only I was that brilliant!
Hermione raced up to the Gryffindor Common room, uttering the password to the lady in the portrait. She waited for it to open and clambered through just as Harry and Ron flew around the corner.
"Hermione! Wait up a second!" Ron called. The portrait swung shut.
"Password please?"
"Elmaera Torvino." Harry said and the portrait opened. They ran in, and Hermione was nowhere to be seen. The portrait swung open once more and Ginny entered.
"What's going on? Where'd Hermione go?"
"Up to her room. Crabbe said something nasty and now she's gone and got herself upset again," Harry said. "Can you tell her to come down here?"
"Alright." Ginny left the common room and went up the staircase towards the girl's dorms. She went into the sixth years room and sat down on Hermione's bed.
"Please go away," Hermione muffled in her pillow. Ginny sighed and patted Hermione's back.
"Come on Hermione. Harry and Ron are worried about you. They're sitting downstairs waiting."
"I don't want to see them," she said, sitting up. Her face was streaked with tears and her eyes were red and puffy.
"Yes you do. Let's go." She said, tugging her friend to her feet. Hermione wiped her eyes followed Ginny down the stairs. Harry and Ron were still the only ones in the Common Room.
"Are you alright Hermione?" Ron asked.
"Yes, I'm. I'm fine."
"Are you positive?"
"Positive. Now we better go or we'll be late to Double Potions." Ron groaned.
"That's just wonderful. Now we have to go see those bloody monsters."
They entered the cold classroom of potions and sat in their seats, waiting for the torture to begin. In his corner of the room sat Malfoy with all his friends around him. Hermione glanced over quickly, just as Draco turned and looked at her. She flushed slightly and turned back to her work. Draco continued to stare until someone noticed.
"What ya looking at Draco?"
"Nothing much," he sneered. They all laughed and he felt a slight twinge of regret. 'What's happening to me? First the dream, and now I feel bad for her?' He thought turning his attention to the front as Professor Snape walked in.
"That's enough. Take out your cauldrons. Today we will work on a love potion." Someone in the room giggled.
"Excuse me? Do you mind sharing that with the class?"
"No Professor Snape." A Gryffindor squeaked from the back of the room.
"Alright then. Your ingredients are listed on the board. I want you to write down the directions and once that's down, you may begin," He said, tapping the board. Everyone began to write furiously. "Just quick word before you pair off, if this potion goes wrong, it will not bring love and harmony, but rather all chaos. So, if you don't pair yourselves off, I will be forced to. Continue." He said, and sat down at his desk, writing.
Hermione finished working and walked over to Neville Longbottom. "I'll work with you today Neville," she said politely. He looked up at her with relief.
"Oh thank you so much Hermione. But I'm still probably going to mess up."
"Nonsense. I'll do the work." Hermione put he things next to him and collected the items, starting to prepare the potion. Snape looked up and frowned.
"Ms. Granger, why don't you go work with someone else."
"That's alright Professor."
"No. I don't want you doing all the work. That wouldn't teach Mr. Longbottom anything, now would it?"
"But Professor-"
"Malfoy. You work with Ms. Granger." He said. Hermione turned to look, with horror on her face. Malfoy couldn't help but sneer.
"Work with that Mudblood?"
"Draco! That's enough. Goyle, you work with Longbottom. Switch!" He yelled. Hermione looked at the whimpering Neville and sighed.
"I'm sorry Neville."
"You couldn't help it."
Hermione grabbed her thing and moved over to Draco, he was glaring at her.
"I don't like this any better than you. So just don't talk and let's get this done." She said, plopping the stuff onto the table.
"Fine by me," he agreed. When she sat down he couldn't help but notice the lovely perfume she must have been wearing and he stared at her flowing hair. She felt his eyes on her head and turned abruptly. He flushed and looked down at his parchment.
"What?" She asked roughly.
"Nothing," he muttered. They got to work on the potion.
Halfway through the class Draco looked up. "Er, Hermione?"
"Yes?"
"Look, I'm really sorry about this morning. They went over board with what they said. I didn't think they would say something like that."
Hermione stared at him in surprise. "Thank you," she whispered. He flushed and turned back to the cauldron beginning to bubble in front of him.
Class ended and everyone gathered their things, brining the labeled potions up to Professor Snape. Everyone's seemed to be various shade of gold except for Neville and Goyle's. Theirs was a dark brown. Snape frowned when he saw it and dismissed everyone.
Hermione started walking away from her group of friends. "I have to go the library. I'll meet you later in the common room." She said. They nodded and headed off to eat. Draco who had been walking behind her started to follow after her.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Crabbed asked.
"I uh, have to return a book to the library." He said, and took off. Crabbed and Goyle shrugged, walking towards the Great Hall.
"He's acting very strange."
"Maybe he's sick."
"Yeah. Probably. Let's go eat. I'm starving."
Okay, there's chapter two!! Thanks for reading my first one, and I hope you like this one too!!
