I knew the things that could get me though the days when my friends were fighting with one another or Draco was not able to hang out with me, there was something that always could make me happy. I could always go to classes, do extra credit or maybe even study a little more for tests. I knew that most girls that were my age would be out watching Harry and the guys get ready for there match or something else, but I just wanted to be prepared for anything I guess. It's not like I want to be the know-it-all of the class it's just that I always want to learn more then I already know about the magic world. Besides it's like this- I can look at a book and remember what I just read word for word. It was not like I sit there and read it over and over again to remember it, I just remember it already.
It was something that I could do and something that I knew how to do and really have always done. It was what calmed me down when I needed a break from the world and it was just something that could make me happy. The librarian knows my name, she knows what I like to read and she will tell me anything about the books that I need to read. She seems to be one the same page with me when it comes to reading and calming she will allow me to stay in there after hours and just seems to like to know that I am happy reading. I could just sit there and read a book over and over and over again and never get bored of reading the same thing, it was like magic to me any way. It did not matter whether it was a fiction or non-fiction book, it did not matter to me, both made me quite happy really. It was just the fact of having a book in my hands and reading that made me happy because I would be in a different world all together.
Professor Snape thought that it would be a good idea to give us a five hundred word essay about the Polly Juice potion which was quite easy for me. I do not know weather or not to put my own option into it but I knew that I should know. So I went with a book and went with everything in it, like the little facts in it and much of the other things as well. I knew that to get anything close to the best grade possible and also not being in Slythern house, is to write an essay that was more like a novel then anything else. I would have to hand write about five pages, front and back to get a B in his class, if I wanted to get an A I would have to do more of a seven page essay. While anyone in Slythern would have to do only about a two page essay, not front and back.
" Hello there Miss Granger." A high pitched voice said from behind me, it made all the hairs stand up from the back of my neck all the way to my arms. It was the worst noise in the world.
" Good morning Professor." I smiled as I said it, trying to sound nice and happy.
" What are you doing in here in this dusty old library when you could be out and about roaming the world." She said again with that voice that made me want to kill something.
" I have to write an essay for Potions." I said, trying to make it seem like I was much to busy to talk to her, it did not work.
" Well I will only take a few minutes out of your time to make sure that you know the new rules that I have been placing into this school." She hissed as she sat down in front of me.
" As long as it will only take a few minutes." I said as I put down my quill.
" Good. I hope that you will know that most of the group around here will be shutting down this year because we would not want anything to be going on that the Ministry would not like. But if you would like to join a new group we would always like it have you in it." She smiled as she starred at me. " Also, please make sure that Mister Potter knows that if he has any more out breaks in my class that detention will become a lot worse for him and all of his little friends." She smiled as she perked back up into her small poster and stood up.
" Well if that's all." I said under my breath.
" What was that?" She hissed.
" I will make sure that he will know about that. And I do not believe that I will be joining your group, I would much rather have as much time as I could studying rather then joining a new group, lead by someone that I do not know and really does not know anything about the school, being so new here." I stood up taken all of my books and things with me. " Good day Professor Umbridge." I said rather running away from her before she could say one word to me.
I did not want the same punishment as Harry had gotten, I knew that what he went through was amazing and the fact that he is not saying anything to anyone is even more amazing. If it were me I would be calling up everyone that I could to make sure that she would be taken care of very well, I may be a Muggle born child, but I really knew how to take care of myself. But he would not do that, he does not any more press against him right now, even if she had put him through hell in just a few short minutes. I could not believe the simple fact that she could even think about doing something like that to a child, someone who did not know better! She made him crave words into his own skin, she made it so that he would have to use his own blood to write down words! I wanted too yell and scream in her face, I wanted to use the worst types of spells that I could think about on her, but I would not do it.
As I started to walk away I checked on the book that I was using and went to a different area, trying to make sure that I would stay far away from her and so that I still was not in the area as Fred and Gorge. They were coming up with a new candy that would make it so that you would be sick in the hospital for more like three months rather then just two or one and a half. Soon enough they would be caught and would not be able to sell them anymore, or the teacher would catch on ans just make a counter curse to their candies. Either way I did not want to be any where near them when they did get caught, so instead I just went to the grand dinning room. It was another place that I could go and just study, yes people were louder but people were coming in and out.
I got to study in there for hours and hours before it would even become time for lunch to come and pass, I did get up rather early and when I got in there the elf's were just cleaning up from a brunch type of meal and were all going back down to there areas to prepare for lunch. It was the best place to study from and to start writing the essay, right now I just had a page done but that would not really be enough, I guess that it would be a long time before I would really even get down with this essay and then I would have to make sure that Ron got his done as well. It was going to be a long day and I knew that it was going to be challenging as well.
It only took three hours for me to get down with the essay but by that time it was only a few minutes before everyone would be rushing in with all of their friends for lunch, all the food was set and many times I had to move my essay to make sure that food was not in the way. People were already starting to get in, but my friends would be some of the last ones in because of the fact of their practice lead right into lunch, it was like the only way that they could get food, was if they had a good practice. But they would be last, so I just kept correcting my own paper and changing it and making it more perfect and making sure that it would be the best that I could make it, I really wanted a good paper.
" Hello beautiful." Someone whispered into my ear. I could tell by the tone of his voice that I was Draco, it was the way that he pronounced his A's.
" Why hello there." I smiled as I put everything down and looked up to see him in his robes. " Why are you not with your friends right now Draco?" I smiled.
" They have already decided that they would go and save me as seat while I go and talk to my wonderful girlfriend." He smiled as he sat down beside me. " What in the world are you working on while we have a day off to just do whatever it is that we want to do!" He took my papers from my and read the beginning on them.
" You sure seem to know a lot about all of this stuff, how much time do you spent reading up about these before you write all of this stuff down?" He questioned.
" Oh only about a few hours, I mean I really do not spend much time on small essays on this, but if it were a project or maybe a essay on a test then I would do a lot more studying up on this before and I guess that I really just did not want to spend more time studying, I could do a lot more though. I just want to get a good grade so that I can get a higher grade in Snape's class." I sighed, he just started to giggle a little at me. " What?" I said thinking that he was making fun of me.
" I think that it is so cute the way that you can just go on and on about this one little thing, I believe that it what makes you so smart sometimes." I could feel the blood flowing through my cheeks and making them hot and red. He always had a way of making me blush like that.
" Well thank you I think, sometimes I think that it just annoys people though." I sighed as I looked down and started to think about it, Ron and Harry really hated it when I did it.
" Well I think that it is sexy." He smiled and moves in for a kiss.
" Well look what we have head Gorge." Fred said as he sat across from us.
" Someone to try and test our newest invention." Gorge smiled as he opened the box of candies that he had in front of him.
" No guys, don't even think about doing that, besides. Draco does not even like chocolate." I smiled a little as they frowned. " Looks like everyone is starting to come in, it may be best if you leave right about now." I looked down and started to become very sad.
" No!" Fred said
" Stay with us for lunch and then maybe we could go have some tea with your father." They were trying to make him angry.
" Oh guy's just stop it already!" I hissed at them as I looked over at Draco and kissed him very passionately.
" Well Harry look who we have here right now." Ron said as he sat down on the other side of me.
" Stop it." Harry said, he knew that I was going to get angry with whatever it was that Ron was going to say.
" No." Ron hissed back at him.
" I would love to hear what it is that Weasly-Bee has to say here. Common I'm waiting." Draco said and I shot a look over at him like I had done with Ron.
" Can we not do this guys I would really rather not have to hex the both of you right now." I said trying to hold them back from one another.
" Looks like their going to fight." Gorge said.
" Ten buck on Ron." Fred laughed.
" You're so on." Gorge smiled.
" Hell, I would like to get in on this bet, Gorge's side." Harry said.
" Harry!" I hissed. " No one is going to fight here, now please Draco I will see you later and Ron just shut the hell up! No one asked you for an option." I said as I kissed Draco again, he loosened up a little.
" I will see you later then. Love you." He smiled as he kissed me again, and started to leave.
" Love you too." I whispered.
" All I was going to say is that Draco is a home wrecker!" He shouted the last part so that the whole area could hear him, including Draco.
" Ron!" I screamed at him, ready to punch him in the face, Draco turned and started at him.
" How dare you say that to me!" He said as he came back.
"What, the only thing that I was saying was the truth, nothing more and nothing less about you." Ron hissed through his teeth.
" Shut up Ron!" I shouted.
" Ron, I would really stop if I were you." Harry said.
" I should make sure that you will never speak again Weasly and that would be with just my hands and not with my wand." He said and Ron stood up to get closer to him.
" Oh that would be something to see now wouldn't. I bet you would not even think about getting your pretty little hands hurt! Baby." Ron Hissed.
" Do not get my started Weasly." Draco hissed, but it was really too late, I knew that I would be.
" Harry go get a professor." I said, not taken my eyes away from this.
" Why?" He asked.
" Just do it!" I begged and Harry was done. " Don't do this! Please." I said trying to tug on Draco's arm, all he did was pull away from me a little more.
" Hit me!" Ron said, arms out so that he could have a good shot. " Or are you just going to tell Daddy on me again?" He yelled and that was it, Draco made the first it and then it was an all out brawl.
I did not know what happened but it went from just me and the two boys to the whole school watching and moving around all of the long tables or standing on all of them to get a better look at all of it. It was like watching a car accident I guess and everyone just really needed to watch and to make sure that it was really happening. Soon it got to the point where they were drawling blood from one another, I mean not just a little from here and there, I mean I think that they were breaking bones by just punching and punching again. It seemed like they were going to keep fighting until someone broke them apart or until one of them was knocked out. It was also not like one person was winning this fight and the other was loosing, it was more like Ron would hit Draco while Draco was also hitting Ron, it was non-stop.
One point I even tired to stop it, I mean I tried to make sure that it would end before it would get too far. I got near Ron and started to pull on his arm, shoulder and anything else that I could get a hold of. I guess that he really did not want this to get because at one point I was now on the ground and hit my head rather hard. But that did not even stop them from fighting, which all began because they were fighting over me, what a way to do this. That did not even stop me though, I tried and tried again, each time winding up on the group again, hurting worse then the last time until I just gave up. But right then was went some professors must have came in because it all ended and all of the students went back to their tables and just sat there.
I on the other hand just sat one the floor and sort of just watched and waited for all of the commotion to settle down. I really did not know if I could get up again and really did not want to know, I just sat there as Professor McGonagall and Hagrid. I do not know how the Professor pulled Draco off of Ron, but somehow she did, all I could see from Ron's face was blood and off of Draco's was just a little less blood then from Ron's. They both seemed to have broken noises, Ron's was much worse then Draco's though but Draco's eye looked like it was going to swell pretty badly that if it were not for magic I do not believe that he would be looking out of it for a few months- maybe even a year.
" Are you alright Miss Granger?" The professor said as she sent the both of them to the hospital wing with Hagrid.
" I- I really do not know." I whispered. " I kind of hit the floor with my head, kind of a lot." I whispered. I knew that I must have a concision. I could barley speak.
" Oh- your head is bleeding." She whispered as she placed her hand over her mouth. " You, Fred! Come over here and carry Miss Granger to the Hospital wing, I do not think that she will be able to wake it there on her own. Just make sure that you do not touch her wound." She said and Fred rushed over and started to walk me to the wing without a word. Harry was rushing behind him.
" Who would have guess that you would be the one to get the most hurt! Funny." Fred said as he kept walking up the stairs.
" I will kill Ron." I whispered.
" Don't talk like that, he was just a little of a smart ass." Harry said.
" No, I would have killed him too if he had done that to me." Fred said.
" Thank you!" I said as I started to close my eyes, I was really tired. . .
