Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Later, after breakfast, Harry and Daphne made their way to the library to do their homework. They had just gotten finished with their potions assignments when Hermione Granger entered. She made her way over to a nearby book shelf, then she looked at Harry and Daphne.

"What are you two doing here?" She asked, clearly just noticing the two

"Making passionate love on top of a flying white saber-toothed tiger that is soaring above a rainbow in Ireland whilst consuming large quantities of fire whisky" Harry gestured to his homework "we're in a library with homework on our desk, what do you think we're doing?"

"Wait" Daphne said "who's drinking the fire whiskey? You, me or the tiger?"

"Why not all three? We have plenty" Harry replied

"You don't have to be so rude" Hermione huffed

"True" Harry shrugged "but I don't have to make love on a flying white saber-toothed tiger that is soaring above a rainbow in Ireland whilst consuming large quantities of fire whisky either"

"Do you ever stop making jokes?" Hermione looked at him with disapproval

"Yes, I do need to sleep every now and then" Harry responded before he continued with his homework, Daphne just laughed and continued on as well.

"By the way, I want to know, how do you keep doing better than me in class?" Hermione asked

"I study and put in the effort" Harry answered whilst not looking up from his homework

"There has to be more to it than that" Hermione replied "there's no way you could beat me by just studying"

"Are you really that arrogant Granger?" Daphne asked "You really think nobody else can beat you just by studying?"

"I'm the smartest witch of my age" Hermione claimed "I've been studying nonstop since I got my Hogwarts letter"

"And I congratulate you for that" Harry said dryly

"So, how did you do it?" Hermione persisted "Have you been cheating?"

"No Granger" Harry sighed "I don't cheat, at least not in something as trivial as school classes"

"Trivial?!" Hermione looked at him like he said something blasphemous

"Admittedly they're teaching us important things but do you really think I would put in the effort of cheating for Herbology? No offense to the subject or the teacher, but I have better things to do. Besides, admittedly transfigurations, charms and potions have important things to teach but if I cheated on them then I'd be screwing myself out of something that could be important later. Still, despite all that, they are just first year lessons."

"They're still lessons!" Hermione objected "You..."

"Either way" Harry interrupted "I don't cheat. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to finish my homework as I have better things to do with my time than chat to you or wasting time doing homework"

"Like what?" Hermione scoffed and crossed her arms

"Like talking with my girlfriend" Harry gestured to Daphne

"Girlfriend? You're too young to have a girlfriend" Hermione said as if she was his mother

"In that case you'll probably not like the fact that I'm his fiancée" Daphne added with a smirk

"Fiancée?!" Hermione shrieked, the girl was fortunate that the librarian wasn't there at the moment or she'd be kicked out

"Yes" Harry said just as an idea came to his head "she's my fiancée, do you have one yet, who is yours?"

"My fiancée?!"

"Yes" Harry nudged Daphne from under the table "Daphne's mine, who is yours? You do realize that everyone gets a fiancée eventually"

"They wouldn't do that! That's barbaric!" Hermione protested.

"It's true" Daphne who realized what Harry was doing had decided to play along "I heard rumors that Ronald Weasley had wanted to chose you as his wife"

"What?!" Hermione demanded

"Congratulations on being the future Mrs Weasley" Daphne smiled sweetly at her.

Hermione paled at the very idea and stormed off, forgetting to do her homework and went straight for Ronald Weasley. How dare that boy just decide that she will be his wife?! She was going to give him a good talking to.

Once she left Harry and Daphne looked at each other, it took them all of ten seconds to burst out laughing. Daphne was actually slamming her fist on her desk from how much she was laughing, Harry even had tears in his eyes.

Of course the librarian chose that moment to come in and kicked the both of them out for causing a disturbance, not that it dampened their moods at all. In fact they were still laughing all the way back to the common room where they told Tracy what had happened and the girl ended up clutching her sides form laughing too much.
