Summary: Hermione is feeling lost, sad and angry. Harry and Ron have been ignoring their friendship with her, but what happens when Hermione is pushed to the edge? Can some certain red-heads help her?
*~*
Hermione Granger walked behind her two best friends, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley, they were headed to their last class of the day, Potions. They were now in their sixth year and taking things a little more seriously, though homework would always be the last thing they would focus on, but lately, homework wasn't even a talking matter, Harry and Ron had figured that since Hermione usually finished her homework early, they would put on their, now famous, puppy-dog looks and convince her to do their homework for them.
She had noticed that they were also beginning to concentrate more on themselves rather than trying to at least help her with anything at all, it was becoming frustrating, having to twice as much homework as anyone. Hermione tried to walk faster to try to stand next to Harry, but he moved a bit to the side, and denied her what she had wanted. Hermione went back to walking behind them, them attempted to walk next to Ron, but he did the same thing as Harry. They were nearing the dungeons, and the dimly lit hallway was becoming narrow, so Hermione had no choice but to walk behind them.
They were being unusually quiet today, not Harry, nor Ron were talking, and neither was she, even if she was, anything she said would be ignored, pushed aside, or snorted at. When this behavior had first started, Hermione thought that Harry and Ron were mad at her for some reason that she had yet to figure out. It was only October, and their behavior had started only two weeks before, right after Hermione had refused to do a particularly difficult Charms essay. Hermione had at first thought that this was their reason for not talking to her, so the next day, during Tranfiguration, when Harry and Ron asked her to do yet another essay that Professor McGonagall had assigned, she agreed to do it for them, without hesitation or need of persistence.
But their behavior continued, ignoring her in the halls, while they were walking, in the library when they were working, during meals and classes, while spending time in the common room, relaxing, and pretty much every where that they didn't need homework help. The only times they would actually look or speak to her was when a professor assigned homework. At that point, Harry would either look over at her and give her a questioning, pleading look, or Ron would whisper that he needed help.
They arrived at the dungeons and were not surprised that the large group of Slytherins were already waiting by the door. Malfoy noticed them approaching and turned to face them.
"where is your Mudblood friend Granger, Potter?" Malfoy sneered, obviously not noticing Hermione was behind them. Harry ignored him and turned to lean against the wall, followed closely by Ron. Hermione shot Malfoy a death glare, then turned and leaned against the wall next to Ron. Malfoy seemed to not have noticed Hermione, but instead was deep in conversation with Pansy Parkingson. At that moment, Dean Thomas, a fellow Gryffindor, was standing in front of Ron and Harry, and all three were talking something about Quidditch. Hermione was suddenly pushed to the side by Ron and Dean took her place on the wall, still talking about nothing important, not noticing how horribly her best friend had just treated her. But Hermione wasn't given enough time to react or stand up for herself, because the next moment, Professor Snape opened the classroom door, and they all walked inside.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dean all walked to the back of the class room to a desk in the back. Harry sat between Dean and Ron, and Hermione on the other side of Dean, unwilling to sit next to Ron and risk being pushed off the chair next. She spent two minutes thinking about what in the world had possessed Ron to push her, instead of just asking her to move over, but then again, why were Harry and Ron acting like Slytherins, and nobody was taking notice but herself, she also found herself pondering that why was she agreeing to do their homework for them for the almost three weeks now, it was like some freaked out universe, all these thoughts ran through her head in those two minutes before Snape attracted their attention to himself.
Forty-five minutes later, after finally completing a fairly simple Hair Growing potion, Snape said, "You will be writing a two foot essay on what a person would do with this potion, and also describe how much potion should be taken to grow different lengths in different places."
"What is it with the professors and giving out essay homework?" Hermione heard Harry's voice say, "I mean it's not like any one blew up their cauldron or anything, today," Harry was quiet right, no one not even Neville Longbottom, had messed up his or her potions, well yes, the potion was supposed to be a dark shade of yellow, that only she had managed to get, but nobody had caused any particular damage that lesson.
Suddenly, Hermione received the feeling of being watched, she turnered her head instinctively to the side, as soon as she turned, she saw two pairs of eyes looking at her. The beautiful emerald green had a look of pleading and the dazzling brown had a distressed, and pleading look, like the look of a lost child, looking for its mother. Dean was staring at her as well, and her stomach made a twinge, but when she saw the look in his eyes, she knew that he was not asking for his homework to be done for him, but a look of wanting to know why the others were staring at her, she ignored him. Hermione hesitated, "They've been treating you really bad lately! Only thinking about themselves!" a cool voice in her mind said. "Maybe they have other things on their minds!" Another, more distressed voice said, Hermione quickly nodded, before the first voice in her head responded. Hermione watched as the red and dark haired boys exchanged satisfied grins, and not once turned to thank or even look at Hermione, and their stares continued to change to different places, as they packed up their stuff and the rest of the day continued on like that.
