a/n: You know, I always forget to tell you guys that I am a disclaimer, like you didn't know that! Some people might be a little out of character but, hey, it's my story! Get over it! Anyway, second installment, coming up! But first...
Jessica- Thanks for the review! I don't know how many chapters there will be because not all of this story is written, but oh well. Thanks again!
NitenGale- I'm glad you liked the first chapter. I wasn't sure if anyone would. By the way, if I do anything 'stupid' tell me! Okay?
Luthein- Glad to hear it.
zenni- I can't believe this! I have never gotten such a review! Thanks for reviewing!
"Miss Granger!" Hermione's head shot up as Snape's voice came crashing through her thoughts.
"Yes, Professor?"
"Now that you have finally decided to join the living, would you kindly answer my question?" Snape asked through gritted teeth.
"Uh..." It had been a week since Hermione's 'accident' but she still couldn't stop thinking about her savior. It was not making school any easier. Harry elbowed her and shoved a piece of paper into her hand. Hermione glanced at it quickly. "Oh, yes, polyjuice potion. It is a very complex potion which can turn the drinker into the person of their choice for one hour. That is, if it is properly brewed. It should also not be used for animal transformations." Harry and Ron chuckled.
"Very good, Miss Granger, three- no- two points to Gryffindor. Weasley!" Ron jumped. "Why is it important to know that the polyjuice potion should not be used for animal transformations?" Ron fought to keep a straight face.
"B-because the drinker could t-turn into an animal but they could be s-stuck that way for a while." Ron's face was turning red. Hermione gave him a sharp kick. He stopped laughing but Harry was now fighting to keep himself in his seat.
"Correct," Snape said slowly. "Potter!"
"Yes?" Harry chocked.
"What are some of the polyjuice potion's ingredients?"
"Uh, let me see...There are lacewing flies, leeches-"
"Bleck!" Ron snorted.
"-fluxweed, knotgrass, powdered horn of a bicorn, shredded skin of a boomslang, and, of course, a bit of whoever we want to turn into," Harry said matter-of-factly.
"Uh...I think I'm gonna be sick..." Ron certainly did look a bit green and he was swaying unsteadily on his chair.
"Aim the other way if you do." Harry laughed.
"Very funny..."
"That will do. Draco?"
"Yes, Sir?"
"Do you know anything about this potion?"
"Um, nothing, Sir."
"Oh brother, we have a lot of work to do," Snape sighed.
*
"Oh," Ron groaned. "I won't be able to stomach anything now and it's lunch time!"
"Just wait until we have to test it," Hermione said. Ron's face paled.
"Test it? What do you mean, test it?"
"I mean drink it. We'll be working on it for a while so I doubt that Snape would let all our hard work go down the drain. He will make us test it to see if we did it right."
"You mean we're going to have to go through all that again? We have to brew it and test it?" Ron gaped.
"Yes," Hermione answered. Harry looked at Ron, whose face was chalk white.
"Gang way!" Ron sped off, yelling and scattering groups of students everywhere.
"Ron, come back!" Harry and Hermione ran after him.
"I think he went to Moaning Myrtle's!" Harry yelled as he neared her door.
"I'm right behind you." Harry opened the door slowly, looking around.
"Ron, you in here?" Harry and Hermione edged into the bathroom. There was a loud fit of coughing and a sickening splash.
"Oh, wonderful. Now I've lost my appetite," Hermione moaned.
"Me too, wait outside. I'll make sure Ron's alright."
"Okay," Hermione said as she opened the door. Hermione closed the door and turned, running into something. She and the person she had run into landed on the stone floor. "Ow..." Hermione kept her eyes closed, even as the person next to her stood.
"You okay?" A deep male voice asked quietly.
"Yeah, I'm...fine." Hermione looked up and found Draco Malfoy staring down at her. Hermione started to get up.
"Here, let me help." He extended his head down to her. She looked at him suspiciously. "Aw, come on, I don't bite...much." He smirked. Hermione grabbed his hand hesitantly and he helped her up easily. Hermione was still looking at him oddly, as if expecting him to attack her. "Sorry," he said softly after a minute of silence.
"What?"
"I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Then again, neither were you."
"Well, I'm sorry that I didn't feel like puking."
'Did I really need to know that?' Draco asked himself. "What?" he asked, a bit confused and disgusted.
"Ron's sick."
"Hm..." Draco stood there for a moment in deep thought. "I knew I should have waited until tonight to feed him that poison." Draco shook his head and looked away before he could start laughing.
"What?! You poisoned him?" Hermione yelled.
"Maybe," Draco said, turning back around, smirking playfully.
"Yeah right! You don't have the guts to do anything like that!" Hermione retorted.
"Oh really? Just in case you didn't know, there are other ways to 'do in' a Gryffindor, Granger." Draco smirked again, turned on his heel, and left, humming merrily. Hermione stood there, staring at his now retreating form.
'Probably wouldn't bother poisoning Ron anyway. He'd poison me before he went to Ron.' Hermione thought silently.
"Hermione, I kinda need your help!" Harry's voice came from the other side of Myrtle's door.
"Coming Harry!"
*
"Oh, where is it?" Hermione dug her way through her trunk. She slumped down in a chair in the common room defeated.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" Harry asked as he came over and sat on the floor beside the fireplace.
"I lost my necklace. You know, the silver locket!"
"Why is it such a big deal? Go buy another!" Ron suggested, sitting across from Harry and sitting a chess board in front of him.
"You don't understand, Ron," Hermione answered. She watched as Ron started the game. "My cousin gave it to me."
"Get him to get you another. Problem solved!" Ron's bishop tackled Harry's pawn.
"He can't," Hermione muttered.
"Why?" Harry asked with his eyes still glued to the game. Hermione was silent.
"He's dead, morons!" Ginny glared at them for being so insensitive. Harry's head snapped up.
"I'll help you look for it, Hermione!" Harry jumped up and followed Hermione to the portrait hole.
"But what about our game?" Ron yelled.
*
"You're sure this is the last place you saw it?" Harry asked. They were all outside now, Ron grumbling.
"Yes," Hermione answered.
"Alright then, let's get started!" After only a few minutes of searching, Hermione came to an obstacle.
"What on Earth are you doing on the ground, Granger?" Hermione looked up into Draco Malfoy's surprised face.
"Groveling at your feet, of course," Hermione said sarcastically. Draco raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Where did that come from?"
"Oh please," Hermione stood to face him. "You act like you're a king. What else do you expect?"
Draco rolled his eyes. "I may act like a king, but a king usually gets what he wants," he whispered.
"Huh?"
Draco shook his head. "What are you doing?" He asked again.
"I'm looking for something."
"Like what?" He pressed.
"Why do you want to know?"
"You know me, I'm nosy." Draco shrugged. Hermione turned her back to him, still searching for her necklace. "Come now, what could it hurt?" Hermione sighed.
"It's a necklace. I lost it somewhere out here."
"The one with the silver locket?" Hermione looked up at him in surprise.
"Yes...How did you know that?"
"It's not very hard to miss. Anyway, see you later, Granger." Draco turned and walked away, humming to himself.
"What has gotten into that boy lately?" Hermione muttered, checking to see if anyone had seen Draco confronting her.
Well, let me know if you think it stinks. I don't mind being flamed...much. Please REVIEW!
I thank my God every time I remember you.
