Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Fun time in Hogwarts
-----Hogwarts--------
The new mark of uchiha's photo is everywhere in the newspaper. Every wizard newspaper published it. All the students are talking about it.
Harry is waiting for the first class to begin. He is waiting for Prof. McGonagall to come and start her class. Students are coming and filling the benches. Ron and Hermione also came on time and they came near Harry. Hermione hugged Harry tightly. She never felt anything awkward about it.
"Welcome Hermione. I never know you are coming," Harry said to Hermione. Ron just watched from sidelines.
"I wanted to keep it a secret. But it is quite difficult to catch you. I searched everywhere for you. Even I didn't go to library, do you believe it," Hermione said to Harry. She wanted to take some book from library for self study.
"You should have come to library. I was there the whole time. You didn't have to go everywhere in search of me," Harry said to Hermione. Both Hermione and Ron looked at Harry as if they have seen a rare animal.
"But you never went to library early in the morning," Ron said to Harry. He never saw him going to library before class. That is Hermione's job.
"I pay my visit to library once or twice a day. You don't know what kind of new thing you may discover. I learned a lot of new spells from library," Harry said to Ron. Hermione watched them without saying anything. She definitely missed a lot of action while admitted in the Hospital.
"Sometime you feel like a different person. You have a very different vibe now. You have changed a lot in the last month," Ron said to Harry. While looking at the books of Harry.
"Different is the wrong word Ron. You can say I evolved after facing some difficult circumstances. Life is not fair like most believe. You just have to evolve time after time," Harry said to his friends. He is waiting for the class to start. Harry picked another book to read.
"I find it odd whenever you read a book like that. You are becoming more like Hermione and I cannot differentiate between both of you," Ron said to Harry. He doesn't have a habit to see harry doing the same thing like Hermione. It is one thing that, frustrating him a lot.
" Do you like Hermione in that way? My reading reminds you of Hermoine and her habits . Then you might have imagined me in her place and then it frustrated you even more," Harry said to Ron. Which is also heard by Hermoine. Ron couldn't think of anything to answer it.
" Are you thinking that Harry is taking my place? Or something like that. Comparing one friend with another friend," Hermoine said to Harry and Ron. She find nothing wrong with their statement.
"Maybe Ron has a crush on you. He is imagining me as his crush sometime. That frustrates him whenever I read book in front of him. In his mind I am taking your place which confuse him a lot," Harry said to them. Ron is too late to interrupt him. Hermione looked at Ron and almost blushed for some reason.
" I thought you have a crush on Hermione," Ron said while defending himself. He can see, Hermione has the full attention on him. So he tried to divert it to Harry.
"I don't see her that way. Don't blame me for your thoughts. Maybe I look her the same way, you look at Ginny. And don't drag me in your love matters. In future don't get confused between Hermione and me. That feeling doesn't match my taste," Harry said to Ron in one breath. Hermione and Ron were quick to understand what Harry wanted to say to them. Harry wanted to avoid any future jealousy from Ron.
"Bloody hell. Mate what just you said," Ron said to Harry. He is always confused about his feeling for Hermione. But today Harry almost exposed him infront of Hermione.
"Do you remember I am still here? Talking about a girl in front of her. Besides we are only 12," Hermoine said to both her best friends. She is not ready for this kind of conversation.
"I know we are 12. But both of you bicker like couples from the start of the first year. That reminds me when Draco tried to say something to her this year who was the first guy who stepped forward to hex him. It is Ronald Weasley," Harry said to Hermione. Ron is on the receiving end of Harry's statements. Both Hermione and Ron couldn't deny the facts presented by Harry. They chose to remain silent.
Harry looked on his side and saw Neville Long bottom and Dean Thomas are looking at him.
"Neville and Dean who fight like couple's in our whole Gryffindor house. Tell them so they can believe my words," Harry said to his roommates. Both of them suddenly found themselves in terrible situation. Hermione and Ron looked at them for answers.
"They do fight like couples. My mom and dad do the same thing all the time when they don't agree with each other," Dean said to them. He told them clearly.
"I find it odd. When they fight, argue and make up with each other very soon. But...Hermione never fought like that with Harry. Actually she never fought or argued with Harry," Neville said to them after gathering a lot of courage. Before they can say anything more the Ravenclaw students arrived. And soon Prof. McGonagall arrived after them.
"Best of luck Ron, you need it," Dean said to Ron. And decided to look towards the professor. Hermione and Ron decided not to talk about that subject at this time.
The whole class greeted Professor. After that she started to explain about her class for the day. She gave them the class assignment of transfiguring a simple rock into a beautiful flower which has a sweet fragrance.
Harry overdid the assignment due to recent events. He transformed the rock into a bunch of different flowers which gave a nice fragrance.
" I only told you to transform the rock into one flower but you did a nice job by making it into multiple different flowers. It has quite a unique fragrance. 20 points for Gryffindor. Try not to do overdo your transfiguration next time Mr. Potter," Prof. McGonagall said to Harry. She went to see another student's transfiguration.
"How did you do it, mate? Tell me," Ron asked Harry. The another boys around him are also looking at Harry.
"Imagination is the key for transfiguration. The more you see it clearly, the better you will transfigure. You should think about the flower you want to give to Hermione. Maybe if your love is true then you can transfigure it," Harry said to Ron. His friend doesn't want to say anything to Harry. But Hermione is getting irritated by the teasing of Harry. She never thought he will tease her in the middle of a class.
" Shut up Harry," Hermione said to Harry and went back to transfigure the rock. She immediately finished her transfiguration while blushing. But what surprised her is the Ron really transfigured the rock before her into a pair of sunflower.
" Neville, see our suspicion is correct," Harry said to Neville. Who looked back and saw the transformation. Prof. McGonagall saw the commotion and came back.
" I am not surprised by Hermione transfiguration but you surprised me by your improvement. 20 points again for Gryffindor, for both of your transfiguration. And five more points for your efforts Mr. Weasley," Professor McGongall said to Hermione and Ron. She went back. Harry wanted to laugh so hard when he saw the face of Ron.
"Your love has power, Ron," Dean said to Ron teasingly. Hermione wants to run away from that class but couldn't. She will never forget this day in her life.
"Harry, we will talk about this later," Hermione said to Harry in a serious tone.
"I am busy Hermione. You see I have to go and find a girlfriend now. Maybe it is good to be in love. I should ask my seniors for some tips. I should ask Angelina, Alicia or Katie about how to date a girl. I will definitely do it," Harry said to Hermione. She wanted to smack him for not asking help from her.
"Why not ask me?" Hermione said to Harry. She never saw him as an outspoken person.
"You just told me you are only 12. But I want to ask girls who are 14 or 15. I also want to learn how to dance , So nothing can embarass me later on," Harry said to his friends. Suddenly a revelation hit Ron, Dean and Neville. They don't know how to dance.
"Bloody hell, I don't know how to dance. Mate if you find a person who can teach us how to dance. Please let me know," Ron said to Harry helplessly. He then saw the face of Hermione who looks disappointed for some reason. But didn't said anything to him.
" I also want to learn to dance. Don't forget about me," Neville said to Harry in a low tone. Dean decided to ask him later because of the attention they are getting from other students.
" Okay, I will tell you Neville. And Ron you should have asked Fred and George. They are professional at dancing. They can help their own brother in their free time," Harry said to Ron.
They stopped their talking for writing the notes . They are still in the class room.
After the class Harry left the classroom quickly before Hermione can catch him. She wanted to scold him. Neville and Dean went together after Harry. Now she has to go with Ron. And their is a awkward silence between them.
-----Afternoon------
Harry went to gear up for his practice for quidditch. Fred, George and Oliver are already in the changing room.
"Harry, you are just on time," Oliver said to Harry. He looks happy about something.
" Did Prof. McGongall accepted the proposal for morning practice," Harry asked him. He started to change in quidditch gear.
" Yeah, it went better by the way. I didn't have to explain her everything," Oliver said to Harry. After they changed the went to ground and they met with their chasers who are fully geared up.
"You look quite happy today, Harry. Did something interesting happened?" Fred asked Harry while walking.
"I find out why Ron and Hermione are always fighting. It didn't end up as I pleased. Instead of thanking me they are chasing me after the class. I have to run after my classes. But I didn't forget the look of Ron's face. It was hilarious and I wanted to laugh in the middle of our class," Harry said to Fred and George. Twins looked at him suspiciously.
" Don't tell me, you find out that our little brother Ron has found himself a girlfriend. And that girl is Hermione," George asked Harry. He quickly understood the situation.
"Actually he is quite shy for that. I just pointed out that they fight like couple's. Then during transfiguration class I told him that if his love is true then he will be able to transfigure a rock into a flower and he did it before Hermione. Then I teased them a little and Hermione wanted to scold me. So I am running from her after my classes," Harry said to twins. Even the three girls were listening to their conversation.
"It looks we found some blackmail material," Fred said to George. Both grinned at each other. The made a mental note to tease their little brother about his crush later on the same day.
"Angelina, do you know how to dance?" Harry asked Angelina. He asked her with great expectations.
"I know how do dance. Why are asking me?" Angelina asked Harry. She never thought that Harry will ask her something. Outside of quidditch match they never talked about anything.
"Can you teach me how to dance?" Harry asked her. She thought for a moment.
"I can teach you how to dance. But you know I don't have any free time," Angelina said to Harry. She really doesn't have any free time.
"What about Alicia and katie? Do you have free time to teach me how to dance?" Harry asked other girls.
" I am as busy as Angelina," Alicia said to Harry. She is in the same class as Angelina.
"I can teach you in my free time, Harry," Katie said to Harry. She is a year older than Harry. And Harry and Katie joined the quidditch team on the same time.
"Thank you Katie, you are life saver. I didn't know what my future wife would have said if she know I couldn't dance. Don't worry I will send you a nice dress this Christmas for your dance classes," Harry said to Katie in a dramatic way. The girls just laughed at his words.
" Aren't you too young for a wife or girlfriend Harry?" Angelina said to Harry.
"I have seen the power of love today. Let's see how it feels to date a girl. Katie let's go on a date," Harry said to Katie. The girls looked at him as if he is pranking them.
"I have a boyfriend, Harry," Katie said to Harry. She didn't want any rumors to spread around.
" No problem, Let's take your boyfriend on our date too. We can take our whole team on a date. I will date everyone and I will feel the power of love," Harry said to them in a childish tone. At least he has to pretend a little for not knowing anything about date. For them he is Harry a 12 year child.
"It looks like you doesn't know anything about dating. We have to teach you a lot of things," Oliver said to Harry. Girls were too shocked to answer him.
"What about kissing? Will you teach me that too?" Harry asked Oliver. Fred and George wanted to laugh loudly. Oliver teaching Harry how to kiss. Girls did not hold back their laughter.
"Harry we will talk about this later," Oliver said to Harry. He cannot explain such things infront of girls. Harry saw a beautiful girl from the ravenclaw house is coming from another side.
" Hello, sunshine. What is your name?" Harry said to that girl politely. She stopped and looked at him for few seconds.
"Cho Chang," Cho said to Harry. She already know about Harry. She is one year above him. Harry took her right hand and kissed on it.
"Let's date each other. I will be waiting for you this Christmas. Owl me your address. So I can pick you up for our date," Harry said to her. He didn't know he can be so bold.
"Okay," Cho Chang said to Harry. Someone asked her directly and she doesn't want to refuse it. It is the first time someone asked her for a date directly. Mostly people are shy around her to talk to her. Some people send her love letters but she never replied them back.
"See you later, cho," Harry said and walked away with his team. Cho looked back for few seconds and after he disappeared she walked back towards Ravenclaw common room.
----Back with Harry------
"That is very bold of you, Harry," Angelina said to Harry. She never saw a boy who can boldly ask a girl for date in their first meeting except Fred and George.
" Did I do it right? I saw it somewhere. A guy walking towards a girl confidently and asking for date. Then the girl says yes. It matches my character. I should ask her for kissing lessons later. I would not feel good if I have to kiss Oliver. It should be gross," Harry said to his teammates. He wanted to joke a little with his quidditch team.
"I am not a bad kisser but it will feel gross if I have to kiss you," Oliver said to Harry. The whole team is laughing at his statement. They reached to the practice ground.
