Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know

"What!" yelled Hermione.
"Oh I believe you heard me perfectly well Muddy, now have a seat," he said while patting the chair mischievously," after all, as you so quaintly put it I do love muggles. But whether dead or alive you never specified, so I think I'll have to go with the dead."

Ugh. I'm going to be sick. There's no way I can last a whole year with...with that! Hermione jerked as pressure was put upon on her shoulder, turning her head slightly she found that it was Harry who had come to her aid.
"What's the problem Hermione?" Harry asked while sending a death glare in Draco's direction. Draco crossed his arms and attempted to put an innocent look on his mischievous face. Hermione was just opening her mouth to tell Harry what the problem was when she was interrupted by a loud booming voice.
"Is there a problem here!?" Snape bellowed.
"Professor", Hermione timidly started," I would really rather not have to sit..."
"I don't really care what you would rather do Miss Granger. Mr. Potter go sit next to Miss Parkinson. Miss Granger take your seat next to Mr. Malfoy." And with that Snape turned around robes billowing behind him.

With a disgusted look Harry retreated over to the empty seat next to Pansy Parkinson and Hermione scooted her seat as far away as possible from Draco then took her seat. Hermione, not wanting to admit to face Malfoy searched her bag for a quill and parchment to take notes. She could feel his cool gaze on her. For once she was thankful for Snape always staring the lesson promptly, for no sooner had she found the parchment then Snape started the lesson.
"Today we well be doing a new potion. It is the obedece potion used to make awry witches to be obedient and do whatever the potion giver tells them to do for about three minutes, there is a stronger potion called Contrantiando which puts the drinker of the potion into a subservient state for a longer period of time. The ingredients are in your book on page 57. Go to work."

Hermione and Draco just sat there and stared at one another, neither willing to get up and get the ingredients.
"Miss Granger, do you plan on sitting there all day and receiving an F or are you planning on doing something." Snape snapped then turned back to the work on his desk.
"Well you heard the man," Draco said, and then with a sweeping hand showed her away all the while a smirk planted on his lips. Fuming Hermione stalked over to the table with the ingredients and met Harry on the way.
"How are you holding up." Harry whispered to Hermione as they gather the supplies.
"Oh I'm doing just peachy." She replied sarcastically," You?"
"Well other then wanting to strangle Parkinson I'm doing just great."
"If we survive this class it will be a miracle." Hermione said sighing.
"We'll survive. I will survive, I know I'll stay alive." Hermione laughed at Harry's poor redo of the song "I Will Survive."
"Harry, those lyrics aren't even close."
"Well it's the thought that counts right?"
"Yeah, I guess so, good luck with Parkinson." Hermione replied while gathering the last ingredient.
"You too," Harry replied. Then they both went off in separate directions.

Thunk, thunk, thunk. After dropping all the ingredients on the table Hermione returned to her seat next to Draco with arms folded protectively around her.
"Let's get this over." She grumbled.
"Now, now, what kind of attitude is that," Draco chided. "After all we'll be spending a lot of time together." Hermione's mouth dropped open. She had completely forgot that they would be sitting together in every class. Moaning she dropped her head to the desk in a momentary postion of defeat. What am I going to do? How am I going to get through the whole year with him when I can barely mange to sit next to him for one class? Just as she was about to give up all hope a brilliant idea popped into that wonderful mind of her's. She snapped her head up from the desk so fast it nearly caused Draco to fall of off his chair.
"Your right Malfoy. What are we fighting for, we have much more important things to be doing." She replied with an overfriendly smile on her face. Eye's her suspiciously Draco asked wearily.
"What are you planning Granger?"
"Me? Nothing, we just need to get this potion done so that we don't get an F on this assignment." She said innocently. There's no way he's going to buy this.
"Alright, let's get started then." He replied still keeping a suspicious eye on her. Hermione almost doubled over in laughter at his response. I can't believe he bought it. What a sucker!

Draco grabbed the first ingredient for the obedece potion.
"Wait, you mean you're actually going to help me?" Hermione asked.
"Hhhmm." Draco scoffed. "Just because I'm not an overachiever like you dosen't mean I'm stupid you know. As a matter of fact potions just happens to be my favorite subject." The next half on hour they were silent speaking only when needed to say things such as, "pass the frog tail." Or "what's the next step."

Finally the potion was almost done, and it was time for Hermione's wonderful plan to commence.
"Seastr is the last ingredient, and I forgot to get it." Said Hermione.
"Well then go get." He replied sounding annoyed.
"But I don't know what it looks like." Draco just blinked at her.
"You know, you really aren't as smart as people think you are." And with that he stalked off towards the supply table. Hermione smirked evilly. Reaching into the pocket in her robes she pulled out a jar full of seastr. After adding the right amount she stirred it three times and put the seastr back in her robes just as Draco returned to the table. He was about to add the rest of the seastr when Hermione's hand shot out and grabbed his before he was able to put the ingredient in.
"Don't put it in yet, we have to do one more step first. One of us has to take a sip of it and see if it tastes like pumpkin juice, the ingrideants that we've put in so far are suppose to give it that taste. It won't do anything to us yet, because the seastr is what makes the drinker obedient."
"Fine then you taste it Muddy." Was his reply.
"Fine, I will, I just thought that somebody who was supposedly good at potions would be able to something this simple, but I guess not." Please let this work. Hermione reached for the ladle and was about to get some potion out when her hand was the one being grabbed. Draco took the ladle out of her hands, got a little bit of potion, then drank it.
"Yuck! This dosen't taste anything like pumpkin juice, you messed the potion up Granger!" He yelled. Hermione just smiled.
"Well let's test that theory of yours now then." She replied. A horrified expression came across Draco's face.
"What did you do?" He growled.
"Draco, go and confess your love for Professor Snape then sing him the song entitled, "Don't let me be the last to know." And with that Draco had started towards Professor Snape.
"Severous, I want you to know that I love you, I've always loved you. I think you are the hottest man around." Draco said in a monotone voice. The class had erupted into laughter with nobody laughing harder then Hermione and Harry. Draco had now gotten down on one knee and had grabbed Snape's hand. Then with a loud billowing voice Draco started singing.
"You're friends say your so into me,
And that you need me desperately,
They say you say we're so complete.
But I need to hear it start from you." Snape was desperately trying to pull himself away from Draco, and just as he had freed his hand and was going for his wand Draco threw his arms around Snape, pinning his arms to his side. The class was going blue in the face and Harry threw Hermione a thumbs up. Draco was now singing in an even more loud voice. He continued singing for a few minutes while Snape continued struggling. Half off the class was on the floor laughing and clutching their stomachs. Hermione was one of them.
"Somebody stop him!" yelled Snape over Draco's continuous singing. Nobody budged, including the Slytherins.
"Your body language says so much.
Yeah I felt it in the way you touch.
But till you say the words it's not enough."
C'mon and tell me your in love, please.
Then just like that he stopped singing. Draco looked around in the room in a half daze trying to locate the source off all the laughter in the room. Draco then looked straight up into Snape's face, then with a look of horror threw himself away from the angry Professor. The class was still in an uproar. Snape stalked towards the table that Hermione and Draco had been sharing and stopped right in front of Hermione. Uh oh, I am so busted, but it was so worth it.
"Miss Granger." Snape seethed, "Why did you not stop Mr. Malfoy from drinking the potion."
"Well sir," she started, "I told him not to but he said that Malfoy's were so strong that nothing could make them obey something, and before I knew it he had drunken some of the potion. Then he walked over to another slytherin table and started talking to them, so I'm guessing that one of them told him to do it." Draco then stumbled over to the table, clearly still under the effect of the obedece potion.
"That's not true Professor, she told me to drink it, she said we had to test the potion." He argued.
"No I didn....." She started.
"That's enough!" Snape bellowed. "Thirty points will be taken away from Gryffindor, ten from Slytherin for Mr. Malfoy listening to such a stupid idea, and Miss Granger you will have detention tonight at six o'clock under the supervision of Mr. Malfoy." And with that Snap stocked off towards his office, it was noticeable to anyone in the class that he was quite shook up about the little incident. With an evil smile Draco turned to face Hermione and said.
"That was a big mistake Granger, you just wait till tonight. I promise you it will be ten times worse then what you've done to me." And for once she actually believed him. What have I gotten myself into.
