Chapter 3: Owl Post
"Shall I escort you Mademoiselle," he said using his good French accent.
Wow, she thought, that makes him sound sooo sexy. But getting over her very girly thoughts she said, "You shall."
Hermione gratefully took Harry's arm and together the two best friends skipped to the great hall for breakfast, without even thinking of what people said as they passed by.
"What the hell are they skipping for?"
"I didn't know Harry had a girlfriend."
"The Harry Potter fan club isn't going to be happy about this."
"Harry and Hermione? About time!"
"You go girl!"
"I didn't know Harry was gay!"
And a few wolf whistles were passed as well.
They finally made it to the great hall and as they are skipping to their table a foot came out from the Slytherin table and tripped them. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as Hermione fell to the ground. Harry on the other hand had great balance skills, from playing Quiditch for so many years, so he caught himself. But Hermione was not so lucky, she landed right on her face, in front of everyone.
The entire Slytherin table erupted in laughter, while the rest of the great hall was suppressing the urge to laugh seeing as how that was a really mean thing to do, but it was also pretty funny as well. Hermione felt her face turn beat red as Harry helped her up off the floor.
"Oh terribly sorry," came a voice from behind, "damn muddbloods always seem to skip my line of vision." At this point Harry didn't have to turn around to see who it was, for he knew all too well that it was Draco Malfoy. Harry could feel the anger rising in him and all he wanted to do at that one moment was punch him right in the face.
"That all you got Malfoy?" asked Harry taking out his wand. But right before he could hex Malfoy into the next century Hermione's hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't Harry," she whispered into his ear, "he's not worth it."
After instantly melting at her touch he gave into her request and put his wand back in his pocket and they walked back to the Griffindor table. Harry sat in front of Ron and Hermione sat next to him, in front of Ginny.
Ginny was the first to speak, "I wish I had your self control I personally would've kicked him wear it hurts!" Ron started to choke on his pumpkin juice, at the shock of what his sister had said.
Before he had time to comment on his sister's statement, the mail arrived. Soon the ceiling was almost completely covered with owls. Delivering all sorts of things: letters, The Daily Prophet, and packages.
Ginny looked hopefully at the, what seemed like, thousands on owls hoping for at least news about the 'evil' scheme to get Hermione and Harry together. A few moments later she spotted a barn owl, with a brown package in its talons grasp. It started to descend in her general direction, so she braced herself to be ready catch the package it was carrying. Sure enough the owl dropped the package perfectly into her hands.
"What's that?" Hermione asked.
"Oh nothing, just something from Fred and George. Probably something that isn't too safe to open," Ginny half lied, "so I think I'll take this up to the dormitory to check it out." And with that she stood up and headed for her dormitory.
