Harry headed to the hospital wing and was greeted by Madame Pomfrey. "Oh, hello Potter, its you. What did you manage to do to yourself this time?" she asked.
Harry gave her an annoyed look. "Really…I didn't provoke the issue this time…well actually I sort of did, but it's a normal type of injury this time," Harry answered sort of defensively.
"Well Potter, you going to tell me what's wrong so I can fix it?"
"Ah, I just hurt my shin pretty badly," he answered hoping not to get Ron into trouble.
"Alright, take a seat and I'll be back shortly with a potion for the soreness…but you'll just have to wait out the bruise, because it looks like its not from a magical inflicted injury."
Harry headed back to the great hall, hoping Ron didn't manage to eat all the food, even if the plate magically refill themselves. He got there, glad to see there was some food left, but sort of surprised to see how cuddly Ron and Hermione were being. He figured Ron must have already shoveled food into his mouth, because now, he wasn't even chewing with his mouth open. This made Harry feel extremely awkward seeing his two best friends together like this so he decided to sit next to Ginny instead.
As lunch was almost done, the trio started heading down to the dungeons for potions. They were going to be doing a fairly easy potion, or well by Snape's definition of easy. Harry mocked Snape after he said it, "All you dunderheads had better have perfect potions because honestly, a first year should be able to do it. The only reason they don't is some of the ingredients are quite rare." Harry added his own little tidbit here, of course they're rare, Snape probably used them all up when he was making the potion and messed up so many times!
Hermione gave Harry an odd look when he said that. Snape apparently heard when Harry said something. "Potter, do you care to share with the class what was so interesting that you were even able to distract Miss Granger?"
"No sir."
"Share Potter, or it will be 10 points off and a detention for talking in class."
"I was just saying (long dramatic pause with a big deep breath) that I hope I can finally get a good mark on a potion," he lied.
"50 points off for lying to a teacher."
Harry rolled his eyes at this, but knew better than to say anything.
Potions went on, but not far into it, Hermione was just sitting there, staring off into space for about a solid 30 seconds. Snape noticed and decided to find out. "So, Miss Granger, what might be so interesting as to distract you from your class work?" He asked in a jeering way, glad that he can finally give her a less than perfect grade, with a good reason this time.
"N-nothing…may I go to the restroom?" Not really waiting for an answer, she practically ran out.
Ron said, "I think she's going to be sick!" Ron and Harry got worried when she didn't come back the whole class, but collected all of her belongings at the end of the class and took them up to the Gryffindor tower and asked a girl to take them up to her room for her, since they didn't want to chance going up to the girl's dorm and getting into trouble.
The younger girl returned and said she left Hermione's stuff up there, but Hermione wasn't in there. They figured that she was probably just in the library, not even bothering to think that she didn't have any of her school work with her. They decided that they would just catch up with her later and find out what happened.
They saw Hermione in their next class, and she briefly thanked them for getting her stuff for her, but class started and she couldn't talk anymore then. So when dinner came, she said she'd explain about it later when no one was around. She really didn't want any word to get out that she was anything like Professor Trelawny. All she said was that it wasn't anything they needed to worry about now.
