Disclaimer: Anyone who read the first three screwed up chapter knows this
already, but just for the sake of writing this: NOTHING here belongs to me
except Carley and the ~*~plot~*~
Authors note: Sorry this has taken so long for me to get up. I've been majorly busy! I'll work hard, I promise!
I also have to say thank-you to the following people:
Kyla (Ponyluvrgirl): Thank you so much for the support, and for being my beta reader/editor. You've been a huge help. Also, yes, Carley will be back, quite possibly in this chapter. And finally, thanks for the ideas! I owe you! ~*~Note: Check out her story. It rocks!
Lilyanna: I will keep writing and your right about Carley being sort of like a cross between your sister and Colin Creevy. Who knows, maybe Carley and Colin will get along. Also, thanks. I'm glad you like the plot.
For_the_shire: You're right, I'm always insane and always sugar-high. But you see, not every one has met me, so they don't know this. (. I'll be slowly fixing typo's as I find them, so don't worry.
Everyone else: You could review and make me verry happy, you know. I'm sure it wouldn't kill you.
Chapter VI: The Poision
As Draco and Hermione head twards the lake, Hermione begins to feel uneasy.
"Draco?"
"Yes, Hermione?"
"Do you feel like we're being watched?"
"Hmm. I'm not sure. I'm more intrested in the fact that your with me and not terribly unhappy."
Hermione smiled. "Actuaully, I'm very happy, except for one thing."
"And what is that?" Asked Draco.
"We have to be in potions in 15 miniutes, and It'll take almost 20 to get there!"
Draco puzzled avor this for a miniute. "Not if I show you the way I take to potions," he told her, hoping she would take him seriously.
"Which way? Could you show me?"
"Meet me in the Great Hall 5 miniutes befor potions. That should give you enough time to get your books."
"Alright," said Hermione.
The two hurried back to the castle and Hermione rushed to the Grifendore tower as Draco ran down to the dungions to collect the things that he needed for class.
Potions was due to start and exactly 9:00. At 8:55 Hermione rushed to the Great Hall and found Draco standing near the entrence, waiting for her. Her heart beat wildly, as she thought
'He wasn't kidding! We can get there in five miniutes! He'de NEVER be late to Snapes class!'
"You ready?" asked Draco, looking at Hermione, realizing how pretty she was.
"Yep," she replied, trying to keep her voice from squeeking.
'He is SO HOT!' she thought to herself as he lead her down into the dungions.
Draco lead her through a number of winding dungion paths. She smiled ever so slightly. She was alone woth Draco!
"OK here we are!"
"Thank you!" Hermione said softly as she rushed into potions.
"Don't mention it" drawled Draco as he strutted into potions just as the bell rang.
"Nice of you to join us Mister Malfoy and Miss Granger," said Snape dryly.
Both Draco and Hermione looked at the floor.
Ron started to ask why Hermione was late, but Professor Snape cut him off, in order to start the class.
"Today we will be creating antidotes and poisons. You will be working in groups. I will assign the groups." Said Snape, smiling at the groans and complaints of the class.
"Mister Potter you will be working with Mister Goyal. Mister Crabbe and Mister Weasly. I think the two of you would make a nice pair.
Snape paused happily at the unhappiness he was creating.
"Ah yes! Miss Granger...and.Mister Malfoy. I never saw a nicer couple," Snape was grinng.
'Could it have been him watching us?' wondered Hermione.
As she was deep in thought Snape assigned the rest of the pairs, which no one seemed very pleased with.
"Alright class. Copy down these ingredients for the poison and the antadote off of the board, or face two weeks of detention!"
Hermione copied down the poison ingredients and Draco wrote down the ingredients for the antidote.
"Alright class, I am assuming that you are finished copying the lists off the board. Now, take out your equipment for potion brewing and creat your poison. But be warned: if this poison is brewed incorrectly, then the antidote will fail, as will you. That is, if you live."
"Ok." began Hermione "You set up the caldren and get a fire started, and I'll begin chopping the ingreadeients."
"Ok," replied Draco.
The two worked dilagently at their tasks. After Draco had set up he helped hermione finidh grinding up wherewolf bones, the last ingredient.
"How do we make the poison?" asked Draco.
"Hmm." mused Hermione.
"Did he tell us?" he asked.
"I don't think so," replied Hermione.
Droco raised his hand and Professor Snape swished over.
"Yes, Mister Malfoy? Miss Granger?"
"Pardon our asking, sir, but how do we actuauly, you know.."
"No, I DO NOT know, Miss Granger."
"What she is trying to ask is: how do we brew the poision?"
"Thank you, Mister Malfoy. Hereare the directions," said Snape.
The professor pulled a sheet of parchment out of his robes with a overly- dramatic flurish.
"Thank you professor," said Hermione.
"Yes, thank you," added Draco, for fear Snape would lash out at him as he had at Hermione.
Draco and Hermione read over the instructions.
"Ths looks complicated," Hermione mutterd as she finished reading the page. "I hope we can do this correctly."
"So do I," said Draco, who sounded a bit scard.
"Don't worry so much. We'll get it right," said hermione as she began to add the ingredients.
Draco watched as she began the fatal concocion. As a matter-o-fact he had a 'fatal concoction' of his own in his dorm. It was all he could do to keep from siling! Hermione Elezibeth Granger would be his and his alone!
"Uh. Malfoy? You wanna take a turn stirring this so I can slowly add the last few thngs?" Hermione asked him.
"Sure.Why not," he replied. Just wait, he told himself. She'll be yours.
Draco took the large spoon from Hermione and began to stir the poision. She daintily added the beautuifly crushed lacewigs to the dark blue, smoking, brew.
As the poyion began to smaok, Malfoy removeed it from the flame.
"Well, I hope that's how it should look," ssid hermione. Their potion was the color of the midnight sky.
"Yep," said Draco. Before he had a chance to say more, Snape strutted over to them.
"So. I see you have finished your poison. Tomarrow you will be making a very simple antide, or so it seems. Everyone! Listen to me! Here are your instructions for tomarrow! You will come inand your poisions will be at the back. Find yours and come bacj to your seet. I will have left out ingredients and instructions. You will make your antidate. It may seem simple, just four ingredients. Can anyone tell me how many are in this poision?"
About twelve hands shot up.
"Mister Potter?"
"I believe it was thirty-four, sir."
"Correct, Mister Potter. The antidote might have less ingredients, but it takes preciece timing. Good Luck to you all. You will need it. Once your poision is cooled, pour it into the vile and lable it. Then place it the back of the rrom. Clean up your meeses. Wait to be dismissed."
Hermione and Draco followed all of the instructions. Ten miniutes later, just after Nevil and Blaise and finished, Snape announced that they could leave.
"Come on, Hemione," said Herry. "It's time for dinner.
Hermone left for dinner with Harry and Ron, without so much as a backword glance. Everyone else was in such a made dash to get to dinner that no one saw the hurt look on Draco's face as the one he loved left him behind.
You like? I do. Read and Review, please. I'm terribly bushy, so chapter five will take atleast a few days, but I promise to wrok as fast as I can.
