*Chapter 2: Potion's Work*

"Bastard" Hermione muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Harry asked.

"Nothing," she sighed. "I'm going to the library now. I need to finish Snape's homework," she said getting up with her books.

"Yeah, good idea. I haven't done any yet," Ron said getting up after her.

"Ron Weasley. If you think you are going to copy off my report, think again," Hermione snapped.

Ron's face fell a little. "Fine then. I'll do it myself and fail Potions and the fail my NEWTS next year and get fifty detentions," Ron grumbled.

"Fine. I will read over your essay once I've finished mine, but I am not giving you my answers," Hermione told him and they both walked out of the Hall.

"Hey Harry. Am I missing anything with Ron and Hermione, leaving the hall together?" Ginny came and sidled into the chair next to him. She had obviously developed feelings for him again, but Harry being the oblivious guy he was around girls, hadn't picked that up yet.

"Nah. Hermione isn't interested in Ron that way and you know Ron is with Renee," Harry told her. Ron and Renee Delacour had met up again last year when the school of Beauxbatons had come to stay at Hogwarts for safety. She was the younger cousin of Fleur Delacour. Her English had improved greatly, and you could hardly hear the French in it anymore. Ron and Renee had hit it off straight away. They had both been able to visit each other because sixth years could use magic out of school and they had both passed their Disapperation tests.

"Well I'd better be going now. I have a nasty essay to finish for McGonagall," Ginny sighed. She knew Harry hadn't got the message yet, but there was always hope, right?

"Yeah, I'll come with you. I have to finish Snape's report," Harry said and they left together.

*****

"Ah hah! I've finished" Ron exclaimed and earned a glare from Madame Pince.

"Well I'm not so you can wait a couple of minutes," Hermione hissed.

"Ok done. Read mine and I'll read yours," she said and handed Ron her paper.

"Yeah, it's good, except the Washworm goes into the potion AFTER the Triickle," Hermione corrected him.

"Yeah well your paper has no mistakes," Ron grumbled.

"Lets go. I'm so tired," Hermione said with a yawn.

They walked back towards the Common room. It was deserted when they entered. They went quietly towards their staircases.

In the opposite end of the castle a young woman was screaming in pleasure while a hot Malfoy smirked down on her.

A/N: Sorry that was really short, but I had to finish it somewhere and this chapter was starting to suck more and more. The next one will be interesting, I promise. REVIEW!!!
