Harry guessed it was him.until.
'HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TELL YOU? I.DON'T- LIKE-ANTHONY!' bellowed Hermione. 'YOU'RE JUST IMPOSSIBLE!'
Anthony? Who's Anthony? Harry thought, slightly. He was a lot disappointed she wasn't fighting for him.
Hermione strode off, pushing some people to the side. She was steaming mad, even when she saw Anthony looking like he'd been embarrassed she continued to go to her dorm muttering 'Who does she think she is?'
The commotion was over and people began returning back to their places.
'Uh.. Melissa, what was that about?' asked Harry, he beat Ron to it.
'Well, we were having this "girl" talk and we were naming cute guys.' she began. 'Of course you're MY cute guy, Ron.' she assured him.' Anyway, when we got to Anthony, I was like,' you like him, don't you?' and she kept denying it. I wasn't born yesterday, I see how she looks at him. Then she went all hysterical at me. Really weird.' she said.
It WAS weird, Hermione never acted like that. Even if she was provoked, she'll only scream when she's right, Harry thought.
He decided that he'd find out what was wrong.
He went and got the nearest parchment and quill and began writing.
Hermione, Would you meet me at the fireplace at one? Harry
Suddenly it hit him. He forgot to meet Sirius!
He didn't know what to do. What if.he didn't dare imagine what could've happened. Then it hit him again. If he was caught, it'd be on the newspaper and everyone would be talking about it. So far, no one was.
He decided to write to Sirius and apologize.
Dear Sirius, I'm sorry I didn't meet you on Christmas Eve, I completely forgot! I hope we can meet again soon. I'm really sorry, please, you have to meet me. I have some questions. Harry.
He folded the two letters and was going to ask Hedwig and a barn owl to give them to the recipients when he noticed Hedwig was gone. He went to the owlery instead. He got two barn owls and sent them on their way.
Whoever this "Anthony" was, Harry suddenly had the urge to sneak into Hagrid's hut, find the nearest rake and stab him to death with it. (When Dani first wrote this one of her fans had an obsession with 'raking' people. Lol)
Of course, he'd never do that. He would love to, though.
It was half past 12.Harry waited impatiently for Hermione. Where was she?
But the of course, he did say at one. He waited for half an hour more. After that, he waited ten more minutes.
He finally got the clue that she wasn't coming and stood up from the armchair.
'You're leaving?' asked a voice behind him.
'Nope. Just stretching.' he said to her.
'Well, what's so important that we had to meet at one?' asked Hermione, rubbing her eyes.
'Uh.'he began.
'If it's about Anthony, I don't like him, okay?' she interrupted.
'It's not.that much. You've been acting really weird lately, is anything the matter?' he asked cautiously.
She stayed quiet for a while, then she spoke.
'Well.I was just frustrated at something. Also, people think Melissa's the perfect girl! Well guess what? She has the hots for about every guy in school!'
'Really? Every guy?. I mean, why were you frustrated?'
'Well.. I have this memory.it wants to come out but it seems trapped. It really drives me nuts, you know?'
'That's all?.. I mean.. Anything else?'
Hermione was narrowing her eyes.
'Well.I'm kinda. nah.. nevermind. It's too embarrassing.'
'What? Don't be embarrassed.'
'Fine, I'm kinda worried that other girls, specifically Gabrielle, might be smarter than me. I'm not crazy, okay?' she said.
Harry tried his best to hold his laugh. He was even willing to get the rake from Hagrid's and thrust it to himself just to hold his laughter.
'See? You're laughing at me. This is so embarrassing.' she said, blushing.
'I.. not.. hehe.. laughing!' he laughed.
'I think I'll go right back to bed, goodnight, Harry.'
'Wait! Could you do me the slightest favor of.. um. not going out with other guys? Not that I have feelings for you.'
She smiled. 'And why would I not go out with them? It's a free country.'
This time, HE narrowed HIS eyes.
'You don't wanna know.'
'Oh don't I?' she giggled.
Harry needed to change the subject. It had always worked.
'I wrote to Sirius today. I didn't meet him at Christmas. I asked him if we could meet again.' he said, quickly.
'Oh? When is that?'
'Not sure yet, I'll know when.if I get his reply.'
And with that, the silence grew and eventually, both went back to their dorms. Harry had a dreamless sleep that night.
Christmas holidays were over as of today. They were going back on their studying again.
Classes resumed normally today. For some reason, the teachers looked awful today, most of the student body wondered why.
It was clear the moment Dumbledore spoke that something was up.
'Today, we'll be having the Ministry take down notes on how we have our classes. Be at your best behavior and not bother any of the men in black robes.' he said this so casually and cheerful that it was hard to still think he and Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, were having their differences.
It was unbelievable that until now, Fudge still didn't believe Voldemort has risen to power. With Peter loose, Sirius not cleared and Harry still alive, they had no evidence to state that he had.
After breakfast, the students headed for their first lessons. That's when they noticed the men in black robes.
'I'm gonna have trouble seeing Sirius now. The Ministry's everywhere!' he whispered to Hermione.
'I know, what now?'
'Well, he did say he'll see me in Hagrid's hut. I think it's far too late to tell him not to come. He sent me his reply two days after I wrote to him, which was 5 days ago. He's probably nearer than we think. But I'll still owl him. I'll tell him not to come anymore. We'll just have to talk some other time.' he told Hermione.
He did write to Sirius after classes.
Dear Sirius,
I don't think it's a good idea, you coming here. The place has dozens of Ministry people. Who knows what they'll do when they catch you? Let's meet another time, when they've left.
Take care, Harry
He sent it with Hedwig as she had come back from her late night flying before.
Within two days, Harry received the answer.
Dear Harry, I know about those Ministry people. But I've got to tell you something and.. and.. I can't say now. WE MUST MEET. How about on May 14th? I've heard that when the Ministry's leaving. We really need to talk so I hope we can. Sirius
May 14th? But January merely just began! He couldn't wait till Sirius came. He had loads of questions.
