Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any other characters you may recognize from the book..they belong t the talented J K Rowling
It was a bright sunny day outside the castle. this is why Harry, Ron and Hermione dreaded having to go to Double Potions even more.
"It's not fair," complained Ron. And with that they headed towards Snape's dungeons. When they reached there, Snape was waiting impatiently with his usual smirk.
After about an hour, Snape walked around to check their potions. "Well, well, well," examined Snape. Neville Longbottom's potion was a bright green instead of the dark blue it was supposed to be. "Ten points from Gryffindor for not paying attention and forgetting to add the unicorn hairs." Neville looked both frightened and shocked. Why did the whole house have to suffer from his stupid mistake?
Just then, the bell rang and the class filed out silently. "Well Longbottom, you've done it again. Soon Gryffindor's points will have gone into the negatives."
"Lay off, Malfoy" exclaimed Harry. "This has nothing to do with you. Stay out of it." "Is there a problem here?" rang Professor McGonagall's voice. "No problem Professor" replied Hermione quickly. "Good. Now get to lunch."
On their way to the Great Hall, Ron had managed to call Draco a git and a big headed jerk a number of times. "Look, cant we just talk about something else?" pleaded Hermione. "Ok, I'll just enjoy the rest of my day and not think about that stupid git."
So the three friends made their way through lunch with the thoughts of their next trip to Hogsmeade and the next Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. This reminded Harry that he had practice later in the day. "We better be hurrying if we want to get to Charms on time." said Harry realizing class would start soon.
Then, just as they were making their way through the Great Hall, they were stopped by Malfoy. "If it isn't Potty, with his two friends, the Weasel and." he hesitated. "and.Hermione." Hermione looked thoroughly shocked at the fact that Malfoy had used her name. "I see the Weasel's got new robes.what did you have to sell for them, huh? Did your mom get a job? Oh, but she'd never qualify for one, would she?"
Ron was shaking with fury with his fists clenching at his sides. Just as he took a step forward, Harry and Hermione grabbed him. "No Ron!" exclaimed Hermione. Draco walked away with a satisfied grin.
Harry and Hermione didn't see Ron for the rest of the day until they went up to the common room after dinner. Ron was in one of the squishy armchairs glaring into the fire. "Harry, you're tired from Quidditch practice, go to bed. I'll take care of this." Reluctantly, Harry nodded and went upstairs. The common room was empty and the only source of light was the crackling fire.
"Ron..are you okay?" asked Hermione, sitting down next to him. "One more crack about my family and I'll kill him. I swear I will." He said through gritted teeth. "I've had to put up with this for six whole years and I'm sick of the bloody git!" "Look Ron, Malfoy's an idiot. You can't keep letting him get to you. That's exactly what he wants. To get you provoked." "Yeah, I guess you're right." He said. And then he finally made direct eye contact. "You know Hermione, I honestly don't know what I would do without you." "Oh Ron-" "No, really. You've always helped me calm my nerves and I want to thank you." He slowly put his hand on hers. "Look, there's no reason for you to thank me. You're my friend and I care about you. I mean, what are friends for?" Ron smiled. Slowly Hermione put her arms around him and gave him a hug.
"Well good night." She told him softly. "Yeah, good night. See you tomorrow Hermione."
And with that they both went up to their dormitories thinking about what had just happened.
