Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Author's Note: It's back! Finally the motivation to write this story has returned to my procrastinating self! Man I'm a dork, well anyway I know what you're thinking 'What took so long?' right? Well when I realized that I was still getting reviews for this almost month old story, I had to finish it. Although it was kind of disappointing because the other story that I'm writing isn't getting new reviews...:( sniff. Oh well here's the story.
Checking In
Harry sat for what seemed like the longest time. When he realized that only five minutes had passed Harry let out a particularly loud sigh. Everyone but the abnormally quiet Ginny turned to stare at him. "What?" he asked annoyed.
"Listen; don't get all huffy with me! You're the one that let out your suggestive sigh!" said Hermione still made because she was there in the first place.
"Sorry. It's just so boring."
"Well you should have thought ahead before you came-," she was interrupted with a snort from the back of the room.
"Granger, do you have to be such an authority figure?" asked Malfoy with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh why do you care?" she asked, "Why are you even listening to our conversation when you'd rather be somewhere else; as you so crudely put it."
"You are, as you may be pleased to hear, absolutely correct about the fact that I'd rather be somewhere else. I'm only human Granger; I can't help it if I happen to overhear a conversation that is taking place only a couple paces in front of me." With that he smirked and returned to his cards.
A moment of silence passed and Hermione turned back in Malfoy's direction. "What are you doing anyway?"
"What's it to you?" he said smirking, "Why are you interested in what I'm doing when you'd rather be somewhere else?" He was mocking her of course, Harry couldn't blame him she often didn't take her own advice when it came to minding her own business.
"Alright I get it! You gave me a taste of my own medicine, but you still haven't answered my question!" She said that as if throwing in the towel.
"Why must you know everything Granger? Some people might call it curiosity that causes you to want to know everything but I call it just being plan nosey!" He was beginning to get annoyed and Harry could tell. This didn't stop him from keeping a calm exterior though.
"Are you finished insulting me now?" she asked as if she was bored and hadn't heard a word he just said. "Will you kindly tell me what you are doing?"
"At the moment I am finished insulting you because you just made my point."
"And what point was that?"
"THAT YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS! BLOODY HELL! If you weren't at the top of our class I'd classify you as a step above Crabbe and Goyle! I thought you were supposed to be smart." He lost his cool and to Harry it looked like he was mentally scolding himself. Hermione turned around and became very quiet. "What are you looking at Weaslette?" he shot a glare a Ginny who had miraculously moved her gaze towards him and she looked absolutely furious.
"Do you have to be so cruel to everyone who does so much as ask a question?" she said.
"No, I don't have to," he said with a thoughtful expression on his face, "But I choose to."
"Which proves my point," she said.
"Which is?" He asked now smirking.
"That you are a foul, loathsome, slimy, and evil git!" she exclaimed now standing.
"That took a lot of courage," he said smirking, "how long did it take you to say that to me? Five years? I thought you were supposed to be brave?"
"Yet I seem to remember a certain incident where she laid a pretty good bat bogey curse on your filthy arse," said Harry thoughtfully.
"Man what is it with you Gryffindorks anyway? Do you always have to know everything? I believe the Weaslette and I were having a conversation that you weren't invited to Scarhead." He said maliciously.
"Oh but Malfoy I'm only human. I can't help it if I happen to overhear a conversation taking place a couple paces behind me!" Harry had topped him and he knew it. He had just stuffed Malfoy's words right back in his mouth. Before Harry could congratulate what he had said Malfoy lunged forward and knocked him to the ground.
This caused the desks between them to crash into each other. Ginny jumped back surprised at his reaction and tried to pull Malfoy off of Harry. Cho had jumped up and gasped along with Hermione. They just stood there amazed at what was taking place when Ginny gave Hermione a pleading look to help her restrain Malfoy. Hermione jumped on Malfoy's back and began clawing at his robes to get his attention away from Harry so Ginny could pull him off. This didn't help at all. Punches were thrown back and forth proving both of their powerful Quidditch muscles and reactions had come to some use today.
Just then the door flew open revealing a very steamed Transfiguration teacher. "Just what do you think you two are doing?" she asked as she pulled them apart with a spell. "Just for that you both get another set of detentions! Twenty points from both Gryffindor and Slytherin! If I have to check on you more than necessary today you will be separated and your Hogsmead privileges for the rest of the year will be terminated!" And with that she left.
Harry pinched is bleeding nose while Malfoy held a (surprisingly silky green) handkerchief to his bleeding lip. They both sat down at their tables and everyone could feel the tension in the room pressing down again as only an hour had passed since Harry last checked.
