Make You Realise... Romione

Chapter 8

Hermione woke early next morning and got dressed. She had Charms first then transfiguration.

She collected her books and went down into the Gryffindor Common Room.

Ron came down the boys dormitories closely followed by Harry. Hermione stood up to greet them. Well, to greet Harry.

Ron walked off to meet Lavender leaving an awkward Harry and Hermione.

"Morning!" Exclaimed Hermione, much happier than she felt.

"Hmm." Replied Harry.

"What's wrong?"

Harry sighed. "Nothing." He replied.
Hermione frowned but followed him out the portrait hole.

Harry never was one to speak how he felt if it meant upsetting someone- not if he could really help it.

They reached the great hall but found their path blocked.

"Move Malfoy." Harry growled.

"Manners Potter."

"What do you want?" Hermione asked, with as much dignity as she could manage.

"Funny you should ask," he replied, smirking. "I heard that the Weasel and Brown are together now?"

Hermione crossed her arms over her chest. She wasn't going to let him get to her. "Your point."

"My point is that I was right! Wasn't I?" He replied, with Crabbe and Goyle smirking behind him.

"No," she replied coolly. "You just called me a third wheel then was about to call me something else when we- how to put this- connected." She clapped her hands together and Malfoy flinched away.

She pushed past him and into the hall, a very confused Harry following. "What-"

"She punched him."

"I heard it was a great punch too."

Fred, George and Lee stood in front of them.

"That explains the," Harry clapped his hands together, in an imitation of Hermione.

They sat down at the Gryffindor table and ate breakfast, Hermione blocking out all noises coming from the Ron and Lavender end of the table.

"What lesson do we have first?" Asked Harry.

"Transfiguration."

Harry groaned.

"Did you do the homework?" Asked Hermione, raising her eyebrows at him.

"I was at Quidditch practice!"

The bell rang at that moment.

Hermione gave him a look that said: you-only-have-yourself-to-blame.

"Come in and lay your homework on the desk." Said McGonagall in the same, crisp tone as always.

"Yes Finnigan, there was homework." She said when Seamus groaned.

Harry and Hermione took desks next to each other near the back. Ron sat on Harry's other side, with Lavender and Pavarti in front of them.

"Today we will be working on colour changing. You will each take a snail, enlarge it and change it to any colour you wish. House points for the best colour and additional points to any patterns."

McGonagall walked around the room, collecting up homework.

"Weasley, Potter?"

"Sorry Professor-"

"5 points from Gryffindor. I expect it to be on my desk tomorrow morning or detention."

"Yes professor." Harry replied, looking slightly relieved.

"Weasley?"

Ron opened his mouth to speak but he was interrupted by Lavender giggling.

"I see." Said Professor McGonagall, scowling. "But it seemed Miss Brown still managed to do her homework?"

"I-"

"5 points from Gryffindor and I expect it on my desk tomorrow morning. Next time I would hope you do your homework before going on a date."

Ron's ears went red and Hermione looked satisfied.

"Weasley if you would pay attention to your snail and not your girlfriend please!"

Harry had only managed to make the shell a shade darker then before and Ron and managed to make it lighter. Hermione, on the other hand, had made the snail gold and the shell red. The shell had red and bronze stripes.

"10 points goes to Miss Granger, for the colours. And another 5 points for the pattern!"

Ron had just smashed his hand down on the table in frustration, turning his snail a bright pink colour.

Even McGonagall looked surprised.
"Nice colour Weasley."

Harry laughed.

The bell rang to signal the end of the lesson.

As Hermione turned to go to Arithmancy, she heard Lavender, "Oh Won Won! You're so smart!"
