The sunlight hit my face, waking me up from a recurring nightmare. I walked slowly to the bathroom. Turned on the tap, the hot water cascading down my back. Checking if no one had gotten up yet, everybody was still in bed. I walked to the Great Hall for an early breakfast.
Professors and some 4th years were the only ones up. I was so deep into my thought that I did not even notice Hermione saying may name. "Ron, hello are you in there?" "Huh? o hi Hermione. What are you doing up this early?" "Are you avoiding Harry, Ron?" "No why, would I be doing that?" "How should I know?" Hermione sat down and like the conversation never started she opened at thick book. Seeing this I just went back to my breakfast (or the remains of it.)
I heard someone sit in front of me; it was Harry. My heartbeat was beating so fast it goes to my throat. Just seeing him made me get butterflies in my stomach, "You got up late Harry" Hermione said watching him with eagle eyes. "I didn't sleep very well" "Any reason?" "Nope just couldn't sleep" "What do we have today Ron?" "Hearing my name I looked up at him saying "transfiguration, I think" "Oh, okay"
The bell rang shrilling in the great hall. "We should go" I said. Hermione saw this exchange with a confused expression. I could practically see the wheels turning in the head. I walked out quickly because I didn't want her to ask me questions. Harry and Hermione ran quickly to my side. Suddenly I hear a familiar drawl saying "My, my, my what do we have here, if it isn't weasel with his boyfriend potty" "Fuck off Malfoy" I said with all the hate that I could manage. "Touchy, aren't we weasel?" I copuld already feel my ears turning red. I quickly turned around and said slowly "I said fuck off" Smirking Malfoy and his cronies walked away. "What was that al about?" "No clue"
Before the bell rang Professor McGonagall stood in fron of the door to the class. And closed the door quickly before we took our usual seats. She stood in front and said "Today, we shall be starting human transformations" "Can anybody explain to me the difference of animagi, and human transformations?"
As usual Hermione raised her hand. "Yes, Ms. Granger." "The difference is that animagi can transform into any one animal without a wand and could do it so multiple times, and human transformations can transform to any creature and object with the use of the want." "10 points to Gryffindor" "As Ms. Granger said that human transformations need a wand and incantation while animagi do not. With that she droned on about it. I was supposed to be taking notes but all I was doing was scribbling on the piece of parchment. I love Harry. Hermione kept glancing at me annoyingly.
I looked at Harry and he kept staring out the window. I looked at my old-hand-me-down watch it said that the bell was going to ring in 5 minutes, good thing that I wasn't double transfigurations today. Professor McGonagall suddenly stared at the clock and assigned us 5 inches on the uses of human transformations.
Walking out into the corridor, I was glad that I not longer had Divinations so I had an hour and a half for doing nothing. Hermione said goodbye to us and walked to her ancient runes class. Harry and I walked to Gryffindor tower. The silence between us was comforting. Stealing glances at him I saw him with his stunning green eyes glazed with a tired look.
Breaking the silence I said 'Do you want to play Wizard Chess?" "Sure." Sitting before him I knew that something was wrong. "Anything bothering you, Harry?" "No, I'm just tired" "Check." He looked confused "How did you do that?" "Never mind, I can never beat you at this' "Checkmate" He sighed "Okay now you're scaring me Harry, what's on your mind" "It's... never mind, it's nothing" He said suddenly walking up the stairs. That's weird.
