Chapter 6---------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione awoke the next morning rather early as she could tell; to the snores and sighs she could hear from the other four-poster beds. Looking up at the clock, Hermione thought she might have time to take a shower before any one else was awake.

Gathering up her towel and her school robes, Hermione walked down the girls' stairs and into the common room. Seeing that no one else was in the common room Hermione walked out slowly through the portrait of the Fat Lady and down the corridor to the washroom.

After about a few minutes haste, Hermione found the correct washroom for the first year Gryffindors. The room was painted a bright yellow with a mahogany wood floor. See that there were no showers around, Hermione started filling up a bathtub with the scent of lavender and lilacs.

Hermione stripped down her clothes and stepped into the pool like bathtub. The warm water felt good against her skin and so she went under. Coming up out of the water Hermione saw a figure standing in the doorway.

"What are you doing in here?!" Hermione said when she recognized Draco Malfoy standing and looking at her, a wry smile spread across his face. "I came to take a bath." Draco said maliciously. He walked closer to another tub and started running the water.

Hermione had about had it. She grabbed her towel that was sitting on the side of the tub and covered herself as she got up out of the nice warm water into the chilling air. Glaring at Malfoy before going into a bathroom stall, Hermione mumbled curses under her breath, and Malfoy heard every single one of them. Once Hermione slammed the bathroom stall door shut she heard the blonde haired boy laughing. Laughing hard.

Hermione finished dressing and when she came out of the stall, the boy from earlier was still in the bubbled filled tub. Walking by the tub he was in, Hermione 'accidentally' kicked his clothes and towel into it. Hearing him yell at her as she left the room gave Hermione a smile welcoming the day that followed.

Behind the large oak door was professor Snape's classroom. Well, really a dungeon, but that was beside the point. It still was a classroom, as Professor Snape called it. On the chalkboard in the front of the room were the directions on how to make a sleeping potion.

Hermione was happy that her first class was potions. She had wanted to make one since she read about the course on the Hogwarts Express. Now she was finally going to do that.

But then her mood was spoiled when Professor Snape started pairing people up into groups of two. Harry was stuck with Pansy Parkinson, while Ron was seated with Cho Chang. Everyone seamed to like Cho a lot. But Hermione didn't like her at all. Though she was pretty, smart, funny, and had perfect teeth...she was awfully mean to must of the Gryffindors.

And Hermione, Hermione got paired with the same boy that she saw in the girls washroom that morning. Yes that cute blonde haired boy she met in the tub. He looked over at her a smirked. "My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." The blonde haired boy said. Hermione didn't even remember her present day caretakers, for she had drank to much butter-beer the night before. "Hermione Granger, and please don't talk to me again." Hermione said, flicking open her potions book to the right page that she needed.

Draco just evilly glared at Hermione before flipping his own potions book to the right page. Draco started to read aloud while Hermione did as he said. 'This is going to take a long time." Groaned Hermione putting in a diced slug into the cauldron. And she was right. It did take a long time.
