The Best of Friends
"Hey! Harry, wait up!"
Hermione Granger ran as fast as she could…a great feat, considering the hundred or so books in her backpack. It was the first day of their seventh year, the last year the golden trio can be together as a clique. It was the first day of classes, and there were already assigned a bus full of homework.
Harry stopped upon hearing the familiar voice calling his name. With a smile, the boy-who-lived turned around, immediately spotting his friend's not-so-bushy-anymore hair. Far ahead, he too saw Ron's towering form entering the great hall, obviously deciding to not let his precious food waiting, aborting Harry in the process.
He grinned. "Hey Mione, where's the fire?" Harry offered his hand to the panting Hermione, who was slouched down, her hands placed on her knees. She accepted it gratefully.
"Well," She started once she regained most of her breath." It seems as if my so called friends left me at the library all on my lonesome." She ended her statement with a half smile, making it clear to Harry that she was just joking.
Harry feigned shock." Oh my..tell me who those so called friends are and I'll beat them to a pulp." He was saying this with matching movements, and a fake vengeful expression on his face.
Hermione couldn't take it. She laughed hard. Her laugh seemingly contagious, Harry laughed along with her, ignoring the prying, amused expressions on the people who saw them.
"Okay, that's enough. Let's just go ahead and eat breakfast before Ron chokes himself. The way he's eating, one would think the food was running away from him."
Harry snorted. "Hell yeah. The way that vacuum he calls his mouth is moving, there might not be any food left!"
Hermione laughed heartily in agreement. "What's it with boys and their food anyway? I have a theory that if girls weren't created, boys would probably try to marry food. Imagine, what would the babies look like?"
Harry pretended to gag. "God Mione, I think I lost my appetite."
Hermione smiled. "Then I would have been doing the world a favor. Merlin, one would wonder how I even became friends with you guys."
"Aw c'mon Herms. You know you love us!"
"Yeah, I do. And don't call me Herms."
If someone looked at this, one may think they were boyfriend-girlfriend. But no, they weren't.
They're the best of friends……
And, maybe someday…They'll be more…
Maybe.
"Hey Hermy, you do know you're books are falling out, right?"
A loud scream then followed thereafter.
This is just a plot bunny that came up and danced in front of me….oh well.
Toodles. This is a one-shot
