I was suffering from theeeee worst case of writers block on this chapter, so review and tell me what you think?
Anyway, here it is.
'That's not funny 'Gin' Hermione dimly answered as she pulled a book out of her bag, perched on the edge of her bed and began to read.
'Hermione… really I'm not joking' she tried to beg as she watched her friend ignore her, slowly she felt her temper begin to rise, 'HERMIONE!' Ginny screamed.
'What?' Hermione exclaimed as she turned herself towards the direction both Ginny and the window were in. there, outside of the window, sat Amato.
'Oh, erm… How the bloody hell did it find out where I stay?' bellowed Hermione as she placed her book on the bedside table.
'How would I know? But I'm tired so I'm getting ready for bed Mione. First day tomorrow so I think you should be doing the same' Ginny emphasised.
Obviously the Griffin was becoming impatient as tapping could now be heard throughout the room.
'I'm opening the window to see if it'll shut up, if I die though Mione, your explaining what happened to mum for me' she joked as she turned towards the window and slowly began to open it. Once again the Griffins patience began to slip as it was clearly finding Ginny's method of opening the window to time consuming. Using all of the power in its head, it pushed forwards, knocking Ginny to the floor in the process of getting into the room.
'WHAT THE HELL!' Ginny screeched as she quickly stood up, turning to glare at Hermione.
'I'm so sorry Ginny, I… I didn't think he'd do that…' Hermione muttered.
'Amato, out' she firmly demanded. The Griffin stared back at her challengingly. Being the stubborn girl she was, Hermione pushed at him hoping he'd get the point and leave. She used all of her strength to lean against the creature but to no avail as he remained in the same place. Letting out a loud huff Hermione eyed it angrily.
Ginny brushed down her clothes before walking towards the door. Turning around she eyed the Griffin before turning back to Hermione. 'we should go and get ready, maybe by the time we're done it will have got the point and left' Ginny stated, opening the door and making her way to the girls bathroom with Hermione in tow.
'I don't understand how it knows where my room is, I think it might have left by now though' Hermione whispered to her friend. Ginny nodded.
'I hope so' she tried to say with a mouth full of toothpaste, resulting in spitting it all over Hermione. 'I'm so sorry!' she apologised, but once again spat on her friend.
'Right, that's it!' Hermione playfully threatened, scooping up a handful of water and throwing it at her friend.
'You've started something now Mione, sure you can handle it?' Ginny teased, having now spat out her toothpaste.
For the next twenty minutes the two girls engaged themselves in a water fight, grabbing any liquids lying around the room and squirting it at each other creating a mass of bubbles and a flooded floor.
'WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THAT BODYWASH COST ALL OF MY MONTHLY ALLOWANCE!' came the loud screeching of Lavender Brown. Ginny and Hermione quickly exchanged glances before grabbing the shower head and spraying the infuriated girl stood in the doorway.
'Lighten up Lav, its just a bit of fun. I'll even replace the body wash if it means so bloody much to you' Hermione assured.
'I. Am. Going. To. Murder. You. BOTH!' Lavender bellowed, running towards the girls with her hands stretched out in front of her.
'Oh shut the fuck up!' Ginny exclaimed in Lavenders direction before turning to Hermione, 'I think she's actually gunna kill us Mione?'.
'INCARCEROUS!' Hermione shouted, as she pointed her wand at the delusional girl who was now right in front of them. Instantly, ropes twisted around her body, forcing her to stop and drop to the floor.
'HERMIONE! Untie me right now I swear to Merlin!' Lavender screamed angrily from her position on the floor.
'Looks like someone needs a timeout!' Hermione stated, sending Ginny into a laughing fit.
'I think we'll leave you here too think about your actions young lady' Hermione grinned as she grabbed Ginny's wrist and dragged her out.
oooooooo
As soon as they were back in the safety of there dorm, Hermione and Ginny dropped to there beds in hysterics.
'Oh my God Mione, I didn't think you had something like that in you! That was definitely the best way to start a term' Ginny chuckled as a fresh wave of laughter erupted from her.
'She just needs to loosen up a bit, it was body wash for Merlin's sake' Hermione giggled.
As her laughter began to stop, Hermione got up and pulled a hoody from the trunk placed in front of her bed. Slipping it over her head, she walked back over to her bed and got underneath the covers. It was a cold September night, especially with the window open. Remembering the reason for the window being open she looked around to see the Griffin lay by the side of her bed. Sighing to herself she snuggled up closer to the warmth the bed was offering, turning her head to look in Ginny's direction. She had stopped laughing and followed Hermione's actions as she was also under her covers with a thick hoody on.
'Looks like we've got a bunker for the night' Hermione mumbled to Ginny.
'Still here huh?' she asked, Hermione nodded. 'Hey Mione?'
'Yeh?' the brunette asked.
'Ever have one of those nights when your that tired its too tiring to fall asleep?' Ginny puzzled, the drowsy look in her eyes showed just how tired she really was.
'I guess' she answered, 'today's one of those days' Hermione added.
Turning away from each other the girls both lay on there back. Hermione turned of the lights, allowing the moon to be there source of lighting. Thoughts swirled around both of there heads, each different to the others.
Ginny sat pondering how long it would take Harry to ask her to be his girlfriend. She had liked him for God knows how long but he seemed oblivious to this fact. Voldermort was obviously more important to him. She scowled at herself for even thinking that, obviously Voldermort occupied his thoughts, he had to defeat him to save the wizarding world…
Hermione was still trying to figure out who her secret admirer was. Never before had she felt so wanted. Harry, Ron and Ginny obviously made her feel wanted as a friend, but she'd never been pursued before. Well that was a lie, Cormac McLaggen had sent her cheesy notes while she tried to revise in the library. But he was just a prat who wanted to get into everyone's knickers, especially the only girl of the golden trio. He'd been considered a hero if he'd managed that. They consisted of things such as 'Do you have a map? Cause I keep getting lost in your eyes', 'Is your father a thief? Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes' and they were just the ones she could remember. They had made her want to vomit. To try and show him that she wasn't interested, she charmed them to fly over to him and set on fire. Unfortunately he didn't get the point until she used her very own hex on him. Lets just say he wouldn't be getting in anyone else's knickers for a long time…
Letting out a loud sigh she turned towards Amato who was staring at her with wide eyes. Closing her eyes she yawned weakly as she was once again drowned in her thoughts. I need to find out who he is… she decided.
At the sound of a soft melodic singing Hermione opened her eyes, Amato had rested his head next to hers and was singing in a way which sounded like it belonged to an angel. As she felt her cheeks rise in a smile she drifted into the depths of unconsciousness. Crookshanks nestled further into the back of her legs as he fell into a deep slumber, followed by a happy Ginny.
oooooooo
Opening her eyes she realised it was morning. Hermione stretched her arms above her head as a smile crept onto her features. She felt well rested, which she'd been failing to do lately. Pushing back the covers and sitting on the edge of her bed she felt Crookshank's rub his head into her back. Awfully happy for a cat which normally despises mornings she thought to herself. Ginny snored lightly, catching Hermione's attention.
'Gin, time to get up' She softly said to her friend as she made her way over to her bed and nudged her shoulder gently. When she showed no signs of waking up, Hermione decided to take revenge for all of the times Ginny had attacked her in her sleep.
'WAKE UP GIN GIN!' She screeched as she threw herself onto the sleeping girl.
When she felt the vibration of laughing on her back she turned to face Ginny.
'How do you find that funny? It annoys me when people do that' Hermione puzzled.
'It normally would bother me, but I'm in a really good mood and I've just had the best nights sleep since… well I don't ever remember having as good a sleep as that!' Ginny replied. She was grinning from ear to ear. 'I think it was the Griffin, it sang! It was so beautiful, the next time it breaks into my room I promise I wont complain as long as it sings to me again' Ginny giggled. Hermione laughed before grabbing her things for the first day of school.
'I agree, I'm gunna go shower, ill meet you at breakfast?' when Ginny nodded she made her way to the bathroom, only to see a sleeping Lavender pressed against the floor. Letting out a low giggle to herself she levitated her out onto one of the common room chairs and untied her. When she didn't stir Hermione went back into the bathroom and began her morning ritual.
oooooooo
With a smile plastered across her face, Hermione gracefully made her way towards the Great Hall, only to be stopped by a slightly sweaty and out of breath Hagrid.
'Mione, e's gone! Is chains broken an I cant find him anywhere!' Hagrid wailed. Hermione smiled and shook her head before explaining what happened the night before. When she was finished Hagrid's chuckle was echoing through the hall.
'seems e's chosen yah! E'll look after yah now Mione, don't you worry 'bowt that!' he teased, 'I'm guessing e's made himself a nest somewhere close to your window…' Hagrid began as his mutter trailed of into ramblings she couldn't quite understand. 'Oh and Mione, the singings very special ya'know. Its very rare that they do it, coming from his heart though. Singing means there in love.' Hagrid stated, walking away with a smile as he continued to mutter to himself.
oooooooo
After she'd filled Ginny in with what Hagrid had said, she merrily pilled her plate with all sorts of food, earning her puzzling looks from her friends.
'I think Hermione's caught Ron's appetite' Harry joked
'Hey!' Ron moaned through a mouthful of food, causing there table to all start laughing. Through there laughter, nobody noticed a pair of grey eyes looking in there direction. A glint of happiness shone in them as he watched Hermione.
oooooooo
'Hello? Anyone in there?' Blaise Zabini said to Draco. He had noticed that he was staring at Granger, again, 'MALFOY!' he shouted, snapping his friend out of his thoughts.
'What' Draco asked in a bitter tone, turning to give his best friend his signature glare.
'You've not ate yet, and I don't think you want everyone to notice that your attention is pointed towards Granger. That would ruin the whole secrecy thing don't yah think?' His friend whispered in his ear. Secretly Draco was thankful he had been reminded of this, but annoyance was overwhelming his happiness. He regretted the fact that Blaise knew about his secret infatuation. He had noticed him staring at Granger towards the end of last year, so decided to corner him and find out what he needed to know. When he'd threatened to tell the other Slytherin's he had reluctantly told him. They'd been best friends since they were little so he had no worries that he would tell anyone, it was the fact that he always pointed it out as if he should be ashamed.
'Right yeh, erm what lesson do we have first?' Draco asked as he turned his attention to his food. When Blaise started to drone on about some topic they should be taught this year in God knows what lesson he decided that was the perfect opportunity to indulge in his Hermione filled thoughts.
oooooooo
'So what lesson do you all have first?' Ginny asked her friends when the laughter had died down. Owls flew around there heads delivering the morning post to everyone.
'Ancient Runes' Hermione answered as three letters were dropped in front of her. One was from her mother, probably telling me how they've made plans this Christmas and I should stay at school as usual she thought cruelly, the second was a note from Professor McGonagall informing her that she would be doing rounds tonight with her 'Rounds Partner'. I wonder who I'm paired with… The third was another fancy envelope and she knew who it was from before she'd even opened it, on the front in a fancy black font was an 'x'. Looking up she noticed that her friends were all engulfed in there own letters, so she quickly tore it open. When she found it was a blank page she stared at it in bewilderment. Why would they send her a blank letter? Surely that was stupid she began to think before Ginny interrupted her thoughts,
'Its invisible ink, when you say Aparecium it will reveal it so that only you can see it' mumbling a weak 'thank you' she tapped the letter with her wand as she whispered 'Aparecium'. slowly, letters began to form on the page. Small neat black letters swam around the page until they found there place. Quickly she set to reading it.
'Morning Hermy, you look like you're in a good mood today! I heard about what happened with Lavender, its almost tops the whole shrinking Cormac McLaggen's private parts, almost.' At this she let out a girlish giggle before she continued, 'The whole schools talking about it, even the teachers! I don't blame you and Ginny though, I used to have water fights with my house elf's when I was little, when my parents shouted at me for causing a mess I never thought about tying them up and leaving them on the bathroom floor, but I guess I'm not as quick thinking as you! You look beautiful this morning, I love how every time you smile your eyes shine in response.' Hermione shook her head, she was far from beautiful, 'Your shaking your head, I just know you are! The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
I wanted to tell you that I spoke to Dumbledore, he's offering to help me. I just want you to know… When you find out who I am you may not like it, but I am not the person you think I am and I just want you to be willing to accept me for me.
Love hath made thee a tame snake.
Have a good day my love, x'
'Why'd you look so happy Mione?' Ron questioned as she finished reading the letter. Her smile, if possible, had grown.
'Oh, so I cant be happy Ron? Ill just remember to be miserable for you next time' Hermione said with a smile as she got up and skipped out of the Great Hall.
oooooooo
'What did you do?' Blaise whispered in Draco's ear, gesturing in the direction of the skipping Gryffindor.
'Wrote her a little morning note before you came down here. She likes Shakespeare, so I added a bit of that' He answered. Blaise stared at his love struck friend.
'wow, finally found someone who shares your love for the muggle poet and play writer guy aye?' Blaise mocked.
'Yes actually. You should read them sometime, put that big head of yours to use!' Draco said, hitting his friend across the back of the head as he stood and made his way from the Hall.
oooooooo
'What did I do?' Ron murmured to Harry who shrugged his shoulders.
'No idea. Come on, lessons start in five minutes' Harry groaned as he pulled his bag over his shoulder, followed quickly by Ron. Waving bye to Ginny they headed towards Ancient Runes. Another gruelling year with the Slytherin's was pure torture in Harry and Ron's eyes.
