Chapter 1: the announcement and dilemma
It was a cold fall morning at the end of November at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall had a special announcement for the Gryffindors.
"We are going to have another ball similar to the Yule Ball we had last year. You will need partners again. And it's in 3 weeks so start asking. You have ample time to find one."
Harry was horrified. Last year's ball hadn't gone very well. He didn't want to ask Cho again and get turned down! Maybe he would ask Hermione. She was getting prettier every day. But Ron liked her, right? Hmmm. He would have to think about this.
Hermione didn't know whom he would go with. She supposed Harry and Ron had learned not to wait so long because of last year. They might ask her. But whom would she rather go with? Viktor Krum. But he, unfortunately for her, was not here this year. She had gone to visit him in Bulgaria that summer. She wished he could be here.
Ron knew whom he wanted to go with. Hermione. But did he have enough courage? Would she turn him down? All he could do was try.
The next day went fairly normal, with the exception of Potions class. Malfoy seemed to be worse than ever. He seemed to want to get detention. And he kept catching Hermione's eye. It creeped her out. It was very hot in Potions; Snape left the fans off on purpose. It made the whole experience very undesirable. Hermione found it felt good to hike up her skirt quite a bit and let in a breeze. Snape caught Malfoy staring at her as she did it.
"Miss Granger," he droned. "Will you please stop seducing us all?"
Hermione blushed crimson and lowered her skirt.
"And, as for you Mr. Malfoy," he continued. "Don't make me take points from my own house."
Now it was Malfoy's turn to blush. "I wasn't doing anything Professor!"
"Don't play dumb. Ten points from Slytherin."
Malfoy's gang stared at their head of house in disbelief. But Malfoy seemed delighted. He would get detention for sure.
"You know Professor, I think that is ridiculous," he said, getting up. The next thing he did amazed everyone. It was scandalous even for Malfoy. "And this is what I think of you." He continued and then mooned his head of house.
"MISTER MALFOY!!!!!" he bellowed. "100 POINTS FROM SLYTHERIN!"
Malfoy would have to do more than that to get detention. He pulled his trousers up, turned around, and punched Professor Snape squarely in the jaw. Snape went flying into the wall.
"ANOTHER 100 POINTS! AND DETENTION FOR OUR LITTLE JOKESTER HERE!"
Malfoy smiled and sat back down.
"What's gotten into him?" Hermione said.
"Who knows," Ron answered testily as he cut up dead flobberworm for his potion. "Maybe he wants some time to think about you in detention."
"ME??" Hermione nearly yelled to the whole class.
"Hermione, keep it down." Harry said, looking over at the extremely angry Snape.
"You think he likes me?????"
"Well, didn't you see the way he conveniently looked right over here right when you hiked up your skirt?"
"Oh really Ron, if you're going to accuse someone use better evidence!"
"Guys, shut up!"
"Miss Granger, Potter, Weasley, 20 points from Gryffindor. And keep it down or it'll be 40."
"I told you." Harry hissed and they went back to brewing their potions.
A/N: well? What do think?? Huh? Huh? I can't hear you! Press the purple box and voice your opinion.
