Chapter Six: Getting along with the enemy
The news of Hermione and Harrys break-up and make-up swarmed around Hogwarts like a herd of nasty bees.
'..Awe..thats so sweet! I knew they were unseperable!..'
'..Hmph..and I wanted to have a go with Harry...' '..They make such a cute couple! I'm glad things worked out...'
Hermione and Harry walked down the halls to each class everyday hand in hand, giving each other teasing looks and kisses on the cheek before classes. On their way down to Care of Magical Creatures, the trio was amazed when Draco and his gang stomped right on past them, not even throwing them a sneer or a comment. Shrugging, they all continued down to class, talking, joking and listening to Rons horrid impression of Professor Snape.
'-Your a horrible disgrace to Wizard-kind Neville, your cauldron isn't ment to droop like that!-' he said in a low pitched voice, his face screwed into a look as though he smelled something nasty. 'Oh stop it Ron!' Hermione whined, punching him playfully on the shoulder,'That's not nice...it's horrible the things he says, Snape'
Ron grinned blushing slightly,' Sorry..' he laughed as they reached Hagrids hut.
Hagrid was bending over a giant tub full of...well...they didn't know. They walked up to the rest of their classmates and stood silent, waiting for Hagrid to speak. A few people giggled as Hagrids giant arse continued to face them as he dug around the tub. 'Jus' be one min'ute' Hagrid said, still digging around. Finally he stood up and faced the class, a huge grin plastered across his grubby face. 'Good news!' he exclaimed, gesturing towards the tub,' The Kenouoves laid their eggs!' Hagrid said, looking as happy as he can be.
The class put on rather fixed grins and nodded enthusiastically.
'Today yer goin' to be learnin' how to care fer the Kenouoves as -babys-' Hagrid said, bending over once again, picking up part of a huge grey egg shell spotted with pink.
The class could here tiny "Oinks" coming from the tub as Hagrid re approached it.
'And...this-' he said, holding up a small unrecongnisable creature, curled up in his hand,'-is a baby Kenouove...' he had a small tear forming in the friendly crinkles of his eyes as he spoke the last part. Harry and Hermione exchanged glances with each other.
Hagrid is most fond of any creature that is horribly ugly and or dangerous.
'Now get with yer partners and I will be handin' out'a list of things ter do today with yer baby Kenouoves' Grumbling, everyone set off to get with their partners. Hermione gave Harry one last kiss as they parted to find their partners. Hermione found Draco near the edge of the crowd, his shoulders shrugged and his head drooped down.
'Hey..' Hermione said walking up to him smiling. Draco looked up and raised his eyebrows,' Hi..' he mumbled looking down again. Hermione noticed straight away something unusual about his behaviour, and didn't waste a minute to question him. 'Whats wrong?' she asked, sitting down against a tree.
Draco shrugged and started to walk away.
'Wait!'
Draco turned around,' What now Granger?'
Hermione sighed,' Geez Draco..you don't have to be like that..'
Scowling, Draco shuffled off without another word.
Hermione waited for Draco to come back and let her eyes wander among the students. Pavarti was with her partner Dean (Hermione assumed that she had asked Hagrid if she could have him as a partner after they got together) they were looking down fondly at the baby kenouoves and whispering to each other, grinning.
Ron and Harry were working together looking remarkably pleasant with each other, unlike their previous classes.
'Got it,'
Hermione looked up to see Draco walking back up towards her, clutching a piece of paper in his right hand. She stood up, brushing the dirt and twigs off herself,' Got what?' she asked looking down at the paper as he held it out to her. Draco rolled his eyes and thrusted the piece of paper in her hands,' read it then you'll know.' Taking the paper, she noticed a list of directions.
1. Observe your baby Kenouoves, take notice in how they interact with their mother.
2. Feed your baby Kenouoves, make sure you chew up the bread real good
3. Take your baby Kenouoves on a nature walk (be sure to clean up after your Kenouoves)
Hermione read through the directions a couple more times then looked at Draco, who was staring at her. 'W-what?' Draco asked, looking immediately down at the ground. Hermione could feel her face heat up and she stuffed the directions in to the pocket of her robes. 'Nothing..first thing on the list is observing them..' Hermione said, trailing off.
They stood there for a moment, watching the Kenouove mother with her baby.
The mother trotted around happily, stopping every now and then to sniff something on the ground, the baby stumbled after her and oinked happily.
After a few moments of watching them oink at each other, Hermione gave a rather annoyed sigh,' OK... now we have to..' she brought out her list again and looked down at it,' Ugh..feed it..'
Draco raised his eyebrows and dug into the depths of his pocket and brought out two pieces of smushed bread.
'The big oaf told me to feed it this,' he said looking very disturbed, he handed her a piece of the bread.
Hermione scowled at him calling Hagrid a 'big oaf' and took it looking back down.
'We have to..chew it then..feed it to the baby!?' Hermione said reading it with disbelief. She was -NOT- about to chew up something and spit it right back out! Draco shrugged and popped a piece in his mouth, chewing it thoughtfully, in about a minutes time he spat it back out in his hand, now liquefied.
He bent down and held it out as the baby Kenouove trotted curiously over to it, then started to peck the food up from his hand. Hermione made a face that couldn't describe her feeling any better. That was gross. Draco looked up at her and laughed holding out his hand,' Want some?' he asked, giving her a half smile. Hermione took a step back and shook her head vigorously, throwing her piece on the floor.
'Why don't we just let them eat it like that?' she asked making herself comfortable on a large boulder.
Draco laughed, not a harsh laugh, but a gentle teasing laugh.
'Because they will -choke-' he said, picking up her piece,' I'll do yours for you then..' he said trailing off when he noticed her look of awe on her face,' Only because its fun..' he mumbled, turning his back to her, leaning over to feed it again.
About ten minutes later, after the Kenouoves were fed, Draco and Hermione stood together looking down at the baby Kenouove in wonder. 'How do we take this...this -thing- on a walk?' Draco said,' a -nature- walk'.
Hermione smiled and shrugged, the little Kenouove was looking up at her trotting it's hooves happily and trying to lick her robes (the baby's tongues don't develop the spikes until later on, they learnt).
Twenty minutes later Draco and Hermione walked around the school grounds, the baby Kenouove trotting beside them.
'So..'Hermione said, trying to make good conversation.
'So I heard you and Potter got back together,' Draco said rather nastily,' you should've stayed away from him..he's a bad one, Harry.' Just as Hermione opened her mouth to say something she is now glad she hadn't, Hagrids voice boomed, causing the birds in a near off tree to take flight, frightened. 'Come back now! Bring yer Kenouoves back!' Hagrid said waving his giant arms back and forth.
The class gathered together, Gryffindor and Slytherin slowly migrating back to it's original sides. Hermione and Draco walked back silently (Draco getting fed up with waiting for the baby to trot up with them, he picked it up and walked faster). As they reached the rest of the class, not noticing, Hermione followed Draco and stood beside him as Hagrid gave the class a few parting words. 'Eh..I won' be here fer a couple o' weeks,' Hagrid said, looking down at his giant feet,' Meh's got some business to take care of,' he waved his giant hand dismissing the class and started up to his hut.
'Bye Hermione,'
Hermione spun around, surprised.
Draco Malfoy called her by her first name.
That shouldn't come to a shock to her, seeing how nice he's been lately..but why would he call her Hermione? Why not Mudblood? oh how she hated that name.. or why not Granger?
Shrugging, Hermione waved good bye to Draco then walked off to find Ron and Harry.
Ron and Harry were almost at the Entrance door when Hermione finally caught up with them.
'Thanks so much for waiting guys,' she said sarcastically as she yanked open the giant door,' I can just -feel- the love.'
Harry grinned and wrapped his arm around her waist,' I'm sorry,' he said nuzzling his face in her neck,' Forgive me?'
Hermione grinned and squirmed slightly as Harry let his tongue slip onto her neck.
'Ah! yes, I forgive you!' she said turning around and wrapping her arms around him. The stood in the Entrance Hall for a moment, kissing and teasing each other's lips with their tongues.
'Guys..we're going to be late,' Ron's voice interrupted, he held up his time table showing them that they had Transfiguration in exactly two minutes time.
Groaning Harry pulled himself away from Hermione and took her by the hand,' Lets go.' ~*~
Transfiguration class was quite eventful...Neville managed to turn his piggy bank into a boar..not a pig. 'N-Neville, get on top of the tables like the rest of the class-no, no! you may not help!'
Everyone in class jumped on top of their desks as Nevilles boar ran wildly through the class, Neville tried to explain, rather uneasily, that he can help. 'My Gran raises them Professor...perhaps I can c-' he let out a scream and jumped into the nearest persons arms-a Slytherin.
Professor McGonagall raised her wand high over her hand and followed it with the boar.
"POOF"
The boar let out a loud squeal and collapsed to the floor, in about a second it was back to the piggy bank, plastic and pink.
The class stood there for a moment on their desks, looking down at the money keeper, expecting it to jump alive again.
Hermione was clutching on to Harry for dear life, as Ron was...well Ron was in a coat closet, and a second later he poked his head out looking terrified.
'Is that, that -thing- gone?'
The whole class turned to the Professor who was already seated back down.
She looked up, looking highly annoyed.
'Yes, its safe now...everyone take your seats and for GOODNESS SAKE Neville, do be careful next time, will you?'
Neville nodded as the Slytherin gave him a nasty grin and dropped him, walking back to her table.
Neville slowly walked back to his own table, his head drooped.
Sniffling, he sat back down and kept his head down the rest of the class time.
