Chapter 5 – One Bird, Two Birds
"Show your self, right this instance! Or else!" said Hermione with a clear voice so the person who obviously was playing 'hide and seek' could hear her perfectly.
"Or else what? Please enlighten me. What are you going to do to me if I don't?" said the person with a teasing and annoying voice.
"Well I will... I will..." started Hermione, but she was quickly cut off by the other person.
"That's what I thought. You don't have the guts to do something about it. You are nothing but an ugly mudblood who doesn't know her real place... yet! But don't worry, me and my buddies will help you with that," said the person. Hermione could now hear that the voice wasn't a male, but a woman or to be more precise, a girl.
She looked at the dark corner, waiting for somebody to show them self. And suddenly the person started to walk forward towards Hermione.
'Oh my God! I should have known it would be someone like Pansy!' thought Hermione while the person slowly became the figure of Pansy Parkinson, also known as Pansy Pig face or better yet, Pansy Parkin-slut. She was the Queen of Slytherin, many thought.
"Oh, and by the way," said Pansy when she was so close to Hermione, that she could actually smell her disgusting breath, "Stay away from Draco. He's mine. Got it?"
"Fine by me! But you might want to tell him that too, because it is him that is following me and NOT the other way around... got it?" yelled Hermione with much anger. It actually felt great to let it out. The last couple of days she had been frightened and scared, but after hearing what Pansy just said, the anger started to take over her fear.
She waited for Pansy to make a come back. But that was clearly something Pansy was not able to do. After Hermione had said that to her, her face had become a bit pale.
"What do you mean? Clearly it is YOU that is coming on to Draco and not him to you! Why would he want a mudblood when he could get me?" asked Pansy with a somewhat nervous voice.
Before Hermione could answer the other girl's question, The Slytherin girl turned around and walked quickly down the corridor, disappearing into the shadows once again.
"Well that was... odd. That girl is a total freak!" said Hermione out loud to herself.
She continued down the corridor, and finally reached the stairs, so she could get out of the Slytherin territory.
'Finally,' she thought and took the last step of the stairs and found herself now standing in the hall. It was way past lunch, but she really didn't mind. She wasn't all that hungry.
She decided to go for a walk outside, in the nice sunny weather. 'I do believe it is time to visit my private spot once again,' she thought and smiled of the mere thought of the perfect place she had found three years ago.
She opened the main doors and walked outside in the sun. It was a bit cold, comparing to the first day back of the year, where it was so hot that she felt like she was melting. And that was only three or four weeks ago.
She looked at the sky and couldn't help but thinking how wonderful life would be if the Slytherin trio didn't exist. Nobody to bug her, or make fun of her, wouldn't that just be paradise?
She walked slowly toward her spot. There weren't that many outside in this great but cold weather. A few kids from first or second year were running around and playing games she had never played before. Or... actually, that was not completely true. Six or seven kids were playing 'hide and seek', which she had just 'played' with Pansy.
'Why can't Pansy understand that I don't want Malfoy?' thought Hermione, while she walked the rest of the way to her private place.
'And if I did want him, it would be none of her business! But I don't want him! The thought is outrageous! A pureblood and a 'mudblood' together would not be accepted... But anyway, I don't want him. Why would I? Okay, so he has a great body, amazing silver eyes, perfect silver hair, he's not totally lost when it comes to school works... But I don't want him! He's mean and a Slytherin for god's sake! It would never work,' thought Hermione, trying to convince herself that she didn't want Malfoy.
She turned her attention back to the younger kids. So very young and happy, running around like nothing else mattered to them. She tried to think about something else. 'Think about the wonderful weather, that will cheer you up 'Mione.'
It was indeed a beautiful Sunday. A day you ought to spend with all of your friends. Well, even a good book would be nice. But no... that was not what she wanted to do right now. All she wanted was to lay in the green grass on a carpet and just listen to all the voices and noise and take in the intoxicating smell that lay around Hogwarts.
She finally reached her goal. Her private place, her special place.
The surroundings were beautiful. It was open, but still hidden from everybody who didn't know about it. It was quiet, but you could still hear everything that went on nearby. It was breathtaking. It was gorgeous. It was perfect!
She stood beside the bench. An old green bench, which looked like it had been there for many years, or even centuries. She loved the bench. It had some interesting smells. She could study it for hours, and all the carved letters that you almost couldn't see. It looked like the ones who had imprinted the letters were afraid of people would find out or something like that.
But right now the bench wasn't what took her attention. Right now it was something else.
It was a small bird. So young, free and without problems, it was. If only she could fly like a bird. She spread out her arms, not caring if anybody saw her or what he or she would think of her. Why should she? Nobody was here. This was her place. Right now she felt like that bird. Right now it was she and not the bird that was flying. She was the one without problems.
Then suddenly she felt somebody else present and opened her eyes to see whom it was. That kid again. Seamus Finnigan.
'What does he want now,' she thought and couldn't help but notice how shy he looked, and handsome, and... and sweet.
'Wait... How did he know about this place?' she thought and looked at him, waiting for the answer.
He didn't say anything. Just looked at her.
"How did you know about this place? I thought I was the only one who knew," she asked him, when she got impatient.
She waited for him to say something to answer her, but he didn't. He just looked at her. 'Weird kid,' she thought and looked away from his gaze.
She looked at the bird again, but it wasn't alone anymore. Another bird was now flying with it. She didn't needed to look at Finnigan to know that he was still there. She could feel his presence. After being 'alone' for so many years, another person wasn't that easy to just ignore.
What did he really want? He never did tell her in the great hall.
"Is there something I can help you with," she asked him without turning towards the boy. No need to. He was still there. She could hear him breathing.
"Well... I... I just wanted to know..." he stuttered. He was obviously nervous. She didn't need to hear the rest. She knew what he wanted.
"Which subject do you need help with?" She asked him again. Homework. That was the reason. It was always the reason.
The two birds was now sitting in a tree so close together that she almost couldn't tell if there were one or two birds.
"Well... it's potions," said Seamus so fast that she nearly missed it. What was it with boys and homework? Why were they always afraid of asking for help? Why did they always ask her, when they clearly didn't wanted her company?
"Will you help me?" asked Finnigan after a couple of minutes.
She looked at him. 'To help or not to help, that is the question. Why should I help him? I don't know him that well. But then again, maybe I will get to know him better, if I help him. Yeah, I will help him, or at least give him a chance, I hate guys who doesn't take school work seriously.'
"Okay, I will help you. But the first time you don't show up, without letting me know, I won't help you anymore!"
Seamus face turned from a worried look into a huge smile.
"Thank you so much!" Said Finnigan and walked forward as to hug her. But he never did.
"Eh... The first lesson will be tomorrow after dinner. Meet me in the library at... why don't we say at 7:30? That will give us enough time to eat and plenty of time to work afterwards before the curfew."
"Yeah, 7:30 it's totally okay with me. What shall I bring? Just the Potion book?" Seamus asked.
"Yeah, just the book, the rest we can find at the library," said Hermione while nodding to Finnigan, to tell him that it was okay with just the book.
"Thanks Granger... Eh, Hermione... Thanks!" he said, and Hermione could see that he was blushing.
"You're welcome Seamus, now go, I will see you tomorrow," said Hermione while she ushered him out of her place.
When he was gone, she couldn't hold back what she was thinking. "Boys! Totally freaks! Every single one of them!" and then she lay down in the green grass and smiled. 'Well, even though they are all freaks, some of them is sure handsome,' she thought thinking about Finnigan and Malfoy.
A/N: So, did you like it? I know that it has been awhile since my last update, but I'm stuck on this stupid writers-block! Any ideas for the story would be appreciated.
