Chapter 1
Ron eyed Harry over the brim of his goblet. Harry had this sort of goofy-dazed look on his face, and he was staring off somewhere. "What in the bloody hell is he staring at?" Ron wondered to himself. "Harry, what are you looking at?" Harry jumped at the sound of Ron's voice.
"Uhh…nothing," Harry mumbled, "just thinking." Ron looked in the direction Harry had been looking and came eye-to-eye with none other than Draco Malfoy. As soon as their eyes met Draco turned away. This whole situation seemed very peculiar to Ron, but he quickly dismissed it and butted right into Harry and Hermione's discussion.
"Huh?" he interrupted. He gazed at Hermione's scowl. He'd never noticed how much she'd developed over the summer. What was he saying? This was Hermione, Herm, he was talking about. His thoughts were interrupted by Hermione's voice.
"Ronald, maybe if you'd actually listen to people you would know Harry and I were discussing Snape's potion essay," she scolded. "Sometimes I honestly don't know what to do with you." Glancing at her watch, she abruptly stood up bumping the table slightly. I've go to go! I'm going to be late for class. With her robes flowing, Hermione exited the Great Hall.
"What was that all about?" Harry asked. Ron just shrugged.
"You know Herm."
"Yeah, come on we'd better go start that essay." They proceed to leave when Harry bumped into Draco.
"Watch where you're going Potter," he spat. Harry just rolled his eyes and followed Ron out. Back in Gryffindor House, Harry and Ron were just finishing their essays as Hermione came bursting in.
"Come on or we're going to be late for potions!" They scrambled to get their things together and hurried to class. They met Snape just as he was about to close the door.
"How nice of you to join us," Snape said. They took their seats, and Snape began. "Alright class, let's have your essays and then we're going to start a new potion." Snape shuffled to collect the papers. "And now the moment you've all been waiting for," he chuckled. "Partners, let's see, Granger and…Wesley, Potter and…Malfoy." Snape continued pairing as Draco made his way toward Harry.
"You'd better not screw this up Potter!" Draco smirked as he elbowed Harry. Harry just scowled and listened to Snape's instructions. As he began to gather the materials he dropped one of the vials. It fell to the floor and shattered.
"Potter!" Snape bellowed. He stalked over to Harry and Draco's table. "What is the meaning of this?" Draco chuckled off to the side. What seems to be so funny Mr. Malfoy? Maybe a nice detention would help you be more considerate and you Potter, less clumsy. "I'll see you two after class."
