"Today we
will be learning about…" Snape started his usual boring lesson. Josie blocked
him out. Hermoine was listening, as she always did. Ron and Harry were both
asleep. The class was bored to death.
"Mrs.
Breyer!" Snape called to Josie.
"Um,
yes sir." She closed her eyes preparing for the news to come.
"You
made a 54 on the exam." He smirked. Little muffled laughs and whispers were
spread through the room.
"That
can't be! I studied all night for that quiz!" She buried her head in her hands,
then looked evilly at Snape waiting for an answer.
"Are
you questioning my authority?"
"Um…
no sir." She pulled out a piece of parchment and got prepared for class.
"If
you have anymore problems you can take them up with Mrs. McGonnagal." He
laughed and returned to his desk.
An
hour went by and surprisingly all Hermoine heard of the lesson was "Blah, blah,
blah, Mr. Malfoy." Then she quickly perked up. After what seemed like forever,
the bell rang.
"Thank
goodness." Josie whispered to Hermoine secretly hoping that Snape heard.
They
filed out the door and as soon as Hermoine came out someone grabbed her sleeve.
It was Crabbe and Goyle. Goyle pushed a note into her hand and they quickly
departed. The note read:
_____________________________________________________________
Dear
Hermoine,
Meet
me at the west wing hallway tonight at 1:30. I'll be waiting.
Love,
Oh my goodness. Draco wants to meet me tonight! She couldn't help but be
excited. She knew there was something good about Draco deep inside. Something
no one has yet found. She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and smiled,
imagining the evening ahead of her.
