Disclaimer: No I am most certainly not J. K. Rowling in disguise and if I
was I wouldn't be writing fan fiction I would be hurrying to think of plot
points for book 6! Oh and also none of the characters are mine ... although
I would like to borrow Draco for a bit :o)
Ron and Harry hurried down from lunch to make it to History of Magic in time. "I - don't - see - why - we have to - be on - time." Ron stammered in between breaths. "Ron I can't be late again or do you want to hear from Hermione on the 'importance of making it to a class on time unless you want to fail' speech?" Ron sighed and opened the door to the class and they took their seats, Harry next to Hermione and Ron on Harry's other side. Hermione gave Harry a quick kiss as he sat down and waved to Ron on Harry's other side. Ever since the beginning of summer they had been an item, making Ron a bit jealous but he never let on.
"Class there is an announcement I must make." Professor Binns announced in his regular monotone voice as he floated to the front. "I am assigning an 'End of the Year' project that will be due on June 1st and no later than that." Ron raised his hand. "Yes, Mr. Weasley?"
"I was wondering, since the term just started a month ago, shouldn't we be worried about 'end of the year' projects, well, at the end of the year?" He asked. "Well Mr. Weasley, I was just about to go over that. If you would wait just a moment I will. Now the topics are on your sheet in front of you. I have chosen partners for each of you because I find it particularly distracting when you are allowed to choose your own." He glanced in the direction of Lavender and Parvati.
"Now the reason why I am discussing this so early in the year is because it will take you all year to complete them. For the rest of class I would like all of you to look over the sheet and pick a topic. When you and your partner have chosen a topic you both agree on come up and tell me, then start brainstorming what you know already. Miss Brown will be with Mr. Longbottom, Miss Parkinson with Mr. Thomas, Mr. Weasley with Mr. Finnagin, Miss Patil with Mr. Zabini, Mr. Potter with Mr. Malfoy-" And the list went on. Ron smiled as his name was said, thankful that he wasn't stuck with a Slytherin. Harry looked over at Ron and Hermione, each giving him identical looks of sympathy. It seemed like his year had only just begun and his fate was sealed.
"And lastly, Miss Granger will be by herself." Hermione immediately went to work glancing over the topics on the list as Ron talked to Harry. "I'm really sorry but maybe you could ask Professor Binns about changing partners." Harry looked doubtful as to whether it would work. He glanced over at Malfoy who was flirting with a group of Slytherin girls. The whole sight made him sick. Malfoy sauntered over to Harry and didn't even sit down. "Pick any topic you want I don't really care. Just don't bother me right now."
"Malfoy we need to work together on this project, I can't do all the work." Harry seethed through his teeth. "As if I would trust you to, being as brainless as you are." Malfoy drawled. "Why if I left it up to you there is no way we would pass." The Slytherins snickered at this but immediately went back to work when Professor Binns looked up. Harry was infuriated but remained calm as he tried to talk to Malfoy. Meanwhile Hermione had picked her topic already. "Professor Binns I know what I want to work on." The Professor looked up as Hermione spoke. "The fall of Lord Voldemort is my topic."
"Very well Miss Granger now start brainstorming. However when you are done, there are various books in the back for your topic that you might go through." Hermione thanked him and sat back down.
(+)(-)(+)Later that night(-)(+)(-)
Ron and Seamus sat down in the common room together working on their 'brainstorming list' which had been required to turn in next class. Their topic was 'Creatures of the Past'. Luckily, Harry had finished part of the list and had handed it to Malfoy on the way out. He was worried however that Malfoy would blow him off and they would receive a zero for the first assignment of the project. Harry shrugged and sat by Dean Thomas to talk about Quidditch. Hermione was having problems of her own however. Every book she looked in either had not enough or irrelevant information. She sighed as she put her eighth book down and headed towards the portrait at the entrance to the common room.
"Hey 'Mione where you going?" Ron said as he saw her walk away. "Just going to find more research for my topic." She replied breezily and walked away. Ron shook his head as he thought about how much time she would be spending in the library now that she had a reason to.
~~
Hermione figured out the excuse that would give her the most amount of time to put her plan into action. Any book that was in the library would most likely be bias on the subject of Voldemort she thought. Of course she would know having read most of them before in her spare time. There was only one way that she could get information that would guarantee one hundred percent or above on her project, but it was not going to be easy. Hermione sighed as she thought about how long the detention was going to be if she was caught and decided to put that out of her mind at least until after she was finished.
She turned in the corridor heading towards the Headmasters office. She had gone over all the possible options she think of, on how to get information and for some reason this one kept popping up. "White Chocolate Frogs." Hermione almost whispered for fear that Peeves was lurking nearby. The statue immediately started moving and Hermione went up into Professor Dumbledore's office.
She trembled knowing she had a limited amount of time until he would return so she hurried to the one place she knew where she would find what she was looking for. "There it is." She said softly and reached under the Phoenix's perch. Soon she would know exactly what she needed to.
