Part 9 - Shocking Everyone
Few weeks later, the day of Hogsmead came and Hermione was both exicted and nervous, as it would be the first outing for the triad relationship she with Dean and Seamus have together, and none knew or suspected it was going on, as they were indifferent in classes and at breaks aswell at any eating session, though they could share a kiss or two here and there in the corridors as they patroled them together. Those others Prefects suspected but wasn't too sure if it was true or not, nor their business really.
The boys' parents knew like Sirius and Remus did, and they were all supporting the three in all of this and were happy for the three. The boys' mothers wrote Hermione often and their fathers did their best to write aswell, so they had a close enough relationship with the three of them, and it was great to have for Hermione's part, and Dean and Sea were just happy to have the girl they had a such huge crush on, as their girlfriend and that she was also willing to try a triad with them two.
So as Hermione was nervous and exicted of this day, the boys' were even more so nervous and scared of what others would say about it all, but in the end they decided that it was theirs to deal with, not others to get in the middle of, and Harry was one of them who had to stay out of it, and leave Hermione alone and them too of course. Hermione had told them in confidence that Harry was not okay after everything that had been revealed in court and she told them the whole story of what had happened in there, and it shocked them but also pissed them off, and Hermione had shown them the results of her own exams of those potions were in her system and she had taken a flushing potion to literally flush it all out.
And it was all out of her, but Harry she didn't know if it all was out of his own system or he needed more dosages, and the boys' had in secret confided in Madam Pomfrey of this, and she was appalled and would get to give him a dose next time he was in her wing for injuries or otherwise, and so far he hadn't been in any, and it was getting her frusterad, but one day, the day before the Hogsmead outing, Hermione had stunned Harry in a fake duel session, and brought him up to her to get it into his system before he was re-awakened, and Madam Pomfrey had been pleased by her help.
And she had given the said boy another dosage of the Flushing Potion, and he was now stuck in there for his own stupidity of getting into a fake duel with other students at school hours, and he also before being awakened, had gotten a dentention for calling another student stupid and to shut up by McGonagell who got the story of the student that he had called stupid and to shut up literally by, and she was appalled by this, and the next morning while the other students were in Hogsmead, he would be stuck in the castle with her and Remus and Sirius, as she did not tell Dumbledore any of this, as he would just take it in his own hands to let him go off with no issues of what he had done or said.
Meanwhile, Hermione with Dean and Seamus walked down in the village, holding hands and walking close to each other towards the bar that Dumbledore's estranged brother worked at, and everyone in the village stared after them with wide jaws to the ground, because before they walked on inside, the two boys' took their shot, and gave her a kiss on her lips and held her in their arms.
It made things go wild in the rumour mill for sure, and soon enough except the ones still at Hogwarts knew what had happened and it was shocking for everyone there, and couldn't wait to tell those back at school about it, and let them see it aswell for themselves.
Hermione, Dean and Seamus had a blast with their date, and Aberforth was very friendly and helpful with his own food and drinks to give them, and he also gave them privacy to hang out and do whatever they wanted essiantally. After 2 hours there, they came out the same way they got in, and walked for a bit in the village, while ignoring everyones' staring at and after themselves, and then it was time to go back, and Hermione with Dean and Seamus was met up by Sirius and Remus, who she gave a tight hug to, and introduce the boys' again to Remus and let Sirius to meet the two she had clearly falling in love with, and he was happily greeting them and told Hermione to be careful again and to have fun.
And then he also with Remus' help told them that they were coming back in the morning for Harry was not doing so good that he made them all to believe to be doing, and she was not really shocked by it, but worried still, for he was afterall her brother in everything now, as he too had been blood-adopted despite he did not want to be in first place, for he didn't want to loose his Potter name and bloodline. But Sirius being his god-father by ritual and choice of his parents' made him not able to choose it away.
Hermione told them that Aberforth told them hi and to visit him when they could, which they said they would tomorrow too if it didnt take too long with Harry then. Hermione smiled and hugged them again, then they went their separated ways. She and the boys of hers went in and up to their common room, to chill out until dinner time.
Meanwhile rumours and speculations were going wild downstairs as more got to know the juicyness of what had happened back in the village and so forth, and Harry sat in the classroom of Minerva and was bored and angry to be stuck there. Minerva sat at her desk, grading students' homeworks, while she had told Harry to re-write his as the one he had given for his summer holidays was not correct one, and he was annoyed, pissed and bored at the same time of this being told to him. But had no choice to do so, he couldn't do anything else, nor able to leave, for she locked them inside so neither of them could leave until both were done with theirs.
So he didn't know and wouldn't until dinner time to know what had happened down in the village. It was going to be exploding for him to hear and learn about, for he still felt that Ron was better choice for her, than those two lunatics of boys he felt Dean and Seamus were, as Seamus couldn't control any of his magic, as he made everything explode, and Dean was just a clown ass.
