Chapter 13: Just Don't Talk To Me
Hermione woke up at exactly six in the morning. She immediately takes a bath. After taking a bath, she runs towards her room. She opens her closet and picks her undies, bra, school uniform, socks and her cloak. She placed it on her bed and starts to dress herself up.
She was on her bra and undies when there was a knock on her door. She picks up her towel and wraps it around her body. She approached the door and opens it. Hermione saw Draco leaning on her door, smiling.
"Hi! What do you want?" Draco thinks for a bit. "I need my notebook." Hermione became puzzled. "Notebook? What notebook?"
"My notebook. I lend it to you when you didn't show up one day in our class in Potions. Remember?" Hermione leans on the door and then she brightens up. "Yeah! Now I know. Your Potions notebook. Right?" Draco nods.
"Ok. Wait for a minute." She then closes her door and starts to move towards her study table. She pulls one of the drawers and saw a silver notebook that has a word 'POTIONS' engraved on it. She picks it up and walks towards the door. She opens it and hands it out to Draco. "Thank you." She smiled at him. "No problem."
"So I guess I see you in Potions later."
"Yeah. See you, later."
"Bye."
"Bye." She closed the door and proceeds to clothe herself.
Zia was putting fancy little heart shape earrings on her ear when Gabour enter her room. "Miss, Professor Snape is here. Where should I lead him?" She turns around. "At the balcony. And, just say that I'll be there for about five minutes." Gabour bows down and leaves her.
She walks towards her full-length mirror and position herself in front of it. She was wearing a pink tube top, a balloon white skirt, some flip-flops with embellished stones, some fancy earrings and her hair was in a ponytail. She touched her left earring. I hate fancy ones…If it wasn't for Sev, I wouldn't even wear it…He likes me to be simple…I hate simple things…but…I can manage for Sev…Zia smile to herself. He really made me change some things in my life…that's why I love him so much…
She looks at herself again for a final look in the mirror. Satisfied on what she sees, Zia exits her bedroom to go to her balcony to see Sev.
She opens the balcony door and saw Sev's back sitting on the dining table set up for the balcony, eating breakfast. She runs towards Sev and covers his eyes. "Guess who?" He touched her long white silky bone fingers and he knew right then that it was Zia. "Zia…"
She looks at him and sits beside him. "So, how are you?" He looks at her, pissed. "Pissed. Irritated. Stressed out." Zia sighed and touch his hair. "Hey, don't be like that to your students." Sev became confused. "How do you know?" Zia rolls her eyes. "Duh! You're always like that! You always hate your students."
"I don't know. They just make me angry." Zia rolls her eyes and pats him on the shoulder. "Hey, take it easy. Just don't let them get into your nerves." Sev eats some eggs and swallows it. "Well, I guess I can manage that. So, why do call me here?"
Zia smiles at him and leans closer. "I just want to talk to you. I miss you, Sev. Do you miss me?" Sev smirked. "Of course, I miss you." Satisfied on his answer, she pulls away from him and lean back on her chair. "Can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
She looks at him. "Stay with me for the rest of the day." Sev choked on what she had said. "WHAT!" She frowned. "You heard me!" He sighed. "I can't do that. You know I have so many lessons to teach to my students. I'm really busy right now." He took her hand and holds it. "I'm sorry."
Zia pulls away her hand and crosses her arms. "Whatever." He stands up. "I have to go. I'm really sorry." Zia stands up and looks at him. "You'll be so sorry that you rejected me." She pushed him and leaves him behind.
Narcissa and Delanna came to Hogwarts early in the afternoon. They were walking towards Professor Dumbledore's office when a house elf stops them. "Excuse me but I cant let you in on Professor Dumbledore's office." Delanna raised her eyebrow on the house elf. "Why?"
"He's with the students, eating lunch." Narcissa looks into the eyes of the house elf. "What time can we talk to him?"
"Right now.", a calm voice said. Recognizing the voice, they turned to see Professor Dumbledore walking towards them. He welcomes the two lovely ladies with open arms. "Ah, Welcome. What can I do for you?" Narcissa smiles at him. "I need a favor, Professor Dumbledore. But, first of all, can we talk on a more private room?" He smiles at her from his moon spectacle glasses and nods in agreement. "Well, then follow me. LEMON DROPS."
The eagle steps aside and Professor Dumbledore steps in. Followed by Narcissa, Delanna and the house elf. They climbed the stairs and enter the door that leads to Professor Dumbledore's office. Professor Dumbledore sits on his chair and motions to the ladies to sit down. They sat in front of him while the house elf stand beside Narcissa.
"Gabour, you can go now." With his permission, the house elf snaps his fingers and was gone. "So, let's get into business. What's your favor?" Narcissa inhales and then she exhales. "Can we steal Draco this coming Saturday? I promise you we'll return him early in the morning the next day." Professor Dumbledore thinks for a bit. "For what?"
"You see, Professor, my twin daughters are having they're birthday this coming Saturday. They wish we could have a formal dinner together as a family. They just want Draco and their sisters to be there, on that special day."
"Well, it's a weekend." He paused for a minute and then he said, " Yes, he can go."
Narcissa and Delanna smiles at each other. "Thank you so much, Professor." Narcissa reached for his hand and holds it. "No problem."
Narcissa stands up, followed by Delanna. "I think we should go. We have so much things to do. Anyway, thank you again." Professor Dumbledore raised his hand. "Your welcome. Have a nice day."
"Yes, we will. You too, have a nice day. Goodbye." And then they left the always-happy Professor.
The Slytherin and Gryffindor students were now sitting on their respective seats at the dungeons for their Potions class. The room was filled with loud chatting students when there was a bang on the door. They saw a furious Professor Snape walking towards to the front. They sat up and became silent.
"Let's begin." With that the students bring their books, notebooks, inks and quills to their desks. "Now, who can tell me about the Secretum Potion?" Hermione raise her hands. Professor Snape rolls his eyes and sighed. "Ok, Ms. Granger, tell me." She smiles at him and stands up. "Secretum Potion is a potion for telling secrets."
"Ten—" BANG! There was a loud bang on the door. The students all looked to the door to see who it is. They saw Zia standing on the door with her arms crossed in her chest, tapping her right foot and she looked very aggravated. She was looking at Professor Snape, darting him with some angry looks. She was wearing a black knitted poncho, white pencil mini skirt to show off her gorgeous legs and black stilettos.
After noticing all the students' stare at her, she smirked at them and walks over to Professor Snape. She leans on him. "I told you, you'll be so SORRY for REJECTING me." She backs away from him and turns to look at the students.
Noticing that her sister is still standing, she said, "Ms. Granger, please sit down." Hermione sits down. "Ok, I just want to tell all of you that starting this day," she looks at Professor Snape and back to the students, "Potions class would be postpone for two weeks."
Hearing the news, all the students cheered and were happy about it. Professor Snape was shocked. He pulled Zia into him and whispers, "Are you out of your mind? What would Professor Dumbledore say? You're breaking Hogwarts' law, Zia." Zia raised her right eyebrow to him. "I'm not out of my mind. For your information, Daddy already knows about it and he agrees with it."
Professor Snape shook his head. "I can't believe this. But, how about the lessons?"
"Simple. You just give them five assignments that would represent five lessons that would supposed to be discussed this following weeks. Then, after that WE could have some time together."
"No, I'm not allowing it." She raised her eyebrow again. "Really?" He nods. She grins and claps her hands to get the attention of the students. "Listen up people." The students became silent and listen to her. "Professor Severus Snape here doesn't agree with me." The students hearing this, said 'boo' to him. "Ok, settle down. Can you help me change Mr. Snape's mind here?" She looks at him.
"YES!"
"Ok." She looks at the students again. " Do all of you agree with me, if I say that all of you needed some rest on this bullshit class?"
"YES!"
"Do all of you agree with me, if I say Professor Severus Snape should take some rest too?"
"YES!"
"Do all of you agree with me, if I say Professor Severus Snape should give his woman some QUALITY TIME?" She faces him and looks at him in the eyes.
"WOHOH!" Professor Snape rolls his eyes. Oh no…there's no escape to this… "Ok. Fine." The students cheered once again. Zia smiles at him and kissed him in front of his students…passionately. He wraps his arms around her curvaceous waist while she nestles her arms on his neck. "Look, they're kissing.", a Gryffindor girl said to her friend. The students stopped from celebrating and looked at the two people in front of them. They were so stunned but at the same time they were happy for him. They can't believe it; Professor Snape was kissing a girl…in front of them. So they decided to clap for their beloved Potions Professor.
Zia pulls away from the kiss and turns to the students. "Now, class dismissed." The students cheered again and left the two lovers in the classroom.
"I can't believe it!" Harry said to Lavander, Parvati, Neville, Seamus and Hermione. They were now eating their dinner at the Great Hall. "Yeah, it's really shocking." Lavander said. "I've never imagined Professor Snape falling in love." Parvati said. Neville and Seamus just nodded in reply.
Noticing Hermione was silent and was just staring at her food; Harry approached her. "Hey, Mia, are you ok?" She looks up at him and nodded. "Yeah, I'm just confused on Zia's actions these past few days."
"Why? Are you not in favor of Professor Snape?" Hermione ponders for a bit. "I'm not against Professor Snape. But, I'm afraid to share Zia and her time to him. Instead of focusing her time to me, she will just have to split it to Professor Snape and me. I hate that, Harry." She pushed her plate away from him. He holds her hands for reassurance. "Mia, don't think like that. Yes, she wouldn't be able to give her time to you like before but just understand her. She's happy with him and you should be happy too for her."
She looks up to fight the tears on her eyes but a tear fell from her left eye. "Yeah, I guess so." Seeing a tear fell from her eye, Harry immediately wipes it away. "Hey, don't be sad. Don't force yourself to accept it. I know you can accept it in the right time. You will just have to wait for it."
"Yeah. Anyway, thank you for the advice." Harry stuffed his mouth with mashed potatoes and winks at her. "No prob." Hermione giggled.
"Hey, Hermione can we talk for a minute?" She turns to look Seamus. "Yeah, sure." They both stand up. "Goodluck, partner." Harry said to Seamus. Hermione frowned. "What does he mean by that?" Seamus smiles at her. "Nothing. Let's go."
They exit the Great Hall and Seamus directed Hermione on the end of the corridor. "So, what do you want to talk about?" Seamus scratches his head. "umm…Mia…do you think I have a chance on…on…you?" Hermione tilts her head on her right side. "What do you mean by that?" Seamus puts his hands on his pocket and walks around. "I mean, if ever I would court you…would you give me a chance? I mean, to be your boyfriend?" He stops on walking 2 meters away from her.
Hermione's jaw dropped on what Seamus had said. "I…I…don't know what to say." He holds her hands and with a pleading voice he said, "Mia, please, I'm begging you. Just give me a chance." She looks at his eyes and sighed. "Ok, I'm gonna give you a chance." Seamus brightened up. "But, I'm not promising you that I'm going to be your girlfriend." He became sad but Hermione pats him on his shoulders. "Don't worry you have a chance on me. It means, you just have to do your best to court me then from that I'm gonna have my decision. Is that ok with you?"
Seamus smiles at her. "Yeah, so it's on." Hermione giggles and then she smirked. "Yeah! It's on!"
Ginny was combing her hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom when there was a knock on the door. She puts down her comb and walks over to the door. She opens it and found Harry standing in front of her. She was about to close the door but Harry puts his hands on it to stop it.
Ginny opens it again. "What do you want?" Harry still not taking his hands on the door said, "We need to talk."
"Wait for me outside the tower." Harry nods and walks away. She closed the door and proceeds to comb her hair. She grabs her lip balm put some to her lips then she looks at the mirror for a final look.
Satisfied, she walks over to the room. "Meg, I'm going out to talk to Harry." Meg puts down the magazine she was reading and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Ginny, make sure you end it now. He's not worth it for your love. And, I don't want to see him again here. Understand?"
"Yeah." She walks away from her and leaves the room. She climbs down the stairs, walks into the common room and out to the Gryffindor tower. She looks on her left; there's no one there. Then she looks at her right and saw Harry leaning on the cold stone wall. His hands were on his pockets and he was just looking at the floor.
Ginny approached him and stands in front of him. "Hey…", she said to catch his attention. Harry looks up and smiles at her. Ginny looks at him. Oh no…don't smile at me like that…It makes my heart melt… She looks away from him and said, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Gin, why are we like this? Until now, I'm confused as to why you're acting like this?" He grabs her hands and squeezed it. "What have I done? Tell me, what's wrong?" She looks at him again and then she lowers her head. "You wouldn't understand if I tell you."
Harry lets go of her hands and placed his hands to her jawbone to lift her face up. "I'll do my best to understand it." Ginny pulls away from Harry's touch. "Ok. I will tell you but can I ask you something?"
"Yes, what's that?" He walks over to her.
"Do you still love Hermione?" Hearing this, he backs away from her. "Not anymore. Why?" Ginny shrugged. "I just want to know."
"So, can you tell me now?" Ok, this is the moment of truth…you have to tell it… She looks deep in his eyes. "I didn't mean it. I thought it was just a simple crush. But, it turns out to be love. I…I…" She breathes deeply to held back the tears now forming her eyes but it was too late, a tear came trickling down her cheek. "I…love…you…Harry…"
Harry was shocked. He can't believe it. He shook his head. It can't be…she can't be in love with me… Ginny falls down on her knees and starts crying. "I'm sorry, Harry. I can't help it."
"But, why me? And why do you have to hate me when I didn't do anything to you?" She stands up to look at him, aggravated on his question. "I don't know. I hate you because you keep on hurting me. All you keep saying is Hermione's name. The only important thing to you is Hermione. Sometimes, I want to ask you, am I important to you? But, I cant. I don't have the guts to say it. And, do you know what's more hurting to me?" She stops to catch her breath because she was crying uncontrollable. "You wouldn't let me in..." She points her fingers to Harry's chest. "to your heart…"
She puts down her fingers. "Don't worry. I'm not asking you to love me because I'm already tired waiting for you. There's only one thing I'm requesting you to do. Don't talk to me…again."
She was about to walk away from Harry but he grabs her arms to stop her. She turns around. "What do you want?", she said still crying. "I'm sorry, for hurting you." She pulls away her arm on Harry's hold. "Just don't talk to me." And with that, Ginny leaves Harry on the empty cold corridor…alone.
