Chapter Eight
In front of her stood a partially naked Malfoy. Her hands flew to her face covering her eyes. She just stood their stricken.
He smirked. "Like what you see? Well there's more coming up." He tugged at the waistband of his boxers and she screamed running out of the bathroom. She slammed the door shut and leaned against it her heart pounding like crazy. She had never expected to see Malfoy naked! Well not naked...Partially. She wished she had stayed longer and watched the rest of the show. She mentally slapped herself for thinking like that. She was better than that.She paced about her room thinking. I am going to get Malfoy back...But this is going to be a different revenge. He will definitely be surprised. To kill time she started unloading her things from the trunk. She put away her clothes in a large oaken chest which she had not noticed last night. She was an avid collector of all kinds of candles, and she had brought a duffel bag full of them. She pranced around the room putting her candles on the dresser, night tables, and desk. She opened up her bag of make up and laid it out on her dresser. Then she decided to pull some clothes out to wear under her robes. She pulled out khaki colored Capri's with tons of pockets and lace ups. Then she pulled out a khaki tank- top which had a sash on the side which hung down making it a really cute outfit. She had bought it with Lisa.After a half an hour she knocked on the bathroom door and since no one answered she went inside. It was steamy from Malfoy's shower. It had a marble floor, a shower to one side, and a Jacuzzi in the corner. The Jacuzzi was large; it had taps of what seemed like scented water and soaps. There was another door at the other end of the bathroom which she guessed was Malfoy's. She locked it. Then she took a shower. She finished by using the fluffy towels that were on the counter. She applied her makeup, changed and then went down to the common room. What had she made as a password last night? She didn't even remember she was so tired. Oh yes it was Pixie Dust.There was no one there. Thank God... She thought to herself. She slung her book bag over her shoulder which she had left in the common room last night and went down to the great hall. The great hall was abuzz with the voices and the laughter of the many residents at Hogwarts. Today in breakfast they would receive mail, eat, and get their class schedules. Hermione sighted Harry and Ron at their table talking animatedly to Neville and Seamus. Hermione took a seat between them. She quickly glanced at the Slytherin table and found two set of eye who also stared back. She looked away and started eating.Soon cries of the owls were heard and millions of the birds swooped sown carrying packages and landed next to their owner. An owl carrying the daily prophet arrived for Hermione. She quickly untied the prophet, and stuck a few knuts in the pouch hanging from the owls' legs. It swooped away. She unfurled the latest copy of the daily prophet. There was big headline news: The Dark Lord Kills 3 Muggles. Hermione looked at Harry who was reading over her shoulder. He had an angry and stern set face.Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome students. Your schedules will appear by you in a minute or two." Hermione's schedule appeared and she looked at it eagerly wondering what she had for her first day. First she had Herbology with the Hufflepuffs. She groaned double period potions with the slytherins! How am I going to put up with that git! She thought to herself. But then she remembered her revenge plan and she just smiled.Ron was groaning next to her. "Double potions with the slytherins! I'd rather babysit Hagrids Blast-Ended Skrewts...Maybe not." He added as an afterthought and shivered.
After breakfast was over they had an extra half an hour to gather up their things and then go to classes. Ron insisted on Hermione showing them her quarters. "Come on 'Mione!" Just show us how its like, Percy bragged the whole time he was there." So she consented and they went to her dormitory. "Has Malfoy been a pain?" Harry asked. "Not yet." She lied. If she told them then they would take her revenge for her. She wasn't about to let that happen."Wow!" Ron exclaimed as they entered the room. "I could get used to this." He said sinking down in one of the couches. Harry joined him. "Come on we have only fifteen minutes left let me show you room before its too late." Hermione said. They reluctantly got up and made their way to her staircase. "Wow you even have your own staircase?" Ron exclaimed. "This is probably the reason she worked so hard the last few years, to get an awesome dormitory!" Harry said and they both snickered."Wow cool room." Said Harry. Ron immediately went to check the bathroom out. "Whoa, I'm taking my showers here from now on!" Ron exclaimed. Harry went around the room sniffing her candles. "Ok let's go you guys it takes ten minutes to go the green houses!" Hermione exclaimed. They left the dormitory, Harry and Ron taking last glances of her quarters. When they made it to the green houses, the hufflepuffs were already there."Wow Hermione you look great!" Hannah Abbot a fellow hufflepuff exclaimed. Hermione beamed. Ernie Macmillan also came over and commented shyly. Harry and Ron kept on bursting out laughing. She gave them a disapproving look.Professor sprout came out and they learned about a strange plant called Venomous tentaculas which were dark red and spiky, they were like vines that would come out and try to bite you. Susan bones had to be rushed off to the hospital wing because one scathed her skin.
Herbology class ended, with many people sporting cuts. Hermione, Harry and Ron reluctantly made their way to the potion dungeons. The slytherins stood against the cold dungeon walls mocking them as they made their way to the classroom. The trio sat together in the back of the room hoping to go by unnoticed. Hermione saw Malfoy come in and sit a few rows ahead of her next to Pansy Parkinson. Snape entered the room."We are going to learn how to brew a boil curing potion. I will be assigning partners." He said giving the class that wicked smile of his. "Pansy Parkinson and Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter and Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle and Ronald Weasely, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. Hermione gave out an annoyed yelp which she quickly muffled. She made no move to get up. He was going to come to her, not the other way around. Malfoy turned around to see if she was coming and she raised her eyebrows at him. He got up and brought his things. He came over and sat down next to her."You may collect the ingredients from my desk that are written on the board. Malfoy got up but Hermione did first and she strode to the front of the room. Snape caught her on the shoulder. "Are you one of my students?" He said with an inquiring gaze. She glared at him and he stuttered "Ms. Granger?" Then he recomposed himself and said "Go and get the ingredients, stop procrastinating. Hermione rolled her eyes grabbed her ingredients then went back to her seat.They started crushing scarab beetles. After they brew the potion and stored it in a vial for Professor Snape to test, they went back to their seats. There were ten minutes left.
Draco had tried to make her comfortable by not staring at her, she seemed mad about what he had done in the morning. Besides he didn't want her to embarrass him with her witty remarks in front of the slytherins. He thought more about it but then he felt something warm on his thigh. He looked down and saw Hermione Granger's hand. He looked up shocked and saw a smile on her face.
