(A/N: here we go, one more chapter since I am here and this time I'll add the "E" in Dumbledores name. D'oh! Oh and expect some naughty language too. Just a warning to those lil' people who think this is a nice clean fic. Pfft, whom are you kidding? This is a Redundant Goddess Fic! In case you didn't know! Lol. Any way on with the fic…)

That One Day Where Things Happen…

By The Redundant Goddess!

Oh For The Love Of All Things Original And Good!

Hermione, Harry and the, now, with it Ron, were just coming to the end of the first half of their double potions lesson, which so far hadn't been too bad. Well, that's if you consider not too bad watching poor Neville melt his 20th cauldron this year and having Pansy make the most pathetic, idiotic excuses for being stupid in the history of the wizarding world. Other than that everything has been just grand! Thought a very annoyed and slightly worried Hermione Granger.

Of course she wasn't worried about something as silly such as having an incredibly double hard, double lesson of potions with a man that could only be described as death with a stick up his arse. Oh no. What the most intelligent witch known to Hogwarts was worried about was Dumbledore's not so random Valentines plot. The Secret Valentine card thingy, which included the rather dodgy looking "RANDOM-ATOR 4000". Something was definitely a miss. Something horrible was going to happen and for some weird reason, Hermione had a feeling it was not going to turn out well for her.

As she pondered her impending doom, Professor Snape was barking out notes for the class to take in a more pissed off tone than usual. Hermiones sub-conscience automatically took in what the evil looking man had said, which in turn told her hands to write it down on the parchment before her, while her mind switched from her impending doom to that of her fellow human beings.  The first of which happened to be Ron and Harry.

Poor fools. They have no idea what is about to happen to them. Sure they can laugh and joke about it now, but in ten years time they'll be preaching about these next two days to the medi witches and wizards of St Mungo's!

 Of course that thought happened to be quite a funny, which caused Hermiones lips to form a small smirk, but she shook it off as soon as she began to think of more horror's the next few days events would bring.

Well, Ron, I don't think he'll mind much. Although he is going to get such a whopping when Fred and George find out who he has to send a card to.

 Her Soft brown eyes made their way to the great Harry Potter.

 And Harry, well, maybe he will actually pull someone for a change. After that whole Cho thing he has never been the same…

She sighed as she finished off a sentence on her third sheet of 12ft parchment and went to grab herself another sheet. Her hands slightly mucky from the rich black ink she was using. This whole thing with Dumbledore and Valentines Day was something she didn't need. After having completed her OWLS with the most amazing scores Hogwarts have ever seen, she was now studying for her NEWTS and the mocks were only a few months away. She really didn't need any distraction if she had any real chance of beating the school record and not too mention a certain blonde haired boy.

It was true. In her OWLS she had just piped a certain Draco Malfoy to the top of the tables. Of course she and everyone else in Hogwarts was thrilled to pieces that she had done it, but she knew deep down that she had only just made it. A hundred marks down and I would have been beaten by that lazy, good for nothing, piece of hippogriff crap!  Which was also true. Master Malfoy was well known for being a complete and utter lay about, who did bugger all in lessons but still managed to ace all of his exams. Everyone thought it was due to the death eater connection and his father being a member of the Hogwarts PTA, but that theory was blown to pieces when Lucius got sent to Azkaban for not paying his broom taxes.

Hermione let herself glance at the Hippogriff crap himself, who was currently drawing a picture of a dragon eating up something that looked suspiciously like Professor McGonagall.

 He had changed, well only just. His hair had grown a little bit longer, which was now tied up in a neat little pony tale with a black ribbon, he had grown a bit taller, well taller than I am… and had put on some weight, in the right places of course. Not too muscley and not too thin. Not too handsome and not too ugly. Although Hermione couldn't comment on the last two, since her hormones had decided not to pay a visit to her in that respect of being a teenager just yet.

I wonder what he's going to do about this stupid idea Professor Dumbledores got? The Brainy girl thought to herself suddenly, her eyes still drawn to that silly scribble the Young Malfoy was sketching. I am sure he doesn't give a toss either way. But still, you have to feel sorry for him. I mean if he gets a card from someone outside Slytherin then he is in big trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if Ron or Harry got his name from that stupid looking machine and hexed his card something rotten. Then again… Hermione smirked. …I don't think I could resist hexing it if I had to give him the card.

But as she smiled, still thinking about what kind of curse she would put on Malfoy's card, the brown eyed girl suddenly felt something run over ever fingers like cool liquid. She quickly snapped out of her trance as she realised what the liquid was. Her inkpot had just "Magically" tipped itself all over Hermione's work. She growled in frustration as she tried to save her work from utter destruction. But as she did so she felt a pair of eyes on her and when she looked up to meet those very same peepers, she muttered an obscenity.

A pair of silvery blue/grey eyes, gleaming with utter satisfaction, bore into her own infuriated brown ones. Malfoy was smiling at her, in an "Oh, how rather odd and funny" way, which made our poor brain-ac want to go on a mass homicidal spree, with Malfoy being her first victim. She glared at him and mouthed the words:

"You dirty little Bastard, when I get my hands on you, your gonna wish you were never born, you immature little excuse for a ferret!"

While the, rather, amused Malfoy just smiled in a non vindictive way and mouthed back:

" I bet you would, my little Mudblood. I bet you would."

And then to add insult to injury, he gave her a provocative wink and went back to doing bugger all. Which of course made Hermione just want to kill stuff even more so than ever before.

You know, he may have changed physically, but mentally he is still the same utterly annoying Malfoy we all know and love to hate! Grrrrrrrrr…

But fortunately, or rather unfortunately when you consider what is going to happen next, Snape's joyful lesson had come to an end and break had begun! Every single student, including Slytherin, bolted out of that room like a bullet from a gun and were all headed for the same place. Although Hermione didn't seem to notice since she was too busy uttering rude things about Malfoy. She didn't even notice her two best friends walk up to her.

"Hey there happy, was Snape's lesson really that bad?" Asked a certain boy who lived.

Ron for some reason bounced up and down and made a really stupid face.

"Yeah, I mean it was crap, but I came out okay didn't I?"

Hermione just sighed and gave her two bestst buddies in the whole wide world a quick glance before restraining the urge to rant on about how Malfoy was an annoying prat who should be treated with severe torture as soon as possible. They already know that so no reason to rant…

"So many notes to write down. So many cauldrons to watch Neville ruin." She said in a low and slightly exasperated tone. "I hope you copied down the last set of notes he gave us today, I had a little accident with my ink pot coming into contact with my parchment." She asked trying not to make a big deal of the whole "Malfoy the ferret tipping ink all over my work." Thing.

Both Harry and Ron stopped dead. Both looking as pale as each other. Hermione knew what was coming next.

"Well…" Started Ron, his flame like hair now standing out more than usual against his incredibly pale face, but then Harry cut in and said

"We would have, but…"

Hermiones eyes narrowed dangerously as she let her brown eyes glare at the two idiots that stood before her.

"But what?" She growled.

"Erm…" The boy who lived croaked, looking as though a dementor was about to give him the kiss of his life and no doubt after life.

"We would have done it, if it wasn't for the fact me and Harry were beginning plans foe tomorrows events. Aka, what are we gonna do to the persons card we have to send."

"Besides," Ron got another word in. "We thought you would have got them written down, since you're a genius and all…"

They both fell silent as they watched a, exceedingly pissed off, Hermione push through the crowd towards the entrance of the library. Needless to say, our dear little bushy haired girl was not in a good mood.

Oh this is just great! Hermione cursed inside her head. First this stupid event, then Malfoy and now the idiot twins not doing their bloody work due to their utter male childish-ness! Her head and body was spinning with rage and annoyance and before she knew it she was at her destination.

 The corridor outside the library was buzzing with excitement, tension and the fear of impending doom. The "RANDOM-ATOR 4000" had been set up, with it's tacky glitter sparkling like Dumbledore's eyes, and all the students where standing around it as if it were some sort of big shiny thing to magpies. Only a few students had actually plucked up the courage to use the machine, one of which was skipping about past Hermione just then.

"W00t!" the rather large looking, blonde, 7th year. Slytherin girl screeched as she went skipping down the corridor to leading towards the main hall. "I got Snape! My mum's gonna be righteously jealous when she hears this! Hehehe. Ph34r my l33t m4gic skillz!"

The bushy haired wonder couldn't help but smile at the insane Slytherin's rantings. I now feel sorry for the poor potions master… But other than the large girl, it looked like no one else was going to choose his or her doom any time soon. Which annoyed Hermione greatly. No one was moving.

Twitch.

Not a single person.

Twitch Twitch.

They all just stood there like lemons.

Twitch Twitch SNAP!

" OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY AND UN-YOU-KNOW-WHO-ISH!"

Hermione screamed as she stepped forth to face the "RANDOM-ATOR 4000" head on. But before she pointed her wand, she heard a rather familiar shout from the crowd.

"Calm down, My little Mudblood. I am sure whoever gets you as a sender is more than happy to wait!"

Laughter erupted from one side of her. The Slytherin side. Malfoy…She snarled. That little ferret shit is going to wish he never drew breath after I finish with this idiotic exercise. That no good, long blonde, arsehole Malfoy is going down…And as she continued to bash him mentally she pointed her wand at the "RANDOM-ATOR 4000". A beam of pink-ish light shot out of her wand and hit the odd looking machine hard, causing it shake violently and smoke like a chimney. At one point one of the lower years shouted out:

"HIT THE DECK SHE'S GONNA BLOW!"

But of course, like all good magical machines, it was all show and no go. The machine didn't blow up; in fact all it did after all the commotion it made was to spit out a little onvolope, which landed neatly in Hermione's waiting hand. Like you couldn't guess it was going to do that!

All eyes were on her as she roughly ripped open the little whit envelope and read the name. And then, in a REALLY pissed off voice, Miss Granger did declare.

"OH FOR GOD SAKE! FATE HATES ME!"

With that she stormed off towards the unsuspecting Griffindor Tower, with a little gold card that read.

"Draco Malfoy"

(A/N: Lol, Okay, hands up those who didn't see that coming? Lol, un-original I know, but It's all part of the wonderful story I am making for the challenge Caz set me. Hehehe. A little self-insertion on the insane fat Slytherin. Who else would use l33t sp34k in an HP fic? Any hooo, if you enjoyed this chapter, your likely to enjoy the rest that I shall write. But for now feel free to review. So til next time. PIES!)
