1Disclaimer: Ya know you would think that if I did write the Harry Potter books then I wouldnt be here writing fanfictions would I? I would be too busy writing the actual books but you know some people are so naive.
RING RING DING DING I rolled over and pulled my big fluffy pillows over my head to block out that annoying noise. I had no idea where it was coming from and I was too lasy to go looking for it.
About fifteen minutes later it was really starting to get annoying so reluctantly I got out of bed and went searching. It wasn't until sometime later that I found a small black box with bright red numbers on it was the source of the bloody sound. On top of the strange object was a note. It read:
Ginny,
This is an alarm clock it will start ringing at 5:30 every morning so that you will wake up and you won't be late for work. If you want to turn it off simply it the long black button labeled off.
Lots of Love,
Hermione
Lots of Love? Who signs a letter like that? And did she really think that she needed to tell me that to turn it off you hit the off button. I mean really you would think that she thought I was 5 years old, not 22. But it is Hermione we are talking about.
I picked up the "alarm clock" and carefully hit the off button. Of it wasn't so light in my room I don't think I would have been able to find it. I mean who puts a black button on a black box that you are supposed to hit in the morning when it's dark? It just doesn't make sense to me.
I scramble into the kitchen and saw Hermione making some breakfast.
"Watcha making 'Mione?" I asked her.
"French toast. Want some?"
Hmm lets think about that one Hermione. It's 5:30 in the morning, we hardly have any food in our house, you are making french toast and you ask me if I want any. Real hard question that is.
"Umm, yeah" I say as I look in the refridgerator for some orange juice.
"Hermione we don't have any orange juice."
"Well then go to the store and buy some"
Yes because everyone wants to go to the store at 5:30 in the morning on an empty stomach in their pajamas. Honestly doesn't Hermione use her head? But of course since it's Hermione we are talking about she is already dressed and ready for the day. I wonder what time she gets up?
"'Mione what time do you get up in the morning?" Hey I was curious.
"4:00 a.m. why?" Yes the a.m. was definitely necessary because I thought that you didn't get up until 4 p.m..
"Just wondering."
I ate my French toast and went to the bathroom take a shower. After I got out I looked at the clock and it was only 6:00. I still had two hours before I had to be at work with my dreaded boss. Oh yeah I still haven't forgotten that stupid head potter (and now it is not immature to use the word stupid head at age 22) is my stupid boss.
After an hour of watching t.v. I decided to go to the store and get orange juice before work. The only problem was that I didn't know where the store was.
"Hermione where is the closest grocery store?"
"Umm, I think it's about 3 blocks down."
"K, then I am going to go and get some orange juice."
"Bye"
"Bye"
I left our house and walked down the road I got to the edge of our street and sat down because I had just had a horrible thought.
I didn't know what a block was.
Now don't laugh at me I grew up with wizards so I haven't the faintest idea what a block is. Isn't that the stupidest phrase you have ever heard, I haven't the faintest idea, I mean really what does it even mean? Does it mean you are going to faint if you actually had an idea? That would make sense to me because the only person I have ever heard use the phrase was Cho Chang and she is so stupid she probably would faint if she actually had an idea.
But now I'm off topic, so I am back to trying to figure out what a block is. I think I have an idea but I don't know if I am right. I think that it could be each big slab of cement on a sidewalk. Yeah that is probably it. So I walk three blocks but there isn't a grocery store there.
I turn to go back home when I see none other then Harry Potter coming my way.
"What do you want Potter," I practically spat at him.
"Ohmy aren't we grumpy. And to think I just came to tell you that there is an important meeting today after work at five that I think you should attend.
He sounded so Sirius that I had to burst out laughing.
"Oh really Potter you "think I should attend' well then I guess I have to attend don't I?"
I laugh at him one more time and turn to go back home.
"Ginny, why are you out in the middle of the sidewalk at 7 a.m. anyway.
I look him right in the eye and say "Because we needed orange juice."
He starts to laugh at me so I kick him in the shins
"Owww what was that for?" Oh yeah because there was no way he could have deserved that.
"It's one thing to laugh at someone Potter but to laugh at them when they have no idea why you are laughing at them is just plain rude." I stepped, excuse me, stomped on his toe and went on my way.
Potter comes limping back over to me like the little wuss he is.
"Unless you are going to explain to me why you are laughing at me I suggest you go away before you are seriously injured. Unlike you are now so you can stop limping."
He stops.
"You honestly mean to tell me that you haven't the faintest idea why I was laughing at you?"
Now it's my turn to laugh at him.
"I ...Can't...Believe...You...Just ...said...that..." I say between fits of laughter.
Potter apparently too mature for me decides to shrug it off.
"Well just so you know the grocery store s right there." He points to a place right in front of us.
"Well how was I supposed to know that? I've never been in a muggle grocery store before I don't know what it looks like." I say trying to defend my stupidity.
"Well I'll just come in with you so that you don't get lost." Yeah I bet thats the only reason you want to come in with me. It definitely has nothing to do with the fact that you're in love with me.
After my very long and boring shopping trip with Potter I was able to get to work. Not that I was happy about this considering Potter was still my boss.
When I strolled into my office however, I was even less happy there sitting in a chair on the other side of my desk was none other then Cho Chang.
"What do you want?" Yes I know I am so very professional. I think I'll probably get the employee of the month. I don't get the employee of the month, and when I say this I mean that I do not understand it as well as don't actually receive the award. What I don't get is how you can award people for being good employees' buy giving them a plaque on the wall. How is that rewarding? Oh yeah you have been an excellent employee I think you can have your name on the wall, isn't that exciting?
Once I zoned back to reality I realized that Cho had completely ignored me. How rude!
"I said what do you want?"
This time she turned to face me looked me right in the eye and simply said "I want to see Harry."
"Yes well Mr. Potter is very busy today so why don't you come back some other time like next year perhaps."
"I have every right to see Harry, I want to apologize to him for being so rude to him all through 5th, 6th , and 7th year."
"Um it's a little late for that honey. And why the sudden interest in Potter anyway?" I mean she hasn't seen him in years and now she wants to become all buddy buddy with him. Not that I care or anything.
"Well if you must know-"
"I must."
"I happen to have just broken up with Roger and as you and Harry aren't going together anymore I thought he might want to...reconnect."
"Oh well if that's what you wanted I couldn't care less." I was about to push her out of the room when Potter walked in.
"Why hello Cho I see you and Ginny have been talking," He smiles at me politely and I glare back at him.
"Yes Cho here was just about to leave." I try and get her to maybve forget why she was here in the first place. It didn't work.
"Actually Harry, I was wondering if maybe sometime you might want to go out for a bite to eat." She batts her oh-so-fake eyelashes and it makes me sick.
"Well," says Harry, "Step into my office and we can make the proper arrangements."
I feel an unfamiliar feeling in the pit of my stomach but I try to ignore it, I mean after all it's probably just queasiness from having to be in the same room as theses two lovebirds.
Harry looks at me and I think he can tell I'm uncomfortable because he gives me his bloody smirk again and him and Cho leave the room.
"Oh yeah go into Potter's office and be all secret like. Go ahead you can say stupid things like 'I haven't the faintest idea' and 'a bite to eat' 'I would like you to attend' see if I care." I yell back at the blank wall.
I sit down in my chair and sigh this is going to be a long day.
