" I had to cancel that date with Shayne " sighed Hermione as she walked with Ron and Harry.
" Ah he'll get over it Hermione " said Ron.
Hermione scowled. " He seemed quite persistent on meeting me anyways. He said a drink in the Leaky Cauldron wouldn't hurt."
" But you said no " finished Ron darkly.
" Not exactly " continued Hermione.
" You didn't say yes " did you? snapped Ron. " Hermione this is a betrayal of our commitment."
Harry laughed. " Ron this commitment has only lasted three days."
" Ronald " snapped Hermione. " I said we would love to meet him in the Leaky Cauldron and I said the three of us would like it very much. I wasn't intending on going alone."
" Good " muttered Ron.
" But understand this Ronald Weasley. I will not stand to have a jealous , insufferable boyfriend. I will go where I want , see who I want, and hang out with who I want. Got it."
" Loud and Clear " answered Ron looking fearfull.
" Very well then " said Hermione. " I arranged to meet him this evening at six. He's a very interesting fellow really. He likes books and he seemed impressed with my SPEW efforts. Also he too disagreed with the Goblin Rebellion in 1678 in Albania. He belived they were provoked by Wizards."
" What the hell are you talking about Hermione?" asked Ron.
" History of Magic Volume seven " said Hermione. " It's our history book for this year. Dont tell me you haven't read it. Im serious Ron. Dont tell me , I already know the answer."
Harry sighed and continued on walking.
" Harry I thought you may have started it. We have ourNEWTS this year boys. We have just under a year to study."
" School is for studying Hermione. Summer Holidays are meant for relaxation."
" Oh Ronald when will you ever learn."
Harry shrugged. " I agree with him Hermione. I just dont where you find all this time to study."
" I wasn't studying when I read that book Harry. Its very interesting. Honestly if you two ever opened the book maybe you would think so too."
Ron laughed and nudged Harry. " You must be kidding Hermione. Sorry but the rebellion or revealation of gnomes does not interest me."
" Its Goblins Ronald."
" Sure Hermione. Hey look there's Fred and George. Lets play a game of Quiddich. Hey Harry what ever happened between you and Krum."
" Nothing " said Harry. " I guess they just forgot."
" Well we better remind them then Harry. I want to see you play seeker against him."
" Well I dont " replied Hermione. " Harry could get hurt."
" What " exclaimed Harry. " No I wouldn't."
" Harry , Victor is an international seeker. He has played in all kinds of weather and against all types of players. He knows his limits Harry , but you dont. I fear that Victor may forget how inexperianced you are."
" HE'S NOT INEXPERIANCED " yelled Ron.
Hermione sighed and folded her arms just like Mrs Weasley. " Harry know's exactly what I mean."
Harry twidled with his fingers and looked at the ground. Hermione looked at him. " You do know what I mean right?"
" Oh dear " said Hermione. " What I mean is.Victor is tough Harry. This summer I was with him while he collected his brother from the train station and we went to some quiddich stadium to where England train. Victor introduced himself and as soon as they saw him. They wanted him to train with them for a few minutes. I saw him play Harry. He was dead fast and he left his marker for dead. The poor seeker nearly fell of his broom trying to keep up with him. When the seeker landed he fainted on the ground. Victor pushes people Harry. They try to match his strength and they end up tiring themselves out. Now I'm not going to stop you from playing in this game , but I am warning you. Please be careful and dont try to out fly him. Remember slow and steady wins the race."
" Yeah right " muttered Ron. " And maybe if Harry say's his please and thank you's Voldemort will agree not to kill him."
Harry tried to not to laugh as Hermione glared at Ron.
" Very well Harry. Do as you please."
Harry smiled at Hermione and they walked into the house for dinner.
