Enemies inlove (Hiatus)

Chapter 21: Mister Gilderoy Lockhart

Hermione.

You know what's weird? How summer seemed to be passing off like seconds, in a blink of the eye we need to go back to Hogwarts and start a fresh chapter. Padma went back to her home in India while Harry was still here, He seems to be nervous around my parents first but they really loved him and I'm glad about that, cause I love him too. Right now we are in my room, all packed and playing chess and yes, REGULAR chess.

"Harry Potter sir!" I wanted to scream when I heard him pop out. He was what I believe a House elf. "Who the heck are you?" I asked, Harry was confused. "I-I'm Dobby, Madam. Sir! You must not go back to Hogwarts!"

Harry was confused. I chuckled, "Yeah, I know that Harry is lazy-"

"No! Madam it's not about that." He looks genuinely worried about Harry. He looked at him, "how about you sit down for a moment dobby." Harry said, then to our surprise, He started crying. Sending a confused stare at Harry I decided to speak. "U-uh Sorry Dobby, don't cry."

He started crying again. "Never in Dobby's life that he has been treated, like an equal!" He started crying again. "Look, Dobby. All of us here are good and Hogwarts is good too okay? So chill okay? We're going to be okay."

"A great danger is coming to Hogwarts!" Dobby exclaimed, I looked at Harry, "Harry Potter must be protected!" He said then he snapped his fingers and like that he was gone. I looked at Harry who immediately shrugged. "I have no Idea Mione."

I was so confused, at the same time I was looking at him. "A great danger huh.."

~•~

We were at the Diagon alley going to the Flourish and Bolts to pick our school books, Harry had his hand intertwined with mine as we walked inside. "I, Mister Gilderoy Lockhart had the pleasure of teaching the class of Mister Harry Potter!"

"Bless my soul," The guy with blonde hair said, "It's Harry Potter." The press said as he immediately pushed me to the side ending with me on the floor, well being shoved is not good you know. "Together you an I will make the front page!"

"Hey!" Harry then said as he pushed the press aside even before he could take the picture. "Don't shove her like that." He then said walking back to me. He gave me a hand which made me smile. "Are you okay?" Worry was evident in his beautiful green eyes as he asked. I nodded. "I'm fine."

"Harry Potter!" The blonde guy said as he walked to us then he looked at me, obviously disgusted. "And His girl." I rolled my eyes. "It would be my honour if you can join me for a picture for our fans."

Harry looked at him with a glare. "I'm so sorry, you're acting like my girlfriend had not been shoved like a piece of garbage earlier."

The blonde guy looked at me gritting his jaw. "I'm sorry, we didn't know that this," he looked at me from head to toe, "girl is associated with you in anyway."

When I saw Harry smirk I shook my head chuckling. His James side is showing. "Oh, I'm sorry but I refuse to take a picture with you, not until you know how to treat a girl right." Harry smiled, as he pulled me to head out. He then looked back. "Oh, an apology would be nice, then maybe I'll reconsider."

I looked at him with wide eyes. He just smiled. Well, at least he said that right? He then raised his brow. "No apology? Alrighty." Harry then said as we completely walked out the door.

He looked at me then we both laughed. "That was rude!" I said, He chuckled. "Like Father, Like Son I guess." He then winked which made me laugh."

"How was summer?" It was a good thing that the elf has let us through the barrier and now we are in the train, not running late for anything. Padma and Neville are sitting in front of us, I just smiled. "We're good." She smiled, Neville was smiling. "You know, I get to visit my mum and dad this summer."

Happiness was evident in his eyes. "Well, there was this elf earlier," I started, Harry looked at me and Padma was listening. "He said that a great danger was coming to Hogwarts. So that Harry mustn't come."

Padma raised her brow, "An elf? From what family?" She asked, I tried to remember. I then shrugged. "I don't know. He didn't come there after what happened." Harry beat me to it. "Maybe it was just an empty threat." Neville said. I shrugged. "Maybe. I don't know."

"No elves are known to be mischievous right?" Padma asked, Neville nodded.

"Well, atleast someone asked them to do that thing. That's why I'm asking if you if you know the owners. We can trace them and ask what's happening."

"Sadly not yet."

The three of us looked at each other. I sighed, "I hope nothing bad will happen." Harry just smiled and held my hand making me lean myself into his touch.

Then suddenly the compartment door opened, revealing a red head, well three red heads. "Oh, Sorry! We had the wrong compartment." One of the boys, I'm assuming twins said. "It's okay. Are you guys okay?"

"Yup, just finding a compartment for our--"

"Dear sister--"

"To be in--"

They really finish each others sentences. "Well she can stay here." Padma smiled and made a spot for her in the middle of the two of them. "Thanks guys we owe you one!" Both of them said at the same time.

The girl just stayed standing at the door. "Come here, sit." Padma said, the girl smiled and then sat. "Hi, I'm Padma, this is Neville, and Harry and Hermione. It's very nice to meet you."

"H-Hi. I'm Ginny. Ginny Weasley." She smiled at us. "You're related to Ronald Weasley?" I asked, she nodded. "Did my brother did you harm in any way? If he did I'll get him back don't worry." I chuckled. "We're good Ginny." I smiled.

"I like her." Padma suddenly blurted, making us smile. "You're gonna fit right in."

Please don't make that eyes at Harry. I looked at Harry who was looking at me the whole time. He then whispered.

"Jealous Granger?"

I rolled my eyes. "Do I have the reason to be?" I asked he chuckled.

We were sitting at the great hall, waiting for everyone to get sorted. I smiled at Ginny who took a nervous glance at me. "We'll save you a seat here." I mouthed then pointing the empty seat next to me.

She just smiled, the hat did placed her in Gryffindor. Her brother and all of us were cheering at where the hat placed her.

She sat beside me and we looked out for the others that got sorted. Harry looked at me then he held my hand below the table. I smiled.

Is it okay for me to claim him? I smiled. Probably not.
