Draco
Coffee. That's what I need. Coffee. Lots and lots of it.
I headed to the Slytherin table for some breakfast, the sun was almost rising giving the great hall a very peaceful look. Last nights events were…weird, yes that's the word bloody weird. Coffee. All I need is one cup, it'll wake me up, seeing as I didn't sleep a wink last night due to the "wonderful" news I received. Bloody hell what am I doing with my life. The light side! Are you fucking kidding me! Coffee.
"Ready for double potions today mate?"
"what?"
"Double potions is our last class of the day"
It was Blaise , always with the happy news of the day.
"But its still breakfast" Coffee.
"Did you see the new girl last night what a looker she is"
"Uhuh" Whatever, she's the least of my problems.
"Did you not see her? Oi! Are you alright Draco?"
It killed me to not tell Blaise about last nights events.
"yea, yea Im fine"
"Well on the subject of girls, seen Granger lately?"
"What?"
"That girl has grown up if you know what I mean"
"The mudblood!" it was weird I hadn't insulted Granger in a while, something is wrong with me, "she's a piece of vermin, don't tell me you're going to bed her?"
"No, I don't want to bed her, I want to be her friend"
"Friend!?" What was this boy thinking, Slytherins do not befriend Gryffindors, let alone Mudblood Gryffindors.
"Yes, she's incredibley smart and you must admit that she does look really good, you're just mad because you can never have her"
"Excuse me I can have whoever I want" Im a Malfoy of course " But I wouldn't want to tarnish myself with a filthy mudblood"
"You could never have her"
"Are you challenging me Zabini?"
"No, not at all, I'm just telling you that I enjoy her company and would like to be friends with her, if you want to bed her go right ahead"
"I don't want to bed her!" I said that a bit to loud a few heads turned to see what all the comotion was.
"Of course you don't, because you can't, Im not saying your not physically fit enough too, but that you can never get her to give in, not to a Slytherin"
"Whatever, Im gonna go to class, you can go skip off into the sunset with your little mudblod" I got up from the table and started to leave. I can bed Granger. I can bed her? I CAN BED GRANGER! Wait what am I thinking. Stupid mudblood is messing with my head. I guess Blaise is right she does look-NO!
"Watch where you're going" I stopped to see who dared speak to me in that tone, it was Elektra, "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see people are trying to walk" she continued coolly.
"Im a Malfoy I don't move for anyone" I retorted putting on my coldest face.
"Ooh I got shivers, should I run in fear now? Look the Malfoy name my instill fear in others, but not me, actually it makes me smile, no, not smile, laugh, it's not like you can hurt me" she put her hand up and the book that had fallen flew up, she grabbed it and walked away. What the hell, she did wandless magic! Wait what did she mean I can't hurt her? Does she know about my going to the light side? Does this mean The "Golden trio" (Disgusting) knows too. Does this mean I need to be nice them. These thoughts plagued me as I headed to transfiguration.
The day went by uneventfully which was always odd for Hogwarts. But that was soon about to change.
Hermione
"Double potions" Harry groaned as we left lunch and headed towards the dungeons. It was bad enought that we had double potions but what made it worse (which is hard to do) was that we had it with Slytherin. We walked in and headed for our usual seats in the back.
"Oh Ms. Granger" That disturbing voice called " why don't you have a seat up here...with Mr. Malfoy"
My face must have been bent in disgust, because Snapes mouth was slowly twisting into a smile. I took my seat next to Malfoy. Repulsive. He was talking to Blaise, who was sitting in the seat behind him.
"Hello Hermione" Blaise said as I took my seat. The class froze. They stared at Blaise then at me. Is it a show they want?
"Hi Blaise" I said with a sweet smile. I looked over and saw Harry and Ron looking at Blaise with fire in their eyes. The silence was getting akward. Thankfully Elektra walked in and everyone began whispering. She was a mystery. So many rumors had begun circulating about her in just one day. The class continued their mindless whispering as Elektra who seemed obliviant to it all, took a seat next to Blaise.
"Quiet!" Snaped bellowed, the bell rang and class begun " Today we will be making a healing potion, who can tell me the most important ingredient in any healing potion?"
I know this its...slug juice. No. Its honeydew.NO. I know this, I know this! I don't know this!
"No one? Ah Ms. Serpent" Elektra knew? But I didn't know, how does she know!
"The most important ingredient in any healing potion is Bat wings, the elasticity in the wing helps heal major cuts and broken bones" she answered cooly. The class was in shock, I didn't know. I sighed angrily, Malfoy on the other hand began sniggering.
"What" I whispered angrily.
"You didn't know the answer" he whispered back and continued to laugh.
"Right" Snape tapped on the board and the ingredients and instructions appeared "You will be making the Guérir potion, this potion is made for extreme situations, you and your partner will work together. Go"
I turned to Malfoy who had his trademark smirk on his face" I'll get the ingredients you go get the cauldron and utensils" I was about to get up.
"No" he said.
"Excuse me"
"I'll get the ingredients you go get the cauldron" I gave another angry sigh, I knew he was going to be difficult but this is ridiculous. I got up and headed to the supply closet I took out a Cauldron and measuring cups. I headed back to our seats where Malfoy had already begun cutting up the ingredients.
"You're cutting that wrong" I said looking at the bat wing "Vertical strips not horizontal"
"I'll cut them however I want to cut them"
"This isn't about you Malfoy, we're both getting graded for this!" what an idiot. I reached for the bat wings and tried grabbing them but Malfoy pulled them away and waved the knife at me.
"Stop waving that knife around you half-wit"
"What did you call me" Our argument began escalating.
"Are you deaf! Or did I stutter!"
The class went quiet evryone forgot about their potions and began to listen to our argument.
"Listen to me Mudblood" he said spitting the last word out, he moved closer to me " you think your smart now cause you've learned some new words?" he moved closer "you have dirty blood and thats never going to change" another step closer " you're vermin, beginging with bush on your head down to the very last bit of you" he came even closer there were only a few feet seperating us.
"Bite me" I said closing the space between us.
"MS. GRANGER, MR. MALFOY! What is going on here! DETENTION for the the both of you today after dinner 7:00 sharp! Now take your seats all of you and finish your potion!"
We both returned to our work and finished the potion with out speaking to eachother once.
7:00 sharp
Draco
Damn Granger, what the hell was wrong with her she should have just let me cut up the peices how I liked. But no she had to be smart ass Mudblood and but in, hah smart ass, but in, Im funny. I walked into the potions classroom Granger was already waiting, she was reading a book and didn't even notice I had walked in. She looked so deep in thought, I looked at the cover of the book Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle. What the hell are Nicomachean Ethics? She's was really cute when she was angry. Wait what did I just think!? This is becoming to much. I sat on one of the desks making it move causing noise. she looked up, our eyes met no emotion passed, we just stared. I twisted my lips into my infamous smirk. She rolled her eyes and went back to her book.
Snapes office door opened and Elektra walked out followed by Snape.
"Thank you Proffesor" she said and walked out. Odd.
"You two" he said and gestured us forward "You'll scrub all the cauldrons clean, no magic" he pointed to the supply closet "all the supplies you will need are in there and the cauldrons are in there usual spot, I'll check on you in one hour" and with that he walked out.
We stood there for a while until Granger walked over to the supply closet and took out a towel a spray bottle and a cauldron and began to clean. I stood there looking at her.
"What?"
"Sorry" WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing, what are you reading?"
"Why?"
"I just want to know, you don't have to get touchy about it" she calmed down and picked up her book.
"Nicomechean Ethics by Aristotle"
"Muggle?"
"Yes" I scoffed. "Well if your going to be ignorant there's no point"
"Im not being ignorant, I-"
"Then what are you doing, you hear muggle and your stupid idea's come out"
"If you let me finish what I was saying maybe-"
"You know I thought you were going to be civil but obviously-" I went up to her and pinned her against the wall.
"Will you shutup and let me finish my sentence?" She nodded I felt her body tense up against mine, she was afraid.
"Scared?" I said a smirk on my face.
"No" her voice quiverred, I pushed her a l ittle more.
