Author's Notes:
-Chapter Two: Flying Books & A Black Eye-
It was the beginning of
July, but the nights were still cool and breezy. The evening wind started to
blow, and it was getting darker as the hours went by. It was eight .P.M as the sun was begging to set; the
Wizard Clock was now pointing at the words 'Dinner time!'.
Harry was buttoning his dark-green button-up shirt, while throwing small
glances at Hermione from the corner of his eyes. She noticed, but still
continued to get ready, while clearly ignoring his presence in the room.
"Hermione." Harry's voice was calm, but a little edgy.
He tried to make her
answer him by simply repeating her name over and over in the past hour, but she
seemed not to hear him. His small plan had failed, because he was the one who
started to crack before Hermione did.
This is Malfoy's fault… He thought bitterly. Draco Bloody Malfoy!
Truth be told, Malfoy had become one of his best mates. But it certainly didn't make him less of a git than he had always been.
When they first became friends it was hard for them not to insult each other, which was the reason they developed some kind of a strange game. It could have been named after its purpose: The 'Who Will Get The Other Into Trouble With His Girlfriend/Wife Faster?' game.
But the outcome was never
even equal, which was a problem. Ginny usually forgave Draco after 10 minutes,
while Hermione could have declared a war on Harry.
Harry was now becoming very annoyed with Hermione's behavior; she was making a fuss over nothing. So what if he sent her friends home in a very unfair way? It was not an excuse to give him the silence treatment.
"Come on!" Harry snapped, irritated, "I told you I was sorry! What else
could you possibly want from me, woman?!"
The last word to leave his
mouth was the one to make Hermione far beyond cracked.
The only answer Hermione could give Harry caught him off-guard, as it came
flying at him in a shape of a big brown book. It hit him straight in the face,
knocking him flat on his back.
"OW!!! What did you do that for?" he asked angrily and clutched his
eye as he tried to get up.
She could only giggle
silently at the sight of his swollen eye, which was bound to get purple very
soon. Unless she was very much mistaken, Hermione has just given him a black
eye.
"Crazy Hag…" He muttered to himself as he got to his feet.
At the same second he finished saying that sentence,
Hermione became angry again. Another book came flying at him, missing him by an
inch as it landed.
He came to the conclusion that shutting-up at this point would be a splendid
idea.

Half an hour later, still not
speaking to each other, Harry and Hermione Apparated into The Burrow. They were
standing in the middle of the Living Room, which was crowded with people. All
of the Weasley clan had arrived to the gathering (except for Percy, who was
visiting Penelope's parents that night).
"Well look who decided to grace us with their presence," said a
smiling Arthur Weasley.
"Arthur!" beamed Hermione as she hugged the man that had been like a
second father to her, "We had a few problems, I am so sorry to have kept
you waiting!" she said while frowning in Harry's direction. Arthur just
smiled and proceeded to greet Harry.
"Harry," his smile grew bigger, "what did you do to deserve
that?" he chuckled lightly.
"It was Malfoy's fault, Dad! Ask Mom!" he protested while glancing at
the now smirking Draco.
"But
I did kind of called her a Crazy Hag…" Harry murmured.
"Now, that is not nice, son. Hermione can't be a hag, she's too
beautiful," Arthur said cheerfully, ignoring the crazy part, because
everyone knew about Hermione's moods.
Hermione greeted the men in the room with quick hugs, and then hurried to join
Ginny, Lavender, Angelina, Fleur and Jessica.
Jessica was Charlie's wife. She had long black hair, bright brown eyes and the body of a super model (which she was). But one thing was different about her: Unlike everyone else in the room- she was a Muggle.
Hermione
greeted the mob of giggling women and told them all about Harry's last
'accident'.
Ron reached Harry first after his father, with a big smile on his face. Harry
knew what was coming it's not everyday that he waltzed into The Burrow with a
black eye.
"Harry mate, would you mind explaining that?" said Ron, gesturing
towards his face.
"Ron… I could easily explain it to you, he was born that way. Unlucky bloke. Why are you so surprised now?" Draco said with a smirk.
"Don't get me started about your face, Malfoy!" Ron said with a snarl.
"What is wrong with my face, dear brother? I believe you
said Malfoy, have you forgotten my last name?" Ginny asked him with a calm
look. When he didn't answer she smiled. "I see. Well Harry, you were saying…"
She said with an evil smile playing on her face, turning her eyes to Harry.
"I…um…see, I tripped over something…" He stumbled on his words, while
Ron looked at him suspiciously.
All the women in the room and Draco broke into peals of laughter, as the rest
of the men (minus Arthur who kept smiling) looked at them weirdly. Harry felt
the temperature in the room rising, as he blushed a deep shade of scarlet.
Ginny was
the first to stop laughing after a few seconds.
"Sure you did honey, with all those-" She let out a giggle,
"books… lying around the flat!" she soon started laughing again.
"What are you getting at' Gin?" Fred asked her curiously, but she
kept laughing with the other women.
"She's
mental. They all are," George replied to his twin.
"Wait a second. Jess, wants going on?!" Charlie asked his wife.
"Ask Harry!" was all she told him. A very unhelpful answer, that was.
Bill, who had remained silent the whole time, watched as the women made the
other men very confused, and Harry very embarrassed.
He also
noticed that Draco was the only one with a smirk on his face, and approached
him.
"Okay, mate, what do you know?" he whispered to him.
"Only that I got our dear friend over there," He nodded toward Harry,
"in a lot of trouble with Hermione this morning." He smiled proudly,
while Bill let out a small laugh.
"So he pissed her off, and she threw a couple of books at him," Bill
said, a little too loud, because now the whole room was bursting with laughter.
Poor Harry felt like digging a hole in the ground and disappearing into it.
Suddenly, it was as if Harry's prayers have been heard…
"DINNER!!!" Molly's voice boomed from the Kitchen.
The merry crowd soon forgot about Harry, and was now
exiting the Living Room and making their way to the kitchen.
Still flushed and grim, Harry stood in the middle of the room, shock engraved
on his face.
"She's an evil creature, that woman…evil!" he hissed at Ron, who was looking
rather amused.
"I told you to never get on Hermione's bad side!" Ron told him
knowingly.
"But-but-she gave me a black eye! And then...then this!" he threw his
arms in the air, gesturing at the room.
"She's your girlfriend." Ron shrugged, "Come on mate, the food's
waiting and I'm hungry." He patted his stomach lightly.
"You're always hungry," Harry said, rolling his eyes at him.
"I'm a man," Ron said defensively. Harry only smiled, as the pair of
them made their way to the kitchen.
