Chapter six~ Potions
Hermione didn't go down for lunch. Malfoy hoped she would. He sat at the Slytherin table. He kept looking over at the Gryffindor table seeing if she was there.
"She has to be at Potions." He thought.
Crabbe and Goyle were watching Malfoy suspiciously. They didn't dare ask questions. Malfoy at his lunch quietly. He didn't talk to Crabbe or Goyle. He just sat there thinking about Hermione.
After lunch, he headed back to the common room to get his books. He grabbed his Potions book and some parchment and two quills. He put them in his book bag and went to the Potions classroom. It didn't take him very long to get there considering the Common room was in the dungeons. He sat down in an empty seat. He saved a spot for Hermione.
Hermione didn't feel like eating. She stayed in her dorm and watched the birds fly past the window. She looked at the clock. It was 12:30. At one, she'd have to go to Potions. She hated Potions, and she hated it even more now because Malfoy was in it. Even though he was always in her Potions class, it was different now. She grabbed her bag and books. She sat down on her bed and watched Crookshanks purr softly.
"Oh, Crookshanks. Your life is so much easier than mine. You have no care in the world." Hermione said softly to her fluffy cat.
Crookshanks lifted up his head. Hermione patted it then looked away.
"Why does everything happen to me?" She asked the thin air.
She waited a while as if she thought it might answer back. She sighed and got up.
"Hermione, are you coming?" It was Carine she had just come up from downstairs.
"Yes...yes I am." Hermione said smiling as she walked with Carine down to the Common room.
"Hermione are you ok?" Ron asked.
"I'm fine..." Hermione replied.
"Ok...you're sure?" Harry asked.
"Yes...I'm sure." Hermione reassured them. She started walking towards the door. The other three followed.
Down in the dungeon Malfoy spotted Hermione come in. He started to walk up to her but then saw Harry and Ron and sat back down. Hermione Harry Ron and Carine all sat next to each other.
"Hello class... what an unpleasant surprise... we'll just have to separate these four up right now. Potter move over to Crabbe. Goyle come sit over here by Weasley. Granger go sit next to Malfoy..." Snape began.
"But Professor not him please anyone but him..." Hermione complained.
Snape could see how this displeased Hermione and said, "DON'T QUESTION MY AUTHORITY! You shall sit next to him and like it!"
Hermione groaned as she went to sit by Malfoy. Malfoy rolled his eyes. On the outside it seemed like he wasn't happy about this arrangement but on the inside he was leaping for joy. Hermione slammed her books down on the desk a slumped down in the chair. She didn't want to be there right now. Not at all.
"Now today we will be making a truth potion and I want the person sitting next to you to be your partner. Once it is made, you will be testing it on each other. Here are the ingredients." Snape started naming off things like eye of newt and hair of a toad.
Parvati raised her hand.
"Yes Patil..." Snape said lazily.
"Do toads have hair?" She asked.
"If toads didn't have hair do you think I'd be telling you to put it in your potion?!" Snape asked angrily.
Parvati bowed her head.
"Now where was I? Oh yes..." Snape started naming of more things. Hermione wrote them down on a piece of parchment.
"Hey Hermione? I wanted to tell you that I didn't mean what I said this morning." Malfoy said.
"Don't talk to me!" Hermione replied.
"No seriously...I wanted to make it up to you... please meet me in the library and I can make all you dreams come true." Malfoy said as he handed her a flower.
Hermione looked at it then up at Malfoy. She didn't know what to say and didn't want to say it. She sighed and shook her head.
"Ok...now will you please let me finish this list?" Hermione said. Malfoy smiled and let her continue.
"OK we're supposed to add the eye of newt first and then the lice of a whale." Hermione said as Malfoy put the ingredients in the cauldron.
Malfoy looked up from the cauldron. He smiled at Hermione. She looked at him and rolled her eyes. She went back to reading off the list.
*CLUNK! SPLASH!* Neville had just spilled his cauldron all over the floor.
"You insensible idiot!" Snape cursed.
Neville backed away. The potion was burning a whole in the floor.
"THIS WILL TAKE WEEKS TO FIX!" Snape shouted. "EVERYBODY GET OUTSIDE AND WAIT FOR ME TO COME OUT! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING LONGBOTTOM?! YOU ARE HELPING ME GET THIS CLEANED UP!" Snape shouted some more.
Neville walked back slowly. Hermione gathered up her stuff and headed out the door with everybody else.
"That stupid fat head Longbottom. He's always getting into trouble." Malfoy said laughing.
"What did you just call him?!" Hermione asked.
"A stupid fat head. He is one of course." Malfoy repeated.
"Neville is not a stupid fat head! He is an intelligent young man! Now that you have insulted my friend you can forget about me meeting you in the library." Hermione said as she walked off.
"What did she mean?" Harry asked.
"Nothing! Mind your own business Potter!" Malfoy said.
"This is my business! Hermione is my friend! I want to know now!" Harry yelled.
"I told you she meant nothing now get out of my way Potter!" Malfoy walked away as well.
Snape came out of the classroom. "You shall have the rest of the day off. There will be no more Potions for the week." He said as he eyed Harry. He noticed that two students were missing.
"Where are the other two students?" He asked.
"Right here Professor." Malfoy said as he walked up with Hermione at his side.
"Granger here tried running off but I got her in time." Malfoy said smirking.
"WHAT?! I did not run off!" Hermione complained.
"She's lying Professor." Malfoy said.
"I don't care who is right and who is wrong just all of you get out of my sight now!" Snape shouted. Everybody scurried off.
