Sleeping Beauty

A/N I am SOOOO sorry that I haven’t updated in such a long time. I go to school and we don’t really have THAT much homework, but it is super hard, I’m GT (gifted and talented) and yeah besides I’m really busy, babysitting and Indian type parties where they go on till 3 in the morning! Ok, well I’m pretty sure you just want to read the chapter! HERE IT IS!

            The whole school was buzzing with excitement when the first week was over and they could catch up with their friends. Harry, though, was not so enthusiastic about the weekend.

            “And then we can go to Hogsmeade and you can buy me a really pretty dress for the ball and then we can-“ said Hermione. Harry rolled his eyes and only heard blah, blah, blah after that.

            “Hermione, I was actually thinking about practicing Quidditch over the weekend, I need some time alone!” said Harry as they stopped in front of the head girl and boy’s dormitory.

            “Oh, well, I am sure I can get some other boy to spend the weekend with me. I know everybody is DYING to!” bragged Hermione as she flipped her hair and smacked Harry in the face. Harry was once again disgusted with her behavior. Luckily, it stops during class and she can still pass, but he is thinking of going to Hogsmeade to tell Fred and George to hurry up.

            “Mate! The boys and I were thinking about getting together this weekend and, you know, doing guy stuff. You wanna come?” asked Ron, with a butterbeer he took from the kitchen.

            “As long as we don’t stay in Hogsmeade too long, I’m fine with it!” said Harry, maybe this could make him avoid Hermione.

            “Bye, lover! I’ll see you tonight!” said Hermione, she blew him a flirty kiss and walked away.

            “What is happening tonight? Why is she hitting on you?” asked Ron.

            “I have no clue what she is talking about! She flirts with me a lot, she can’t go to anybody else!” said Harry, he felt like doing something or hitting something.

*that night*

            Harry took off his shirt, folding it, and stowed it in his cupboard. He turned towards the door as he put on his sleeping shirt, but he saw Hermione. She was in her night clothes and was fidgeting with something in his room. She wore a slinky pink dress with oriental embroidering and an eyecap on her head.

            “Hey Harry! I just wanted to talk to you! No need to get all dressed up!” said Hermione, Harry wasn’t attracted to her good looks anymore.

            “How long have you been standing there?” asked Harry and he started to brush his teeth.

            “Fine, don’t be glad to see me! I just came in and then I saw you! That is what I wanted to talk to you about!” said Hermione. Harry stopped brushing and turned around. She was standing there and smiling seductively.

            “Hermione, get out!” said Harry.

            “Oh! Nothing like that, I favor somebody else! I just wanted to ask you if you would-er-help me. I need to make somebody jealous-“ said Hermione, but she was cut off when Harry pushed her out of the door.

            “I am NOT helping you in that way. I have plans for tomorrow and I need my sleep, GOOD NIGHT!” shouted Harry. He slammed the door shut and realized that he just had an outburst in front of her. After 20 minutes of thinking, he decided he would go and apologize.

            Harry rapped his knuckles on Hermione’s door.

            “Harry?” came a small voice of a sensitive girl. Harry creaked the door open and left it ajar. He walked over to the girl who was drenched in tears and enveloped her into a hug.

            “You are Hermione again, aren’t you?” asked Harry.

            “Yes, and I am very sorry for the way I have acted. I can’t help myself, I can’t stop myself! Harry, I’m scared! I am so senseless and I do not mean anything I say. I feel shameless, Harry don’t stare at me like that!” sobbed Hermione as she turned her head.

            Harry was staring at the gorgeous beauty in front of her, he loved THIS Hermione. She was still beautiful, in her own way. Hermione did the most unexpected thing he could have ever done at that moment.

            “Harry, do you want me to be the new me?” asked Hermione.

            “WHAT!? NEVER! How could you think that?” scolded Harry as he jumped off the bed.

            “I’m sorry, I just thought that you like the pretty me!” replied Hermione.

            “Hermione, don’t you see? You are beautiful RIGHT NOW! The real you is what I love, and always will! After a month or so, you will change back” said Harry, they sat in comfortable silence for awhile. Harry left and he slept in peace.

*morning*

            “GET UP! Hermione, there is a gift for you in the common room!” said Lavender as she vigorously shook Hermione.

            “What? Who sent it? What is going on? Did I wash my makeup off?” said Hermione.

            “COME ON!” said Parvati.

            They two giggling girls dragged Barbie out of her bed and into the common room and her eyes feasted on the sight. A gigantic bouquet of roses and different flowers in a wicker basket was lying on the ground and it was all made out of colorful chocolate.

            “We opened the card, I hope you don’t mind. It says, You have changed before my eyes and I hope I can take you to the upcoming ball- your secret whatever!” squealed Parvati.

            “Really? That sure narrows it down!” said Hermione sarcastically.

            “Nearly every boy in the school is crazy about you!” said Lavender.

            Hermione smirked at the thought of a guy who gives her items, she decided she would lead him on and keep taking the items.

            “OK girls, I have an idea. I will lead him on and from now on you will call me Desdemona. It means of the devil, this will be so much fun! Now, you two better find out who this person is!” said Hermione, she was turning into a true villain.

*breakfast*

            “Hermione, wanna go out with me?” aksed an unknown Hufflepuff boy.

            “Um, No!” scoffed Hermione, she was sitting at the Ravenclaw table with every prep descending from Cho.

            “So, Hermione, tell us again who your role model is!” asked her so called “friends”.

            “Cho, of course, I mean she was A LITTLE mean to Harry, but let bygones be bygones. That is a thing of the past, now Cho is a model for CoNjUrInG tEeN mAgAzInE and she is making millions, who wouldn’t want to be her?” said Hermione.

            “Look at her, bragging about her beauty. I really want to be patient, but this is getting a bit hard!” said Ron.

            “Ron, last night Hermione was herself! The potion is already wearing off, she will switch occasionally! We just have to keep her away from all those people, the popularity could rub off on her. She could make some promises she regrets and when she isn’t sleeping beauty she can be in DEEP trouble! Plus, the back to Hogwarts ball is next week! I bet a million boys have asked her!” sighed Harry.

            “We should go right up there and pull her away from the crowd! But we can’t, because she will ditch us and say we are acting like her mother and we should leave her alone!” said Ron.

            “She’s coming!” said Harry.

            “Hi Harry! Did you see what I got delivered this morning?” asked Hermione.

            “No,” said Harry, he rolled his eyes again.

            “It was a chocolate bouquet of CHOCOLATE roses!” boasted Hermione.

            “Whoopee, another admirer!” said Harry sarcastically.

            “I don’t enjoy that tone, Harry! Plus, all the dogs who follow me never go through the trouble to give me presents!” scoffed Hermione and she stuck her nose up.

            “Lets see! Jack gave you a big heart card and your favorite muggle movie. Socke wrote you a whole 50 page story and put a single rose on top. Bill sang you a so-“ started Ron and he was interrupted by Hermione.

            “That doesn’t matter, they didn’t have a grand entrance!” said Hermione.

            “I think I might give this guy a chance, who knows. He might be lucky enough to be my first kiss!” said Hermione, she flung her purse over her shoulder and pranced out of the Great Hall.

            “Mate, Hermione is corrupted. I also have a confession to make, I sent her the bouquet!” whispered Ron, he looked away in shame.

            “YOU WHAT!” shouted Harry as he got out of his chair and towered over the crouching Ron.

            “I’M SORRY! IDIDN’TMEANTO! Ithoughtitwouldmakeherbetter,” said Ron so fast that Harry just ran out of the Great Hall.

            A/N Ok well, I know it isn’t the longest thing you have ever read, and it isn’t so great, but I think this will keep you fed till the next meal! I hope you enjoyed this little filler chapter. It did introduce a new guy, but you don’t know him!
