Change of POV
Sixteen Candles
Chapter 2: Question 8
Hermione POV
I was in History of Magic going through the quiz Lavender had given me.
Question 6: Have you ever seen it before?
Well, once in when I walked in on my older brother in the shower, but I wasn't going to put that. I scribbled down 'no' and went onto the next question.
Question 7: Have you ever done it before?
'I don't think so'
Question 8: If you answered 'I don't think so' for question 7, then if you could with anybody, whom would you do it with? Common, your name isn't on this so nobody will know.
Well that was a bit obvious on what the answer was. I looked up and saw the teacher had fallen asleep behind his desk. I then slowly turned my head back behind my shoulder to look at the guy that haunted my dreams. I was expecting him to be off in a conversation somewhere but when I looked back, his emerald eyes were staring right back into mine.
OPPS! I turned my head back around, but not before rubbing the side of my head on my shoulder so it didn't seem like I was intentionally staring at him. I bent over the piece of paper so no one else would read it as I wrote the name with my quill.
'Harry Potter'
I finished the paper and folded it back up. Harry was sitting directly behind me but Lavender was behind me and to my right. I put the paper in my hand and stretched my arms up and back and dropped the paper directly behind me. I leaned my head back and listened as I heard a foot step on the paper and drag it back towards the desk.
Harry POV
Lavender was sleeping next to me and no one else was paying attention to the girl so I picked the small piece of paper up and scanned up and down it. When I got to Question 8 I knew it would totally be me. Hermione had been staring at me for the past month now, it was actually really cute and all.
The bell rang and I got up and headed down to the Quidditch pitch. Once there I saw that it was only Ron and I in the locker room. I threw my bag down as Ron mumbled "Hey."
I opened my locker and pulled some practice robes on. "Hey Ron." I broke the silence.
"Yeah?"
"What do you think about Hermione Granger?" I asked as I began to change.
"She in our year and our house right?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, but what do you think about her?" I repeated.
"I don't."
"She keeps staring at me."
"And so does every other girl in this school. But you shouldn't waste your time thinking about her mate, you've gotten Cho. Now she's hot." Ron pointed out.
"And half the time she's drunk." I snapped.
"What can I say, the girl likes to party." Ron admitted.
"Well what if I don't want a girl who parties anymore?" I asked.
"Harry, common mate, listen to the words you are saying." Ron said. I ignored it grabbed my broom as I made my way out to the Quidditch pitch.
Hermione POV
"So you don't have it?" I snapped.
"No Hermione I don't have it, you didn't put your name on it or anything did you?" Lavender asked.
"No, it was too embarrassing." I admitted.
"Why? What did you write down?" Lavender pestered.
"Well, you know question 8, on who you could do it with if you ever could right?" I explained.
"Yeah, whom did you write down?" Lavender questioned me.
I looked down and took a liking to my shoes. "Harry Potter." I mumbled.
"HARRY POTTER!" Lavender hollered.
"Not so loud now Lavender, besides, he's got her." I said motioning to Cho Chang who had just walked by with a bunch of her Ravenclaw friends.
"Well then move on. He's like the most popular kid in school. And Cho, well she's hot stuff babe. Every guy would kill to have a girl like her." Lavender went on.
"Honestly, in my opinion, I think she stuffs her bra." I snapped.
"Don't be jealous Hermione."
"But how can I not be, the prettiest guy in the whole castle is dating the number one bimbo." I snickered.
"She's pretty, she's popular and she has the whole entire school just wrapped around her finger." Lavender pointed out. "Common, let's go back to the common room before dinner."
I followed her up Gryffindor tower and said the password to the fat lady ("Devil Snare") and sat down in two empty chairs in the common room.
I looked out the window and down at the Quidditch pitch. Outside I saw little red dots fly around on their brooms. I looked closer and could make out whom each player was. I was Harry's best friend Ron fly around the three golden hoops. I saw the chasers, the beaters, and then of course Harry.
Was it so cruel for the guy of my dreams to go out with the one person I hate? Yes, yes it was, there was no other word for it. I was screwed for life. Every time I am going to like someone they will be taken. I am cursed in love and in life. I can't win in anything I do. And life only got worse when the geek walked in.
"Look, I gotta go, talk to you later." Lavender said as she grabbed her bag, checked the time, and walked out of the Gryffindor common room.
There are some things that a girl like me can put up with, but when a complete geek is flirting with me, I don't think so. Neville Longbottom came up and sat down next to me on the couch. He then had the nerve to put his arm around the back of my chair. What a Loser!
"What's up?" he broke the silence.
"Nothing." I snapped at him.
"Hey don't get all snappy at me. I only was trying to make a conversation with you." Neville said moving closer to me.
"I don't think so." I said actually looking at him this time. I then went back to the window and continued watching Harry fly around on his broom. Why does he have to be so gorgeous?
"Hey, what did I do wrong? I mean is there anything wrong about this? I mean what's wrong with a boy like me to want to start a relationship with a girl like yourself." Neville went on.
I looked back over at Neville. "Look, I know this sounds stupid but I am kind of saving myself for someone. So if you don't mind." I stood up and grabbed my bag. "I should really get ready for the dance tonight."
And with that I ran up my dormitories with my bag, still thinking about how Harry looked in his robes. I let out a deep breath as I closed the door behind me. I threw my bag on the corner by my bed and went over to my mirror. I looked at my reflection in the mirror.
Was I supposed to see a change? I mean people say that once you hit your sixteenth birthday, you change. Maybe it isn't something that happens overnight though. Maybe it will be throughout this entire year of my life. Oh what a horrible thought. Well now that I do look at myself, I do notice that my pours aren't as big as they were. My hair looks straighter if it is possible. What was I suppose to look for? Bigger breast? Nope, they're the same 'C' cup.
Life sucks!
Okay, now to all of my reviewers...
sweetnsxy: Thank you for the compliment. I must say that the 'I'm so talented' has hit an all time high this year. Thanks again.
Coolfighter16: gasp How can you of not heard of Sixteen Candles? I mean it is a classic, almost as classic as the Breakfast Club. Well I think that maybe when the story is finished you will be inspired to go see the movie. I must say it is probably funnier because we don't have the parents or grandparents in this version.
HelloKitty14: I know I hate the Harry and Cho pairing but trust me, you've probably seen the movie and know what's going to happen to her.
Mars Cutie: I swear, a girl can only do so much with her summer vacation. Thanks for the review!
demonic angel23: Thank you very much, sometimes I even amaze myself at what people will say at my work. Thanks for the review and keep reading please!
evilwitch111: I will write more. I've seen this movie about a million billion times and I think I got an idea for this the 14th time watching it. I guess it didn't leave my head until now.
DisFordiana77: No Way! Ron is like the cool yet show offy Quidditch player. I'm sorry to hear that you don't really like Harry/Hermione stories (although they are the greatest stories known to mankind), I sort of can deal with the fact that you like Draco/Hermione although they have one hundred percent chance at not going out. Anyways please continue reading, it will get better I promise.
FairyWings101: Well, I am thankful you are now reading everything that comes out of my head, except my O.C. fic but I can understand if you don't like the show (even though it is the greatest T.V. show out there now a days) thanks for the review! ttyl.
rodrigo: Do I always have great work. It is amazing to find a person like myself who loves the O.C. and Harry Potter. Or maybe you've never seen the show and are just reading it because I write it. That would be pretty cool. But thanks again for everything!
Tamar-Shakira: HEY! Long time no review. Well I hoped you like the ending of The Price of Love, I may have missed your review. I got too many of them and just started deleting them. Although I hope your reading the sequel (Like Father, Like Daughter). Anyways, I hope to be hearing from you again soon!
Ix3Siri: It is interesting isn't? I mean I never came across a Harry Potter version of Sixteen Candles and decided that now would be the ideal moment to start one. I'll look it up but I am pretty sure I won't find any others. Thanks!
Okay, now that I have given you two GREAT chapters, it is now time for you to return the favor and give me GREAT reviews. The button below is your friend.
