Chapter 2
Invisible and Stuck to the Enemy
Hermione pulled herself off the floor as quickly as possible. Her face was the color of a tomato. It was bad enough that Snape had made fun of her in class, but then, Draco had tripped her in front of the entire class, and to make things worse, she was covered in orange and gray potion.
When she stood up she glared at Draco, expecting to see his smirking face staring back at her. What she did not expect to see however was him staring back at her wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
Before she could think on it too much, she noticed that the rest of the room wore similar expressions, including, Harry, Ron, and Snape.
Hermione uncomfortably brought her hands to her body and began to attempt to knock the gooey potions off her, but to her surprise, she had no potion on her at all.
Hermione stood there in shock for a moment wondering how just moments ago, she had seen orange and gray potion on her and now somehow, she did not. She assumed that was what the rest of the class was staring at as well, until she heard the horrified voice of Ron say, "Where, where is she? Where did she go?"
The entire room began searching the room frantically with their eyes.
Hermione found this extremely odd and yelled, "Um what do you mean where am I? I am right here." But nobody seemed to hear her.
"Malfoy you did this." Harry yelled angrily.
"Calm
down Potter." Snape said suddenly. "If believe that Miss Granger,
is in fact still in this room."
"Well of course I am still"
Hermione started, but Snape cut her off as though he hadn't heard
her. Which this didn't shock Hermione, for that was a thing Snape
normally did.
"What do you mean? I don't see her!" Ron said, still sounding terrified.
"I believe that due to Miss Grangers clumsiness, when she managed to knock over the cauldrons, she may have been splattered with invisabella."
"Her clumsiness," Harry said coldly. " Malfoy tripped her."
"Ten points for interrupting a teacher, Mr. Potter. Now as I was saying, if she was splattered with invisabella she will be impossible to see, now Miss Granger, I know you can hear me, where are you." Snape asked calmly.
"I'm right here." Hemrione yelled.
"Miss Granger, you are not being funny, answer me this instant." Snape said again angrily.
"I did, I am right here." Hermione yelled and to her horror no one seemed to be able to hear her.
"You answer me Miss Granger or you will be having detention for a month." Snape spat.
"Sir, I don't think it would be like Hermione not to answer you." Harry said quietly.
Snape stared at Harry for a few moments and said, " Do any of you remember if both potions happen to spill on Miss Granger?"
The entire class all seemed to talk at once, all saying how they were sure that she had been splashed with both potions.
"I see" Snape said, " Well as there are no record of these to potions ever being mixed together, the results are really quite unpredictable. Also, these potions were not really meant to touch skin, they are supposed to be taken by mouth."
Hermione swallowed hard. She had never heard of any incident where these two potions had been mixed together and splashed on human skin either.
So far, the potion seemed to have resulted in making her invisible, and unable to be heard.
As the entire class, stared at Snape in shock, an idea occurred to Hermione. She took a step towards Snape and attempted to tap him on the shoulder, but to her horror, her hand seemed to go right through him. Now panicked, she attempted to grab a book off of Draco's desk, desperate to make her presence known, but her hand went through it just as it had done when she tried to touch Snape.
"So what are we going to do?" Harry asked.
"Everyone spread out and walk around the room. If she is invisible, one of us is bound to bump into her." Snape said.
Hermione watched helpless as the class groped around the room for her, which she knew would be pointless, since they would go right through her.
Hermione nearly broke into tears as she watched as Harry walked up to her and swing his arms in her direction, swinging them right through her.
Oh God, Hermione thought. What if they can't find out what happened to me and how long will these effects last?
After a good ten minutes of everyone searching for Hermione, well everyone except Draco who had barely moved away from his seat, she still was not found.
Why that evil little git. He isn't even looking and he's the reason I ended up like this! Hermione thought to herself angrily.
"Alright it seems that I will have to have a word with the Head Master about this, mishap. As for the rest of you, class dismissed." Snape said.
"But what about Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Did
you not hear me Potter, I said that I am going to have a word with
the Head Master about this. I am sure he will be able to sort it
out."
"But what about Malfoy, he's the one who caused it?"
Ron yelled.
However, Snape pretending as if he didn't hear him, turned and walked out of the classroom to go find the Head Master, leaving a bewildered and angry Harry and Ron behind.
Hermione watched her friends helplessly.
However, suddenly she felt a force drag her back wards and knock her off her feet to the ground.
"What the…?" Hermione said, but she felt the force dragging her again.
She was dragged all the way out of the dungeons where she screamed, even though nobody could hear her, and she was drug through people, even though nobody could feel or see her.
Suddenly, the force dragging her stopped and she found herself, right next to none other than Draco Malfoy.
Hermione pulled herself up confused and attempted to walk the opposite direction of Draco, but it seemed she couldn't walk two feet without feeling an invisible force hold her back.
"What is going …oh." Hermione said as she remembered that she was also splattered with magnetismimperia.
Hermione felt as she was about to faint as realization dawned on her. Draco was closest to her when she was splashed with the potion, which meant that she was magnetized to him.
Hermione couldn't believe it. She was unable to be seen, heard, or felt, and was also attached to the boy that she had loathed since her first year.
Draco's laugh brought her back to her senses as she heard him say, "I believe I deserve an applause for getting rid of that filthy mudblood."
The Slytherins around him cheered and applauded. Hermione felt anger boil up inside her once more.
"I wondered what happened to her though?" Pansy asked.
"I honestly couldn't care less." Draco said, who honestly looked it as he set off down the corridor, unknowingly dragging Hermione behind.
"And did you see Potter and Weasleys face?" Draco drawled. "There so worried about that little mudblood that they don't stand a chance against us at quidditch tomorrow, I mean I doubt if they even play."
"Yeah good thing too, because we didn't stand a chance if Potter played…" Crabbe started to say, but trailed off at the threatening look Draco gave him.
"Ha, that's a laugh, Potter good at quidditch. I could catch the snitch faster than him with my fucking eyes closed." Draco said angrily.
"Well then maybe you should start shutting your eyes then, because I am tired of Potter always catching the snitch first." Goyle said.
Draco glared at him, but before he could say anything Pansy said, "Aw Draco could have always caught the snitch faster if he tried, he just doesn't feel that he has to put his full effort into it and show off like Potter does."
Hermione snorted at this.
Draco seemed to calm down a little at this.
"Yeah well, whatever, I have more important things to do then to discuss Potter." Draco said and with that, took off, leaving a slightly disappointed Pansy behind.
Hermione sighed and walked along with him, knowing that she would be forced to anyway.
She followed him until he stopped at a portrait, where she watched him say, "pureblood" and watched as the portrait swung open.
Hermione followed Draco into the Slytherin common room. She had never been in there before, but she remembered Ron and Harry telling her about it in their second year.
They had told her that the Slytherin common room was darker and gloomier than the Gryffindor common room and looking around she had to admit, they were right.
She followed Draco as he pushed a couple of terrified third years out of his way.
She followed him all the way until his dormitory, where he walked over and sat on his bed and to Hermione's surprise took out his transfigurations book and began to read.
"Malfoy actually studies." Hermione said to herself as she too took a seat on Malfoy's silver and green bed.
Hermione sighed, "Oh please let someone figure out what has happened to me soon."
She needed to get to a library and so that she could try and figure out how to get herself back to normal, but with her being magnetized to Draco, made it impossible for her to do that. Her only hope was that Dumbledore would know what to do.
After a few minutes of Hermione feeling sorry for herself, she began to feel bored and she looked over Draco's shoulder and began reading as well. Just because she was invisible and magnetized to Draco was no reason for her to get behind in her studies.
She sighed disappointed when she had saw that she had already read the chapter Draco was on, but decided it couldn't hurt to reread it again.
After about a half an hour, Hermione heard a sound at the door that took hers and Draco's attention off the book.
As the doorknob began to turn, Hermione watched as Draco stuffed his book hastily under his pillow.
A tall Slytherin boy walked in, that Hermione recognized as a Blaise Zabini.
"Oh, I didn't know anyone was up here." Blaise drawled in a voice much like Draco. "I just came up here to get my broom. You want to come out and practice some quiddicth with me, it's the big game tomorrow and all."
Hermione's heart dropped. She had completely forgotten about the game tomorrow.
Would she still be attached to Draco tomorrow? She wondered. She shivered at that terrifying thought.
She was terrified of flying.
"No, actually I was about to take a nap, before you came up here and rudely interrupted me." Draco snapped.
"Sorry man." Blaise said coldly. "What's up your ass anyway?"
"Nothing I am just get annoyed when people interrupt my sleep." Draco snapped back.
Blaise rolled his eyes, got his broom and left the room without another word to Draco.
Hermione had always known Draco to act coldly towards her and other houses, but it shocked her that he was so cold to someone in his own house and someone who was suppose to be his friend.
Before she could think on it too much, Hermione saw Draco get out his transfiguration book and began reading it again.
She couldn't help but find it amusing that Draco felt he needed to hide the fact that he studies.
When she thought about it though, she realized that Harry and Ron where kind of the same way.
Hermione remembered last year when to her annoyance Ron and Lavender had gone out, and once she over heard Lavender asking Ron if he wanted to study with her and he told her that he didn't need to study.
Hermione remembered laughing hard at his answer.
She shook her head.
She didn't understand, why did boys think it was un cool to study.
"Boys, I am not even going to try and understand them." Hermione said to herself.
A little while later, Draco snapped his book shut and put it away.
"Dinner time." He said to himself.
Hemrione couldn't help but giggle at this.
Draco talked to himself. That was something that she usually did.
Hermione follwed Draco into the Great Hall.
She caught sight of Harry and Ron over at the Gryffindor table, both looking troubled.
Hermione took a step towards them, but as soon as she did she felt the magnetic force stop her and pull her closer to Draco, who began walking over to the Slytherin table.
She sadly walked over with him and sat down sulking as Draco was greeted by his fellow Slytherins.
As everyone began to shovel food onto their plates, a horrifying thought hit Hermione.
"How am I going to be able to eat if I can't touch anything?" She said aloud.
She watched as Draco began reaching for food as well.
She didn't know what she was going to do. If she didn't eat anything she would starve and if nobody realized what had happened to her soon she would die of starvation.
Hermione sighed and attempted to grab a dinner roll, but her hand went straight through it.
Hermione sighed and rested her chin on one of her hands at a complete loss of what to do.
After a few minutes of sitting with the Slytherins, she noticed that none of the Slytherins were talking to each other. They all ate their food in silence, which Hermione found extremely weird.
She turned her head towards Draco and watched him eat, with what surprised her, elegance.
He ate like a perfect gentleman, and had the best table manners that she had ever seen.
For a split second she was glad that she was invisible and unable to eat because she would look like a pig next to Draco.
That thought vanished as soon as saw Draco go for treacle tart, which was one of her favorite desserts and wished she could eat and be seen again.
However, oddly enough, the more Hermione watched Draco eat, the less hungry she was.
"God I'm full." Draco said, running his stomach when he had finished eaten.
To Hermione's surprise, she felt full too, even though she hadn't eaten a thing.
As Hermione sat trying to figure it out she heard Draco say, "Is it just me or are we a little short on staff tonight?" Hermione turned and looked at the staff table. Draco was right, Dumbledore, Mcgonagall, Hagrid, and Snape were all absent.
"There probably out looking for that mudblood bitch Granger." Pansy said loudly.
"Yeah." Draco said with a satisfied smirk. "Probably."
"Oh Draco, do you think they will ever find her?" Pansy asked, placing her hand on Draco's leg.
Draco sighed. "Probably. I mean I know I am not lucky enough to be rid of that know it all bitch forever.
Hermione glared at Draco. She couldn't believe it.
This had to be the single worst day of her entire life.
Not only did she have a humiliating time in potions, and not only was she invisible and unable to be heard or touched, and nobody know where she was, but she just had to be stuck next to Draco Malfoy.
"How could this day get any worse?" Hermione said to herself, now fighting back tears.
She felt Draco stand up next to her, knocking pansy's hand aside and she stood up as well.
"Where are you going" Pansy asked.
"Well if you don't mind I am going to take a piss, but I'll meet you all in the common room in a minute." Draco said, as Hermione's jaw dropped in horror as realization of what Draco said dawned on her.
"It so just got worse." Hermione said in a horrified whisper.
