Chapter 2 Giant Squids and Schizo Squirrels

Disclaimer: Once again, we don't own Harry Potter. We do own the schizophrenic squirrels. We also don't own the song You're So Vain. That is owned by the wonderful and brilliant Carly Simon, just as J.K.R. owns HP

A/N: in the last chapter, there was a mistake. Hermione does slap Draco in the third book. Please forgive us. We both missed that small mistake, although we've both read the books numerous times.

A/N: No squirrels were harmed in the making of this fanfiction.

Hermione awoke to see Draco's cool, grey eyes staring down at her.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I...saw...Ron...and... "Hermione started to say

"Oh never mind I don't want to see you so upset."

SLAP!

"Hehehehehe" Ron giggled,.

"WHAT THE DUCK?!?!?!" Draco exclaimed. "I'll deal with you later, you bloody idiot!"

Draco then began to take Hermione to the hospital wing.

She awoke later and walked out onto the grounds, where Draco was sitting on the steps.

"Draco?" she said as she stumbled toward him. "What happened with Ron?" she asked.

"Nothing *cough*." The cough sounded something like squid. The giant squid crunched something in its mouth.

"Where is he?" she questioned.

" Swimming? *cough cough*"

"I have to talk to him."

With that she began to walk toward the lake

"Um he's busy.... with Cho." Draco said as he ran to keep up with her.

"CHO?" Hermione almost screamed. "I'm gonna be in therapy when I'm 30!!!!!" she yelled

Draco chuckled at this. He heard the squid cough something up

"Riiiiiiiiiiiigt," Hermione said.

"Come on," Draco said, dragging her to the lake

"Umm ok?" she replied.

When they got there all they saw was a wand and a chunk of red hair.

"Alright then!" Hermione said, surprised.

"Well, we must be off to our classes," he said, but as they walked toward the castle, they saw squirrels huddled around something. The were petting it and being nice to it, then they would viciously tear at it.

"Uck schizophrenic schizophrenic," Hermione rolled her eyes."Where's Cho?"

"Uh don't know" Draco answered. He walked of sing something to the tune of You're So

Vain that kinda sounded like "You're insane, you

probably think a squirrels gonna eat you, You're

insane. I bet you think a squirrels gonna eat you,

don't you don't you." And that's when Hermione noticed that the squirrels were tearing at Cho's body. She must have jumped off of the divination tower, Hermione thought.

"well then... off to class hehheh, "she chuckled nervously. She had potions next so she met up with Draco on the way. Harry was close behind.

"You seen Ron?" he asked.

"Here and there," Hermione said. Harry had no idea she meant literally.

"Umm ok," Harry said a little confused. "I need to talk to you after class," he said.

"All right," by then she had parted with Draco----I mean Malfoy!

Potions went as they normally did,. Snape complained, Neville screwed up, Harry lost Gryffindor points. The only thing different was that Draco didn't sneer every time Hermione raised her hand. Harry was the one that noticed this. What is going on? he thought.

"Class dismissed!" Snape yelled across all the talking.

Hermione caught up with Harry after potions.

"Hermione did you notice Malfoy staring at you during class?" Harry asked.

"Umm no? Why?"

"Well he was!" Harry stated, kind of angrily.

"Why does that bother you?" she asked.

"It uhh....., doesn't but......it's kind of odd, dontcha think?"

"I don't really care," she replied.

"Ron would. Where is he?" Harry asked, as he hadn't seen him all day.

"Well, I think Ron is uh kinda preoccupied. He's 'researching digestive juices.'"

"Um...why?"

"He... just is. And Cho is researching schizo squirrels."

"Ok...we have to go to lunch...although I'm not that hungry anymore."

"Herm, I need to talk to you in private. Meet me in the common room at midnight. I'm usually up then ...and so are you!"

"Ok, so tonight at midnight."

"Umm ya"

*midnight in the common room*

"I'm gonna blind fold you," Harry said.

"Ummmm...why?"

"Cuz, you'll see."

"How can I see if I'm blindfolded?"

"Good point."

"They climbed up many flights of steps. They stopped. Harry took the blindfold off, and Hermione almost fainted (nasty habit of hers, eh?).
