Liy and the plot.
Chapter 6
In the morning when Hermione woke up to unpack her clothes into her closet, she found the closet full of beautiful clothes, just Hermione's size and style. Since Hermione was Head Girl, she was allowed to not wear her robes so she pulled out a pair of lime green bellbottoms. She paired them with a white halter top and white platform sandals with green straps. She put on some make up and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
In the Great Hall she was greeted with a kiss from Ron which sent whispers around the hall from all the tables. Especially from Ginny who knew nothing about Ron and Hermione's relationship.
The morning was going great...until they got their schedules. They had the whole morning with the Slytherins. Potions, DADA, and a new subject Hermione and Ron signed up for called Archery. Ever since Hermione saw Lord of the Rings she wanted to learn archery (A/N Duh! Orlando Bloom does the archery!) and then Ron decided to take it because he found the muggle bow and arrow amusing.
After a breakfast, Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed down to the dungeons for potions class.
They were running late and they were sure they would get 20 points taken off Gryffindor each but...Snape wasn't there. A woman was there in his usual spot and the Slytherins were not looking happy about this. Pansy was crying and Draco looked sadder then anyone had ever seen him.
"Erm...hi." Harry said uncertainly. The woman looked at him bemusedly. "I'm Professor Rilassa. As I was saying, Professor Snape was killed in battle against Lucius Malfoy. As was Mr. Malfoy." Hermione was silently cheering but she fixed her face to look sad and she spotted Harry and Ron trying to do the same, "Since he is gone, I will be your new potions teacher but unlike Professor Snape, I will not be biased towards Slytherin even though I am the head of that house, nor will we be taking complicated notes anymore. This class will be completely devoted to potion making." She started handing out books to the class.
Ron and Hermione sat next to each other and held hands. Harry looked around uncomfortably and then decided to sit with Dean and Seamus.
"These are recipe books for your potions. Each day you will choose one potion from this book and mark it off once you have completed the potion. The easy potions are at the beginning of the book and the harder ones are at the back. You must complete 2 potions from the back at the book. At the end of each term, you will hand in your books so I can check your progress." Professor Rilassa said as she passed out the remainder of the books, "You will be doing this in partners," the class started whispering to each other, setting up pairs, "that I will be choosing." The whispering stopped, "Due to the inter-house relationship thing that Dumbledore has the partners will be boy-girl, Slytherin-Gryffindor. Now... Potter- Parkinson, Zabini- Brown, Malfoy- Granger..." (A/N yes...I know that Draco and Hermione are paired as partners in potions class are very typical in Draco/Hermione stories but deal with it. It makes the story work.)
Hermione sighed and walked into the seat next to Draco and opened the book. She read as the professor spoke some more, "These are the partners for the rest of the year so don't even try to convince me to switch you with someone else. Get started. You only have half an hour so I suggest an easy potion for today."
"Draco, I'm really sorry about your father." Hermione looked shocked as Draco started to laugh, "Um...did I humor you somehow?"
"I hated my father ever since I was in the 1st grade. The only reason I looked sad before is because Professor Snape was like a father to me when my father was kissing Voldemort's arse. He was the closest thing to a father I ever had. My mother was my only family." Draco looked so forlorn; even Hermione's heart broke for the poor guy.
"Wow, that's so sad. We better get started on a potion though. Class is over in 20 minutes." Hermione and Draco were magic together. Being the 2 smartest kids in their class, a perfect potion was completed in 10 minutes. With a flourish they checked off the truth potion on their list and poured some into a vial to hand in.
"Very nice but you actually have to test it out. You know that, right?" Professor Rilassa said as she walked by them resting.
Quickly, without arguing, Hermione took a bit of the potion. "Ask me something." She ordered Malfoy.
"Hmmm...let's see. At the moment you have to answer anything I ask you truthfully. What to ask, what to ask?" Draco tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Would you go out with me instead of Weasel if you knew you had a chance?"
"As a matter of fact Draco, you are way hotter, you have a nice ass and you are the Slytherin Sex God but I would not go out with you because you are a prat who calls me mudblood. Also I know Ron a lot more then you so I suppose that's a bonus. In conclusion, no I would not go out with you." Hermione said in a rush.
"Yeah right! Ok what did we do wrong with the potion?" Draco said, scandalized. Hermione looked confused, "Hello! Obviously you aren't telling the truth if you would choose the Weasel over me."
Class was dismissed so Hermione just shook her head and walked away. Draco just stood there, confused.
