Chapter 10: The Potion
The students waited outside of the Potions classroom for class to start. Ron and Harry were talking about the Gryffin and why it was here. The bell rang and Snape opened the door. The students scurried to their seats and sat down in silence.
"Today," Snape began. "You will be testing your potions from last week. When I call your group, you will come up and try your potion."
Oh great, Hermione thought. I have to have Malfoy and Jones prying around in my thoughts.
Harry's group went up first. Harry, Goyle and Pansy drank their potion. Snape asked them to say one thing that the other two members of their group were thinking.
"Pansy's thinking that Malfoy looks hot today and Goyle is thinking about the sausage he had for breakfast this morning," Harry told Snape. Pansy and Goyle told Snape theirs and sat down.
Ron's group went next. Ron said that Blaise was thinking that Pansy was an idiot. The class laughed but Pansy snarleld like some sort of ugly sick dog.
After Ron's group Neville, Dean and Seamus went. About ten seconds after they drank their potion the three of them turned green, sprouted bunny ears and started croaking like frogs.
Snape took 15 points from Gryffindor and sent the boys to Madame Pompfrey.
"Malfoy, Jones and Granger. Your next," Snape snapped.
The three sulked up to the front of the classroom. Hermione sniffed their potion. Here goes nothing she thought then gulped it down.
Hermione felt a rush of coldness run through her veins.
+ that was cool +
* great. I have to spend a whole hour with two idiots in my head +
~ you know you like it ~
Zach told Snape about Draco and Hermione's thoughts.
"Malfoy your turn," Snape said.
"Jones is thinking about how bad he wants Granger," Draco twitched while he said that. The class started to laugh. "And Granger is thinking about how much she wants to kill Jones."
"Granger your turn."
"Jones is thinking about," Hermione's face grew white with sickness. "About snogging me." The Gryffindor's and the Slytherin's looked disgusted after she said that. "And Malfoy is thinking about how much he wants to wring Jones' neck."
"Good. You three sit down."
The bell rang and the Gryffindor's headed to Transfiguration.
+ Granger +
* Shut up *
+ Why? +
~ Jones shut up ~
"Pansy's disgusting," Harry said. "Ah! She wont stop thinking about Malfoy."
"Sorry Mate," Ron said patting Harry's back.
They got to Transfiguration and sat down in the front of th class.
"Good morning class," Professor Mcgonagall started. "Today you will learn how to transform a frog into a cat."
Mcgonagall started to explain the procedure of the spell. Hermione was trying to listen but was failling miserably.
~ I hat Pansy. I hate Pansy ~
+ I want Granger. I want Granger +
~* SHUT UP *~
"'Mione you okay?" Ron asked with a concerned look.
"I'm fine," She answerd through clenched teeth.
+ Granger I have a surprise for you +
* Bloddy hell. WHAT *
+ I messed around a little with our potion +
~* What *~
+ I added extra beattle legs so we can read eachothers minds longer +
~ How much longer ~
+ Until midnight tonight +
"WHAT!!!" Hermione screamed while jumping out of her seat. The whole class was staring at her. Harry was in shock and Ron looked like he was about to have a heart attack. Neville who was in front of her was now on the ground looking worriedly at her.
"Professor Mcgonagall, I need to go see Madame Pompfrey," Hermione said as she held her forehead.
"Allright dear, you may go," Mcgonagall replied with one eyebrow arched.
Hermione ran out of the classroom and down the halls to her dormatory.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Draco's POV
"You did WHAT!!!" I yelled at Jones.
"Mr. Malfoy, is something wrong?" Professor Flitwick asked.
"Yes Sir. Can I please go see Madame Pompfrey?" I asked as politely as I could. I had a splitting headache.
"I suppose," Flitwick awnserd.
I left the room as fast as I could and headed strait for my dormatory. I was just rounding the corner to the fifth floor when I ran right into someone.
End POV
---------------------------------------------------------------
The two people hit eachother and fell to the ground.
* Ow, my head *
"Granger? What the hell are you doing?" Draco asked while getting up.
"Runnig away."
"From what? Potty and Weasel?'
"From my headache stupid!" She shouted at him.
"So you have one too huh."
+ What the hell are you two doing together +
~* Shut up *~
+ Um... No +
"He's really pissing me ahhh," Hermione fell to the ground holding her head. "Ahhhhhhh!"
"Whats with you Granger?" Draco asked while cocking an eyebrow.
"Malfoy, get......." Before Hermione could finish she blacked out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione woke up but didnt open her eyes. She could hear voices around her.
"Is she allright?"
"What did you do to her?"
"What the hell happend?"
That was enough. Hermione's head was killing her and she couldnt take anymore of this. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed that she was in the hospital. She sat straight up.
"What the...owww," Hermione layed back down.
"'Mione you allright? What happend?" Ron asked while holding her hand.
"She passed out. Now move away from her!" Padame Pompfrey yelled at the people around her.
Hermione looked around and noticed that Harry, Ginny and Malfoy were also there. She gave Draco a weird look but was snapped back by Pompfrey.
"Now Miss Granger, can you please tell me exactly what happend before you blacked out?"
" Well I..." She stopped in mid sentence due to a voice in her head.
+ Granger. Granger. Where are you Granger? +
"Ahhhh!" The pain was ten times worse for Hermione now. She grabbed her head with one hand and reached out and grabbed Ron's hand with the other and squeezed as hard as she could.
"Ahhhh!" Draco was now on his knees holding his head.
Pompfrey moved him and put him in the bed next to Hermione's.
"What is wrong you two? Please tell me so I can help you," Pompfrey begged while looking very worried.
"Ow! 'Mione that hurts. Ow!" Ron was on his knees while Hermione squeezed his hand even harder.
+ Owwww +
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Draco and Hermione were both screaming along with Ron.
"Whats wrong with them?" Ginny asked worriedly. She was clutching Harry's arm. Harry just stood there. He didnt know what to do.
"Jones...Potion," Hermione managed to say through clenched teeth.
"You two," Pompfrey said looking at Harry and Ginny. "Go get Dumbledore and Professor Snape immediately. And hurry!"
About 15 minutes later Harry and Ginny came in followed by Dumbledore, Snape and a levitated Jones.
"What is it Poppy?" Dumbledore asked while going to her.
"Miss Granger said something about Mr. Jones and a Potion. Is that Mr. Jones?" Pompfrey asked while looking at Zach who was now on the bed next to Draco.
"Yes it is," Dumbledore replied.
"We found him on the sixth floor holding his head," Harry said.
"Owww!" Ron yelled.
"Stop thinking! Stop thinking!" Hermione screamed while flailing around on the bed.
"Ah. I know whats wrong," Snape started. "The students tested a mind reading potion today. It should have worn off at least two hours ago." He finished while pacing in front of the beds.
"Our's," Harry said while pointing to himself and Ron, "wore off already.
"So these three must have been partners. That would explain why they are the only ones feeling this," Dumbledore stated.
"I said stop thinking!" Hermione screamed again.
"'Mione! Let GO!!!" Ron yelled trying to loosen her grip. It wasn't any use though.
"Jones added extra beattle legs!" Draco said fast while yelling.
+ Shut up +
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" The three screamed again.
"He did what?" Snape stopped dead in his tracks.
"How long will it take to make a reverse potion for this Severus?" Pompfrey asked.
"About three days," Snape answerd while pacing again.
"Thats too long," Pompfrey said with worry in her voice.
+ This is bloody great. Stupid Snape. He's useless +
"Ahhhhhhh!" Hermione screamed extremly loud. She was balling now. Draco's eyes were watering and Zach and Ron both had tears running down their faces.
"Albus, we must do something."
"I know Poppy. I have an idea." Dumbledore walked over to the front of the three beds.
"This is goign to hurt you three but it must be done," Dumbledore said in a soft but stern voice. He pulled out his wand and said some words that nobody understood. Three shots of gold came out of his wand and hit Hermione, Draco and Zach in the head.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" The three were twitching horribly and screaming a spine chilling scream. About 15 seconds later they stopped. The room went silent.
All of the sudden Hermione jumped out of her bed and lunged at Zach. She was on top of him strangleing him. Draco just sat there and watched with amusment. After all, Jones deserves it he thought. Snape however.
"Miss Granger release him at once," Snape groweld while dragging Hermione off of Zach.
"I have never been in so much pain in my life! I'll kill you!" She screamed at Zach. "Let me go!" She was kicking and flailing her arms around trying to get Snape to let her go.
"Hemione stop," Harry said while grabbing her from Snape who was now pissed.
Dumbledore just stood there watching and Draco was trying really hard to hold back laughter. Ron was on the floor holding his hand, Ginny was helping Harry with Hermione and Zach was massaging his throat.
"Thats enough!" Pompfrey squealed."You three," She said pointing to Draco, Hermione and Zach, "drink all of this. It will help with any leftover pain."
The three drank the potion. Hermione gulped her's down, despite the awful taste and smell, she never took her deadly glare off of Zach.
Pompfrey was now helping Ron with his hand.
"Oww!" Ron yelled. Everybody, including Hermione, turned to face him.
"Hush Mr. Weasely," Pompfrey said while examining his hand. "Well Mr. Weasely, you have three broken fingers and severel deep cuts from Miss Granger's fingernails."
"Oh Ron. I'm so so sory," Hermione said with concern.
"It's okay 'Mione."
Pompfrey fixed Ron's hand.
"You are going to have a few scares Mr. Weasely but nothing to fret about."
"Yes Mam."
"Hum hum," Dumbledore started. "Now that everyone has setteled down," He glanced at Hermione and winked, "I believe that a punishment is in order. Mr. Jones, seeing as how you are the cause of all this I will be sentencing you to a month of detention with Mr. Filtch and I will be taking 100 points from Slytherin. Is that understood?"
"Yes sir," Zach mumbeld. Draco was now seriously considering strangleing Zach, finishing up what Hermione couldn't.
"Good," Dumbledore said. "Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Jones and Miss Granger I want you three to go back to your dorms for the rest of the day and rest. Your dinner and homework will be brought up to you. The rest of you will return to your classes."
"Yes Sir," They all mumbeld.
