Harry Potter Alternate Universe: Year Three
Harry Potter Alternate Universe: Year Three
A/N: Okay, some of you were wondering about Wood, he and Hermione had that little fight about Harry back in the second. Thought that might be a good little reminder. And I know how perfect it would be to just have Hermione jump into Harry's arm, professing her love for him but then the story would be over too soon. I also would like to know what you think of the other couples: Steph/Luke, Becca/Ron. And I promise that Fred will tell Hermione, in not so many words, that she's in love with Harry but...in the next story. Sorry. Enjoy!
"Harry?" A female voice asked, Harry opened his eyes before groaning as the pain shot through his body. He squinted up through the bright light and saw blurry figures. "Here." She placed his glasses on his face and he could see better. He saw Hermione sitting next to him, Ron was standing grimly holding a bundle in his arms, while the twins and a couple other Gryffindors surrounded Harry's bed. "How are you feeling?"
"Like I fell fifty feet. Where's Beccs?" Harry asked, Hermione looked over at a bed with curtains drawn around it.
"I'm right here." Becca said as she and Ron came forward.
"I've got some bad news mate." Ron said, Harry looked over to him. "Your broom got blown off course and it hit the Whomping Willow." Ron opened the cloak and Harry picked up a third of his broom.
"The match, who won?" Harry asked, they all went silent. "Who won?"
"We don't blame you at all." Fred said, Harry narrowed his eyes at him. "Hufflepuff. Cedric got the snitch before he realized that you had fallen off your broom due to Dementors. Once he found out, he went to Madam Hooch and demanded a rematch because the game wasn't played fair. But they said it was fairly caught so they won. Not that Cedric was happy about it mind you."
Luke and Steph sat outside, the sun was out again. They had their bags on top of the table, a bunch of other students were out and talking excitedly about the match.
"I don't want to do this." Steph said closing her book and stuffing it into her bag, Luke smiled and put his books in his bag.
"I was wondering when you'd say that. I'd given up way before." Luke said turning to face her.
"And what were you doing while I was studying?" Steph asked turning to face him.
"I was studying you." Luke said with a smile, Steph smiled sweetly at him before leaning over and kissing him on the lips.
Later that night, Becca, Luke, Harry and Hermione snuck out and into an empty classroom to meet up with Draco.
"Great Quidditch match Harry." Luke said crossing his arms over his chest with a smirk, Harry shook his head.
"Please, Harry ends up in the hospital wing less times than Ron complains about Crookshanks." Becca said with a smile, Draco frowned.
"How long has Ron had Scabbers?" Draco asked gaining everyone's attention.
"About twelve years now. He was Percy's before. Why?" Becca asked, Draco's eyes widened before looking back at them.
"Oh, no reason. I just don't remember seeing him around." Draco said before glancing at Luke, letting him know they needed to talk.
"Look its about midnight and I'd hate to get Becca into more trouble, so night." Luke said as he and Draco walked out the door. The other three sighed before walking out too, unaware of a bird watching from outside.
Harry was looking for Lupin, to ask for some extra lessons when he spotted him standing at the other side of the lake.
"Harry, nice to see you." Lupin said, Harry walked over to them.
"Sorry to interrupt." Harry said, Lupin smiled.
"No problem at all, Harry. What can I do for you?" Lupin asked, Harry walked the rest of the way over to him.
"Well, I wanted to ask if you would teach me the spell to keep away Dementors. I want to be prepared next time." Harry asked, Lupin nodded.
"Its not an easy spell." Lupin asked as Harry took the seat next to him. "It takes patience and concentration." Harry nodded. "I'll give you the lessons but not now…I've fallen ill."
"I do know about your furry little problem." Harry smiled, Lupin smiled back and shook his head. It was silent for a while as they stared across the lake. They smiled as they saw the tall red head get squirted by one of the tentacles from the squid.
"OI!" The boy shouted as the two girls laughed.
"Looks as if the squid likes Mr. Weasley." Lupin remarked as they all laughed. Harry smiled and shook his head lightly.
"Yeah, he does that every time Ron walks by the lake." Harry said as he watched as Ron laid down on his stomach under the tree and started talking with Becca. Becca had her feet in the water but was still looking at him while Hermione was reading with her back against the tree. Luke came up and grabbed her book, Harry smiled as Luke plunked down next to her and started reading with her.
Hermione was sitting in the Common Room getting ready to go to breakfast when Fred stopped her.
"You wanted to talk to me?" Fred asked, she nodded.
"I'm going to stay with Sirius. Now you can stop worrying your pretty little head about me." Hermione said with a small smile, Fred smirked.
"SO you've finally admitted it, you think I'm pretty." Fred said loud enough to catch a couple people's attention, Hermione narrowed her eyes.
"Yeah, pretty annoying. Let me know if that rash doesn't go away in a couple days." Hermione said with a smirk before walking off, Fred went a little red.
"Round one goes to the bookworm." Fred muttered with a small smile before walking off.
