Take my Hand Chapter 2- Questions and Answers
"Hermione?" Ginny said while running out breath to catch up with Hermione who was walking briskly down the hallway. "Hermione, please, wait up! I…"
"I know, and I'm finished discussing it." Hermione said roughly and spun on her heel to exit the quarrel that was about to happen between Ginny and her.
"Just, I can explain, please." Ginny begged.
"You can't." Hermione said still walking away. "And when you are able to then explain. Good bye Ginny."
"Hermione, wait!" Ginny exclaimed while running down the hallway, but there was no point, Hermione was gone.
Hermione was almost late to her next lesson with Professor Snape so she continued to walk vigorously down the hallway. A voice then startled her and sent a tint of red to her already rosy cheeks.
"Hermione?" The male voice spoke. "Are you heading to Professor Snape's class?"
Hermione rotated to face the voice. It was Neville. His British accent was thick and just the way he talked to her made her want to faint.
"Good to see you Neville! Yes, I was just heading there," Hermione replied excitedly.
"Oh, all right. Well do mind if I walk with you, just in case?" Neville asked nervously with his head hanging down.
"Not at all!" Hermione was so excited to get to class. Today Snape was teaching them how to make love potions.
They walked silently down the hallway until Hermione broke the silence between them. "So, did you enjoy the dance lesson with McGonagall?"
"Uh, yes, I mean, it was different," he replied still nervous. "Speaking of the dance, will you…"
"Loving Ms. Granger up before class Mr. Longbottom?" Snape's cunning voice cut the conversation between Neville and Hermione.
"I, we, but…" Neville was totally embarrassed now, turning even redder in the face. His hands were clenched into fists that were soaked in sweat.
"Professor, Neville just had a question about the potion we had made the other day." Hermione saved Neville in the discussion that had arose amongst them. "That is why we were walking together."
"I see. Well get in the room, you are already late," Snape said turning his back to both of them.
Hermione scurried into the classroom; she had never been late to any of her classes. She took a seat as Harry and Ron started to pivot in their chairs. "Hermione, you're late!" they both exclaimed.
"Don't mention it," she said annoyed.
After class was complete Neville tried to catch up with Hermione about the mistake he had made earlier that morning. "Hermione, I'm so sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to cause you any discipline," he looked around. "Hermione?" but it was too late, Hermione had already run off to her next class with out him. He couldn't ask her the one question on his mind.
