Third chapter, enjoy! Please read & review. This chapter is kind of weird
because it's just them at first just figuring out how different their lives
will be. But I really liked writing this chapter, the emotions, ooh! I
finished all my Christmas shopping and am now broke, just thought I'd say
that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Hermione went into the sixth year boy's dorm and started moving Harry's stuff out. The first thing that they had to change was the living arrangements, Mrs McGonagal's voice was still in his mind.
"Harry, you are to move into the girl's dormitory since it would be less problematic for you to move in with the girls than if Hermione moved in with the boys."
'How do I get myself into these problems..' he thought, with a piece of luggage under his arm. He blushed at the thought that he would be living with girls now.
"Secondly, we will make Hermione's bed larger and set a spell on it so that you stay on your respective sides. "
'Respective sides.. did she think that we would..' Hermione thought, turning beet red.
They walked up the steps to the girl's dorm.
"And lastly, the matter of your courses. You have a choice, either you take turns going to Harry's classes on one day and then Hermione's the next day, but this would make it so you have so much homework to catch up on so I advise against it. Or the second choice is for one of you to drop the courses you don't have with the other and take their courses. This would mean that you'd have to catch up with the rest of the class but it can be achieved within a few weeks time."
Harry had chosen to drop divination and go into Arithmancy with Hermione since she looked so upset at the thought of getting back into Divination.
Now they were in the girl's dormitory. Lavender and Parvati gasped at the sight of them.
"So it's true! You are staying here!" They said to Harry.
"Uh.. yeah but you know, it's because they didn't want Hermione in a dormitory full of guys." He offered.
They nodded but looked at Harry suspiciously. He was nervous already, he didn't think Parvati forgot about him ignoring her at the fourth year winter ball. Hermione looked at Harry and squeezed his hand. He looked to her and she smiled encouragingly. He smiled too and put down his suitcase.
"Hey Hermione, Ron's saying a whole lot of stupid stuff, is it true that.." Ginny came in, and stopped, seeing Harry.
She frowned slightly.
"So he wasn't lying like a stupid git, I thought you guys had just gotten together and he was saying that you were stuck because he was jealous." She said, laughing.
"How many people think that?" Hermione asked, with Harry scuffling his feet uncomfortably.
"Lots." Lavender said.
"Yeah, so many people were talking about you guys." Parvati added.
"..And how did it happen, really? People are going on about an ancient curse or something." Ginny said.
Harry tensed and Hermione widened her eyes. They knew that a lot of people had been staring at them in the hallways but they didn't think that that many people had seen them.
"Well.. Neville made a potion and we got it on our hands and it made us stuck together." Hermione explained.
"Oh so someone had gotten that stuff on themselves.. No one besides you guys and Neville have seemed to get some on yourselves, isn't that strange?" Parvati asked.
"But a better question would be why were you guys holding hands?" Lavender asked.
The three girls looked over to them.
Harry jumped in quickly, " Well, um we had to get out of there quickly and I didn't really know what that gunk would do exactly so I pulled her out of there.." he said, blushing.
"Yeah, for all we know that stuff could have been poisonous." Hermione added.
Lavender and Parvati merely smiled mischievously. They seemed all right with Harry staying there until they found an antidote. Ron, however wasn't.
"Harry, where did your stuff go?" He asked when they came back to the common room.
Harry got an uncomfortable look on his face and wondered how to put it.
"Well, Ron, the thing is I won't exactly be staying in the boy's dormitory anymore." He said, sneaking a look to Hermione, who was looking rather uncomfortable herself.
'Great, he's going to be so mad.' She thought.
"Since we're still stuck," She lifted their connected hands up to emphasise it. "He's staying in the girl's dormitory."
Ron looked mortified.
"Wait.. you mean you two.. together.. bed?" He said, unbelieving.
"Quiet Ron.." Harry said, nervously, looking around the room.
"And.. Harry is not staying in the boy's dormitory?" Ron asked.
"There's not much we can do, Ron, until we find an antidote." Hermione said to him.
He shook his head and stomped off to the dormitory. Harry and Hermione shared a look.
"Do you think he'll be alright?" She asked.
"I think so, I mean, it's not our fault, he can't stay mad at us.. I think." He said, unsure.
That night in the common room Hermione was helping Harry catch up in Arithmancy. Looking down at his papers filled with notes, provided by Hermione, Harry stopped and looked at her. She looked back into his green eyes, confused.
"What?" she asked, putting a sheet of notes down.
"This is going to be weird." He answered.
She looked down to the notes.
"Yeah, it is." She replied.
"There always seems to be rumours about one of us, and now it's going to be even worse." He said, looking away too.
"Couldn't be helped I guess, but I'm glad I got stuck with you instead of anyone else." She said, looking to him.
He met her eyes.
"Really?" he asked.
She nodded.
"Yeah, sure it would have been easier if it was with a girl, but I'm better friends with you, so if it had to happen again I wouldn't change a thing." She said.
Harry smiled, Hermione smiled too, his smile was addictive and it was hard to resist.
"You say that now but wait until a week has gone by and you'll be begging Neville to find an antidote." He said.
"What makes you think you won't crack first?" She asked, resting her cheek on her left hand.
"Because I'm glad I got stuck with you too." He said.
Hermione laughed.
"You mean you're glad you get to sleep in the girl's dormitory." She said.
"No way, if it were up to me, I'd be in the guy's dormitory, I won't be able to stand Lavender and Parvati's constant giggling for long." He laughed.
"I had to live with it for five years, so you better get used to it." She said.
Harry looked over to the dying fire.
"Hmm it's pretty late." He said.
She nodded.
"Yeah we better get to sleep." She said.
'Have to get used to the we part of it.' He thought, getting nervous and blushing slightly.
In the dim room Hermione didn't see him blush.
'Okay.. now this will be extremely awkward but I hope it'll be alright.' She thought as they went upstairs.
Knowing that getting changed wouldn't be possible with their hands connected, Professor Mcgonagal taught them and incantation for changing clothes. Hermione changed into some pyjamas and so did Harry. If he had been in the boy's dormitory he would have just changed into some pyjama bottoms and wear nothing on top but since he was staying in the girl's dormitory he decided to change his nightwear slightly.
They got in the bed. They kept a respectable distance between themselves thanks to the spell. Hermione wasn't used to sleeping in a bed with someone else so she was awake for awhile. She heard Harry sigh and knew he wasn't either.
