Chapter Seven
Potions class was the usual. Snape took off points from Gryffindor for the stupidest things, like Harry's potion wasn't green enough.
"Ugh." Ron groaned as they walked out of the damp and dingy dungeons. "Same." Harry said, taking each step from the dungeons slowly. "Ugh." Ron said again. Hermionie didn't say anything. Harry looked behind him and she wasn't there. Maybe she'll catch up with us at lunch. Harry thought. "Where'd Hermionie go?" Ron asked. "Oh, I'm sure she dropped her books or something. She'll catch up." Harry answered, finally reaching the next floor, and headed toward the great hall. Then Ron suddenly stopped. "What?" Harry said. Ron shot him a scared look, "Take my stuff I'll be right back!" And Ron tossed his stuff into Harry's arms, and ran back down the staircase.

Meanwhile..
Hermionie walked with Harry and Ron toward the staircase up from the dungeons. She was walking behind them, reading over the notes she took in class. She fell a little behind. Suddenly someone grabbed her arm and drug her around a corner, some of her loose papers falling out. Next thing she knew her stuff was knocked forcefully out of her hands, spreading all over the stone floor. She tried to bend down to pick it up when someone gabbed her upper arms and slammed her painfully against the nearest wall.
"Hey Granger." Said a slimy voice. "Malfoy!" She breathed. He was very close to her, and she could feel his breath. "Get off me!" she yelled. He just slammed her against the wall again. "Shut up!" He yelled. There was a sharp pain in the back of her head, and she could feel her arms bruising. He was now kissing her neck, and she struggled against him, but he was very strong. His lips brushed against hers and she tried even harder to get him to let go. She turned her head to the side trying not to let his lips get near hers. "C'mon Hermionie." He moaned. "Don't call me that!" She yelled, throwing her head to the other side.
"Stupefy!" She heard a yell. Next thing she knew, she was looking down at Draco, lying on the floor. She looked up and saw Ron, his was outstretched, and he was radiating this heat, this hatred. "Oh my God!" Hermionie burst into tears. Ron put his wand back inside his robes. Hermionie ran toward Ron and flung her arms around his neck and caught him off guard. She sobbed into his shoulder, and he hugged her. "Shhhh." He was again caught. Harry came jumping down the stairs, flung himself around the corner and saw them. Ron looked at him. Harry looked at Ron. Ron saw Harry's eyes flicker. Harry came over and started to pat Hermione's back. "What happened?" Harry asked. Ron nudged toward Draco, who still lay on the floor. Harry looked at the sobbing Hermionie and then back at Draco. "No.." Harry said shaking his head in disbelief. Ron nodded. "I saw." He said simply. Harry, with a look of fury, took out his wand and headed toward Draco. Ron looked at him, "What are you doing?" Hermionie looked up, and wiped her face with the sleeve of her robes. She also watched Harry. He stood by the limp Draco and kicked him over with his foot, then looked up at the pair of them, with a very evil grin on his face. Hermionie still had her hand around Ron's waist, and Ron had his around hers. Ron felt Hermionie clench her fist. "What are you doing Harry?" Hermionie sniffed. Harry looked back down at Draco, still with have evil smile. Harry pointed his wand at Draco's face.
"Octepella!' He said. And then, suddenly, Draco's face was covered in octopus tentacles. Hermionie snorted with laughter. "Harry!" she said. He looked up at her, "I'm not done yet." He said maliciously. Ron smiled. Harry looked back down at Draco and tapped his chin in thought. "How about some warts to go with those tentacles?!" Harry said, "Wartic!" Harry said, and Draco's face was covered in warts. "Harry, come on." Ron said. "Nooooooot yet." Harry said without looking at them. "What now?" Hermionie said, sniffing. "Hey, you didn't teach me all those hexes last year for nothing, and I have to put them to good use! This is my chance!" Harry said, smiling at her. "Well, then, go on." She said, gesturing for him to continue. "Alright, hmmm." Ron just stood in silence, smiling. "How about, dotticuos!" He said, and Malfoy was covered in green and purple splotches. "Now he really does look slimy!" Hermionie said. Ron and her were still holding each other. "Let's get your stuff Hermionie, we don't want to be caught around here now, thanks to Harry." Ron said, moving around on the floor, picking up her stuff, and putting it back into her bag. When he got up, Hermionie and Harry were hugged. Ron made a little cough. Hermionie let go of Harry and walked toward Ron, and grabbed her stuff. "Thank you Ron." And she set her stuff down and hugged him too. The three went back upstairs, laughing at what Malfoy's reaction might be when he awoke.
