Bookworms

Chap 11

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything that J.K. Rowling has in her books I only own the plot and my character Claire.


The rest of the day went by fast, but for Hermione it seemed like it was never going to end. Everybody's attention was on Claire, the new girl, that was all that people were interested in.she hated the fact that everybody wanted to know about Claire and that was all they wanted to talk about. They would say have you heard this or that or oh my gosh this and that, and all of this was driving Hermione mad. When they had finally finished their last class Harry, Ron, and Hermione were walking towards the Gryffindor Commen room when Hermione brought up the convo about her day.

"Ugh today seemed like it was never going to end" she said concentrating down on the floor.

"Really?" asked Harry looking at her"because I thougth today was interesting."

"Yea I did too" joined Ron stopping to tie his shoe "why do you say that Hermione?"

"Errr......just seemed really boring" she answered

"Oh..."said Harry "did you guys see in Potions the face Malfoy had when he saw Theo and Claire together?" Hermione then just rolled her eyes and clenteched her teeth trying hard not to comment.

"Yea I know it was really funny" answered Ron starting to laugh "he kept on looking at them and you could soo tell he wanted to kill Theo"

"Yea I know" laughed Harry

"Right Hermione?" asked Ron noticing how quiet Hermione was.

"Huh?" said Hermione acting confused.

"The whole Claire thing today in Potions" said Harry.

"Erm......yea I guess"she said quikly "well er... I'll talk to you guys later im going to go to the library and study"

"Err....okay?.." said Harry concerned "bye 'Ermione"

"Cya Hermione" said Ron.

"Ok bye" she said while turning in the opposite direction towards the library.

"There she goes again always in the library" said Ron sarcastically "what a bookworm"

"Tell me about it" chuckled Harry.

Ron and Harry continued towards Gryffindor Tower where they tried doing homework but ended up playing wizards chess instead.


Hermione hurried down the corridor not paying attention to anything while talking to herself, she bumped into a few people on the way but she didn't care or noticed, she was too busy thinking about Claire and all the hype. She finally got to the library and opened the large doors that led in to the library, to find that like always it was nearly empty only the librarian and 2 other Ravenclaw students who were always there after classes. She quickly walked in and took her usual seat in the back where there was a big table piled up with several books.

"Hello Hermione I believe you needed these" said Madam Pince the librarian. Madam Pince was a skinny, but not too tall nor too short witch who had big green eyes that were a little too bright for her complexion.

"Oh yea... thanks" answered Hermione. Madam Pince smiled and then walked over to her desk in the front of the library. Hermione then opened her bag and took out her notebook then opened her Astronomy book and began to take notes.


"Err.....Theo" questioned Claire while walking out of their last class.

"Yea?" he answered.

"Would you happen to know where the library is" she asked.

"Yea if I remember correct its up 2 floors and then you take a right you cant miss it" he said.

"Thanks I'll talk to you later" she said heading for the stairs.

"But wait.......what about the Slytherin get together?" he said after her.

"Um yea I'll be there" she answered. She continued running up the stairs to the library. She then opened the doors to the dimly lit library where only the librarian and a girl in the back were sitting. Claire walked in and went to the right where she found an empty table and dropped her bag. Madam Pince then stood up from her desk and walked over to Claire.

"Hello I don't believe I've seen you here before" said Madam Pince.

"Um...no im new here" answered Claire.

"Well......er......welcome....um sorry I don't believe I got your name" said Madam Pince.

"Claire......Claire Hathor" she answered.

"And im Madam Pince the Librarian" she said "can I help you with anything?"

"Erm.....no im okay......but thanks" answered Claire.

"Okay well I'll be at my desk if you need me" said Madam Pince and turned to go back to her desk. Claire walked around the room and looked at the books that they had on the shelves. She wasn't really paying attention where she was going and she was suddenly bumped into.

"OI!" she said

"Im sorry I thought I was alone" said the girl she bumped into.

"No im sorry.........Hermione right?" asked Claire.

"Yea...." answered Hermione dully seeing who it was she bumped into "well I'll be leaving now"

"Err...okay bye Hermione" said Claire while Hermione gathered her books and left. Hermione walked out of the library and once again was frustrated and started to whisper to her self.

"Stupid bitch" she said to herself while walking down the corridor not noticing that there was someone else there.

"Quite a vocabulary you have there Granger"said Theo who was leaning against the wall. Hermione then looked up and saw Theo and got even madder.

"Shut it Theo" she exclaimed "and what the hell are you doing up here?"

"I came to read Granger what else?" he answered sarcastically.

"Im surprised you even know how to read"she snapped back while crossing her arms.

"Funny......" he answered "so....how have you been?"

"Why do you care?" she questioned bitterly

"Its been quite a while since well.......you......know" he said while putting his fingers through her hair.

"Don't touch me" she said pushing him away "you dirty snott" she then turned around and kept walking down the corridor.

"Fine I guess I'll see you around babe" he said knowing it would get her even madder. Hermione kept walking but then lifted her hand and flicked him the finger.

"Thanks love ya too" he exclaimed behind her and started to laugh to himslef.

T:She gets better looking everyday.

Theo then walked towards the library to look for Claire. He walked in and immediatly walked over to Claire who was sitting and reading a book.

"Hey" he said.

Claire suddenly jumped and looked around "oh you scared me"she said.

"Im not that bad looking am I?" he said jokingly.

"No its not that I just didn't expect to see you here" she said laughing.

"So are you coming down to the party?" he asked her now sitting down next to her.

"Err...yea I guess" she said closing her book. "Im done reading anyway"

"Don't tell me you read that in the hour you've been here" he said

"Um...yea im a fast reader" she laughed.

"Wow...so yea....wanna go now?" he asked getting up.

"Yea" she smiled. Claire then got up put the book in her bag and left the library with Theo to the Slytherin Common room.


Hermione then stormed into the Gryffindor Common room walked over to the fireplace and dropped her bag on a chair near where Harry and Ron where playin Wizards Chess.

"What's wrong Hermione?" asked Ron concentrating on Harry's next move.

"The bloody people in this school" she excalimed.

"Anyone in particular?" asked Harry looking up from the game.

"Theo" she grumbled.

"Who?" asked Ron who couldn't make out what she had said.

"None of your business!" she exclaimed "ugh!!.....just leave me alone" she then grabbed her bag and went into the girls dormitory.

"Did she say Theo?" asked Harry "as in Theo Nott?"

"I don't know" shrugged Ron

"What would he have to do with her?" asked Harry confused.

"Hey mate lets just leave it as it is and keep playing" said Ron "we'll ask her at dinner"

"Yea okay" he said.

The two boys continued to play their game but still confused with what had just happened.
