"Just get over her Harry, she's a lost cause now. Why don't you focus on
someone else, like I know that cute Ravenclaw girl, what's her name, Lisa
Turnpin, no no, Turpin! That's it, well you know she's had a crush on you
for the longest time now." Ron said to Harry.
Ron just doesn't understand, he already had a girlfriend. Now a days it seemed like everyone was paired off. Ron and Hannah Abbot (a girl in Hufflepuff), Ginny and Colin Creevey, Hermione and Draco, everyone was together. And who do I have? I have stupid Voldermort!
Harry was thinking to himself about what happened earlier that morning. When he saw Hermione fall, it was like an instinct; he rushed over to help her up. When she scolded him he felt like he could die. Then a glimpse of hope, on the floor she had left her journal. Harry was so desperate to reach to Hermione and bring her back on the good side; he did the only thing he could think of. He opened the journal and read it. The most recent entry was written just yesterday.
"Dearest journal, You are the only one I can talk to freely about this. But if anyone finds out my secret, who knows what Draco will do to Harry. Oh, some people are coming, so I must end now. Lovingly signed, Hermione"
Now Harry didn't quite understand what that meant but he hoped it meant that she likes him, just as he likes her.
Quickly Harry scribbled a few words in the journal and ran as fast as he could to give it back to Hermione. He turned the corner, yelling at Hermione, and the first face he saw was Draco's.
Harry of course couldn't say anything in front of Draco so he gave Hermione her journal back and walked into the Great Hall.
Harry was of course disappointed but also excited, for the next class was potions. Now this is not the normal reaction of Harry's but this was a big exception. Snape one early morning figured out that Draco and Hermione were going out and that Harry and Ron were not speaking to Hermione. Snape, who wants to make any and all of the Gryffindor's lives miserable, found the perfect opportunity and made assigned seating. In the front row he had Harry, then Hermione, and then Ron. Behind them however, was Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. Harry was looking forward to seeing Hermione and finally talking to her, if she reads his little note he scribbled in her journal.
Finally the time came and Harry and Ron started to head towards the dungeon. It was August, which means that it's literally torture down there, being so hot and all. Ron was talking to Harry about wizard's chess, but Harry wasn't paying that much attention, he was instead watching for Hermione and Draco to appear.
"Okay class, sit down and shut up." Snape ordered. "We will be learning an intricate potion and at the end of class you must all try it on yourselves. If your potion was successful then your face will turn a bright yellow for a few seconds and then you will be back to your normal selves. If your potion is wrong for any reason, you will start to throw up caterpillars, and trust me, I will NOT be cleaning it up, you will." Snape then looked at Neville. Still after all these years at Hogwarts, he could do nothing right. Neville looked scared out of his mind, but didn't say anything.
"So who is missing? Ahh, I see miss perfect is not here, detention for her! One of you Gryffindors can tell her about that. Okay, no one else, well lets get started then!" Snape said. "But wait, Draco isn't here!" Ron shouted. "Don't you think I'm aware of that. For your information I sent him on an errand for me. And for your rudeness 20 points from Gryffindor."
"That's bull, Draco isn't doing Snape any bloody errand, I bet him and Hermione are." Ron let the sentence trail. All of a sudden Hermione walks in looking all flushed, and a few seconds Malfoy comes in looking a little steamed but still as sly as ever.

"I'm sorry I am late Professor Snape, Professor Mcgonnagal pulled me aside, but I have a note from her to excuse me." Hermione said all out of breath. "I don't care about any of your excuses, you were late and as I told the class, I'm telling you now, you have detention so see me after class to schedule it." Snape said while being rather flustered.
"But what about Draco, he was out also!" Hermione said angrily. "HE HAS AN EXCUSE! Any more talk out of your three (pointing to Hermione, Harry, and Ron), or anyone for that matter, and you will wish that you were back at home!" Snape said.
"Bull, Draco was with me the whole time." Hermione muttered underneath her breath. Harry looked at her and then looked down at his pen. Now he regretted more that ever writing in Hermione's journal.
Ron just doesn't understand, he already had a girlfriend. Now a days it seemed like everyone was paired off. Ron and Hannah Abbot (a girl in Hufflepuff), Ginny and Colin Creevey, Hermione and Draco, everyone was together. And who do I have? I have stupid Voldermort!
