Chapter Three: Surprises
"Diagon Alley," Hermionie said clearly, before vanishing in a puff of green smoke.
"You're up next Harry," pointed out Ginny after the boy continued to stare at the fire place where Hermionie two seconds ago once stood.
"Yeah, OK," replied Harry, a bead of sweat forming on his brow before dripping down to the floor.
He started to recall the first time he had used floo powder, ending him up in Knockturn Alley which wasn't his best experience.
He was brought back to reality by the constant poking in the head by Ron.
"Ow!" he said, rubbing his head.
"Go on mate, we don't got all day!"
Harry just sighed before taking a handful of floo powder.
----------
Hermionie landed with a thump on the hard wood floor of Flourish and Botts (Is it Blotts?) to see the warm face of Mrs.Weasley.
"Well hellow dear! Are the rest on their way?" she greeted.
"Yup. Harry's supposed to be right after."
"Oh," Mrs.Weasley replied, her face creasing slightly in worry, remember Harry's first attempt at Flooing.
"Well, I'll be on my way now, gotta get some Head-Girl stuff that doesn't exactly require Harry and Ron following," Hermionie joked, although Mrs.Weasley didn't find it very funny.
"Well I guess you best be getting off buying your Head-Girl stuff" she said, giggling merrily at the last part.
Hermionie just got of the floor confused before giving Mrs.Weasley one last smile before getting up and walking through a sea of people to the other side of the book store where she needed to purchase the books she required.
As she bent down to retrieve a book she needed, a cold malicious voice was heard behind her as a 17 year old blond approached
"Well, well. What do we have here? Mudblood still the bookworm I see."
----------
"Oww, Ron!" moaned Harry as Ron's feet collided with the emerald-eyed boys head.
"Sorry mate, but you see, after you floo to a fireplace, you sorta have to get up and move," replied Ron happy sarcasm filling his voice. (A/N: happy sarcasm.. lol)
Harry rubbed his head once more before standing up and greeting Mrs.Weasley.
"See you haven't landed in Knockturn alley this time eh?" she joked, dusting of Harry's robes in a motherly way.
"Nope, not this time."
A thud was heard as Ginny finally made it down the fireplace and into the bookshop.
"Well, we're all here so I guess you best start buying our books." Mrs.Weasley finally said.
"Sure thing mum," Ron replied before dragging Harry and Ginny of to the Quidditch book aisle, completely forgetting the books they had to buy for school leaving a Mrs.Weasley smiling to herself before venturing to the aisle that held books written by Gilderoy Lockhard. (A/N: Spelling?)
----------
"Still the arrogant, ugly brat, I see?" Hermionie retorted back, eyeing him in disgust.
However in the back of her head, she was somewhat enjoying the view infront of her for Draco had changed from a puny 1st year to a strong, lean 7th year, although she would never admit that.
Draco seemed to be in the same state, eyeing up Hermionie in mild interest until Hermionie realized he was staring.
"Take a picture, it lasts longer," Hermionie said, triumph filling her eyes as Draco's cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
"Why would I want to take a picture of you….mudblood?"
"I've been wondering the same thing actually," Hermionie countered, before resuming back to her book looking.
"I mine-as-well quit this Head-Boy job if I'm going to have to live with her!" Draco muttered to himself.
"What was that?" Hermionie asked, her eyes going wide in shock.
"Wait no don't bother responding… YOU'RE HEAD-BOY???" Hermionie raged, as Draco was about to open his mouth to reply.
"What's it to you??"
"The fact that I have to live with a slimy git as yourself for 10 WHOLE months. 10! Do you know how witless you are?? And now I have to live with it… ARGH!" Hermionie screamed before retreating to the cashier to buy her books.
"Same to you Granger!" Draco yelled back, finally realizing the reality of having to live with the brown-haired girl.
Awww, shit!
----------
Hermionie was seen huffing and puffing her way back to Ron, Harry and Ginny as the books in her bag, cluttered furiously back and forth.
"What's got your knickers in a twist 'Mionie," Ron asked after realizing Hermionie's raging presence.
"I need to talk to Ginny for a minute," Hermionie replied, her voice surprisingly calm and measured, while glaring at Ron.
Ron seemed to back in fear before Ginny broke the fearful silence.
"I'm all ears Hermionie," Ginny said before following the older girl out into the street to a secluded part of Diagon Alley.
Once they were out of ear-shot, Hermionie became ballistic.
"Help me, I'm going to die!" Hermionie started hysterically.
"What?? By who?? Is it Voldemort?? Or is it-"
"Malfoy."
"MALFOY'S OUT TO KILL YOU?" Ginny asked, utterly surprised.
"No! He's not literally out to kill me… but he's Head-Boy, which will kill me!" Hermionie replied, still hysterical.
Ginny looked confused for a minute before bursting out into a silent fit of giggles.
"What's so funny?" demanded the enraged girl, not finding the situation she was in the least bit humorous.
"Well, seeing you all puffily red and looking like your about to explode, while having smoke coming out of your ears over some good-lookin' git is pretty funny to me 'Mionie," explained Ginny.
Hermionie stood there shocked.
"Ok… the git part I understand, but good-lookin'??? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?" Hermionie asked, her eyes bulging out.
"Well, as much as Malfoy is a git, he is sorta handsome I mean. Opposites do attract…right?"
"You're not implying what I think you're implying… are you?"
"Well, what do you mean-"
"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE, WE WILL NEVER BE A COUPLE… AND THER IS NO COUPLE!"
"Whatever you say Hermionie, whatever you say," Ginny concluded, winking and smiling secretly to herself before walking of leaving Hermionie confused and enraged.
"Oh, this just sucks."
----------
"Well did you talk to her?" asked a blond figure as he saw Ginny approaching.
"Yup, and she seems pretty mad,"
"No surprise there," chuckled the older boy.
"All she needs is a push you know."
"Same with him, same with him."
