When It Rains
A/N: Okay so no one wants to beta! That's fine, I did get a kind review saying that I didn't need a beta, so I'm going to take that advice and carry on writing the story with as much accuracy as possible. If you do spot any oddities or inaccurate mistakes then please tell me and I shall correct them as soon as possible!
For the next chapter I will include an updated thankyou list to all the reviewers who have reviewed so far! Oh and if you're reading this now and you haven't reviewed yet then review now! Lol!
Thanks again and this chapter is dedicated to all of those who read it.
Oh and for those who are wondering, I am not giving anything away but as you have already read in the summary – this will be a DARK fic! You have been warned.
Chapter 4
Ron Weasley just couldn't stop complaining, for the whole of breakfast he had just sat there fuming about stupid Slytherins and a biased Professor.
Potions wasn't any better, Draco Malfoy happened to pass Ron's cauldron and drop something in, there wasn't an immediate reaction but after five minutes there was a loud pop and most of the contents happened to spray over Ron.
"Malfoy!" he muttered angrily through gritted teeth, Professor Snape seemed to be having the time of his life, lecturing Ron and smirking at him.
Hermione in the meantime tried to ignore it altogether, she swore if she set eyes on Malfoy again that she would probably run the other way, she desperately tried to concentrate on getting the right amounts of ingredients.
At the end of the lesson, Snape walked around checking everyone's cauldron, to her dismay, Snape stopped at Hermione's cauldron.
"What is this?" he spat aloud so that the whole class could hear, Hermione looked up and then at the oozing liquid in the cauldron.
Nervously she answered, "the concoction for the Amthesia potion, Professor."
Smirking, his dark eyes seemed to light up, he stared at her cruelly before saying, "Amthesia is a turquoise colour Miss Granger, what colour is this?" he asked her.
She looked at the cauldron and frowned, 'what..?' Everyone was looking at her, she felt their eyes on her – making her feel so uneasy. Shutting her eyes, she took a deep breath, opened them and stared at the cauldron.
"That is a variation of turquoise," she answered, biting her bottom lip with anxiety.
"No Miss Granger!" Snape practically smiled, "that is not a variation of turquoise, in fact that colour is no where near turquoise, this is a forest green!"
Hermione blushed with embarrassment, was this the first time she had got anything wrong? Laughter broke the silence, Draco Malfoy just sat in his seat laughing, soon all of the Slytherins were laughing.
'They're laughing at me', Hermione thought sadly as she looked to ground, 'he's laughing at me'. Knowing the floor wasn't going to swallow her up like she was praying for, she headed straight for the door, not listening to the whispers as she left.
"MISS GRANGER!" she could hear Snape shout in his cold voice, she wasn't going back now, no, she needed a break.
When she had come out of the dungeons she finally stopped in her tracks and gasped, "Oh my! I actually walked out of a class."
Slowing down a little she decided to go to the kitchens, she was sure that she was going to get in trouble for walking out of Professor Snape's classroom, especially before he had even set the homework.
Arriving at the picture of fruit she tickled the pear and watched the secret door reveal the kitchen of Hogwarts.
'Sod House Elf Labour, I need something to eat', she thought glumly as she was greeted by a small excited house elf.
"Missus, is it food that you want or would it be a drink or both?" the house elf asked jumping up and down.
"Both please," Hermione said tiredly as she was lead over to a seat beside a table by another house elf.
A few minutes later a three course meal was laid out in front of her, her first instinct was to tell the house elves that the food was too much and that they should help her but she knew them too well, knowing they would refuse and would rather carry on preparing the school meal. Sighing she picked up her knife and fork and began eating the delicious food in front of her.
