Who knew that her life was so interesting?

After hearing a noise I turned around and saw….

"Hi Hermione…. I can explain"

Hermione's POV

"WELL, I'm waiting?"

"I just found it, lying here and didn't know what it was, so I was just having a look when I realized what it was?"

"No, it was in MY room, and even if what you say were true, why is it open to the most recent entry?"

"Err, well…you see I, um…"

"Just hurry up, why were you looking in my diary?"

"Blaise asked m-me to and this w-was easier than actually asking you, so I read your d-diary"

"That still doesn't give you any reas…..why would Blaise ask you to read my diary?"

"Err; well what you need to understand is that Blaise kind of likes you"

"Nice try, why don't you just run off and tell him how the ex-Gryffindor bookworm has a crush on him, SEE IF I CARE!" I yelled

After that I snatched my diary out of his hands and ran to the comfort of my room.

Does he HONESLTY think I am that dumb to believe that the great Blaise Zabini would like plain old me? No he's only making fun of me.

By the time I woke up the next day it was time for class

Great DADA with Sirius, this should be….Interesting.

I quickly got changed and tied my hair in to a simple ponytail, these days my hair simply fell into place instead of a frizzy mess it once was.

I grabbed my books and headed out of the dorm to class, I arrived just in time for Sirius to walk in.

"Okay class, today we are going to have a little tournament. If you could all push the desks to the side we will begin.

Okay, good now we should have enough room. Today, we are going to focus on what you would do if you are stuck without a wand in a dangerous situation."

Oh merlin, hand to hand combat

"For the next few lessons we are going to choose two pairs for a fair one-on-one fight and study on how to defend against muggle attacks and how to fight back.

To make it fair, I will be taking your name out of this charmed cup so that you will fight someone at the same skill level as you, so you won't get too bloodied up. You simply need to hit your opponent 3 times to win. After everyone has "duelled" the winners will fight another pair's winner and the person left will win 50 points for their house; you will be marked based upon your defence, attacking and creativeness, any questions? No? Okay the first pair is Miss Weasley and Miss Parkinson.

3, 2, 1 begin."

Pansy leapt forward to grab Ginny, but she simply stepped to the side and watched her fall to the floor. Once Pansy was on the floor Ginny, as hard as she could, she kicked her "1" Ginny said.

Everyone just starred at her in shock, I expected this, Ginny always got hyped up when she was able to relieve constructive stress, although I think it's more just her fiery temper that gets the better of her.

"Get up" Ginny spat

Pansy swiped her legs around and brought Ginny onto the floor with her

"1" Pansy said in return.

Ginny rolled over sitting up next to Pansy who was still lying on the floor and brought her elbow down into her chest.

"2"

While Ginny was on top of Pansy, Pansy brought her knee up, hitting Ginny in the stomach

"2"

After they got off each other and both crawled back to their feet Pansy again jumped at Ginny, this time Ginny grabbed her twisted her arm behind her back holding her in place.

"Give in?" pansy simply nodded in response

"Okay, so Miss Weasley is the winner, erm if everyone could please bring their attention back here, now what did miss Parkinson do wrong?"

"She left herself too open and not able block Ginny's attack" I answered.

"Good now shall we have the next pair up, Mr Goyle and Mr Serniol"

This would be interesting Jarred Serniol was a seventh year from Durmstrang.

The fight was similar to Ginny and Pansy's; Goyle had left himself too open to attack and Jarred won, hands down.

"Next pair Mr Nott and Miss Granger"

I looked up at Sirius, now would be as good a time as any.

"Black, sir, not Granger" a large smile spread across his face after he realized that I had finally decided to become a Black.

"But professor this is hardly fair, I can't hit a girl" Theo interrupted

"Not scared are you Theodore?" I replied in an icy tone followed by a glare.

"No"

"Prove it"

"Fine"

"3, 2, 1 begin" Sirius said

Theo cautiously threw a punch that I easily dodged.

"Is that really the best you can do?"

I noticed Theo looking over my shoulder; I turned around to see Blaise staring at me wide eyed with….worry? It's all just a joke.

I could hear his footsteps moving closer towards me, I turned around whipping my leg into a high kick across his face…that felt good.

"1…Payback's a bitch Nott"

"So what, I read your diary it isn't as if I told anyone" he said standing up, as soon as he looked up at me I punched as hard as I could.

"YES, you did, we are Slytherin's, only ever doing things for OUR own benefit….2" his nose now bleeding he looked at me.

"That is where you are wrong, I decided, that said person, should figure it out alone" he said jumping on me, pulling me to the floor.

"1"

"Liar" I said sitting on top of him, my legs on either side of my body and punched him again, square in the face.

Standing up I looked back down at Theo who lay unconscious on the floor.

"Miss Black wins" Sirius walked over to Theo casting healing charms on him and then waking him up.

"Err, class dismissed except for Mr Nott and Miss Black, I would like I word.

Hphphphphphp

I didn't have any other classes until after lunch so I decided that I would head to the library.

"Hermione, are you alright?" I looked over my shoulder to see Blaise and Draco waiting in the hallway next to the library.

"Fine, I just let my temper get the better of me." I replied walking into the library.

"Never new you had it in you Granger!"

"Please just leave me be, I don't need this right now, I need to be alone"

"Hermione, why don't you come and get something to eat, you weren't at breakfast and I'm pretty sure you have worn yourself out too much to study."

"No, I just need sometime alone, I'll be fine as soon as I sit down" I said starting to feel dizziness catch up with me.

"Hermione, you look really pale you just need something to eat or go back to your dorm at least."

As if proving his point I felt blackness overcome me and the stone hard floor that my body was soon pressed against.

AN: / well this was quite a long chapter pretty chuffed with my efforts if I can say so myself.

Hope you liked it
