A/N- Heya guys! Sorry I haven't updated in soooooooo long. I have been kinda busy with PSR which takes up 3 hours of the day when I usually write and I have been babysitting my brothers and will be doing so for the rest of the summer. They are a handful and I haven't found time to write till now. I just bought them the song Life Is A Highway by Rascal Flats so they would be entertained. It is from the movie Cars and they really liked it and one of my brothers kept on singing "Life Is A Highway! I wanna ride it all night long!" It has been getting very annoying, so I just bought it for him. I know I am babbling like my friend Bethany now, so I will say one more thing and then back to the story!
My good friend, StarAngel613 has finished her Mr and Mrs Potter series as of today, June 30, 2006 and I highly recommend it to all! And I dedicate this chappy to her as congratulations on finishing the series that took 2 years and almost one month to complete. I am very happy for you! Let's see if I can finish this story in less than half a year! It will be the three month anniversary of the start on July 9, 2006! So leave me nice and long reviews and I will be forced to work harder at finishing this! So there will be no reviewer of the chappy.
But recognition is required. Blonde gone wild gave me the idea for this chapter, so I thought she needed some recognition.
Oh, there will be one thing I really hate in this chapter, so try to guess (hint: it's a taste)
But, now I think I owe you guys some time to read the story.
What Was A Perfect Date
Harry POV
Wow that think that Hermione did was pure brilliance! When Ron showed up again at about 11am, he was a mess. Bruises,
ranging from purple to black and blue, scrapes and cuts, and dribbles of blood covered his beaten and worn body as he
trudged to the Hospital Wing. If Lavendar had still been his girlfriend, she would have been so angry with Hermione she
probably would have cursed her senseless. Instead, she fell into fits of silent laughter with Parvati. Hermione laughed so hard
she was tickled pink, to say the least. I only snickered a little because he is my best friend after all. But the best part is that
Collin Creevey (hope I spelled it right!) got a couple of photos of Ron. When we got to breakfast the next day, I went mental
with fury. Hermione got the Daily Prophet and when she read the front page, she turned bright red and tried to hide the paper
from me.
"Mione" I said reasonably "You always let me read the paper after you, so just let me read it with you."
"Oh all right" she snapped "but you're not going to like it."
"And why…" I never finished my question, because I saw a headline that over a picture of us and then a couple of pictures of
Ron in his disgraced state the previous day proclaimed:
Grins, Birds, and Another Love Triangle
By: Rita Skeeter
World-renowned wizard Harry Potter seems to be having love troubles that have lasted since the Triwizard Tournament two
years previous to the present time. We stated in previous articles published in that time (See pages A12- A25 for a refresher
of the articles) that Harry Potter, a troubled teen at 16 now, was suffering what St Mungos doctors claim as the "Bermuda
Love Triangle". Hermione Granger, a plain but ambitious girl was falling for two very popular young men at the time,
Harry Potter and Bulgarian Quidditch player Victor Krum. She seems to have taken her two best friends, Harry Potter and
Ronald Weasley into another "Bermuda". Witnesses claim to have seen her and young Mister Potter spend more time than
normal together. But is she really falling for him? Or is she really using him to get to her other friend?
Numerous Hogwarts students have been gossiping that Miss Granger attacked Mister Weasley yesterday. According to
witnesses, she first cursed his food so he couldn't eat it, then made his school supplies beat him, then conjured up birds that
pecked and clawed at him, causing the poor Weasley to run from the Hall in obvious discomfort. What provoked the attack is
currently disclosed to the public.
This correspondent waits for more news of the attack. Let it be known that no secret will be kept quiet. You, the public, will
know the facts. For a short exclusive on Harry Potter and Hermione Granger's relationship, read page A3.
I looked at Hermione in disbelief. She had her mouth wide open with shock.
"Ron." I said slowly "me and Hermione need to talk about something. We will be back soon."
"All right." And he dug into his eggs and bacon once more.
Hermione and I walked all the way back to our room and we sat by the fire.
"What the hell was that about!" Hermione yelled, firing up at once.
"Mina. Slow down." I said looking at her a little too harshly in my opinion.
"How did you know that my mum calls me 'Mina' when I get too fired up?"
"I don't know. Maybe we are forming a telepathy connection or something. But that is not why I dragged you from breakfast. We need to read our little "exclusive" and then find out how she got all this information."
I grabbed the paper Hermione had thrown on the table and we read it together.
Hidden Feelings Revealed
By: Rita Skeeter
Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, both in the 6th year of their Hogwarts Years, also known as their "Golden Years",
have supposedly developed some more than friendly (Brotherly/Sisterly?) feelings for each other. This reporter has confirmed
rumors that young Mister Potter and Miss Granger are currently "going out". An insider that knows the two well has
confirmed that the young couple are "official". They claim that they have seen the two having some traditional dating fun.
"These two will go on a date later this evening" our insider boasted. This reporter will surely be at the scene later this
evening and report what the two will be doing.
"How the hell did she find out that we are going on a date tonight?" I yelled.
"Harry? What does she mean that we are 'going on a date later this evening'?" Hermione said looking a little worried.
"Why did she have to spoil it?" I yelled, outraged, then I softened up "I was going to ask you if you would go to Hogsmeade tonight, but since she says that she will report the date, you probably…"
My words died in my throat, because Hermione had started to kiss me tentatively, but I drew her closer to me and the kiss grew
more passionate, she was straddled on my hips and running her hands through my hair. I love it when she plays with my hair
like that. I was running my hands under her shirt up her bare back. Oh her skin is so soft and silky smooth. We were both
kissing each other desperately, and then I tentatively touched my tongue at her lips and she allowed me entry. Oh, her mouth
tastes so good, so wet and warm with a slight taste of strawberries.
A short time later, someone coughed behind us, and we broke the kiss immediately. Hermione immediately blushed very
brightly because Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were standing slightly in the shadows of the room beside
the door.
"Professors." I said quickly "I…we…were…"
"It is quite understandable Harry." Dumbledore said with a kind smile.
"I am sorry Professors." Hermione said quickly, "we were just feeling…"
"Hermione, like I said before, it is understandable. You are at that age where you can't always control your desires of love. But
we are here for publicity reasons. Both Professor McGonagall and I saw both articles about you two. We are deeply ashamed
that Rita would sink that low once again to get a story. But, we need to know if you two are all right. If there is anything we can
do, let us know."
"Um, Professors. Would it be fine if we took the day off? Like we do our work in here? We would probably be hounded by
students and this early in the day, we probably wouldn't get any work done."
"That is fine. I will arrange to have your work brought up here." Dumbledore said with a smile, "but are you going on your
date?"
"Only if Hermione wants to." I said with a straight and definite face.
"I would really like to." Hermione said clearly.
"Well, that is settled then. If anything happens, let us know." McGonagall said, and then she and Dumbledore left.
About 6pm that evening
We spent the day in our room doing school work Dobby has brought for us and kissing when we were bored.
And now I am waiting for Hermione to come out of her room. I'm wearing A light blue and white stripped long sleeved shirt
with some slightly baggy jeans. I am carrying a black leather jacket, which is slung over my back. I turned to stare at the fire for
a minute. Then Hermione appeared. She was wearing the cutest hip-hugger Dark Blue Jeans which have small rips and holes in
strategically placed areas. She was wearing a slightly off-white tank top that had tied straps and a cute sequins and swirls pattern
at the bottom. I think she bought the shirt when she went to Paris for vacation. The shoes were white heels that were short and
they wrapped around her ankles. She was holding a small white purse that all girls wear as accessories.
We went to the village in a Thestral-drawn carriage. We had dinner at a brand new café called The Magical Eats Café. It had
very nice food and there was a live band every night. This was the Grand Opening, so they were having a lot of famous singers
come. The Weird Sisters were singing while we were eating (we had the best seats in the house because of me) and then when
we started dancing, Wizarding Wireless Network singing sensation Celestina Warbeck came on and sang some slow (and
sometimes jazzy) tunes. Right now, she was singing a new song from her CD Love Music, Perfection called Love Is All Mine
To Keep. I'm not a sucker for Celestina, but Hermione is happy, so I am happy. We got so close then started a slow kiss and
cameras started flashing everywhere, and we ran out of the café with the crew following. After running for 5 blocks, we hid in a
small alley, and then we came out after the cameras ran past us. Then things went wrong.
"Why did you run Potter? Too scared of the cameras on your first date with that dirty creature you call your girlfriend?" said a
voice that really got me ticked. Draco Malfoy and the slut he called his girlfriend, Pansy Parkinson, came walking out of the
shadows as we left the alley.
"Why don't you get back to your date with that slut you call your girlfriend?" I said, automatically pulling Hermione behind me.
She whispered to me that we should go, but I didn't move. He insulted my Mione. This is revenge that is needed.
"Don't you call her that Potty!" Malfoy said, livid.
"I believe I just did." I said with a smirk, pulling out my wand, but too late.
"Seclutiono Paralytis!" Malfoy screamed, pointing his wand directly at my stomach.
Hermione POV
Harry was blasted into the air, hung like a puppet for a few seconds, then fell to the ground, retching everything he had eaten
from God only knows how long ago and gagging, slowly turning pink, then purple.
I ran at Malfoy and punched him hard in the stomach. He flew into the air and fell hard on his back; cracking his head open and
he started to bleed. He lost consciousness. Pansy screamed and ran to his side, but was blasted into the air and the same thing
happened to her. I looked at my hand in shock. I think I just performed wandless magic.
I ran back to Harry who had stopped retching, but was loosing consciousness quickly. I screamed out for help, but nobody
came. I picked up his limp body and ran to the castle as fast as I could. When I got to the Hospital Wing, I quickly explained
what happened. When they finished fixing Harry, I sat down in a chair and watched him sleep. I fell asleep after a while, but I
don't know when.
A/N- Heya guys! I hope you liked it! Nothing really to say.
Love you all!
