Distance

Not Falling

After reading an unusually long chapter in transfiguration, the time tone rang and they all shuffled out of the room and made there way down to the dungeons for the hated class of potions. But there was something different, there were windows, and things weren't in jars on shelves, and it actually smelled quite nice and looked comfortable.

Hermione and Ron picked a seat in the middle then sat down anticipating the new Snape, or something, to their surprise a young witch walked in with beautiful long black robes and long black hair to match, she had deep violet eyes, and perfectly done nails, she didn't look old at all, no more then 20.

She smiled at the classroom then took a seat at the head desk. "Welcome to your final year of Potions, I am Professor Hart, I will be filling in for Professor Snape until he returns, do not ask questions of his whereabouts, because I know none." She stood up and walked to the head of the classroom, and stared at them all, Hermione noticed her eyes flicker when they landed on Draco, and then again when they landed on her.

 "I see I have both Head students in this classroom, I expect this time together with you two to be exciting." She smiled again then covered her head with her robe and took them off again and everyone gasped, she had turned hideous, wrinkles all over her face and hands and her hair was ratty and her nails were yellow and she had fangs, Hermione just sat there unmoved, Professor Hart stalked over to her, "Why don't you flinch girl?" she said in a raspy voice, "I knew what you were from the beginning," Hermione said, Hart turned back into the beautiful woman once again and looked at Hermione, "So, I see one of us has read the book over a few times over the summer break, excellent, 10 points to Gryffindor," Ron looked scared out of his mind but smiled.

 "Now, do not be alarmed, but yes I am a vampire, but not a blood sucking crazy one, I can control myself." She said then took the Potions book off her desk and flicked a few pages, "Please open your books to page 437 chapter 29 on vampires please," there was a rustle of pages as everyone turned to the page, and a rip from Neville's book, he was still skittish and had tore a page turning it.

"Ok, now I would like you all to read the first section of the chapter on write a foot of parchment on it." She said then went to her desk and did attendance; she didn't say any names just looked up. Ron was mostly staring at Professor Hart, you couldn't blame him mostly all the guys in the classroom were, she was gorgeous.

The bell rang and everyone shuffled out to lunch talking about Professor Hart, Neville tripped a few times on his way to lunch. Hermione didn't eat much she took a half of a sandwich and left for the hospital wing to see Ginny.

She was sitting up in her bed eating soup, "Hey Mia!" she said when Hermione walked in, she ran to her and hugged her, "Ginny, you scared me so much, how are you?" Hermione sat at the end of the bed looking at Ginny, "Well the first day I woke up here and I got scared for a second, like I didn't remember what I did or what happened, then Madam Pomfrey came in and explained all that Draco and you had told her, and I cried, why did I do it? You know? I don't even know, it just seemed like the right thing to do, but I promise I wont ever do it again." She finished with tears in her eyes. Hermione was crying too, she got up and hugged her and they sat there in the hug, both of them crying silently into each other's shoulders.

Hermione left after explaining to Ginny about Chanel, and Madam Pomfrey came in after a half an hour and shooed Hermione out telling them both that Ginny will be out tomorrow in time for classes.

Hermione walked back to the common room, Amberle was walking picking flowers, she looked up and smiled at Hermione, she said the password and walked in, Draco was on the couch sitting Indian style doing the potions essay, she waved her arms to push him over to sit, he didn't even look up he just moved over and continued writing, she sat down with him and started her essay to. So maybe Draco wasn't all that bad.

Really sorry people, grounding sucks
