"Loo loo skip to my loo
loo loo skip to my loo
loo loo skip to my loo
skip to my loo my darling!"
Hermione, Harry, and Ron skipped through the hallways, singing and laughing. Some Hogwarts students pointed and laughed while others gave them odd looks. They shrugged it off and continued. They didn't care what they thought. They were the Golden Trio, and no one questioned the Golden Trio no matter how many people thought of them as weirdoes.
Except the Slytherins.
Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode (sp?) walked in front of them and they nearly collided into each other. Luckily Hermione had some sense as to look where they were going and stopped just in time. They released the grip of each other's hands and glared at the two Slytherins with the utmost hate. Pansy and Bulstrode replied in the same manner.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Potty, weasel, and
mudblood," she glanced at her top and then said, "Looks like the little slut was out snogging the Golden Boy and Weasel king," Pansy sneered.
Harry and Ron immediately stood up to defend their friend.
"Sod off, Parkinson," Harry said.
"Don't you dare saying anything like that about Hermione!" Ron yelled.
Hermione pushed Harry and Ron away. "Boys, I think I could handle this," she said. She walked up in front of them and then told Pansy and Millicent, "25 points from Slytherin for use of foul language and 10 for it being directed to the Head Girl. If I hear that word ever again, it'll be detention." She pushed past Pansy and walked ahead. Harry and Ron gave Pansy another glare and followed Hermione.
A second or so later, Hermione's eyes rested on the back of a tall redhead.
"Ginny!" she yelled.
Virginia Weasley turned around and her face lit up when she saw her friend. It was a while since they last since each other. 3 days to be exact. Ginny had grown to be quite a pretty young girl. Her red hair flowed elegantly down her back in nice waves and didn't need to be mended with a wand. She was quite tall, much like her brother, but had filled out her height with curves in all the right places. The boys went crazy for her, but the redhead's attention was only on a certain someone.
Ginny hurriedly came over and gave Hermione a hug, but drew back almost instantly.
"What's wrong, Gin?" Hermione asked.
Ginny's face turned a nice shade of pink. "I uh
your uh
" she stammered.
"What is it?" Hermione asked impatiently.
Harry and Ron quickly reached their friend.
"Hey, Gin," Ron said.
Harry simply blushed and moved behind Ron, allowing the redhead's tall form to hide him. Harry seemed to fancy the redhead and she him, but they were too shy to still admit it. Which was odd for Harry turned out to be quite the ladies man and had his share of fine young girls and Ginny was quite popular with the boys themselves, but they always seemed to be a bit tongue-tied with each other.
"Uh
." Ginny began, but her face was fixed on Harry who was slightly hidden by Ron's hair.
Hermione seriously wished to know what Ginny was talking about and didn't care that the redhead and the boy with the messy raven-black hair were within a few feet from each other. Normally she would've taken Ron away and allow them some privacy and hook them up, but her curiosity seemed to be a bit more important at the moment.
"Ginny, what are you waiting for? What do you wish to tell me?" Hermione asked once again, getting highly irritated.
Ginny seemed to break away from her trance and looked at Hermione. Her cheeks flushed and she remembered what she was about to say before the boys came. She pulled Hermione's hand and moved her a few feet away from the boys. "You're shirt is wet. If it wasn't red, then it would've been see-through," Ginny whispered.
Hermione looked down at her red tank top. It was wet. That was what made Ginny move away and Pansy say she was a slut!
"How did this--" she stopped mid-sentence. She realized the answer to her own question and blushed a nice shade of pink. Malfoy was soaking wet when he came out of the bathroom and when her body was pressed against his, it soaked hers too.
"But why didn't Ron or Harry tell me?" Hermione cried.
Harry and Ron immediately came up behind her.
"Tell you what 'Mione?" Harry asked.
"That my top is soaking wet!" Hermione cried out, and then clamped her mouth shut.
Harry looked at her shirt and frowned. Ron got all red and tried not to look.
"Er
I would've told you
but er
I didn't want you to get mad at me like you did with Ron," Harry managed to reply.
Hermione's cheeks turned a darker shade of pink. "Er
sorry you guys."
Harry nodded his head. Ron looked intently at his shoes finding it oddly interesting and Ginny suppressed a giggle.
Hermione took out her wand and muttered a quick drying spell.
There was silence.
It was Hermione that broke it. "Well I was thinking about buying a few books and quills. Ron would you like to accompany me?" she said, hoping Ron would take the hint.
Ron looked at her, a confused look on his freckled face, but she gave him a look and he realized what she was trying to do. "Uh
er
sure Herms."
Hermione sighed in satisfaction, loped her hand around the crook of his arm and led him away. Leaving the two shy lovebirds alone.
Harry blushed, finding it odd without Ron's hair to cover his face from Ginny. Ginny got fed up and took Harry's hand. "Let's get going shall we?"
Harry pulled on his collar to let some air go in and nodded at her and began walking, making their way into Hogsmeade.

Hermione made her way towards Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop with Ron grumbling behind her.
"Hermione, don't you have anything better to do than to think about studying?" Ron whined.
"Whatever do you wish me to do?" Hermione asked innocently as she eyed a nice green and black quill. Her mind shifted to Malfoy and his green boxers. The ones she saw last night as he was in the bathroom. The thought made her blush.
Ron came up from behind her and placed a hand on the curve of her hip. "Oh I don't know." He tried to make his voice seductive, but it cracked when he said 'know'.
Hermione wanted to smack him. Not for touching her, but for his lack of tactfulness.
She moved herself away from him until his hands were completely off her. "I think I'll buy these," she announced and went over to pay for them.
Ron grabbed her elbow and made her stop. She turned around and eyed him critically. He merely took the green quill from her hand.
"Green?" he said incredulously. "Since when did you own anything green?" He said the word 'green' with distaste.
She snatched it from his hand. "Since today," she snapped and went up to the counter handing over fourteen Sickles and three Knuts.
He didn't talk about the quills or the color green again that day. For that she was grateful. She didn't know why she bought them either. It was a nice color, she had to admit. Just because it was a Slytherin color, didn't mean she couldn't own anything green. It was a stereotype that she didn't like at all.

Harry and Ginny made their way to Madam Puddifoot's. The place made Harry nervous. It reminded him of the time when he and Cho Chang first went out. It wasn't a very happy memory.
Although Ginny knew all this, she insisted to come.
"Oh Harry, this place isn't so bad!" she said as he steered him there.
"Fine, but remember I'm only doing this for you," he replied.
The place was the same as he remembered it. Steamy.
Couples were making out on the tables and unlike when he first came inside, now he didn't feel at all uncomfortable. He actually felt at ease.
Ginny and Harry made their way toward a secluded table and a moment later, Madam Puddifoot arrived. Her black hair still in that bun.
"Two coffees, please," Ginny said enthusiastically.
This wasn't the first time she was going out with Harry. They went out twice before, but never officially. It was always simply friendly. But today she was hoping otherwise. This is what made Harry tongue-tied.
Their steaming coffees arrived and Ginny blew on hers to make it cool faster. She took a sip and then placed the cup down. Her hand was laying idly on the table. Harry remembered how he tried to grab Cho's in his 5th year and managed to hold onto the sugar bowl instead as the girl admired Roger Davis.
Before it would've took him an hour to find courage, but today he didn't need it and quickly laid his hand on top of Ginny's. The redhead's expression was that of mild surprise, but she smiled warmly at him.
He returned the smile, but he didn't try to kiss her. This coffee shop just wasn't romantic enough for him. He wanted their first kiss to be somewhere magnificent, just utterly romantic, like a dream. And he already made the arrangements already. All he needed was the perfect time to take her there.
She smiled expectantly at him, but he just stroked her hand instead.
She took her cup with her other hand and took another sip from her coffee.
She was a tad disappointed.

Hermione followed Ron to Zonko's Joke Shop. She sighed as she entered the shop. Ron looked through everything enthusiastically. She found it repulsing.
This must be how Ron feels when I'm at the bookstore, she thought as she followed Ron around the aisles.
He was walking so fast now, she had to urge her legs to move, but his long legs made him move too quickly and she was tired and stopped where she was.
"Ron!" she screamed.
Ron came running toward her. "What happened? Are you all right? Are you hurt? Did you fall? Did anyone try to hurt you?" he said in one breath.
"Ron, calm down. I'm just telling you to meet me Three Broomsticks in an hour."
"Where are you going to go? I'll come with you."
"No Ron. You could stay here. I just want some fresh air. Okay?"
It took him a while to agree. But in the end he did.
"One hour okay?" he warned.
She was walking out the store. "One hour," she said over her back.
When the cool October breeze hit her face, she sighed in delight. Finally she was away from Ron. That boy seemed to be glued to her.
I'm not even his girlfriend, yet he's so overprotective of me. It's so frustrating! she thought.
She strolled around the village and passed Shrieking Shack. She shook her head. It was so sad sometimes to find out that Sirius wasn't there anymore and Lupin now stayed at Grimmauld place instead of coming over here to transform.
She was about to head to Three Broomsticks when a hand gripped her wrist. She turned around almost instantly and saw that it was Draco Malfoy who was holding her hand.
She glared at him and was going to tell him one of the old insults when his mouth came crushing into hers.
She was going to move away and slap him like she thought about doing in the morning, but found herself responding to the kiss and even allowing him to get access into her mouth.
All of a sudden, he pulled away and she opened her eyes and found him staring intently at her. His gray eyes were piercing into her soul. For a moment she thought she saw a slight glimmer in his eyes, but it went away as soon as it came.
"You liked that didn't you Granger?" he said in his cold and oh so sexy voice.
She pulled away from his grasp.
"What the hell was that for?!" she snapped.
She wouldn't admit that she liked it if he didn't.
"For pushing me away this morning," was his calm reply.
"Well why did you kiss me then?" she said.
"Because I always do what I want to," was his reply. He swiftly turned around and started to leave but she caught up to him and made him stop.
"What do you mean?" she asked him angrily.
"Don't take that tone with me Hermione Granger," he said sharply. Then he relaxed again, "I'm the only one who knows the whereabouts of your brother."
Hermione felt she just fell into a whole with no bottom. "What do you know about my brother?" she said. Her voice was low, barely even a whisper.
"A lot of things," he said in that calm voice of his and began to leave, "I'll see you again, Granger. Tonight," he said over his back.
She shuddered and made her way back to the Three Broomsticks. Wondering how he knew about her brother. And also wondering why he kissed her and what he meant by seeing her tonight.
It was the latter that made her shudder.
