-Against All Reasons-
Author's Chat Section- Okay. Hi everybody! Chapter 3. Yay! Anyways I accidentally deleted chapter 4 so I'm gonna have to rewrite that one. Oh well.
Disclaimer: Once again I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters, so please don't sue. Cause then I'll counter sue and we'll all be in court. Now who wants that?
Chapter 3- Nothing More Than A Thought
Harry and Ron were both sitting together in their usual seats all the way at the end of the Griffindor Table, saving a small space between them for Hermione. About 5 minutes have passed by and there was still no sign of her. They began to worry.
"Where is she? She should be here by now." Ron stated.
"Come on, she's probably taking her time on doing something, don't pressure her. After all she did injure her foot yesterday." Harry replied while buttering his toast.
"You're right Harry, she's probably resting up a bit. But Harry…"
Harry was now eating his buttered-toast. "Yeah…" said Harry while eating his buttered-toast.
"Doesn't it seem weird that Hermione tripped on the floors of the main stairway? We never tripped on them before even when it was wet and what does the malpractice of the floors have to do with it making it slippery?"
"Well, I donno. Although it may have sounded strange, the floors weren't always that dry and leveled correctly they've been kinda slippery lately cause of all this weather and they are really old, so I guess that's why." Harry added, just before Hermione finally appeared from the Great hall walking towards the Griffindor table seeking for Harry and Ron.
She sat down between them lightly squished in-between both of them.
"Good Morning you guys."
"So… how are you feeling?" Ron asked.
"I'm feeling much better than before." Hemione added while grabbing a small slice of toast from the breadbasket.
Harry too grabbed another slice of bread from the basket. "That's nice to hear."
Hermione let out a small sigh, as she searched around the room for any sign of Malfoy. He wasn't there. She was quite relieved but still felt a bit empty inside.
"Well… I'm gonna head towards the dormitory to grab my things for the next class."
"We'll go with you Hermione." Asked Ron with such a happily tone in his voice.
"No it's better if I go along, I'd also have to meet up with Professor McGonagall she has to tell me something." Hermione Lied.
"If you say so." Ron added looking quite disappointed.
"See you guys in class." She managed to say before she left off towards the Main Entrance only to see the tiny phoenix statue that was placed in the front of the stairway, was moved to the right toward the handrail.
"Finally."
Then she headed towards the common room once more, when all of a sudden Malfoy jumped in front of her from behind a metal amour suit.
It was none other than Draco. "Did I startle you, Mudblood?"
"Not one bit Malfoy."
"Well whatever. Listen mudblood Professor McGonagall wants to see us at 8:30 at night in her office. She wants us to bring our wands."
"What for?" Hermione asked.
"I have no idea, Granger." He just walked away.
I wonder why Professor McGonagall wants us to bring our wands. Well whatever it is I know it's for some good reason.
Hermione arrived at the portrait of the fat lady but this time she was dressed in light lavender clothes with a small lilac flower on her pink hat making her look a bit more younger than her age.
"Password." Asked the portrait
"Umm… Oh yeah. Truffle berry cake."
"Oh, I'm sorry that password is incorrect, they've changed it yesterday." The fat lady said to Hermione.
They've changed it already. After the first four days of school! I hate when they do this. This is absurd. Then Hermione heard a voice from behind her.
"Alexandrian birds." Said a small soft voice.
Hermione turned around and realized that it was Ginny Weasley; Ron's youngest and only sister, she was now 16 and was looking very attractive with her long shiny red hair and a very tall figured body she didn't look anything like the rest of her brothers expect with the slightly noticeable freckles.
"They've changed it yesterday when you were at the Hospital Wing. By the way how are you feeling, Hermione?"
"I'm feeling good. Hey, Ginny do you happen to have the schedule for 7th year?" She added.
"Nope sorry, why did you ask?"
"Oh cause mine's wasn't handed to me yesterday, so I was wondering if probably you had it."
"Well, why don't you ask Lavender and Parvati I bet they have it."
"Guess I have to…" Hermione said in a slightly disappointing voice as she was walking through the portrait hole and arrived at the girls' dormitory, as she found Lavender and Pavati sitting on the couch together whispering something very softly to each other that could be heard all over the room since nobody else was there beside them.
"So you heard that they'll have to pick a new head boy or girl this year?" Lavender whispered to Pavati.
"Yeah, it'll probably be Harry Potter, he always gets picked for everything." She responded.
"Might be, but I really don't think so… Well anyways have you seen our classes that we have? In almost everyone of them we have it with Syltherin, that's what I hate about this year." Lavender said.
"Yeah… Oh hey Hermione, how have you been lately. Heard you went to the hospital how are feeling with that." She asked.
"Feeling fine, listen do any of you guys have the 7th year schedule for us?"
"Umm… yeah here you go." Lavender said while handing Hermione a folded sheet of paper from her handbag.
"Thanks. Guess I'll be heading up towards my next class. Aren't you guys coming?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, we have to. Come on Lavender you don't want Professor Randall to get mad at us." Pavati added while grabbing Lavender's left arm and pulling her toward the exit of the dormitory.
Hermione put out a small face of confusion and then opened the folded paper that Lavender gave her and started reading it.
Pavati is right. We do have Professor Randall this year… That's good. Hermione always had a liking towards Professor Randall, with her long silky black hair and her pale white skin. Hermione always thought of her as one the best arithmancy teachers she ever had with her good teachings and skills she had.
"Well, let's go Hermione I don't want to drag you too." Pavati said in an irritating voice.
All three of them left their dormitory and heading towards Professor Randall's classroom, along the way they saw many of the first and second years rushing to their classrooms hitting them while they ran.
"Must be late." Lavender said while walking up their 4th stairway looking for Professor Randall's classroom.
Pavati, Lavender and Hermione finally arrived at Professor Randall's classroom, being one of the first students arriving there.
"Good morning girls." Professor Randall said to them from behind.
All three of them turned around slowly. "Good morning Professor Randall." They all said at the same time.
"I hope you all had a nice summer, now if you may please be seated." She responded while walking towards her desk.
Hermione saw that their seats have been arranged much more differently than last year. Instead of being arranged separately across the room they have been huddled together to form a group of 5.
Hermione took her seat at the very last table all the way in the back of the room. She placed all her books and quills on her desk when all of the other students arrived at the door. She saw all the Giffindors and Syltherins take their seats when she lastly saw Harry, Ron and Malfoy come in through the door, pushing each other along the way.
"Move out of the way, Potter." Malfoy snapped at Harry.
"Why won't you Malfoy." He responded while yelling at him.
"Guys come on both of you move!" Ron said.
"Mister. Potter, Mister. Weasley and Mister. Malfoy. Come here this instant!" Professor Randall snapped at them.
All three of them got through the door and started walking towards Professor Randall's desk while still glaring at each other.
"Now all of you take your seats. Potter and Weasley I don't want you two sitting next to Hermione so Potter sit over there next to Kayla, and Weasley sit to the right across from Henry. Now Mister. Malfoy, I want you to sit across from Hermione. Now I don't want any more arguments from any one of today. You all got that." She snapped at them as they started walking towards their seats.
After yelling at Harry, Ron, and Malfoy she looked at her class with a slight happier and calmer face. "Okay class, I hope you all got your books for the upcoming NEWT's this year. As you all know this will be your hardest and final year so I suggest you all don't mess this up for yourselves… Now open up your books to page 5 and read A history of Divine Magic and work on the assignments once your finished reading. Hand it in to me before you go." She stated.
Hermione glared at Malfoy as he looked at her while saying something under his breath to her. Then she got back to her work forgetting all about what Malfoy had said.
"Okay, class it's 10:00 head to your next class and hand in your assignment to me before you leave." Professor Randall said.
Hermione got up from her desk and heading towards Professor Randall's desk to hand in her paper, before heading off towards her next class carrying a heavy load of books in her hand.
"Hey Hermione hold up." Harry yelled from across the hallway running up to her with Ron following.
"Oh hey you guys…"
"Heard that you have detention today with Malfoy." Harry stated while looking at Hermione suspiciously.
"Yeah… I do." Hermione responded.
"Care to tell us what happened Hermione." Harry asked sounding a lot like Professor McGonagall.
"Well… yesterday I stood up after curfew and Malfoy was too so we both got detention for three weeks." She responded.
"Three weeks!!!" Harry and Ron both yelled.
"We never had detention for that long." Ron said.
"Yeah…But Professor McGonagall wants us to bring our wands for something." She added.
"But why?" Harry asked.
"I have no idea. All I know is that'll be something important."
Ron rose an eyebrow. "Is Malfoy coming too?"
""Yeah, she's gonna leave us alone somewhere."
Both Harry and Ron looked at each with a face of suspicion before looking back at Hermione.
"Well if Malfoy does something to you tell me so I could give him a good kick in the a-"
"Ron! Nothing is gonna happen between us." Hermione had yelled before realizing what she just said.
"What I meant to say was that I could take care of myself and whatever he'll try to do I'll just send him flying off." She quickly added while giving a slight chuckle afterwards.
"Umm… Okay Hermione if you say so." Ron said while still looking at Hermione confused.
Hermione hadn't said a word since after what she said. As they arrived at their Charms class she opened the door for Harry and Ron who didn't even look at her. She closed it slowly afterwards.
When is this going to be over? There are problems even before detention began…and there shouldn't be. Should there?
She grunted softly.
Sigh, this is definitely going to be three long weeks.
She sighed once more before heading off towards her seat carrying the heavy load of books in her hand.
Author's Notes: Yeah I know there is still no chemistry between Draco and Hermione but please be patient, they just don't fall in love with each other just like that. But I promise there will be in the upcoming chapter. I have many juicy ideas for this story but I really really need inspiration so if any of you guys have any suggestions I'm wide open. Send it to me via email or aim Okay. Thanks, and please don't forget to review, if you can.
