Chapter 5: A Surprise Visit
Hermione:
Hermione slowly opened her eyes. She was amazed to find herself in the Hospital Wing instead of her Transfiguration class. Hermione sat up. Why am I here? She thought.
"Miss Granger, glad you're awake," Madame Pomfrey's voice startled Hermione. Hermione turned to see Madame Pomfrey coming towards her, carrying some vials of potions.
"How did I get here?" she asked. Madame Pomfrey went to her bedside table to prepare a potion for Hermione to drink.
"You fainted, and lucky for you, Miss Weasley caught you before you hit the floor," she explained. Hermione cringed. Madame Pomfrey had cured her before when Hermione worked herself too hard. It was then Madame Pomfrey had told her she didn't want to see her again because she worked too hard. Hermione took a vow to keep her promise. So much for that, she thought, staring guiltily down at her lap.
"How long was I out?" Hermione asked. Madame Pomfrey stirred Hermione's potion.
"3 days," she replied. Hermione nearly fell of the bed.
"3 days?!" she exclaimed, thinking about all the work she'll need to catch up on. Before Hermione could throw off the bed covers and get out of the bed, Madame Pomfrey pushed her back down the bed, ignoring her protests.
"You will NOT get out of here unless you drink this," she said, shoving the potion on Hermione's face. Hermione wrinkled her nose. The potion smelled like fish. Hermione took a deep breath and drank the potion. Madame Pomfrey smiled and took the empty goblet when Hermione was done.
"I'm keeping you here for a little while just to make sure you're okay," Madame Pomfrey said, much to Hermione's disappointment.
"Meanwhile, you can enjoy what your admirers gave you." Madame Pomfrey grinned and pointed to a table, where a huge pile of sweets and other stuff were all piled up. Hermione's eyes widened. That's bloody huge! She thought, going through the stuff. There were some from her friends, classmates, Roger Davies (Hermione squealed at this) and guys that she never heard of. She was so busy looking through everything that she didn't notice Harry come in until he cleared his throat. Hermione looked up, and seeing Harry, she immediately frowned.
"What do you want Potter?" she asked dully. Harry cleared his throat again, but said nothing. Hermione raised an eyebrow. He looks nervous, she thought, inwardly laughing because she knows she was the cause of his discomfort.
"Potter, if you're not going to talk, then bugger off," she said. At this, Harry decided to speak.
"McGonagall told me to give you your work," he said, handing her a bundle of work. Hermione frowned again. She made a note (and remembering it this time) not to faint anymore.
"Speaking of which," Harry continued on, slightly irritating Hermione. Can't this guy shut up? She thought.
"Guess what?" Harry said, sitting down to a chair beside Hermione's bed. Hermione stared at him.
"What?" she asked. Harry pulled out their project and handed it to her.
"I finished it," he said with a grin. Hermione looked at their project, hoping that Harry didn't make a mistake. Surprisingly, not only did he find out what potion it was, but he also found out what its purpose and how to use it properly and other stuff that she was trying to find. And they all made sense! Hermione slowly smiled and turned to Harry, who was now looking at her with uncertainty.
"This is nice work," she said. Hermione could've sworn Harry's cheeks turned slightly pink. Hermione smirked.
"I didn't know you had brains," she remarked. Harry looked at her dully.
"I see someone's back to normal," he replied, causing Hermione to laugh.
I can't believe we're getting along! She thought, unaware that Harry was thinking along the same lines.
"So does this mean we're okay now? I mean, you haven't told me off yet," Harry said once Hermione stopped laughing. Hermione tried to look thoughtful, then snorted.
"Are you stupid Potter? Of course not!" she exclaimed. She didn't notice Harry's hurt expression.
"When will you ever forgive me?" Harry asked. Hermione shrugged while taking a chocolate frog and nibbling on it.
"Potter, you have to understand that I will never like you even if you deflated your big head," Hermione replied. Suddenly, Harry stood up.
"Well, it's lunch time. I should head back," he said, hiding his face, which was now filled with hurt. This time, Hermione noticed.
"Hope you'll feel better soon," Harry said before leaving. Hermione stared at his retreating back. What's his problem? He makes it sound like what I said was a bad thing, she thought. Hermione decided after some thinking that it was some thing guys go through and popped the rest of the chocolate frog in her mouth.
Besides, it's just Potter. A guy who cares about no one else other than him, Hermione thought before lying back down on the bed and taking a nap.
Harry:
Harry closed the door to the Hospital Wing and sighed.
There's just no use convincing her, he thought sadly. But that doesn't mean he was going to give up! Harry decided to go back to the Common Room when someone called him.
"Harry!" Harry turned and gulped when he saw Cho walking towards him.
"Why haven't you talked to me after our date a week ago?!" she exclaimed. Harry opened his mouth to speak, but Cho cut him off.
"Wait, don't tell me. I've seen you follow Granger around. You don't need to tell me anything," she said. Harry felt guilty.
"Cho-" he started but Cho cut him off again.
"It doesn't matter anyway," she said. Then she smiled.
"I just have one thing to say," she said, taking out her wand. Harry could've stopped her, if he didn't leave his wand in his room. Cho smiled sweetly at him.
"SILENCIO!" she cried out. Then she left, leaving
Harry without a voice. Harry silently cursed. Damn you Cho! He thought.
Then Harry thought about what Hermione said about him being so big-headed.
Harry sighed for about the millionth time. Now I see what she means, he
thought before heading off to the Common Room, defeated. Way to go, Potter.
Jae: I'M SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER! (well at least I think it is… * ponders
for a minute *)
* Door opens, and Crookshanks comes in, carrying a bouquet of pink roses *
Jae: Aw, Crookshanks! Is this for me?
* Crookshanks purred *
Jae: * takes the bouquet from Crookshanks * It's from… T.J.! * throws the bouquet carelessly at her bed. *
Jae: If he thinks winning my apology back by giving me my favourite flower, he is SO wrong! Anyways, I hope you guys review! See you next time!
* Preview of the Next Chapter *
"POTTER WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? TALK YOU STUPID PRAT!" Hermione yelled. Harry silently groaned in frustration.
"I CAN'T!" he mouthed. This time, Hermione groaned.
"Well I'm not going to waste my time talking to a dolt like you!" she exclaimed before stomping off. Harry grabbed her arm, causing her to turn.
"POTTER, LET-" she was cut off because Harry had pulled her to him and smashed his lips on hers.
