Chapter 3: ~The Show Down~
After, dinner Harry and Ron met up with Hermione on the stairs on their way to the Gryffindor Common Room. "You two are traitors," Hermione huffed at them when they passed her.
"Come on Hermione, come up to the Common Room and we'll talk this over," Ron pleaded.
"Nope, I'm staying here," Hermione, said stubbornly. "Why, you want to get your feelings hurt again, Granger?" Malfoy said from behind the trio. "Malfoy, I'm not in the mood for your wonderful attitude," Hermione said rolling her eyes, "Have you seen Chloe, Malfoy?" "Granger, are you going in for another round?" Malfoy said in an impressed voice, "No, I saw here near the head table talking to Dumbledore, the old fool." Malfoy moved on before Harry could defend Dumbledore. "Well, so long gentlemen, I have an appointment with the devil's daughter," Hermione waved as she turned to see Chloe. "Were you looking for me?" Chloe said fluttering her lashes. "Yes, Miss America, I was. You have a big, big........" Hermione muttered starting loud and getting softer as Chloe stepped on the same step as Hermione. Chloe was at least four inches taller then Hermione and very intimidating. "I am a big, big what Miss Granger? We should probably finish this in our dormitories," Chloe looked around and started to see a crowd congregating. "Some teacher may come and will all the fun would be taken away." Chloe grabbed Hermione's elbow and drug her the rest of the way to the Common Room. "Sugar Bear," she whispered to the portrait of the fat lady. As the portrait of the fat lady swung open and Chloe with Hermione entered they met with a tall strict figure. "Professor McGonagall, what a pleasant surprise." Chloe smiled as she dropped Hermione's elbow. Hermione had a look of total relief written all over her face. "Miss Lauren, you were just who I was looking for, come along." McGonagall motioned Chloe to the open portrait hole. Chloe went out and so did the professor. "God! That was WAY to close!" Hermione huffed as she sat down in an armchair next to the fire. "It's your fault. You were waiting for her, you were asking for it." Ron pointed out sitting next to her. "Well," Hermione tried to say in the right way, "She is so, so-" "You should have just accepted her apology!" Harry had to mention while taking a sit next to Ron, "She seems to be nice in a way, you guys could have been best friends." "Now that Harry mentions it, you don't hang around a lot girls. People are starting to talk." Ron pipes in. "Stop, now! Let's focus on one problem at a time, how am I supposed to avoid her? We are going to sleep in the same dormitory. What if she kills me? And makes it look like an accident?" Hermione starts to get a very worried tone in her voice. "Just say your sorry for not accepting her apology at first, and then accept it." Harry said flatly. "Oh, it's not that easy anymore, it's going to be war." Hermione said standing up and walking to her dormitory. "This isn't going to be good," Ron moans when George and Fred come over. "Harry, Ron we are starting a bet and it's Five to one Granger will end up in the Hospital Wing. Do you want in?" George said with a smile. "You might want to offer it to Malfoy," Ron muttered. "And a three to one odds of Chloe being sent home in less then two weeks. What that one either?" Fred laughs. "No thanks boys," a voice comes from behind them, as they turn Chloe is revealed with her hands on her hips, "I wouldn't waste my money on outrageous bets like that!" Fred and George back away slowly as Chloe's eyes seemed to glint, almost as if fire were gathering in them. "Sorry," Fred and George said in unison. "Fine, but leave now." Chloe said starting to shake, George and Fred immediately ran to their dormitory. Chloe sat down in the chair Hermione was just sitting in, "So you're related to those two?" She looked over to Ron. "Yes, ma'am, they are." Ron gulped. "Do they annoy you two?" "Yes, all the time. Especially when I was little, they would turn my toys into spiders and other things. And they would give my joke candy it was a horrible childhood. But, I guess they cooler now," Ron tried to end on a good note understandable they were his brothers. "Oh, are they always like that?" "Yes, but they don't mean any harm by it." "Okay, I guess I will have to apologize for that too." She took out a black notebook with flames on it and a bright red pen, and wrote down Fred and George next to another name. Which seemed to be Hermione, but Harry couldn't see it very well. "So how's Hermione?" She said putting the pen and notebook back into her pocket. "She's trying to figure out how you're going to kill her." Harry said flatly. "Oh, tell her I prefer to poison their drinks," Chloe giggled as Ron and Harry's eyes widened. "JK!" They looked at her like she was crazy, "JK means Just Kidding." They all laughed hard, "Now, I'm going to go see this Hermione character and see if I can work all this out." She stood up and then sat back down, "Is she an intellectual type? Does she blab secrets easily? It's Friday right?" "Okay, one question at a time. She is one of the smartest people in our class. I have no clue what blab means. And to night is Friday, meaning no school tomorrow." Harry informed her. "Harry, blab means tell or gossip. So does she?" Chloe urged on. "No she barely talks to anyone but us." Ron said, "rather weird see as she's a girl and we're guys. But, she's our friend. And don't think she's going to her you with your homework if you're her friend." "Thanks that's all I needed." Chloe stood up and went towards the dormitories, "Thanks you two, and if this doesn't work nothing will." Then, she went up the stairs and into the girl's dormitories. Harry and Ron soon went to bed too and as they did they talked. "What will it be like to have two girls in the group?" Ron asked Harry. "I don't know, but I hope Hermione doesn't make a new enemy this year." Harry answered when he turned out the light and went to sleep.
