Chapter Three - No Food At Snape's
Ron was not having a pleasant day.
First of all he walked willingly into his enemy's home searching for a hideout. Something no Wealsey would ever like to openly admit to anyone.
Secondly there was no food in said enemy's small, grubby house.
And the tip of the iceberg was that their was no food in Snape's sodding house! And Ron was starving. He was beyond hungry. He was ravenous.
And Harry thought it was the funniest thing in the world.
"Ugh! How come there's no food here?!" Ron wailed for the fifth time as he searched the cabinets yet again for food he knew wasn't there. But he still felt the need to look. It was like the nonexistent food was calling to him.
Harry burst out laughing again. "Ron, mate, if it wasn't there the first time it wont be there now!"
Ron slammed the cabinet over the oven shut and walked back to his set next to Harry at Snape's kitchen table. The taller boy slumped over the table and picked up the pen he was using to beat Harry at in tic-tack-toe. As soon as his pen hit the piece of old essay the door of the kitchen burst open and Hermione ran in with Neville not far behind.
"Harry," she breathed breathlessly. "Harry, I think we found something to help you!"
"Help me with what?" Harry asked, face covered in confusion.
"The Prophecy!" Neville said excitedly, jumping up and down.
"What the he-"
"Here! Take this!" Hermione said, shoving an old, dust book at her friend. Looking at the book with interest Harry scanned the pages Hermione told him to.
After a moments silents Ron asked what was going on.
Hermione explained about the ancient binding ritual that takes two people and makes them twins.
"So, what your saying," Ron said slowly. "Is that one of us is going to bind to Harry to make him stronger for the final battle?"
"Yes." Hermione said firmly with a nod.
"What if the twin dies?"
"Well... then... I don't know..."
"Alert the presses Hermione Granger doesn't know something!"
"Oh, shut up Ronald!" Hermione yelled, hitting the back of his head. Ron let out a silent 'ow'
"Well, it doesn't matter what would happen because we're not going to do it!" Harry said slowly looking from Neville to Ron then lastly at Hermione. "We're not doing it. No matter what."
Hermione opened her mouth to protest. Harry silents her with a deathly glare. "I'm going to bed." He said, getting up.
"Good night, Harry." Neville said taking the shorter boys seat.
After Harry left Ron got up and searched the cabinets again. Muttering about food and stupid best friends the whole time.
A/N: Oh, gosh, I'm soooo sorry about how late this is! Nearly four whole days! I'm so sorry! And it's not even that long. Or that great... anyway, next chapter there'll be some wonderful Harry/Ginny stuff! Yay!
I'd like to say that if I get anymore flames saying that I should take this out of the Harry/Hermione section I'll scream! This may not be a HP/HG story but it IS a story where the main characters are Harry and Hermione and it does have romance. So it BELONGS WERE IT IS! Okay? Okay:)
