Mismatched Love

Chapter 2: First Day at Hogwarts

Hermione blinked as Pansy pulled open the curtains around her four-poster bed.

"Hermione!! Come on! We're going to be late!! I don't want to miss breakfast!! Starving to death here!!" Pansy complained.

"Pansy, first get a hold of yourself. Second, why don't you go on a diet? You've put on too much weight ever since first year anyways." Hermione snapped as she stepped out of bed.

Flushing a deep red that was comparable to that of the Weasleys, Pansy kept quiet and left Hermione.

"Finally, I thought that idiot would never leave. One might almost think that she was stuck onto me with super glue." Hermione said out aloud in relief when she saw the retreating back of Pansy.

"Might as well get ready, it's not like I have much to do anyway."

Muttering a quick spell, Hermione zapped herself ready and paused for a while to look at herself in the mirror before heading down to the Great Hall.

(A/N: I was thinking of stopping here, but I figured it would be too short… :P)

Hermione calmly strolled into the Great Hall and she looked at the four tables comprising of the four different houses of Hogwarts.

She rolled her eyes and looked at the Hufflepuffs, your typical cheery and preppy idiots then the Ravenclaws, studious freaks who have nothing better do and lastly, Gryffindors, the worst of the lot who were always so irritatingly upright and virtuous.

She looked at the three houses in disgust and walked to her own house table. Pansy as usual was busy stuffing her face with pancakes. Crabbe and Goyle were staring at her like she was some sort of meat hanging in front of the display windows at the butchers. (A/N: Although Hermione is a Slytherin, she's still as smart as ever but she just doesn't show it.)

Hermione cursed inwardly and again questioned herself why she was stuck with the three greatest idiots in the world. She looked away from the three surrounding her and looked down at her timetable for that year.

She looked at the first lesson and felt herself cringe inwardly.

"Potions! We have potions for our first lesson of the year!?" she angrily muttered.

"Yeah, not that I mind it that much, but think about it we have to spend it with the… yucks… Gryffindors." Pansy said, finally managing to tear her attention away from the pancakes in front of her.

Hermione watched disgustedly as Pansy wiped her mouth on with the right sleeve of her school robe.

"Pansy you're disgusting! Stop wiping your mouth with your sleeve! You're making me puke!" Hermione said with utter disgust to the girl on her right.

"Sorry," she mumbled and looked slightly ashamed but before long she was busily gobbling down the pancakes again and as she did so she said, "Hey, I wonder if Snape has washed his hair this year?"

Hermione watched with disgust but ignored it as she replied, "Most probably knowing him, he'll hate to make a good first impression so his hair most likely is oilier than ever. At least he doesn't have lice, but then again his hair is so oily that no lice would want to live there!"

Pansy (with her mouth still full of pancakes) howled at Hermione's reply and everyone at the Slytherin table watched as bits of food from her mouth went flying into the faces of their fellow house mates.

Hermione rolled her eyes and excused herself from the table.

"I swear if I have to spend another day in her company, I might as well become a troll, but then even a troll has better manners than her!" Hermione thought as she left the Hall, taking a glance at the Gryffindor table, she spotted a certain red-head and looked in horror at his table manners and coiled in disgust. "I take back whatever I was thinking just now. Pansy's manners compared to his are so much better."

Walking down to the dungeons to her Potions class she stopped herself, "Why the hell am I even wasting my time thinking about those Gryffindors!? Yucks!" Hermione felt nauseated.

"Calm down Hermione, don't get upset over those lower beings. Calm down." She said quietly to herself and feeling slightly better, continued her walk to the Potions classroom.
