Chapter 2

Nearly Headless Nick's Help

Hermione was having the worst day ever. She had no idea what to do. She left the room in disappointment. As she slumped down the hall moaning and thinking how many points Gryffindor is going to lose because of her. Then she heard some chatting going on further down the hall. So she ran down toward the sound and saw Nearly Headless Nick talking to the Bloody Barren. She could see by the look on Nearly Headless Nick's face that he wasn't enjoying the conversation. They seemed to be fighting over something. Nearly Headless Nick looked at Hermione and his face lightened up. "Why hello Hermione!"

"Hello Sir Nicholas!" Replied Hermione. The Bloody Barren looked at Nearly Headless Nick in disguste.

"I guess I'll leave you and your little Mudblood friend alone now." Hermione grew with anger. Tears were almost gushing out of her face. But she said to herself, "No don'y cry, hold it in Hermione" The Bloody Barren looked at Hermione with the most confused face ever, because he could hear Hermione talking to herself. The Bloody Barren floated off down the hall.

"Don't mind him Hermione." Said Nearly Headless Nick. "Why arn't you in classes?"

"Oh, I slept in and now the potions class room is empty! I'm so stupid!" Yelled Hermione.

"Now, now. You shouldn't insult yourself like that." Said Nearly Headless Nick. "Besides, you don't have to worry, I know where your classmates and Potions teacher is."

"Where!?"

"Snape mearly took the class out to Greenhouse number 4 I believe. Professor Sprout was growing SeedNecks and Snape wanted to make some potion with it."

"Of course! The NarineFlack potion! It puts your someone under your complete control!" Yelled Hermione.

"I guess," Said Nearly Headless Nick.

"But, what would Snape want with that.?" Questioned Hermione. "I guess he is only making it for his Potions shelf, he has almost has any kind of potion there for emergencies to give to Dumbledore"

"I th-" Started Nearly Headless Nick. But Hermione was too quick.

"Oh well...I just have to get to Potions. I still have 10 minutes left to the lesson I think. Well thank you so much Nearly Headless Nick!" She smiled at him and she went to Green house number 4. Nearly Headless Nick stood there with his mouth open and said in a kind of unsure voice.

"Your Welcome?"
