How Far Would You Go?

         Hermione walked down to the Great Hall, fully dresses, with her books in her hand. Trying to forget about last night, she had a huge smile on her face as she approached the Gryfindor table. She even ignored the nasty smirk coming from Draco's face. She sat down next to Harry and across from Ron. "Good morning. How did you sleep?"

         Ron looked over at her with a tried expression, "Apparently not long enough." Their breakfast appeared on the table in front of them. Ron grabbed himself a breakfast roll and buttered it right away. "Food!"

         Harry chuckled under his breath. He sat back and looked back and forth between Hermione and Ron. He knew that they liked each other. He didn't under stand why Ron was so intimidated by her. 'He should just ask her to the next Hogsmeade trip."

         "Not eating Harry?" Hermione interrupted his thoughts. "It's your first day back, you're going to need your strength.

         "I'm not hungry." Harry said. Hermione eyed him suspiciously.

         "Harry, you don't have a quittich game today.  Tell me what's wrong?" Harry looked away. "Harry. Something's wrong, please tell me. You know you can trust me."

         "I know." Harry said, slowly looking back at her. "It's just… I have quittich practice tonight. And, and well, I've been elected captain. I have no idea what to do."

         Hermione put her fork down. "Ish dat all?" Hermione said, and swallowed her toast. "Harry! Congratulations, but why are you so nervous? You're the best player on the team. You have nothing to worry about. You'll do fine Harry. I know it."

         Harry smiled. "Yeah." He said reaching for a roll. "Your right. I have nothing to worry about at all."

         Hermione headed down to Advanced Potions with the Slytherins. She walked in and took a seat in the front of the class. She was so excited to be back in school. She smiled at Snape who gave the slightest hint of a smile back at her. She opened her Advanced Potions book and turned to page 4, as the board in front of her had said. Just as she had started to skim through the chapter, none other then Draco Malfoy came and sat down next to her. He smiled at her and put his arm around her. "Hey babe! I missed you this morning. You slept so late."

         Hermione picked up her things and picked out another seat next to Parvati and Lavender. Draco went over to their table and sat down next to Hermione. "Malfoy! Leave me alone! You're not funny. Just call me a mudblood and get on with you're life. I don't want to play these stupid games with you!"

         Snape was now glaring at Hermione. Everyone's eyes were on her. "Ms. Granger. I believe that class has begun. That will be 10 points from Gryfindor. Now, back to the lesson. This year we will be studying some of the most difficult potions there are.  Some deadly. You will be testing your own potions from now on, so if there is a mistake, you will pay for it." Snape smirked at Neville. "Mr. Longbottom. Perhaps you are in the wrong class. This is Advanced Potions."

         Neville was terrified. "N-no sir. I… Professor Dumbledore thought it best for me t-to be able to detect d-deadly potions. A-after what to my parents and all."

         Snape did not seem amused. "Well, I will just have to have a little chat with Professor Dumbledore then."

         At the end of class, Hermione waited outside the Potions classroom. She knew that Harry and Ron had Potions next and she wanted to say hello. "Baby, why didn't you want to sit next to me in class today?"

         Hermione looked up to see Draco standing beside her. She turned her head, determined to ignore him. "You can ignore me all you want. I know that deep down you still love me." He kissed her cheek again and left.

         She rubbed her cheek and walked down to Advanced Charms, walking straight passed Ron and Harry without so much as a smile.
