"Where's Hermione? 'S not like her to be late!" Ron said worriedly.
"I dunno. But we can't go back, can we? Snape may come any minute!" cried Harry looking around for Hermione.
~o~o~o~
"Hermione!"
Hermione groaned and opened her eyes. Everything was blurry so she decided to go back to sleep.
"Hermione! Hermione wake up!"
She felt someone shaking her furiously back and forth. "Wha--?"
"Hermione! You're going to be late! Wake up!"
Hermione got up groggily and looked at the clock. It was 8:25 am.
"Oh my gosh!" Hermione panicked, quickly gathering all her books to her room. "This never happens to me!" "Ginny!" she looked at her alarmed shaking Ginny back and forth who looked dumbstruck. "What am I going to do?!"
"Hermione are you mad? Stop panicking and change! Classes will start in 5 minutes and you're not even dressed! Your first class is." Ginny looked at Hermione's schedule. "Damn! POTIONS!"
"POTIONS?!!" Hermione yelled. "What a way to start! POTIONS!?!" Hermione dashed for her room and within 2 mins, she ran out of the common room as quickly as she could.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
"And tell me, Mr. Longbottom, what is the main ingredient to make a Truth Serum?" Snape drawled, glaring at Neville who was quite frightened because of not knowing the answer.
"Jobberknoll Feathers!"
Hermione suddenly burst into the room, rushing in, her hair looking bushier than ever making the Slytherins silently snicker in their seats.
"Nice of you to join us, Ms. Granger. Very good BUT I asked Mr. Longbottom here and not you. No need to be a know-it-all now do we?" Snape asked rudely making all the Slytherins snicker all the more.
"And what a pity. I'll already have to deduct points from your house already when you haven't got any yet. Lets see, I do feel generous today so say about 50?"
"FIFTY?!!" yelled Hermione in disbelief.
"On second thought make that 70, for answering back. And let's add a bit of 15 points since Mr. Longbottom wasn't able to answer because of your intrusion."
Hermione scowled at him almost close to tears because of humiliation and anger.
"SIT." Snape said firmly. Hermione did as she was told and sat beside Ron and Harry both looking at her pitifully.
"Now as I was saying, before Ms. Granger here interrupted MY class," Snape eyed her viciously. "Jobberknoll feathers are."
Hermione's head was resting in the palms of her hand looking down sadly. "'S all right Hermione. We just have to get 85 points more today so that it'll break even." Ron whispered trying to cheer her up.
"Oh, this couldn't get any worse, could it?" Hermione grumbled as she put her hands in her face.
~o~o~o~
"Hey Granger!"
Hermione didn't want to look back since the last thing she ever wanted to see was Malfoy.
"Oy! Mudblood!"
Hermione groaned and came face to face with yes, the last thing she ever wanted to see, Malfoy.
"Really now, the know-it-all, late?"
Hermione turned around again to continue her tracks but Malfoy made her face him. "I'd say by the way you look, you look like some-some TRAMP!"
"Oh shut your trap Malfoy!" yelled Ron pushing him away.
"I see the Weasley has taken some liking into the Mudblood! I always knew you had it in you Weasley. You just didn't have the courage to say you like some TRAMP! Goodness, what taste!" Malfoy said sarcastically.
Then suddenly, Ron's fist came flying in the air straight at Malfoy's nose. It started to bleed and then, the war had begun. Kicks and fists came flying about and Harry who was trying to break it up, eventually got hit by Ron, who got hit by Malfoy.
"BOYS!" said a shocked voice
It was Professor McGonagall who quickly walked towards them, pushing the crowd. "What on Earth is going on here? Break it up! BREAK IT UP!"
It was a terrible sight. Ron's nose and mouth was bleeding furiously. Harry, who didn't want to get involved in the fight had his glasses broken and his mouth bleeding too. And Malfoy, looked the worst. He had a black eye, a nose that looked dislocated already and his sleek white-blonde hair was all over his face.
"It was all Malfoy's fault!" yelled Harry.
"Explanations later, Potter." Professor McGonagall said decisively. "Now you three proceed to the Hospital Wing immedialtely. Madam Pomfrey will attend to you there while I report your behavior to Professor Dumbledore's office. He will take care of your punishment, whether detention or not, you boys will get it!"
"What a disgrace you put yourselves into right front of the whole student body! And on the first day! Well, I never!" And with that, Professor McGonagall marched angrily down the hallway.
Everyone was just silent, just staring at the 3 badly-injured students. "Look what you got yourselves into!" cried Hermione, breaking up the silence. "You boys are so immature!" She ran down the hallway stamping her feet on her way.
"Hermione's right you know!" Ginny agreed angrily. "Just because of a stupid fight, here you are now standing idiotically looking like fools and now? Nothing! A good spanking and scolding will do the trick to bad boys like you! Hmph!" Ginny said motherly.
"I hope you've learned your lessons! You deserved it anyway!"
The 3 boys watched her as she ran to follow Hermione. They just stood there for a few moments until, "Well, I suppose you'll say it." Malfoy murmured.
"Say what?" Harry spat.
"Oh come on, Potter! Say it!"
"Oh. . ." groaned Ron.
"Say it Weasley."
"Why don't you say it Malfoy? You're the one who mentioned it! Say it!" yelled Harry.
"NO! Then you say it with me too! I'm not the only one who got in trouble!"
"OH YES!" Harry said furiously.
"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! SHUT UP THE BOTH OF YOU!" roared Ron. "IF YOU WON'T SAY IT. . ." he paused. "Then I will."
Malfoy and Harry watched him quietly waiting for his answer. Ron whimpered a bit and looked pitifully at Harry. "Go on. Say it." Harry said.
Ron looked around making sure that no one else was around. He took one last breath and. . .
"She's right."
"They're both right." Followed Harry. Malfoy looked confused. "Was that all? I thought you were going to say that I'm such an idiot or something. Or, or-say your last remarks about me and leave me here?"
Ron and Harry glanced at each other and grinned. "Alright. . .don't blame us Malfoy. You asked for it."
And with one big breath they both yelled at him, "YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT!" And did as they were told, left him there.
~o~o~o~
"Hermione!"
"Leave me alone!" Hermione crossly screamed out the password, Whimsy, at the Fat Lady who muttered something like, "Hot-Head".
"Hermione! Wait---"
The porthole slammed shut leaving Ginny all alone in front of the portrait.
The Fat Lady looked down at her sadly and smiled a bit to cheer her up. "Friendship Problems, dear?"
"No," Ginny sighed. "Boyfriend problems. Whimsy."
"In you go," The Fat Lady swung her portrait open to let Ginny in. "You know, when I was a lass about your age, I--?"
The portrait slammed shut again. "Was it something I said?"
~o~o~o~
"Hermione? Are you there?"
Ginny looked around and found her sitting by the window her chin rested upon the palm of her hand.
"Ginny, why are they always like that? she asked tears silently rolling down her cheeks.
"Like what?"
"You know, boys. so immature. and. always picking on me! WHY?"
"Because they're stupid. especially Malfoy who's skull is so thick nothing can't get inside anymore!"
Hermione smiled weakly. "But. I don't understand it. Why do they always have to pick on me? Hermione turned to face Ginny, her eyes visibly sore from crying.
"I mean every time they see me," she stuttered her voice all shaky. "Especially when I'm in the library, I-I can always hear them w-whisper, "Oh look its Granger girl the Gryffindor know-it-all! And those stupid Slytherins! They just make everything worse calling me, "Mudblood" or-or "Second-class" or something they don't know that hurts me!!!"
Her crying started again and didn't stop. "Well I guess they don't know you any better Hermione. They don't see what a great person you really are."
Hermione lit out a faint smile but tears still creeping of her eyes.
"Then why don't they get to know me first, Gin, instead of judging me for someone else that I'am not and throwing insults at me all the time?"
Ginny stopped to think. She didn't know what to say because Hermione was right. Why didn't they get to know her first?
"Hermione, does it matter what they say?"
Hermione, embarrassed, turned away from Gin knowing she was right. It doesn't.
"You know what matters?" Hermione shook her head. "This."
Ginny pointed to Hermione's chest where her heart was found.
"It matters because YOU have one, and they don't. They don't have one because they don't want it and think it's useless whenits not. They live in a world of misery and deceit while you live in a world of happiness surrounded by friends and family."
"Those people like Malfoy, don't know what it's like to be in your world because they're afraid. Afraid of what might become of them and his world. Afraid of acceptance and change. But you, Mione," Ginny smiled cupping her chin making her look at her.
"You aren't. Because you have confidence in yourself to fight for what you believe. You have Courage Faith to guide you through your journey. Trust to help you survive in this world and to trust yourself before you trust others. And lastly. LOVE. The most important thing you need to have all of these and of course, that makes the original you. Hermione Granger."
Hermione stopped crying and smiled gratefully at Ginny. She gave a tight hug and whispered, "Thank you. You're one Weasley I can always count on." And they both laughed taking and forgetting all the sadness they had felt.
