For 2 weeks I didn't speak to him. When we saw each other in the common room it was awkward silence.

"Hermione are you alright?" Harry looked at me with concern.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I buttered my biscuit.

"You seem upset" Ron said grabbing a muffin. I shrugged not really answering their questions.

"Today's our big surprise" I said changing the subject.

"Surprise?" Ron scratched his head.

"Oh right I forgot you weren't in my class Ronald" I didn't even stop for a reaction "Were making an advanced potion in class today" I said excitedly.

"Oh" Ron made a sour face. "How exciting". I ignored him. I wasn't going to let him ruin my day. This potion was something I had been looking forward to since Snape announced it.

"Well I'm off" I got up and looked at the boys. "By the way where is Rachel?" I asked. They pointed at the Ravenclaw table. Rachel was sitting next to Henry smiling.

"They switch" Harry said.

"What?" I was confused.

"One day he sits here and then she sits there" Ron replied. He looked a bit pissed off. I noticed him eyeing Henry carefully.

"Ron stop staring at them" I joked.

"I'm not" he said defensively.

"Sure whatever" I rolled my eyes. His ears turned a bright shade of red. Rachel glanced over and saw me looking over. She smiled and waved. I winked at her and turned to walk down to potions.

"Today we are starting a very difficult and dangerous potion" Snape swept in to the room. I listened carefully. Malfoy, Parkinson, and there cronies were behind me not even paying attention. "This potion enables you to travel back in time to a specific point in your life where you felt a great deal of pain or misfortune" he smirked. I shifted around in my seat. This wasn't going to be good.

"The ingredients are on the board please walk up and look at the paper up there which shows who you are partnered with" everyone groaned. I scooted out of my seat and headed over to the board. I ran my finger down the paper and stopped at Granger then I ran my finger across horizontally. Oh no. Not again.

"Mrs. Granger" Snape interrupted my thoughts.

"Yes professor?" I asked politely. He looked around and then leaned in.

"Miss Granger you don't have to complete this potion Dumbledore has given you the 'okay' to sit it out" he said in a low voice. I knew exactly why he said this. I thought about it for a moment actually considering missing a potion this rewarding to learn. I couldn't let my past run my life.

"I'll be fine" I said blankly. He looked a bit uneasy but nodded. I turned around to walk to the cabinet but instead crashed into a very large ferret.

"Move Malfoy" I said dusting myself off. He looked me up and down.

"What was that about?" he asked. DAMN he really did have good hearing.

"Nothing it doesn't matter" he didn't seem to believe me.

"Please, you were actually considering not doing it" he smirked. "It has to be something big to stop bucktooth Granger from getting brownie points with the teachers" he said making an impression of me enthusiastically raising my hand.

"Stop being nosy. Now look lets just get through this potion" I walked to the cabinet. After gathering everything I needed I headed over to my desk and placed everything neatly.

"Hello...Granger" Malfoy called from behind me. I turned and looked at him motioning to the seat beside him then looked at his face. I turned back around and sat down. I heard him grunt and hear a few "Ow's" coming from the people around me. No doubt Malfoy stepping on their feet. He plopped down beside me. Snape cleared his throat.

"The way this will work is this" He paused and looked around. "You and your partner will brew it together fallowing the steps on the board. When you are done you are to put the cauldron on simmer and take your trilly weed. This is the tricky part. You have to take a lock of your hair and wrap it around the stem of the plant. Then take another piece and roll it. Make sure to throw it in at once. This will allow you to come back to the present time. When you and your partner both do this you will then throw it into the cauldron. It will let out a foul odor and you will start to feel drowsy" He stopped when he saw me raise my hand. "Miss Granger" he said impatiently.

"Is there a certain amount of time we will be there?" I asked.

"If you let me finish I would have explained that" he snarled then continued "The potion will take you to one memory. The way this works is whoever's memory is more powerful .You or your partner. Once in that memory you will be free to browse around but YOU MUST NOT BE SEEN" he said loudly. Everyone nodded. "You can examine your memory and notice things you probably didn't before that is the point of it. Now to get back you simply hold hands with your partner and squeeze this" he said holding up a handful of pendants. He walked around and passed out one to each pair. I studied mine. It was a Lion and serpent intertwined. Suddenly Malfoy snatched it form my hand.

"Sure you can see it" I said sarcastically and turned back to Snape.

"Alright you can start. Make sure you come back quickly if you are in danger" he said and sat down. I lit up my cauldron and added the ingredients carefully. It took about 10 minutes because of Malfoy butting in every five seconds. When I was done I ripped a few strands of my hair off. Malfoy fallowed and grabbed his trilly weed. After wrapping it around I rolled the other piece and put them down on the table.

"I'll wear the pendant" I said taking it from him. He snatched it back.

"I want to wear it" he spat. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine wear the necklace I don't care" I said and looked around. Students were disappearing slowly. I turned back around. "Ready?" I asked.

"I already threw mine in so whenever you decide to" Malfoy yawned. I stuck my tongue out at him and looked at the cauldron. Every ounce on me was hoping Malfoy had an amazingly strong thought or memory. I took a deep breathe and threw the trilly weed in. A sudden wave of tiredness swept over me. I fell over into someone's arms. Everything went black and...BOOM.

"Wake up" I felt a poke in my ribs.

"Not yet... me sleepy" I pouted. Then I remembered everything. Potions...memory....Malfoy. I shot up. At first it was all blurry then I saw a familiar pair of silver orbs staring down at me.

"About time" he said looking down at me sitting on the floor. "Well were still in the school and its midday so I'm not sure whose memory this is" he paced around. He was right. I was sitting on the floor of the Potions room which was empty. I slowly got up. There was something not right about this. I walked towards the door and carefully opened it. The hallway was empty.

"Weird" I whispered shutting the door.

"Care to share?" Malfoy asked.

"Its midday and there's no class....not a single sole in the hallways either" I looked at him confused.

"Well there's only a few times that this happens...Halloween, Christmas, The Triwizard tournament..." he scratched his head.

"And...." My eyes widened. Oh no. There was low voices' coming closer. I shoved Malfoy into the closet.

"Ouch what the-" I covered his mouth.

"Harry if we get caught we'll be expelled" I heard myself say.

"Oh you and you fear of being expelled" Ron teased. Tears built up in my eyes. My worse nightmare came true.
