Chapter Two
A Course Of Action
Blaise leaned up against the dungeon wall. The Gryffindors and Slytherins were waiting for Snape to come and let them in for class. She looked at her watch, five minutes left. She heard footsteps running down the hall and looked to see Sally-Anne running towards her.
"I've got it," she panted. Blaise raised her eyebrows.
"So quickly?" Blaise asked. Sally-Anne nodded. She shoved the book that she had in arm into Blaise's. The cover read: 1,001 Harmless Charms. Blaise snickered and Sally-Anne raised her eyebrows.
"Is Malfoy here yet?" Sally-Anne asked. Blaise shook her head. She was looking at the page Sally-Anne had bookmarked and was reading it over. It was all too simple really. All they had to do was use a quill, mutter an incantation with the person's name whose writing they wanted to mimic, and then as soon as anyone but the writer read the message it would look like the persons writing. It was all too simple yet, all too perfect.
Hermione stirred her reddish Potion. Today she was working with Dean, lucky for her. She didn't want to get stuck with Neville. Especially not today when Snape was being extra vindictive. She added a few more fly wings to her potion and let it simmer. It was now turning a dark purple color, just exactly as it should. Dean smiled at her, Hermione was sure that he was grateful to have partnered her today. However, Hermione's happiness with her potion was short lived. Both she and Dean jumped when there was a loud explosion coming from the back of the classroom. She turned around expecting to see Neville with a melted cauldron, but it wasn't. It was Ron who happened to be working with Lavender.
"MR. WEASLEY!" Snape roared. The Gryffindors jumped, the Slytherins sniggered. Ron and Lavender were both ashen face. Harry, Neville, Seamus, and Parvati were standing on their chairs so as to not get potion on them. Snape headed to the back of the class looking furious. "Perhaps if you and Miss Brown would stop making googly eyes at each other you would have remembered to add the fly wings AFTER the daisy roots. No signs of affection what so ever are permitted in this class, as I have told you both multiple times or perhaps you've been taking listening lessons from Mr. Longbottom?" Hermione bit her lip and she and Dean joined their classmates on top of their seats, the potion was slowly oozing on the dungeon floor. Neville's face was still pink from Snape's comment. "I suggest in the future the two of you not partner each other, because if this happens again, one of you will be taking Potions with the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuffs. Oh, and twenty-five points each to be taken from your house, and clean up this mess so that your house-mates can return to their seats." Hermione glared at them along with the rest of the Gryffindors while they mopped up the floor.
Harry glared as he walked past Lavender and Ron. The two of them had been getting points taken off of their house since they'd started dating and it wasn't just in Potion's. The day before Sprout had taken points off for them fooling around during Herbology. Harry looked down at his Potions book. Their was a note sticking out of it. He pulled it out and looked at it. It was from Ginny.
Harry-
Sorry I can't say this to you in person, but we're over. I was just using you anyway to get to Neville. Neville and I are in love.
Ginny
PS- Don't even bother talking to this to me, I've made up my mind and you can't change it you stupid prat.
Harry felt his heart break in two and jaw hit the floor. He sneaked a side glance at Neville, had Ginny been for real?
Ginny felt her bag rip on her way to Charm's.
"Damn," she muttered. She began trying to shove her things back into her bag. Someone leaned down beside her and she realized that it was once of the fifth year Slytherins. "What are you doing?"
The girl looked up at her and smiled. "I just thought that I would help, but I should have known that a Gryffindor was above help."
"Well, Slytherins are never this helpful, so you can see, I might think it a bit odd," Ginny spat back. The Slytherin girl gave her a cold smile and got up and walked away. She finally managed to get everything back into her bag and made it into her seat in Charms next to Colin Creevy. Colin smiled at her. She half smiled at him and pulled out her Charm book. There was a piece of parchment sticking out of it. She recognized the writing right away. It was from Harry.
Ginny-
Sorry to break it to you this way, but we're not working. Besides, I fancy someone else.
Cheers,
Harry
What the hell is this, Ginny silently asked herself. How could affections change so quickly?
Next Time: Hermione gets a sneaking suspicion.
A/N: Before I get tons of people saying that Blaise is a boy let me say something. In the books it doesn't say whether Blaise is a boy or girl and since Blaise can be either a boys or girls name, I've chosen Blaise to be a girl, so please no, Blaise is a boy crap. Damn FF.net for messing up! Grr, kinda sucks doesn't it?
KUDOS: Lux80, thanks, mystical, thanks thanks, they won't actually get to set Hermione up with anyone bc ya, you'll see, aw its ok if your not my first, I appreciate your reviews anyway, karigan, they're going to be typical Slytherins, nikki, who said it was going to be G/H? hrm, it'll be F/H of course!
