Chapter 2 - Many Celebrations
Before Hermione could get halfway down the hall leading away froe due dungeons, she could hear Ron snickering. She turned sharply, still thoroughly embarrassed.
\"Ronald Weasley, you shut your mouth this instant, or I will shut it for you!\" Hermione cried indignantly.
\"Sorry \'Mione, it\'s just...\" Ron burst out into a fit of laughter when he saw Harry stifle a grin, \"Were you really...looking at Snape\'s...anatomy?\" Ron asked while still trying to catch his breath from laughing.
Hermione squared her jaw defiantly and gave her \'Death Glare\' to Ron. Harry could no longer hold in his laughter and snorted loudly through his nose. This only caused Ron to laugh even harder.
She crossed her arms over her chest, clearly un-amused by their childish behavior and waited for them to get control. Ron wiped the tears out of his eyes as Harry elbowed him and apologized.
\"Sorry \'Mione, we don\'t mean to laugh at you. Just think, if it was Harry or I he snarked at you\'d be laughing too...\" Ron tried his best to comfort her.
Hermione let out an exasperated breath she\'d been holding and admitted, \"Yes, I suppose I would...are you two ready? The feast is due to start in a few minutes.\"
\"Hang on\" Harry chimed in, \"You never answered Ron\'s question! I promise we\'ll never speak of it again if you tell us...\" Harry urged her
\"Oh you can\'t be serious!\" Hermione looked at them pointedly. She could see this was an argument she clearly wasn\'t going to win; but \'They don\'t need to know the whole truth either...\' she mused.
Ron and Harry looked at her pleady way waiting for her answer.
\"Well, I wasn\'t checking out professor Snape if that\'s what you mean. I was thinking and sort of staring off into space, which just happened to be in his general direction...happy?\" She spat.
Grudgingly, knowing they\'d never get her to admit it, they resumed their walk towards the Great hall for the end of year feast.
**********
The feast in the Great hall was the same as every other year they\'d attended Hogwart\'s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, except this year an air of sadness and excitement was almost tangible in the enchanted room. Graduation ceremony was but a week away, and many close friendships would most likely come to an end as they went their separate ways in the world. Classes were now officially over, but the seventh years, such as Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to still take their N.E.W.T.S.
\"When are you scheduled to take your N.E.W.T.S Harry?\" Hermione asked casually.
\"I have Divination Monday evening...\" Harry began
Hermione rolled her eyes thinking briefly on her short experience with that twit of a Professor, Sybil Trelawney. That class was a sad joke in her opinion.
\"Herbology Tuesday afternoon, Transfiguration Wednesday morning, Care of magical creatures Wednesday night, Charms Thursday night, and potions Saturday morning.\" Harry finished.
\"What about Defense Against the Dark Arts?\" Ron asked him.
\"Dumbledore said I was exempt. He felt I have had enough experience with that one.\" Harry said distantly as he studied the knots in the wooden table.
Ron and Hermione were quiet for a moment interpreting Harry\'s meaning before Hermione changed the subject.
\"Well at least you have one whole day to study Potions before your exam! From what I\'ve heard the potion N.E.W.T. is the most difficult.\"
\"Yeah\" Harry nodded absentmindedly. He\'d rather not take the Potions exam at all, but he had little choice in the matter.
\"What about you, Ron?\" Hermione asked shifting the focus to Ron.
\"Same as Harry except I have Defense Against the Dark Arts on Friday afternoon.\"
\"Oh. Professor McGonagall said I could use the time turner again so that I can essentially take both my Arithmancy and Charms N.E.W.T.S at the same time.\" Hermione said distractedly as she glanced over to the head table to see if they would begin announcements soon.
\"Blimey\" Ron said as he shook his head, \"I still think she\'s mental!\" Harry smiled and winked at Hermione. He knew that she would be successful in any profession she chose to pursue.
Dumbledore stood to make the end of year announcements as the students went silent.
\"Welcome students, to the end of year feast. I have a few announcements I\'d like to make before we award the House Cup.\" Dumbledore scanned the room over his half-moon spectacles and continued, \"I\'d like to first wish the best of luck and good fortune to the Seventh years at their impending commencement. You have all worked very hard and will make fine assets to our wizarding community. Second, I would like to congratulate Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley for being accepted by the Ministry of Magic to the Auror Academy.\" Dumbledore signaled for Harry and Ron to stand as the students applauded them. As the applause slowed, Dumbledore continued, \"And to Miss Hermione Granger, I offer congratulations for being offered a position at the Ministry itself in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department.\" The students once again clapped and cheered loudly as Hermione stood smiling.
\"And now onto the House Cup.\" Dumbledore said as he took the proffered scroll from Minerva McGonagall. \"In fourth place, with a total of 327 points, Hufflepuff House.\" Applause sounded throughthe the Great Hall for the efforts of all the students.
\"In third place, with a total of 348 points, Ravenclaw House.\" Dumbledore announced as one again applause and cheers echoed through the hall. The Gryffindors and the Slytherins chattered excitedly swapping heated glares across the table as they waited to see whom the victor would be.
\"In second place, and this was almost a tie, with 397 points, Slytherin House.\" Chaos broke out amongst the Gryffindors as they clapped each other on the back on a job well done. The Slytherins, most displeased, sank lower into their chairs as their brooding head of House looked at them disappointedly. Hermione, breaking away from the cheering of her fellow Gryffindors, stole a quick glance at the head table and locked eyes with Snape. Sheldn\ldn\'t make out what emotions flitted across his face, but he turned away quickly to glare at one of his Slytherins. She pushed her thoughts aside and rejoined the Gryffindor Revelry.
\"And last but certainly not least,\" Dumbledore admonished with the trademark twinkle in his blue eyes, \"In first place, with a total of 401 points, Gryffindor House! Job well done!\" The Gryffindors continued their applause as the banners overhanging the tables all shimmered to the appearance of the Gryffindor Colors of burgundy and Gold with the House\'s mascot firmly in place.
\"Let the feast Begin!\" Dumbledore announced as he spread his arms in a wide arc causing a smorgasbord of food to pile high on all the long tables.
\"What a way to end the year!\"mus mus Finnegan clapped Ron on the back and congratulated him and Harry on their upcoming Auror training.
**********
Severus Snape sat in an old wingback chair in front of his fireplace later that evening, glass of fire whiskey in hand. No matter how he tried, he couldn\'t push the image of that girl from his mind. The sight of her full, pouty lips parted slightly with the tip of her quill lightly brushing over them and then down her neck was enough to drive him mad. She was a student for Merlin\'s sake! Not just any student, none r thr than Harry Potter\'s little sidekick that infuriating know-it-all Hermione Granger.
\'Well, not so little anymore...and no longer a student.\' He thought to himself. He couldn\'t fathom why she would be looking at him of all people like that; she clearly wasn\'t daydreaming about schoolwork, she had a look of pure lust in her eyes. He had been tempted to give her a detention so that he may use Occulemens on her to find out just what it was she had been thinking about, but thought better of it knowing he\'d have a difficult time controlling himself at what he\'d see there. Grudgingly, he had dmitdmit she had most definitely grown up and filled out quite nicely.
\'No doubt she must have experimented on Potter and Weasley...\' he thought to himself, \'they wouldn\'t know what to do if they had a fully illustrated set of instructions in front of them. Seduction is an art form; a skill that can be finely tuned and perfected given the right partn'
'
Snape shook his head. these thoughts weren\'t appropriate. She would be graduated in a week\'s time and she wouldn\'t give him another glance, he was sure. As he drained his glass of fire whiskey, he decided he should make an appearance at Order headquarters to speak with Dumbledore about his latest research project. He stood, straightened his inky black robes, and apparated to 12 Grimmauld place.
***********
Hermione, Harry, and Ron had arrived at Grimmauld Place a little over an hour ago with all of their belongings. Remus Lupin, who had been taking care of the house since Sirius\' passing, showed them to their rooms for the summer.
\"So, this is really gonna be your house, is it Harry?\" Ron asked while admiring the room he and Harry would share until they left for the Auror Academy.
\"Yeah, I figure I\'ll live here after we finish training, but I want this place to remain the headquarters for the Order. With so many people coming and going, I won\'t have time to be lonely.\" Harry said distantly as he unpacked his trunk.
Ron nodded in understanding. It had only been two years since Sirius was killed in the battle at the Ministry, and Harry still mourned him. Ron felt terrible that just when Harry had found someone he considered to be the closest thing to family, they were taken from him. "Har"Harry, I hope you know we all consider you part of the family, and there is something that mum wanted me to talk to you about.\" Ron said as he sat on the bed and watched Harry finish unpacking.
\"Yeah? What\'s that, Ron?\" Harry asked nonchalantly thinking it was going to have to do with Molly Weasley\'s concern for Harry living in this big house all by himself.
\"Mum wanted to know...if...well, you don\'t have to, it\'s just that...\" Ron started nervously.
\"Spit it out Ron? What did she want to know?\" Harry asked as he sat next to him on the four-poster bed.
\"Well, she wanted to know how you\'d feel about us adopting you...legally. She asked me to talk to you about it because you are my best friend. You know mum and dad love you as much as they love me, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, and even Percy the git, right?\"
Harry looked down at the floor, concentrating on a scuffmark on his shoe, deep in thought. Ron was sure he\'d say no, because he thought Harry would feel like he was betraying his parents by calling someone else \'mum or dad\'. After a moment he looked back up at his best friend, eyes blurred with unshed tears.
\"I\'d love it, Ron. I\'ve never had a family before really, and yours has always made me feel loved and wanted. I\'ll always miss my parents and Sirius, but I know they\'d want me to be happy and loved. I also think they\'d be proud to know it was your family Ron.\"
Ron hugged his best friend fiercely, \"Oh Harry you\'ve always been like a brother to me and now you really can be. Mum and dad will be so happy you feel this way.\" Ron said as his eyes mistedr. r.
Harry smiled at Ron. He couldn\'t have asked for a better graduation present. His dreams of being part of a loving family had been shattered the night Voldomort killed his parents, but now, it seemed those dreams would finally come true after all. He couldn\'t think of a better family to be a part of than the Weasley\'s. For all their faults, they shared so much love and pride.
Ron and Harry both jumped as a popping noise was heard, and Fred and George apparated out of thin air.
\"Oi, Ron, did you tell Harry and Hermione about the surprise?\" George asked excitedly.
\"Er...yeah. Not much though, since I didn\'t know what you two were up to...\" Ron answered.
\"Where\'s \'Mione?\" Fred asked Harry and Ron.
Ron shrugged, \"Still in her room I suppose.\"
\"What about me?\" Hermione said from the doorway smiling. \"So what\'s this \'surprise\' you two have planned? Although I\'m not sure I should ask...\" Hermione asked the twins.
George smiled wickedly as he held his two arms behind his back, \"Tonight\'s entertainment,\" George started
\"In honor of your graduation,\" Fred continued
\"Is to have a bloody good time tonight!\" George finished as he thrust the full bottle of fire whiskey out in front of him with the muggle CD player in the other hand.
Fred stepped forward and produced a deck of cards, \"Cards anyone?\" he said wa mia mischievous smile.
Hermione\'s eyes widened. \"Wherd yod you get that radio?\" she said in utter fascination. She never saw muggle items such as a CD player other than when she visited her parents in London, which was few, far, and in between.
Fred looked down at it and said, \"Swiped it from Dad\'s office, fuck all if I know how the bloody thing works...\"
Hermione smiled, \"Let\'s see it then.\"
