The air hung with the stench of burning frogs in the Potions classroom.
Professor Snape pounded students with questions, taking house points away
from Gryffindor if it was the wrong answer, trying to bring Slytherin to
the lead.
"All right class. That's enough for today. You will be required to write a page essay on the uses of fried frogs. Good day." The Gryffindors and Slytherins left the dungeons and headed towards the Great Hall for lunch.
Harry spotted Hermione walking slowly up ahead.
"See ya later Ron, I've got to talk to Hermione. She hasn't spoken to me for days."
"Why?" Ron looked at the floor as they walked.
"Um.I'll tell you later. Bye." Harry left his friend's side and caught up with Hermione. She kept walking, pretending not to notice him. "Hermione, please talk to me. I need to talk to you and I know you want to talk to me. Please, just look at me." He grabbed her elbow and stopped her. By now the hallway was clear, not a student in sight.
"Why should I talk to you, after the way to yelled at me last week? I don't want to talk, as much as I need to, I don't want to." She turned her head and looked into Harry's sparkling emerald eyes. Her eyes filled with water.
"I'm sorry. I was just.not expecting that. Please forgive me?" He pleaded. She leaned against the wall to help relieve her head from the constant dizziness.
"I do. I'm sorry for acting like an idiot. I'm just.not feeling like my self." She slid down the wall until she was sitting. She put her head in her hands and started crying.
"Oh, Mione. You're not an idiot! I'm so sorry for what I did to you." He sat next to her and hugged her tightly. She was quite taken back, for Harry hadn't touched her since that night during the party. She leaned her head on his shoulder and continued to cry. He rubbed her other shoulder and rested his head on top of hers.
"I did it too. We are both to blame for this. Please don't take all the blame."
"Don't worry. School is out in a few days.then we'll go talk to your parents." He lifted her chin with his finger and looked in her eyes. He moved his face closer to hers.they were almost touching their lips when.
"Harry!" Ron came dashing around the corner, but stopped when he saw them sitting together. Harry turned his attention to the red head. "Oh, sorry, but you've got to see this! In the Great Hall! C'mon!" Ron ran back towards the Great Hall, not waiting for Harry to follow.
"Sorry, Mione. We'll talk more later." He stood up, grabbed her hand and helped her stand up and together they hurried towards the Great Hall.

"Put me down, Longbottom, or I'll curse you and your Grandmum!" Neville Longbottom stood next to the Gryffindor table with his wand pointed at Draco Malfoy. "I swear, Longbottom, I'll make your life miserable."
"Quit your whining, Malfoy!" Harry, Ron, and Hermione were standing next to Neville, looking up at the floating Slytherin.
"Um.Neville? Why, exactly, is he up there?" Hermione asked.
"Well, he came over to the table and started making fun of people. When he got to me, I pulled out my wand and levitated him."
"You finally got enough courage to stand up to him." Ron slapped his friend's shoulder.
"Put me down! I'll tell Dumbledore and you'll have negative house points!" Malfoy was kicking and screaming, trying to get down himself.
"Malfoy, if you weren't so thick headed, you would pull out your wand and put your self down." Harry shouted. The blonde boy smirked at Harry and reached for his wand. He pointed it at himself and began to mutter something, but didn't finish before.
Harry yelled something and Malfoy's wand flew out of his hand and into Harry's. This caused the whole room to burst out laughing. Hermione fell on to Harry laughing so hard. Ron's eyes were teary from laughing so hard. Just as quickly as the laughter started it stopped. Professor Dumbledore cut through the crowd, his long burgundy robes trailing behind.
"Mr. Longbottom, please put Mr. Malfoy down and the both of you follow me." Neville obeyed and the two boys followed the headmaster. The rest of the room went back to eating. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table and began eating, all except Hermione.
"Hermione, you need to eat." Harry urged.
"Harry, what were you going to tell me?"
"Oh, yeah." He leaned in and hardly whispered to his best friend. " Well, Hermione and I are going to have a baby."
"Really?!"
"Ron! Shush!" Hermione clapped a hand over his mouth.
"Sorry, but that's really not good. You're only seventeen. You're lives are going to be changed for ever."
"Only everyone has told us that." Hermione said sarcastically. "Oh, Harry. I sent an owl to my parents and told them you were going to stay with us for a couple weeks or days right after graduation. Is that all right with you? I'm sure the Dursley's won't mind not having you for a couple weeks longer, right?" She smiled a sweet smile at him. He returned one and looked deep in the pools of cinnamon.
"That's fine. Graduation is in two days. Can you believe we've been known each other for seven years, and school is almost over?"
"Yeah, it went fast." Ron replied. Neville walked back over and sat down. "What did he do, Neville?"
"Nothing, he just talked to us over there," he pointed to the door. "I'm not in trouble, he just laughed at Malfoy and told us to go on our way." They all laughed. The sound of a throat being cleared was heard behind Hermione and Harry. Harry turned around to see Malfoy and his two bodyguards standing with their arms crossed. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood up to face them.
"Well, Potter," he spat the name from his lips. "You look tired.maybe your little mudblood bitch could help you go to sleep." He smirked. Ron jumped at him, but only to be held back by Harry and Hermione.
"Don't you ever call her that again, or there will be hell to pay for you, Malfoy." Harry said between gritted teeth.
"Which one, mudblood, or bitch?" Malfoy had to duck from Harry jumping at him, but this time Ron and Hermione held him back. "Better watch your self, Granger, or you might end up pregnant."
"Too late." Neville had joined them, but cupped his hand over his mouth as soon as he spoke.
"Really now? Is that so? Famous Harry Potter is having a baby with filthy mudblood Granger? How sweet." Hermione launched herself at Malfoy and made him fall to the floor, sitting on his stomach, with her hands around his neck.
"Take it back! Take it back or I'll kill you!" Hermione screamed. The whole of the hall heard and was now standing around watching.
"Calm down, Hermione!" Harry and Ron were trying to pry her off, but she refused to move. She tightened her grip on his neck. Malfoy's face was turning different shades of purple and blue. "Hermione, you're going to kill him!" Harry put his arms through hers and pulled her up. He held her arms behind her back so she couldn't use them. Malfoy stood up and brushed off his arms.
"Well, it looks like you've got a feisty little bitch there, Potter. I'm sure she'll serve you well." The trio just stood and watched him walk off. They walked back to the common room, where Harry finally let go off Hermione's arms. Hermione sat on the couch and cried. Harry put his arms around her and Ron and Neville sat in the chairs and starred into the fire.
"I'm sorry." Neville said, breaking the few minutes of silence.
"It's okay. It's not your fault." Hermione said, looking up at him. Her face was extremely tear stained and her eyes were blood shot. Her hair stuck to the water streaks, making it hard to see her eyes.
"We'll leave you two alone to talk. C'mon, Neville, we'll miss class." Ron and Neville got up and left for class, not bother to remind the other two of classes.
"Hermione, dear, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault! Will you stop saying you're sorry!" she screamed. She collapsed into another flood of tears.
They sat on the couch, talking and crying all afternoon, not bothering to return to classes.
