Chapter 3
Harry picked up the picnic basket and groaned slightly under the weight, "By the amount they packed you'd think we were an army." he joked.
Hermione laughed, "Well with the amount you and Ron eat I'm not suprised." she said poking him in the stomach.
Harry and Hermione were walking hand in hand, looking for the perfect place on the grounds for a nice quiet picnic. Harry, spotting a nice little shady spot under a tree, gently tugged on Hermiones hand and walked over to the spot and set down the basket.
"It's such a beautiful day." Hermione said helping Harry spread out the blue and white check picnic blanket over the grass.
Harry smiled and nodded, "It's the perfect day for a picnic with the most beautiful girl on the planet." he said kissing Hermiones hand.
Hermione giggled a little and smiled, "So are you hungry?" she asked.
Harrys stomach rumbled, answering her question before Harry could, "Ehh...a little." Harry said , ignoring Hermione who was laughing at him.
Harry gestured to the smooth blanket, "Care for a seat milady?"
"Why thank you good sir." Hermione said sitting down, "This was such a wonderful idea."
Harry grinned and sat down opposite her, "Let's eat!" he said and opened the basket, pulling out goodies galore. Sandwhiches, chips, salads, candy, cake and other assortments of healthy and sugary goodies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh Harry today has been great." Hermione said, letting her head rest against his chest.
Harry wrapped his arms around her waist and let his head rest on her shoulder. They'd finished lunch hours ago and now had taken to sitting under the shade of the willow tree, staring out over the lake and watching the squid gently propell itself backwards and forwards.
"Hermione...last night...do you remember what I said?" Harry asked after a moment of silence.
"Of course I remember! I'll never forget it! It was the most romantic thing I've ever heard." Hermione sighed happily.
Harry grinned a little, "Yeah...well remember when I said that there were only a few things you didn't know about me...well I think now's the time to tell you some of them." Harry said, his voice serious again.
"Harry I really don't know what it is that I don't know about you. I mean you two tell me everything and anything you don't tell me I already now." Hermione said, sounding a little smug.
Harry laughed, "Yes...that's true in most cases but not in this case. You see...I don't really know how to say this without you thinking I've lost my mind..."
This got Hermiones attention. She pulled out of his arms and turned so she was facing him, "Harry?" she asked, a little concerned.
"Don't sound so worried love." Harry said, stroking her hand, "It's nothing bad."
Hermione let out a sigh of relief, "Then what is it?" she asked, a little curious.
"Well...alright...I have this...I mean...there's this sprite that is like....mine...except I don't own her or anything! I just...well yeah...her names Spree. And I wanted to tell you...about her that is...and she said that you can only see her if you believe." Harry said, realising he sounded a tad insane he added, "I'm not insane."
Hermione bit her lip to hold back laughter, "A sprite?" she asked a little disbelievingly.
"Fine don't believe me." Harry said, folding his arms and sulking a bit.
"Harry. I do believe you! Honestly. But a sprite? Why do you have a sprite?" Hermoine asked.
Harry shrugged, "I don't know."
"So where is she?" Hermione asked looking around, "Is she here?"
Harry shook his head, "No. I wanted to tell you without her being here."
Hermione nodded, "Well I'd like to meet this Spree."
Harry smiled widely at her, "Really? You mean it?"
Hermione laughed at his display, "Of course I mean it silly! I've never seen a sprite before. What's she like?"
Harry made a face, "She's...unlike anything I've ever met before...she's a real character. Can I ask you a question?" Harry asked.
Hermione nodded.
"What's with girls and nail files?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Spree?" Harry asked, poking his head around the door.
Spree sat up, "Harry! Hi! How did it go?" she asked.
Harry smiled, "Good. I told her."
"And?"
"She wants to meet you."
Spree smiled, "Alright then. Bring her up."
Harry winked at her and went to get Hermione.
"I hope she likes me." Spree muttered to herself, "Because if she doesn't Harry's in the deep end."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Now?" Hermione asked, "Right now?"
Harry nodded, "Yep! Come on. Spree's waiting."
Hermione climbed out of the armchair she was sitting in and put her book on the table, "Alright." she said, for some reason feeling a little nervous.
Harry led her up the stairs to his room and opened the door. Hermione looked around but she couldn't see anything other than Harrys expectant face.
"Um...is she here?" Hermione asked.
Harry looked at his bedside table, "Why can't she see you?" he asked.
Spree tapped her foot impatiently, "She doesn't believe you. If she can't see me she doesn't believe I'm here." she said.
Harry sighed, "Hermione. She's standing on my bedside table...I guess that you don't believe me though or you'd see her."
Hermione stared at Harrys bedside table, she squinted her eyes a little but couldn't see anything, "I believe you! Really I do!" she said.
Spree sighed and flopped down with a sigh, "I don't know why it's not working." she moaned.
Harry sighed as well and sat down on his bed beside Hermione.
"I'm really sorry." Hermione said, "I don't know why I can't see her."
Harry put an arm around her shoulders, "It's alright maybe it'll just take a while."
Spree pulled out her nail file, "Well if we're just going to sit here I'm going to file my nails." she said.
Harry rolled his eyes but just cleared his throat. Hermione was looking at her lap, disappointment filled her. Why couldn't she see the sprite? She really did believe Harry.
Hermione looked up to appologise again to Harry when a small golden object caught her eye, she blinked a couple of times and then gasped, "Wow! That's so amazing!"
Spree raised an eyebrow, "What is?" she asked looking around.
"Spree? I-I can see you!" Hermione said jumping up.
Spree giggled at Hermiones enthusiasm, "Hi." she said, putting her nail file away.
Harry smiled widely, "This is so great! I'm so glad you can see each other."
Hermione nodded, "So Spree...what's it like?"
"What's what like?" Spree asked.
"Having to put up with Harry every minute." Hermione said.
The two girls laughed as Harry started spluttering, "Put-put up with me? Don't team up! That's not fair!! HEY! Heyyyyyyy! Aw man."
"I think we'll get along just fine." Spree said, winking at Hermione.
"So...what exactly have you done to Harry thats made him ask nearly every Gryffindor girl what's so important about nail files?" Hermione asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So what did you think of Hermione?" Harry asked Spree later that night.
"I think she's fabulous. She has you under lock and key." Spree yawned.
"She does not!" Harry defended himself.
"Uh huh. Sure hon. Whatever you say." Spree teased, "Now I'm going to sleep. Don't stay up too late thinking lover-boy."
Harry grumbled to himself as he watched her roll over, wrap her wings around herself and her light that glowed around herself all the time go out, "I am NOT under lock and key."
