Harry still couldn't believe that Dumbledore made him Head Boy. It was
understandable that Hermione got that rank but him, it was unbelievable. The
summer he highly enjoyed. He only had to stay with the Dursley's for a
week. He and Hermione visited Ron for about a month and a half and spent the
rest of the summer at Hermione's house. Her parents, to say the least, were
odd. Harry and Ron ended up walking out of the house with more dental
supplies than they thought existed. Harry also had a small-okay huge- crush on
Hermione. He just didn't have the nerve to ask her out or even tell her
he liked her.
The begging of term was uneventful, unless you count Peeves finally
being able to come to the feast. More food was thrown, in high spirits, than
was eaten. Harry and Hermione had a nice long clean up duty with the
prefects that night. The first day of potions was horrible. Snape seemed to want
to personally punish Harry for even dreaming of being Head Boy. So, in his
gracious giving mood, Snape gave them a foot and a half essay, which
happened to be due when they next had class.
"Gah...Can he be anymore evil?" Harry asked to no one, taping his quill
on his forehead. He had his potions book open and an unwelcomingly long
piece of parchment. He glanced at Hermione. She was already written a foot
longer than they needed. "Hermione, how can you write that much on Mandrake
leaves?" he asked.
"Its quite easy maybe if you paid more attention in class Harry.
"Hermione said looking at him over her long roll of parchment
"It was pretty hard to pay attention today. Snape thinks it's his job
to punish me." he said, writing a few more sentences down. He only had a
foot done.
"Oh, Harry your just jealous me and Snape are in love"
looking at the shocked look at his face she laughed and said "Oh come
on like I'd ever love Snape"
Harry nearly broke his quill in half and Ron fell out of his chair.
"Hermione, when did you get a sense of humor like that?" he asked,
bending his quill back.
"Oh come on I've always had a since of humor "she said "why are you
looking at me like that?"
Hp: "It's just...wrong coming from you. That's something I'd expect
from Ginny."
R: "Yeah Hermione...that was unexpected." he said, picking himself up
off the ground.
HG: "Oh so what? I can't have a sense of humor I have to be a book
worm"
A: "Who's a bookworm?" said Antoinette who'd was standing behind her
chair with Ginny
Hp: "I didn't mean..." he began, giving out a frustrated sigh, "You're
just trying to nettle me aren't you?" he asked, looking at Hermione.
R: Ron looked up at the new entry into their conversation. "Who are
you?" he asked.
Ginny: "Oh come on Ron your not that dense don't you remember
Antoinette she came over this summer "she said rolling her eyes
G: "My brothers so thick in the head" she said to Antoinette
Hp: "Geez Ron. Hey Antoinette. How was your first day back?" he asked,
switching the thread of conversation.
R: "Your siding with them Harry?!" Ron looked taken aback. "I'm sorry;
potions essays really knock my brain down a few notches."
A: Antoinette smiled and blushed "It was great thank you for asking
Harry"
HG: "I'm going to bed I can't take this many dense boys in one area
goodnight Ginny pleasure seeing you again Antoinette"
A: "Bye then"
G: "Goodnight"
Hp: "'Night Hermione." he said as he watched her leave. "Ginny,
McGonagall made me Captain; we have the field in a week for tryouts. Know any
people that will be any better than the sods we had last year?"
G: "Well, no Antoinette here is too scared of heights to even approach
a broom" she said pointing to Tony "But maybe...Do you now Chase Driggs?"
A: "Hey Ginny that's mean"
R: Ron is furiously trying to write his essay and is ignoring the
conversation.
Hp: "No I haven't. What year is he in?" he asked, looking around the
room. "What position does he play?"
A: Tony looked over Ron's shoulder at his essay her hair falling a bit
over the chair "you spelled Mandrake wrong"
G: "He's 6th year and he plays chaser"
R: Ron looked up at Antoinette. He scribbled out the offending word and
re-wrote it. "Thanks." he said and went back to work on his essay.
A: "Leaves is l-e-a-v-e-s not levaes"
Hp: "Excelent. We needed two more chasers. And two beaters now that I
think about it." he said, running a mental list through his head.
A: "Or is that an a or a v"
R: Ron once again glanced back at her and scribbled out the offending
word. "Than- Are you saying my handwriting is too messy to read?" he demanded
A:"I dunno maybe Ginny says you don't get very good marks"
G: "It's true he doesn't"
R: Ron's face went red as he bent over his homework.
A: "So Harry when are quidditch practices? I would like very much to
see them"
Hp: "Well I think I'm planning them for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every
other Friday."
A:"I was asking because you know Ginny's my friend and I do so hope
your mine to" she said smiling brightly at him
G: 'Oh my God' Ginny thought' get a hint Harry or does she have to
spell it out for you'
Hp: Harry smiled at her. 'I think she has a crush on me.' he thought.
"Well one would hope we would have become friends during the time we were all
at the Burrow."
A: "That's great I'm so glad I'm your friend" she said getting off the
end of Ron's chair and sitting next to Harry 'I'm glad he's not mean to me'
G: "Oh well I'm gonna go look for Chase real fast"
Hp: 'This is getting uncomfortable. But I don't want to hurt her
feelings. What a wonderful hole you got yourself into.' he thought. "Yes please
do Ginny. I need to look this guy over."
R: Ron looked up as Antoinette got up and sat on Harry's chair. A spike
of jealousy went through him. 'Wait...am I feeling jealous of Harry? Over
Antoinette? I must be mental.' he thought, still looking over at the
two.
A: Antoinette smiled at Harry" Harry will you come with me for a minute
please" she said blushing
Hp: "Er...now? Sure...okay." Harry stood up.
A: Antoinette took him aside and looked at her feet and mumbled" I uh
really like you Harry"
Hp: "Wha-" In his mind, several memories of Hermione passed in those
seconds of delay. "Are...are you sure you want to be telling this to me?" he
sighed. He'd have to tell her in order not to hurt her feelings.
"Antoinette...I...er...I sort of Like Hermione...I'm sorry." He felt
like the worst person in the world at that moment.
R: Ron looked up as Harry and Antoinette had a private conversation.
Whatever it was, made Harry feel uncomfortable. He felt another stab of
jealousy, longer this time.
A: Antoinette bit her lip" It-Its ok...I had a feeling you did"
A:"I-I think I'll go to bed"
"I'm really sorry Antoinette...I..." he ran his hand through his hair
A: Antoinette walked up the stairs and went to her dormitory 'oh well I
should've known'
G: Ginny walked up with a boy behind her she ha d grabbed his hand and
was
still holding it when she was over there "where'd Tony go?"
Hp: Harry walked pack over to his seat and finished up his essay. 'That
went...horribly.'
R: Ron watched Antoinette go up into the girl's dormitory. "She went
into her dorm." he looked at Harry for a long moment then worked on his
essay again.
Hp: Harry glanced up at Ginny. "So is this one of our new chasers?"
G: "Yeah this is him" she said still holding his hand
C: Chase looked at Harry and artfully detached his hand from Ginny's.
He gave her a brief look and held out his hand. "Names Chase Driggs."
Hp: Harry stood up and shook the boy's hand. "Are you any good? Wait,
don't answer that. I'll find out next week."
Hp: Harry bent down and collected all his homework. "Hey Ron, I'm going
up to bed." He walked up the staircase and flopped down on his
four-poster. He quickly dressed in his pajamas. The last images in his head were of
Hermione.
R: Ron glanced up as Harry left. He struggled on his essay for a few
more moments then gave up. He picked up his stuff and headed for bed
G: "Wait where'd Tony go"
R: He looked over his shoulder. "Oh...she just talked to Harry and went
upstairs." he said, the jealousy in his voice very clear.
G: Ginny turned to Chase "What's up with him do you think he likes
Tony?"
C: "I believe so." He snatched her hand back. "That was almost too
close. Good thing Hermione wasn't down here."
G: "You're right she sees everything eyes in the back of her head that
one have you told anyone?"
C: "Nope."
G: "I've told Antoinette"
C: "Well I trust her. I don't trust any of my friends to keep a
secret."
G: "I'm gonna go to bed"
