Chapter 5
Harry sighed loudly, but it was a happy sigh. He gently nuzzled Hermiones shoulder from his position on the couch.
"Hi." Hermione said, smiling at him as she looked over at him.
"Hi." he chuckled.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked.
"I was thinking about Spree. It's been five months you know...and she said she'd try and visit and I haven't seen her once. I'm a bit worried." he said.
Hermione frowned a bit, "I know...I'm sure she's just busy."
"Yeah. I hope your right." Harry said wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer.
"Me too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry woke up with a start. He could hear someone calling his name urgently.
"Harry! Harry!!!" the voice whispered.
Harry looked to his left and saw Spree standing on his bed side table looking happy but a tad annoyed that it had taken so long for him to wake up.
"Spree!" he whispered sitting up and leaning over so he could hear her better, "Hi! How are you?"
Spree grinned, "I'm GREAT! I got the debt payed off! I'm soo glad! I'll be so much more careful next time!! And have I got a suprise for you! Or should I say...a suprise for Hermione!"
"For Hermione?" Harry asked.
Spree nodded and flopped down in a pile on his quill, "I've got this friend..and she wants to see what I do here. So I thought...maybe Hermione would like a sprite friend?" she asked, a hopeful look on her face.
"I bet she'd love one!" Harry exclaimed, "That'd be great!"
Spree giggled, "Great! Now tell me...how IS Hermione?" she asked giving him a knowing look.
Harry blushed a little, "Fine." he said.
"And Mia?" Spree asked.
"Ah..yes Mia...she's grown."he said.
"Still hugging you?" Spree teased.
"Unfortunetly..."
Spree laughed outright at the look on Harrys face. It was one that if it were words would be 'I'm-really-quite-pleased-that-Mia-likes-me-but-I-don't-want-her-to-hug-me. It-recks-my-image.'
Harry made a face, "Alright so what's this friend of yours' name?" he asked changing the subject.
"Oh you're going to like it." Spree said knowingly.
"What is it?" he asked skeptical.
"Mya."
"Oh dear god..Mia, Mya and Mione." he whined.
Spree giggled nodding, "Thought you'd be...pleased."
"Oh I'm boucing off the walls." he said sarcastically.
Spree stuck her tongue out at him, "You've become rude while I was away!" she exclaimed suddenly, "I'm going to have to tell Hermione to yank that chain of yours more often. The lock is becoming rusty!"
"I am NOT under lock and key!" Harry said defensvely.
"Of course your not dear." Spree said patronisingly.
Harry sulked, "I'm not."
"Yank yank."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"One for me?" Hermione squealed happily jumping up and down, "What's her name?"
"Mya." Harry said raising an eyebrow, "You're really pleased huh?"
Hermione nodded, "Course I am!!" She bent over to pick Mia up, who had been tugging at Hermiones leg for a minute.
Harry gave Mia a small pat on the head, "I'm glad." he said smiling and leaned in to gently kiss Hermione on the lips.
Hermione smiled and then passed him Mia, "She's hungry." she said, "And you're the only one who can feed her."
Mia smiled happily, "I wuv Harry." she said hugging him.
Harry laughed awkwardly, "What have you been teaching her?" he asked.
Hermione laughed loudly, "Actually she picked that up herself."
"I don't belive you." Harry said and Hermione just gave him a cheeky smile.
"Alright then Mia. Lunch time." he said sitting down crossed legged and held up a bottle of Snoffle formula.
She opened her mouth and gently suckled on the tip. When she had finished the bottle Harry lifted her up and gently rubbed her back, Mia let out a little burp and then a giggle. Harry smiled down at her fondly, "Nap time." he said quietly, rocking her from side to side.
Mia yawned and grabbed onto his hand with her tail and instantly fell asleep.
"Aw what a good surrogate father you are." someone said from behind him.
Harry looked to the right and saw Spree perched on his shoulder, "Thanks." he said, pride filled his voice.
Spree giggled, "She's cute."
"I know."
"You're cute!"
"I kn-wait..thanks." Harry laughed quietly.
Hermione approached Harry from the left, "Hey Spree." she said quietly.
"Hi Hermione! Has Harry told you about Mya yet?" Spree asked, fluttering over to Harrys other shoulder so she could talk to Hermione easier.
"Yeah. That's so great! I can't wait to meet her!" Hemione said smiling.
Spree fluttered down onto Harrys hand as Hermione inched closer to Harry who smiled and looked up at her, planting a kiss on her lips before looking back down at Mia.
"She's so cute." Spree said looking down at her, "She looks just like you Harry!" she said.
Harry laughed, "Gee thanks."
"I mean she's got your messy hair."
"It's called fur." Harry said.
"Fur, hair, same difference!" Spree said ignoring the look he was giving her.
"Hmph." Harry said, sulking a little.
"Well I think your messy hair is sexy.' Hermione said running a hand through it and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Harry smiled a leaned over so he could press his lips gently against Hermiones, "You always know what to say to make me feel better." he said smiling and resting his forehead against hers.
Spree turned around and looked at Harry, "You know..." she said thoughtfully, "You'd make a good father."
Harry looked down at Spree and spluttered, "Father?" he choked and then looked at Hermione frantically, "There's nothing that you want to tell me is there? Nothing that Spree is hinting at?" he asked, fully panicked.
Hermione laughed loudly at the look of fright on Harrys face, "No nothing hon. Spree was just commenting weren't you Spree?"
Spree gave Harry a thoughtful look and turned back around to look at Mia, "Mmm." she said.
Harry gave Hermione a freaked out look, "You don't sound too sure." he said nervously.
Spree raised an eyebrow, put her hands on her hips and said, "Well I am! It was a comment that you're supposed to be pleased about. Now quit freaking out like a little three year old!" she said flatly, putting him in his place, then turning to Hermione she said, "What have I told you about putting him in his place?" she demanded, "Pull on the chain!"
Harry glared at her, "I'm not on a chain!! Stop saying that!"
Spree shook her head at Harry patronisingly, "Of course you're not dear. I won't say it again." she said giving him a false smile and then giving Hermione a 'You-know-what-I-mean' look.
"I'm not on a chain." Harry muttered.
Hermione slid her arm through his, "Of course you're not." she said soothingly.
"I'm not you know."
"I know."
"Because I'm my own-"
"Harry." Hermione interrupeted, "I know."
"Good."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia!" Mia squealed.
Harry froze and turned around, "No no no! Mia what are you doing here! You're supposed to stay with Hagrid!" he said picking the little snoffle up before she was stepped on by passing students.
"Harry! Mia!" She said happily and hugged him.
"Uh...what a nightmare. Come on then...I'll drop you off at Hagrids and then I'll be late for Transfiguration...maybe if I run.." Harry thought and took off for Hagrids.
"Hagrid!" Harry said pounding on the door.
"Harry! I'm really sorry! I don't know where she went! I've looked everywhere. She's-oh you got her then." Hagrid said stopping when he saw Mia in Harrys arms.
"She was inside..." Harry said holding her out for Hagrid to take, "Bye Mia. I've got to go to class." Harry said patting her on the head and prying her tail off his hand.
Mia instantly started crying.
"Now now. Don't cry." Hagrid said trying to get her to stop.
"Harrrrry." Mia cried.
Harry sighed heavily, turned around again and said, "Mia I've got to go to class! I'm already late!"
Mia sniffed and stuck out her bottom lip.
"I'll visit you at lunch time." he said and with a nod to Hagrid ran flat out to the castle to Transfiguration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well I'm so glad you finally decided to join us Mr. Potter." McGonagall said sternly as Harry ran into the room, completely breathless.
"I'm sorry...Professer...one of Hagrids...snoffles got out...and I had to go....and give her back." Harry said gasping for breath.
Professer McGonagall frowned, "Sit down Mr.Potter." she said and turned back to the blackboard, "See me after class."
Harry slumped down in a seat beside Ron who gave him a sympathetic glance, "Aw man." he moaned quietly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It wasn't me fault Spree! I swear it's 'Pick on Potter' day." Harry moaned.
"'Pick on Potter' day? Get a grip Harry! You got a detention in every class! Okay you got one in Potions unfairly but that's the way it goes!" Spree said shaking her head at him exasperatedly.
"They were all unfair!" Harry exclaimed loudly.
"They were not! You were late for Transfiguration-"
"Because of Mia." Harry interrupted.
"- you didn't do your Charms homework." Spree continued ignoring him.
"I tried! I just got it wrong!"
"You weren't paying attention in defense against the dark arts." Spree continued counting them off on her fingers.
"Alright! Alright! I get the point!" Harry yelled throwing his hands up in the air, "I'm a bad student who got loads of detentions today."
"Look on the bright side." Spree said smiling from ear to ear.
"Whats the bright side?" Harry asked in a pouting voice.
"You only lost twenty house points."
"Arg!" Harry growled and threw his pillow at Spree who collasped on the floor.
"Meanie!" she said pouting and folding her arms.
"Am not."
"Are too!
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"One!"
"To-wait..."
"Hahaha gotcha!" Harry said triumphantly.
"Arg your such a pain in the-"
"Thank you." Harry interrupted grinning.
