AN Easter Hols! Woohoo! Oh the glorious glee! Oh the magnificent madness!
Oh the horrific happiness! Oh the delighted dizziness! Oh the glamorous
giggliness! Oh the… nevermind. Thanks to my Mommy! For being the best Mommy
in the entire world in every possible way, and my Daddy, for being
sarcastic and loving chocolate. And my sisters, Michaela, for being such a
good confidante, and Susan, for being such a laugh.

Later that day. Third Person.
Hermione walked across the sprawling Hogwarts grounds towards Hagrid's hut. She saw Ron and Harry waving at her and waved back, forcing a smile.
"Hey guys!" She said as she reached where they and the rest of the Gryffindor 6th years were standing. They didn't look too surprised that she was blue, probably Parvati and Lavender had filled them in.
"Hermione, what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be in the infirmary? You're still blue." Harry stage-whispered at her, apparently thinking she had forgotten to look in the mirror. Hermione laughed.
"Don't worry Harry, I know I'm still blue. But I didn't want to miss classes, especially Care of Magical Creatures. I think we're studying Foogrants today, and they are really quite necessary to most…"
"Calm down. Typically, you didn't want to miss the Foogies, never would have guessed. I mean, Foogaws are very important to such and such as well as so and so!" Ron said, rolling his eyes. Hermione poked him in the ribs, scowling playfully (AN oxymoron!).
"Shut up Ronniekins. It's Foogrants, not Foogies or Foogaws. And they are very important to potions such as Carsheara or Typilan. Their language is used in most potent incantations and since only they can speak it, it is vital to the wizarding community to keep them alive. Also, they have spiked…" Harry stopped her by elbowing her in the ribs. "What was that…" Hermione started off angrily before trailing off as her eyes went in the direction Harry was jerking his head towards. (AN bad grammar! Anybody know how to phrase that better? Please help me!) The Slytherin 6th years were on their way from the castle and they were pointing and laughing at Hermione already. From that distance they couldn't tell who she was, but knowing them, they'd probably laugh harder when they found out. The Gryffindors instinctively moved into a sort of protective circle around her. Hermione huddled gratefully between Harry, Ron, Parvati and Lavender (who felt they owed it to her) and Neville. Seamus and Dean stood tall and stoic in front with their arms crossed over their chests. The rest just sent death glares at the snickering Slytherins. Crabbe hopped around them, trying to see who the unfortunate blue person was, and Goyle tried to push through. Blaise Zabini, a tall Slytherin boy who was much admired by the ladies of Hogwarts, looked over all of their heads. Hermione looked up and their eyes met. She cringed, expecting him to call out her name in victory. To her surprise, he smiled kindly and winked at her, then said to Pansy, who was hopping around next to him begging to know who it was,
"Don't know Pansy Sweet, I couldn't see." Hermione smiled widely. She had always thought that Blaise was nice. Just then Hagrid walked out and called cheerfully,
"Alright come on over here now youngsters! We ought to be started a good while ago!"
He began taking attendance. When he got to Hermione, she raised her hand, still in the crowd of chattering Gryffindors. Naturally, most people noticed it was blue. The Slytherins burst into excited laughter and talk. Hagrid's bushy eyebrows furrowed for a second, then he yelled at the Slytherins, "That's enough outta ye! Be quiet before I sends ye to Filch!" The Slytherins did quiet down, though the occasional burst of giggles could still be heard. Hermione drifted into thought, every now and then contributing to Harry and Ron's Quidditch conversation with a 'hmm' or a 'yes' or a 'definitely'. Her head snapped up when she heard Hagrid holler "Draco Malfoy". She looked around eagerly, although she had no idea why she was so eager. She saw a pale arm make its way into the air lazily and hurried off towards it. She broke past the Gryffindors and then she saw him. He was standing all alone a short distance away from the rest of the class, who had not yet noticed him, presumably since they were so busy noticing her. He had his head, which was still adorned with bunny ears, down and he looked so lonely that Hermione began walking towards him. She had almost reached him when he looked up and their eyes locked. They just stood there staring at each other for what seemed like an eternity, then for some reason past her comprehension, Hermione offered a shy smile. And for some reason past both of their comprehension, which seemed to be on holiday, Draco smiled back. A thrill went through both of them as the rest of the world faded into oblivion.
AN Sap-o-rama! Since I'm so cruel, I've decided to end the chapter here, mostly because I like short chapters and fast posting. The next chapter will be up later today, I promise.
Thanks to me wonderful reviewers:
Ginny- don't ask me how my twisted mind comes up with these things. I just don't know.
Kristina- glad you liked it!
Moon-Walker- Yes, we are all aware that you are madly in love with Legolas Greenleaf (AKA Leg of Lamb Green Meat). You can't kill me! I'll set Cait on you and she'll take you to the dungeon of pinkness!
star123- *pokes pin in forehead*loud hissing noise is heard* Whoo, now my head is deflated… Thank-you so much! It's wonderful getting recognition from such a good writer as yourself. So happy you liked it. Now go write, go!
Moon-Walker (again)- No! The orange juice is mine forever! You can't take it away! *cries quietly in corner*sticks tongue out*
Sucker For Romance- Hey you're reading the next chapter… so I guess I posted soon!
Escritora- Go read star123's answer… it's the same! I'm very honoured since I adore your Road Trip which is absolutely exquisite. Now go write, go! Quickly! QUICKER!
Yes, you all brighten my day and make me terribly happy! *kisses* And yes, in my opinion Blaise is a boy (but mostly because I'm boy crazy).
