Hermione walked slowly to Potions. She was alone, and she wanted it to be that way. She was scared at Pansy and Draco's reaction. Should she just tell them the truth about the voices? Or would they think she was crazy? Would they be pissed? Sad? Indifferent? Hermione did not know.

Hermione gulped nervously as she walked down to the dungeons. Was this really the place Helen was murdered? What an awful place to die. It must have been terrible for Helen.

Hermione shuddered. It felt quite strange being Helen's heir, and being murdered in her past life. Hermione wasn't sure what to make of that decision.

Suddenly someone bumped roughly into Hermione. It really hurt too. "Ouch!" Hermione growled, annoyed.

The person turned around quickly. It was Cho, the girl Harry had been obsessed with since his fourth year. Hermione didn't know why. She was pretty, but now she was different since the death of Cedric.

Cho eyed Hermione and sighed, "Are you okay? I'm sorry. I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Hermione shrugged, "That's okay, I guess."

Cho's brown eyes filled with tears, and she backed away from Hermione, as though there was something very wrong. Hermione gave Cho a confused expression, "Hey Cho, what's the matter? What happened?"

Cho gasped several times, and she gave Hermione a forbidding glare. Hermione thought to herself, ~ What's the matter with her? Is she crazy? ~

Cho suddenly shook her head. She spoke to Hermione in a shaky voice, "You are going to lose something dear to you. Just like me! I wish you luck!"

Then Cho turned around and ran out of sight without giving Hermione a chance to respond. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued walking to Potions. She didn't want to be late. Hermione thought about Cho ~ What does she mean I'll lose something dear? Gosh, for Head Girl, she's a little crazy. ~

Hermione reached Potions class just in time. She avoided the penetrating glares from the Slytherins. Instead, Hermione sat down at her usual seat next to Harry and Ron. Ron was real red in the face. He looked embarrassed about something. Harry did too. Hermione smirked, "What?"

Ron rolled his eyes, "I'll tell you later!"

Hermione was about to respond, but Snape's voice cut through the air like a sharp knife, "Today, you will be testing your Dream Potions with your partner! I will be coming around to make sure the potion is working properly. Any mistakes will reflect clearly on your grade."

Hermione rolled her eyes, and she turned back to see Neville, trying to hide behind his cauldron. He was more scared of Professor Snape then anything else. Snape growled sharply at everyone, "Get to work. NOW!"

Hermione walked over cautiously to sit next to Pansy. She wasn't sure what to expect from her. Would she kill her as soon as she approached? Or would she ignore her completely? Hermione didn't know which was worse.

Hermione sat down next to Pansy nervously. Pansy didn't look at her at all. Hermione twirled her hair nervously, "Uh, shall we uh- start?"

Pansy still didn't look at Hermione. She muttered softly, "Well, I suppose so."

Hermione sighed. She could tell that she really hurt Pansy's feeling by snapping out at her like that. Now, Hermione was even more doubtful that Pansy and Draco were the ones that were really talking. Why couldn't she have just been quiet in Care for Magical Creatures?

Hermione sighed. She and Pansy just worked on their Potion in silence. Hermione felt that there was no use apologizing to her. Pansy would probably laugh or something.

Hermione sighed, "Are you going to talk at all, Pansy?"

Pansy finally tore her eyes away from the Potion and muttered, "Granger, there is something I have to tell you about Draco."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, Draco also worked in silence with Harry. Harry was giving Draco unbearable smirks while he was working. He looked as though he was love sick.

Draco glared, "Are you going to help me or not Potter?"

Harry sighed, "Well, I would, but I'm too busy thinking about my girlfriend. Yes, she is so wonderful. Why didn't I see her in this way before? I've known her for so long before this."

Draco suddenly panicked. He turned to Hermione. She seemed so beautiful, just sitting there and thinking about her potion. She just seemed so perfect. Harry wasn't talking about Hermione was he? Was Harry going to take away Hermione? His Hermione.

Draco glared harshly at Harry. He couldn't stand him. That untidy black hair, those green eyes, and that stupid scar. Draco just hated him so much.

Harry laughed and sneered, "Oh! Malfoy seems upset. What's the matter there ferret boy?"

Draco looked at Hermione again. She was waiting for Pansy to talk about something. Draco looked and glared at Harry again. Upset couldn't describe how he felt right now.

"Well? What you wish you had a girlfriend, Malfoy?"

Draco stood up and shook his fist violently at Harry, and he shouted, "You stay the hell away from her, do you hear? You're not going to touch her! I LOVE her too much! Understand?"

The Draco slapped Harry hard across the face. Harry growled, "You bastard! What did you do that for?"

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!"

Everyone in Potions class looked up and stared at Harry and Draco. They all stared anxiously. Even Snape seemed mildly amused with the fight.

Harry stood up and pushed Draco angrily, "HEY! I never knew you cared so much about GINNY, Draco!"

It was so silent in the room. Snape sighed, "Twenty points from Gryffindor Potter."

He didn't take anything from Slytherin as usual.

Everyone looked each other. Ron stood up from the back of the room and sneered at Draco, "YOU LOVE MY SISTER! EW!"

Draco felt himself blushing furiously. Ginny was Harry's girlfriend? Not Hermione. Damn. He should have asked who it was before pouncing at Harry. Now, he would have to be faced with a bunch of stupid Ginny rumors.

Draco looked up at everyone, with his face beat red. The Slytherins were looking kind of glum, but the Gryffindors were laughing, and sneering.

Lavender was in the back of the room squealing happily, "Oh! You like Ginny? That's so cute! Oh my God! Harry you better be careful!"

Harry laughed and sat back down, "I guess so."

Draco looked at Hermione. Hermione was staring at Pansy. There were tears in her eyes. Pansy was about to speak, but Hermione cut her off, "Oh! Is this what you wanted to tell me about? That Draco likes Ginny? Well, guess what Pansy! That was the last thing I wanted to hear!"

Hermione turned away from Draco, and raised her hand, "Professor Snape, can I see Madame Pomfrey? I have a headache!"

Snape snarled, "As you wish, Miss Granger!"

Hermione stood up and walked briskly out of the room, slamming the door loudly behind her.

Draco collapsed back in his chair. Pansy looked up at him, and whispered, "Do you like, Ginny?"

Draco snarled and banged his fist on the desk, "What do you think! You know who I like!"

Pansy nodded, and turned away. She quickly wrote a note and handed it to Draco. It said: Well, I hope Hermione knows that it's her that you like, and not Ginny.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione walked down the hallway quickly. Tears were pouring down her face. She never felt this kind of hurt in her life. She felt like her heart was breaking in half. So, Draco didn't like her. It was Ginny! Ginny! Not her, but that Weasly.

Hermione finally stopped walking and broke down completely. She was too late. She could have apologized up to Draco, but she had to be the cocky bitch that she was and let him get away. Could she blame him though? She treated him like dirt, by yelling at him.

Hermione wiped her eyes, and muttered to herself, "Cho was right. I did lose something dear."

Hermione sighed, and thought ~ Well, I suppose Draco is free to like whoever he wants to. I mean, I'm not the one to control him. Even though I- I.... ~

Suddenly a harsh voice cut through the hall. Hermione jerked up and listened intently, "What's going on?"

The voice was loud and harsh, and it was yelling threateningly, "GOD DAMN YOU DUMBLEDORE! LET ME SEE MY SON AND DAUGHTER!"

Hermione felt her stomach flip over, and she felt like she was going to throw up. Lucius. He was here.

AND here I leave you. HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm so evil! Well, I'll keep writing! Remember to R/R
