Chapter 3- Potions
A few days later it was two nights before the Yule ball. All the girls were discussing what to where and all the guys were bragging about who they were taking. Dean and Seamus were going. Lavender and some Ravenclaw were going. Suprisingly enough Neville and Parvarti Patil were going. Ron was taking Alicia Spinnet. Fred and George were taking Angelina Johnson and Katie Bell.
"I'm the only friggin' guy without a date," Harry complained.
"Yeah well I don't have one either," Hermione said.
"Hey, I heard that Ginny doesn't have a date," Harry told her.
Hermione blushed. She and Harry had been talking alot lately and had become really close. Hermione had told Harry about liking Ginny the day after the talk about Draco. Harry had been really understanding. Hermione said that she hadn't told him because she thought he would freak. But then after finding out for sure that Harry liked Draco that it was ok. She still hadn't told Ron (Would you?). They were sitting in the common room by the fire.
"Really?" Hermione asked.
Harry nodded.
"What am I saying? I can't ask her!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Why not?" Harry asked.
"Because she'll hate me! She'll be totally freaked! She doesn't like me!" Hermione said.
"How do you know?" Harry prodded.
"Because...look at her! She's gorgeous. She has to have guys flocking all over her. And then look at me. I have stupid bushy hair and am ugly as hell, and no one even asked me to the dance," Hermione cried.
"1. You are not ugly. You're the most beautiful girl I know. 2.You could straighten your hair like 4th year. And 3. Yes Ginny has had lots of invites. But have you noticed that she turned them all down?" Harry said.
"Liar," Hermione said playfully.
"No I'm not," Harry said grinning.
Hermione smiled.
"Hey Ginny!" Harry yelled.
"What?" Ginny yelled back.
"Come over here!" Harry hollered.
"Harry no!" Hermione cried.
Ginny walked over and sat acrossed from them.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Would you like to go to the dance with Hermione?" Harry asked gesturing towards Hermione, who was looking at her feet.
Ginny grinned.
"Of course," Ginny said.
Hermione looked up.
"Really?" Hermione said suprised.
"Yes," Ginny replied.
Hermione smiled and then Ginny kissed her. Harry got up and Ginny moved next to Hermione. They started kissing again.
"I'll just leave you two love birds alone," Harry said as he walked away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^
Harry walked down to the Great Hall for dinner hoping that Draco wasn't there. He was really happy for Hermione and Ginny.
He walked through the doors and sat next to Ron. Since he walked in he had felt a pair of eyes on him. He knew who's they were but refused to look towards the Slytherin table. Instead he started talking to Ron about Quidditch.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^
At the Slytherin table Draco was staring at Harry. When he started to talk to Ron Draco felt a twinge of jealousy. He glared at Ron.
Draco didn't have a date to the dance. Of course all the girls asked him but he declined. He wanted to take Harry so bad. But he wouldn't let it happen. He didn't even know why.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^
Hermione and Ginny soon walked into the Great Hall hand in hand. Many people stared, but then Hermione kissed Ginny lightly on the cheek and people awed. Ginny smiled at the look on her brothers face. He was in complete shock. His jaw was hanging to the floor.
"What's wrong brother? Cat got your toung?" Ginny asked smirking
"What.the.HELL!" Ron screamed.
Hermione and Harry were taken back by Ron's outburst. Ginny, however was expecting this.
"'What the hell' what? Can't you take the fact that I'm with Hermione? I'm gay. So what? I like her and she likes me. Can't you just be happy for me?" Ginny asked.
By now everyone was staring. Most of them were rooting for Ginny.
"I'm trying to process all of this. You.And.Her.Together?" Ron said slowly.
"Yes,Yes,Yes,and yes," Hermione replied.
"Wow. This is going to take some time," Ron said.
"I don't care how long it takes, just don't badger us," Ginny commented.
"Ok," Ron replied.
"Good," Hermione said.
Then the two sat down. Well actually Hermione sat on the bench. Ginny sat on her.
They started kissing.
"Get a room!" Harry said.
"Whatever you say," Ginny stated and then dragged Hermione out of the Great Hall.
"To a broom closet probably," Ron said quietly to Harry.
Harry laughed. Ron was probably right. But the thought of Hermione in a broom closet just cracked him up.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The Next Morning^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Last night in the Great Hall had gotten Draco thinking. People couldn't really be that accepting. Draco knew it. But last night even some Slytherins were supporting them. He still didn't want to take the risk though. His eyes traveled around the room. The Slytherin boys' Dorm really was scary. All the dank walls. No windows. Just a few torches. His eyes then locked on the broken picture of him and Harry.
'Time for class' Draco thought, forgetting about the picture.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^
"Potions!" Ron whined.
"Why do we have to have it first thing?" Harry complained.
"Look on the bright side. I don't have it yet," Ginny said smiling.
"And at least we'll get it over with," Hermione said.
"Yeah. Whatever," Harry replied.
When they reacked th dungeons Hermione kissed Ginny goodbye and then they walked into the classroom.
"Why do we have to have it with the Slytherins?" Harry whispered to Hermione.
"It'll be fine Harry," Hermione replied.
The three took their seats and then Snape walked in to the room.
"Today you are going to be making a random potion and do a report on it. In this hat there is the name of the potion you will be making," Snape said gesturing towards the black hat.
"You will put your hand in and pick out you're potion. There are two strips of paper with the potion on it. The person with the other strip is your partner. Now everyone get in a line," Snape finished.
Ron was with Dean-healing potion. Hermione was with Seamus-switching potion(hair,eye color,etc.). Crabbe and Pansy-growing potion. Goyle and Neville-flower potion(making flowers grow instantly). And Harry was with Draco-truth potion.
"Ok now that you have your partners get to work!" Snape barked.
Draco went over to Harry and sat down.
"Ok so we need ten mandrake leaves, a busely root, three cordram stems, a cup of Garfor blood, and two Farfle claws," Draco read to Harry.
Without a word Harry got up and got the ingrediants. When he got back he set them on the table and said nothing.
"Ok lets get to work," Draco said.
They worked quietly until the end of class. They put some of the potion in a vial and Draco held onto it. Harry got up and walked out of the class room and Draco followed.
"Ok I think we should meet Tuesday, thursday and Sunday night in the library and then hand it in Monday," Draco said.
"Whatever," Harry replied and then he walked away.
'This is going to be a long week,' Draco thought.
