Erotic Confessions

“Good bait, Potter.”

“Whatever.”

“I want to ask you something Harry.”

Harry looked extremely tense.

“Did you have anythto dto do with Hermione getting that ring?”

The way Ron said RING made Harry’s ears want to burst.

“No…I did not.”

Harry’s face flushed and his lips started to quiver.

“You are LYING, aren’t you?”

“No Hermione’s mom gave her that ring, but I picked it out for her.”

“Oh no wonder you’ve been acting like a git.”

“Yeah…”

“Do you still want to be friends?”

Harry pondered this for a moment.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Whatever.”

Ron shuts the door.

Harry finishes getting dressed while thinking of the lie he told to his best friend. He feels guilty about lying to Ron, but then he’s also relieved because he feels like a layer has been lifted off of him.

Harry walks back out onto the Quidditch field and Hagrid bumps into him.

“Arry! There yeh are! I’ve bin meanin’ to talk to yeh! It’s bout Hermione.”

Harry looks extremely shocked and worried.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“It’s somethin’ bout yeh, I think we better go and talk in me cabin.”

“Ok.”

Hagrid and Harry walk to the cabin in a hurry and they suddenly bump into Malfoy.

“What are you doing Potter?”

“Talking to Hagrid about something.”

“Yeh, just because you’re Head Boy for Slytherin doesn’t mean yeh can intrude in yeh teacher’s conversation with a student.”

“Yes, it does Ruebus.”

“Excuse me, did you just call me Ruebus?”

“Yes, I did Ruebus.”

“Detention with McGonnagall for a whole week and you have to feed and clean all of my creatures! Yeh understand?”

“No, I don’t, I can’t understand anything you say.”

“All right that’s it, I’m taking you to Dumbledore for insubordination.”

Snape comes outside wondering what’s the fuss.

“Hagrid, I heard some yelling outside and I want to know who’s responsible for this commotion.”

“Malfoy”, said Harry.

“Did I ask you Mr. Potter?

“No, sir.”

Harry stepped away from Hagrid.

“Come back ‘ere ‘Arry! Don’t let Snape get to yeh!”

Harry slowly walks back towards Snape, Hagrid, and Malfoy.

“Hagrid, I just want to know why so much noise was made out of here.”

“Well Snape, Malfoy asked me and ‘Arry what we were doing and I told him we were talkin’ and asked what we were talkin’ about and I said “None of yeh business.”

“Oh.”

“I told him that he should have detention for a week and care for me pets.”

“Well, I think that punishment is too harsh Hagrid.”

“No it’s not.”

“Just let him care for your creatures.”

Snape winked at Malfoy.

“Or, I could accuse you of letting Harry out after hours.”

“Codswallob Snape, they wouldn’t believe you!”

“Yes, they would. Hagrid, I haven’t been expelled from Hogwarts like you have.”

Suddenly Hagrid turns bitter.

“Fine, care for my creatures for a whole week Malfoy.”

Draco smiled.

“Head Boys aren’t supposed to do detentions.”

“Well, I’ll tell Dumbledore to send a Prefect to cover for that week.”

Malfoy and Snape walked away together and Harry heard this bit of conversation.

“Draco, you know that you were wrong for interrogating your Professor about what he was doing with one of his students. I do not care how much you hate someone, but don’t ever, EVER try to use your authority to get your archenemy into trouble again!”

“But Professor----“

“I may not like Hagrid or Potter, but I heard you calling him Ruebus and that is very disrespectful. I am disappointed with you. Personally I think you should have detention with McGonnagall but since you were one of my favorite students, I had to let you off on something.”

“So you don’t like me anymore?”

By the time Draco asked that question, Harry couldn’t hear anymore of the conversation.

“Hagrid, did you hear them?”

“Yes, and I sure am glad you never became friends with that git!”

Harry and Hagrid walked into the cabin.

“Now Harry, I want to tell you somethin’ important bout Hermione.”

“What is it?”

Hagrid started to smile at Harry.

“Harry, I think she loves you.”

Harry looked completely blank because he already knew this.

“She loves me?”

“Yeh not surprised?”

“Oh, uh, yeah.”

“Could have fooled me ‘Arry.”

“Well, it just surprised me.”

“It shocked me too ‘Arry, she kept looking at you in a different way at the game. It was so surreal, I mean she was smiling and giggly and she never acts like that. The only time I’ve ever seen her like that was when she dated Viktor Krum.”

“Ok.”

“She really likes you ‘Arry, I think she might even luv yeh.”

“Oh, that’s interesting.”

“I think she dumped Ron because she loves you ‘Arry.”

Harry blushed and his face turned red.

“Maybe, I don’t know.”

“I think yeh may even like her too.”

“Not like that.”

“Well, I saw that she had a ring that her mom gave her a few years back…”

“She gave it to her for her birthday.”

“No she didn’t.”

“Yes she did.”

“I talked to her at the game and I asked her about it and she said that her mom gave her the ring while she was a Prefect.”

“Oh, well she’s right of course.”

Hagrid gave a strange look at Harry.

“Harry, do you have something to tell me?”

His eyes got deep and serious as Harry fiddled with his fingers.

“’Arry? I think you’re lyin’ bout the ring.”

Harry’s palms start to sweat and he bit his lip.

“Ow!”

“You’re lyin’ bout that ring!”

“I’m not Hagrid, I promise.”

“I have heard that you and Hermione have uh, met each other in her bedroom and yeh, uh, gave ‘er that ring.”

“Where did you hear that from?”

“Luna, Ron, a lot of people.”

“Well, you can’t believe everyone Hagrid!”

“I usually don’t but you guys have been spending a lot more time alone together. And yeh just left poor old Ron with that Loony girl.”

“Well Ron’s a nut too.”

“Harry, I just want you to tell me if you didn’t give Hermione an engagement ring.”

Harry spills his tea on his jeans as he tries to sip it.

“Hagrid, I’m so upset at you right now, but I am going to tell you the truth.”

“Yeh?”

“I proposed to Hermione last night.”
