The next day, classes started. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had all classes
together, except Hermione had more than the usual amount of seven. She used
her Time Turner to get to all of them. Ron still didn't know about it, and
asked random, "Where did she come from?"s and "Did you see her come in?"s.
Draco Malfoy was also noticing her appearances. He thought better of
talking of them because now he knew that Hermione had a wicked right hook.
At breakfast, Hermione squished her eggs around on her plate, not
taking a single bite.
"Hermione?" Harry asked curiously.
"Hmm?" Hermione responded, not taking her eyes off of her plate.
"I just noticed...you're not hungry...again."
"So? I haven't had much of an appetite recently."
"Okay." Harry said, nodding his head acceptently.
"Well," Hermione said shortly, standing up. "We'd better be going. I hear
the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is awfully frightful." She
grabbed her books, and hugging them to her chest, she left without a
word. Ron leaned over to Harry and whispered,
"Who'd she hear that from? It's the first class and the first day." Harry
shrugged unknowingly.
The trio had forgotten about "Stacy Valentine" until she appeared in their D.A.D.A class. "There's that strange girl again." Hermione whispered to Harry as he sat down next to her. Ron sat on her opposite side. "What was her name again?" "Stacy Something-or-other." Harry answered. "Valentine. Stacy Valentine." Ron said smartly. Stacy turned around robotically. "Can I help you?" At that moment, a woman walked in, with curly brown hair and brown eyes. Hermione bit her lip. "Hello class! My name is Professor Elizabeth Granger. You guys can call me Professor, or Professor Granger, or even Lizzie if you want. Some of you might recognize me as Hermione's mom, or as your dentist. But just keep that behind you. Today we are going to be working on werewolves. And I understand that you did a small segment on---" The Trio heard no more. They began discussing this and that answered Ron's questions of how Hermione knew of this teacher and why she wasn't eating. The next class they had was potions. Professor Snape was as dreadful as always. In class, they made a potion called the Love Lox Potion. It was a bright pink color, and they made the drinker love the first person they see until they die or until they drink the anti-potion, simply call Love Unlox. During the class period, Malfoy was excessively staring at Hermione. Harry noticed that she did look extra pretty today. She was wearing a light pink tank top that had a low, oval neckline, with black pants that fitted her long, slender legs nicely. She also had a necklace that had a silver"H" on it. Once, Hermione looked over at Malfoy and said a little too loudly, "What?!" and she got 5 points taken from Gryffindor. About 10 minutes later, Malfoy walked to Snape's desk and asked a stupid question that he obviously didn't care about then walked over to Hermione, Ron and Harry's table and "accidentally" spilled his Love Lox onto it. Some of it actually fell on the table but Hermione screamed and about 7 drops fell in her mouth. She automatically closed her eyes and her mouth and spun around. When she opened her eyes, she saw...
Harry.
It didn't feel like anything had happened. Hermione just shook her head and said "Whoa. I am totally over that." The rest of the day was just normal, but at 6 o' clock, the three friends sat in the common room and began discussing Stacy Valentine. "I didn't see her at the feast. I don't think she was sorted." Hermione said. "But, she was in class, that's impossible." Hermione looked at Harry like she never has before. "You're so smart." Harry broke the stare. "Th-thank you. Hermione, do you know what happened today in Potions?" Hermione took her beautiful brown eyes away from Harry and said, "Yeah. I'm not in love with you. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not." "Am I that bad?" Harry said, faking being sad. Hermione smiled and laughed, "No."
