About Bloody Time
Alternates between Harry and Hermiones P.O.V.
Hermiones POV
I reached out a hand to correct Parvatis answer. We were sitting with Laveender in our dorm, trying too do homework.
"Oh! Hermione, that bracelet is beautiful!" Parvati said. Lavender touched the gems lightly.
"Thanks. It matches my earrings." I said, pushing my hair aside to reveal the dangling jewels.
"Are they real?" Lavender asked.
"Yes. Sapphires and diamonds" I said.
"Where did you get them?" Parvati inquired.
"For my birthday, from Harry."
"Harry got you jewelry?" Lavender said. "Dean never gets me jewelry, and I'm his girlfriend."
"Harry almost always gets me jewelry.: I said, surprised.
"There's more? Lets see it!" Parvati said.
"But were studying!" I protested.
"Not anymore!" Lavender said. I sighed and got up, knowing they had already won. I walked to my bed and pulled a beautiful trunk from under it. I put it on our table and lifted the lid. Holding up a silver charm bracelet with a diamond between each of the seven charms, I said "Each charm represents something. An amethyst for first year, a serpent for second," I skipped the silver hippogriff, a memento of the adventure Harry and I had shared in third year. "A goblet for fourth…"
"Wait." Lavender interrupted. "What's the hippogriff for?"
"I cant tell you." I said, and continued. "A wand for fifth, an emerald four leaf clover for luck, and a ruby heart for love."
"Harry is so romantic." Parvati said, looking closely at the bracelet. "You're so lucky, Hermione."
'Why?" I asked.
"To have a guy who's famous, sensitive, romantic talented, and really cute, even if he's not your boyfriend."
"Yet." Lavender added.
"Yet." Parvati agreed.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, come off it Hermione, everyone can see how perfect you two are together. You never fight, for one."
"Always a plus."
"that's preposterous! Were friends!" I said, shocked.
'Whatever." Lavender reached into the chest and pulled out a huge leather-bound book. "What's this?"
"It's a magical book on anything magic you could hope to know. It opens up on what you're looking for every time." I answered.
"Wow. See, this is how well Harry knows you. Who else would enjoy something like this?"
"Harry. He has one too."
Parvati rolled her eyes. "Besides him."
Lavender reached for a small leather-bound book. It sparked and shocked her fingers. "Ouch!"
"Sorry." I apologized. "Its charmed so no one but me can touch it." Lavender was still rummaging through the trunk, carefully avoiding my diary.
"Harry's gotten you a lot of stuff." She commented.
I shrugged. "We've been friends a long time."
Parvati held up an emerald ring. "I thought his family never gave him any money." She said.
"They don't have to. Harry's parents left him an enormous fortune. So did Sirius Black, when he died." I said.
Parvati turned to Lavender and said "Remind me to add 'rich' to my list of good things about Harry."
Lavender smiled. "Hey, Hermione, why don't you let Parvati and I give you a makeover?"
"Yes!" Parvati exclaimed.
"Oh, no!" I replied, backing away. Too late.
