Chapter 11: Hermione v.s. Lucius- Round 2

"Did you see Snape's face? Oh he couldn't believe it when Professor Bringx said my potion was better than his," Sirius said deliriously happy. "And it was all thanks to Hermione," he said smiling at her.

"Maybe she should sit by me," James said. "Then maybe I could pass the class."

"I might not be much help the rest of the year," she said in modesty. "It's like I told Sirius, the only reason I knew that potion was because we did it my fifth year."

"This year will probably be just a review for you," James told her.

They were walking back up towards the Great Hall. They came to a stop, however, when four bodies came to block their path.

"Well done Miss Granada," Lucius Malfoy purred. "It would seem that you are gifted at Potions."

"No, just smarter than the average Slytherin," Hermione bit out.

"You would do well to keep your mouth shut," Snape hissed at her.

"And you would do well to remember that we out number you Snivellus," Sirius growled.

"Relax Black," Lucius started, "we just have a little proposition for Hermione."

"I am not interested in any proposition of yours Malfoy," Hermione bit out. She made to move past him but he shot his arm out and stopped her.

"Not so hasty," he drawled. "This is the last time you'll be offered this so listen up. Be with me and we will make your life here a whole lot easier."

"You have got to be kidding me!" Hermione laughed.

"No, I'm not," Lucius smiled.

"Well I'm sorry to say I decline your generous offer Malfoy. Now if you'll excuse us," Hermione said as she pushed her way through them.

"You'll regret this," Lucius growled, grabbing her arm.

"And you'll regret it if you ever touch her again," Sirius growled, grabbing his wand.

"Really?" Lucius asked, letting go of Hermione and grabbing his own wand. "And what are you planning on doing if I grab her again Black?"

Hermione saw James, Remus, and Lily all grab their wands.

"I'll make your life living hell Malfoy. So why don't you take your army of dimwits and crawl into a hole somewhere?"

"Why don't you go to hell," Snape shouted.

"Oh, go play with your chemistry set Snivellus," Sirius said irritably.

Snape growled and made to go for his wand but Hermione beat him to the punch. She pointed her wand in his face and watched as the others did the same to the Slytherins.

"Now maybe one of you can be so nice as to tell me which one of you attacked me yesterday?" Hermione asked patiently. She waited for an answer but none came. "No one? Well I guess I can just take my revenge out on all of you. What do you guys think?" She asked her fellow Gryffindors.

"I think that is a very good idea. Start with Snivellus," James replied.

"One last chance…" she offered. "Fine…Densaug…"

"Wait!" shouted the smallest Slytherin. All eyes turned towards him.

"Quiet you insufferable fool," Lucius hissed at the boy.

"No, you be quiet Malfoy," Remus said.

"Go ahead," Lily said, pointing her wand in the boy's face. "Talk now or you'll regret it."

The boy looked confused. He looked from one face to another. The other Slytherin boy looked as if he too wished to be out of this situation but dared not say anything.

With one last look at Lucius, he cast his head down and mumbled, "We do not know anything."

James went to curse the other boy but Hermione stopped him. "Let those two go. They do not know anything. My quarrel is with Malfoy and Snape."

The two Slytherin boys ran away from them. Hermione let Sirius and James take over Snape while she pointed her wand at Lucius.

"Now listen to me," she spat. "If you ever, ever, stun me again, you will regret the day you were born. I will make your life a living hell. Do you understand me?"

Then she waved her wand and yelled "Furnunculus!" Boils spread over Lucius' face and she smiled as she walked away.
