Chapter 1: Future
A/N This is my first story. Tell me what you think of it and please review! Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
A figure raced through the Hogwarts grounds, eager to get out of Transfiguration with Professor Mcgonagall. Catching up with his friend, Draco, the profile of Blaise Zabini appeared beside him.
"Are you going to start on the Transfiguration essay?" said Draco.
"No thanks," he replied, I don't care about it."
"Well, you should finish it if you want a chance at any career," he respectfully replied.
"Oh, since when were you thinking about the future? You don't even have a girlfriend." Blaise countered.
He was right. I'm never going to admit it though. I'm better off without a girlfriend. No you are not, argued one side of his brain. I can do things my self, said the other side of his logic. Well, I have to find a girlfriend someday, why don't I start now? Well, all the girls that my parents would approve as girlfriends would probably be dumb little puppets, no matter how pure their blood is.
"Draco! Earth to Draco!" yelled Blaise in his face.
"Sorry, I was having a talk with myself." he lied, although it was a bit true.
"Time to go to lunch." he sighed. Draco's stomach agreed.
Xxxxxx
"Hermione!" yelled a frustrated Ron Weasley. "I need help with the essay!"
Hermione sighed. "We've been through a war and you still need help with homework. Tough luck, do your own research." responded Hermione.
"But Hermione-" Ron whined.
"Stop," Hermione interrupted, "I don't want to hear it."
I can't believe we used to be dating, she thought. Oh wait, she thought, now I remember why we broke up. Can't he ask someone else for help?
"I feel really bad for you," whispered Harry Potter, her other friend, "at least I try and do my own homework."
"Thanks Harry, for not using me as a answer book!" Hermione screamed, emphasizing the last phrase. "Oh, and Harry, can you distract Ron while I go eat lunch?" she whispered in Harry's ear.
"Sure," he replied, "I'll make sure he doesn't bother you anymore."
After Ron started asking her after for her answers for Potions homework, Hermione sprinted all the way to the Great Hall entrance, hiding among the throng of students. Relieved to be in the Great Hall, Hermione headed for the Gryffindor table, hastily eating her lunch and hiding her homework in her Undetectable Extension bag.
