Chapter 2: Live Suspense
Hermione found herself woken up by Harry.
"Hermione, Hermione, you're going to be late for class!"
Harry started shaking her, causing Hermione to wake up. She rolled out of her bed onto the floor, clad in only her nightgown. She opened her eyes, spotting Harry.
"Hermione, I didn't see you yesterday, did something happen? Were you in the Hospital Wing?"
Hermione stood up, wiping the dust off of her gown.
"Actually… yes." she lied. She had wanted to talk to Harry yesterday, but she had been too afraid. She looked around, pretended to fall down on her bed in pain. "Yes. I… twisted… my arm…" Hermione felt worried. She couldn't lie to Harry.
"Oh my gosh. I pushed you out of the bed with a twisted arm! How did that even happen?!" Harry took her hand, raising her up from the floor.
"Oh, well, I… was… Well, I knocked it against the wall accidentally." She smiled at Harry, heading toward the bathroom. Soon later, Hermione seated herself in her regular spot for Snape's class. She looked at the seat to her right where Harry was seated. Glancing to her left, she spotted Ron playing with his wand. Again. She realized that he was muttering something under his breath, his wand pointed at… at… Snape stomped into the classroom and Ron gave a quick jump, settling back to his waving.
All of a sudden, there was a small noise, and she found her Potions Master in mid-air. All the students cried out in surprise. Hermione, also in shock, was worried but nevertheless happy that Professor Snape was getting his well-deserved humiliation.
Everybody started looking about, shouting "Wingardium Leviosa!"
Soon after, she saw Harry now floating also, everybody waving their wands all about, and Hermione started floating also.
"EVERYBODY LOWER THEIR WANDS THIS INSTANT! NOW!!!" Snape shouted, pointing at their wands waving in unison. Everybody returned to the ground.
"Ow, ow, ow!!! I dead! I'm dead!!!" Draco started wiggling around on the floor, moaning miserably.
"Draco sounds like Drano!!!" Seamus screamed. And he did. With his sucking noises he sounded like a fish immersed in too much water. Or a toilet, which had just exploded. Draco passed out, due to mere fright, and was taken to the Hospital Wing.
After dismissal, Hermione walked over to her head-girl's dormitory. She sat down in the common room, glumly lighting a fire with her wand. Bored of just sitting there, she decided to do her rounds.
"Oh, shove off Weasley!" Hermione heard Draco's voice echoing through the halls.
She turned around until she had reached another part of the hall, still hearing the argument between Draco and Ron.
"Maylfly!" Ron stuttered.
"You called me Maylfly? Well I'll show-" Draco aimed his hand at Ron, but before he could, Hermione walked into the scene, her wand pointing at Draco.
"Oh, mudblood. Nice of you to join us." Hermione approached him, her wand raised.
"Go somewhere else Drano!"
Draco started laughing, but instead Hermione aimed her wand at him. "Locomotor Mortis!" Draco exclaimed a sudden scream, falling down.
She led Ron outside of the great hall, leaving behind a very leg-tied Draco.
"Hermione, thank you!" Ron gazed gratefully at Hermione. Oh, great. Hermione knew that look. Ron liked her. Oh no…
