A/N Okay, I know I said I would be uploading more on a more regular basis, but honestly I have not got the inspiration to write this story at the minute. I Just can't think of what to write and I enjoy reading Dramione Fanfics more than writing them but that's because I feel I am terrible at writing.
I am terrible sorry if any of you feel like you are disappointed with this story.
Anyway, hope you like this chapter, actually think it is the longest I have written yet! I've now come up with a new way of planning my chapters so hopefully should be uploading more often instead of getting writers block... hopefully.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, or Harry Potter in general. J.K Rowling does.
Chapter 16
Due to Potions being after lunch and our 'detention' was during dinner, Harry and I managed to miss half of History of Magic due to being in the Hospital wing. However as we finished History of Magic I was starving, so managed to convince Harry to nip down to the Great Hall with me to grab something to eat before we head off down to dads classroom.
"Hermione I really don't think this is a good idea, I would rather head straight down to detention and avoid getting in more trouble!" Harry said trying to make it sound as if we are really in deep trouble for our episode today. "Oh please Harry! The Great Hall is on our way down to the dungeons, we will get there in time" I gave him a stern look while I collected my bag off the floor after our lesson. Harry gave me an exasperated look then sighed "Fine, but I get to decide what you're eating, it will be something quick and easy and you cannot complain!" We then quickly made our way down to the Great Hall where Harry quickly grabbed 4 slices of bread some peanut butter and jam and spread them both onto 2 pieces of bread. I smiled, although my childhood was not great with my mother and step father, when I managed to spend some time with my grandparents my Nan always gave me Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches. Harry then handed me my sandwich and with a quick goodbye to Ron who was giving Harry a strange look for the odd mixing, we made our way down to the dungeons.
As we walked into Dads classroom I had about half of my sandwich left, once I had sat down dad looked at me with an odd look. "Hermione what on earth are you eating?" I looked down at my sandwich then back up to dad. "Peanut Butter and Jam? Want to try some?" He gave my sandwich a sneer and a crinkle of the nose "No thanks, looks like something that would give me diabetes. Hurry up and finish it in case someone walks it." I sighed and then quickly finished it. Dad then looked to me and harry with a pretend stern look. "Now what you too did today was foolish and dangerous, you could have gotten others hurt" I smiled at him. "Yes but we didn't, we knew what we were doing and so did you. We made sure it only exploded over us and that it was too weak to harm us. So really no harm done. Now onto the topic of what I want to talk about!" Dad gave me an exasperated look but then smiled back. Just then the door opened. Luckily Harry and I had already been sitting at separate desks and we'd gotten out our charmed parchment to look like lines so no one thought all we had to do was sit there, however at that point our efforts were pointless as the only person who walked in was Draco.
"Hey guys, nice bit of work in Potions today! So it has come to my understanding that our precious Mia has something she wishes to discuss?" I rolled my eyes at him. "Yes and I was just about to begin but then we got oh so rudely interrupted. Dad I want to become and animagus, and I want Draco and Harry to become one with me. I have looked into it and I understand that it is a hard piece of magic but I think I can do it with your help."
Draco and Harry looked at me with amused looks while dad was staring off in to the distance thinking. We waiting in silence until finally he looked to me with a look of being proud yet concerned. "Mi, the spells and concentration to become an animagi are very advance. They will take up all your time with having to study them and you will need to be very precise with them as well. However even if I told you no, I have a knowing fact that you would do it behind my back anyway and I am without a doubt that you are very capable of doing it. So I agree to help you guys perform the spells however you shall be the ones to do the research into, for you to get the transitions perfect it is you that needs to know the background to it all." I smiled, jumped up and hugged my dad. "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I Promise I won't let you down dad. I will do this to make you proud" He returned the hug and then kissed the top of my forehead. "I am always proud of you sweetheart. " He then released me and looked to all three of us "You should go, I've kept you far too long and I'm sure people will be wondering where you've gotten too. I expect to see you here in a week's time with some information on becoming an animagus" I smiled and gave him one last hug and a kiss on the cheek. I then walked over to Draco gave him a high 5 then a quick hug. Harry and I then said our last goodbyes and headed up to Gryffindor tower.
Once we got to the tower, Ron was waiting up for us. "So how did the detention go?" I glanced at him, then at Harry. Harry sighed and sat on the sofa next to Ron. "It was horrible, Snape had us cleaning out cauldrons with only a tooth brush. And most of the were cover in some sort of slime!" Ron gave us both sympathy and started spouting out horrible things about my father, with that I said I was tired and wished to go to bed. They both bit be goodnight and Harry gave me a kiss on the cheek. I could see Ron scowling behind him.
27th November 1993
It's been a month since our detention and we've been managing to sneak away from Ron at least every other day to go to the library and search up on becoming animagi. Draco managed to join every now and then but normally it was just Harry and I. If Draco couldn't make it then I would copy down our notes into the diary for him to read. However today we weren't so lucky with sneaking away from Ron.
"Where the hell do you guys keep sneaking off too?" We met face to face with a red looking Ron. Truth be told Ron has been getting suspicious, but not for the right reasons. Ron has got it into his head that Harry and I have been secretly dating behind his back. Since Harry gives me a kiss on the cheek every time one of us goes to bed Ron has come to the conclusion we are dating. You're probably wondering why this would bother Ron so much and the reason is that he has a crush on me. But he doesn't have the balls to do anything about it. Now don't get me wrong I love Harry to pieces but there is no way that the two of us would date, we are too much like brother and sister for that action. And with Ron? There is no room for romance there, all I see when I look at him is a pig, a pig that takes everything for granted.
Due to Rons suspicions he has become more and more clingy, trying to get Harry away from me and not really letting us see each other whenever he is around. So as you can probably tell he is becoming more and more frustrated.
"We're in the Library Studying Ron! Just because you don't like to study doesn't mean we don't either!" Harry sat down on the sofa by the fire in the common room giving a glare to Ron.
"Well then why don't you invite me to come with you?" Ron had this innocent look on his face that seemed to say 'I would study if you asked me to' I laughed. "Because Ronald, You would open your book, look at it once then get bored and start complaining, which will make us lose concentration on what we are trying to do."
Ron glared at me. "What are you even studying for? we've not got our exams for ages! And besides all the subjects are boring and stupid anyway!" That's when Harry lost it.
"You think the subject are boring? You think that being in classes studying magical subjects are boring? Do you know how lucky you are to even go to this school? To have the ability to actually be able to study these subjects and get to live with them? Of course you don't, what am I thinking. You're a pureblood. You've been brought up with magic all around you so of course this would be boring to you. Well in case you haven't notice Ron, Hermione and I were raised by Muggles. My own relative decided that I was a freak from day one and tried to beat the freakiness out of me. They told me my parents died in a car crash and that I didn't deserve to even breath in their house. They brought their son up to be a bully who made my primary school life a living hell. I always had to play dumb so that I didn't get better grades than Dudley. I spent my childhood wishing there was somewhere else I could go, somewhere that I could finally fit it. I was beaten and abused so much I nearly died. And then I found out about Hogwarts and it was like my dream came true. I finally fitted in somewhere, I could finally perform to my full potential. So in my eyes these lessons are the most amazing thing and I want to be able to learn everything about them.
Hermione is a muggleborn Ron. There are people out there who think that she does not deserve to be in this world because she does not come from a magical family. She has also grown up being different and bullied and was relieved to find out that she was a witch to get away from the bullying. Only to come here and carry on being bullied. Who might I add was you in the first place. So when it came to lessons it was her chance to prove that she is better than everyone and what your blood is does not make a difference. She is the most powerful witch I know and there is a reason she is called the brightest witch of our age.
We both enjoy the lessons because we came from a background that was a completely different world from this. And so we want to study and prove that we do actually belong in this world. And just because you find these lessons boring does not mean that we do too. And because of your attitude towards Hermione and I this past month just because you don't like the fact that we are close means that you can kiss goodbye to copying either of mine or Hermione's notes from class. So you better get used to paying attention."
And with that a fuming Harry got up and stormed out of the portrait hole leaving behind a very bewildered Ron. "You struck a nerve there Ronald. I suggest you think about what Harry just said before you even consider talking to us again." And with that I ran out of the common room after Harry.
Again Apologies for the delay of this chapter. Let me know what you think and hopefully you guys will give me the inspiration to keep writing. Although saying that I actually enjoyed writing this chapter in the end.
Please don't forget to write a review!
