Chapter 4 The Restricted Section

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning Hermione awoke at exactly 7:30. 'Oh shit, I'm late.' she thought. She had gotten all dressed and ready to go when she realized it was Saturday. She went to the Gryffindor common room to wait for Harry, Ron, or Ginny. But when she got inside, what she saw made her laugh. She saw Lavender and Ron laying down on the couch together. At first it made her wonder, but then she remembered that Lavender had like Ron for the past two years. 'She finally got what she wanted.'

"AHEM!!" They both awoke with a start and blushed. "Congratulations you guys! I don't care. Ron go get Harry, and Lavender go get Ginny and Parvati so we can head down to breakfast." They nodded and came back down ten minutes later.

"Hey Mione. How was living with HIM last night?" Harry asked her. 'OMG! I totally forgot about last night in the bathroom.

"It was horrible! I was going to take a shower and I walked in on him. It was putrid and disgusting and gross! Then we got into a little mini-fight because he should've locked the door. Like it was MY fault? God! I HATE him!"

Well at least you made Head girl right? Come on. I'm starved. Let's go down to breakfast." They headed down to breakfast and they were a few feet away from the empty classroom Draco and Hermione had used the night before.

"Ooohhh Draco! Yeah!! Give it to me!!!" they heard coming from the classroom. 'Eeeeewwwwwwwwww!!!!! How gross is that? At least put a silencing charm on the room.' she thought. As soon as they got to the Great Hall they found an empty spot and sat down. Ron and Harry got into a discussion on Quidditch. This left Hermione, Ginny, Lavender, and Parvati to a discussion on guys and make-up. "See ya you guys! I'm gonna go check out the Restricted Section in the Library." So she headed up the stairs towards the library.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Library

As Hermione entered the library she noticed that not many students were inside. 'That's good. Now I can concentrate on what I'm doing. What should I read? I'm gonna look at some of the potion books. Those are always interesting.' So she looked for a book on potions. She settled on a book that gives mind-reading potions.

The Mindracola potion will work on any thinking being. You simply drink the potion and think about the person you want to read. You will get a tingling feeling in your head and might get dizzy so sitting while drinking the potion is strongly suggested. You will only be able to hear their thoughts for one half of an hour, but it is very helpful. Use this wisely as it s a very difficult potion to make.

'Hmmm. I think I'll try this one. It seems like a challenge. I can probably get these ingredients from Hagrid and Snape's classroom. Maybe I won't even have to sneak them out like I always do. Everyone thinks I'm so perfect. Imagine if they knew.' "Okay. Let's go find some of these ingredients." she said to no one in particular. 'I can probably get the bat blood, unicorn hairs, and pumpkin seeds from Hagrid. Snape probably has the rest of the items in his closet.' So she set off for Hagrid's hut. It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining through the few clouds scattered here and there and there was a light breeze.

Knock knock "Who's there?" called Hagrid.

"Hagrid, it's me! Open up."

"Oh! Hey 'Mione! How yer' doin?"

"Alright. I was thinking about making a potion that gives you the power to read minds and I was wondering if you could give me some of the ingredients."

"Oh sure. I'll help. What do ya need?"

"I need bat's blood, unicorn hairs, and pumpkin seeds."

"Alright. I can get ya those. Wait 'ere and I'll get them from the closet." So Hagrid got Hermione the ingredients. He offered her some treacle fudge but declined and said she had to get the rest of the ingredients from Snape. "Bye Hagrid!!! I'll talk to you later!"

"Bye Hermione. Tell everyone I said hi. Send em down for tea later."

"Okay Hagrid."

Hermione walked back to the castle thinking about who she should try it on. Her thoughts were interrupted when she walked into someone and fell on her ass. 'ow!' she thought. "Watch where you're going Mudblood. You might get hurt." he smirked his signature smirk. 'Of all the people I had to bump into Malfoy, didn't I? Why me?' She looked up and saw Draco along with Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, and a bunch of other Slytherins. 'Oh great!'

"Leave her alone, Malfoy!" shouted Harry. Hermione and the Slytherins turned and saw Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and other Gryffindors coming towards them. 'Oh great! Now there's gonna be a fight and it's all my fault.' Suddenly an all out fight had started between the Slytherins and Gryffindors. There were sparks flying all over the place and other students were cheering them on. She carefully crawled out and ran towards the Gryffindors. Luckily Professor McGonagall came around the corner and stopped it. Although she took 10 points from Gryffindor and Slytherin, Hermione was glad she had come. Hermione thanked Harry and the rest of the Gryffindors and then told her friends about Hagrid's offer. They decided to head down to Hagrid's hut after lunch. Hermione hurried down the hall toward the dungeons, watching out for where she was going so she didn't bump into anyone. As she arrived at the Potions classroom, she looked inside to make sure Snape was there. He was so she headed in.

"Hello Professor. I wanted to make a mind-reading potion and wanted to know if you could lend me some of the ingredients."

"Why do you want to make this potion Miss. Granger? If you don't have a legible reason for making this potion, I can't give you the ingredients."

'DAMN! I hadn't thought about that. Quick! Make something up!' "I wanted to do Extra Credit. It seemed like a complicated potion to make."

"Alright. Write a one page essay on it and tell me about it's properties. I also want you to tell me who you'll be using it on and what you saw. Tell me when it's finished so I can see it. It's very complex and if you screw it up, you might get hurt. What do you need?"

"Here. I need everything on this list except for the bat's blood, unicorn hairs, and pumpkin seeds."

"Wait here and I will get them from my closet."

"Thank you Professor. I'm going to make it right now!"

She headed up to the Heads common room to find Draco sitting on the couch. He seemed dazed about something when she walked in but before she could say anything, he got up and walked to his room. 'That was weird. I wonder what's wrong. OMG!! I should use this potion on Malfoy. He's always so unreadable. His mind should be interesting.' She went to her room and started the potion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What'd you think? Was it long enough for you? I hope it was better because I've been thinking about it all day. I know Hermione should be spending time with her friends, but she will soon enough! What was up with Malfoy?
