Chapter 1: The Deep Sleep

Hermione was daydreaming in Potions again. She hadn't been able to focus for a long time. She had just broken up with Viktor and her mind kept wandering.
Perhaps Miss Granger could tell us, Snape's voice interuppted her thoughts, Or, is the window too facinating? The Slytherin side of the dungeon snickered. Draco winked and licked his lips seductively. Hermione glared at him before answering.
The Sleeping Draft contains one root of monkswood and ground porcupine quills added after the potion boiled for ten minutes. Then you add the sliced mandrake root and snake skin. Let sit for thrity minutes and take it off the heat. Cheers. She finished rather quickly and beamed at the response of laughter from the students at her smart-ass comment. Snape glared, obviously dissapointed in not being able to deduct any points.
Well, you heard her! Begin your potions! he barked. Hermione was working with Ron and Harry with Draco. All of whom, though she had absolutely no idea, had the major hots for her.
So Ron asked inching closer, how exactly do we do this?
You know perfectly well, Ron, she retorted, now please give me some space so that I may properly slice the mandrake root. Ron then backed away about a centimeter. Hermione glared.
S'amatter, Mione? Am I not sexy enough for you? Ron gave her the puppy dog eyes', Do I not turn you on?
You couldn't turn me on if you were the last person on the planet. She retorted, still slicing. She then put her forehead on his and said, Because, there would still be sheep. She then calmly went back to her slicing and ignored the uproar of laughter erupting from behind them.
So, Weasley, a new low, Draco added after he finally stopped laughing, you've been demoted to below sheep level' Harry and Draco then erupted in gaffaws once more. Ron's face turned bright red, it clashed horribly with his hair. All of them had developed quite nicely in the past year. Hermione had filled out nicely at the top and had as many hormones as the others. The boys had all grown considerably and become much more muscular, due to much Quidditch practice. One more thing had changed though, hormones. More active than ever, all three boys had constant hard-ons just thinking about Hermione. However, she had no feelings toward them whatsoever. Or so she thought.
The three guys hit on her constantly during the rest of the potions class. Hermione coming up with clever retorts to shoot down each one.
Alright. The potions should be done. Snape stood from his desk. Who can tell me the cure for the Sleeping Draft? For the one we have made is so powerful, there is only one way to cure it. Hermione's hand pierced the air as it shot straight up. Snape ignored it, as usual. He only called on her when she wasn't paying attention. Mr. Malfoy? Potter? Weasley? Longbottom? They all remained silent. Very well. Miss Granger? Snape said dully, admitting his defeat.
True love's first kiss. She said matter-of-factly. The entire class filled with whispers and gossip.
THAT IS CORRECT, MISS GRANGER. Snape yelled over the murmurs. And, uh, fivepointstogryffindor. And even though he said it quietly, Hermione beamed as she claimed defeat over Snape for the day.

***********

Snape, however, does not give up that easily. At dinner that evening, he slipped a drop of the Sleeping Draft into Hermione's drink (BAD SNAPE! i know hes really not THAT evil...but i gotta get her asleep somehow!). He then snuck off with no one the wiser. And as Hermione took one small sip, she fell into Ron's lap. If she was awake, she would have been all too aware of the hardened, large bulge under his robes, but she was out cold.
Ron whispered urgently, I think Mione's dead!
