Hermione's Mishap

"However, if you cannot find a date then I can help you." Harry said with a smile as he placed a hand on Blaise's shoulder. "My friend, Blaise, has not yet got a date." Harry calmly said while Blaise blinked at him, Harry either ignored or did not notice that - it was most definitely the first one - and continued speaking. "He'd be honoured to take you on a date." Harry said before he coughed and nudged Blaise.

"Oh um, Miss Delacour, will you please do me the honour of being my date to the Yule Ball?" Blaise asked in what he hoped was a charming voice.

"Hmm," Fleur gave him a critical look before she nodded her head. "I will accept, I must go now but I will talk to you tomorrow after breakfast, assuming you have no classes."

"I have a free period then." Blaise confirmed.

"Excellent." Fleur nodded before she turned and walked away. The whole hall had watched the interaction and began whispering to each other once Fleur was gone.

"You lucky dog!" Theo hissed to Blaise who had simply turned and pulled Harry into a hug.

"You're the best mate ever!" Blaise grinned widely once he let go of Harry.

"Don't you forget it," Harry chuckled. "just do me a favour and treat her good. I recommended you so what you do affects me, got it?"

"Got it." Blaise said, still grinning.

"Mr Potter." A voice said, everyone turned to see Professor McGonagall walking up towards them.

"Well, someone's popular with the ladies today." Draco commented in a quiet voice.

"Daph, I swear, Professor McGonagall and I are just friends!" Harry whispered to her in a mock-horrified voice, earning a small laugh from Daphne despite her attempts to resist. "Yes Professor?" Harry asked in a polite voice as Professor McGonagall stopped in front of them.

"The Headmaster would like to see you today to discuss your thunderbird." Professor McGonagall said, glancing at Thor who was still playing with Harry's hair. "Today you have a free period after my class, I will personally escort you to his office."

"Yes Professor." Harry nodded. Professor McGonagall nodded back before she turned and walked away. Harry absently reached up and petted Thor before he continued eating his breakfast. Eventually the Slytherin's started getting up and leaving the Great Hall, Harry had left first with Daphne and Tracey. Though on the way out he ended up bumping into someone who had been too busy reading to watch where she was going.

Hermione Granger had let out a small 'oof' as she crashed into Harry, her book fell to the floor and she nearly did so, and would have done so if not for being caught by Harry who had managed to grab her arms. Catching her was a little awkward since he had a thunderbird chick on his shoulder and a snake wrapped around his arm.

"Careful Granger." Harry said with a roll of his eyes. "If you want to read then at least wait until you've mastered multi-tasking." Harry said as he let her go.

"Oh...um...sorry." She meekly apologised, red-faced as she leaned down to pick up her book. "Um...thank you...and...you did good in your...in the first task." She said in a meek voice.

"Thank you." Harry nodded before he and the girls walked off. Hermione bit her lip before she shook her head and walked over to the Gryffindor table.

"Excellent job in class today, Mr Potter." Professor McGonagall praised Harry as the two of them of them walked towards Professor Dumbledore's office.

"Thank you, Professor." Harry smiled.

"You're welcome, and how is the young one?" She asked, gesturing to Thor who was on Jet who was on his shoulders.

"Oh, Thor's fine, Professor." Harry answered.

"Thor?" Professor McGonagall hummed, "An excellent name. How is your other familiar?" She asked.

"Oh, Jet is fine, he was a bit upset at first but he's now adopted young Thor as his nephew." Harry explained. "Yes," He added when Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow. "yeah...don't ask." Harry said as they arrived outside of Dumbledore's office.

Professor McGonagall stayed behind while Harry walked up the stairs and walked into Professor Dumbledore's office, once he was inside he saw Professor Dumbledore sitting behind his desk, inside the room was also a man who wore a badge on his chest that made it clear he was from the part of the Ministry that dealt with magical creatures.

"Ah, Mr Potter." Dumbledore said when Harry had entered. "And how are you?" He asked.

"Quite well, Professor." Harry responded. "I'm like ninety-nine percent healed, I've been doing good in class as far as I'm aware, I've managed to get a date for the Yule ball and I've got a second familiar." Harry finished with a smile. "I've named him 'Thor'."
