A/N: I know Hermione's Parents are dentists. But dentist
can be strick. MY parents are doctors and they're strick.Sorry this took so long to get up. I had it done, it'sjust everytime I would try to post it, it wouldn't work.
Hermione woke up with the sun in her eyes, early that
morning. She groaned as she slowly opened hereyes in the bright light. Of course, as usual, Lavender had the curtains open in their dorm. every single morning at 5:30 Lavender woke up and every single morning she would open the curtains and let the sunlight in."It reminds me of home." Lavender would say,"all the forest andHagrid's little hut. It reminds me of our cottage."You'd think that after 5 and 1/2 years of being awakened like that Hermione would be used to it, but being as she spent most of her nights studying, the morning always caught heroff-guard.
Hermione stumbled out of bed and started getting
dressed. After putting on her black robes and brushing
her stubborn hair, Hermione went down to the common room
to meet up with Ron and Harry. They usually walked to
the great Hall together in the mornings, but lately Ron
and Harry haven't been around much. And this was one of
those mornings. So she made her way to the great hall by
herself, still in a bad mood from her rude awakening.
When she walked into the great hall, Hermione spotted
Harry and Ron flirting with their girls. She rolled her
eyes and sat down next to them. Of course, they hadn't
even noticed that she was there but she had gotten used
to it. Lately Harry and Ron's horomones seemed to be
taking over there minds and all they seemed to care
about was who they were going out with Saturday night.
Hermione has never been, still isn't, and probably never will be the type of girl who's life revolves around guys. In her 5 and 1/2 years at Hogwarts, she had never had a boyfriend. In her whole life, for that matter, she had never had a boyfriend. Of course she would say that she could care less. Although, if you saw her looking at Harry and his girlfriend Parvati , you would think differently. she usually had a look of hurt in her eyes. she would never admit to that. She was too proud to ever admit she was lonely.
" Hey Hermione."
Hermione jerked out of her thoughts and looked across
the table to see who was addressing her.
"Oh hi Ginny. What's up?" Hermione asked, even though
she didn't give a rat's ass what was up. Don't get me
wrong, Hermione liked Ginny. They had become really good
friends over the years but that particular morning
Hermione wasn't interested in gossip.
"Not much. But check this letter out!" Ginny said with
her brown eyes lighting up. "I don't know who sent it but
I have i feeling I'll find out really soon."
Hermione gave her a curious look, then took the letter
out of Ginny's hand and started to read:
'My Dearest Ginny,
Long have I waited to tell you my true feelings for you,
but alas (alas?! Who the hell does this guy think he is,
shakespeare?) I fear your rejection. I have admired you
from afar for so long, I can't bare to go another day
without knowing how you feel about me. Please meet me in
the Trophy room tonight at 9:30.
love,
your secret admirer'
Hermione gaped at the letter and Ginny beamed.
"Oh my god, Ginny. Are you actually gonna go?" Hermione
asked.
"Well, duh! Of course I'm gonna go!" Ginny replied."Why
wouldn't I?"
"I don't know, it's just..."Hermione stopped and looked
for the right words.
"It's just a little suspicious. I mean, there are alot of untrustworthy (she shot a glare at Malfoy)people in this school that would do such a thing."
"are you saying that you don't think this is real?!"
Ginny demanded. "what, am I too stupid to get a guy to
like me, is that it?"
Hermione's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe Ginny was
taking it so hard! "No,no! that's not it! Just speaking
from experience..."
"What experience?" Ginny asked coldly." Sorry, but I
don't recall you ever having a boyfriend. I don't recall
anyone even liking you! So what the hell are you talking
about?" Hermione just sat there staring at Ginny. How
could she be so cruel? all Hermione was saying was to be
careful. Hermione swallowed down what felt like tears.
"That was really low." Hermione muttered.
Ginny glared at her. "Yeah, whatever. I'm leaving." and
with that she stormed off. Hermione stared after her in
disbelief. finally, Ron and Harry noticed Hermione.
"what's with Ginny?"asked Ron. Hermione scoffed. the only reason they were now paying attention to her was because of Ginny, not because they wanted to talk to her.
"I don't know." Hermione muttered bitterly."Time of the
month I guess." Ron and Harry snickered and went back to
discussing the quidditch game coming up. Hermione sighed
and took out a book. It looked like it was gonna be a
long day.
After breakfast, the trio made their way to the charms
classroom. Hermione sat in the back of the classroom and
Harry and Ron followed suit. The bell rang and Professor
Flitwick started his lecture on the Deftiosa Charm.
"The deftiosa charm is often used for those in the
mining or construction industry. It causes the person
who is being charmed to lose hearing for a brief moment.
It is useful during big explosions, crashes, and recitals.
There is no way to reverse the spell, it just wears off
on it's own. Be careful, though, for if pronounced wrong, it might result in death." Flitwick explained.
"sir, if this spell is dangerous, why teach it to us?"
Hermione asked. She really didn't see the point in
needing to know how to make people go deaf.
"It is important, dear, in case you ever are in such a
situation where you are in danger of really becoming deafbecause of a loud noise. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to continue my lesson." Flitwick replied, a little annoyedthat he had been interupted.
"Sorry!" Hermione muttered sarcasticly, in a low voice
so only Harry and Ron heard."What crawled up his ass?"
Harry and Ron muffled a laugh.
"whoa, Hermione. What's up with you today? It's so unlike you to be talking like that about a teacher." Harry asked.
Hermione rolled her eyes."Nothing, Ok?!" She replied
exasperated." I'm just having a bad day, that's all." She instantly felt bad. she knew she shouldn't be griping Harry like that. It just slipped though.
"Ok, ok! You don't have to get so defensive. I was just
asking..."
"Mr. Potter! Would you mind sharing with the class what
is so important that you can't till after class?" the
tiny professor said. By the look on his face you could
tell that he was fed up with being interupted.
"Nothing, sir." Harry muttered.
"Good. Then, if you don't mind, I'm trying to teach the
class something." Flitwick responded. After that, Harry
and Hermione shut up. Ron, who hadn't said anything to
start with, kept quiet. finally the bell rang and the
three hurried out of the classroom.
"Thanks a lot, Hermione. you nearly got me detention."
Harry said spitefully.
"Me?! Your the one who was talking! You didn't have to
say anything back." hermione snapped back.
"Well sorry for wondering why your in such a bad mood
today!" Harry yelled back.
"He's got a point, Hermione. You have been rather moody
today." Ron pointed out.
"shut up, Ron. this has nothing to do with you. It has
nothing to do with you either, Harry. Just stay out of
my business, ok?!" Hermione demanded before she stormed
off. What did it matter to them if she was upset anyways?It's not like they really cared. If they cared, they wouldn't have been ditching her so much like they have been doing for the past month.
Hermione was still fuming when she got to the Greenhousefor Herbology. Why was she in such a bad mood anyways,Hermione wondered. She hadn't gotten much sleep the night before, but she rarely got the full 8 hours, so that wasn't it. And Harry and Ron had been practically ignoring her (in her opinion at least) for the past month so that wasn't it either. Maybe it was the whole 'Ginny Thing' from before. But that didn't seem to be it either.Maybe it was just everything put together.
What ever it was, it was making Hermione miserable. More miserable than she already was. She glanced over at Harry and Ron. Both seemed to be perfectly content with Hermione not there. Maybe they didn't need her, but she knew she needed them.Hermione stood up and went over to whereHarry and Ron were sitting to apologize. As bad of a dayas it was, it would only get worse if she didn't have Harry and ron there to confide in. And even though they weren't around much, something is better than nothing.
"Hey guys." She said sheepishly. They both looked up to her a little surprised. They weren't used to her apologizing so quickly. " I just wanted to say sorry. I've just been in a really bad mood today."
"We noticed." Ron replied. "would you mind please telling us why, though?"
"It's just that...never mind." Hermione quickly cut
herself off. she wasn't about to go whining about all
her problems to them. Even if they were her best friends, they were her problems and she could deal with it by herself. Ron let out an annoyed sigh and Harry rolled his eyes, but they stopped asking. If Hermione didn't want to tell them, fine.
Hermione sat down with them just as Professor Sprout
came in.
"Today we're going to be doing a small lab, but first
let me hand back your homework from last week." Sprout
stated as she handed out the papers. Hermione grinned
when Sprout handed her her paper, but for some reason
Professor Sprout didn't smile back. Hermione just
shrugged. even though she usually got ten out of ten on
her homework, it still made her happy each time.
Hermione looked at her paper and her jaw dropped. Eight
out of ten?! That couldn't be right. How could she get
eight out of ten? She was Hermione! She never got
things wrong on her homework. It was impossible. There
had to be a mistake. There just had to be.
"Uhh, Professor? are you sure these are graded right?"
Hermione asked. Professor sprout frowned and took the
paper from Hermione to look it over.
"Yes it is." Sprout said before rushing off to finish
handing out papers.
"I can't believe this! Look what she gave me!" hermione
said, still in shock. She handed the paper to Ron and
Harry. Harry scoffed in disbelief and Ron tried to hide
a smile.
"wow. I never thought I'd see the day. Hermione actually
got something wrong." Ron said in amazement.
"It's not funny!" Hermione snapped when Ron failed to
supress a laugh.
"Relax, Hermione. It's just one homework paper. It
happens to everyone." Harry said.
"Not me." Hermione replied stubbornly. Across the room,
someone let out a surprised yell. All three whirled
around to see who it was.
"Ohh my god!" Neville exclaimed." I actually got 10 out
of 10! I can't believe this! I gotta write gran..." He
kept fumbling on. Hermione jaw dropped yet again.
"Neville... beat... me..."Hermione said through clenched
teeth. "that's just not right." Ron was now laughing. He
couldn't hold it in any longer. Harry couldn't help but
grin. It was about time Hermione was wrong. She was right so often, it was getting to be freaky.
"Go Neville."Harry said with a laugh. Hermione glared at
him and he instantly shut up.
This just couldn't be right.
Everything was going so wrong! I t was official. This
was one of the worse days in Hermione's life. Almost as
bad as that day in second grade when she lost the
spelling bee. her father was so dissappointed in her. He
didn't say anything, but you could see it in his eyes.
Hermione hated that day. she hated the way her father
looked at her. As if he was wondering if they were reallyrelated. From then on, Hermione vowed to do her best for her father. And ever since that day, she has.
For the rest of the day she refused to talk to anybody.
She just spent her whole lunch hour rereading what the
homework was on. Harry tried to convince her to eat but
she just left to the library. She had made a mistake once(actually twice but who cares?), and she wasn't planning on doing it again. Not matter what it takes, she wasn't going to let Neville, or anyone else be better than her.
A/N: Ok, ok. I know. so I made it so that she takes her
homework way too seriously. But that's how her character
is developed to be in the books! anywhoo, please review!
email me if you have suggestions on how to make this
better. Also, would anyone mind telling me what a beta
reader is? Ohh yeah, sorry if the language offended
anyone, but that's what I'm used to hearing (my sister
has a big 'pottymouth'. hehe... I love that phrase.).Like I said before, I put it in there for effect.
can be strick. MY parents are doctors and they're strick.Sorry this took so long to get up. I had it done, it'sjust everytime I would try to post it, it wouldn't work.
