His thoughts were everywhere. Why would a Malfoy take auror training? Harry pondered, oblivious to what was going on around him. When it was time to leave he was so startled that he almost fell out his chair. As he reached the door he spotted his old captain and friend, Oliver Wood. Oliver had gone on to be the best quiditch player, since Harry hadn't decided to play professionally, or so said the teen witch magazines. When he was about to shout a Hello he froze. Mornie had just reached Oliver. Harry felt a strange stab-like feeling between his chest. He watched as Oliver wrapped his hand around Mornie and kissed her. Then again, thought Harry, ignoring the pain, Why should I care?
Just then Oliver turned and spotted him, "Oye Harry," Oliver shouted indicating for him to join them.
Harry walked slowly over there cursing himself with each step. What was wrong with him! He had no feelings her and Oliver was a good friend.
"Hello," Harry said when he finally reached them still mentally cursing himself. "How's your practice going?" he asked Oliver.
"Its great! Cant wait to play against Spain," he then smiled at Mornie and said, "So I see you and Harry Potter are now partnered up. Promise me you'll teach her the ropes, ah Harry?" At this Harry looked on in confusion. What? They had? When? Then again...he hadn't been paying attention.
Harry just nodded as he saw Mornie look at his scar when Oliver said his name. He didn't even feel anything anymore when people noticed it; everyone always had the same reaction to stare.
"Well Harry its nice seeing you but I must go. I only came to wish Mornie luck and see how her first day. We've got to catch up soon. Now I got to go to practice again," he said waving goodbye as Harry bid him farewell. With a last kiss to Mornie, Oliver walked away, and they all walked their separate ways.
Hermione was sitting down on a chair concentrating intently. Damn! She'd tried at least 20 different spells and quick potions in the past hour and only succeeded in changing him from lavender to blue to pink which horrified Fred, then back to purple.
"Ah there's no use!" Fred mumbled, "Even the smartest witch of her time cant help me!"
"I can do this," she replied. Thinking back to Hogwart's: A History wouldn't help her this time. Then she remembered the spell book she'd just bought and left in George's room yesterday. "Wait I'll be right back," she called and ran to George's room creating havoc trying to find that book. Now Hermione think where did you put it.
Fred was sitting there thinking about telling her. He almost feel from his chair as he jumped when she screamed "Yes, I got it!"ﾝ
She walked back into the room with a smug look on her face. "Here Fred, hold this so I can see if this spell works. Purpurrota,"ﾝ Hermione pronounced clearly with a swoosh of her wand. Slowly the color started to fade.
"OH MY GOD FRED," She exclaimed getting a mirror.
"What? Tell me please tell me I'm not pink again!" Fred cried. Hermione just laughed at that, took the book and gave him the mirror. Fred got to see himself and this time he wasn't lavender anymore, in fact he was normal again.
"Oh Hermione, you are the smartest witch," he said grabbing her and spinning her around while she blushed a bit. "Thanks..."
She laughed again. "Alright I guess we are back to work."ﾝ
Fred's smile slipped a little, he should tell her, he thought. He opened his mouth to finally say it, when George's voice was heard calling them down. Fred shut his mouth then opened again, in defeat. "Seems we are needed, let's go," he said opening the door for her.
"Where you going to say anything Fred?" Hermione asked him. Fred smiled whistfully. "Nothing important," he replied and she shrugged her shoulders and went down stairs.
