Hermione was tired out of her but couldn't find a book on how to transfigure a person into an animal. The library before had never left her alone always helped her find what she wanted. Hermione knew on whom to blame this on—Draco Malfoy!
he had also come to find something on potions and as they were both head boy and head girl, they both were allowed in the library whenever they wanted. There was no way Hermione could stop Malfoy from sitting there and cursing the library by his presence.
FINALLY! She had found it, the book, she had found the book on 'Human Transfiguration'.
She just sat there with DRACO MALFOY and peacefully read the book.
After a few hours…..at least Hermione thought so…..
Had she just noticed Draco staring at her…..no, it must be her dream….well it is late night. Ok so that wasn't a dream, he was staring at her. She suddenly got up and asked, "are u reading or staring?". After waiting a second for his answer and looking at his blank face, she went striding out of the library. She couldn't bare the thought that she had liked the he was staring at her.
The next day
Hermione was in a very good mood the next day, she had found the book she had wanted since last week. Hermione had her whole day planned out, after breakfast she had a free hour before classes and she was going to read the book on human transfiguration- 'The Advanced guide to human transfiguration'. Then attend her class till lunch and after. She would finish her essays and then do the thing she had wanted to do since the start of term, she was going to transfigure malfoy into an animal, possibly a ferret.
After breakfast she went straight to her dorm room and got to reading the book. After searching for atleast half an hour she atlast found it-
Human transfiguration is advanced magic, even some of the most well-known wizards and witches of the century have not been able to transfigure a human. Some of the most easy transfigurations are to transfigure a human into an animal.
A human can be transfigured into any animal. If the spell is not done properly the person in effect could loose a body part and would not be able to retain it back after coming back to its own form.
The incantation to the spell is- humio in animelest – to change the person into the desired animal u must think of all the qualities of the animal.
Later that evening Hermione while the trio were in the common room-
"Hermione what are you up to these days? We barely see u anymore." Asked Ron.
"Oh Ron, I am so sorry, but don't worry it is all gonna end tonight." Hermione assured that harry spoke the first time in the whole evening, curiosity filled his voice, he asked " what's gonna end tonight moine?". At that Hermione explained to them her whole plan about finding the book and learning the spell.
The next morning Hermione woke up early and sneaked down to the dungeons near the slytherin common room, with harry's invisibility cloak.
She waited outside the common room oblivious to all the slytherins coming out. At around 7:30 she saw malfoy coming out of the common room with pansy, he was talking about her, he said to Pansy "hey pansy, do u think that granger would like to be friends with me?" at this both Pansy and Hermine were staring at him, dumbshocked.
Pansy asked, "are you ok draco, I have never heard talking about her."
"no, its just that last night while I was in the library, she was too. And she looked so much like me, I mean- I think we have a lot in common- you know what I mean right?"
"yes draco I know what u mean "
After hearing this conversation Hermione forgot all about her task and walked to the great hall in shock. Well she had a lot to process now. Hadn't she?
At lunch that day Hermione had decided what to do, she had dropped her idea of transfiguring draco and decided to wait for him to make a move for their friendship. She had decided long ago that after hearing draco and pansy's conversations that draco had changed. She had no idea how she had felt like this just by some conversation, but there was this feeling inside of her that, that draco was not who everybody thought he was. So, she waited…..
