Chapter 5: Potions

Hermione woke up the next morning with the sun shining in her face. She got up and stretched with a light moan. She walked down to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Just like the rest of the place, the bathroom was amazing.

The bathtub was the size of a medium swimming pool and was located in the middle of the room. The shower was made of glass and was big enough for at least three people. It was located in the left corner of the room along with a rack of green and red towels and a green and a red bathrob hung above it. The toilet and the sink were located at the right end of the room.

Hermione took her shower then got out and wrapped a towel around herself. She opened the door and of course Draco was standing in her way.

"Move Malfoy," She snapped.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. That wasn't very nice Granger," He looked her up and down. "By the way, nice towel," He said with a nasty smile on his face.

Hermione looked down and realized she was wearing a green towel.

"Thanks. Greens my favorite color," She said proudly. "Now move."

Draco stepped aside and as Hermione walked past him he slapped her butt.

Smack. She slapped him.

"Don't EVER touch me again!" She yelled running up the stairs.

"Stupid mudblood!" He yelled back at her.

**********************************************

Hermione got dressed. Her uniform wasn't baggy like it used to be. Her white shirt(the sleeves rolled up a little before her elbows) and vest clung to her perfectly and her skirt went to the middle of her thighs. She wore thigh high black nylons and black platform dress shoes. She left her hair down and for her makeup she wore a grayish silver eyeshadow with black mascara and clear lipgloss.

Hermione grabed her bag and robes and headed down stairs. She put her things on a chair and went to brush her teeth.

************************************************

Draco was in his room getting dressed.

"I know she liked it when I slapped her butt," He thought outloud. "I mean who wouldn't, I'm Draco Bloody Malfoy for Merlins sake. Every girl wants me."

He heard Hermione's door close and looked out his balcony to watch her. She walked into the bathroom and was brushing her teeth. The only reason he could see her was because the bathroom ceiling is glass.

"Bloody hell. She's even hot in her unifrom." He thought. Wait. What the hell am I thinking. She's a mudblood which means she's ugly. He hit his forehead with the palm of his hand and headed down stairs with his bag.

***********************************************

Hermione walked out of the bathroom put her robe on and grabbed her bag.

"Hey mudblood." Draco yelled at her.

Hermione just rolled her eyes and walked out of the portrait hole.

************************************************

"Hey 'Mione. Hows it going?" Ron asked her as she sat down next to Ginny and across from Ron and Harry at the Gryffindor table.

"It's going horrable thats how its going! Ernie Macmillan's family moved. So now I have to live with that good for nothing Draco Malfoy!" Hermione yelled loud enough for everyone around them to hear.

"Oh Hermione, I am so sorry." Ginny said with a shocked face from Hermione's outburst.

"Yeah 'Mione. That sucks," Harry replied.

Ginny noticed Ron's face going quite red and his fists clenched.

"Ron, whats wrong," She said worriedly.

"You have to live with Ferret Boy!" He yelled. "I swear, if he lays a finger on you I'll kill him!" Ron was very upset, very red and standing at this point.

"Ron, calm down," Hermione said quite surprised, though flattered."He would never touch me. You know what he thinks of me." Ron started to calm down a little.

"But Hermione look at you, he won't be able to help himself," Rons temper was rising again.

"Really Ginny, it's quite all right," Hermione assured her. She deffanitly thought it best not to say anything about what Draco did to her this morning.

**********************************************

The three walked down to the dungeons for Potions. They got there just as the bell rang. Professor Snape opened the door and they quickly went to thier seats. The door closed with a bang and the class went quiet immediatly.

"Today we will be making a mind reading potion which will allow you to read your partner's mind for 1 hour. We will be testing this in a couple of weeks." Snape said coldy just like always. " I will be pairing you up in groups of three. Crabbe, Weasely, and Zabini......Goyle, Parkinson and Potter..... and so the list went on until the last three were left. Granger, Draco and Zach Jones. "Now get started."

Hermione walked to the back of the classroom and sat on the left side of Draco and Zach sat on her left side.

Hermione was preparing to put the last ingredient in the potion when she felt a hand moving up her left leg. She jumped and ended up pooring a lot more dragons blood in their potion then they needed.

"Look what you made me do and how dare you touch me," Hermione whisperd deadly to Zach.

"I have no idea what your talking about," Zach said with a cocky laugh.

"Granger."

"What!" Hermione snapped turning to Draco.

"Is the potion suppose to be doing that?"

Hermione turned her head quickly to the potion. Her eyes grew wide.

"Um...no it's not. I suggest we duck."

But it was to late. Before they could do anything there was an explosion and the three went flying back hitting the wall.

"Are you three okay?" Snape came running up to them.

"Yes." The three mumbeld.

"Good, that way you three can join me in detention Friday night. Also, 20 points from Gryffindor and 40 points from Slytherin since there are two of you." The bell rang

"Get off of me!" Hermione was frantically pushing Draco and Zach off of her. Harry and Ron went to help her up.

Pansy came running over to Draco grabbing his face and kissing him all over.

"Oh Drakie Poo are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Now get off me!" He yelled while pushing Pansy away. He stood up, brushed himself off and stormed out of the classroom. Pansy and the rest of the posse following.
