A/N: This is my first Draco/Hermione fic, so
please be nice. Flames will be used to make smores. I think this is will be a
short story, and it's about Draco and Hermione being stung by a billywig in Care
of Magical Creatures class. I hope you enjoy! ALSO, I think that it'll be like
two or three very short chapters, that's why this first one is so short.
Anyways, hope you enjoy it anyhow!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything (unfortunately). It all belongs to J.K.
Rowling, even the billywig, which I found out about in Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them. Anyways, I don't own anything, but hope you enjoy
anyways!

Stung By a Billywig
Chapter 1 ~ The Most Dreadful Class
Hermione rubbed her eyes and looked to
find what woke her up so early in the morning. Crookshanks had pounced onto her
lap and was purring loudly. "Oh Crookshanks," Hermione sighed as she
looked at her watch, which read half past six. "You're a great alarm clock,
but I wanted to sleep a little while longer."
It was already mid-September, and Hermione had
spent two weeks at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was now
attending her fifth year, and she was glad that she was back in the castle,
going to classes and having fun with her two best friends, Harry Potter and Ron
Weasley.
Hermione glanced at her timetable before going deciding to go to the washroom.
Her first class was Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid. Usually, this would
be a good class because she got to see Hagrid, but now she wished that she
didn't have it because the Gryffindors had to attend it once again with the
Slytherins.
And the worst thing about Slytherins was Draco Malfoy and his two goons, Crabbe
and Goyle. It was bad enough that he had mistaken her for a gorgeous beauty and
asked her out on a date (even though Harry and Ron were still laughing about it
because he had), but now he was making fun of her for it, asking her why
she got all dolled up, and saying that it was probably for him.
It was true, Hermione had developed into a beautiful young girl over the
summer holidays, but she didn't know she would be that unrecognizable and
that Draco Malfoy, Harry's enemy, would ask her out on a date! She sighed,
wondering what rude remarks he would make this time and headed towards the
washroom.
A short while later, the boy named Draco Malfoy also woke up by Crabbe's loud
snores. "Shut up you prat," Draco told him as he got out of bed to get
a glass of water. Draco took a big sip and swallowed it down and had just
decided to return to bed when he spotted his timetable on the ground. "What
tortures of boredom do I have today?" he asked himself. He looked upon his
first class which read Care of Magical Creatures. Draco groaned. "This is
great," he moaned. "Stuck with the boy who lived to annoy me, the
weasel, and...a know-it-all for almost an hour! A very changed know-it-all. I
wonder what happened to Granger." He took another sip of water as Crabbe
continued to snore. He was certainly shocked by Hermione's appearance, because
she was very beautiful, but a Slytherin and a Mudblood shouldn't mix. At least
that's how Draco felt. So instead, he chose to make fun of her.
Draco finished his glass of water and went to the washroom to begin his
"torturous" day. He hoped nothing would happen too unusual, but in
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there was no point in hoping because
something unusual always happened.
On the other side of the castle, Hermione ran down the dormitory steps into the
common room. It was empty, except for Neville Longbottom, who had fallen asleep
while working on a Potions essay. After waiting for quite some time, Harry and
Ron also arrived in the common room, trying to stifle their yawns without
success.
"This is going to be a great day, isn't it?" Ron asked, plopping
himself down next to Hermione, who was sitting on a dark red couch.
"I hope that was meant to be sarcastic," Hermione replied as she shut The
Standard Book of Spells, Year 7.
"Actually, it wasn't," Ron answered. "It is going to be a
great day, except for Divination. And hurray! No potions!"
"Yes, but your forgetting the horrible Care of Magical Creatures,"
Hermione told him.
Harry and Ron opened their mouths in shock. "Horrible?" Harry
and Ron asked simultaneously. "Have you gone mad?"
"NO, I have not gone mad, you lunatics," Hermione said.
"Then why are you saying it's horrible?" Harry asked.
"Because we have it with the Slytherins," Hermione answered.
It took Harry and Ron about half a second before they said, "Oh".
"It'll be all right Hermione," Ron assured her. "Remember, you
have us to protect you."
"Well, that's a lot of reassurance," Hermione said sarcastically.
Thankfully, for her, Ron didn't notice the amount of sarcasm in her tone of
voice and instead grinned. "Let's go down to breakfast, shall we?" he
gestured.
After a light and hearty breakfast, the thing that Hermione had dreaded all
morning for only one particular reason had arrived. Hermione slowly dragged her
feet across the Hogwarts entrance hall onto the main grounds, trying to avoid
Draco at all costs, even though she knew that at Hagrid's Hut, she would
probably meet him anyway.
Draco was doing much the same thing. After his miserable and crummy breakfast he
sat rooted to the spot until Professor McGonagull scolded him for not going to
his classes. Once he had gone to the entrance hall, he also stood rooted to the
spot until Crabbe and Goyle pushed him out the front door.
Everyone eventually arrived at Hagrid's Hut,
which was shut. The Gryffindors and Slytherins assembled themselves around the
entrance, Hermione making sure she didn't even lay an eye on Draco.
The door opened wide and Hagrid came out with a wild grin. "Today," he
began, "we're going to learn about billywigs."
Everyone had curious looks on their face, but Hagrid continued to grin even
wider.
"What's a billywig?" Ron asked curiously.
