HP the Gryffindor Heir and the Labyrinth
By Rina Bollyqueen 420 **************************************************************************** **** A/N I'm glad that most of you liked my last chapter. I hope I didn't confuse you with the language switch between Sapna and Rahul's duel. I'm going to put a short description of their relationship in this chapter, as well as stuff relating to the main plot. **************************************************************************** *********************** Girls Talk
Hermione and Ron convinced Harry and Ginny, to come to the DA meeting before taking a well deserved rest after their short time in the Underground. As they walked to DA, Harry and Ron discussed how they could get to the Dursley's without being caught by the professors.
"Well it is a Hogsmeade weekend, right?" asked Harry.
"Yeah. So?"
"Well what me and you can do is ............."
Hermione and Ginny, who were walking ahead of the boys were discussing the new development in Hermione's love life.
"Honestly don't they know that they'll get caught? Then they'll get expelled as well!" Hermione exclaimed as she overheard Harry's plan to get to the Dursley's. Ginny grinned, and linked her arms through Hermione.
"Ah, ah, ah," she said. "You're changing the subject 'Mione. I asked you what happened between you and my dear brother, last night that made you finally see that you're made for each other. I would like an answer........ anytime before Christmas would be fine." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"To tell you the truth Ginny, I don't know how it happened." Ginny raised her eyebrows skeptically at the Head Girl. "I'm telling the truth. One moment he was teasing me about where we were going to go after the kitchens and the next we were kissing. Then he told me where we were going,"
"And where was MY brother taking YOU in the MIDDLE of the night?" Hermione mumbled something. "What was that?"
"The library," repeated Hermione. Ginny looked at her as if the world was going to end.
"My brother took you to the library in the MIDDLE of the night?! Great first date for you then," she grinned. Hermione punched her playfully on the shoulder and they continued walking to the Room of Requirement.

"Give up Sapna," shouted Rahul, as he shot another curse at Sapna.
"Protégo!" shouted Sapna. The curse that Rahul shot at her was immediately reflected back. "Never! You'll never beat me Rahul, you should have learned that by now! Rictusempra!" The spell blasted Rahul off his feet.
Harry Ron, Hermione and Ginny, entered the Room of Requirement to see almost all the students, standing around a stage, watching two of the students duel.
"Oh not again," moaned Ginny when she saw who was on the stage. She looked around the room and spotted Luna and Neville. The others followed her as she made her way over to them.
"Hey Ginny, glad you're back," said Luna. "With Harry too. That's great."
"Yeah thanks," said Ginny quickly. "How long have they been like this?" Colin looked at his watch.
"Twenty nine minutes and fifty six seconds. Wait scratch that. Half an hour.... now." Ginny shook her head.
"That's got to be a record." Ginny suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Hermione.
"Isn't she that transfer student in your year Ginny?" she asked. Ginny nodded. "And isn't one of the other transfer students in Slytherin?"
"Yes. They can't stand each other!" Ginny exclaimed. "They're always at each others throats.
"No they're not," said a new voice from behind them. The two girls turned round to see Padma Patil from Ravenclaw.
"How do you know?" asked Ginny.
"They're my cousins. Rahul is my dad's cousin's son, and Sapna is my mum's sister's daughter. They've always been like this with each other," said Padma.
"Trying to kill each other?" asked Ginny. Padma frowned.
"In a way yes. But they both like each other, even though they'll die before they admit it."
"You, Padma," said Ginny. "Are delirious."
"Yeah, I don't think that they like each other, in the way you're thinking Padma," agreed Hermione.
"Everyone thought that about you and Ron as well," retorted Padma. "Okay. Sapna signed up for the exchange program from Jadoo Sitara immediately, and she arrived on September 1st last year. But do you remember when Rahul arrived?"
"He arrived on Halloween? What's that got to do with anything?" asked Hermione.
"Ginny, what was Sapna like when she arrived?" asked Padma.
"She was nervous, scared, and homesick quite a lot but ....."
"And when did that stop?" cut in Padma.
"After Halloween?" exclaimed Ginny, realization drawing onto her.
"Hey Ginny!" shouted Ron. "Tell your friend to call it a draw! Neither of them are going to win!"
"Listen Ron," she said. "It's pointless to stop them. Sapna can take care of herself."
Suddenly there was a bright explosion, and the two students who had been fighting were both lying on there backs, unable to move.
"Gotcha!" said Sapna, as she tried to turn onto her side. "Agh!"
"No way Saps," groaned Rahul. "I beat you!"
"The only way you would win a duel is if you cheat. Rahul is a cheater, he is cheater," taunted Sapna.
"Sapna I'm not a cheater!" shouted Rahul.
"Cheater!" she screamed, as students came up onto the stage to help them.
"If I could move, I'd have ....."
"You'd what Rahul? Admit it, you've never beat me before, you didn't beat me today and you'll never beat me. Admit it, you're a LOSER!"
"Not for long," he said as his friends carried him to the hospital wing.
"What's that supposed to mean?" shouted Sapna, as Ginny, Colin and Luna helped her up. "HEY! Come back here and fight like a man, you coward!"
"Sapna, please give it a rest," said Ginny.
"Hey Ginny, you're back. I didn't notice you."
"Well that's obvious," laughed Ginny. "You were 'busy' with Rahul."
"What are you implying?" exclaimed Sapna.
"Nothing," said Ginny innocently. "Just that you were busy fighting with Rahul."
