Chapter three: three minutes to go…

Previously:

She was used to kisses being relatively nice, she could enjoy them, Krum hadn't been too bad, and neither had Ernie MacMillan, but this something entirely different. And not in a bad way, like Cormac had been. This was something she could happily and contentedly enjoy for the rest of her life.

It was quite a sight, really, seven students all head-over-heels and in throes of passion, during a potions lesson. Although Hogwarts did seem to be a place full of surprises and strange, unnatural occurrences, this one really seemed to take the cake.

On a desk in the middle of the class room Hermione Granger could been seen snogging Harry Potter's brains out, whilst Pansy Parkinson took turns in cheering for Ronald Weasley and Blaise Zabini who were both fighting over her affection; and by doing so the three succeeding in creating quite a racket due to the number of furniture they seem to be breaking.

However, perhaps it is in the corner of the room, the back corner near the potions storeroom, that there is the most curious sight of all.

Perhaps it is curious because it isn't wanting. It doesn't demand attention, it doesn't seem forced, or to be caught hysterically midst the whirlwind of passion. It's just two people, one boy, or a young man, staring nervously, yet arrestingly, up at a girl, or a young woman, to whom which his look is full of adoration and warmth. And she, in her turn, looks down at him; her smile could never be more bright or sincere.

Perhaps what also makes it curious is because of the words he spoke to her, they were soft, yet spoken with inflexible determination. That when he spoke his eyes lighted up like a fire and proceeded to twinkle playfully as he made his suggestion. That she only had to continue smiling, and pull him up from his bended knee, for him to know her answer.

Perhaps it is because it was something that would help the break down the barricades at Hogwarts. It really was a curious event.

But the corner isn't really a safe place when you have an angry Blaise throwing furniture.

'You Prick!' Draco Malfoy yelled at Blaise whilst he hid Lavender protectively behind him. He picked up the offending stool and shook it in his best mates face, continuing with 'you could have hit her!'

'Whoa, mate whoa,' Blaise started, his hands held up in a sign of either peace or submission, 'I didn't do anything…'

'You didn't' Draco snarled menacingly at him, 'well get your head out of the sand Blaise! And the same goes for you Weasley-' Draco whipped around to address Ron. But he was gone. A look of bewilderment came across his face as he searched for the red hair.

'NO! Damnt' Blaise screamed as he noticed that both Ron and Pansy were gone. 'No, no, no, no, no!' he muttered in increasingly furious tones. Draco shot him a questioning glance. 'The weasel has got pansy' was the only reply he gave before he shot off out the door, determined to find them –there was no way he wanted him being the one to snog the life out of her.

And that left all the other students in the room with only one option. Affected by a love potion they may be, but it didn't for one moment take the humour out of the situation. So they laughed.

They laughed so much they were crippled on the floor from the pain; and it would have seemed that the four had truly descended to a state of madness when Draco cheerfully announced to both Harry and Hermione that he and Lavender were getting married. Hermione rushed to hug a euphoric Lavender as she gushed her congratulations to the girl, were as Harry and Draco settled for a gruff man hug.

It was a moment of madness, but possibly not as mad as the moment when Harry suggested they all quickly pop over to Hogsmead for a moment so they could tie the knot, which was even more Bizarre as Lavender was all for it, despite having dreamed of planning her wedding day since she was a young girl.

But perhaps it was even more mad that they thought they could do it all in 3 minutes.
