Hello! Sorry if this chapter is short. I'm just writing this and then the
chapter so I'm not sure how long it will be. I still need more reviews.
Anywho. Here's the 7th chapter.

Ch.7- Potions and Astronomy
Hermione woke up the next morning with the sun shining on her face like nothing else. Hermione closed her eyes in surprise at how bright it was. She looked at her watch and jumped out of bed. Breakfast had already started. She put on her robes and took her backpack. She ran down the hallways and bumped into Ron, who was coming around the corner Hermione was running past. "Glad to see you're feeling better." He said.
"Oh Ron, it's you." Hermione said picking up her bag. "Yeah I feel a lot better after that sleep even if I woke up in the middle of the night and saw Harry sleeping in a very uncomfortable position in the chair next to my bed. I made him go back to the common room though."
"He went down to see you?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, he didn't tell you?" asked Hermione as they made their way into the great hall.
"Nope, I wonder why?" he replied. They sat down and started to eat. About five minutes later Harry walked in or rather slumped. "Tired, Harry?"
"Very." He sat next to Hermione. "How come you are so tired?" asked Hermione.
"I couldn't sleep much. I kept having this dream where you and me are walking around the lake holding hands. I dunno? And you collapse again and I bring you to the infirmary. And you don't wake up for like a week and then you die."
"Oh, Harry!" Hermione said. "Do you really think I'm going to die?"
"Hermione, there is no cure. No possible way to get rid of it or believe me, you wouldn't have Leukemia anymore." He said. Hermione hugged him.
"Harry, I'm telling you right now, I'm not going to die. I won't."
"Good." The bell rang (A/N: is there a bell?) indicating that breakfast was over and the Golden Trio walked out of the great hall towards the dungeons. They turned a corner and then entered the potions classroom. Hermione, Harry and Ron sat down at the table where Dean and Seamus were sitting at and took out their books. Draco and his 'friends' walked in and sat at the table where Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode were waiting for them. Draco sat as far away from Pansy as possible and Goyle sat as close to Millicent as possible since they were dating. Hermione opened her book and started to read something about the polyjuice potion. Two minutes later Snape was telling them to pair up again and continue to make the polyjuice potion.
"You will have the same partners as last time, continue to make the polyjuice potion, you must come and get the powdered horn of a Bicorn and shredded skin of a Boomslang on my desk." Hermione smiled at Harry and Ron and made her way over to Draco.
"So, promise not to mess up this time?" asked Hermione.
"We already have Detention tonight why would I want another? And it's Friday!"
"Yeah, what a waste of a Friday night." Hermione said sitting down next to Draco. "Get the knotgrass and Fluxweed."
"Ok, What are you getting?" asked Draco getting the ingredients he was told to.
"Lacewing flies, slugs, powdered horn of a Bicorn and Shredded skin of a Boomslang." She said pulling the Lacewing flies and slugs out of her bag. Hermione put the two jars on the table and walked up to Snape's Desk. She took two jars, one with the shredded skin of a Boomslang and one with a powdered horn of a Bicorn. She walked back over to Draco and laid the jars on the table. "I'm going to put the slugs in now. Then you put the FLUXWEED in OK?"
"Yup, Got it." Said Draco.
"OK, you can put it in now." Draco put the Fluxweed in and plugged his ears. Draco It's not going to blow up again you put in the right thing."
"Ok," he took his fingers out of his ears, Hermione laughed. "What?"
"You automatically thought it was gonna blow up." Said Hermione, "That's all for today it takes like a month for this potion to brew."
"Really?"
"Yeah, what do we do when we're done?"
"I dunno."
"Excuse me, Professor, but what are we supposed to do when we are done putting in the ingredients that we are supposed to?"
"You have the Slugs and the Fluxweed in?" asked Prof. Snape.
"Yes sir!"
"Then you and you're partner may leave if you wish."
"OK!" Hermione packed up her stuff. "You coming Draco?"
"Oh, um OK." He put his book in his bag and got up. He and Hermione left. Ron glared.
"Harry!" Harry was sitting behind him. "Did you see that?"
"What?" asked Harry.
"Hermione just left with Malfoy!"
"So, they are partners and besides they do live together, Ron."
"Right, nothing to worry about." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, when should we have those tutoring sessions?" asked Hermione.
"I don't care really. I have no schedule." Said Draco.
"OK, How about Thursday nights at 6:30?"
"OK."
"I wonder what we'll have to do for our detention?"
"Yeah."
"I hope we don't have to polish trophies or anything."
"Me too."
"Préfet uni," Hermione and Draco walked in. Hermione sat down on her couch, Draco on his. Hermione took her Astronomy book out of her bag (That was their next class) She opened it to the first of the five chapters dedicated to constellations.
"What'cha reading" asked Draco.
"The Astronomy book." She said. "Did you know that you were named after a constellation?" "No I didn't." he came over and sat next to her peering at the book.
"See, Draco the Dragon."
"Cool."
"Yeah, I suppose that means your name means something like, strong and Protective over thy eggs."
"Thy eggs?"
"The people who you care about."
"Oh."
"Yeah." Hermione looked at her watch. "We have 3 hours until astronomy cause it's at 7:30 and then we have detention."
"Yay!"
"Yay?"
"I was being sarcastic!"
"I hope so! I mean I like Astronomy, it's my favorite subject but you know we have detention right after it so. Yeah."
"I know."
"OK, I'm tired!"
"Why?" "Not sure." She didn't want to tell Draco that it was probably because of her Leukemia. She would tell him later.
"Oh, ok." Hermione started to read her book again. She read about constellations and the names of stars and why they were named what they were. Draco read with her. Hermione thought of Draco as a sort of friend now, he accepted her help and laughed at her stupid jokes (ok not yet but it was getting there). When she was finished reading about the names of stars she read about the planets and how they rotate (it was half astronomy and half divination). Then she finished the whole book and let it drop shut. "Hey! I wasn't done!"
"Oh, sorry."
"I've read the book like five times anyway."
"I've read it about ten times."
"That's predictable."
"Hey!" she punched him playfully in the arm and checked her watch again. "Astronomy in ten minutes. I'm gonna fix my hair, OK?"
"Yup." Hermione got up and went up to her room. She put her hair in a ponytail in the middle of the back of her head with two strands hanging down in the front. Then she took the claw (A/N: you all know what a claw is right?) of her bedside table and put it in. The remainder of her hair flopped out over the claw. She checked her watch again. Five minutes. She put some silver eye shadow and some black mascara on. She walked back down the stairs and picked her bag up off the floor by the couch. She put her Astronomy book back in her bag and threw Draco's bag at his stomach.
"Coming?"
"Oh, yeah." He got up and flipped his bag over his shoulder. Hermione and Draco walked out of the portrait whole and hurried to the astronomy tower. It was only then that Draco realized he had a lot of classes with the Gryffindors. "Do you realize most of our classes are together?"
"Yeah I've noticed that for a while."
"Oh." They walked up the long staircase and eventually got to flat ground. Most of the other students of the two houses were there. Hermione scanned the room but she couldn't find Harry or Ron. She saw Lavender and Parvarti in a corner talking about something or other, Dean and Seamus by a wall talking about something that Hermione couldn't hear but she couldn't find Harry or Ron.
"Hey, Dean!" she called across the room. He looked up.
"Hey, Hermione!"
"You see Harry or Ron anywhere?"
"Oh yeah! They're coming! I think!"
"OK! Thanks!" Hermione turned around to see Ron and Harry reaching the top of the stair case panting. "There you are."
"Yeah, *pant* here we *pant* are." Panted Harry.
"Sit down. You guys are gonna get such a big stich one day you'll end up in the hospital wing."
"I know." Said Ron.
"Feeling OK Hermione?" asked Harry.
"I'm fine Harry! Don't worry about it, I promised you I wasn't going to die and I won't." Draco and about ten other people looked at her like 'what the hell is she on about?' "Shit! Now look what you made me do Harry. No one else knows, and I don't want them to." She leaned down to harry and whispered, "Mme. Pomfrey said to live my life as normal as possible OK? So just forget about it."
"OK." Said Harry.
"What are you talking about Hermione?" asked Draco.
"Nothing Draco. It's nothing OK."
"Since when were you to on first name terms?" asked Ron.
"Oh, Ron! You are so annoying sometimes. You are way to overprotective. Give it a rest."
"Hermione?" asked Ron.
"Sorry, I just. I dunno, maybe it's a side affect of when a witch or wizard gets it." "OK." Hermione sat down next to Ron and Draco sat next to Hermione.
"Oh, Draco! Aren't you going to sit with us?" Whinned Pansy from across the room. "Why would you sit with a Mudblood anyway?"
"Shut up Pansy!" said Draco then he whispered to Hermione. "What did you mean when you said you weren't going to die?"
"I'll tell you later." She whispered back.
"OK." He said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ OK! So it was a bit longer than I expected, but oh well. I really need some more reveiws before I put up some more chapters. I'm not sure how many people read but only a small amount reviewed. So.Yeah!
