Harmione Story Chapter 3 - Tony

Harry was ready to get out of the castle and the next Hogsmeade trip would give him just that opportunity. Harry searched through his trunk and found his old dress robes that he wore to The Yule Ball, he held them up, “These definitely won’t fit me anymore” Said Harry, oh well, He could just sell the old ones and get new ones when they went to Hogsmeade, He folded everything up and put it in his book bag and headed out to find Ron. Ron was sitting in the common room playing chess with Dean, I was the first time in weeks Harry had seen him without Lavender, “Hey there Ron, Dean”

“Hey Harry” Said Dean,

Ron turned around “Oh! Harry! Wanna take a turn? You can go after I beat Dean here” Harry saw the scattered remains of the chess pieces stone all over the table he had no idea who was winning “I think I’m good, I’m not that good at chess anyways, Hey, Ron, Where's Lavender? I thought you were always together?”

“She and Padma went to the owlery, she told me she ordered me a surprise”

“Oh” said Harry “Anyway, do you want to come with me and Hermione-” Harry was cut off by the sound of squealing and giggling coming from the Gryffindor entrance, Lavender and Padma, Lavender came inside with a large brown package and handed it to Ron,

“Here you go, my won won” and kissed him on the cheek, Ron ripped into the package revealing a pinkish stuffed bear “Thanks Lav!” Said Ron, Harry started to feel awkward and left. Hogsmeade was a lot less crowded than Harry was expecting, He walked into Gladrags Wizardwear

“Hello, Welcome to Gladrags how may we help you” Said the shopkeeper,

“Hello, yes I would like to turn in these old dress robes and I would like to buy some new ones” The shopkeeper examined Harry’s robes and nodded “Yes, yes these are in adequate condition unfortunately we don’t have any robes ready yet come back in a couple hours” Harry was then rushed out the door by a gust of wind.

“Harry!” Hermione was running at him “What are you doing at Gladrags? I thought we were meeting up at the three broomsticks?” Harry wrapped his arm around Hermione's shoulders and they kept walking forward

“I had to get some new dress robes, my old ones don’t fit me anymore”

Hermione turned her head in a sideways smile “And you thought they would? Harry, those are from two years ago!”

“I know, I know, I should have thought it over”

“Or you could’ve asked me and I could’ve thought it over for you”

“*That* would’ve been the smartest thing I could do” They both laughed and entered The Three Broomsticks, they got a table and ordered two Butterbeers and started taking and laughing,

“You know, when I was six I read Matilda, and the next minute all the books were flying of my bookshelf” Hermione said

“Well, when I was ten, I turned my teachers wig blue and apparated onto the roof!”

Hermione nearly choked on her drink “You apparated when you were *ten?* That’s incredible Harry! It’s hard to apparate, even harder to do it by accident”

“Yeah, I’ve had a lot of weird mess ups throughout my life” Hermione nodded, then seemed to have a sudden realization took out a copy of Old and Forgotten Bewitchments and Charms

“You should look through this, it helped me with Charms Class and it can probably explain why you’re so good at apparating” Harry nodded, smiling

“Thanks Hermione!”

“No problem” That's when Cormac came in. He walked over to their table and put his hands on Hermione’s shoulders making her look very uncomfortable “You don’t mind if I steal her away for a moment? Do you Harry?” Harry wanted to punch him in his teeth

“You should ask her” he said through gritted teeth. Cormac gave a cocky grin and walked Hermione over to the bar where they sat down and talked, Hermione flashed Harry a little worried smile and a thumbs up. Harry wanted to walk up to Hermione and have her explain to him why she even tolerated him, but he knew he couldn’t fight her battles for her so he went back to drinking his butterbeer alone.
