Title: Darn it, Hermione
Author&Rating: Loonynamelass, PG
Word Count: 100
Prompts: Autumn, Celebration, Crookshanks (with a hint of chestnut from hpgw100, but that’s beside the point)
Notes: Dork=bad social skills, intelligence undetermined. Geek=bad social skills, high intelligence. Nerd=social skills undetermined, high intelligence. At least, that’s how the words worked when I was in school. :)
"Ron!" Hermione glowed. Ron basked in his name's glowiness before realizing it’d been designated to her next words: "…can’t wait for September!"
Uh oh. What'd he miss? "Yeah… Autumn renders the chestnut trees especially pretty."
Her rolled eyes indicated that he was unconvincing but amusing, so he tried again. "Your birthday!" He'd hit the mark: calendars, like puppies, are notorious for attracting females.
This detail tempered her disappointment. "Yeah… and the school year starts!"
His rolled eyes: "What chance have I with a nerd-" She protested before he continued resentfully, "who likes Crookshanks more than puppies!?"
Her turn for confusion.
