Hour Glass

Chapter Nine

"Why do we have to have potions so early in the morning?" Ginny asked Colin, not wanting an answer. Lucky for her, she didn't get one. They walked in silence down the corridor that led to the dungeons until they reached Professor Snape's classroom. They sat down in their usual spots and talked quietly until Snape walked in the room.

"Silence," Snape said as he took his seat at his desk in front of the class. "You will be working on the Sleeping Draught today. The directions are on the board. Your potion should be finished before the end of class, if not your house will be deducted of five points. Begin... NOW," Snape said, returning to grading on his desk. Ginny took out the ingredients needed and set to work quietly with Colin working beside her.

Ginny finished her Sleeping Draught fairly quickly compared to her other classmates and had some time to think about what had happened last night in the Gryffindor common room. "You are dead in my eye's! What type of cheesy line is that?" Ginny thought. "Sound's like something you would here in what muggles call movies." But then the thought hit her like a ton of bricks. "He's never going to act the same towards me again! He won't even call me 'Weasel' or even 'Hey kid move'! He won't even look at me! Ginny, why did you have to grow a backbone?" she silently asked herself. "Why? Why? Why? Why? Or did you not notice how incredibly gorgeous Draco is this year?" she thought, looking around the classroom.

"Why won't the bell ring and release me from this hell hole?" Ginny said to herself.

"What did you say, Miss Weasley?" Snape said coming silently up behind her.

"What... Oh! Why won't the bell ring and release me from this hell hole? Is that what you mean?" Ginny said, surprising everyone by standing up to Snape.

"Yes, Miss Weasley, that is exactly what I..." but Snape never got to finish his sentence because right at that moment the bell rang, signaling the end of class. Everyone was rushing past each other to get out of the small dungeon door.
