A stream of sunlight hitting her in the face awakened Hermione. She opened
her eyes and saw that it came from a skylight.
she thought, I She walked downstairs
into the common room. There was no sign of Draco and Pansy's presence the
night before.
She walked through a large oak
door. It leads to a large room covered in bookshelves. They ran the
length of the nine-foot ceilings. She was in heaven. Every single book
was in mint condition. There was also a large fireplace with some large,
cozy armchairs by it. She walked back out of the room; she wanted to find
the bathroom. In the next door she found a medium sized room with a large
conference table in the center. Pretty boring. She walked back into the
common room. For the first time she really took a good look around. The
room was shaped like an oval. on one of the tapered ends were all of the
doors, on the other was a large fireplace. There were numerous couches and
armchairs around it, including the one Draco and Pansy had ... on.
Hermione walked though the last door. It was unbelievable. The entire
bathroom was marble. There was a small section where there were two large
showers, all frosted glass. There was a swimming pool sized bathtub sunk
into the floor, with hundreds of taps surrounding it. In one corner was a
mountain of towels. Along the long wall was a large counter with two sinks.
Hermione's stuff was arranged around one, and Draco's around the other.
Hermione grabbed a towel and placed it on the floor in front of one of the
showers. She then got in. It was the perfect temperature, exactly what
she wanted. When she was done she got out and wrapped the towel around her
body, and just in time. Draco walked in at just this moment. He quickly
looked away and grabbed his own towel. Hermione set to work getting ready.
She straightened her hair, and turned it blonde. She also let it down.
Draco got out of the shower and began getting ready himself, just as
Hermione finished her make-up. She walked back upstairs and into her
large, walk-in closet. She found wear all of her uniforms had been hung,
and picked one. She quickly got dressed, fixed her lip-gloss, grabbed her
book bag, and walked downstairs.

Hermione walked into the great hall to see that everyone was already there. She quickly went and sat next to Lavender, and across from Pavarti. 'So how was night number one?' asked Pavarti. 'OK, I guess, I walked in on him and Pansy...you know...but after that I never spoke to him.' Answered Hermione 'Well that's not bad' said Lavender 'Lets talk about something else.' Said Hermione, changing the subject, 'What subjects do we have today?' 'Ummm, We have Charms, Transfigurations and then I have double Divination' replied Lavender 'Alright, I think I have Potions in the afternoon.' answered Hermione. She finished the piece of toast she was eating. Suddenly owls filled the air. 'Posts here!' someone called from further down the table. A large, tawny owl landed in front of Hermione. She quickly took the letter from it, and fed it a piece of bacon. She opened the letter, which said:
Dear Hermione Granger,
There will be a meeting this Friday concerning the Halloween ball in October. Please attend and make sure all of the prefects do.
Your Truly, Professor M. McGonagall
Hermione glanced over at the Slytherin table and saw that Draco was reading a similar letter. Suddenly it struck her. I 'What is it' asked Pavarti, seeing the look of unhappiness on Hermione's face 'I...I have a date with Wyatt on Friday.' Answered Hermione 'Oh my Gosh!' squealed Lavender. 'YAY!' cheered Pavarti 'But I have a meeting that night.' Said Hermione, cutting them off. 'Oh...no!' said Pavarti, 'don't worry. We'll think of something.' Suddenly Harry and Ron joined them, Harry sitting beside Hermione and Ron beside Pavarti. He slid his arm around her waist, and she snuggled next to him. 'What's up?' asked Harry, running his hand through his jet-black hair. 'Hermione has a boyfriend' said Lavender in a singsong voice. 'Lav!' she said, hitting her lightly in the back of the head. 'Who?' asked Harry, inquisitively? 'Wyatt' answered Pavarti 'Cool' said Harry, 'he really knows his quidditch' 'Yah...like we care' said Lavender 'Whoa!' said Ron, interrupting. He looked at his watch,' We have to get to class.' With that the five friends got up and walked to charms
*
'Today class' began professor Flitwick 'we will be learning the opposite of the stupefy jinx. We will be learning how to reverse its effects with a spell called ennervate. While stupefy is very simple to perform, its counter is quite complex. Now could I have a volunteer from the class so I can demonstrate the spell? Don't worry, it was no after-effects.' Suddenly Harry had grabbed Ron's arm from behind and thrust it upwards. 'Ah, Mr. Weasley' said Professor Flitwick, 'come to the front of the class then...come on, no need to worry.' Ron reluctantly sauntered up to the front of the class. 'Watch carefully class as I first stupefy him, and then return him to normal' said the Professor. He turned to face Ron, wand at the ready. 'stupefy!' he commanded and Ron was immediately thrown backwards, landing in a pile of pillows. He was now unconscious. 'Now I will perform the counter-spell' said Professor Flitwick and he turned to face Ron once again. 'Enervate!' He said, and Ron immediately opened his eyes, as though he had merely been asleep. 'Whoa' he muttered, 'didn't feel a thing' 'You see class' said Professor Flitwick, 'he is so recovered he has no memory of being caused pain. 15 points to Gryffindor, good work Mr. Weasley. The class spent the rest of the class practicing the counter- spell. However, Hermione was the only one who could do it properly and so most people were feeling slightly dazed. Harry kept slipping in and out of consciousness, as Ron was not very adept at the spell. Finally the bell rang and everyone left, Professor Flitwick assigned them no homework as he figured they would all be very tired for the rest of the day.
*
'Hurry up class, lots to do, some along then' said Professor McGonagall, ushering the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students into her class. Hermione sat near the back of the room next to Wyatt, who kept smiling at her. 'This year' said Professor McGonagall, 'we will be studying the precise art of temporarily transforming ourselves into animals. 'Do you mean becoming an anamagi?' asked Hermione, who had put her hand up. McGonagall opened her mouth to speak but Wyatt interrupted her: 'I believe the Professor is talking about the Yasofatin spell, which transforms the witch or wizard into a desired animal for a set amount of time.' 'Correct' said McGonagall, dumbfounded, '10 points to Ravenclaw' Everyone turned and stared at him, no one ever got something right that Hermione didn't know. Hermione turned pink, and Wyatt just smiled. 'Sorry' he whispered to hermione once the Professor began speaking again. 'Its fine' said Hermione, 'How did you-' '|Magical Transformations and Charms|' Wyatt, 'It's a textbook in Beauxbatons, that's where my sister goes.' 'Oh' said hermione, that's cool, I've heard its quite the prestigious school' 'It is' answered Wyatt, 'But I wanted to go to something a little less...you know, so I came here.' thought Hermione 'If your done flirting.' said Professor McGonagall, and all of the girls giggled,' could you please repeat what I just said'? 'Oh' answered Hermione, stunned, 'um...you were explaining...um...how...to...um' 'That's what I thought' said the professor, ten points from both Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. If you expect to get a NEWT in my class you should pay much more attention.' Wyatt, however seemed to have had enough of this harassment and he stood up 'Professor' he began, 'If I could' He did no, though, wait for an answer. Instead he pointed his wand at himself: 'Yasofa Lupis!' he called, and immediately he had transformed into a rabbit. In a few seconds he returned to his regular self, he had obviously not set the time for very long. 'I can also do a wolf and a whale, if you wish to see' said Wyatt, hiding a grin. 'Umm...ten points to Ravenclaw, good work Mr. Matthews. Class, you would do well to take a lesson from Wyatt here.' 'You mean flirting with Hermione,' muttered Ron, but everyone, including Professor McGonagall heard. 'Ten points from Gryffindor' she said 'unless of course, you can do the spell Mr. Weasley.' She hid a grin as she said this to a dumbstruck Ron.
*
'You have to teach me how to do that' said Hermione, who was still amazed by Wyatt's performance in transfigurations. 'Its really quite simple' he muttered, flashing a grin. Behind them, and out of earshot, could be heard Ron muttering: 'Showoff' 'I'll see you later' said Hermione, and without thinking leaned in and kissed Wyatt. She quickly pulled back, turning deep red. Wyatt leaned in and kissed her again, however, to hide her embarrassment. They kissed passionately for a few seconds before pulling away. 'I'll see you' said Wyatt. Hermione seemed to float over to the Gryffindor table, and barely heard anyone during lunch. She was unfortunately brought back to earth with Harry saying: 'C'mon 'mione, we have potions' 'HaHa!' laughed Ron, 'you two have potions and I don't!' 'You have divinations' said Harry, 'How is that any better?' 'Oh Harry,' said Hermione, dramatically, 'You know he's only taking it because Pavarti is.' With that comment Ron turned beat red and sped off for class. Hermione had just turned around to face Harry when, out of nowhere, Pansy Parkinson ploughed past Hermione, knocking her aside. Hermione was about to say something sharp when she noticed Pansy was crying. Pansy had taken off for the girl's washroom. Harry motioned over to the Slytherin table and Hermione looked over to see Draco Malfoy. He was staring straight ahead with a blank look in his eyes. He looked on the verge of tears, but angry at the same time. 'I bet they broke up' whispered Hermione. 'Why do we care?' asked Harry, 'We have enough to worry about with another year of NEWT potions.' 'I know' said Hermione, 'We barely passed last year, and we have to work really har-' 'Hermione' said Harry, waving a hand in front of her face, 'you got an O, I'm the one who just barely scraped and A.' 'Well...I still...you know. C'mon, it won't matter if we're both late.' With that they both took off for the dungeons.
*
If there was one good thing about potions now it was Snape's change in mood towards Malfoy. Although he still hated Harry, he now had a strong dislike for Draco. This mainly due to the fact that Draco's father was now a well known death eater and he had no power, so it would not do anyone any good to suck up to him or his son. Hermione and Harry took their seats just as the bell rang. Professor Snape gave them a venomous look before beginning. 'This year' he began 'we have a lot of new potions to cover before you are ready for your NEWT exams in June. Now I am not going to bore you all with a long, exhausting lecture, so instead I will set you to work.' He waved his wand at the blackboard and a list of ingredients and instructions appeared. Harry immediately set to work on his lighter than air potion. It made the drinker able to float around in the air for short periods. Harry began carefully shopping his bats' wing. He glanced over at where Draco was working and noticed he was absent-mindedly chopping his ingredients in a hap hazardous way, still staring into space. Harry finally added his last ingredient, 3.2mL of armadillo bile. He ladled some into a phial and handed it in to Professor Snape. He was quite confident it would be fine. He glanced over at Malfoy's and saw, to his delight, that his was a florescent green, not the dull blue it should be. He walked out of class and met up with Hermione in the hallway. 'Well that went well' she said, breathing a sigh of relief. 'I wonder what's wrong with Malfoy.' Harry thought out loud, 'I told you, it's probably that he broke up with Pansy.' 'Right' said Harry. With that they walked off to the great hall for supper, thinking nothing of it.
*
'So how was divinations?' Hermione asked Pavarti and Lavender. 'It was great' Lavender answered, 'Professor Trelawney predicted we would both get O's on our NEWT exams.' Hermione snorted into her steak filet. 'What?!' asked Lavender, rolling her eyes 'Well she is the one who marks the tests.' Said Hermione 'But its not like she can cheat or anything.' Said Pavarti, 'honestly Hermione can't you just respect that we enjoy a subject?' 'I think she is just jealous that we're better than she is in something' Lavender said to Pavarti, ignoring Hermione. 'I agree' said Pavarti, 'C'mon Lav, let's go.' With that they both picked up their book bags and left. 'Come back' Hermione called after them, but they ignored her and kept walking. 'Hi 'mione' said Ron, sitting down beside her. 'Hey' she muttered, 'How was divinations?' 'A joke, as usual' said Ron, 'you wouldn't have happened to see Pavarti, have you.' 'Typical' muttered Hermione, and she too picked up her books and left. 'What did I say?' Ron asked Harry 'Who knows' he answered, 'She's just being a girl.'
*
Hermione walked out of the great hall, slightly peeved. It was so typical of Ron to be thinking of nothing but a girl. It seemed like all guys were like that, except Wyatt. She fell into a dreamy state as she walked to her common room, thinking of him. She didn't even know she had arrived until she walked into the door. 'Stupid thing!' she yelled, 'What a retarded door'. Hermione suddenly came to her senses, realizing it was not the door's fault. She muttered the password and walked inside. She was surprised to see Draco sitting on one of the couches by the fireplace. He was holding a book, upside-down, and was staring at the wall. 'Are you all right?' Hermione asked, though she wasn't really sure why. 'Bite me!' he snapped, 'You stupid mudblood, think you know everything.' Hermione turned cold at that remark. 'Fine then' she said, 'just sit around a grope, kill yourself if you want, I don't care'. Draco slammed his book shut and stormed up to his dormitory. Hermione shoved any thought of him out of her mind. She went and sat down at another couch working on her homework. When Hermione had completed her transfiguration essay, she stood up to stretch. Glancing around the room she saw something that surprised her. Draco's diary had been shoved between two couch cushions, forgotten. she said to herself, Unfortunately, a part of her that had spent the past 6 years with two guys won over, and she walked over a picked it up. The latch was undone, so no protective spells would be in effect. She quickly flipped to the last few pages, and almost fell over at what she read.
I met with Pansy today, like she said she wanted to. I couldn't believe what she told me. She was pregnant. I think she said she was like 4 months along, from last year, but I wasn't really listening. I can't believe I am going to be a father. My father will kill me and I am not ready. I think she is mad at me, but she can't have expected me to take this lightly. I don't know what to do.
Hermione stopped there, shocked. No wonder Draco was so freaked out. She couldn't believe it, and she hadn't noticed that someone had come up behind her. 'What did you read?' he hissed, his wand pointed right at the base of Hermione's neck. 'Nothing, I...err...was going to...give this...to...you...' 'Liar' he hissed again, 'If you tell anyone, I swear I will kill you, I swear!' 'Alright' hermione answered, sure that he didn't really want to hurt her, he was just afraid, 'I won't tell anyone.' 'Good' he answered, and he snatched the diary from hermione and stalked back up to he dormitory, leaving Hermione standing there.
