A/N- Heyerz. I've been trying to update a little more quickly since I'm not finding any new, suprisingly great stories. But, hey! Everyone should read stories by TFG, especially the "A Hermione Story" ones. They rock. Okay… Done with this.

Disclaimer- What do you think I own?

Hermione went to her room, and took her hair out of the bun she had it in, and brushed it gently. She then took out light purple eyeshadow and applied it to her eyes, and put a pink tinted lipgloss on.

'That took a short amount of time' Hermione thought.

Chapter 7: Truth Potion

"Okay everybody, listen carefully because I do not feel like repeating myself. Today we are going to work on a Truth Potion. The ingredients are the following…" Professor Snape started.

Hermione, Harry and Ron were sitting next to each other at their potions table, in the dungeon, lit by floating candles, under the castle.

"Psst, Ron, wh-" Harry started to whisper.

"Be quiet, Harry… I'm trying to listen."

"Hermione, please, you know everything he's saying by heart, plus I wasn't talking to you."

"You should be paying attention anyway."

Harry sighed and turned back to listen to Snape.

"Now I will be pairing you into partners… Goyle and Harry, Crabbe and Ron, Hermione and Seamus, Draco and Neville, Lavender and Parvati…" Professor Snape started.

Hermione started to gather her things to move to the seat next to Seamus Finnigan.

"Everyone sit next to your partners now. You have 30 minutes to do this." Snape announced.

Hermione went over to Seamus and put everything down.

Seamus started to cut up the spider legs to mush, as Snape told it to be. (A/N- I don't know the ingredients for a Truth Potion… So go along with me…)

Hermione poured some liquid into the cauldron and… POOF!

Everyone looked around and found where the explosion had come from. Neville had accidentally spilled something into his and Draco's cauldron and, yes, it blew up.

Neville blushed furiously. Draco just looked extremely mad, and exploded.

"I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL! I SAID WATCH OUT, YOUR GUNNA KNOCK IT IN, AND YOU SAY 'Oh no, it won't fall in.' AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED YOU LITTLE IDIOT! YOU MADE IT BL-"

"Mr. Malfoy, calm down. I'm sure Neville got the point."

"Oww…" Neville was in pain.

"Go to the Hospital Wing, and tell Madam Pomfrey what happened, and you can stay there as long as you need to." Snape told Neville, as Neville got up and slowly walked out of the door.

"Mr. Malfoy, you can work with Mr. Finnigan and Ms. Granger for now."

Draco got up with his seat and placed it down at the table, sitting on it.

"How far are you guys?" Draco asked.

"-And girl." Hermione finished unexpectedly.

"How far are you Finnigan? Gra-" Draco saw Hermione looking at him with a face saying "Go ahead, I dare you to call me 'Granger.'"

"-Uh… Hermione." He finished.

"All we have to do now is stir the potion." Seamus stated.

"Great, since I didn't do anything in this group since I just got here… I'll stir." Draco said.

"Okay." Hermione said simply.

"Uh, Hermione the potion is starting to turn clear…" An unsure Draco said.

"Yeah… Your point?" Hermione asked.

"Is it SUPPOSED to be clear?"

"Obviously, haven't you ever seen one before?"

"Of course I have, pure-bloods see everything." Draco said matter-of-factly.

"Whatever." Said Hermione rolling her eyes.

"Time is up now, everyone will have to pour the potion in cups and drink it. Then the partner can question the other partner." Snape announced. "One person from each group come up and get one."

Hermione stood up for her group and got 3 cups. She went back to the table and placed a cup in front of each of them.

"Who wants to go first?" Seamus asked.

Nobody answered.

"Okay then… I guess I'll go." He offered.

Hermione took a spoon and dipped it in the potion. She took the spoon and poured the potion from it, into Seamus's cup.

Seamus looked down at the potion in his cup uneasily.

"Here goes nothing." And he swallowed it.

Draco went first. "Tell me what you think about Hermione and then tell me what you think about me."

"Well I think Hermione is a very beautiful person, and she's great to be around. She's also very helpful, she doesn't really seem like she cares what people think about her, and-"

Hermione blushed at everything he said. She was a bright pinkish color now.

"Okay, okay, that's enough, now what do you think about me?" Draco asked.

"You are a stuck-up person, and only care about your looks. You seem like you can be nicer, but you don't want to." Seamus answered.

(A/N- I don't know if there's like a stop to the potion or anything but…)

"Okay, he needs to take the potion to stop him from telling too much truth." Hermione laughed.

"Yes he does." Draco said stubbornly. "Go to Snape's desk, Seamus."

"Draco, your turn."

"Why me?"

"Because."

"Because why?" Draco questioned.

"Because."

Draco stared at her, seeing that she'll just keep saying because, and said, "Fine."

A/N- I'm literally falling asleep on my keyboard. The one day I don't have school the next morning on a weekday between school days, I happen to get tired at 12:08 AM, how fair is that? *Sighs* Whatever. This chap was only 3 pages because like I told you… I'M FALLING ASLEEP! I really wanted to read a fanfic after writing this chapter. But… I'm gunna go lay in the bed, falling asleep watching "Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone" Laterz!
