Chapter 5: Hots for Gilstricc
The enchanted ceiling of the Great Hall showed a vibrant colour of blue skies and sunrays looking like a fairy's blonde mane. Mornings in the Great Hall were like London in rush hour as students scampered for breakfast. Harry, Ron and Hermione sat together with the other Gryffindors just in time before the food was served.
"I could not sleep well last night." Hermione stifled a yawn and began filling her plate with sausages and bacons.
"Now wonder, must be the blonde git Malfoy. How was patrol?" Harry sympathetically asked Hermione and at the same time he lightly hit Ron on the head. Ron was leaning his head on the table and was snoring his breakfast away.
"Oww~~ Harry! What the bloody hell was that for?" Ron yawned as he rubbed his head and glared at his mate.
"You're over dramatic Ron. I didn't hit you that hard. Besides, you deserve that for making me look like a complete knob last night!" Harry hissed at Ron and shoved a butter toast in his mouth.
"I what? What exactly did I do?" Ron pouted looking down at his plate with his eyes half-open. Hermione frowned in front of the two boys then her face lit up and broke into a grin.
"Ron, you just called Harry as the Gryffindor sex god in front of Jenniah." Hermione broke into chuckles and earned several giggles from their fellow Gryffindors.
"Hey...It's not a bad idea, Harry." Romilda gave him a rather sexy smile.
Ron bolted his head right up and smiled while Harry's face blushed like a tomato.
"Gee, thanks Hermione that was quite an announcement." Harry muttered under his breath.
"Ahhh... Now I remember and yeah, you're right Harry I deserved that because I'm not that sorry. You should have seen the look in your face! That was priceless." Ron grinned and now fully awake, he helped himself with some food. They could hear Lavender and Parvati giggling excitedly. Harry glared at Ron and threw a toast on his face.
"Mate! I'm kidding and you're being obvious." Ron caught the toast and ate it.
"You prat! And what the hell do you mean by 'you're being obvious?' "
"Well, seems like you're over with your whole "Ginny issues" BECAUSE your attention has been completely diverted to someone else." Ron replied softly so that Ginny - who was just sitting five seats away from them - will not be able to hear.
Harry secretly looked at Ginny at the corner of his eye and did not supply Ron an answer.
"Speaking of Jenny, where is she? It's seven thirty already and classes starts at eight. Professor McGonagall asked me to assist her." Hermione bit her lip and was anxiously looking around for a girl with black curly hair and tan skin.
"Well, she might still be sle-" Ron closed his mouth when he noticed heads turned to the door of the Great hall. A girl with dishevelled curly hair and in her sleeping clothes came running towards the Gryffindor table.
Harry didn't realize that he was looking the entire time with his mouth open.
"Blimey! Isn't it a wonderful day..." Harry heard Seamus whispered.
"Good morning guys! Hi Hermione, Ron, Harry..." Jenny panted as she appeared at the table clad in a black tank top and a thin material of white pyjamas which clung to her skin. Her lose curly hair hung to her back and a towel draped on her shoulder.
"Good morning Jenny. We thought you've never come for breakfast." Hermione smiled as Jenny sat beside her.
"Of course not. The damn alarm clock did not work! I screwed my wake spell since I was...up all night." Jenny, as she was saying the last words, turned her eyes and locked with Harry's. Harry gave her a knowing but thin smile as her gaze sent weird sensations on his arms. His eyes noticed her tanned arms and hands. He took a short moment to appreciate the exposed skin as her arms were hidden last night by her robes. A small mole on her collarbone also caught his attention. He let his gaze secretly lingered on it and sudden images of him kissing that beauty mark entered his thoughts.
"Oh, but you haven't put on your school robes!" Hermione pointed out to the other witch. Harry turned his attention to her tank top and gasped silently. Any seventeen year old boy with healthy appreciation for women due to his active hormones would notice that Jenniah Soqunda was not wearing a bra.
The nubs were undeniably visible beneath her thin top.
Harry let out deep silent breath before reaching for a pumpkin juice and took big gulps from the glass. He was beginning to feel pressure inside his trousers but was consistently repeating in his mind to shove the image away. Harry was still not used to be a seventeen year old guy with a healthy flow of sexual hormones.
"Yeah, I know. I think I'll be late for Transfiguration. I'll just have to take a bath later." Jenny said and was already devouring her food.
In the middle of breakfast, owls entered the windows of the Great Hall and were dropping letters and packages from left and right to their respective owners. Hermione have just been dropped a Daily Prophet and immediately unrolled it.
"Anything interesting?" Ron asked within a mouthful of food.
"Stop talking with food in your mouth, Ron!" She scolded and scanned the morning paper. "Nothing fascinating…same old same old." Hermione sighed shortly and folded back the Daily Prophet.
"Same rubbish isn't it? Dementors, Death eater attacks...yeah, there's nothing fascinating about it." Harry said.
A large black crow went flying across the Gryffindor table, its distinct size and the package its holding made the crow noticeable. The bird made a short u-turn, dropped the package on Harry's direction and landed on Jenny's waiting arm.
"Ouch! Jenny, that looks bloody painful." Ron winced as the crow's claws were clutching Jenny's bare arm.
"At first it was but I'm used to it. His name is Ride." Jenny patted the crow and kissed its beak which made the crow whistled. Jenny got a piece of bacon and gave it to Ride.
Harry heard her talking to the bird in a strange language. He immediately thought it was parseltongue but he knew that the parseltongue is just for snakes. Looking at Jenny and Ride, they were actually engaged in an intimate communication that only she and the bird could understand.
"Ummm…that's not parseltongue is it?" Hermione asked, quite confused and curious with the strange language.
"Huh? Oh no. It's Völsungre, an Asian language that crows do understand. It sounds as creepy as parseltongue, I should say...Off you go Ride, live peacefully with the owls." Jenny let the enormous crow flew away. The crow's claws left mars on Jenny's arms and some of the scratches started to bleed.
"Jenny, your arm." Harry immediately got a table napkin then grabbed her arm to wipe the blood.
"Bloody deep those wounds are." Ron bit his lip as he watched Jenny's scratches.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it. That's how Ride shows that he loves me. Evanesco!" Jenny waved her wand at the scratches and it was gone. Harry's fingers glided on Jenny's arm where the scratches used to exist.
Harry glanced at her direction and saw her cheeks were a little flushed. He knew his touch affected her. Harry beamed at her. The fact that he made Jenny blush is a progress in his opinion, although he wasn't exactly sure what he's aiming with her.
"Thanks, Harry." Jenny glided her own fingers down to his arm until it reached his hand and gave it a squeeze.
"Uhh... yeah…i-it's nothing." It was Harry's turn to blush and realized that she did that to serve as a little revenge. Harry smiled at their exchange of physical flirtation and he squeezed her hand back.
Jenny reached the package across Harry and she tried to cover her smile. Harry thought he saw this naughty squint in her eyes before opening her package.
"Jenny, Transfiguration class is on the third floor. You could easily locate it and you have 15 minutes to change." Hermione reminded her.
"What? Shit, I'll go ahead guys. See you Ron, Hermione, Harry." Jenny gathered her stuff from the table and hurriedly stood up.
"See you in class." Ron and Hermione said in unison. As Jenny walked away from the Gryffindor table, most of the male students' attentions in the hall were following her. Harry noticed this and turned to look at Jenny. He immediately knew why the guys looked like they were drooling in their seats.
It was her thin white pyjamas. The material made it so obvious that she wasn't wearing anything beneath it. The fabric was so thin that her shapely bum clung tightly to it. This sight of her made Harry swallowed unconsciously and his gaze was just following that bum half walking and half running in the Great Hall. He got distracted when he heard whispers near him and he saw Jenny made a beeline to the Gilstricc table.
Jenny tapped two guys at the Gilstricc table and smiled warmly. Jenny lightly hit the bloke with black spiked hair on the head but gave him a hug. The second bloke with blonde straight hair also received a hug from her.
She was happily chatting with the two Gilstricc students when another bloke came walking towards their table. When Jenny looked at his direction, her whole face brightened and there was a smile when she towards the bloke. He had long wavy blonde hair down to his neck which covered his blue eyes and a particular strut which caught most of the Hogwarts females' interests.
Harry felt a weird churning in his stomach when he saw Jenny threw herself over the bloke and almost made them fall to the floor. She got both of her legs straddled on the bloke's hips and locked him in a tight embrace. The bloke laughed heartily at Jenny's behaviour with his cheeks sporting a blush.
"Whoa! She got a boyfriend from Gilstricc Academy? How come? She's from Asia right?" Lavender stretched her neck further to stare at the shameless scene.
"...I transferred from school to school every year and I intentionally made Hogwarts the last one."
Harry remembered their talk at the fireplace and suddenly lost the appetite to eat.
So she's got a bloke here... she knew that the Gilstricc Academy will spend the rest of the term that's why she intentionally chose Hogwarts to be her last year in school...
But… she just flirted with me earlier…that was kind of unfair... Harry's jaw as the green creature inside him started to surface. The Headmistress of the Gilstricc Academy scolded Jenny's position with the bloke and said something like "be ashamed in front of Dumbledore" and "make-out somewhere!"
"She really missed you huh?" Harry heard the spike-haired Gilstricc said while chuckling at Jenny and at the other bloke. Jenny was just standing beside him but they maintained a close distance. The creature inside Harry intensified when he saw the blonde bloke's arm on Jenny's back and his bloody hand was so near her arse.
"I did! I missed all of you" Jenny said and that cheerful smile was still plastered on her face.
"So Jenniah is all chummy with Gilstricc blokes eh... they are hot..." Parvati giggled.
"Agreed, the blonde guy beside Jenny is hot." Hermione added absent-mindedly and it earned her two sharp glares from Harry and Ron. Hermione blushed at her sudden comment.
"What? You think THAT is hot! His hair reminds me of Malfoy!" Ron said indignantly and Harry sighed a bit frustrated when he saw the bloke's nose on Jenny's hair.
She seems to be enjoying every bit of it! Harry thought getting a bit worked up with this whole situation. He could not understand himself for having intense feelings towards a girl he barely knew when he still has an unfinished business with Ginny. The way he was behaving was the same when he saw Ginny kissing Dean in the corridors of the Gryffindor hall during 6th year.
"Well, you're right Ron BUT he is far better-looking than Malfoy!" Hermione snorted.
"So you think Malfoy is "better-looking"?" Ron put on air quotes while looking at Hermione incredulously. "Ugh, Hermione!" Ron's face became red out of his irritation.
"Hey Hermione, I think Malfoy's hot and I agree with you that Jenniah's boyfriend is way hotter! You got good taste, Hermione!" Lavender said and glowered at Ron. Lavender's comment was deeper than that because she was trying to get back at Ron after they broke up last year. Well, if three months snogging can be called a relationship.
"Well if that's the case Lavender, your standards have lowered." Ron said hotly and raised his eyebrow.
"No, Ron. My taste just got far better than last year!" Lavender shrieked, gathered her school stuff and went away together with Parvati.
Ron frowned at Lavender and followed Lavender's gait with a glare.
Harry was just silent in the middle of Hermione, Lavender and Ron spat. His eyes darted towards the Gilstricc table and to add to his loss of appetite for all things, he just saw Jenny and the blonde guy walking away together exiting the Great Hall after she gave the other two Gilstricc boys a kiss on their cheeks. Before turning away his gaze, the blonde guy has his nose on Jenny's neck while she laughed heartily.
Maybe they followed the Gilstricc Headmistress' advice to make-out somewhere!
"Great." Harry muttered.
"I think I'll go ahead, before I received a list of standards from Ron on how should I choose my guys." Hermione sneered at Ron and went off.
"Girls!" Ron exhaled frustratingly.
Harry still has this crestfallen expression when he met Ginny's eyes. Ginny gave him the look that she'd noticed Harry's reaction when he saw Jenny with the Gilstricc bloke. Harry pressed his lips together and turned his gaze away from her.
"Harry! We'll be late!" Ron slapped Harry's shoulders and Harry sighed as both of them headed for Transfiguration. He ignored Ginny's stare which followed him until they were out of sight of the Great Hall.
