Short Drabble between two of the golden trio - set in 4th year.

"I dont want to tell you and I dont have to tell you. There are some things in my life that I do wish to keep private and you have NO reason to know
about them." Harry shouted back. He was tired of having to account for every single minute of his time to his so called best friend.

"But Harry. I'm your best friend. Friends tell each other everything!" Hermione demanded.

"They do?" Harry stopped and stared at Hermione. She nodded her head rather emphatically.

Harry shrugged. "OK Hermione. Tell me when your last period started and finished? Tell me when your next period is due to start?"

"WHAAAAAAT? You don't need to know that. That's private!" Hermione was both shocked and embarrassed. After all they were yelling in the middle of the common room and everyone was listening.

"But Hermione, "Harry whined. "I'm your best friend. friends tell each other everything!"

Hermione huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. She also turned away from Harry. "Well not this. It is personal and private and nothing to do with you." Hermione was furious. How dare he demand to know such personal and private information.

Harry grinned. "I rest my case. I too have information that is also personal and private and has nothing to do with you. So the next time you demand to know what I am doing, I will be demanding to know when your next period is due to start." Harry was fine with doing a little blackmail if it shut the know-it-all up!

Hermione just stood there, her mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air. Harry had just manipulated her even better than she did him. He had stood up to her, put together a cohesive argument and thrown her words right back in her face, all at the same time. If she wasn't careful, if she didn't stop pushing, Harry could very well stop telling her anything, thus leaving her with no new information to pass on to the headmaster. Hermione was not keen to lose her pocket money!
