Dancing With The Enemy
During the evening, Ron and Harry left for Quidditch practice, leaving Hermione alone in the library to do her homework.
She was reading A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi while doing an essay about the writer. It was a quiet evening; she didn't disturb anyone and nothing disturbed her. It was always calm and quiet at the library. That's why she spends half of her time there. She looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was 8.00 p.m. Ron and Harry must have gone back to the Common Room already.
She stacked all the books on top of each other and said, "Winggardium Leviosa!"
The books rose in the air and floated behind Hermione as she walked. She turned a corner and saw Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and a giggling Pansy hiding behind a stone gargoyle as if waiting for something.
"Malfoy!" she shouted.
Pansy jumped followed by a horrible shriek and Malfoy almost screamed.
"What the bloody hell are you doing here, Granger?" he asked, putting on his famous smirk.
"I was going to ask you the same thing, Malfoy!" The books that were following her stopped at her side.
"Your little pets, Granger?" Pansy snarled.
"Well, you should be taking of your little 'pets' before finger actually goes right up to his brain." Hermione shot back.
Both Pansy and Draco looked confused for a minute but turned around to see Goyle picking his nose stupidly.
"Goyle!" Draco hissed and Goyle immediately pulled his finger back.
Hermione chuckled and attempted to continue walking but Pansy blocked her way. "Draco and I are going to the ball together!"
"Good for you. Now move."
"Who are you going with, Granger?"
"I said, move!"
"And Pansy said, who are you going with, Granger?" asked Draco.
Hermione gave them both icy glares before quietly saying, "Noone..."
"I'm sorry, I can't hear you!" Draco placed his palm at the back of his ear.
"I said," Hermione's voice more colder "no one, Malfoy or do you have hearing problems?!"
"I can't say I'm surprised." he replied. "I mean, who would ever want to go with a filthy mud-blood with you?"
Hermione couldn't think of any good come backs. She stood there, mouth half opened, trying to think of a really good come back but just came up with this: "Ferret face!"
"You know, since I'm very generous, I'll dance with you during the ball." said Draco, mockingly.
"No, thank you, Malfoy. I'd rather dance with a monkey!"
"Ohh! Don't you mean weasel? That Weasley boy?" asked Pansy mockingly.
Hermione restrained her self from pulling out her wand and jinxing Pansy. "He is not a weasel!"
"What is going on here?" shouted a voice.
Hermione spun around and saw Professor Snape walking towards them.
"I don't know, Professor! Granger just started shouting at us!" said Malfoy.
Snape glared at Hermione. "5 points from Gryffindor for disturbing the peace."
"Disturbing the peace?!" Hermione repeated in disbelief. "I'm not disturbing the peace! I simple happen to walk by and saw them hiding behind that statue!"
"5 more points from Gryffindor for talking back!"
Malfoy and the others restrained themselves to laugh.
"Well, I hope you don't do anything more, Miss Granger or I shall take away more points." said Snape before he left.
He stopped and turned around. "Oh, I hope you all are present during dinner tomorrow." s\he said and continued leaving.
Hermione tightened her jaw and continued to walk away, the books right at her heels. She could hear Malfoy and Pansy's laughter behind her as she walked on.
"Mimbulus Mimbletonia!" she shouted at the Fat Lady.
"Well, don't take out your anger on me, dear!"
"S-sorry. I had a rough day." she said as the Fat Lady's portrait swung open and she walked inside, followed by the books.
"Where have you been, Mione?! We were worried sick about you!" said Ron.
"Oh, that's kind of you, mother!"
Harry controlled himself from laughing. Hermione realized that they were both working on their essays for Professor Flitwick.
"You still haven't finished it?!" she shrieked. "I finished it ages ago!"
"Really? Well, congratulations then Mione." said Ron sarcastically.
"Sorry. I had a rough day." she sighed and tolf them what happened.
"Disturbing the peace?!" Harry shoouted in disbelief.
Hermione nodded her head. "Yes and he also said that he hopes we all are present during dinner tomorrow."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Well, I better go to sleep."
Sorry this chapter had to be short! I have a cold and lots of work to do. I'm not Super Girl!
