TO all my readers, I am SOOO sorry for not reviewing for so long, but I had final exams, a vacation to Vermont, summer Stuy Prep courses, and everything was just so hot! I promise to UPDATE! So, please enjoy thins chapter and REVIEW!
"This is it," thought Hermione as she made up her mind. "I'm going to give Draco a Love
Potion, and he'll fall in love with Millicent Bullstrode." A maniacal laughter was about to roll
off her mouth but Hermione suppressed it, by clamping her hands over her mouth, and instead
began thinking up a plan. "Well, I'll have to do it in the Heads bathroom, and I'll have to do that
during the night, when Draco won't be able to stop me from moving around. I'll need rose
petals, lilac stems, pink sea shells, pine nuts, mistletoe, some snail guts, a black widows venom,
and a cauldron…" Hermione trailed on as she made a mental list of all the things she needed to
carry out her "fantastic revenge" (or so she called it). Oh my god! It will be so funny when
Draco will finally find out about his true burning passion for Millicent, which if I get lucky will
happen in the Great Hall!" Hermione whispered and with those thoughts drifted off to sleep. In
the morning she was awakened by sound of running water. "Draco beat me to the shower –
Ugggh!" yelled Hermione as she pulled herself up from the floor. She was aching all over and
had a kink in her back. "That will hurt all day" thought Hermione miserably as she stretched out
her body. She then proceeded to walk to her room and "Accio"(ed) her school robes into her
outstretched hands because the bond turned on (it turned off during the night). Hermione then
walked back into Draco's room and changed. "No time for a shower" said Hermione bitterly.
"The King of Dirtville is taking so long, it will be time for breakfast before he comes out!" And
it was true. By the time Draco came out of the shower, it was already eight am, and all the
students were crowding by the Great Hall's doors, waiting to be let in. Draco knew what time it
was and so he purposely walked towards his dresser at a lazy pace. It took all of Hermione's
calming nerves to stop her from pushing Draco forward. "Good Day today" Draco drawled as
he passed Hermione, who was standing up with her book bag in her hand- ready to go. "I have a
feeling that today will be a great day for me; maybe Mum sent me some chocolates- everyone
here knows that Hogwarts food is uneatable…" Draco was taking his time and it was showing.
Hermione just stiffly replied " Malf-D-Draco, I ironed your clothes and washed the robes which
you gave me; I also did all the chores which you assigned to me" "So, can you do me a favor and
hurry up?" Hermione's voice was steady and calm, but she was seething inside. Draco looked
up at her in shock. "HURRY UP?" "Who are you to tell me how fast I should get dressed!????"
"Shut Up!" "That is an order!" And with those words, Hermione found herself not being to utter
a single word-not that she wanted to talk to Malfoy anyway…Draco, however said to himself "I
do not wish to miss breakfast, so I will hurry up…" While Hermione waited for Malfoy, she
was thinking of when to carry out her plan. "TONIGHT! I will make the love potion tonight and
then I will slip it into Draco's- ---wait a minute! Did I just say Draco? Since when do I call him
that? Must be the stress getting to me" Hermione shrugged the thought off and continued to
plan. Tomorrow I will slip it into Malfoy's pumpkin juice… HE WONT KNOW WHAT HIT
HIM!" Just imagine him tomorrow, getting up from the table, rushing over to Millicent, taking
one of her pudgy arms and screaming "Millicent, oh my love! How I long for you! You make
my mind go crazy, just thinking about you! I love you!" Boy, will that be a nice breakfast wake
up call. He'll be the laughingstock of the school!" Suddenly a harsh voice brought Hermione
back to the real world where Draco was yelling at her. "Mud blood! Get off your fanny and go
open the door for me, then go take my back pack and carry it down to breakfast. Got it?"
Hermione nodded and went off to do what Draco commanded. However, just because
Hermione was doing chores for Draco Malfoy didn't mean that she had to do them right. After
Hermione held the door for Malfoy, she slammed it closed right onto his fingers, causing
Malfoy to jump around in pain. While putting Malfoy's books into his back pack, she broke his
quill and spilled all his ink. And, during breakfast, when she had to put all his food onto a
golden platter ("how spoiled can you get Malfoy?") Hermione "accidentally", spit on Malfoy's
omelet and dropped his bacon on the floor. By the time lessons came, Malfoy was fuming and
Hermione was wearing a proud expression on her face. However, when she looked at her
schedule, the smile slipped right off her face.
Gryffindor Seventh Year Schedule
9 am: Double Potions with Slytherins
11 am: Herbology with Slytherins
12 o'clock: Lunch
2 o'clock: DADA with Slytherins
4 o'clock: Transfiguration with Slytherins
5:30 pm: Charms with Ravenclaw
"Oh MERLIN HELP ME!" wailed Hermione after she had seen her Monday schedule. Eight and
a half hours stuck with Slytherins was NOT on Hermione's list of things to do before she died.
Malfoy just grinned, until the realization hit him. If Hermione, who was a Gryffindor, had a full
day with Slytherins that meant…."NO! Mommy HELP ME!" yelled Malfoy a minute later. (He
was having a slow day) and with those words, he jumped up from the Slytherin table, and
dragged Hermione off, leaving her unfinished breakfast behind her.
As Hermione was being pulled towards Double Potions, she was thinking of ways to get all of
the ingredients that she would need for the Love Potion. However, just as she started thinking of
ways to get into the Potions stash of "goodies" a pang of guilt fell on her conscience. "You
shouldn't make poor Draco fall in love with Millicent! No one deserves that…" said
Hermione's conscience. "What the HELL?" "Why did I just think that? Poor Draco? Did I really
think those words?" Hermione was furious at herself, but she calmed herself down by assuring
her that her previous actions were due to lack of sleep, and tons of stress. "Yeah, that's what it
is!" said Hermione out loud, forgetting that she wasn't alone. Malfoy however, wasn't paying
any attention to Hermione but was focused on arriving to class on time. After several more
minutes of being pulled down corridors and stairways, Hermione was standing outside the
Potion's room, trying to catch her breath. But, being the jerk that Malfoy was, he just said
"Granger, get your butt inside now" and Hermione's feet started moving against Hermione's
will. "Oh, how I hate the fact that Malfoy can just order me around! Like a….a servant!"
muttered Hermione as she walked inside the classroom. No one was inside, but Malfoy. He
motioned for Hermione to come closer and said "The ingredients that we need today are written
on this list. Take it, and go to the Potions cupboard, take what you need and come right back.
Got it?" Hermione nodded shyly and took the list from Draco's hand. She then walked over to
the cupboard and looked for slug brains, eel skin, fish eyes, and crushed excoformith skeletons
(A/N: I made that up!). Then, after making sure that Draco wasn't looking, she took all of the
things she needed for the love potion, shrunk them with her wand, and put them inside her
pocket. Hermione wanted to look through the potions cupboard some more, when Draco's cold
voice said "Are you coming mudblood?" Hermione just sighed and walked back to Malfoy. She
handed him the ingredients, took out her cauldron and sat down next to Draco, waiting for
Professor Snape to arrive. However, Hermione didn't have to wait long, as Professor Snape and
the entire class came through the door. Judging by the look on her classmates faces, Hermione
was able to tell who was the servant and who was the master according to the potion which the
students made the day before. Harry, Ron, Lavender, Neville, and Parvati were all looking glum,
tired, and grouchy, while the Slytherins were all happy and bragging about how good it is to
have a servant. "Hermione!" cried Ron and Harry at the same time, after noticing her. "What are
you doing? Sitting next to Malfoy?". Hermione wanted to tell her friends the truth, but Draco
elbowed her in the ribs, and Hermione made up a fib. She said while stammering "w-well,…you
see, I must have added something to the potion wrong because now I am attached to Malfoy by
the waist; so of course I have to sit with him…" "Tough Luck!" said both boys, shot Hermione
a pity glance and took their seats. "Wow, never would have though Hermione would have the
guts to lie like that to her friends…" "WAIT A MINUTE!! WHAT the heck did I just think? Did
I call that …filth sitting next to me, "Hermione"? "Must be the weather or the flu…" though
Draco to reassure himself. But, he couldn't concentrate during the entire lecture because he kept
replaying his thoughts in his head. Every once in a while, Draco would turn his head slightly to
the side, shooting Hermione a glance, but she didn't notice it. Hermione was too busy listening
to Snape drone on and on about the Draught of Peaceful Sleep, which they were going to make
that day. Draco was trying to concentrate, but he just couldn't force himself to pay attention.
His mind was off thinking about what it would be like to kiss Hermione--------"WHAT THE ?"
screamed Draco a second after the thought ran across his mind. That instant, everyone fell silent,
and waited to hear what punishment Professor Snape would give Malfoy for such profanity.
And yet, no punishment came. Instead, the professor just turned to Draco and said "Mister
Malfoy…please try to keep your emotions under control!" He then looked at the clock and
bellowed "Class dismissed!" As the students got up from their seats and started yammering
about bigotry shown by Snape, Draco leaped up, grabbed his bag and ran out of the room,
causing Hermione to trip and fall, while attempting to catch up to him. As Hermione ran, she
said "Whatever got into Draco today, it's making him unbearable!"
