Chapter 9: Surprise and Wark Chips
Ron gasped at what he saw in the fire. It was Hagrids head, airborne in the fire. Ron looked away and knew why Hagrid was there. "Harry" Hagrid said from the fire. Ron walked to the other side of the common room and sat down with earplugs.
"Yeah?" Harry asked eventually.
"I lied about the Venemous Tantacula yesterday. There isn't even any Wark Chips in there. But, I have a lot in store. Hurry over here before I run out, because everyone is getting theirs from here. There's not enough for everyone" Hagrid replied. Harry knew that Hagrid hinted him to come over, but not for just Wark Chips.
Harry and Hermione walked under the Invisibility Cloak into Hagrids Hut. Hagrid was sitting at a table with a Teapot and a few cups. When he saw Harry and Hermione he asked where Ron was.
"He didn't want to come" Harry said to Hagrid like it was a bad thing.
"Ah well, I wanted ter show you somethin' in the back" Hagrid said to them opening his back door.
"What are these?" Hermione asked gazing in awe at the big Krab like Things.
"These are Water Warts, the nastiest of the Krab family. Badder than Fire Crabs, Air Waks, and Earth Turtles" Hagrid replied proudly.
"And you're teaching us about these?" Harry asked as he knew what the answer was.
"O'course! Why else would I have these?" Hagrid asked without a clue.
"Because you like dangerous things?" Hermione replied with a little worry that Hagrid might take it bad, but he didn't.
"Maybe so, but you guys help most of the time! That's appreciated!" Hagrid said smiling at them.
"All right, so can we go back to the common room then?" Harry asked, worrying if he was a little rude.
"O'course! Bring 3 pieces of Wark Chips with you! See you tommorow in class" Hagrid replied as they got under the cloak.
3 Wark Chips disappeared, and the door opened and a second later, closed.
Harry and Hermione had just entered the Entrance Hall when Hermione suddenly stopped. Harry almost walked on, but he stopped when he saw that she stopped moving.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked her as she saw her with her eyes wide. He looked too and looked away. McGonnagall and Dumbledore were making out as McGonnagall's hand dropped. Harry and Hermione quickly, but quietly ran up the steps and up the grand staircase.
"That was awkward" Hermione said to Harry when they took the cloak off at the fat lady.
"Quaffle" Harry said to the fat lady and they walked in. "What were they doing?" Harry asked deep in thought.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "What did it look like?" Hermione asked him and stared into the fire, blinking every couple seconds.
"They were making out" Harry replied without a clue about what else.
"Let's just drop it, ok?" Hermione asked.
"All right" Harry said, relieved.
"I'm going to bed" Hermione said yawning and standing up.
"All right" Harry replied reaching into his backpack.
"Aren't you going too?" Hermione asked him.
"Not yet" Harry replied as he looked at his watch. 1:35 AM.
"Harry, it's late. Now go to bed" Hermione replied, gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran up to the girls dormitry.
Harry read over his notes for about an hour and went to bed.
