CHAPTER 3
Harry stood outside the dark, dingy potions room with his other best friend Ron whilst waiting to catch a glimpse of that wild, but no longer bushy, brown hair. "Maybe I should ask her to be my girlfriend after the ball…" mused Harry in a casual tone that Ron picked up instantly for what it truly was; timidness. "Harry, mate, you practically asked her to marry you in the Great Hall when you put on that little performance earlier," laughed Ron at the happy glazed look that had appeared over his best friends eyes as Hermione came tapping down the hallway laughing and giggling with Lavender and Parvati… 'Wait a minute, since when does 'Mione giggle?' thought Harry as an amused expression came over his handsome face "I'll ask her later about it…" he said out loud causing Ron to stare at him in confusion , Harry simply shrugged his shoulders, then sauntered into the potions lab grabbing a table for himself, Ron and Hermione in the process.
"Right today class, we will be making Felix Felis. As it is a very powerful potion you will all be making just enough to last for an hour. The instructions are on the board, you may begin" said Professor Snape in his icy tone as he swished away to his desk. Hermione examined the ingredients in her book then proceeded to make her way over to the cupboard, unaware of the pair of eyes that travelled her. Hermione picked up the first ingredient hellebore and walked back to her cauldron. "Harry can you place three shredded hellebore into the potion but not before Ron adds the flobberworm juice" commanded Hermione as she herself began to chop up the lily roots. "'Mione, erm why were you giggling with Lavender and Parvati earlier?" enquired Harry softly.
Hermione looked up at Harry and grinned slightly but then proceeded to feel her shoulders hunch, "They want me to spend the WHOLE day with them tomorrow getting ready!" pouted Hermione playfully as Harry laughed loudly at her comment earning several glares from the Slytherins. "It's not funny Harry!" said Hermione grumpily but this caused Harry to laugh louder and Hermione felt herself grinning stupidly too. "Is something amusing Mr. Potter, Miss. Granger?" snapped a cranky Snape as he loomed over Neville's desk. "Yes, sir other wise we wouldn't be laughing" quipped Hermione cheekily. This was so unusual for the studious Gryffindor that everyone stopped what they were doing to see the Professors reaction, whilst there were various outbursts of laughter at her comment.
Snape smirked evilly at her before replying in a snide tone "20 points from Gryffindor for your rude behaviour." This statement caused many objections from half of the class as Hermione hung her head but kept the smug grin all the same. "Hermione that was-" started Ron but was cut off by Dean as he laughed "Bloody Awesome! Great job Hermione," Harry glared at his fellow dorm mate as Dean patted his girlfriend on the back for a bit too long, 'wait no stop it! She's not your girlfriend' said a part of Harry's brain whilst another chuckled and said 'Yet'.
Because of the upcoming ball that was to begin on Friday evening all classes finished when Lunch began, in order to allow the female residents some time to fuss over their looks. Hermione was somewhat disconcerted that she'd have to spend the whole day with Lavender and Parvati tomorrow as she found that they generally had no personality apart from fashion, boys and romance. 'Gods, what have I gotten myself into!' Hermione mentally screamed 'I'll be a walking talking manikin before I even get to go to the ball!' with that though Hermione stomped out of the Gryffindor common room to go attend dinner and get her mind off the horrors that tomorrow might contain…
Ron and Cho sat together at the Ravenclaw table earning strange glances from the two different houses that observed their odd behaviour- Cho feeding Ron grapes and Ron softly running his fingers through her shoulder length locks of charcoal. Harry smirked at the sight of his best friend going googly- eyed over a girl he swore would be the death of him, but where was the one girl that made his heart do the funny flippy thing that made his breath catch in his throat, the one that he had kissed so thoroughly that he couldn't really focus on class all day. Harry smiled a smile that would've melted even Voldemorts heart (if he had one) when he saw her enter in the through the great wooden doors, looking like she could've murdered at the state of her face but it soon disappeared and was replaced with one of passion, love and adoration as she caught his eyes in a smouldering gaze. 'I think I could honestly marry this girl when we finish Hogwarts next year' thought Harry but his face held a shocked look as he realised something for the first time ever as she sat down opposite him. She pulled chicken onto her plate and filled her goblet with pumpkin juice.
'I think I'm in love with Hermione Granger…'
