Hermione walked down the halls of Hogwarts school with a dozen books in her
hands. Harry and Ron stood next to her with their own bundles. They kept
noticing Hermione looking over at Malfoy. She'd turn around, look at him,
then look back.
"Hermione, what are you looking at?" Harry asked.
"Nothing. Just the…beautiful paintings on the walls."
"Don't we see those everyday?" Ron asked.
"Um…well they seem prettier today."
"Oh."
They walked down to Potions class and put their books down. Snape was just about to begin the lesson as they walked in.
"Today we will be making a very powerful sleeping potion, so do be careful."
"I'm already half asleep." Ron said to Harry.
"Hermione, come up here and add the hippogriff saliva to the mixture. You too, Malfoy."
Hermione started to sweat. Malfoy walked up and took the small bottle out of Snape's hand. Hermione took the other.
"Granger, you add your bottle now."
But she was too busy staring at Malfoy, and she spilled the saliva on the floor.
"Hermione Granger! You'll be seeing me after class today. That way you won't have to stare at your boyfriend here anymore."
The class began to giggle.
She was so embarrassed. Nobody knew about her secret crush on Malfoy. Or how she would always call him by his first name, Draco. Now her class would tell the whole school. Harry and Ron walked up to her.
"Is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"That you like Malfoy?"
"DRACO! HIS NAME IS DRACO!"
The two boys stood in shock. Hermione covered her mouth, then ran. Now Harry and Ron definitely knew she liked him. She just wanted to curl up in a ball and hide. She ran outside and toward Hagrid's hut. She wiped the tears from her eyes and knocked on the door.
"Come in," a faint voice said from inside.
"Hi Hagrid."
"Hermione, ya know yer not supposed ter be out here."
"I know, but the whole school will be on my back for the rest of my time here."
"An' why is that?"
"Well, today in potions class I spilled my bottle of hippogriff saliva…"
"Why is that all? I got a dozen bottles right here."
"No Hagrid," she said with a giggle, then became serious, "it's just that I spilled it while…"
"While what?"
"I was staring at Draco."
"So, what's wrong wit' starin'?"
"Then Snape said he was my boyfriend."
"Oh, I see. Well do you like him?"
"Um…well…kinda."
"Then just ignore the kids. They're jus' jealous of ya.
"Thanks Hagrid."
"Yer
