Chapter five: Holiday Dance
Disclaimer: My kid napping plan didn't work, so here I am, in Azkaban…with some guy playing with my toes…..
Hermione and Daniel had been together for the next three days. Two days before the school let out Dumbledore made an announcement before everyone got up and left for the Common rooms.
"EVERYONE! PLEASE HAVE A SEAT!"
Dumbledore told everyone that because they had only have a year left of the seventh year's year at Hogwarts, they decided to have a dance for them the next day. Many girls where surprised and ran up to there dorms to mail their parents to send them a dress pronto. Daniel was up in the dorms when all the boys where sent up from to the dorms.
"What the heckis going on?" asked Daniel throwing down his magazine and sitting up in his bed.
"You are such an idiot! You didn't go to dinner?" asked Dean.
"I'm trying to cut down you dork." Said Daniel.
"It's a dance you son of a-" Seamus started.
"Oh, a dance, I guess Hermione would like to go with me then, maybe after that we can…"
"DON'T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT HURTING HERMIONE OF I'LL KICK YOUR (what do you call a donkey?)!" said Harry. Ron looked at Harry eyebrows raised.
"Damn, Harry." He said helping him up. Harry calmed down. Harry was all red on his face and he was breathing hard.
"What do you care, she doesn't even LIKE you." Said Daniel sneering and him and walking out the door.
Harry was breathing really hard. Ron looked at Harry and put him on his bed.
"Calm down Harry, you look warm." Ron looked at Harry.
"Okay, we need to get you to the hospital wing NOW." Ron threw Harry's arm over his shoulder and tried to drag him down the stairs to the common room. Hermione was down there reading a book. Daniel was looking at her all lovingly.
"Harry!" Hermione threw down her book and looked at Harry.
"Damn Harry, what happened?"
"Hermione!"
"What Ron?"
"I just can't get used to you cussing, stop it." He said.
"Shut up." Hermione put her arm around Harry and picked him up.
"Hermie! I need to ask you something; can't Roon do it on his own?"
"It's RON." said Ron frowning at Daniel. Hermione looked at Daniel with a mad/ surprised face.
"Daniel, one of my best friend is sick and you want me to drop him on his(another wurd fer donkey)? I don't think so!" she picked up Harry a little more and walked out of the common room.
"Gosh Herm, I didn't think you had it in you."
"Shut up Ron, let's just get Harry to the Hospital wing.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Harry rested in his hospital bed with his medicine on his night stand. Ron had dug up some of his chocolate frogs and gave it to him. Hermione had given him some of her flowers she got from Daniel. "It's okay, me and Daniel are just friends he won't mind." She said stuffing them in the vase.
"Yeah right." Harry mumbled under his voice.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
For the rest of the day, Harry stayed in the Hospital wing. Fiddling with the chocolate frogs. At seven o' clock, Cho came through and stood at the end of the bed.
"Hey Harry." said Cho.
"Um, hi."
"I was wondering…" Cho hopped onto the bed and sat on Harry's feet. "Are you free for the dance?"
"I don't know."
"Harry Potter are you trying to play me?" she asked smiling.
"No, I was just going to ask some one else." He mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"No, you said something."
"I told you Cho, it was nothing."
"Damn it Harry, you said something so spill it."
"I was going to ask someone else…"
Cho's smile turned into a frown and her eyes looked like fire.
"Who the heck do you want to ask Harry Potter?"
"I wanted to ask, um," Harry fiddled around with his fingers before her relized why the heck he was telling Cho this.
"Why the heck am I telling you this? I told you I was going to ask someone, if she says no, then I'll tell you and-"
"Oh, so now I'm second best?" she said standing up and putting her hands on her hips.
"No, Cho your-"
"Forget it Harry, go ask her, I wouldn't go to the dance if you PAID me." She said marching out of the room.
The next morning Harry woke up find Hermione holding his hand. He pretended to be asleep just because he liked the feeling of her small cold dainty hand in his. He opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Hermione? What are you doing here?"
"Waking you up." She said reaching for his glasses and handing them to him. She scooted up to him and looked down at his face.
"Hi." She said.
"I love you." Harry thought. But he looked up and smiled. "Hello."
"She said that you just have a clod, you'll be able to go to the dance with…" she looked at her feet. "With Cho."
"Your so hot." Harry thought looking up at her. But he sat up and looked at her.
"Actually, me and Cho-"
"Cho and I." Hermione corrected. "Oh crap, now he thinks I'm a total book worm." She thought.
"Well, we got in a fight." He said. "Now I don't have a date…"
"How did you fight?"
"I told her I wanted to ask someone else."
"Be me, be me." Hermione thought. "Who was it?"
"Well she's smart, she has great hair, nice eyes… And her name starts with an H."
Harry smiled at Hermione and Hermione blushed. "Oh Harry."
They're lips where exactly three inches apart. They came closer and closer, a centimeter, a millimeter, then…
"HERMIONE!" Daniel barged in and ran to her.
"What's wrong Daniel?" said Hermione turning away.
""Nothing I was just wondering, you want to go to the dance with me?"
"Um…well…."
Harry grabbed Hermione's hand.
"I – I don't know." Hermione ran out of the hospital wing.
"Great going Potter, you made her cry."
"Shut up Daniel. I didn't make her cry."
"Oh what where you doing in here? Playing a nice game of checkers?" he accused.
"We almost kissed." He thought. "No, we where talking."
"Oh yeah right." He ran after her. "Hermione! Hermione!"
"Damn!" Harry threw his hand down to the night stand. (which actually hurt his hand).
Madam Pomfery came into the room and went to Harry's bed.
"You have been excused to go to lunch Mr. Potter."
"What about tonight? The Dance?"
"I don't know, you looked very bad when you walk, can you dance?"
"Yes, I can." He said starting to step out of the bed.
"Wait a second Mr. Potter, I want you to drink this." She gave him some water.
"Why?"
"It was confirmed that you where poisoned by some bad pumpkin juice and it went to your legs and head. Just drink up and then go to lunch."
"Um…ok." He gulped down the water and got out on the bed throwing his shoes back on.
"Come back if you feel a bit bad."
Harry walked down to the great hall and sat next to Hermione and Ron.
"Hi Harry, what happened?"
"I got poisoned by pumpkin juice,"
"Oh…." Hermione said staring at her sandwich.
"you think the elves washed they're hands after they went to the little workers room?"
"Ew! Ron, I'm not even going to eat now you sicko!"
"Ok, I guess you don't want your brownie." He stuck his fork in it and brought it over to his plate.
"So who are you going to the dance with?" asked Harry.
"Lavender of course. He said with his mouth open. They both looked at Hermione. "I'm, I'm going with Daniel."
