Eriol's Troubles

by: Suzuki and Rika

---------------

So, have you finished your potions homework yet?" asked a boy with bright, red hair.

Harry sighed. "No Ron, and Eriol doesn't have and potions supplies." Harry said.

"Would anyone like some chocolate chip pancakes? They're fresh!" yelled Nakuru, skipping happily into the living room..

Suddenly, there was a groan from the other side of the room. Everyone looked up to see Eriol stumble in, holding his head in his hands.

"Nakuru...I had the most awful dream last night...Dumbledore came and..." He trailed off as he opened his eyes and noticed Harry and his friends. He groaned again. "I'm going back to bed..."

"Not until you try some pannnnnncaaaaaakeeeeesssss!" exclaimed Nakuru.

"That's our new professor?" a girl with bushy, brown hair asked Harry. "He's our age!"

"Aparently he's some kind of reincarnation or something. I just think he's a few ingredients short of a complete potion..."

Eriol sighed. "No, Nakuru, I can't eat three thousand pancakes. I just want to go upstairs, immerse myself in my books, and forget any of these even happened." Eriol turned and marched up the stairs.

"He means he's going to try and read, but get distracted and daydream about Tomoyo-chan until lunch instead." Nakuru said slyly, winking at them.

There was a loud THUMP followed by a groan somewhere near the top of the stairs. Aparently Eriol forgot sbout that last step...

"Are you ok Eriol?" Harry yelled from his seat.

"Just peachy..." Eriol mumbled.

"Wait!" The long-haired girl said. She got up and ran to the foot of the stairs. "I never got to introduce myself. You're our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, right?" She smiled. "I'm Hermione Granger."

"I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa, and contrary to popular belief, I don't spend all of my time daydreaming about Daidouji-san. I'm going upstairs now..." With that, Eriol turned, picked himself up, and headed to his study.

Hermione smiled widely, and went back to her seat. She sat down with a sigh.

"He's kind of cute..." she said aloud to no one in particular.

"Wait...If I'm his rwin, does that mean you think I'm cute too?" Harry asked, his eyes widening.

"Heck no!" Hermione squealed, breaking out into laughter.

"Oh..."

"Awww!" Nakuru said, patting Harry on the head like he was a puppy. "I think you're cute! Not as cute as Touya, but still cute!"

"Thanks..." Harry said, looking at Nakuru like she was insane.

"You're welcome!" Nakuru said with a smile.
