The Diary and Its Hidden Secrets

Chapter 1: The Potions Trick

"You're a propitious git!" a certain bushy haired girl said.

"And you're a mudblood!" the blonde Slytherin said.

"Oh isn't that new, MALFOY!" Hermione demanded.

Malfoy replied furiously, "How dare you talk to me like that you filthy little-"

"Let me guess, mudblood?" Hermione laughed, "See ya, ferret."

And with that she was gone.

They were in the great hall for breakfast when Draco knocked off her bag to the ground with a loud thud. The hall was silent as they watched Hermione leave. Draco's face burned red as he felt everyone's eyes on him. Great, he's the bad boy again, as usual. He just wanted to torture the mudblood and not cause attention. But as usual, he chose a densely populated area and Hermione got the last word. Draco looked down and saw that Hermione had left her bag behind. He simply acted innocent and bent down to look through it.

He noticed that Granger put an Undetectable Extension charm on her bag so that more books could fit in it. After a few minutes of rummaging through her books, one particular book caught his eye, Granger's diary!

"Perfect." he softly whispered to himself.

He placed a Geminio spell on the book to make a copy for himself; he didn't want mudblood sniffing around him. He placed another charm so that every time Granger writes something new, it would appear on his own copy. He straightened himself up, and out of habit, kicked the bag and left.

"DRACKEE!" a voice behind him said.

"Oh no, not her. Anyone but her." he muttered.

When Hermione fled the scene she was too caught up with everything that happened to realize that she left her bag behind. She didn't want to go back too soon, because that would ruin the scene. She decided that she would wait until most of the people had already left. When she thought that she waited long enough, she hurried off to the great hall. To her dismay, she heard a long shriek that sounded like 'dray-key'.

As she was walking around the corner, she saw Malfoy's weary face turn to see Pansy Parkinson running towards him with her arms out stretched. He looked like he was deciding on either to run away or to stay. Hermione walked by pass them and gave Malfoy his signature smirk. He glared back at her. But Hermione kept laughing that she didn't see where she was going, and crashed into someone.

She was about to apologize when she noticed who it was, Ron Weasley. Ron looked like he was about to say something, but Hermione jumped in before he could mutter a word, and said, "Bye."

She ran into the great hall and retrieved her bag from an exhausted looking Ginny, "Thanks."

Ginny replied briskly, "It's ok. I had a feeling you'll come back for it. Now come on, we have potions next."

Draco finally freed himself from Pansy's embrace, "Pansy, what are you doing here? You said you were going to school in Beauxbatons." He begged god that she was only here for a visit.

"Well I was, but it was so boring and they didn't have you there, so I came back" she instantly replied.

Draco sighed and said, "Well, welcome back. I have to go, I have potions. Bye."

Once he was free, he ran towards the dungeons. God help him; when Pansy gets her books, she'll want to sit beside him in every class. Draco ran up to Blaise, "Did you know-" Draco started.

Blaise intervened, "Pansy's back. Yeah, I had to sit beside her at breakfast."

They both shared a look of torture.

"You ready for our first Potions lesson this year?" Blaise spoke in a false chirpy voice.

"Do you mean the usual first potion class task?" Draco asked with a smile as Blaise nodded.

Then they're off in their annual first day of potions class race; where they would run the dungeon corridor, and first one in the potions classroom, wouldn't have to do any of the potions. They were both tied in the lead, when they caught a glimpse of the door and quickened their pace. They kept running and running until…

Unfortunately, the door wasn't big enough to fit two seventeen year old boys at the same time; they were stuck in the door. Shoulder to shoulder, and shoulder to door. Draco heard giggling and tried his best to see who was laughing at him. Of course, it was the mudblood Granger. He glared only to find her glaring back at him. Odd. She's got some nerve to glare back at someone who is of higher status than her. Draco felt something hit him, and WHAM! he landed on the floor next to Blaise.

They looked around and saw Professor Snape with his wand out. Snape strode passed them as he said, "Do I have to do this every year? GET UP!"

"Yes professor," Blaise hesitated. "Um, do you know who you would hit first?" he added sheepishly.

"I believe I had hit Mr Malfoy with the jink." Snape replied.

"YES!" Draco roared.

Hermione was upset to see Snape let Draco and Blaise out of their situation. She walked in the classroom and saw Harry and Ron already sitting together. Ginny walked beside her and said, "Dibs. I'm taking that seat and never getting up." Ginny ran and sat beside Ron leaving Hermione with nowhere to sit.

Snape looked at her and said, "Sit down Ms Granger. Must you make a show of everything?"

Hermione replied embarrassed, "There are no seats left, professor."

"Nonsense. There is a seat beside Mr Malfoy and Mr Zabini" Snape said briskly.

Hermione looked like she was going to say more, but Snape's face warned her not to. She simply had to follow orders and hesitantly walk down the aisle to sit beside Blaise. She taught that at least she'll maybe have a better seat the next day. Snape announced that they had to stay in those seats permanently until the end of term. Groans escaped the room, but the loudest being Blaise, Malfoy and Hermione.

Blaise eyes lit up as he said, "Granger, since we didn't want you to sit with us, you have to do all the potions by yourself."

"What makes you think that I will? How about you do it?" Hermione retorted.

Malfoy interfered, "Ok. We'll ruin the potion and you will lose marks, how about that?"

Hermione said nothing, but it was obvious that she gave in. Everyone stared as they saw Hermione Granger doing the potion alone while the two Slytherins just lay back with their feet on their desks. The Gryffindors glared, while the Slytherins laughed.

By the end of potions, Snape walked around the desks to check the potions. By the time he came around theirs, Blaise and Malfoy were sitting upright and were acting as if they put in a lot of hard work on making that potion. Snape said, "Excellent work Mr Malfoy and Mr Zabini." and left.

The bell rang signing that it was time for lunch. Blaise and Malfoy smirked at the brilliance of their plan. Hermione got fed up and said, "Shut up you two idiots! If you make me do that again, I will personally torture you both." She walked the room muttering, "Little pricks."

*insert horizontal line here*

Neither mustered a word because when Hermione said that, there was some power radiating off her. They realized that she was not a person to be pushed. The Gryffindors cheered while the Slytherins scold.

Draco couldn't believe at how a seventeen year old girl could be so powerful, but she was. He would never admit this, but she was good, mudblood good, but still good. But not as good as the two purebloods.

When they left the dungeons, Blaise was the first to speak, "Man, she looked like she could've killed us on the spot."

Draco replied quietly, "She can kill you on the spot."

And with that, silence filled them until they reached the Great hall for lunch.

"Blaise, she just embarrassed us in front of everyone" Draco said furiously.

Blaise of course contradicted him and said, "Not everyone. Just the class, so no. I don't know, but if you said in front of the entire class, I would've said yes but-"

Draco stopped him mid-sentence, "BLAISE SHUT UP! It's time for payback."

Blaise suddenly had an idea on what to do with the diary.

That night, Draco and Blaise will open the mudblood's diary.
