Chapter Six: Snow Devil; A kiss from hell
Hermione Granger walked into the Great Hall early two weeks later and on a Monday. It seemed as if the as if the rest of the school was asleep, but the large stone fire places in the great hall were ablaze. With the warmth and the smells of wood stoves and winter time wafting to her it made her feel at ease. The ice crystals on the windows were gleaming with an aura of pinks and oranges as the last glimpse of sun rise died away. It was snowing outside and the charmed ceiling was letting down snow drops and they melted away and disappeared as the neared the tables. Breakfast was already out as if the elves knew she would be up at this time. She felt panged for them and wanted them to be freed all of them to be freed.
She walked over to the Gryffindor table and looked at the charming display of different foods. She grabbed a bagel and put some creamed cheese on it and took a bite, getting some of the whippy substance on the tip of her nose and the edge of her mouth. She felt the hairs on the back of her neck begin to rise and tingle with the fear of something happening; something that wasn't that good of a something. She looked around and didn't see anyone but she knew she was not alone.
"What are you doing here Granger?" Malfoy asked and walked over to where Hermione was. He had been standing in the darkness or the shadows and came out and watched her not answer him. She knew it was wrong but she never wanted to talk to him not without a 50 foot radius separating them. EVER! "Granger you Dolt of a bird! I asked you a simple question! Least you can do is be polite a-" Hermione didn't even give him a chance to speak. He didn't deserve it. He was never polite to her! He is an arrogant arse and she would rather see him hanging off the side of a cliff than have him lecture her about being polite!
"POLITE?" Hermione screamed and turned to face Malfoy rage boiling up inside her. "What the bloody 'ell makes you think you have the right to tell me to be fecking polite! You are an arrogant ass and I won't give a rat's ass about you!" She screamed and grabbed her grape juice looking at it as if it were her new best friend. "Meet my friend purple stained clothing!" She screeched and threw it over him.
"Well I like the color purple…" He said and coughed. "Well also, I never recall ever not being polite" He rubbed into her arm with his hand like he owned her. What the feck is going on? She thought and looked at him in utter disgust.
"You call me Mud Blood on a daily basis and...Also you batter me and friends around like we are the scum of the earth! And yet you think you were being polite to us? And don't rub against me! I don't want you to rub my arm like oh lets see your horny tom cat! If so, I think you are clearly mistaken!"
"What-you-huh? I never recall calling you those things Granger I mean it! If you recall it, it's what you say that counts against me! My word against yours, you pathetic scum-of-a" She interrupted him and laughed.
"Mud blood Malfoy? That what you were gunna say?" She laughed and began to walk away. "Think of it this way Malfoy I am not having the best of a day and you, you are the icing to the cake…hint take off the ICING! I hate you so bloody much! I loath you! I want to strangle you and through you to the lake! That what you wanna hear? It's how feel so go feck yourself!" Hermione hollered and grabbed her bagel and ate it on the way to the common room.
"GRANGER" she heard someone yell in a pissed off voice. She turned around to see Malfoy behind her. "Hermione" he cooed and smiled at her.
"Get away from me!" She screamed and began to run up the stairs…she feared him. She loathed him. He seemed drugged or else had some permanent damage done to his permanently damaged head.
"Oh lovey don't spoil the fun! Oh looky here 'ouve got 'ome prett'e lit'l hazel eyes there love! Yo' eyes belong in the 'eavens! With all of 'ose 'winclin' lit'l stars oll abo'!" Malfoy smiled at her and Hermione knew what was wrong. It was not drinks…it was nothing…nothing but something her mother called 'the devils hair' and what her father simply called dope!
"MALYFOY! Are you high?" Hermione said in confusion…what if he wasn't!? Her mind kept on skipping to that thought and it was scarring her very much.
"Well of course I am" He staggered over to her like a drunken pirate. "I am high on life, love and well…Oh love you look so pretty! Nice hair…nice and thick…I want to make a mattress out of it!" he said and Hermione noticed it was really really true. He was high. He was insane. He was going to be the next ghost of hogwarts if he didn't watch out! He stumbled forward and she could feel him breathing on her she didn't smell anything on his breath and knew it must have been a spell. A very wrong spell. "Heard you got an admirer wanting to shag to you; well, bad news for me…I'm not the bloke…wish I was," he giggled and she knew her mind was not failing her. She knew he was on something, something strong.
"Oh bloody you smell d-" Hermione began to say he smelled dead. He smelt like dead rats or mice. Not like what a teenaged boy should smell like. He was such a slob these days it was a shock. She never had time to speak; she was interrupted by him leaning over and kissed her. That is the last straw! She thought and glared at him. "What is your problem? I said NO horny tom-cat syndrome!" She screamed and shoved him. "Touch me again and you are dead Malfoy" Hermione said taking out her wand and pointing it at his Adams apple.
"Don't bloody kill me" he said in a rough voice and she saw fear in his eyes. "Oh bloody" he mumbled and tried to stalk off. But before he could stalk off Ron and Harry were at Hermione's side. And Hermione had cast a body binding spell on him.
"HERMIONE? What are you doing? Are you trying to get points docked?" Harry asked concerned and scarred at the same time.
"No" Hermione stated and turned around to walk up the stairs. She didn't want to tell them why. But she knew she would have too sometime soon they would wonder why she left him there on the stairs lying there frozen. "Life is so confusing" she sighed as she reached the next landing. She looked down and saw Ron and Harry right behind her.
"Why's life confusing?" They asked in unison and walked up the stairs listening as Hermione told them all what happened.
"HE DID WHAT?" Ron yelled as they reached a few feet from the third landing from where Malfoy lay. He ran down the stairs as fast as he could.
"RON!" Hermione screamed and ran after him grabbing his arm. "Ron no, please don't do anything." She said and let a tear fall. "I never wanted it to happen but I did warn him, and I did mean everything I said. I t-tried to d-defend you guys" she said and the tears fell down. "I-I don't want anything to happen really, I mean if we hurt him we will be expelled!" She said through sobs.
"Hermione, this doesn't excuse what he did!" Ron said pulling her into a hug. Hermione would never tell but she wouldn't mind if he kissed her, but he would never know. It would ruin their friendship. It would ruin everything. "I won't forget this, I won't let it go, but I will try…to get over wanting to kill him" Ron mumbled into her ear and squeezed her tight.
"He will just be a demon in my mind, for ever." Hermione said and looked at her feet. "The first guy who was an ass to me got zany and tried to kiss me…and I shoved him and cast a body binding spell on them." Hermione sighed and began to laugh. "Hope that never happens again" she smiled and looked up at Ron eyes gleaming.
"Lets go" Harry said walking towards them and they walked off to the library and began to read. Today was a day to study, to study for something the school now required. It was called Practise exams.
"Okay this does…"Hermione mumbled and she helped Ron and Harry to learn what they needed to know by the end of the week for Friday's exams. By the end of the day they were ready for the exams and they still kept studying.
"I have to go" Ron said and got up and walked out of the door. Hermione looked up and saw him walking towards the owlry.
"Harry, do you mind…I have to go and send my mum a letter…can I borrow hedwig?" She asked and smiled as he said yes. She walked in the direction of the owlry and saw Ron step in. She opened the door a few minutes later and saw him letting out a school owl and it flew and soared out of the open window.
"Hey Ron" She smiled and walked forward. "Whatcha' up to?" She asked as she grabbed hedwig off of her peg. "Good girl" She sighed and gave her the address to send the letter to.
"Sent h-Hilda, my cousin a letter. It's her birthday tomorrow" he smiled and looked over at Hermione. "What are you doing here?" he asked calmly?"
"Mum, I asked her how she was." she smiled and looked up… "I told her a lot of things that I really needed to tell her" she said and left the room right before a piece of poop landed where she had been.
