A/N: YAY A LONG CHAPTER!!!

Hermione tried not to make it look like she wasn't getting any special treatment from Snape for the next few weeks. One day during break, Draco Malfoy decided to bring up the subject of Hermione getting off easy with all the assignments.

"That Granger seems to be real buddy-buddy with Professor Snape lately," Draco said to Crabbe and Goyle in the courtyard. He made sure he said it loud enough for the whole courtyard to hear.

There were a few that agreed with him, but others that just gave him dirty looks.

"I mean, did you notice that she's received perfect grades on every assignment and she hasn't even turned half the assignments in? I think they have a thing for each other," Malfoy said. Everyone in the whole courtyard but Hermione laughed. Hermione stood up from where she was sitting and walked over to him.

"You should analyze yourself before you analyze others," Hermione said. She then stormed up to the Gryffindor Tower.

Hermione arrived in the Gryffindor Tower and went to her dorm room. She grabbed a quill, a bottle of ink, and some parchment from her bag and began to scribble something on the parchment. She then put it in a little bottle and poured some of the potion into it.

The parchment dissolved almost instantaneously. She grinned with glee. She then exchanged her morning books for her afternoon books and ran down to the kitchen to give the potion to Dobby.

She arrived at the picture with five minutes left before lunch started. She tickled the pear and went inside.

"Dobby, come here, please," Hermione said when she walked inside.

"How can Dobby serve Miss Granger?" Dobby said from behind her.

"Can you make sure this gets mixed in with Draco Malfoy's drink today at lunch? Make sure it's all in and it's all mixed in well, but don't drink any of it. It's not poison, but it's not good for you to drink any of it either. He needs to intake every drop of it."

"Yes, Miss Granger. Dobby would be honored to do that for you." Dobby took the potion and went over to the area where the Slytherin food was and went straight to work.

Hermione walked out of the kitchen just as the bell rang. She went into the Great Hall and sat at their seat. Others came in and took their seats. After everyone had arrived, the meal started.

"You seem extremely happy now," Harry said.

"I am. I'm paying Malfoy back for making fun of me since we started coming here." Hermione grinned even more with Glee as she watched Malfoy chug down his drink.

"And that would be how?" Ron asked.

"Oh, you'll see," Hermione said.
