"Ronald Weasly! Don't you dare copy my homework or I'll hex you into next week! How will you ever learn?!" Hermione grabbed her finished homework out of her friend's hands and put it in her bag.

"I'll study later, Hermione. Honest. I just need to get it turned in. Snape will murder me and Harry if we don't." Said Ron as he pleaded with his long time friend.

"Well you should have thought about that before you decided to go a whole weekend playing wizard chess. Honestly, there are more important things out there other than quiddich and foolish barbaric games."

Harry moved between his two friends before they started cursing each other.

"Alright Hermione, how about this. We won't copy. We'll work on it during breakfast and if we need help will you help us?" Harry asked.

Hermione looked at him in an untrustworthy way before she agreed.

"But NO copying." She said before they made there way down to breakfast.

They made it halfway through breakfast with no problems. They finished their work with time at the end to still talk about the quiddich game that would be played that evening. Hermione rolled her eyes at them and began to play with her food not hungry at all.

"Well well well, look at what we have here. Potty, Weasel ,and the Mudblood." Came a drawling voice from behind the three.

They all turned around with a sour look on their faces.

"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Harry.

"Just thought I'd take some of this food off of Granger's hands. I mean I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that she defiantly doesn't need anymore. I mean just look at her." He said with an evil smirk on his face.

Hermione stood up at this and pulled her want on him. The whole Great hall went silent as she stared daggers at him.

"Going to curse me Granger?" asked Malfoy trying to sound confident, his shaky voice giving him away.

"Say it again and I will." She said barely above a whisper.

Malfoy just smirked at her.

"You haven't the guts."

"Try me."

"Okay okay. Calm down, Hermione. He isn't worth it." Said Harry trying to calm her down.

Hermione slowly lowered her wand and turned to pick up her things.

"I told you that you didn't have the guts." Said Malfoy a bit louder.

At this Hermione turned around and slapped him hard across the face with as much strength as she could muster.

Malfoy stared at her taken aback. He stared at her as she ran out of the Great hall. He got angry as he felt all the eyes of the great hall on him.

"Are you just going to let her get away with that, Malfoy?" asked Goyle.

"NO," said Malfoy hotly, "she will pay. In time she will. I have a plan." Said Malfoy as he looked at his two dimwitted friends.

"What are you going to do?" asked Crabbe.

"Let's just say she will wish she never slapped me. Let's just say that she will wish she never stepped foot in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft in Wizardry."

Crabbe and Goyle just looked at each other in confusion as Malfoy left the Great Hall following the girl who just made him look a fool.
