Family Mishap
Chapter 1
After the somewhat different breakfast, everyone scurried to his or her respective classes. With the Slytherins having Transfiguration with the Ravenclaws, the Gryffindors have the great privilege of having Herbology together with the Hufflepuffs. Just as the bell rang, Draco and Trinity – his cousin- sat right at the front of the Slytherin pack, resulting in a rather annoyed flock of Ravenclaws.
"So, I heard from a little birdie that you like a certain Gryffindor." Trinity stated, not even asking him but as if trying to confirm whether the fact is true or false. With that Draco's eyes widened and quickly looked around the room to check if somebody have heard, fortunately for him nobody did. Aside from Blaise of course, who was sitting beside Trinity.
"And who was that? Genius over there?" Draco asked, pointing a glare in Blaise's direction. "Don't you have any better things to do than meddle with my personal life?" He hissed, dangerously both directed at Trinity and Blaise. "You should know better than believe anything that come out of this bloody idiot's mouth."
"Now, now Draco." Blaise razzed Draco flippantly. "No need to get touchy." He smirked.
"I agree." Trinity added, not really helping Draco's situation. "You should be more open to your feelings. Let it out. It's very unhealthy if you always keep it to yourself." She teased in a singsong way.
"Would both of you mind your own business!" Draco yelled in front of the class unaware of his doing. He was so frustrated at the two Slytherins beside him that he hadn't noticed that everybody had stopped talking and started listening to Professor McGonagall's lecture, which in turn earned him not only a death shuddering glare by the said Professor but detention with her as well.
"Great, just great." Draco glared at the two, who in turn gave him innocent looks.
While the Slytherin-Ravenclaw Transfiguration class is in progress, we could say the same for the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Herbology class as well. Although, not as derogatory as the former had been. Everyone is intently listening to Professor Sprout about a random organic cure for frog burns and its side effects to those with sensitive skin. Although, we couldn't say the same for Ron and Harry who are both busy trying to figure out what relations does Trinity have with Draco Malfoy and the Slytherins.
"Hey, 'Mione!" Ron whispered vehemently. A few curious heads turned in his direction. "'Mione!"
"What is your problem, Ronald?" Hermione gave her best dead on impression of Professor McGonagall, her eyes as thin as slits and her lips in a very thin line. "If you have the decency to whisper, do it with a few decibels lower." She whispered, as if taunting Ron to do the same.
"Do you have any idea who the girl Malfoy hugged?" Harry asked in a decent whisper, raising his eyebrows for emphasis.
Hermione almost groaned in chagrin.
"No, my guess is as good as yours." She rolled her eyes. Realising what she had just said, she quickly altered her former sentence. "Scratch that. My guess is better than yours." She gave them an unambiguous look, mainly directed at Ron.
"What?" Ron looked offended. "She may be his much evil-er twin!"
"Ron," She sighed. "There is no such word as 'evil-er' and you already said 'much' so you're just being redundant." She then faced Harry, pleading with her eyes as if to telling him to bridle Ronald.
"Ro-"
"Ms. Granger, is there something you wish to share the class?" Professor Sprout interjected Harry before he could even say Ron's name, who's obviously in a terrible mood. "Perhaps it would be better if I give all three of you detention."
"But-" Hermione tried to protest, giving her two cents.
"No buts." The professor cut in again. "Detention all three of you lot!" With that, the professor then turned back his attention to the lecture while some students gave the trio sympathetic looks.
"Thank you so much for getting me into detention, Ronald." Giving Ron another one of her glare and turned so fast her hair whipped Ron and Harry in the face. Strangely enough the glare reminds both Harry and Ron of one certain Slytherin.
"We're sorry, 'Mione." Ron mended.
"We?" Harry asked indignantly, giving Ron a this-is-all-your-fault look.
"Fine." Ron frowned at Harry. "I'm sorry Hermione."
"Just shut up both of you and don't talk to me until I give you permission to do so." She said, rather monotonous. Harry and Ron sighed.
I reckon this is going to be a long day, Harry thought to himself ruefully.
Author's Note: First chapter is done and I know I said there'll be some Draco and Hermione, so I'm sorry. I just don't want to rush the story. Hope you liked it.
