family alive.

Chapter 3: Just My Luck
Yawning, I pushed the covers off and stood up stretching. I froze in mid-stretch when I realized I had less than 7 minutes until the first class started-and today Double Potions was first. Swearing, I got ready in record time and flew down to breakfast. Only a few students were there, Swearing again as I had only two minutes to get to the dungeons, I grabbed a piece of toast and ran, eating as I went. I flew into the room and sat down next to Lavender just as I swallowed my last bite. Lavender asked, "Where have you been?"
Looking at her I replied, "I overslept."
She looked shocked, "Sure Mione. You sound like you're hiding something."
If only she knew. Glancing at Draco, I saw that he was watching with amusement and concern in his eyes. I merely raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to say something. He shook his head and smiled slightly at me. I vaguely heard Lavender say, "So that's what you're hiding! You have a crush on Draco Malfoy!"
It took me a moment to process what she said, "WHAT??!!!!!" I shrieked.
"Twenty points from Gryffindor Miss Granger. I don't need to hear your obnoxiously *loud* voice this early in the morning," a sharp voice said from behind me. Yep.the Slimy Git from Hell-brother to the Devil himself (Draco being the Devil)-also known as Professor Snape, has arrived. Just my luck. A few of the Slytherins snickered at this. Malfoy was trying to hold back a laugh, but I avoided eye contact.
Potions was a drag. Malfoy kept trying to catch my eye, as Lavender so kindly informed me. I just ignored him. When the class was up, I practically ran out of the room, heading for Charms which unfortunately, we also had with the Slytherins this year. Lavender had barely been able to keep up with me, and as she gratefully collapsed into her chair she asked, "Damn Mione. What was your hurry?"
A voice I knew all too well sounded from behind us, "It seems she was trying to avoid a certain Slytherin."
Turning around I said, "Hello Blaise." (A/N: Did you think it was Draco?)
"Hi Mione. As you flew out of class, Draco told me to give this to you. When I asked him why he couldn't give it to you he just said that you'd probably hex him if he came near you," and with that Blaise handed me a piece of parchment and went to sit with Draco on the other side of the room. Draco was looking intently at the wall; Blaise however, was watching me. I don't think I would hex Draco; I'd just burn the note.
As curious as I was to see what Draco had to say, what I did next was partly to spite him and partly because I didn't want to read it. Pulling out my wand, I pointed it at the parchment and said, "Incendio." It burned rather quickly.
Lavender was laughing, Blaise was trying not to smile, and Draco didn't look up but his eyes narrowed and he pursed his lips.
Charms went by somewhat quickly, all we did was take notes (A/N: Sounds like my AP Euro class.) on the Freeze Charm that we would be practicing next time. It was kind of like 'Stupefy' except the person freezes in place but can still hear and see. They also can't talk.
During lunch I sat next to Ginny with my back to Malfoy. I could feel his eyes boring into my back, but I refused to turn around and look at him. Ginny was saying that Ron was mad at Harry because Harry had kissed her even though he knew that they were going out. Ron's just lucky that we don't get mad whenever *he* kisses Lavender, otherwise we'd be permanently mad at him. Like now, for instance, they are practically-no they are-making out in the middle of lunch.
After lunch I headed off with Ginny to Advanced Herbology. We had it with the Hufflepuffs. The Hufflepuffs are actually pretty nice regardless of what everybody says. Just because they are nice doesn't mean they are exceptionally smart-class was let out halfway through because Ernie MacMillan (A/N: He's in Hufflepuff right?) nearly burned his hand off.
Advanced Transfiguration, which Ginny was also in, we had with Slytherins. Most seventh years are required to take it, it's only optional for sixth years if they want to take it early and get it over with. It was easy as all we are doing is taking notes on Animagi. After it was over, I left Ginny telling her I'd be up later and headed to the library to return a book. On my way out (A/N: I know this is used a lot, but hey it works!) I ran into something solid and landed right on my ass. I looked up to see what I'd bumped into and mentally groaned when my chocolate eyes met the stormy gray ones of Draco Malfoy. Damn. Just my luck. As I stood up, he took my hand and led me down the hall to-yep you guessed it-and unused classroom. Closing the door behind us he said, "Granger, we need to talk."
