That One Day Where Things Happen…By The Redundant Goddess!
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Gryffindor Wronged… Or Does It?
Need less to say after the bushy haired brain's encounter with the bleach blonde bitch from the depths of the Slytherin dungeons; Hermione Granger's mood was pretty much consistent. Consistent meaning that she was on the warpath and when Hermione Granger was on a warpath, no one, not even Ol' Voldie himself, had any chance of stopping her until a large trail of death and destruction lay in her wake. So it was rather unfortunate that the lesson after break just so happened to be potions with Slytherin. Oh dear….
Now although Hermione was in the mother of all teenage homicidal moods, only Harry and Ron were the only ones who knew what mood she was truly in, which was indicated to Hermione by the extremely wide birth when they gave her when they saw the fiery caged like rage glint in her usually soft brown eyes. The Bushy one actually managed to not flip out on anyone. Even after Professor Snape insulted her style of writing when she was writing down her notes. Of course luckily for Snape and everyone else in the room Hermione didn't unleash the fury that was boiling within her body. Far from it, she just said nothing and starred ahead. More precisely she was glaring at the back of a certain blonde boy's head. Hoping that the look in her eyes would be enough to make his head explode, but of course that didn't happen. Just as well. Snape would have kept me in for doing that and I am not cleaning up what would have been left of the insufferable git…
Speaking of Malfoy, after this morning and Hermione's smug thoughts about how Malfoy would react to her card, he was surprisingly quiet apart from when he gave her that funny wink and smile in Care of Magical creatures that morning. She thought he would have at least given her a funny look by now. Since potions was his usual time for pissing her off. But for some reason he didn't even glance at her. Which naturally pissed our dear Gryffindor off to no end. GOD DAMNIT! THAT GIT NEVER DOES ANYTHING RIGHT!
She was getting paranoid. Believing that really he was sitting over there, after having sent Pansy to annoy her and laughing about how brilliant he was. If he is I'll find out after the lesson… However whilst Hermione was mental beating the living shit out of the young heir of Malfoy, she did notice he was looking at something other than his notes. He kept looking at it. Playing with it. The annoying thing was Hermione wanted to know what it was, although she was pretty sure she knew any way. But of course she wasn't going to find out until the lesson ended. Which luckily for her it just did.
As everyone filed out of the room and made they way to the next lesson, with Harry and Ron bolting out of the dank dungeon in fear of Hermione's wrath obviously thinking they had tipped her over the edge, Don't know why that is… the 6th year girl quietly and slowly packed up her stuff and waited for her opportunity to exact her vengeance upon her prey, who was currently sucking up to Snape for not paying attention in his lesson. She didn't have to wait long before she say the long-ish blonde locks of Draco Malfoy exit the room and then from behind the door, she pounced.
Suddenly with all her rage directed into her arm's muscles, she pushed Malfoy into a dark corner with the strength that could rival a gigantic dragon. Slightly caught off guard by his sudden attack Malfoy nearly fell arse over tit, but luckily landed against a wall just in the nick of time. He looked a bit shocked before he realized who it was who had pushed him against the wall and was now glaring at him with a mad look in her brown eyes. As ever he just smiled.
"Well hello Miss Granger." He chuckled. " If I knew you liked it this rough I would have worn my leather trousers!"
"Shut up Malfoy." She snarled in such a way Draco actually started to show signs of actual fear.
He gave a small gulp before shaking his head and crossing his arms. With an eyebrow raised he began to speak again.
"So tell me my dear, why did you feel it necessary to get me into a dark corner? Unless you wanted to finish what we started in the library…."
At this Hermione gave a sarcastic laugh and what colour there was in Malfoy's face paled some more.
"Do me a favour Malfoy and shut up unless you have anything good to say since it might make the difference between either you living or dying. Any way, you started that and then chickened out!"
If it wasn't for the fact the, now, sadistic looking young woman was now scaring the living daylights out of him, Draco would have said something really insulting, so instead he just settled for this:
"So this is why I am here? Your disappointed in me?" He gave a weak pout before feeling Hermione grab him by the tie with such a force he was pretty sure he was going to meet his maker.
The Gryffindor's face was right up close to the very scared Slyterin's that he could feel her erratic breath against his even paler face. With her eyes narrowed and looking increasingly psychopathic, Hermione spoke again.
"Malfoy." She growled. "Did you send me a card?"
Draco gave a very very weak smirk.
"Maybe…" His eyes slightly sparkled in spite of his somewhat fatal position he was in.
She rolled her eyes.
"I'll take that as a yes then." With that she took a deep breath and started to unleash the fury.
"HOW DARE YOU SEND ME A CARD!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. " WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT? DID YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD ENJOY THAT CARD?".
She stopped to get a lungful of air, when Malfoy began to stutter.
"Er…"
"WELL I DIDN'T LIKE IT! ONLY YOU COULD BE SO ARRAGONT TO SEND ME OF ALL PEOPLE THAT TYPE OF CARD! YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY. ALL YOU EVER DO IS PICK ON ME AND ANNOY ME AND WHAT FOR?"
"Granger… I…" He croaked in a vein attempt to get a word in, but of course…
"SHUT UP! ONLY YOU COULD WRITE A CARD LIKE THAT! WHAT WAS THAT POEM ABOUT ANY WAY? YOU FORGIVING ME? IT'S YOU WHO SHOULD BEG FORGIVENESS FROM ME YOU BLOODY PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A WIZARD, no wait… HUMAN BEING!"
"…Now easy there don't get so upset…" Was probably the wrong thing to say when a Granger is on a major rant.
"UP SET? YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU? I DON'T LIKE YOU AND I NEVER WILL! SO YOU CAN STUFF THAT SECRET IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!"
There was a sudden silence that swept the dungeon, like the calm after the storm, before Hermione let go of a thoroughly traumatized Malfoy and straightened her robes. Ha! That showed him!
"And now if you don't mind I am late for Herbology."
And with that a now happier Hermione skipped of to her lesson leaving behind a very… dare I say it upset looking Malfoy, who just stood there blinking in an odd daze.
"What the hell just happened?"
Meanwhile Hermione had made it to her lesson, apologised for being late to a very lovey dovey looking Professor Sprout, who seemed to be making gooy eyes at a very happy Neville Which is just wrong. So very, very wrong…, and proceeded to sit down next to a terrified looking Justin. He was shaking all over and didn't lok very happy to see Hermione at all! Which when you consider what mood our young Gryffindor gal was in the day before, it's quite understandable why he was quaking with fear. But luckily for him, Hermione was in a much better mood after having verbally abused poor Malfoy. You know, nothing beats screaming at someone who deserves it to flush the anger out your system!
She smiled happily as she carefully went about her work before Justin had the courage to speak to her.
"er… hu-hullo Hermione?" His posh voice dripping with fear. But Hermione just smiled.
"Oh, Hello Justin. How are you? Sorry for being in a completely demonic mood yesterday, but that's all sorted now. I can promise you I am not in a mood at all. Nope not one bit!"
He gave a weak smile.
" Really?"
"My yes!" She grinned, remembering the verbal punishment she had just dished out. " Serves the sod right for sending me that card!"
Justin's face fell and it looked like he was going to die.
"C-c-card?"
"Yeah, some little so and so sent me a card, which annoyed me to the point of… well lets just say I wasn't happy and I wanted to kill the bastard very slowly." She beamed. However the Hufflepuff boy just looked like he was going to puke his guts out at any moment.
"Oh?"
"Uh huh" She nodded happily, whilst planting some pretty flower type thing that could make a really nasty poison. "Don't worry, I have sorted it out… although I would like to get my hands on him and beat him up some…"
"I'M SO SORRY!" Screeched the poor boy, who was almost in tears at this point.
Of course the confused Hermione, who just starred at the boy as if he had just grown wings of gold.
"Er… sorry about what exactly?"
Justin gave a long hard sigh before regaining his composure, although he was still shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
"Hermione please don't be mad at me, but…" He gulped again. "… I sent you the card. I got your name."
The bushy haired one stopped what she was doing. Her faced drooped a bit from its happy expression. She looked at Justin as if she had just found out she was actually a large turnip in a sea of giant pies. I.E. flabber ghasted. This was certainly something she hadn't anticipated. In fact, she had over looked this completely. How the hell did I miss this one? Finally after what seemed like an eternity she finally replied.
"Oh?" she breathed softly. " You did?"
He nodded slightly whilst stroking a leave from his plant.
"Yeah I did, but I thought you knew? I was so worried. I mean that lyric thingy. Okay I ripped that from a Queen's Of The Stone Age track, but I managed to come up some original stuff to go with it. Sort of a joke really, you know since you were kinda…"
"In the foulest mood known to man yesterday?" She cut in sounding more gob smacked by the minute.
"… Yeah, that." He laughed a bit. Looking a bit more happier as he went on. " Then when you came in here I thought you were going to crucify me, after over hearing Ron and Harry talk about how annoyed you were in potions last lesson. And then you started to talking about how you dealt with your anger and the card and…"
"You thought I was going curse you into the next world?" Hermione helpfully interjected again.
Justin just nodded again before Hermione pulled him into a large cuddle and said she was sorry. She really felt bad and not just for scaring the living daylights out of poor Justin. How the hell did I miss that? I'm usually good at working our puzzles and stuff. Then again I was still pretty annoyed with Draco…Suddenly the bad feeling got worse. Oh god! I just went off at him and he didn't even do anything! Oh god…
Thus began Hermione Granger's decent into "Oh-My-ness". The thing was, what was she going to do now?
(A/N: Now hands up who didn't see that coming? Come on hands up! Lol. I hope that was a good twist, but don't worry all the loose strings will be tied up I promise! And XiaoBai , Don't worry dude, you'll see Draco's reaction to Hermione's card soon. Promise! Sorry if this chapter was a bit short, but it served it's purpose. So until next chapter, PIES! P.S Review nicely too! Hehehe.)
