A/N: Well… what to write, what to write? I dunno. Nothing much has been
going on in my life at the moment. I'm in a few plays and my theater
company is holding a showcase. That's about it.
DEDICATION: I'm dedicating this chapter to HarryHermione4Ever because she gave me this idea.
Disclaimer: I do not have any rights to the Harry Potter books and or characters. I own the characters: Will, Simon, Blair, Gabrielle, and Gungeon. JK Rowling owns the idea for Arabella but I own her characteristics. I also own the plot. Yay me!
So a month had passed and it was the end of January. The New ear was definitely new for Hermione. It was the first year she was parentless and it was the first year she was in love and knew someone loved her. But the end of January marked one thing the beginning of getting ready for NEWTS.
Hermione was in the Library poring over book after book. She was looking through: Advanced Magic For NEWT Testing: Practice Questions when a piece of paper- an ad- fell out. She picked it up.
CAFFENINE PILLS: Guaranteed to make studying easier!
Hermione stared at the ad as if it was the ticket to her problems. You see, Hermione had been studying on little or no sleep. If anything would make studying easier she was game. She pulled a clean piece of paper out of her notebook (A/N: Hogwarts had switched to muggle supplies cuz they were easier) and scribbled the address down. She collected her things and went to her dorm to get some galleons so she could send them in. Withdrawing 12 galleons from her purse she slipped it in an envelope she marked down all the info it needed and gave it to Hedwig to deliver. Hermione settled down on her bed to study.
"Hermi!" Hermione heard a voice call.
"I'm in here Harry!" She called. Harry entered her room. He sat down on the bed next to her. He picked up the ad.
"Where'd you this?" He asked seriously. She picked up the book she found it in, not moving her eyes from her notes from the last 7 years.
"Can you believe some people? That desperate for grades. These don't even work. They're drugs." He said shaking his head.
"No they're not." Hermione choked, looking up. "They're a perfectly safe stimulant." Harry laughed.
"Not if you call 10 million related deaths 'safe.'" Harry said. Then he became serious, "Hermione, you didn't buy any did you?"
"No." Hermione lied quickly.
"Okay…" Harry said skeptically. "Well, its dinner time. Let's go." He took her hand and pulled her up.
The next day at breakfast an owl dropped a package on Hermione's lap. She peeked in.
It was the caffeine pills.
She decided she'd use them in moderation. She was smart. She wouldn't get hurt.
So after breakfast she raced to her room and swallowed one. In 10 minutes she felt jazzed enough to start studying. Will walked in about an hour later.
"Oh hi Will! Hi Will!!" Hermione said happily.
"We gotta get you off the sugar, Minnie." Will said shaking his head. Hermione shrugged.
"Well… I've been able to study lots more. Lots and lots more. I'm gunna do grrrreat! On the NEWTS." Hermione began to giggle, "I sound like Tony the Tiger.
"Ok…" Will said, "Seriously, Hermi, what are you on?"
"Why would you say that? Huh? Why? Why do you think I'm on something? And what's with the third degree?" She asked.
"Hermione… remember last year when I came home drunk and you promised yourself you'd never ever drink?" Hermione nodded. "You haven't ya know… decided to stuff that plan did ya?" Hermione shook her head.
"Oh no, no, no." Hermione said, "I just found a good study-buddy!"
"Pot?" He asked seriously but with the same twinkle remaining in his eyes, he knew his sister wouldn't do that.
"No!" Hermione said point-blankly. "Caffeine."
"Hermione, you've been drinking coffee for years. You just discovered this now?" He asked. She shrugged,
"I guess." She said.
"Well down go overboard, Minnie." Will said, standing up and turning to go. Hermione returned to her studying.
About a week this went on and everyone just assumed Hermione was 'getting lucky' by her overly happy attitude even though Harry remained both levelheaded and kept his usual angsty persona (A/N: Does Harry strike anyone as angsty? He does me… anywayz). He was awful suspicious. Will told him over and over again the Hermione wasn't doing drugs (A/N: Oh yeah if you're wondering why I won't drop the drug angle- I just think it's funny. Hermione one drugs! As if! Anyway me and my friends [Okay only Ryan and I] like to joke about stuff like that sometimes) but was drinking coffee more frequently.
One morning Harry woke up early and walked groggily to the bathroom. He opened to door and found Hermione in there. She was popping something into her mouth and taking a long sip of water. When she heard him come in she turned around quickly.
"Umm… Harry…" She began. Harry picked up a vial with pills in them.
They were caffeine pills.
"Hermione, what the hell are you doing with these?" He asked. Hermione looked down at her shoes. "Didn't you hear when I said they were dangerous? Guess not." He unscrewed the lip and poured the contents into the toilet.
"No!" Hermione screamed.
"See you're addicted already!" Harry yelled back.
"No…" Hermione said, she began crying and Harry hugged her. He kissed her on the top of her head. After she finished crying Harry led to her bed. She sat down and Harry sat next to her.
"Explain." He said seriously. Hermione took a deep breath.
"Well… I found the ad and thought, you know, it'd make me study better. Then you told me it was bad and I was afraid to tell you I bought it. I decided I'd use it in moderation. Then I guess I sort of… got dependant on them." Hermione said. She began to cry. Harry held her for a while. She seemed so frail… so small… so helpless.
Voldemort smiled evilly watching the two teenagers embracing in his crystal ball. It was going to be a long year for Harry Potter. And a gruesome one if Voldemort had his say.
