..::Chapter 3: It Doesn't Have a Nose
A/N: i really really like this story, for some reason, i just really like it, ok now i'm getting repetitive, this chapter, was a little harder to write, it is just kind of one of those filler chapters leading you to the next event. i'm thinking of changing my pen name, so if ne one has a really good one let me know (something dealing with harry potter). if i don't find ne thang i extremely like, i mean a lot i prolly won't change it

The next morning I walked into the bathroom, it was a little after 10. When I was younger I had gotten up early but now it seemed as though those years were catching up with me and, I seemed to sleep in more than ever.
I was wearing a simple flirty black cotton skirt, with an extra-large waste band, and large pleats, that hit me mid-thigh. I had on a plain aqua marine colored fitted t-shirt on under a white zip up sweater, and I was wearing chunky tan suede boots that reached half-way up my calf, with thick black soles and a slight heel.
For being the beginning of October it was fairly warm out, and beings I spent most of my time in the castle, I would be perfectly warm.
I pulled my hair pack into a wispy half pony and headed for the door, when Malfoy came in.
"That was real funny, what you did last night," he sneered.
"Yeah I thought it was, too," I gave him a slight smirk.
"You are just going to get away gallivanting around doing whatever you want, you know," he said starring me in the eyes.
I then walked past him and headed once more for the door, which pissed him off for he hadn't finished telling me off yet.
"This won't be the last you hear about this," he called after me as I walked out, leaving the door open so if he wished to go to the bathroom her would have to walk over and shut. That was just part of my annoying act.
:-:-:
I walked into the Great Hall and looked around for the boys, who weren't there, so I headed outside to look for them. When I walked out I was hit by a slight breezed. I stood on the steps looking around for them, and sure enough they were out there, sitting on a bench by the lake. I walked over to them.
"Hey guys," I said sitting next to Ron. The whole Ron and me thing had flown out the window when he had met a girl one day at the Ministry when he had went with his dad. Her name was Lana Esting; she was a year older than him and had been in Ravenclaw. She was tall, and had light bronzy colored blonde hair. They had been going out sense the middle of the summer.
"Hey, anything new happen to you?" Harry asked.
I smirked, "Well yeah you might have heard, we are having a winter ball."
"Yeah the whole school knows already," Ron said looking at the shoe of the foot he had across his leg.
"Oh yeah and last night when I came back from the Owlrey, Malfoy was asleep on the couch so I got the shaving cream out and drew a few things on him, but other than that nothing."
Ron and Harry snickered, "Good one," Ron said.
"I couldn't resist," I said looking around, the leaves on the trees had all almost changed colors and some were starting to fall.
"So what about you guys, anything new?"
"Nope," Ron said, "Just working on my bloody huge stack or homework. You would think after 6 years of giving it to use, they would be running out of ideas."
"This is your toughest year, you have N.E.W.T.s," I said to him.
"Well yeah I know that now."
"What did you expect, we eat candy, play games, and . . . well I don't."
"I don't know I guess just not this much homework, I work on it from supper till 11:00 and that's if we don't have Quidditch," Ron groaned.
"Well talk to Harry about Quidditch."
"Hey," Harry said protesting, "It's not my fault, I have just has much homework, and we don't practice nearly as much as the other teams."
"Okay, okay, just get your priorities start, and besides I manage even though I have a whole heap of duties as Head Girl."
"But you're the top of our year, of course you can handle it," Ron said in his whiny tone
"Oh just get over it already, if it is that bad, you would be up there working on it right now."
"I probably should be," he said.
"Well then don't complain about not getting enough time," I said, "I'm leaving I can't stand your whining a minute longer, see you at lunch."
"Bye, Hermione," Harry said as I walked off.
I couldn't really ever understand why I had ever really like him.
:-:-:
That night I decided to trek up the Gryffindor common, and sit and talk with Harry and Ron, I brought along Crookshanks.
As I took a seat in a chair next to the couch on which Ron and Harry were sitting.
Ron groaned when he saw my cat, "Why did you bring that bloody waste of air up here with you? I swear one time I saw that cat eating a piece of parchment."
"Honestly Ron I don't see how Lana can like you, she loves cats, she told me once," I said stroking Crookshanks.
"Well at least hers doesn't look like it was thrown against a wall at birth," he said making a face.
"Okay so he has a flat nose," I said looking down at him.
Ron being himself had to come back with more, "It doesn't have a nose!" he said throwing his hands out, "It looks like a cartoon cat!"
"He is beautiful, in his own ugly way," I said protesting, but I knew that what I had said wasn't really what I had wanted to saw, and leave it to Harry to remind me.
"Notice the word ugly," Ron snickered at his comment.
"Can we please talk about something else," I begged, I was sick of them talking about how ugly my cat was, they did it every single time they saw him and it was getting old.
It was silent for awhile; I could tell they were trying to think of something that wasn't an insult.
Finally Harry thought of something, "So has Draco got you back for the shaving cream incident?"
"No, because I haven't been around him enough today for him to do anything, but trust me he will."
And sure enough what I said would come true.
:-:-:
I walked into the common room Wednesday after school, Malfoy was slow with his comebacks, he hadn't done anything to me yet, but I was about to be proven wrong. I threw my bag down on the couch and walked towards my room to change, when I saw a note on my door.
Hey Mudblood
Ah, I find this so incredibly funny. It seems that you are locked out of your room until 7:00 tomorrow morning, trust me I would have made it longer but seeing that I wouldn't be able to bear your smell if you didn't get new clothes, I'll let you in, eventually!
Your favorite person in the whole wide world,
Malfoy
P.S. Go ahead try your Alohomora crap, (sigh) revenge is so sweet.
I threw the note on the ground and whipped out my wand, I just had to try Alohomora, who knew it might have worked. This was the first time that Malfoy was completely right, Alohomora wasn't going to work.
If I had only resisted the temptation to use the shaving cream on Malfoy I wouldn't be in the predicament. But there was that little voice saying, "You couldn't have not done it even if you knew this was going to happen."
So with that thought I grabbed my bag and headed for the Great Hall. I just wouldn't tell Ron and Harry about it, for they would immediately have to go tell a teacher, because it was against school rules (something they cared little about unless it was to get back at Malfoy). And then Malfoy would come and tell them what I had did, and then we both would get in trouble, and with all the homework and head duties, it wasn't worth it. Besides we were heads, and in my head came a whiny voice, "and we are supposed to set good examples." And to the teacher's knowledge we were, "What they don't know, won't hurt them." That was something I couldn't believe I had told myself. I was really starting to crack the nutshell I had created.
