Damia Alders: Aw, im sorry.
Cracking Up At This….
"Hermione?" Cody said.
She looked at him.
"Don't cry."
'"He's getting me really frustrated. I can't stand it."
"It's okay. Let me tell you what I wanted to tell you."
"Yes, Cody?"
"Well.. Draco talks to me about school and how everything is in Hogwarts. It was really weird.. He started to talk about a girl half the time.. It was always 'she's so beautiful.. she's really smart.. her personality sparkles through her eyes.. I wish I could really talk to her.' The last one got me to question him.. Talk to her? You don't talk to her. First he said, she scared him. How could a girl, you thought so nice, scare you? I asked him.. 'because she hates me'.. was all he said. 'With her wavy brown hair, her smile, and how she's not afraid to speak to someone, she's nice.. But she's a Gryffindor, and father forbids muggleborns. I speak to her, but nothing ever comes out good. Her name..Her name is Hermione." Cody finished.
Hermione looked at him in disbelief.
"Yep. That's what he said. He described you really good. I could tell who you were when you talked to me." Cody said drinking some butterbeer.
"Impossible. I don't believe you." Hermione said.
"But Hermione, I promise he said that. He likes you Hermione. I can tell."
"But Cody.. A few minutes ago he called me a mudblood."
"I know.. It was weird hearing him say that. " Cody said thoughtfully,
"Well, it wasn't weird to me. I'm used to it. Hearing it." Hermione said looking down at her Butterbeer.
"Hermione. Believe me."
"I'm sorry Cody. I can't"
"It's not impossible. Haven't you heard? Boys pick on the girls they like."
"That's typical. Malfoy isn't a typical person.. except in his own typical Malfoy way.." Hermione said the last part to herself.
"Well.. I'm not going to sit here convincing you. But just.. think about it? Or.. I guess you could forget it. I just wanted to let you know." Cody said.
"Okay.. well thanks.."
Cody smiled at Hermione.
"Fight!! Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!"
Hermione and Cody looked out by the doors.
Hermione gave a nervous laugh. "Were they serious?"
Cody looked at her, not understanding.
"About fighting outside."
"Dunno." Cody shrugged it off.
He finished his Treacle Fudge and Hermione left money on the table.
They walked outside the doors to see a crowded area. Kids in a circle, chanting names and "fight".
Hermione took Cody's hand and they pushed to the front.
Hermione gasped.
" Ron!" she screamed.
Harry standing in the middle yelling at Ron.
He and Malfoy were going at it.
"Forget this muggle junk." Malfoy said.
They both drew out their wands.
"Ron, stop now before you get in serious trouble." Harry said.
"Back off Harry."
Hermione pulled Harry to her.
"Why are they fighting?" Hermione asked.
"You know Ron. Over protective. Its because he thinks Malfoy was bothering you."
Cody came out of a silent trance.
He tugged on Hermione's cloak. She looked down at him. She had to be about 4 inches taller.
"You've got to stop them."
"We're trying Cody."
"No, forget yelling it. Just.. try and stop them. Something bad will happen out of it if you don't."
"Cody?"
"CRUCIO!!"
=====================================
"He got hit with the cruciatus curse, sir."
"Ms. Granger, Mr. Potter please come with me to my office so we can discuss what happened." The voice of Albus Dumbledore said.
"It's Malfoy's fault!!" A voice yelled.
The three turned around to see Ron sitting up in the Hospital Wing bed.
"Ron!!" Hermione said rushing to him.
"Now that you are awake, Mr. Weasley, could you tell me your side of the story?" Professor Dumbledore asked.
"Yes. See.. We were in Crackle-O's when I saw Malfoy bothering Hermione.."
"He wasn't bothering me.." Hermione said, thinking about what Cody told her. "He just called me.. a mudblood" She said in a small voice.
"Ms. Granger.. please."
"I asked him if he was bothering her, he asked me what I was gonna do about it. So I told him let's go and see and-" Ron cursed.
"I mean, I asked him if he was bothering her, and he said yes.. and" Ron stuttered. "shit." He finished lamely.
"Mr. Weasley.. did you start the fight?" Professor Dumbledore said.
"Well…. I…. See he provoked me and.."
"As I understand, he was, yes, bothering Ms. Granger.. but where did the fight come in? Going with your first story, you invited him."
Ron looked down.
"You both will be punished. You have a weeks detention."
"And Malfoy?" Ron said.
"He will have a months detention. He performed an unforgivable."
"But.. he should be sent to Azkaban!!"
"Mr. Weasley. Mr. Malfoy…. Has been through some situations.. And, please don't argue.. We had to have settled down on this. Mr. Malfoy agrees its fair."
"Okay.." Ron said lamely.
"Well, I best be off. I have a meeting to attend to. And Mr. Weasley, feel better, Madame Pomfrey has left some chocolate on your table." Professor Dumbledore stepped out.
"Ron, how could you?" Hermione asked.
"He was bothering you, 'Mione."
"Don't call me that. No he wasn't. He was talking to his brother, and I interfered.
"I have homework to do.. See you later." Hermione said swiftly leaving the room.
Hermione was sitting in her couch when someone entered in the Common Room.
She looked up.
Malfoy.
She resumed doing her homework.
"Granger."
"Malfoy." She responded not looking up.
"I need to talk to you."
"Oh how sweet, well I don't need to talk to you." Hermione responded sarcastically.
"Granger, I'm serious."
She put her quill down.
"What do you want, Malfoy"
"you've been hanging out with my brother." He said looking away.
"How very observant of you."
"Don't get smart with me mudblood." He snapped.
Slap
"Don't you dare call me that. Never again." She stormed up the stairs.
He touched his cheek where there was a handprint.
"Granger.." he mumbled.
He sat down in his couch and closed his eyes.
"Why do you do this?" He whispered.
-------------------------------------
"Hermione?"
"mmmm?"
"Get up Hermione"
"mmmm?"
"HERMIONE!!"
She immediately sat up.
"What!!"
It was Dean.
"It's 9:00, Breakfast started and Harry and Ron are waiting for you."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
He walked out.
Hermione went to the bathroom for her shower.
When she came out, her bed was made.
She decided on a mini denim skirt and Burgundy 3/4-sleeved top.
She did a spell for her hair to fall in soft curls that reached below her shoulders.
A little eyeliner and lipgloss and she left.
Hermione got to the Gryffindor table, and took a seat between Harry and Ron.
"Morning Hermione." Harry said.
"Morning Harry, morning Ron."
"Hello Hermione."Cody sat down across from her.
"How are you, Hermione." He asked.
"Okay, and you?"
"Okay."
"Hey Hermione, could you meet me in the Astronomy tower tonight at 10? I need help learning how to do this.."
"Sure, Cody.""
"Thanks.. Could you pass the eggs?"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was 9:45 and Hermione was sitting in her room reading Hogwarts: A History.
Ginny was talking animatedly about something.
"Right?"
"Huh?" Hermione said.
"Cody's really nice, right."
"Oh. Yeah."
"It's nice that a Malfoy could actually-"
Hermione went back to her reading.
"Hermione!!"
"Yes, Ginny?"
"It's 9:58."
"That's nice."
"Hermione!!"
"Yes Ginny?"
"Aren't you meeting him at 10?"
"Meeting who--Oh!! Gin, you're right."
Hermione closed her book and put it on her bookshelf.
"Thanks for stopping by."
They both walked out of the Common Room together. Ginny went her way and Hermione went another.
Her watch said 10.
Hermione rushed up the stairs and had just got to the door of the Astronomy tower.
She saw Cody's blonde hair sparkling in the moonlight.
He stood by the window looking out.10:02
"Sorry I'm late Cody. Ginny was over and I was reading and -"
"Cody?" a male voice, which didn't sound like Cody said.
