Chapter 2: Draco's strikes

During potions, Hermoine sat with Ron and Harry, but couldn't keep her eyes off of James. They had to make an invisibility potion that Snape said was very complex. Hermoine looked over at James, who was working alone. She noticed Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were using completely different ingredients then Snape had told them. "What are they doing?" She muttered. She knew something was up. Draco had that evil glint in his eye that he gets when he's plotting against Harry. "Harry.look at Draco!" Hermoine whispered, nudging him slightly. "Oh god I know that look too well!" Harry said. "What do you mean?" Hissed Professor Snape from behind him. Harry turned around and went back to his cauldron, trying to avoid Snape's glare. "I asked you a question Potter!" Snape snapped. "Sorry sir I mean that Hermoine had a told-you-so look." Harry stuttered. Snape walked away. "Ron.where's Hermoine?" Harry said looking around. "She is with the Slytherin boy." Ron answered, putting a clear liquid into his cauldron. "What is up with her and him? He's a Slytherin for god's sake! Gryiffindor's sworn enemies are the Slytherins!" Harry muttered to Ron. Suddenly, there was a large explosion from the Slytherin side of the room. Snape ran over to see what the commotion was. As the smoke cleared, they saw James lying on the dungeon floor, scarcely breathing. Hermoine looked up and noticed Draco was nowhere in sight.

Sorry, I can't write long chapters because I write myself into a corner and it turns out really crap! With pos. reviews, I will write a 3rd chapter.
