Chapter Twelve
Resume to Classes
Hermione smiled as she walked to her Muggle Studies class. She was so excited as classes began today and one of her favorite subject was her first period. But then it sunk in. Draco Malfoy was in the same class.
Great. Just what I need. Malfoy Hermione thought, sarcastically.
"Hey Hermione," Harry said, standing besides her.
"What? Oh hello Harry," Hermione said, absently. She had forgotten that Harry and Ron was in her Muggle Studies class. At least her best friend were with her.
"Are you alright? You know, from yesterday?" Harry asked, concerned. He hadn't seen Hermione that angry since well since third year, when she punched Draco in the face.
Hermione sighed and said, "I'm fine, Harry. I just lost it when he mentioned my parents," Hermione said, remembering the time she Obliviated her parents' memories. They now lived in Australia, enjoying life, whereas Hermione lived with the haunting memory of finally letting her parents leave her.
Harry smiled, weakly at Hermione, and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her. Hermione smiled, as she dug her head into Harry's shoulder, feeling so loved and cared by her best friend.
"Hey Harry and Mione. What's wrong with Hermione?" Ron asked, walking up to the hugging friends.
Hermione looked up and saw Ron biting on Red Vines.
She sighed and said, "Ron, why are you always eating something? Can you not eat during classes. I'm wouldn't even be surprised if your broomstick sinks lower in Quidditch practice."
Ron shrugged and offered Harry a piece of Red Vines, whom Harry refused.
"It just tastes good, Mione. How can you not like it?" Ron asked.
Hermione glared at Ron and said, "In case you haven't noticed, eating a lot of food, including sweets are not health for the body. Therefore, you shouldn't be eating all the time, Ronald. Besides, I'm girl. At least, I know how to be healthy unlike you."
Ron pouted, and finished the last piece of Red Vines and said, "Fine. If I can prove that I cannot eat between classes and in the dorms today and tomorrow, then you will leave me alone for the rest of the school-year and allow me to eat whenever and whatever I want. Deal?"
"And what if you lose the bargain?" Hermione asked, a slight smile playing on the corners of her lips.
"If I lose, I will not eat between classes and in the dorms for two days- " Ron started to speak.
"If you lose, you will not eat between classes and in the dorms for the whole school-year, is what you mean, Ronald," Hermione said, cutting off Ron.
Ron gaped and spluttered, "B-bu-but, th-that's im-impos-impossible!"
Hermione shrugged daintly, and said,"Well it's not my fault if you do lose."
Ron glared at Hermione whom raised her eyebrows and walked into the classroom as soon as their Muggle Studies, Professor Burbage, signaled the class to come inside to the classroom.
"Good morning class. Today we shall be learning about Muggle electronics. Now I would like to start today's class off with what are electronics?" Professor Burbage asked, as soon as everyone had settled in their assigned seats.
Hermione's hand shot up in the air, politely waiting for Professor Burbage to call on her.
"Is it always going to be Miss Granger, students?" Professor Burbage asked, raising an eyebrow.
Hermione sighed, and dropped her hands to her table. This has been happening for a while. Professors ignoring her raised hand and asking for different students.
"Ah! Mr. Potter! Why not explain the definition of Muggle electronics?" Professor Burbage said, her gaze fixed on Harry.
Harry looked startled, but nonetheless answered the question with a,"Uh... Muggle electronics... are... um... devices that Muggles use such as... a television... and a telephone, and they use electric to make these devices work."
"Hmm... very interesting. Today we shall be learning about the Muggle electronic, the computer, and how it was created."
Is This A Joke, Professor?
"Now I shall be assigning you partners to research through the books. This will be mixed Houses, to honor House Unity Day. Now please listen closely as I call out these names," Professor Burbage said.
Everyone glanced at each other, and all the Gryffindors and Slytherins glared at each other, just to make sure they knew that they didn't want this to happen.
"Lavender Brown and Theodore Nott."
Theodore slapped his hand over his forehead, and glared at Lavender who gritted her teeth together, and stomped her way over to his desk.
"Parvati Patil and Blaise Zabini."
Blaise glowered, wishing Ginny was the same age as him. He remembered that day, when he and Ginny kissed. He smiled slightly at the memory, and sighed when he noticed Parvati raising an eyebrow at him. He rolled his eyes and told her to sit down.
"Millicent Bulstrode and Seamus Finnigan."
Seamus looked like he was going to puke as the strong Millicent strode up to him, and glared at him.
"Well?" She said.
Seamus glared back and said, "Well, sit down."
"Astoria Greengrass and Dean Thomas."
Astoria wrinkled her nose, and looked longingly at Draco, whom glared at her. A glare that clearly said, 'Stay away from me or else...' Astoria pouted and walked over to Dean's desk.
"Marigold Bluegold and Neville Longbottom."
Neville meekly looked down, and waited for Marigold to sit next to him.
"Florelle Lestrange and Harry Potter."
Florelle stopped breathing and her heartbeat increased. She ran a hand through her silky hair, and gathered her belongings, heading to Harry's desk. Two pairs of emerald green eyes locked together, but quickly darted away.
"Pansy Parkinson and Ron Weasley."
Ron glanced at Pansy, whom walked over gracefully to Ron's desk, a small smile gracing her lips. Ron smiled back at her, slightly blushing. Why was he blushing? He didn't like Pansy- he meant Parkinson, right?
Hermione closed her eyes as she knew who she was getting paired up with.
"Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy."
"Albus, are you sure you know what you are doing? You cannot be simply serious about putting them as partners for classes, now are you?" McGonagall said.
"I certainly am serious, Minerva. These eight have a large rivalry. This should help them all get along well. And maybe something more, will likely happen. I see that our students are acting rather odd around each other," Dumbledore said, a twinkle in his crystal blue eyes.
