Own nothing :( saved Hedwig! :D
"So let me get this straight," Harry started, confusion evident in his voice, "Hermionie, the friend we've known for almost 10 years, that tells us everything... is an alien from a dead planet in some other galaxy?"
"It seems so, yeah." the Doctor responded, sending the girl beside him a small smile. "She must've been really, really young when it happened, maybe not even born." He shrugged. He honestly hadn't known about this little ball of light until now, or even how she managed her way to Earth.
Hermionie got up, and called for Winky, a house elf she had tried in vain to help. She told the elf to go get Hedwig, because she had an important message to send.
"Hermionie, where are you sending her?" Harry asked.
"To find my mum and dad." she replied simply, summoning a quill and piece of parchment. Scribbling a quick note, she charmed the paper and tied it to the newly-arrived Hedwig. "Take your time, and be safe. But make completely sure they write a suitable letter." she told the owl urgently, sending it off on it's long journey.
"Mionie, they don't remember who you are, remember?" Ron reminded the girl.
"Why do you think I'm called the "Brightest Witch of her Age", Ronald? Of course I knew that." She snapped at Ron, who recoiled slightly at the anger in her words.
"Er.. you guys need a bit of catch up time? I know for a fact that owls take forever to mail messages.." the Doctor asked, trailing off.
"Nah, they're fine. They always fight like this. Built up sexual tension, if you ask me." Harry whispered to the doctor, amused at the two.
"Harry James Potter, I heard that!" Hermionie shrieked, hitting his arm playfully yet firmly, receiving an "Ouch, Hermionie!" from the raven haired boy.
The Doctor muffled a laugh at this, knowing full well that girls can be really strong, and especially when it comes to slapping people. Wandering off from the trio, he went back to his TARDIS, moving it to somewhere else around the castle. When the TARDIS re-appeared, he was in the middle of a courtyard, obviously somewhere enclosed within the giant castle.
"And how come I've never seen you before?" he asked the giant school, searching the courtyard he was enclosed in for an exit before locking the TARDIS and moving on to find the hospital wing. It took him 15 minutes, but with the help the students, he managed to find the large room yet again quite easily.
"Where did you go?" Hermionie asked, the previous sadness in her eyes being erased to interest.
"Moved Sexy outside. This castle is really quite gigantic, isn't it?" he asked, looking back out into the hallway.
"You get used to it after a while." Ron said, casually looking around the room. "So many memories in here, eh Harry?"
"Way too many, if you ask me." Harry mumbled, his face flaring up in embarrassment. He didn't mean to be a magnet for trouble.
"They can hardly be good memories, can they?" The Doctor asked curiously looking between the faces of the trio.
"Well, some are good, others are bad." Hermionie stated, looking between the two of them. "One time in our 6th year, I think it was, Ron got dumped by this crazy, obnoxious girl in here."
Ron moaned, "don't remind me!" before slapping his face into his hands.
"Aww, it's alright Won-Won! We'd never!" Harry claimed, slapping his best friend on the back.
"Oh dear, one of those clingy girls?" the Doctor asked, pity written all over his face.
Hermionie snorted. "Understatement of the century. If Lavender could have stitched herself to him, she would have."
"Dear God, really?" The Doctor asked, intrigued. He loved to hear stories of interesting people- even if they were a tiny bit annoying. "Tell me more about this girl? She sounds quite interesting, and seeing as we have all the time in the world.."
"Oh please just drop it!" Ron moaned, slithering to the floor in embarrassment.
"Aw, come on Ron! Be a man!" The Doctor cheered, slapping the young man on the back, causing him to yelp. "Sorry! Sorry.." he trailed off, looking sheepish.
"He'll really hate us if we continue like this, you know." Hermionie stated to Harry, who thought for a second then nodded.
"So tell us more about you." Harry said, as more of a command than anything else. Ron perked up from his position on the floor to hear the strange man's story.
The Doctor sighed. He really hated telling others about himself.
"Come on, Doctor, tell us more about you!" Hermionie urged, playfully shoving the Doctor a little.
These people are quite punchy..The Doctor thought before reluctantly telling him stories of his childhood and between regenerations (which seemed to last forever) earning many laughs and some tears, the tears mostly coming from Hermionie.
Somehow, in the hour or two that they had been in the Hospital Wing, Madame Pomphrey hadn't turned up, and when Hermionie realised this she asked the other two members of the golden trio if they'd seen her.
"I actually haven't seen her in ages.." Ron recalled, looking thoughtful.
"Neither have I." Harry stated, shrugging.
"Who are we talking about here?" The Doctor asked, looking between the three quite obviously worried adults.
"The nurse here.. you wouldn't be able to miss her. I'm surprised she didn't come around when we came bursting in yelling for Hermionie. She usually would kick our butts out of here if we did that normally." Harry told the very confused Doctor.
"Should I go look for her?" Ron asked, already scanning the room they were in. Standing up, he walked towards what was, what he had thought, her office. "Didn't she once have an office in here?" he asked, poking his head into the room.
"Ron.. that's always been the bathroom in here. There's never been any other rooms. Trust me. I should know." Harry told the confused ginger.
"We can find her later.. right now I'm quite hungry." Hermionie almost whined, earning a surprised response from her best friends. "What? I've been in a coma for who knows how long, and so I need some damn food!"she declared, climbing off the uncomfortable bed and promptly fell over with a squeak.
The three men rushed over to her, pelting her head with questions.
"Are you okay?"
"Are you dying?"
"Do you need help up?"
"Are you retarded?"
And all was silent, everyone staring awkwardly at Ron. Hermionie accepted Doctor's helping hand, and jumped to her feet. And burst out laughing. Which caused three very confused men.
"Oh god that was funny.." she whispered, wiping tears from her eyes and putting her poker face on, "to answer your questions: yes I'm okay, my foot just fell asleep, I am in fact in perfect health, thank you for the hand up Doctor, and for shit's sake, Ronald!" Harry just facepalmed and walked away, and the Doctor gave her a small smile before chuckling and also walking away. Ron just stood there, blushing.
"Er.. Sorry." he said, grinning, "Shall we go down to dinner?" he asked, offering his arm which Hermionie walked right past and towards the other two men.
"Harry! Doctor!" she sang, skipping on her still not-fully-stable legs. "Lets eat, drink, and be merry!" she yelled. Hooking her arms in theirs, the trio took off skipping to the joyous girl's pace. This also left Ron behind, looking confused at her random outburst and just generally dumbfounded at how she reacted to him being anywhere remotely polite.
Using one of Neville's favourite phrases, he mumbled "why is it always me?" and followed the happy trio down to the Great Hall.
Youlaikeee? :D
I'm sorry, but I totally can't have Hermionie be with Ron.. Don't hate on me! Pleeease don't hate on me! He'll probably end up with Lavender or Luna, though Luna is probably going to end up with Neville.. ANYWAY.
Review, please! It'd make me post faster!
That is, when I get back from my cottage. for a week starting Sunday.. Ise sorry! D:
