Chapter 2

Back to classes

Hermione left the hospital wing 2 weeks later. She almost burst into tears when she found out how much homework they had to do. "How! Why didn't you tell me?" she screamed. Ron gaped at her. "Because, umm- Harry was umm.going to give you your homework!" Ron stammered. "Harry, why didn't you?" she asked him firmly. "No I didn't!" Harry snapped. "Right!" she shouted. Then Hermione turned and stormed out the common room. "Blimey, she so grumpy after what happened." Ron sighed. "Yeah, but I wonder want she meant by from beneath you it devours?" Harry asked. "Maybe she's going to be made a prefect." Ron laughed. "Come off it, Ron. We all know she will be and she'll be Head Girl in her 7th year." "Harry, don't act smart." He frowned at Ron. "Come on. Charm's next." Harry said pulling Ron. They quickly made their way to the charms room when, "Potter, you forgot this!" Snape was holding a piece of parchment. "Thank you, Professor." He said reaching for the parchment. "Watch it, Mr Potter. From beneath you it devours." Then he walked away. As the sat down in Charms Hermione was writing like mad trying to finish her homework. "Today we are doing the self cleaning spell. Please, get into partner and cover one in dirt." Professor Flitwick squeaked. Harry partnered up with Hermione who didn't seem to mind much. Ron and Dean and so on and so forth. Harry covered himself in dirt and Hermione mumbled, "Dirtous Cleanous." Then he was squeaky clean. "Hermione, you look funny. Is everything all right?" "Huh? Oh yes of course. Why do you ask, Harry?" "Because you're turned pale just now.," he said pointing at her cheeks. She blushed. "Nothing. It's just that I remembered when I saw him. He was so pale and skinny. I felt like I was going to die. He looked all around smelling. Then he looked me in the eye. Then said, 'Kill the mudblood.' A deatheater came and grabbed my wrist. My dad tried to shake him off then You-Know-Who kill him. I watched him fall and then he turned to me and looked at me. Harry, he wanted me to become a deatheater!" she sobbed. Then she cried on him. Not knowing what to do he stood there and patted her head. "It's okay, Hermione." "No, it's not!" then the bell rang. Ron and them headed out to Care of Magical Creatures class. Hagrid the gameskeeper and professor of the class looked at them. "Hermione, good tah see you again." he boomed. She smiled. "I've missed you too." She said hugging him. The Slytherins'came up to the hut. "Pity. Granger's isn't dead." Malfoy hissed loudly. Ron dived at him. A crunch echoed. Ron had broken Malfoy's nose. "Ouch!" he groaned. "Up ter the castle with yeh!" Hagrid growled. Hr grabbed Malfoy and marched him up. "Father will hear from me about this!" Malfoy said. "No he won't or I'll be sure you'll have a detention with me." Hagrid growled. He went pale. "Fine" Malfoy dallied. As the Griffindors and the Slytherins climbed up the stairs to the Great Hall they talked loudly. "They should fire him!" Pansy Parkinson shrieked. "Hagrid didn't do anything!" Dean shouted. Crabbe grabbed Dean and held him up. "You'd better pray for a miracle." Crabbe hissed. "And it has been answered." Said a stern voice in his ear. He jumped letting go of Dean; who fell to the ground hard. Profess R. J Lupin was standing there a look of amusement on his face. "Good afternoon, Harry, Ron, Hermione." He said. "Good afternoon, Professor." They chorused. The Slytherins scowled and walked away. Snape looked at the four of them beadly. 'I'll get them. But not yet' he thought. Then his thoughts landed on Lily. His only friend and love. He had been envious when he learned that Head boy James Potter and Head girl Lily Evens were dating. He flipped. Her perfect looks, good grades, and attitude were best for him. Then there was Potter. Potter with his messy black hair that the girls fell for, his deep chocolate brown eyes, his goofy grin, his perfect, grades and his quidditch skills. But Snape was nice inside he just doesn't show it. He looked at a picture of the Head girls. There was Lily smiling. Those haunting emerald green eyes were too much. Her long flaming hair was like silk. Snape smiled at her. Then the Head boy picture caught his eye. James Potter looked at him and grinned. His hair stood up in all directions. Snape scowled and made his way to his office. Harry sat in Divination thinking. "Mr Potter, please kindly join us in mind reading." Professor Trealawne (sorry if spelt wrong) snapped. Ron choked on laughter. "Yes?" she said. "Professor, when are we going to learn how to read each others eyes?" Lavender Brown asked waving her hand in the air. "Not until next term, my dear." She replied. Harry groaned. Now more than ever the old teacher said that he was going to die very soon. He laughed at this. "Please, groups of twos! I want you to look into their minds. Look on pages 20-21 for information!" she called. Harry and Ron opened their copies of Unfogging the Future. "Right, then. Harry, hold still." Ron said placing his two index fingers to his temples. He saw flashes of his parents, Sirius, Voldemort, dementors, homework, Quidditch, the Dursleys, school, Ron, Ron's family, Snape ( not in that sort of way ^_^*), and a girl. But she was foggy. But she had a really great looking body. "I see you parents, snuffles, You-Know-Who, gulp dementors, Harry, come on! Homework! The Dursleys, school, me awe, my family, Snape, huh? Oh and a girl!" Ron grinned. He gulped. "OK, Hotshot! Let's see you mind!" Harry snapped. He placed his fingers to his temples and. Harry only saw one thing. Hermione. He gulped then she changed to. Lavender Brown. Harry chuckled. "I only saw Lavender Brown." He informed Ron. He blushed so deeply he looked like a bright red apple. Soon the bell rang for Transfiguration. They meet Hermione who looked very tired. "Professor Viktor just had us write up essays that have to be 8 feet long! And it's due Wednesday!" she wailed. "And on top of that I've got two tests, 4 essays, 4 potions assignments, 2 charts, and I've got to learn how to change into a phoenix!" she added. Ron and Harry looked startled. "Need help?" Harry asked her as the hem of her bag split open. "Oh, yes, thanks." Hermione panted grabbing all her quills and ink. He reached down and picked up her potions and transfiguration books and her bag. Ron dived and picked up a huge spell book. "Come on, Hermione!" he said leading her away. "Harry, come on." Ron called after him. He followed them to McGonagall's class. As he opened the door Hermione came out. And closed it. Her eyes serious.
