Chapter 1: What the Hell
Hermione's POV (OOC)
I walked outside of the Great Hall and saw Tavaris Siravat and Draco Malfoy torturing a first year. I wanted to help the kid get back his Herbology book, but I knew that if I got involved, Malfoy would laugh and call me a mudblood. I turned around to head back to the common room when Malfoy spotted me. "What the hell are you doing, Granger?" He asked. "What am I doing? What are you doing to that poor boy?" I retorted. "I'm teaching him how a real bully treats a first year." He smartly replies. "Yeah, go back to your common room and leave us be." Tavaris says. I ignore him and continue walking. Malfoy and Tavaris throw the boys book to the ground and head for the dungeons. The first year runs up to me and says; "I'm Aidan Nadia I'm in Gryffindor too. What's your name?" He asked in a rush. "I'm Hermione Granger." I reply. "Thanks for saving me, you're really nice. Not like those two mean fourth years from Slytherin. I'm a muggle-born too. Malfoy, did you say his name was. He calls me a mudblood too, but if you ask me I don't think he's a true pureblood." He say's quickly. "You talk fast kid, I like it. Come on, I'll take you to the common room and introduce you to my friends. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley." I replied, he blushed as he said; "You're friends with Harry Potter, the boy who lived? That's so awesome. I don't know who that Ron fellow is though." He says excitedly. As I led him to the common room I tried to explain to him the concept of the stairs changing. He listened intently until we heard Professor
McGonagall approaching us from behind. "Ms. Granger, Mr. Nadia report to the common room at once, I have an announcement to make about a new class that has been added to the curriculum." We hurried to the common and I said the password. The portrait swung back to reveal that Harry and Ron were the only ones in the common room. They were playing Wizard's Chess. McGonagall stepped in behind us and called down the rest of the students in Gryffindor. She cleared her throat and announced; "A new class is being taught at Hogwarts and a few of you will be required to take it, to the others, the choice is optional. The class is Muggle Life Science, depending on what year you are you will have a different stage of the class. For example fourth years will have to take care of a baby." Murmurs were heard, but McGonagall continued; "The students that are required to take the class are as follows: Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood, and Pavarti Patil." McGonagall nodded her head and left the room. The common room cleared soon and Harry, Ron, Me and Aidan were the only ones left in the common room. "This sucks!" yelled Harry and Ron at the same time. "I'll go to the class with you guys, Professor McGonagall did say that it was optional to some of us." I stated. "I'll get in that class too, even though I won't be doing the same stage as you guys, I'll be there for moral support." Aidan stated proudly. "Excuse me for asking, but who are you?" Ron confusedly replied. I laughed and said; "Well, I guess you guys haven't been formally introduced, but this is Aidan Nadia, a first year that Malfoy was picking on. I helped him and we sort of became friends." "Well, nice to meet you." Said Harry and Ron as they shook hands with Aidan. I noticed that it was getting late so I suggested that we all head to our dormitories. The boys agreed with me and we all left.
Now, I am lying in my bed restlessly as time goes by. I can't sleep for the fear of who I might get paired with in that class. If I'm lucky, Draco Malfoy won't have to take the class, because there would be no way he would willingly take a class about Muggles. If Malfoy is in the class I hope that I don't get paired with him, which would be horrible. I finally fell asleep and had a wretched dream about Draco and me getting married and haaving fifteen rotten dirty-blonde headed children. The kids cursed each other left and right. I couldn't get a moment of peace, and I woke up the next day in a cold sweat. The Muggle Life Science class was my first class of the day. I got dressed and headed down to the common room to wait on Harry and Ron. Aidan was already there, but he was reading and didn't notice me. I coughed and he turned around and blushed. Harry and Ron walked down the stairs just as Aidan was wishing me luck in the new class. "Well, here we go." Ron said as we stepped through the door.
We arrive to the class and I realize that some of my luck has run out. Malfoy is in this class. He walks up to us with his swagger walk, and states; "What are you in here for Granger? I know that your attendance in this class wasn't mandatory you know-it-all mudblood." Harry and Ron raise their wands, but I tell them to lower them. "Malfoy, you foul blonde headed devil. Leave me alone before I, before I…" I say before I am interrupted; "Before you what, Granger?" I am about to reply when a tall man walks into the room. "I am Professor Ruff, I will be teaching Muggle Life Science. The rules in my class are that you may not use magic to help you complete your work. This is a Muggle Studies class so you must treat your work like it is Muggle work." I think to myself. I could ace this class, since my parents are muggles and I am around muggles the entire summer. This will be easy. The teacher continues talking; "I will now announce who your spouses will be for this class. They will be randomly selected and you may not trade spouses with anyone. The drawing shall begin now. The first pair is Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood. Please stand together against the wall and the rest of the pairs follow. The second pair is Ronald Weasley and Pavarti Patil. The third pair is Draco Malfoy and Hermione Grange. The last pair is going to have to be an alternative couple, Tavaris Siravat and Neville Longbottom." The class breaks out in snickers and giggles, but I stay silent because I think about the souse that I just got paired with. Then the teacher announces the worst news of all; "You new spouses will each have to take care of a baby doll that is enchanted to act like a real baby. The doll will need to be fed, changed, and taken care of." The teacher then announces that the class is over so we go back to the common room.
Aidan is sitting and reading. He looks up from his book and says; "So, how was the class?" He asks hurriedly. "It was awful I got paired up with the devil, Draco Malfoy." Harry and Ron laugh so I scold them and they go to their dormitories. Aidan feels bad for me so he walks over and hugs me. I feel more than sympathy from the hug there is a touch of passion. I think this young boy has a crush on me, or maybe even more. I end the hug and tell him that it is getting late so I go to the dormitory to contemplate the thought of me having a young admirer and a class in which my spouse is Draco Malfoy. Oh gosh, I have a lot on my plate, and I don't know how the heck I'm gonna deal with all of this trouble. I have so many thoughts to cogitate on that it is gonna take me hours to fall asleep, and tomorrow we will get our babies in Muggle Life Science. Uh-Oh, I'm in trouble. I fall asleep with so many thoughts going through my head that I have a strange dream. Draco is sitting in a rocking chair and he has a small bundle in his arms. I walk closer towards him and notice that it is a baby. The baby has dirty blond hair and Draco's gray eyes. I realize that the baby is mine and Draco's. Draco looks up at me and asks; "Do you want a hold?" I am kind of weirded out, but I grab the baby. The baby looks up at me and giggles. Then, I am transported to somewhere else. I look around and realize that I am on a quidditch field. Aidan is on a broomstick, and he is waving at me. He calls for me and I wave back. He swoops down and asks me if I want to hop on. I say sure and he pulls me onto the broom. We speed around for awhile and I8 am transported again. It is pitch black, but I turn to my left and see Aidan, then I turn to my right and see Draco. I walk toward Aidan and Draco begins to drift away. I run after him, but the Aidan starts to drift away. I realize that I have to make a choice between the two. I turn to my left then I turn to my right who should I choose. Before I make my choice I wake up. I get up and get dressed quickly and leave the common room without Harry or Ron. I want to get to the class early. We are getting the babies today and I want to see if they will enchant the baby to look like the baby Draco and I had in my dream. I think I might have a crush on Draco Malfoy, but then again, I could have a crush on Aidan Nadia. I arrive in class and…
