Chapter 7: First Day of Classes.
After a couple more days of bonding Harry and Darla said their good-byes and Darla left for Grimmauld Place. Classes had started a few days ago since all the students had finally arrived. While sitting in the Great Hall Draco Malfoy noticed Harry sitting at the Gryffindor Table. "So it is true Potter? Do you actually have a girlfriend?" Draco yelled across the table.
"No, but if I did I wouldn't tell you anyways." Harry said standing up.
"Oh, isn't that cute. Potty has a girlfriend and he's embarrased of her." Draco spat back.
" Petrificus Totalius!" Yelled Hermione. Everyone turned and stared at her.
"What did you do that for?" Ron asked shocked.
"I'm just so sick of him getting into everyone elses business." Hermione said putting her wand back. Professor Snape, McGonagall, and Dumbledore walked over to the crowd of students.
"Ms. Granger my office now! Potter, Weasley what is the problem?" McGonagall said her face getting red.
"Well Malfoy kept taunting us. I don't know why Hermione stunned him though, something about getting fed up with him getting into our business." Harry said shocked, and annoyed.
"Well just because Mr. Malfoy can't behave doesn't mean you should. I hate to do this but 20 points from Gryffindor for all three of you. Potter go to Dumbledore's office, Weasley follow me." McGonagall led Ron to her office where Hermione was waiting. Harry went to Dumbledore's office.
"Harry I understand that you can't tell anyone about Darla, but I don't expect you or your friends to go around stunning students. No matter how much they deserve it. I'm starting to think that introducing you two might of been a bad idea." Dumbledore said walking into the office.
"I'm sorry. I had no idea that 'Mione was going to do that. Professor I promise I'll talk to Ron and Hermione and we won't go stunning people." Harry said.
" Ok then, I suggest you get to class." Dumbledore said watching Harry get up and leave the castle. Dumbledore then had a brillant idea.
Harry went into Charms and waited for Ron and Hermione to show up. It was obvious that Professor McGonagall was upset about what happened this morning. While lost in thought Ron took a seat next to Harry and started talking. " Well Hermione is in a lot of trouble they're thinking about giving her detention with Snape for three weeks. Draco's threatening to tell his father but no one's scared because he tells his father everything. I wonder what Dumbledore's up to though he walked into McGonagall's office and asked to speak to her privately. When they came back McGonagall was smiling and said that Hermione could go and that she would speak to her later."
" So where is she?" Harry said coming out of his daze.
" She went back to the common room, she's really upset. She's even thinking about apologizing to Malfoy. She's out of her mind, if I didn't I wouldn't apologize to him."
"Well, that's probably because you'd be afraid he'd curse the heck out of you." Harry said laughing.
" Yeah well, you'd you blame me?" Ron said looking over at Harry. Harry couldn't blame him at all, he knew that Malfoy would curse anyone who ticked him off. When the class ended Harry went to the Gryffindor common room to find Hermione. When he got there she was no where in sight.
"Hermione are you here?" Harry screamed up the girls dormitory.
"She went out, something about having to do the right thing." Ginny said coming down the stairs.
Hermione went walking down the hall. The Slytherins were suppose to have Defensive Magical Theory with the Ravenclaws. 'Classes end in a minute and he surely must be in there,' Hermione thought. Sure enough when the bell rang Draco and the others where the last ones out of the class.
"Mal-erm- Draco can I talk to you for a minute?" Hermione asked looking embarrased.
"I don't associate with mudbloods Granger." Draco said walking away.
"Please just let me say this, it's really important to me." Hermione said running after him.
" And I should care cause?"
" Look I just wanted to apologize for this morning. It was wrong of me, and if there's anything I could do to make it up to you please don't hesitate to ask." Hermione said stopping in the middle of the hallway.
"Mudbloods, they think they have to fix everything." Draco said storming off with Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise and Marcus Flint behind him.
