Alicia, Mexican Hairless

Author's Note: Thanks again for those reviews! Love them lots! Here it is chapter six, hope ya like it! Thanks for reading!

Are you gonna see her tonight? Neville asked as they sat in Harry's office.

I don't yet, I might need a slight break from her after that whole scene yesterday, he shook his head.

Neville laughed, I thought you said you got rewarded for it afterwards, he grinned.

Yeah but still, that was some embarassing shit yesterday, he sighed.

Neville laughed again.

Harry looked at his watch, I better go, he stood up. I'm supposed to be meeting the Beringers for lunch.

Neville snorted, Good luck.

Harry laughed and headed for the door.
...

I do NOT believe you, was all Hermione said.

Lavendar looked at her guiltily, Well, since Luna's been on your case about not trying to lose him sooner I thought his would help you...Lavendar I don't think-Thank me later, just go lose him! she handed Hermione the large carrier bag, and pushed her toward the door. Don't forget to go buy the tree at the corner store! she shouted as Hermione stumbled out the door.
...

Hermione walked down the street toward Harry's office building, she noticed a restaurant up ahead with tables and chairs outside the front windows.

She spotted Harry sitting at one of the outside tables and sighed heavily, he wasn't alone, he was sitting across from Alicia.

She rolled her eyes, as Alicia flipped her hair behind her shoulder, and she was of course wearing a severely revealing outfit (surprise, surprise!) Although she dreaded making herself look like an ass in front of Harry and Alicia, she was going to have to if she wanted to lose him.

At first she hesitantly walked towards the table, then when they were in earshot she took a deep breath,

He turned and as Alicia caught sight of Hermione her sweet, fake smile turned into a bitter frown.

Harry half-forced a smile, half-relieved he had something to distract him from Alicia's endless twittering, he greeted as Hermione approached them. What are you doing here?

She smiled brightly, I have some things for you, she said cheerfully.

he asked, slightly scared.

Is that a lemon tree you're holding? Alicia cut in.

Hermione smiled at her, Yes it is! It's for Harry, she looked back at him.

His smile faltered a little but he was quick to hide it, Really? For me? she nodded enthusiastically. That's... terrific! he said, his voice falling a little.

Alicia snorted from behind them.

I didn't know they made trees that small, he laughed.

It's a dwarf lemon tree, silly! she hit his arm playfully, handing him the large pot with a small lemon tree sprouting out of it.

Of course! Alicia said sarcastically from the back.

Harry looked at the whole tree and then looked up at Hermione, Can I ask you something? she said happily.

Why did you get me a lemon tree? he smiled.

she laughed. Because lemons symbolize longevity, purification, love, and friendshiip.Longevity, huh?

She smiled brightly and nodded, suddenly her face, Y-You don't like it!

No, no! I love it, I know exactly where I'm gonna put it in my flat, thank you, and he kissed her on the cheek.

Oh anytime, Bunny Rummy Kins, she cooed.

Bunny Rummy Kins? Alicia raised an eyebrow.

Harry only smiled, turning a little pink.

A bark came from Hermione's large carrier bag and all eyes turned to it.

What was that? Alicia asked as if a lion were to spring out of the bag at any moment.

My next gift for Harry, she smiled.

For the first time Harry noticed the netting in the front of the bag, allowing whatever was in the bag to breathe.

Hermione unzipped the top of the bag and a small head popped out, it was black, and hairless except for a few tufts of hair sticking up on the top of it's head like a mohawk.

Harry stared at it for a few seconds then asked, What is it?

Hermione looked at him like he was asking what his own name was, It's a Mexican-Hairless.

He put the lemon tree down on the sidewalk and said, Oh right-It's disgusting! Alicia trilled.

Hermione only smiled and set the bag down on the sidewalk, picking the dog up out of it.

Harry watched as Hermione brought the dog closer to him, What's it's name? he asked.

Hermione answered.

Alicia burst out laughing.

It was either that or Alicia, Hermione said, smiling sweetly.

Alicia shut up and sent Hermione a cold glanre.

Harry just watched the both of them in amusement.

Then Hermione rounded on him, Why are you two having lunch together anyway? she asked.

I was supposed to be having lunch with her parents too but they couldn't make it, he told her.

she said suspiciously.

That dog is revolting, Alicia folded her arms over her chest.

Hermione walked over to Alicia, I think Sacagawea wants to say hello to you! she leaned the bald dog down right into Alicia's face.

Ew! Get that thing away from me!

Hermione didn't make any move to pull the dog away as it tried to lick at Alicia's nicely bronzed face.

Alicia let out an extremely high pitched scream, causing Sacagawea to scramble out of Hermione's arms and begin to run down the sidewalk.

Hermione's eyes widened as she grabbed for the dog. It slipped out of her hands and continued running.

Harry was quick to chase it, he raced down the sidewalk, snatching for the dog anytime he got close. I better win brownie points for this!' he thought to himself as he dived for the dog yet again, missing.

Hermione was soon at his heals trying to catch it.

Before they could catch it the dog raced out into the street, a large truck soon rushing down the street as well. Harry and Hermione knew it was too soon to tell the driver to stop and they couldn't run in front of the car.

As the dog and the truck got closer to each other Hermione turned around and buried herself in Harry's chest, he wrapped his arms around her as the truck came closer.

And then in less then seconds the truck was gone, rattling down the street, Hermione was shaking her head and Harry was rubbing her back. They might not have liked the dog but come on, they have hearts!

Harry looked into the road to see what had happened and the dog was not there.

he nudged Hermione. he pointed across the street and there was Sacagawea, standing on a patch of grass, her tail between her legs and she was shaking fervently.

Hermione quickly ran across the street, as did Harry, and she scooped the startled dog up in her arms.

A few seconds later Alicia came, slowly, walking over to them.

Stupid mutt, Alicia mumbled, shaking her head. Maybe you should hold on to it a little harder next time...

Harry gave her a penetrating stare and shouted, Are you kidding me! Alicia asked innocently.

That was your fault! he yelled.

She laughed, You must be joking!No I couldn't be more serious, he stared at her, his jaw set. You have no reason to be such a bitch to her, she didn't do jack shit to you.

Hermione tried to bite away a smile as Alicia's mouth hung open.

You could've killed Sacagawea with you're little Miss Princess act over there, and you don't even give a shit! he vented.

She closed her mouth, took a deep breath, then said, Why would I care about that rat look-a-like? she tossed her hair behind her shoulder again.

Harry shook his head and laughed, You're ridiculous, and he grabbed Hermione's free hand, guiding her down the sidewalk.

When they were out of ear shot of Alicia Hermione said, That was amazing!

He laughed, I've wanted to call her a bitch for the longest time.

Hermione smiled and looked at him admiringly.

After walking for a few minutes, walking in the direction away from the restaurant Harry said, I better get back to work.

Hermione was about to say okay, but she looked at him scoldingly instead, Aren't you forgetting something?

He thought for a minute, nothing.

The Lemon tree!Oh right I'm sorry! I'd get it but I'm running late and my boss will kill me-

Her bottom lip quivered.

I'll buy a new one for you I promise!

Her mouth hung open, Would you abandon our relationship on some sidewalk, next to a restaurant and then just buy a new one! You should think about that! and she walked away the trembling dog still in her arms.

Hermione! I didn't mean it- he gave up. I'm sorry?

She only waved her hand at him and kept walking.

They hadn't even been going out a week and they were already in a fight.
...

Natalie? It's Alicia, Alicia hissed into her mobile phone as she walked down the side-walk, toward the restaurant. That bitch Hermione's getting in my way more than I thought. She's completely brain-washing Harry to hate me!He was totally in love with you before she came along! Natalie said, sounding completely apalled. What a whore!I know! Alicia replied. Dean's wedding is going to be sooo much fun! she trilled. You think we could kick the torture up a notch? she asked, smiling to herself evilly.

Natalie laughed, With pleasure.
...
What the hell's a Mexican Hairless? Ron asked.

Harry shrugged, Some bald dog with a mohawk, the worst part was she named it Sacagawea, he shook his head.

Sacagawea, a Shoshone Native American woman. She lead the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific Ocean as a guide and interpreter, Neville defined.

Ron and Harry looked at him, Thanks Neville, Harry said slowly.

Oh don't thank me, thank educational television, he smiled, returning to paper he was scribbling in.

Harry and Ron said in unison.
...

You actually did that? Luna asked, clutching her stomach as she spoke through her endless laughter.

Hermione said, watching her friends rolling on the floor laughing' with a slightly amused expression on her face.

After a few more minutes of laughing they calmed down, A lemon tree huh? I can't get over that! Luna shook her head.

Hermione sent Lavendar a grateful glance.

Lavendar sighed, Mexican hairless, maybe you will lose him after all. Hermione said, remembering that she failed to mention the part where she stood in Harry's arms while she thought Sacagawea was getting hit by that car... The part that she would've gotten scolded for was that she kind of liked it.
