Chapter 2: Another Slughorn get together

The next day Harry, Ron and I had an early breakfast, I didn't get much sleep last night because of too much thinking of what Draco just said…

I couldn't help it…no matter how hard I tried to get the thoughts out of my head they all just keep popping in my head…every little word…and that annoyed me…

As I said we were having our breakfast as usual until someone from behind said something that scared the hell out of us three…

"Ah…Ms. Granger and Mr. Potter…just some of the people I wanted to see…" Slughorn said from behind us making us well especially me jump a little making me spill some of my pumpkin juice out of my mouth.

"Pro-professor…good evening…" Harry managed to say choking from his chunks of roast beef.

"Mmmfff?" was all Ron could say getting something stuck in his throat.

"What brings you here professor?" I managed to say pounding my chest.

"Well…since I hadn't held a get together with the Slug club in a while I decided to organize another get together…" Slughorn said with happiness in his voice.

"Ah…uhm…and what did you want to see us for Professor?" I asked saving Harry the effort to ask him looking still a bit pale from almost choking.

"Oh…yes…well…you wouldn't mind if you would perform a little something in the little get together would you Ms. Granger?" he asked smiling while running his hands through his walrus like beard.

"What?! Why me? I mean…I possibly can't…" I blurted out immediately after he asked me to perform a little number for him and the other people in the little gathering he was planning.

"Well…I have my sources Ms. Granger…a little birdie told me you could sing very well…very well indeed…"

"But professor…I-I haven't sang in a very long time and…well…"

I kept protesting until all he could say was "I won't take no for an answer Ms. Granger…I know you will do a very excellent job…"

I realized I just couldn't argue anymore...and that what really sucks about me…I couldn't really say no…especially to a professor…no matter how much I protested…so I just gave in…

"Excellent!...Thank you so much Ms. Granger…I appreciate your participation in this get together…I will be sending you and Mr. Potter your invites as soon as possible…there I will place the details…" he finally said smiling like a little child and walked away his big belly bouncing as he walked.

"Well…That was charming wasn't it?" Harry finally said smiling.

"Oh…Harry…I can't possibly sing…not with people to hear me…I'll just make a bigger fool of myself as I always do…" I said placing my hands over my face.

"I didn't know you could sing…" Ron interrupted still filling his plate with more food.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me Ronald…" I simply said looking annoyed.

"Don't worry Mione…I know you'll do a great job…your Hermione Granger after all…one of the smartest witches I know…" Harry said trying to cheer me up.

"Thanks Harry…at least someone thinks so…"

"Well, well did I just hear that correctly mud blood? You could actually sing?" someone from behind said, someone had been listening to our conversation.

"It is really none of your business Malfoy…" I said even more annoyed turning around to see him.

"I'll be looking forward to seeing you making a bigger fool of yourself in the future mud blood…" he simply replied with one of his famous smirk.

"What makes you think you'd even get invited Malfoy?" I asked sarcastically knowing Slughorn would never invite him; he never did no matter how much Draco tried to convince him he was just as important.

"You'll see mud blood…you'll see…" he simply replied back looking all smug.

"Just get out of here ferret…as you cannot see were having breakfast…and your kind of disturbing our not so good morning since you showed up…" Ron said waving his roast beef with a fork at Draco.

"You've got a serious problem with table manners Weasel…" Draco replied back with a laugh and started walking away but stopped a bit and turned around to look at me

"Don't think I forgot about yesterday mud blood…" he said with a little devilish smile then walked out. (Oh lord, why does he look so hot when he's being so bad?)

That brought shivers down my spine in a really good way somehow… (What am I thinking?! He wants to get back at me…who knows what he'll do just to get back at me?)

I mentally slapped myself in the face then turned to Harry; Ron was too busy stuffing his mouth.

"Like I said…don't let him get to you…" he simply said looking at me with a reassuring smile plastered on his face.

"Y-yeah…your right…I'll just head to the classroom and maybe have a little chat with Professor Slughorn if possible…"

"Okay…catch you later?"

"Yeah…see you later…" I replied back and grabbed my books and bag heading out to the potions room hoping Professor Slughorn was there.

When I arrived the room was barely filled with people, only a few students about 3 students from Gryfindor and 3 from Slytherin which I knew as no other then Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson and the one and only Draco Malfoy.

They were busy discussing something when I came in the room and they caught sight of me, staying quiet and they didn't take their eyes off me for one bit.

(Oh God! They must be planning something against me! What to do? What to do?) I wanted to run away but I couldn't get my feet to move instead they were walking towards the desk where Harry, Ron and I usually sat.

I could feel my heart racing as I took a seat and sat down placing my things on top of the table hoping they wouldn't go near me.

"Hey Hermione right?" someone from behind said making me jump again.

(Geeeez don't people take a break scaring me half to death this day?)

I breathed calmly and turned to face the person whose voice it came from to my surprise it was Oliver Wood. (This was surprising to me because he never talked to me before until now)

"Y-yes?" (Great job Mione! He finally talks to you and you make yourself look like a helpless little girl I could kick myself!)

I was always like this when it comes to guys talking to me (Well…Except Draco of course but that was different)

"I heard Slughorn's planning another get together...Am I correct?" he asked pulling a seat next to me.

"Yes…you are correct…" I calmly said.

"You mind if I go with you then lass?" he asked very confident with a really amazing smile.

"I-I guess…if you're interested in going with me of course…" I said thinking he just made a big mistake trying to go with anyone else but me.

"Why would I ever mind lass? Someone as pretty as you? That person has to blind not see how truly beautiful you are…not to go with you…"

When he said that I blushed so much I couldn't control the redness of my face showing. (Did he really mean that or was he just bluffing to get me to bring him to a party not everyone could go to? Well he could just have said he wants to go instead of pulling my leg…)

"Speechless huh? I get it lass…well see you then lass eh?" he said finally standing up and took my hand and lightly kissed the top of it before walking away.

"What a show off!" I heard Draco say looking at Oliver's back side with great disgust.

"Ms. Granger…I see you have already someone to go with to the little get together I see?" Slughorn said just coming in the room that seemed to have seen the whole scene.

"Mmmmm…" was all I could get out of my mouth seeming still in shock.

"Well…I forgot to tell you it was really needed to bring dates so I guess you already knew that…I wanted to have a little get together to see who inspires you right now…" he said with so much jolly in his voice.

The only respond I could do was nod slowly.

"Oh and Ms. Granger…I have found the most wonderful piano player to play for you for your little number…you will both be the ones discussing when you would like to start practicing…" he added placing his things on the table.

I was still so speechless that I forgot about the whole singing thing for the party.

"Who is it Professor?" I asked curiously just when Harry and Ron finally showed up taking a seat at my side.

"This young man suggested it himself so I'm very pleased to have him so interested in taking part…"

"What's he jabbering about?" Ron asked annoyingly, he was again upset in being not invited to another Slug club party.

I ignored him eager to hear who Professor Slughorn was mentioning about. (At least somehow I won't be too stressed about finding a piano player myself)

"This remarkable young lad is no other then Draco Malfoy himself…I have heard him play at a recital before…and let me say…he is oddly good…" he said going over to where Draco sat.

"What?! That can't be right Professor…I mean…uh…" (Oh what's the point in arguing? I knew I was just going to have to accept the fact I was performing with Draco)

(Oh God thank you!)

As I looked at Draco he looked proud and with looked at me with a big grin on his face. Mouthing the words 'I told you'

(This is going to be a long performance…just let me get through it alive…) I said to myself burying myself in my books.
