Authors Note: Hello hello hello! What's all this?! Hmmm I seem to be
taking longer and longer to update chapters now don't I? Slaps her wrists.
Sorry guys, had a busy weekend, worked Saturday (it was my last day, sob)
and I am currently very busy sorting out stuff for Uni (term starts 15th
September - Yikies)! Neways thanks for the reviews:
Dinka - Thanks for your reviews! I have already written what seems loads of apologies for the Ginny chapter! I cant very well take back what she said can I? Plus it is important to the story. It will eventually make sense I promise (or I hope neways). Tell me who you're hoping it is, I already know and I'm not going to change it just to be mean, I'm not mean! LoL
Saffire Shadow - thanks Saffy mwah!
Carmel March - glad you liked it, here's more :)
Goody - Hehe! Thanks
Shiningcrystal - I take that as an approving LoL!
Ginnymanytounges - Thank you!
duzzy wuzzy - I am writing more and I don't intend to stop just yet :)
Eizoku - HeHe thanks!
Araz - thatnks! I needed to hear that it wasn't bad! LoL!
The Elfin Child - LoL Draco just rocks, he's just so evil mwahahaha!
An Anti-Sheep Cheese Muffin - here's my update :)
LythTaeraneth - thanks
I would also like to take this time to point out that I have just reposted my first fan fiction, The Seventh Year. It isn't complete, but I am willing to write more if I get asked. If you like my style, give it a read, I cant promise you'll love it, it's a bit more angsty than this story, but it still has some of my characteristic wit. I have characteristic wit? Wow! LoL Neways worth a click? Let me know if you read it and what you think - there's a magic review button at the bottom of that story too (hint hint). Hehe, don't worry it wont interfere with this story! LoL Keep reviewing, love ya all

The Breakdown
"Would you kindly explain what exactly Malfoy was talking about Hermione? And why does he know it before we do?" said Harry, in a hurt tone.
"Well it's a bit crazy," said Hermione, "and he only knows coz he worked it out, not coz I told him."
"Well what is it? It cant be that bad," said Ron.
"I know you're in love with me," said Hermione in a very matter of fact tone, not directing the comment at either one of the guys. They both blushed, thinking she was talking to them.
"What?" said Harry weakly.
"It's OK guys, and its not your fault," the boys shot her quizzical glances, "it was Neville's love potion, remember the one he split on me. Well the potion wasn't brewed correctly and also I didn't drink it so it totally backfired, and instead of me falling in love with Neville, everyone guy I come into contact with falls in love with me. Or at least part of me," Hermione explained.
"Oh," said Harry, "well I guess that explains err, some stuff, but what about the kiss?"
"Malfoy kissed me," said Hermione monotonously.
"WHAT?" exploded Ron, "I'll kill him!"
"No Ron, he cant help it, its just the love potion," sighed Hermione, "come on guys we better get to class."
Charms passed without a hitch, they were revising Silencing Charms, which wasn't particularly taxing. Professor Flitwick kept giving Hermione funny looks, but he didn't say anything. Hermione finished the lesson in a good mood. Next lesson was Care of Magical Creatures. Hermione was very worried as to how Hagrid would react to her, and also because they had Care of Magical Creatures with the Slytherins, and they always got under Hermione's skin.
"Alrigh' 'Arry," called Hagrid as they approached his hut. They were one of the first to arrive.
"Hi Hagrid," said Harry.
"Oh 'ello 'Ermione," said Hagrid in a shy voice, "be with yer in a moment," he said, retreating into his hut.
"Looks like you impressed him," said Ron jokily.
When most of the class had assembled, Hagrid reappeared. He had axle grease in his hair, not unlike the time he had been trying to impress Madame Maxime. At this Ron's giggles were barely controllable. He tried very hard to keep a straight face so he didn't offend Hagrid, but his lips quivered and he went very red from the effort.
Hagrid continued with the lesson, glancing over every once in a while at Hermione. As the lesson was drawing to a close Hagrid sidled over to where Harry Ron and Hermione were working.
"You lot 'lright then?" he said as casually as he could, which considering his nerves wasn't very casually at all.
"Yes thanks Hagrid," said Harry, "it was a good lesson today."
It had been a good lesson, they had been looking at Knarls, a small like hedgehog creature, (A/N see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), which compared to Hagrid's usual standards wasn't too bad. Even the Slytherins hadn't complained, too much.
"Err 'Ermione, I was err wonderin' if yer err if yer'd like to come and visit me tonight, on yer own like," said Hagrid hopefully, "its just well I know 'Arry and Ron have Quidditch and that and well yer must get lonely and I err get lonely and I well was," Hagrid blurted out.
Hermione cut across him, stopping his babbling, "I'm very sorry Hagrid, I have so much homework to do, maybe all three of us can make it down at the weekend?"
"Ah, yer, that would be nice," said Hagrid, embarrassed and defeated.
"Oh look the stupid old buffoon tried to ask the mudblood out," said a cold voice, which could only belong to one person, "just imagine at your first date you could compare how dirty you are."
The Slytherins all broke into callous laughter.
"Imagine what their children would look like, big and ugly with even bigger teeth," the stream of insults was unrelenting.
The sound of the bell rang out over the grounds, and the Slytherins started back towards the castle, laughing all the way. Hermione just stood there, unaware of what to say. She was really hurt by Malfoy's insults but she felt sorry for Hagrid. She looked at him; he looked like a broken man. Why was Malfoy so damn insensitive? Hermione couldn't take it any more; with all the pressure of the potion, on top of all the teenage angst and schoolwork, she just broke down. Sobbing hysterically Hermione ran back up to the castle.
