Silent Love (Harry Potter Love Story)

Chapter 10

The morning already come. This morning we have Herbology with Professor Sprouts.
 
“ Morning, everyone! Good morning, everyone!” said Professor Sprout.
“ Good morning, Professor Sprout!” we said.
“Welcome to Greenhouse Three, Second Years. Now, gather around, everyone. Today, we are going to repot Mandrakes. Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root? Yes, Miss Granger,” said Professor Sprouts. As usual, Hermione always read ahead, and she always remember new things. Sometimes I think, she doesn’t really need to go to school. She’s already very smart.
“ Mandrake, or Mandragora, is used to return those who have been Petrified to their original state. It’s also quite dangerous. The Mandrake’s cry is fatal to anyone who hears it,” said Hermione.
“ Excellent! Ten points to Gryffindor! Now, as our Mandrakes are still only seedlings their cries won’t kill you yet. But they could knock you out for several hours, which is why I have given each of you a pair of earmuffs for auditory protection. So, could you please put them on, right away? Quickly! Flaps tight down, and watch me closely. You grasp your Mandrake firmly, you pull it sharply up out of the pot... “ said Professor Sprouts.
“ Aah! Ooh!” said everyone.
“ Got it? And... now you dunk it down into the other pot and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm,” said Professor Sprout.
Neville who stand beside me, he’s fainted
“ Uh, Longbottom’s been neglecting his earmuffs,” said Professor Sprout
“ No, ma’am, he’s just fainted,” said Seamus
“ Yes, well, just leave him there. Right! On we go! Plenty of pots to go around. Grasp your Mandrake, and pull it up!” said Professor Sprouts.
 
I pull out my mandrake and I see the mandrake smile at me, while everyone else mandrake is screaming and crying.
“How you do that?” Malfoy screams. His mandrake even bites his finger. I just shrug my head.
“They smile at you?” Professor Sprout said. “That’s very rare.”
 
The Herbology already finished, and we suppose to have lunch.
“How your mandrake smile at you?” Ron asked. “I don’t get it.”
“I honestly don’t know Ron,” I said.
“That’s strange, amazing, but strange,” Harry said.
“C’mon, let’s go have lunch,” Hermione said.
 
At the Great Hall, Ron try to fix his wand.
“ Huhh... Say it, I’m doomed,” Ron said
“ You’re doomed,” Harry said.
Suddenly...
“ Hi, Harry! I’m Colin Creevy! I’m in Gryffindor, too!” said Colin while take Harry’s picture
“ Oh- Hi, Colin. Nice to meet you,” said Harry. Still blinking because the flash of Colin’s camera.
“ Ron? Is that your owl?” asked Hermione. And the owl fall in my soup.
“ Ha-ha... Ha, ha,” everyone laughed.
“ Bloody bird’s a menace. Oh, no!” said Ron.
“ Look, everyone! Weasley’s got himself a Howler!” Seamus said.
“What’s howler?” Harry and I asked at the same time.
“You’ll about to see,” Hermione said.
“ Go on, Ron. I ignored one from my gran once. It was horrible,” said Neville. Then Ron open the Howler
“ RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! I AM ABSOLUTLEY DISGUSTED! YOUR FATHER’S NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK, AND IT’S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE, WE’LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME! Oh, and Ginny, dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud! Thhhhbt!” said the Howler.
“That’s scary,” I said.
“Harry, did McGonagall send the Dursley a letter about that? Why they don’t answer it?” Hermione said.
“They maybe dissapointed why the tree doesn’t knock me dead,” Harry smiled.
“C’mon, let’s go to DADA,” I said.
“How am I suppose to learn magic with this wand?” Ron asked.
“Just asks your parents for the new one Ron,” Hermione said.
“Oh yeah, and then they will give me another howler that yells at entire great hall. Nice advice Hermione,” Ron said sarcatically.
“That’s your only way to get a new wand,” I said. And Ron smile bitterly.
 
Then we go to DADA class. Hermione just walk so fast and sit in front of the class next to Susan Bones. Then I sit next to Harry and Ron. Professor Lockhart come out.
“Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher... me! Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five-times winner of Witch Weekly’s Most-Charming-Smile Award- but I don’t talk about that. I didn’t get rid of the Bandon Banshee by smiling at him,” said Lockhart.
Ron, Harry, and I just stare at each other, while every girls in this room maybe fancies him.
“Hermione, Hermione,” I whispered. But Hermione still not listening.
“I think we lost Hermione,” I said.
Ron and Harry laugh.
“ Huh, huh, huh... hee, hee... Now- be warned! It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind. You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am here. I must ask you not to scream. It might... provoke them!” said Lockhart
“ Cornish pixies?” said Seamus
“ Freshly caught Cornish pixies!” said Lockhart
“ Ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha...,” Seamus laughed
“Laugh if you will, Mr. Finnigan, but pixies can be devilish tricky little blighters,” said Lockhart. He’s about to open the cage.
“Sir, are you sure it’s save to open the cage,” I raised my hand.
“It’s ok my dear. Let’s see what you make of them, ha! Come on now- round them up, round them up, they’re only pixies!” said Lockhart.
“ Ah! Aaah! Aaah! Aah- aah!” the pixies bring Neville to the ceiling
“ Hey, get me down!” Neville said. Everyone run outside the class. And there is a pixie on Hermione’s hair
“ Get off me!” said Hermione.
“ Stop! Stop! Hold still!” said Harry and hit the pixies.
“ Peskipiksi pesternomi!” Lockhart said, but the spell doesn’t work. And the pixies hold his wand.
“I’ll ask you four to just nip the rest of them back into their cage!” said Lockhart.
“What? He just run away? He’s the teacher right?” I said while still hit the pixies
“ What do we do now?” said Ron
“ Immobulus!” said Hermione.
The pixies starts to sleep, then we put it all back on the cages while Harry helps Neville go down
“ Why is it always me?” Neville said.
“I don’t get Lockhart, he’s the teacher, but he runs away,” I said.
“C’mon just let’s go,” Harry said.
