I can't believe I just winked at him! What the bloody hell is wrong with me! Hermione's thoughts swirled as she stared at her plate in horror. Merlin! He must think I'm a bloody moron or something……breathe Hermione, no big deal……what the hell am I thinking of course it's a big deal!
"Hermione," Ginny called as she looked at her friend with concern. Hermione didn't hear Ginny call her name and kept staring at her plate while shaking her head every few seconds.
"Herm?" Now it was Ron who was calling her.
"Herm," Ron yelled again, but this time a bit louder than needed, seeing as he was sitting right next to her. Hermione jumped and fell backwards off the bench. The hall erupted with laughter at the sight of their Head Girl landing on her bum.
"You think she's okay," Blaise whispered to no one in particular as he watched Hermione slowly get up from the floor.
"Of course she is…….if she wasn't she wouldn't be getting up now would she," Pansy said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at his stupidity. He acts as if she'll die from falling 10 inches to the ground……………stupid Gel-Head. Pansy let her mind wander a bit as she scanned the Great Hall, sending a few sneers toward people who looked back at her, before her eyes fell upon Ronald Weasley. Stupid git…………damn crystal ball………stupid stupid stupid.
"Pan……do you know that you've been staring at the Gryffindork table for about ten minutes without blinking," Draco asked as he looked at her with cold eyes but she could see the hint of confusion on his face.
"Please I was merely plotting an evil plan to embarrass you and Gel-Head," she replied with calm.
"What!"
"I'm joking……….sheesh, you think by now you'd be able to tell," as she looked at Draco and Blaise' fearful faces.
"Okay, if you were joking then what's the real reason why you were staring at the Gryffindork table?"
"I don't have to tell you," she huffed as she stabbed her pancakes a bit.
"Aww Drake she won't tell us," Blaise said with a smirk.
"Leave me alone."
"No."
"Draco! Tell him to leave me alone!"
"Merlin! It's too early for this, when you guys get lives come and find me," Draco said before he got up and left the Great Hall with the usual arrogant strut.
"What's up his arse today," Pansy asked as she watched him leave.
"Ginerva…….that girl's got a hold on him," Blaise said as he shook his head. Pansy nodded in agreement and they spent the rest of breakfast in silence.
"Ginny, you act like you hate him but then you do something like watch him leave the room and it makes it seem like you fancy him," Hermione whispered softly as so not to be overheard by Ron.
"I am not watching Draco," she whispered back venomously. Hermione shook her head and smiled.
"Who said I was talking about Malfoy, I could have been talking about Dean for all you know?"
"Oh shut up," Ginny shot back as she glared at her best friend.
"You only say that because you know I'm right, you fancy the arrogant fool and you afraid to admit it." Hermione looked at Ginny with triumph as she watched her friend stand up and leave the Great Hall quickly.
"What's wrong with Gin?"
"Nothing Ron, it's a girl thing," Hermione answered simply.
"Okay."
Hermione watched Ron shovel food into his mouth like a great vacuum and nearly choke in the process. She turned to look at Harry who was currently staring at Luna, yet again. He's a goner. Can't believe Luna doesn't see his admiration for her………probably busy reading her father's ridiculous newspaper. Complete rubbish if I do say. Oh bloody hell I can't watch anymore of Harry's drooling! Hermione picked up a piece of her toast and aimed before throwing it at Harry right in the face.
"Ack!" Harry quickly fell out of his trance as he felt something smash into his face. What the hell! Harry put a hand to his face and came out with a piece of buttered toast. He looked at Ron immediately but noticed that he was eating away, oblivious to the world. He looked to everyone else and they were all busy eating and chatting. Then he turned to Hermione. It couldn't be her, she wouldn't do that. She was smiling big and Harry could see the slice of toast on her plate. I was mistaken.
"Herm what in Merlin's beard was that for!"
"You were starting to form a lake over there and I didn't want you to drown," she said simply.
"So what you freaking throw food at me!" Harry threw the toast on the table and glared at Hermione, who was smiling brightly back at him.
"Yes"
"But why!"
"I just told you."
"No, what's the real reason?"
"Oh because I'm sick and tired of you drooling over that silly thing of a girl called Luna." Hermione emphasized her point by making a real good imitation of Harry pining over Luna. Seamus and Neville were watching and couldn't help but laugh.
"She is not silly."
"Oh really?"
"Yes……..and I'm not drooling over her, I am merely admiring her."
"Same damn thing"
"And when did you start using such foul language?"
"Over the summer, I mean I hang out with you and Ron so long it's impossible to not pick such horrid language," Hermione said with her know-it-all voice.
"Seems reasonable but why do you insist on saying that I fancy Luna?" Lord, Herm has that look on her face that says she isn't buying a word I'm saying.
"Just give it up mister. I know you like her. You drool over her during Transfiguration class and then drool over during every meal………….it was cute at first now it's just plain pathetic. Harry you need to tell her! Please do us all that favor!" Neville leaned in closer to listen better while the others were trying hard not to laugh.
"I don't fancy her!"
"Right…. and Hagrid is a tiny first year," Hermione said rolling her eyes as Ron snorted.
"I think Hermione has been hanging around Ginny for too long," Dean whispered to Seamus.
"Obviously……..she's vicious," he replied. Before they knew it they had pieces of egg in their face. They looked up to see Hermione grinning with a spoon in her hand.
"I'm not deaf," Hermione said happily before rounding on Harry again, "Now you are going to tell her or I will do it for you."
"No you won't."
"Then do it!"
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!"
"Herm leave me alone! I don't fancy Luna, okay? I don't! Just drop it!" Silence filled the Gryffindor table as Harry sat there glaring at Hermione with anger and embarrassment.
"Ugh! FINE! Be in denial you big imbecile! But mark my words Potter I will have you admit you fancy that loony Lovegood if it's the last damn thing I do," Hermione said with added frustration as she went back to eating her omelet.
"Mate, you're dead," Ron whispered as he watched Hermione stab her food violently.
"I know"
"Just admit you care for Loony just a lil' bit and Herm won't eat you alive."
"Nope, I'd only admit that when I see Gin Gin and Draco kiss," Harry said as he hid his smile from Ron.
"WHAT?"
"Just joking Ron."
"Better be, that's an image I don't want to see," Ron said visibly shuddering from the nightmare. Small talk kept up through out breakfast and as students started to slowly leave the Great Hall Harry looked up to see Luna leaving with her friends.
"Bye Harry, have a good time in class," Luna said as she caught Harry looking, well actually staring at her.
All Harry could do was give a weak smile as he felt his cheeks burn. Great she's going to think I'm crazy. Harry watched Luna's friends giggle as they glanced at Harry before they nudged Luna and whispered something in her ear. Luna glanced back at Harry and smiled a lazy smile before walking out the Great Hall doors twirling a quill in her hand.
Hermione watched the whole event before picking up her bag and motioning for Ron and Harry to get up their lazy asses and get a moving. Hermione looked toward the Slytherin table and saw Blaise watching her. Merlin, I'm just as pathetic as Harry.
