7: Cheery Cherry

Hermione's POV:

I woke up the next morning, still in my dress and makeup. I felt an arm around my waist and snuggled deeper into the person next to me. I inhaled their scent, a strong, muscular cologne. 

Wait. The person...next to me? Cologne? I opened my eyes and screamed.

"MALFOY, WHAT THE HECK!" I jumped off the bed and onto the floor. I put my arms over my, rather exposed, chest, and shrieked. 

He sat up. "GRANGER! CALM DOWN!" 

I started panicking. Why was he in bed with me! He shouldn't have been! He should have slept on the couch or, "GINNNNYYYYY!!!!" I screeched. Ginny came bursting through not a moment later, looking very concerned. 

Her hair was a mess, and she too was still in her dress. Her lipstick was a bit smudged, but she asked, "WHAT'S WRONG?" She looked at me, on the floor, then at Malfoy who was calmly sitting in the bed. "Oh...OH...OH! HARRY!" 

"YES, LOVE?" Harry's voice called from across the hall. 

"GET OVER HERE!" Ginny screeched. She then doubled over in laughter at how horrified I must have looked. "C'mon, 'Mione! Let's get ready!" Ginny walked into my walk-in closet as Harry burst through the door.

"What's wrong, love?" He swiveled his head and saw me on the floor, his wife in my closet, and Malfoy on the bed. "Morning, Draco," He said. Ginny and I stiffened. Did he just call, Malfoy, Draco? When did that happen? I wondered to myself. How odd. 

"Oooo-kay! 'Mione let's get ready...shall we?" Ginny tossed a set of clothes into my arms. I noticed she had given me a bikini too. Understanding what she wanted to do, I nodded and let her pull me into the bathroom. "Silencio! Colloportus." She waved her wand at the door then looked at me. "Ok. Spill." She stepped into the bathtub and turned on the tap. 

"Well," I said, peeling off my dress. (What, this is normal! Ginny and I bathe together all the time! Besides, we'd have bathing suits on!) "I mean last night Malfoy carried me into bed." I walked over to my vanity and grabbed a couple of bath bombs and rose petals. "Oh, Ginny! Are "Cheery Cherry" bath bombs okay?" I peered over my shoulder and saw that she nodded. Stepping into the large tub, I joined Ginny and placed the bath bombs and rose petals in. "Anyways I fell asleep but when I woke up, he was holding me!" I spluttered. "That! That prat! How dare he-"

Ginny giggled. "It's kind of cute!" I glared at her, but she continued, "I mean, the whole "Enemies to Lovers" thing has always been really cute." She played with some of the bubbles. "Who knows, maybe you'll really like him!" 

I snorted. "Me? Muggle-born Hermione Jean Granger, love the bouncing ferret, Draco Malfoy?" I splashed her with water. "Not a chance."

She looked at me, studying my face. "I have a bet going on with the other girls-" I gasped but let her continue. "-that by the end of the year, you two will loooooove each other!" She made a kissing-fish face and made a heart with her hands. Despite the awkward topic, I laughed.

"Sure...OH! Today's our first official day of classes," I nodded. We hadn't really done anything for the first week with all that had been going on. "We're getting our time tables!" I squealed with joy. I loved the classes! I was going to take every single one! 

"Don't forget, 'Mione," Ginny cackled. "You're doing divination this year!" I frowned. I had forgotten about that! She smiled a bit. "Don't worry, I think everybody here is too!" 

I sighed, thankful that I wouldn't be alone. "I think McGonagall is having us go to every class with our spouse."

Ginny beamed. "Yes! All-day, every day, with Harry!" 

"Well, lucky you! All-day, every day, with Draco Malfoy!" I checked the clock. "Jesus! We should get going before we miss breakfast!" 

She smiled and stepped out of the tub. I did too and stepped into the shower to briefly rinse myself of bubbles and put on my outfit. It was a simple maroon jumper with spaghetti straps. It went in at my waist and was held by a black leather belt. Ginny had chosen black sneakers to go with it. I smiled and walked out. Looking into the mirror I muttered, "Lookin' good, Granger." 

Ginny stepped next to me. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm borrowing some of your clothes." She twirled around. She was wearing black ripped jeans (ok. I seriously need to ask why everybody is wearing black jeans!) and a yellow halter top that read, "BEE HAPPY".  

I whistled. "How can I complain when you look that good!" We giggled and skipped out of the bathroom. My jaw dropped to the floor.

"When...did..THIS? Happen?" Ginny asked, waving her arms crazily.

The boys stopped talking and looked at us. They were calling each other by their first names, and were peacefully talking with each other! Ron and Malfoy were sitting next to one another and weren't waving their wands everywhere!

"Well, you see-" Neville started.

"-while you girls all went out-" Zabini continued.

"-we told each other-" Harry added.

"-each other's embarrassing stories!" Malfoy chirped. 

"Yeah and it was fun-" Nott said.

"-and we bonded a bit!" Ron finally finished. 

I gulped. This was...extremely unexpected! I mean, not that it's not amazing, but it was just so-

"Yeah, when Ron told me he was going to have a "guy talk" with everybody else, I was quite surprised too. Nice room, by the way!" Lavender waltzed into the room. She stood next to me and looked me up and down. "Let me guess, Ginny chose your outfit?" I nodded. Lavender giggled and played with the hem of her light pink dress. It went down to her knees and hugged her bodice, but flared out at the waist. 

I sighed. "As always! I have no fashion sense." I skipped out the door. "Today's going to be a lovely day! We'll start classes!" I twirled around a bit. I felt so happy! Everybody was getting along! I have no idea why, but I called out"You know, Voldemort was like a teenage girl!", before sashaying out the door. I heard a couple of the boys choking. Honestly, I would too! I have no idea why that happened. Was it the "Cheery Cherry" bath bombs? Who knows! I stumbled a bit, suddenly feeling dizzy. 

I ran down the stairs and into Astoria. "Morning!" I chirped.

Astoria giggled. "Somebody's in a good mood!" Astoria was wearing a purple circle skirt and galaxy top. She smiled. "Did you use "Cheery Cherry" bath bombs?"

I nodded. "Yes! I'm starting to think they actually have a-"

"'MIONE!!!!" Ginny squealed running down. "I think those bath bombs actually have a cheering charm effect or something!" 

Astoria nodded. "Yeah, they do. It'll wear off in a couple of hours."

Pansy stumbled into the common room in black leggings and a cropped white sweatshirt. I felt a surge of happiness and ran over to hug her. "MORNING BESTIE!"

Pansy was stunned. When she finally got her jaw off the floor, Luna waltzed in wearing a lacy, blue romper. Ginny attacked Luna. "TODAY'S GOING TO BE AMAZING!"

Luna smiled. "Of course! Every day is amazing!"

The boys all came running down the stairs at once. I jumped on Malfoy. "LET'S GO! CLASSES!" I pulled him along with me. He stopped to wrench out of my grasp, but I gripped him harder and threw him out the portrait. "Oh...oops!" I leaped over him and towards the Great Hall.

Astoria's POV:

I silently watched as Hermione threw Draco out of the room and leaped over him. I looked at Ginny who was bouncing all over the place and groaned. 

"HARRRRYYY!!! LET'S GET A CAT! WAIT! I ALREADY HAVE A CAT!" Ginny leaped into a terrified Harry Potter's arms. He whispered, "God help me," before adjusting her so that she was on his back. 

"Guys...," Pansy warned. "I don't know why they used those bath bombs, but they are going to be high with happiness for the next several hours." 

We all froze. I looked at Draco who was still on the floor groaning. I gulped. "Where did she say she was going again?"

Draco paled and whispered, "Great hall." I leaped over him and ran. 

Upon entering the Great Hall, I saw Hermione calmly eating her breakfast. When she saw me, she ran up to me. "C'MON! LET'S GO PLAY QUIDDITCH!" She grabbed onto my arm and tried to leave, but bumped right into Theo. 

"Bloody hell," Ron whispered. "Quidditch? She'll fall off the broom!" 

"I'll be fine! OH MY GOSH GINNY! LET'S GO PLAY QUIDDITCH!" Hermione and Ginny ran away from us. I looked at the clock.

"Well, we have one hour to find them and get them to calm down." I looked at our group. It was truly bizzare. Me, Pansy, Draco, Blaise, and Theo, all of us Slytherins, but were friends with Lavender, Ron, Harry, Neville, and Luna. And Hermione and Ginny of course, but they were both out of their minds right now. I nodded at them. "Let's do this."
