O give me a west Erry-my-knee," Ron said nearly splattering food over Hermione who was looking at him disgusted thinking how he could be so pig-like, Ginny, who still didn't know of Harry and Hermione's relationship also looked at Ron as if he were something nasty on her shoe. Harry ate a roast potato as Hermione was still buried in her book, she looked at Harry a few times and held his hand. After a while, she gave in and a small pie and sweet corn- exactly what Harry was eating. Harry and Hermione thought it was cute, but Ron and especially Ginny thought it was weird. Harry laughed as Ron splattered Ginny with some salivary food which Ginny had nearly bat-bogeyed hexed him for but Ron and Hermione had pleaded with her. "Ron you are so foul," she said looking for somewhere else to sit. Hermione and Harry continued to look at each other and pick the same food until it caught a little too much attention. Every Gryffindor seemed to be looking at them so Hermione buried her face in her book and Harry looked at his own book.
"This is so embarrassing," Hermione whispered to Harry who had flushed bright red.
"I know," he whispered back.
Ron laughed and said, "why don't you just come clean," Ginny turned around and she didn't look happy. Don't say it Ron Harry mouthed to Ron but Ron had already opened his mouth, "that Harry and Hermione are together," Hermione flushed and Harry nearly choked on a piece of a pie.
Ginny gave him a deathly stare and turned to Harry, "is this true?"
Harry looked at Hermione who looked just as blank as he did. "Uh yes," he began "were doing a- um- you know project together, yeah t-that's all,"
Ginny looked as convinced as if she was two, "yeah and what project is that?" she spat venom tickling of the word of each of sound.
"Um- a project in," Hermione looked down at her book. She looked up again Padma Patil and Pavarti Patil was looking at her as was Neville, Dean, and Seamus.
"We're screwed," Harry said softly in Hermione's ear.
"Yep," Ginny was now dark with anger "so what is it?" she spat so venomously Harry thought he was in the room with a snake.
Harry looked angrily at Ron and nudged Hermione. "There are some spare seats there, let's go now before Ginny bites either of our heads off," Harry said. He and Hermione got up and sat down across from Ginny and Ron and looked at each other.
"Wow, that was-" Hermione said and she almost looked scared
"-heated?" Harry said, "Let's hope that Dumbledore finishes his speech so we can get out of here."
Just then Dumbledore strode up to where he usually gave speeches. He started talking about the usual, the term and dangers and then he went onto something happening.
"Very soon two other schools will join us for a tournament held at this school, the Triwizard Tournament!" he revealed a glossy blue cup which shone magnificently. "Eternal glory, that is what awaits whoever lifts the cup the Triwizard Cup, I shall speak no more until the other two schools arrive here-" He was stopped by the cracking of lightning and the screams of students. Just then a red string was shot into the sky and it returned to normal. A man stood there with a missing, leg, eye, a limp and what looked like a large staff.
"Mad-eye, my dear friend," Dumbledore said greeting Mad-eye as he slurped down a foul looking drink and shook it off
"Oh please don't enter Harry, I couldn't bear to lose you!" Hermione said with a look of worry
"Don't worry, there is no way I am entering into that people die in that tournament!" Harry said comforting Hermione without thinking and seeing as nobody was looking Hermione pecked Harry on the lips and left quickly when they were dismissed. "Quick Hermione under the cloak!" Harry and Hermione scrambled under the cloak and watched as Ginny burst in with Padma, Neville, Seamus, and Pavarti at her sides.
"Did you see the way she was fawning all over him," she spat "they're together and I gonna expose them!" Ginny said looking like a snake again "there probably up there now fawning over each other or frizzy stuck her head in a book."
"Or their hearing a so-called friend mouth off about us!" said Harry jumping up from the cloak glaring meaningfully at Ginny
"Oh look here he is, come clean Harry are you two together or not," Ginny hissed at them as Hermione came out of the cloak
"That is none of your business Ginny, and don't insult Hermione about reading, I read a lot and you're just jealous because she's cleverer than you so leave her alone!" Harry said taking Hermione hand and squeezing it
"Yeah Ginny, you're just jealous because I've been hanging around with Harry a lot and he likes me not you!" Hermione said snorting with anger
"So are you together?" Ginny hissed
"That is none of your business. I and Harry shall do as we please and if Harry and I want to be around each other, you can't stop me," she looked at Ginny who was already planning how to split them up, "Oh and Ginny I've already kissed him twice so don't even think about that."
"Ha!" she snorted "As if Harry would ever kiss you? You're just saying that!" Ginny snorted
"No, she isn't," Harry piped up
Hermione leaned in and kissed Harry who kissed back in front of an awe-struck group of people and turned back to Ginny who looked as if she was going to kill Hermione, "see Harry woud kiss me and he did, so stop looking at me like that and find something else to do." she said squeezing Harry's hand.
"Hermione, do you think you'll be safe with Ginny because once, according to Ron, he messed up her clothes and the next day he woke up covered in fat yellow spots!" Harry said
"You're right, I'll sleep with you on the sofa, ok," Hermione said looking at Harry
"Yeah sure," Harry said going to get changed
