A/N: I tried, I really tried. Humor's not my forte -_-; I hope this turns out ok. I don't know how this idea came to me... it might work better if I try writing as a comic, (now there's an idea). Oh well, tell me what you think ^^
The Happy Potion
As the curtain opens, we see a dingy, cold dungeon room that is, without a doubt, the potions class room at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. Everyone's favorite, or least favorite, teacher Professor Snape, has just gotten out of his seat to begin the class.
His voice is sullen and dark.
"Today," he calls out in his quite voice of acid and slick streets, "we will be making…"
The whole class sits silently at his pause, it seems their potion for the day would be nothing less then horrible agony too painful to even speak of! All sit with bated breath.
"Happy Potions."
All the Gryffindors let out a sigh of relief and some even go so far as to snicker at Snape's fear and loathing of the dreaded Happy Potion. The Slythrines daren't say a word for fear of awakening Snape's wrath.
Even so, Snape gives a snarl at the light reaction, he hated Happy Potions, in his opinion they were the worst part of teaching this class.
"I am sure all of you have your notes from a few days ago. I expect you to all have completed a successful Happy Potion by the end of class, now get to work!" he ended with a very unhappy snarl.
It's always horridly sweet when the students begin taking the potions.
Hermione began to quickly measure out her ingredients in precise amounts, surprisingly accurate for their speed. First the potion fizzled green; after adding the next ingredient it boiled blue; when the beetles were added it sputtered yellow; with the next mix it glowed orange; with the last pinch it bubbled light pink and sent up pleasant smelling smoke in light pink curls.
Glancing over at Harry and Ron, she noticed they were still preparing their ingredients. Hermione glanced at Snape who glared at her in response; it was a specific sort of glare that told it was OK for her to test her potion. She took out a cup and scooped out some potion for testing, careful not to spill a drop. She started by taking a deep breath then drinking the potion in one gulp. It tasted like clouds, cotton balls, and slickly sweet candy.
The potion began to take effect right after she took it. Suddenly, Hermione couldn't believe, and she set the glass down hard on the table and made a half strangled noise. Then… she was fine. She down on her stool and her classmates looked away. It was odd… she felt exactly the same, had the potion worked? She slowly scanned the class room, and everything seemed fine… until she saw Malfoy.
Quite suddenly she sat up, and was temporarily possessed, at least it seemed like that to her. She quick walked over to where he was sitting with a very confused expression on his face.
Hermione bent down and gave him a hug.
She could feel him tense up under her embrace, and when she let go and looked back at him wore a completely shocked expression on his face. He tried to lash out indignantly, but only managed a weak gasp.
"What did you do that for!" was his breathless reply.
"You looked like you needed a hug," said the Hermione that was not exactly Hermione.
Possessed Hermione looked over, and then went and gave Crabbie a hug.
"You look like you've never had a hug."
She then proceeded to hug Goyle. Then she went over and gave Neville a hug, he probably needed one badly. By now the room was in shock. Hermione Granger was giving Slythrines hugs! (excluding Neville, the poor soul.)
Snape tried to say "I said make a Happy Potion not a Cheery Potion," but it was drowned out by Pansy's:
"I want a hug! I want a hug!"
So Hermione gave Pansy a hug, then she went over to give Harry and Ron a hug. Soon everyone lined up to get a hug from Hermione. I'm sure if Dumbledore saw the state of things he would have been laughing. It is a funny sight.
I believe the most memorable moment was when Hermione said "Malfoy, now you've cut in line twice, give the others a chance!"
I guess he did want a hug.
