Chapter 1: Hello, Granger
"Miss Granger, are you okay?" Professor Kellum asked the young girl in the middle of the Astronomy class. She shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"Oh, of course, Professor Kellum." She said, hazel clashing with blue. Her professor flicked her black hair from her face, and continued talking. Hermione looked out the expanded Astronomy window out onto the stars. They sparkled merrily, almost winking at her in a personification sense.
"Okay, class dismissed. Homework is to research some of the Muggle constellations." Professor Kellum called out in a sing-song voice.
Walking steadily through the halls, her feet made padding noises against the stone floor.
"Fell asleep, now did you Granger?" A sickingly alluring voice called from behind her.
"Leave me alone, Malfoy." She said, and continued walking.
"Hello to you to Granger." He said sarcasticly, and strode up beside her. His 6'2" form slightly towered over her 5'11" body. He looked at her crazily.
"What's wrong with you? You act as if you're dead." He said, smoothly.
"Maybe I wished to be dead, rather than standing here telling you anything." She said, and stalked off. But he still had to follow her, they shared breathing space.
He walked in after she said the password, and they both immediately went to sleep, not wanting to say anything else to the other.
The sun shone brightly through her room, and she got up. She walked silently into the bathroom, brushing her teeth and taking a shower. She stepped from the shower and walked into her room, putting on her uniform, but leaving her robes off. She stepped into the common room and conjured a floating mirror, so she could tie her tie on straight. She threw her robes over it. Skipping breakfast, she walked to Potions. Sitting in the middle row, she took out her things to start Potions.
"Today, we will be learning an Aging Potion. Partner up with the person to you right, and begin." He said, his black eyes sweeping oer the classroom.
She took out her neatly written instructions while Harry got the ingredients. She noticed that Ron had shifted over to his right, and in dismay, ended up working with Malfoy. They glared at each other while working. In the middle of the Aging stage, Ron and Malfoy jumped up. "Flipendo!" Malfoy shouted, Ron moving, as the spell hit the cauldron sending it through the air. It quickly descended on the unluckiest person of the day, Hermione Granger.
Draco had to escort the unconscious Hermione to the Hospital Wing. Sitting down, he proceeded to tell the nurse why she was here. After ten minutes, he heard noises inside the curtain. They were the distinct noises of sneezing. The sneezes were too small and high to belong to Hermione, so he stood. He drew back the curtain and jumped in surprise.
