Lust for Knowledge

I was sitting in front of the fire reading a book about Astrology. Though me being even nosier then usual I heard convocation upstairs… from the boys.

“What do you suppose Dean sees in her? Ginny?” I heard Ron speak,
“Well, what does she see in him?” Harry asked,
“Dean? He’s brilliant.” Ron replied,
“You called him a slick git not five hours ago.” Harry spoke,
“Yeah, well, he was running his hands all over my sister, wasn’t he? Something snaps, and you’ve gotta hate him, you know? On principle.” Ron explained,
“I suppose.” Harry replied.

“So, what is it he sees in her?” Ron asked,
“I don’t know. She’s smart, funny. Attractive.” Harry replied,
“Attractive?” Ron asked sounding confused,
“You know, she’s got nice skin.” Harry replied,
“Skin? Dean dates my sister because of her skin?” Ron asked, I smirked at the suggestion,
“Well, no, I mean, I’m just saying it could be a contributing factor.” Harry explained.

“Hermione’s got nice skin.” my eyes widened as I quickly dropped my book and stood at the boys door, listening closer, “Wouldn’t you say? As skin goes, I mean.” Ron spoke,
“I’ve never really thought about it.” Harry replied, “But, I suppose, yeah. Very nice. Mei’s skin is always so soft.” Harry added, I covered my mouth,
“I wouldn’t know… even though you constantly stare at the poor girl.” I heard Ron chuckle,
“I don’t constantly stare at Mei.” Harry replied,
“Yes you do, its like you want to pounce on her.” Ron teased,
“I think I’ll be going to sleep now.” Harry quickly spoke, Ron laughed,
“Fine. Goodnight.” Ron spoke.

I went back downstairs feeling a lot more happy.

I wanted to tell Hermione what they both said but she was asleep.



I was walking down the corridor when some guy some Ravenclaw walked into me, making me drop my books.

“Sorry.” he spoke and helped me pick them up,
“It’s ok really.” I replied as we grabbed my last book but his hand covered mine, we both looked at each other,
“You’re Meira, aren’t you?” the boy spoke, I nodded shyly as I placed my last book under my arm, “My name is Jamie, I’m in the year above you.” Jamie spoke, and held out his hand, I taken it with a shake but Jamie kissed my knuckles I blushed.

I spent some of my day talking with Jamie, Hermione came up to me later with a smile,
“Mei, are we going to get something to eat now?” she asked,
“Oh… I just made plans with Jamie here to go and get something in a pub,” I explained, Hermione looked at me shocked with a smiled she hugged me quickly,
“I’ll see you later then.” Hermione spoke.
