The moment Hermione entered the potions room she could feel some ones eyes on her. As she went to take her seat she did a quick scan of the class to find Blaise Zabini staring directly at her. She turned around deciding to not fall into the trap of one of the slytherin's stupid games, instead she would focus on her work.
Unfortunately today's lesson was on the functions of squid root, something that she had not only read about already, but was also one of the few topics she found dull. We should be learning about urgoroot which not only is easier to obtain but works ten times faster in the healing process.Though Hermione knew this she decided it would be best to not point this out, the last time she had commented on Snape's lesson plans she'd been docked 10 points from Gryffindor.
So instead she began to lazily scan over the notes and took a brief moment to let her mind drift, and for some reason or another it drifted to thoughts of Blaise.
Maybe he wasn't staring at me. Maybe he was just looking blankly ahead. Because logically there is no reason as to why that handsome slitherin would be staring at me, unless it was to get a rise out of me. Wait! Did I just think handsome! Ugh no I meant evil! Evil, just like his parents, those muggle haters, and as they say the apple never falls far from the… Her thoughts were cut off as a crumpled piece of parchment hit the back of her head.
Whipping around, a glare already on her face she saw who her attacker was. Draco was snickering evilly, but it was Blaise who held another piece of parchment in his hands, an odd smile on his face as he stared back at her, never dropping his gaze. "Stop it!" she hissed at them, but her attempt was futile. As soon as she turned around another wad hit her left shoulder. She spun around and yelled "I said to stop it!"
"Miss Granger, do not interrupt me while I am teaching with these random out bursts. 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor for your lack of manners." Snape spat at her.
"But professor it wasn't,"
"Would you like to make it 10?"
"I," she felt a kick underneath the table and looked to her right to see Harry giving her a warning gaze. "No professor."
"Now back to squid root!" Professor Snape began as a silent groan went up from all the Gryffindors.
As he droned on Hermione forced herself to stay focused on her work, ignoring the eyes that were boring into her from behind and the snickers.
As soon as the class came to a close Hermione gathered her things and practically charged out the door, not bothering to wait for Ron or Harry. She didn't stop until she reached the common room were she sat down heavily completely enraged by the unjust treatment.
I do nothing wrong and get in trouble while those stupid pricks get off Scott free! It's just so, it's so "ERRRRRR!" She screamed into a red and gold pillow trying to let off some of her pent up anger.
That's when she felt a slight nudging at her left hand. Startled she looked up expecting to find a hungry Crookshanks.
What she did find instead was an enchanted paper bird. It landed softly in her hand and unfolded itself to reveal that it was in fact a note. Written in cursive
Sorry
B
Was all it said. After reading it several times to ensure she was really seeing what lay in front of her, Hermione's anger began to dissolve, replaced by a growing level of curiosity.
