Chapter 3: Sello!
Harry was sitting at the breakfast table playing with his food. He wasn't really in a good mood at that moment and we all understand why. (A/N: -nods wisely- hm..) THE GIRLS WERE ANNOYING HIM LIKE HELL! Some of the younger years were stuttering horribly while giving him some messages from teachers or whatever, shaking uncontrollably, and even passing out on him! What was wrong with them? Did he look that scary? Was it the damn scar that made him look that scary? Or is there a giant spider attatched to the top of his head? 'Let's just live with what I got..' he thought, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
He didn't have any chance to talk to Ron since he was so busy stuffing his face with food (A/N:It's a wonder how Ron doesn't get fat...) and Hermione didn't seem available either since she was busy with her freamland, apparently staring at Ron, but her eyes distant.Then Harry saw the eye-capturing fiery red head jogging towards them. His heart quickened a bit.
"HeyguysguesswhatI'minyourclassformyDADA." she said it all with one breath sounding happy and excited but with a tiny drop of ...what?..fear? Ron was choking on his food and Hermione's eyes went wide and flinched as she jerked back to reality. The thought of having Ginny in his class and seeing her more often and perhaps having her as his partner everyday crossed his mind.
"Oh Ginny, I already knew that's happen. You wre in the DA last year and you recieved oustanding everytime," slightly annoyed voice of Hermione said.
Ginny shrugged then turned to Harry, who was goggling at her. She giggled at his funny expression. "Well, then, see you guys at class!" she winked and smiled her perfect smile at them and left. Harry felt his stomach do a vackflip. Twice.
"What in -cough- the bloody -cough cough- HELL!" Ron exclaimed and went back to sputtering and choking. Well, having one of you little sibling in one of your classes won't be such a good idea...
Wierdly, Harry's first class was DADA. He walked to the classroom with Ron and Hermione. As he was about to pull the door open, a fishy feeling of something might go wrong in the classroom ran through him.
"Harry, open the door, don't just stand there," Hermione said impatiently.
"We're not late for class Hermione, sheesh," said Ron. Ron and Hermione argnued (yet again) while they entered the classroom. Were they in the wrong classroom! Yup, that had to be it. They looked around the classroom's inside and everything seemed to have only pink and lavander. There were moving posters of muscular Quidditch players and white laces snaked from corner to corner of the classroom. Many many hearts decorated the walls, some of them saying "love" or "sweetheart". Surely it wasn't Valentine's Day already..
"I think we're in the wrong classroom guys...," Harry said very quietly. Even Hermione didn't seem to protest. The other two nodded dumbly, eyes wide and mouths agape.
"Hellooo!" a guy with short ponitail said. "I'm Professor Humperdick! Nice to meet you! Come in, please do," It seemed that he was treating them (more Harry and Ron than Hermione) like guests who came to a important tea party. He had black hair that was all pulled back tightly in a short ponytail, his muscular form wrapped tightly in a tight what appeared to be thin black robes. His face however, was...queer (Harry had to admit it with a horror-struck expression). Professor Humperdick's sideburns (A/N: Or whatever you call 'em) wre curled dramatically on wither side of his face and his broad butt-chin was sticking out as if it wanted to run away from it's own master's face. Whoa- whoa- wait a moment-! Is that...make-up Harry was seeing? They came into the classroom and sat down stiffly.
"Such handsome bo- students here in Hogwarts! Ho ho ho.." Oh yes, Harry forgot to mention, his voice was as smooth and gay as his face. The door pullled open and a girl came in panting loudly. Harry's chest felt squeezed for some reason. It was Ginny Weasley alright, looking even more attractive with the pink stained cheeks if that was possible.
Ginny seemed to think the exact same thing as Harry, Ron, and Hermione did when they first came in. Her bright honey-ish eyes flickered to where Harry, Ron, and Hermione was sitting and seemed to understand this was the right place. Her screw-up face- as she looked at the ridiculous decorations around the room- told them that she wasn't really a fan of girly things like this.
"Now, now, don't just stand there young lady, you're late and holding up the class. Take a seat please," Professor Humperdick said irritably.
As Ginny took a seat next to her boyfriend, Dean Thomas, in front of Harry, he inhaled the wonderful flowery smell.
"As I was saying, before somebody had so rudely interuppted," -Ginny gave a small snort-"I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself."-he cleared his throat just to make his voice even more higher and girly-"I love reading Witch Perfect which is one of my favorite magazines, I also love collecting posters of my favorite hot quidditch players, oh look at this, I got my nails done just yesterday...
On and on he went for about half of the class time-
...My favorite color use to be yellow but now it's blush pink and lavander. Any questions about me?" (Harry dobted anyone would have any questions)
Professor Humperdick mistook the students' disgusted faces as adoring expressions and went on. "Today we're only going to warm-up for what we're going to do for the rest of the year. I'm going to check and see your levels- ho ho... excuse me, anyways, so choose your partners and start with simple dueling spells,"
The class filled up with the noises of screeching ofchairs and rustles of cloaks as students started pairing up hurriedly. (The seemed more in a hurry to gossip about the new teacher) Harry obviously paired up with Ron, and Ginny with Hermione. It was kind of awkward since Ginny seemed to hang out more with Dean, but instead, she chose Hermione. People made themselves room as the desks were magically scooted over and they started jinxing their partners or dodging them. Harry was dodging Ron's booger jinx when somebody cried,
"Sellio!"
and a gold flash of light met Harry's hand. For a second or two Harry didn't realize that he had been hit with a jinx. Just when the right solution came creashing onto his brain, he felt some kind of strings pull him very fast, dragging him on the ground. He was dragged- dragged- he shut his eyes tightly as the desks became larger and larger in a very fast speed.
CRASH!
Harry felt a small soft hand wrap around his own. He opened his eyes to see Ginny Weasley staring down at him, looking half worried and half surprised. He turned his head around to see Nevile Longbottom who had crashed into the stacks of desks. Numb, he stood up and looked down at Ginny. A heavy silence fell on the four of them (Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry).The only thing that was going around their heads seemed to be: 'What just happened?' But the rest of the class didn't seem to have taken notice of this.
"Class! Class! That's enough for today. It's alread time to leave!" Professor Humperdick cried in a singsong voice. At once, everybody packed up and rushed out of the horribly girly classroom. When Harry tried to pack up, he noticed that Ginny still hadn't let go of his hand.
"Um, Gin-" he started to say.
"You can let go of his hand now Ginny," said Dean and Ron in unison. They both looked irritated but Dean clearly was unable to hide the jelousy in his voice.(Ron just seemed disgusted) Harry tried to pull his hand away from Ginny's but she dtill didn't let go. Then he realized that he can only control his fingers but his hand seemed to be glued to Ginny's.
"Would you two let go already?"
"We can't!" Ginny yelled at her brother in frustration. It seemed like Dean took this for something else because he heavily but quickly walked out of the classroom with a stone face.
"Dean!" Ginny exclaimed after him.
"Wat's all this chaos here?" said Professor Humperdick.
"Nothing," they all said.
"Oooooh!Oooh!" Professor Humperdick oohed. All four of them looked at him oohing with horrified faces. "Aren't you...Harry Potter?" Humperdick squealed like a fangirl. Ginny and Hermione looked at him with very disgusted faces (they seemed to know what he was going at) but Harry and Ron just raised their eyebrows. Surely, Harry was use to this "OMG ITS HARRY POTTER WHO MADE VOLDEMORT GO AWAY!" stuff.
"And you're Ron Weasley!"
"Er..." Harry managed to err. Okay, he was really confused now...
"Oooooh! You guys look even cuter than in the magazines!"
By this time, Hermione(she grabbed Ron's sleeves) and Ginny had to pull out very puczzled and curious Harry and Ron. Humperdick looked at Harry and Rinny's tightly wrapped hands and muttered, "Pity...What a waste,"
A hopeful Ron who was trying his best not to look away at the sight of his sister and one of his best freinds holding hands said, after much of "The name Humperdick fits him right" (and several words that made Hermione say "Ron-!"), "Maybe it'll wear off in a few hour's time. Hm... Wait, we should just head on to the hospital wing,"
Harry, feeling the warmth of and the softness of Ginny's lil hand, half nodded grudgingly. Although he really wanted to let go of her hand (the people who were whispering behind their hands were getting on his nerves) and save some embarassment, but a feeling of unknown but tremendous happiness tugged at him endlessly. They walked silently and uncomfortably until they reached the hospital wing. When they opened the door of the hospital, Madam Pomfrey slow jogged toward them, eager to fix another injured person (she didn't seem to had had any work that day). Harry somehow was regretting the fact that he came to the hospital wing now. He certainly knew that Madam Pomfrey can fix and mend anything that had to do someting with health.
"Do you need anything dears?" she inquired eagerly.
"Um..well, we were in our DADA class then we were dueling each-" "Get on with the story Ginny," Ron muttered. "Somebody used a charm on us" -she pointed at herself then at Harry- "and now our hands are glued together,"
Harry was sure she was stuttering because she (including everyon else) didn't exactly know what had happened with things happening so fast. Madam Pomfrey examined heir hands and tried several muttered spells and even put some medicine looking goo which smelled fouly like strong peppermint and old socks but finally gave in.
"I'm afraid I can't do anything about this," she said as she the stinking goo vanished with a flick of her wand.
"What?" Harry, Ron, and Ginny said, Ron being the loudest.
"You'll have to wait until it wears off,"
Harry turned his head toward Ginny and she did the same, both with terrified faces pasted on. Harry perfectly understood her fearful yet questioning expression: How are they going to do everything with hands that were trapped in each other's?
