even know why you're still trying to get Hermione to notice you Harry ever since 3rd year. It's obvious that she thinks of you as a.. big-headed git," he snorted the last part and Dean, Draco and Ron busted out laughing. Harry glared at them.
"Thanks for your support you guys," he said before getting up, picking up his books and accidentally hitting Dean on the head with it.
"Hey! Harry!" Dean cried. Harry smirked.
"Oops," he said before running away. Dean ran after him while Draco and Ron followed their two friends, still laughing from the morning's events.
Jae: Okay! Chapter 1's done! To answer some of your questions, since this is AU, yes, Draco's in Gryffindor. You CANNOT give me flames because this is an AU FIC, okay? AU! Got it? Good!
T.J.: you know, ever since you turned 16, you've been VERY mean.
Jae: * smiles and hugs T.J. * But even if I am, that doesn't mean I love you any less!
T.J.: * smiles and hugs Jae back * I hate it when you act like this.
Jae: * giggles * Okay guys! Please Review!
* Preview of Next Chapter *
"I'll put you in groups of two for this project, and if you have any problems with your partner, I DON'T CARE. Understand?" the class groaned while Snape picked up a roll of parchment.
"Malfoy and Zabini," he said. Draco and Blaise groaned at the same time.
"Weasley and Brown." Lavender slapped her forehead while Ron grinned like his birthday came early.
"Parkinson and Longbottom."
"Patil and Williams."
"Goyle and Bulstrode."
"Thomas and Crabbe."
Please don't let me have Potter, please don't let me have Potter, Hermione kept repeating in her head.
"Potter and Granger." Hermione groaned and put her hand to her head. Two seats behind her, Harry grinned.
