CHAPTER FOUR
Harry and Ron walked down the corridor on their way to charms.
"So Ron, how was your date last night?" Ron looked at Harry suspiciously and replied
"Great, we had heaps of fun. I admit Victoria is different, but that's what I like about her"
"brilliant"
"What did you do last night?"
"Arr, nothing much, I went out a bit you know"
"Pretty boring, heh?"
"Yeh, the usual"
"You should get a girlfriend Harry, I mean, it can't be that hard, you've defeated you-know-who so many times, getting a girl would be the easiest bit"
You don't know the least of it.
Hermione met up with Harry and Ron at the door.
"Have you guys done your homework?" she said eagerly
"Oh bloody hell, I totally forgot, with training and stuff it totally slipped my mind"
"Here you go" she handed her scroll to Ron and Harry and they slid down to the floor and started copying. She took a look through the window wondering where Viktor was. Her stomach churned when she saw him sitting at the back desk . . . right next to hers. A quick thought went through her mind 'How did he get in there?' but it slipped her mind as she noticed Ron was giving her weird looks.
"Hey, are you alright?" he asked
"Oh yes, just thinking"
"You do way too much of that"
As they walked into the classroom, Hermione dragged Harry and Ron to the front desks
"What's the problem?" Harry said furiously
"Yeh, those seats have our names on them"
"I just thought, we should pay extra attention because . . . the ah final . . . exams are coming up" she said bouncily
"Yeh, in three terms" Ron mumbled. They looked at the front of the room where on the board was the extensive list of homework they were supposed to have finished.
"Now, I'm going to go round and collect all of the homework. I expect it to be done" Ron and Harry looked at ach other and quickly grabbed out a black scroll and jotted down some more words.
'Charms are good because you can use them to protect yourself and change things into other things. They are very helpful when you run out of frogs because you can make more using charms. I'm not sure what charms you would use but I think they would be non-poisonable. Harry Potter'
'I use charms when I'm in class. They help me remember what I have to do. My mum uses charms to make the dishes clean themselves and the vacuum jhooosh itself. Ron Weasley'
'Charms are from the origan of Latin. They are based on this language because all languages are linked back to this time and place. Charms have been used for millions of years but the creator of the basic charms in unknown. Since the beginning of the witches and wizards, charms have been a great source of pleasure, work and help. They can be used in many different circumstances. You can use charms to bewitch your cooking utensils to cook themselves, a car to fly or do other actions a car or automobile is not made for doing. They can also be used for pleasure. You can give yourself a back massage using charms and charms were used in the beginning of quiddich. It is very important that you read all of the print that comes with charms or you may get yourself in trouble. Please turn the page to read more about charms and their uses.
Hermione Granger'
"I'm coming around now, I expect to see a description on the uses of charms and the background of charms, Three inches long. I also expect a four foot minimum report on what you would do and what charms you would use in these circumstances"
Professor Flitwick walked around the classroom picking up scrolls full of tiny writing.
"Very good, great work, I expected more from you" Harry and Ron watched as Professor Flitwick got closer to their seats. Hermione handed her work in
"Fantastic, five points to Gryffindor" Harry and Ron bother forced their sheets to the bottom of the pile only to have a stern look upon them as they work retrieved.
"Very disappointing Mr Potter, you too Mr Weasley, ten points from Gryffindor"
Ron waited until the professor was out of earshot and said, "We did what she asked, three inches long."
Hermione gave him a stern look
"Kind of."
As the class dragged on so did the time. When it finally came to an end they all filed out of the room at a very rapid speed.
"Hey guys" Ron said "I need to grab my books from the common room, see you soon"
"Okay, bye then" Hermione grabbed Harry's arm before he could offer to go with Ron
"Harry" she whispered "I need to talk to you about Victoria, she's not what it seems"
"I know, Ron thinks she's better"
"No, I mean, she is literally not what she seems"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean Victoria is not Victoria" Hermione spotted Viktor out of the corner of her eye, he was dangling his stop watch and looking at her
"Come on" she said, pulling Harry away. As they power walked to the fifth floor Hermione kept her eye out for Ron and Viktor. They rounded the last corner and hid behind a giant statue of a hawk
"What is it?" Harry said puffing
"This is going to be very hard to believe but . . ."
"And what do we have here?" Hermione and Harry looked up the shoulder length black hair and the dark robes . . . Snape.
"Aaaaah, Professor Snape, ummmm hello"
"Get out here" he said angrily, but coolly. Passing students stopped and watched as Hermione and Harry stepped out from behind a statue. All of a sudden there was a loud "OOOOooo," and Snape turned to give everyone a fierce look. Hermione dropped her head to try and hide her face but failed dismally.
"I'm not even going to ask what you were doing behind there. Detention all week and twenty points from Gryffindor" Snape strolled off fairly pleased with himself.
Harry and Hermione quickly walked off trying to ignore the immature sounds the onlookers were making.
That afternoon, Hermione and Harry filed to Filches office, where Draco was standing getting a stern talking to
"That was very stupid boy! Trying to pull a stunt like that! You've got detention with me this afternoon! Right now! Ahhhh, so, here are my other trouble makers, come in"
Draco gave a surprised look to Harry and stood where he was.
How lucky is this, maybe we'll get to do this after all
Hermione stared at Draco very surprised herself
"The lot of you can clean the bathrooms, you choose which one's you do first, they are all terrible no thanks to you kids, messing about and . . . "
This is unbelievable, antidote, here we come
"Okay, we'll get going then"
"Mrs Norris, you keep an eye on them"
The three students walked out of the office and made their way to the abandoned toilets on floor 7.
"Okay, Hermione's going to help us Malfoy"
"Whatever you want Potter, If you're happy, I'm happy"
"Hermione will look through these books and you look through those" Harry walked over to one of the basins and took out the bowl.
"Here you go" he said chucking some books to Draco. He placed the bowl back on the cupboard and sat down next to Hermione. They flicked through the pages, saying everything they were thinking, well . . . almost everything
Harry - I never realized just how talented Hermione actually was, wow
Hermione - Is this the same Harry I've known for seven years? How come I've never felt like this before?
Draco - This book is so old, bloody hell, it broke
now review! (please)
