Glory- Hey, don't be busting up my names now. LOL!
Hermione woke up the next day, feeling a little tired, but she was happy. She still didn't know what made her kiss Draco. It just felt so right. There was no other way to explain it. He just seemed so wonderful last night. Just being in his arms was a comfort to Hermione.
But, Hermione had no clue how he felt about her. Did he still think of her as a mudblood? She desperately hoped not. She hoped he would be sweet to her in Potions today, and not the ass he usually was.
Hermione then remembered about the nightmares. They were the same as Draco's. What were the chances? Did these dreams have some kind of potential meaning?
Hermione decided she should push these thoughts out of her mind. She had to go to Potions first thing..with the Slytherins! They were so unbearable down there in the dungeons.
Hermione got up and got changed and pulled her curls back into a loose ponytail. With that done she was out the door ready to take on Snape.
Hermione left the Gryffindor common with Ron and Harry. Both of them didn't talk much to Hermione as they were walking. She hoped they weren't still infuriated at her. However, they weren't speaking to her at all.
As the group headed down to the dungeons, Hermione began to shiver. It wasn't because was nervous, it was because she had some kind of dread of the place. She had no idea why. She had been down there several times, but she just had that BAD feeling. She was sure she saw these dungeons before.
Hermione sighed, and kept walking Harry looked at Hermione, and asked civilly, "Is there something wrong?"
Hermione shook her head, "N-No..it's nothing. I'm fine."
They finally reached the classroom. Everyone from Slytherin and Gryffindor were waiting for Snape. Draco was standing with Crabbe and Goyle. He turned to Hermione, but he quickly turned away as though he was embarrassed.
Suddenly Snape emerged from the classroom, "Hurry up all of you! If any of you are even one second late, I'll take away house points."
"Yeah, whatever," snickered Ron.
Everyone piled into the classroom as fast as they could to get ready for the 'fun' class that lie ahead of them. Neville was late causing Gryffindor to lose five points within the first two minutes of class. Snape was in a foul mood. It seemed that he still didn't get over it when Jewel talked back to him.
Snape snarled at them, "This year we will be making more dangerous forms of potions. Anyone who messes around this year will leave and not come back. You've been warned."
Hermione rolled her eyes as she thought to herself, "Isn't that what he says every single year."
Snape continued to glare at all the students, "We will be putting together a powerful dream potion used to help to decode your dreams. I will be setting pairs up. Get to work."
Hermione's eyes lit up excitedly. Maybe this would be her chance to find out what exactly her nightmares meant. She turned toward Draco. He was sitting there with a smirk on his face, and seemed to take no interest in what was going on. Hermione felt disappointed, "Doesn't he realize how big of a chance this is?"
Snape went around the room, "Miss Granger you will be working with Miss Parkinson. Mr. Weasly go sit next to Mr. Crabbe. Mr. Potter sit with Mr. Malfoy."
Snape continued to read names as everyone got up to sit with their partners. Hermione cringed. Pansy was never really that nice to her, quite the opposite. Hermione got up and sat next to Pansy. She looked up at Hermione, but didn't say a thing.
Snape finished reading names, "Get to work immediately! I better see some half way decent potions or else I will take away house points.
Hermione turned around to Pansy. She was still quiet so Hermione said, "Uh- hi Pansy."
Pansy just raised her eyebrows at Hermione and said; "Draco's sister has some sort of fascination with you. Why?"
Hermione made sour face, "Long story, and we really should be working on our dream potion. I don't want to lose house points."
Pansy smirked, "I have time. Who cares about Snape? Tell me your oh so long story."
Then suddenly Pansy's eyes lit up and she squealed happily, OH! Hi Draco."
Hermione looked up and she saw Draco standing next to her and Pansy. Hermione could see Harry glaring from behind him. Hermione stated plainly, "Draco? What do you want?"
Draco avoided Hermione's gaze, "Uh-here."
He handed laid a note on the table, and immediately headed over to where Harry was sitting. Pansy gasped, "Oh.what would Draco want from you. Hmmm..this should be interesting. Hehehe."
Hermione glared, "Shut up, Pansy. I'm sure it's nothing."
Hermione opened up the note on the table. It said:
Okay, Jewel wants to meet with you about something. She said to meet her in front of the Great Hall after class.
And one quick question: Why did you kiss ME?
From~ Draco Malfoy
Hermione tried to crumple up the note, but it was too late. Pansy saw it. She was overcome with a fit of giggles, "OH MY GOD! You kissed Draco! WHEN? WHERE? WHAT WAS IT LIKE?"
The entire Potions class turned toward Pansy and Hermione. Hermione was blushing furiously, "Pansy. Please be quiet. You're attracting attention."
Everyone gasped, and looked from Hermoine to Draco and back again. Lavender and Parvati began to whisper back and forth to each other.
Hermione was scared to look over at Harry and Ron. She knew they would be very angry, hearing all of this. Hermione snapped at Pansy again, "Please! Everyone is staring at us!"
Pansy finally seemed to notice all the looks she was getting, "Oh! Sorry, Professor Snape!"
Professor Snape smirked, and looked from Draco to Hermione, and said, "I must ask you two not to discuss your love life in my class. Understand? Although you two would be quite the odd couple, huh?"
The whole class was laughing loudly, except for Hermione, Draco, Ron and Harry. Draco and Hermione looked extremely embarrassed, and Harry and Ron looked pissed! Not pissed was an understatement with how furious they looked. They glared at one another and were making fists with their hands.
Hermione never felt more embarrassed in her life. She glared at Pansy again, "Way too go. Now Draco and I are going to be the 'Hot Topic' today at lunch."
Pansy finally got control of her giggles, "Oh! I'm sorry, Hermione. Sorry."
Hermione muttered, "It's okay, Pansy Parkinson!"
The whole class was still very amused though. Crabbe and Goyle were making rude whistling noises across the room, and they were giving Draco pats on the back. Dean and Seamus were singing a muggle song by the rapper Nelly, "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes!"
That only made the class wilder. They all shouted and cheered. Pansy shrugged, Well, I guess your popularity has gone up a point."
Hermione felt her face burning. She couldn't believe this had to happen on her very first day of classes. Hermione never felt more mortified.
Draco also didn't look too pleased, and he appeared to be very uncomfortable sitting next to Harry who looked ready to kill him.
Finally Snape got the class under control, after taking twenty points off of Gryffindors, and of course he took nothing from the Slytherins. Hermione wanted out and out now. Snape stared around the class, "Well, thanks to that little outbreak, we have no more time to finish our dream potion. I must assign the rest for homework. I will see you all bright and early tomorrow."
As everyone got up, Ron stared at Draco, "I can't believe you, you slimy git! What have you been doing to our Hermione?"
Draco must have been in a mood to piss them off even more, because he sneered, "I've been doing whatever I want Weasly!"
Harry glared at Draco angrily, "We WON'T let you near her."
Draco smirked at the two and snickered, "What are you going to do? Kill ME!"
He turned away from Ron and Harry. Meanwhile, The rest of the class was groaning and got up to leave the dungeon. Snape shouted over everybody, "Miss Granger, and Mr. Malfoy see me after class."
"Great," Hermione thought, "Just perfect. This is starting to be a horrible year, and I'm going to be gossiped about on my very first day."
Hermione and Draco approached Snape nervously. He stared at them for a few moments, and then stated, "So."
Hermione looked at Draco who shrugged and then she looked back at Snape with a puzzled expression, "You wanted to see us?"
Snape glared from Hermione to Draco, "I never ever want that to happen in my class AGAIN. Miss Granger as the school 'genius' I thought you had more sense then running around making out with Slytherins."
Draco tried to hide his smirk, but he didn't do a very good job at it. Hermione wanted to slap him. Hermione also thought that Snape was really over judging the situation, but she flushed and said, "Y-Yes sir. It ummm won't happen again."
Snape glared at Hermione with his dark black eyes, "Good. Now Mr. Malfoy there is something I want to discuss with you about your little sister."
Draco nodded nervously, "Yes sir."
Snape jerked his head back to Hermione, "You may leave Miss Granger."
Hermione immediately dashed out of the dungeon leaving Draco, and Snape behind. She didn't bother looking for Harry or Ron. She didn't want to even see them after what happened in class. Instead she ran up toward the Great Hall to see what Jewel needed from her.
There finished. Hopefully I get no ::ahem:: flames about this chapter. Please R/R
