"Okay, it's called the Time Release Potion.. Hermione read from a book called Less Stress Potions for Time textbook. "It looks like we can find all the ingrediants in Snapes room." Hermione said quickly. Harry stared at Hermione in a cautious way. Ron still looked baffled by the sight of her. "Hermione..er getting this potion is not going to be easy Snape's room has loads of protection spells on it." Harry said warily. " Quite making such a fuss, we get the ingrediants and get out of there like Flying Snorlackle!" Luna shouted loudly. Hermione glared at Luna as if she were insane, she didn't feel comfortable having Luna around, especially since Ron blushed at every glance she gave him. "Luna it's not THAT simple!" Hermione said her anger getting the best of her.
"You have to get countercurses and some protection spells even have to be timed!" Before Luna could retaliate a pale faced boy showed up before them." Well, well, well if it isn't potty, weasel, mudblood, and ohh loony!" Malfoy along with his two croonies Crabbe and Goyle burst into laughter. "You must feel terrible Mudblood, Weasel leaving you for Looney!" "Potter I imagine you feel terrible as well, but you already know why!" Harry felt himself growing angrier, Malfoy knew things he didn't and it was making his blood boil. Malfoy left howling in laughter. "What was that all about? Hermione asked curiously."Umm... how about that potion? Ron asked quickly.
"Okay" Hermione said sternly "Harry you and me will get the ingrediants, Ron you and Luna stand guard." Hermione quickly addressed the group to their positions.
"How will I know what do if someone comes?" Luna asked."Well send a signal of course!" Hermione said throughly irritated.
"No need for a fuss guys let's just get the stuff and get out of there!" Harry said calmly.
Hermione and Harry left for Snape's while Ron and Luna stood guard. "So, did you tell Hermione?" Luna asked. "Tell Hermione what?" Ron asked confused."Listen I know you didn't want any of this to happen but it did. Hermione figured us out." Ron looked at Luna as if she were insane. Suddenly footstep echoed nearby. "Luna go quick!" Ron whispered forcefully as he noticed that the footstep belong to none other than the "angry" Hermione Granger.
Ron tried to hide but was unsucessful. "Ron, we need to talk" she said surprisingly calm. "Listen I don't know what that was with you and Luna and I don't care ok, I need you Ron I need our friendship to work." Hermione came close to Ron. Ron was shocked but couldn't move he had been waiting for this for years. Hermione inched closer "Oh I can't" she gasped. "Why not?"Ron said throughly disappointed. "Because if you would have wanted this you wouldn't have been with Luna." she sighed and walked away, leaving Ron in deeper confusion.
"Okay I get bees malok, and green tea leaves?" Harry asked confused. "Yeah just look at the list" Hermione snatched it from his hands." Is someone a bit angry?" Harry asked."Don't you play with me now Potter, I'm in no mood, and yeah this is all your fault." Harry shrugged Hermione off and walked into Professor Snape's empty office."Wait!" Hermione said. "Why was the door unlocked?" Hermione looked around curiously. "Harry I.." Hermione screamed as someone covered her mouth with their hands, Hermione could see that Harry was bounded to. She struggled to get loose but couldn't. She and Harry were captured.
