Chapter 10: What's So Wrong with Revenge?

Malfoy was so unreadable! I was staring at him from across the hall during dinner. I watched him talk with his friends, never showing a flicker of emotion. I hate him. I hate everything about him. He needed to quit. If he was going to play dirty like that than so was I.

"Hermionewhatareyoulookingat," Ron mumbled through a mouthful of pumpkin pasties.

"Nothing," I quickly said, turning my attention to Ron and Harry.

"What class do you have next?" Harry asked sipping his pumpkin juice.

"I have divination."I groaned. Divination was a worthless class. It was all a load of toad strudel. I just signed up for the lass so I could fill my schedule. "Then tonight I have Astronomy," I said. I loved astronomy, it was so fascinating.

"Oh. Ron and I have transfiguration, "harry said looking glum.

"Well I'll see you two around," I said getting up from the table as the other students started to leave as well.

I quickly made my way through the halls to get to divination, which was on the top floor. I made it just in time, and out of breath. I took a seat in front of an empty glass ball and pulled out my books. I scanned the room. Neither Connor nor…. Malfoy were in my class. Why did I care if Malfoy was in my class? That low life piece of Hippogriff dung. I still can't believe he did that to me in Potions class. He deserved a smack in the face. I thought back to third year and smiled. That was the best day of my life. He needs to resign from Heads .

Professor Trelawney came into the room, announcing it was the beginning of class. I tried to shut off my mind and focus on the completely meaningless lesson, but all I could think about was Malfoy. I wanted revenge. And what was so wrong with a little revenge? He did something horrid to me, so why couldn't I do something back? Merlin knows he has been vile to me over the years, so what was wrong with a little pay back? Yes, nothing was wrong with it. And it was only a little. Just a tincey wincey.

Now that I was convinced revenge was the right thing to do, I had to make up a plan. What did Malfoy value most…? Ha. That was a silly question. Everyone knew what he valued. Money, his looks, and most of all his reputation. Money; I couldn't steal form him obviously. So that one was out of the picture for now. Reputation; that would come in time. Looks; that was by far the easiest thing to change about him. He cherished his quidditch body, his pale creamy skin, his stormy grey eyes, Oh that fugly smirk, and most of all his golden Malfoy locks. A light bulb turned on in my mind as I reminded myself of his traits. I will need Harry's cloak tonight. I need to make a quick stop at Hogsmade. I smirked at the evil plan forming in my mind.

After that bore of a class, I had an hour before Astronomy class. I hoped Harry and Ron would be in the Gryffindor common room.


"Licorice wand," I said. I walked through the portrait to see many familiar faces in the common room. I had not been in this room since last year.

"Oy! Its -ermione!" said a strong Irish accent. I turned around to see a smiling Seamus and Dean. "It's nice to see you around –ere." He said giving me a hug.

"Yeah I have been really busy in the Heads dorm," I said, a little surprised by his hug. I missed seeing him and Dean and the rest of the Gryffindors.

"Have you seen Harry around?" I ask.

"Yeah -e's upstairs. Should I bring -im down for ya?" he asked.

"Yeah that would be great. Thanks Seamus," I said giving him a smile. He nodded and went up to the boy's dormitory. Soon Harry came down.

"Hey Hermione what's up?" he asked.

"I was wondering if you could do me a favor." I gestured him closer. "Can I barrow your dad's cloak?" I whisper. He snapped his head back in surprise.

"Yeah sure. But what for?" he asked suspiciously.

"Oh I just need to go to Hogsmade, but I don't want to get caught being off the grounds." I say, hoping he didn't ask me what I needed from Hogsmade. Harry and Ron didn't need to know about the Malfoy problem, things would only get worse.

"Alright, I'll be right back," he said going up the stairs. I breathed out in relief. He came back with the cloak and handed it to me.

"Be careful," he warned. I nodded and left the common room.

I went out of the common room to the nearly empty hall. I needed a place to put this cloak on with no one seeing. I saw a broom closet and ran to it. I whipped the door open and was about to step in.

"AHH!" I yell closing the door quickly. There were two fifth years snogging their faces off in the broom closet! I shake my head to try and get that visual out of my mind. I straiten myself out and knock on the door. Slowly, two fifth year Hufflepuffs pop their heads out, their eyes wide.

"Uh, twenty points from Hufflepuff for uh… Public display of affection. "I say closing the door quickly. Hey, I had to do my Heads duty. Now let's just forget I even saw that. I say to myself. Then I remember my mission. I have to get the cloak on and go to Hogsmade before Astronomy class! I run to an empty classroom and make sure no snogging students are around. I flip the coat on, and see myself disappear. This cloak was so cool.

I leave the room and head out on my mission…
