Part 12
Harry's pov
It's been a couple weeks since I saw the dragons in the forbidden forest. Tomorrow is the first task and I am....well scared for my life. But at least I have Hermione to help me through it. Ron won't even look at me.
As I'm walking back to my dorm I see everyone with these badges that say "Cedric Diggory, the real Hogwarts champion"
That's just great.
"Hey Potter! betting good money on your death tomorrow" I heard Malfoy yell, I turned around to see him standing with Crab and Goyle
"Watch it Malfoy!" I yelled towards him and his friends
"What are you going to do about it potter! Call your little mudblood girlfriend on me!" Malfoy spits, I grabbed my wand and brought it to his neck.
"Never call her that again. You have obviously run out of clever insults. You're just as pathetic and lazy as your father"
"You know what!" I see Malfoy grab his wand but before he can do anything I saw Malfoy turn into a ferret
I looked over to see Moody with his wand out.
"This is what you get you little...." The crowd surrounding us began laughing as the ferret started climbing on Goyle
It wasn't long before a professor came over to see what was going on.
"Professor Moody is that a student?" Mcgonagall asks angrily walking over towards us
"Technically it's a ferret"
"We give out detentions not transfiguration....You change him back this instant!" Mcgonagall demands
I walked away leaving them, pushing past the crowd that continued to grow. I walked over to the library where I assumed Hermione was. As expected, she has her head stuck in a book.
"Hey you just missed professor Moody turning Malfoy into a ferret" I tell her
"That would have been brilliant to see" She says laughing as I took the seat next to her
"So I was told they were canceling quidditch this year" I tell her sadly
"Oh I'm sorry Harry. I know how much you loved it" She says placing her hand on my shoulder
"It's fine. Now I can focus more on the tasks. I think I'm ready for tommorow"
"Good and I'm going to be there cheering you on the whole time" She says brightly
"You're beautiful"
In my head I'm hitting myself for that comment. It just slipped out. I don't know why I said that out loud.
"Thank you Harry" She responds blushing.
"So I found something a few days ago when I was wandering around the castle. Can I show you later tonight after everyone is sleeping?" I asked her
"Sure. Well let's go down to the great hall and eat. I'm hungry" Hermione says shutting her book, when she stands I noticed what she was wearing
"Hermione? Is that my jumper?" I asked her, she looks down and her cheeks instantly turn red.
"Possibly. Is it okay that I wear it? I mean you gave it to me a few days ago and I got cold this morning" She asks nervously
"Of course it is....come on"
We walked out of the library and walk into the great hall. We took a seat next to Ron but he still seems to be ignoring me. I tried talking to him but it didn't seem to working, he just turns his attention to Dean and Seamus.
"Harry it's okay. He will come around" Hermione says instantly cheering me up
"I hope"
After dinner we went to the common room for awhile till everyone fell asleep. I looked around to make sure no one was in the common room and i quickly ran up to my dorm and grabbed my cloak.
"Harry. Where is this place?" Hermione whispers waiting for me at the bottom of the staircase
"I will show you. Just place this over us" I told Hermione handing her the invisibility cloak
We quietly walked out of the common room ignoring the paintings that are yelling at us to go back to bed, we were making too much noise. I walked Hermione down a few halls and up the stairs to the fourth floor, I took the cloak off both of us when we arrived.
"Where are we?" She asks whispering looking around at the empty hall
"Have you ever heard of the room of requirement?" I asked her, already knowing that she has
"Yes. I don't think it exists....oh my god you found it!" She nearly yells
"Shhh. Yes I did but you can't tell anyone" I quieted her down as we stared at the empty wall
"What are we waiting for?"
Just then a giant black door appears on the wall, i laugh as i see the shocked expression written on Hermione's face. I take her hand and we walk in.
"Harry it's amazing. Is it true if I think of a place it will be here? Doesn't it create what a witch or wizards needs at the time?" She asks excitedly
"Why don't you try it?" I tell her
Next thing I know we are standing in this grand ballroom with a grand piano in the middle and a chandelier on the ceiling. It was so beautiful.
"What is this?" I asked a bit confused
"I imagined it like my favorite muggle movie as a child. I just thought it would be beautiful, and I needed to see something beautiful. I used to dream one day I could be dancing in a ballroom such as this" She says walking towards this white piano
I saw her sit down and begin to play. I knew the tune very well, i have heard her humming it sometimes. I never knew what it was.
"I didn't know you play?"
"Just a bit. It's called Fur Elise, written by Beethoven. Come on i can show you as well" She says scooting over on the seat.
I sat down with her and she started teaching me how to play. I tried to play as she did but it wasn't really working. Both our hands constantly hit each others on the keys causing us both to blush.
"I always heard you humming this song sometimes. I just never knew what it was" I explained
"My mother taught me when I was little. I haven't played in a long time" She says playing the final note
We both stood and began walking towards the door. The room magically went back to it's original state.
"Thank you Harry. I really needed to see this. As much as I want to stay. You need the rest for the first task tomorrow"
"We will come back I promise. This is our room now, no one can know about it" I explained
I placed the cloak back over us and we walked back to the common room. I took the cloak off and walked Hermione to the stairs leading up to her dorm.
"Goodnight Harry. Thank you for tonight" She says placing a light kiss on the corner of my mouth
She just smiles and walks up the stairs. I went up to my dorm as well still humming that familiar song I now know so well.
