Harry Potter and the Average Asian
The next day at dinner, which is lunch in the US..I think. Anyway, the next day at lunch, the group of four sat at the end of the Gryffindor table. As April bit into a piece of toast, (they ate toast at every meal of the day) Hermoine turned to her.
"April, if you're of Asian decent, why is your last name Garcia?"
"Oh!" April said, choking on a piece of toast. She then started giggling. After about five minutes of that, she finished what she was going to say. "It's not my real last name. I don't suppose I'm supposed to say anything, but it's kind of extra cover. Not necessarily from wizarding enemies, but in order for me to get into the country."
"Why didn't you use a portkey, floo powder, or apparate?" Ron asked.
Both Hermoine and April answered, "Don't be stupid, Ron!" This resulted in more giggling fits.
Harry and Ron sat stunned. Was Hermoine giggling? April had only been at school a few days, and already Hermoine had lost it. After the lunch bell, April continued with their discussion of her name.
"I actually chose my boyfriend's name."
Ron and Harry sputtered.
"You have a boyfriend?" Harry asked, turning pale. Hermoine glanced at him in a way that might be JEALOUSY?
"Well, sort of." And with this, April began giggling.
After lunch, there was a bit of a longer break in between to the next class. Thankfully, because the next class was Defense Against the Dark Arts. On their way down a corridor, the four saw a group of Ravenclaws, mostly 6 and 7 years. Harry slowed a little as he saw Cho Chang laughing as the others in her group laughed along, especially a handsome 7th year boy. Harry grew paler then normal. He reached a hand out to slow down Ron, but instead put his hand on April's arm. Harry's face flushed. April was looking around. Cho happened to turn her head in Harry's direction at that exact moment, and froze. She stepped forward and her cronies stopped their chatting.
"Hullo, Harry." Cho said quietly.
"Hullo, Cho." Harry replied. Hermoine and Ron backed off a little, but April was still looking around and giggling to herself. Harry's hand was still on her arm.
"Well, I guess I wasn't as nearly important to you as you said." Cho said quietly, almost sadly. She seemed unaware of the main ears listening in.
"What?! Cho, it's been more then a few months, besides you moved on pretty quickly, too. Why are we talking about this now?" Harry said, completely exasperated. April giggled.
Cho shot a look at April, and moved closer to her. "Listen, there's only room for one asian in this school. I happen to be the resident asian, alright?"
Most of the people around gasped. Even Harry had to admit he didn't think Cho could be that mean, even after their fight the previous year. Ron later told Harry that he thought Draco Malfoy had somehow possessed Cho that day.
"Excuse me?!" April said, snapping back to reality.
"You heard me." Cho said, glaring.
"No, actually, I didn't." April said, followed by giggles.
"WHY do you keep laughing? That's it." Cho rolled up the sleeves of her robe, pulling out her wand.
Everyone stepped back, and most of the guys looked eager to see an asian girl showdown. Hermoine, on the other hand, wasn't about to let that happen.
"Cho! Be reasonable. April hasn't done anything to you, and hasn't even been here 2 weeks. Is this how you show Hogwarts to others? Besides, this is between you and Harry."
"Shut up, Granger. At least I've had boyfriends before." An "ooooh" followed that comment. Hermoine winced.
"Actually, Cho, Viktor Krum was and IS still madly in love with Hermoine." Another chorus of "oooohs" followed. Cho winced.
"Look who's talking, Weasley." She shot back. More "ooohs" followed.
"At least I don't have to date younger men!" Hermoine shot back. Everyone stared at Hermoine's retort. The loudest "ooohs" followed, with some clapping thrown in, as most of the upper class study body of Hogwarts had stopped by this point.
April was oblivious to this whole fight, and started giggling. At once Cho's attention reverted back to her.
"Ok, April. Let's go."
As Cho was about to unleash a spell on her, April whipped out a bright pink wand. She quickly made slicing motions in the air and yelled "HIYAH."
Cho stood still motionless.
Everyone stared, waiting to see Cho's reaction. Instead, Cho turned and motioned for her cronies to follow her. They followed, still looking stunned. As they left, Cho called back to Harry that she'd talk to them later.
By this time, the rest of the student body left as the bell was about to ring. Hermoine, Harry, and Ron turned to April.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing really, actually. I just reminded her that we Asians got to stick together."
"O..k..huh."
And that was that.
…..To be continued.
