OK! I know..i didn't finish the other fic yet, but this idea has sorta been coming and going, but the other day, I suddenly had the PERFECT idea on how to make it work, so I bugged some friends….and here it is!

Summary: Dumbledore has assigned the Gryffindor/Slytherin potions class to brew the potion that protects the school grounds. However, after a fight breaks lose on school grounds, trouble ensues and the potion causes mayhem for the famous trio as each one finds trouble with it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own plot bunny! Her name is Plottsie and she brings me lotsa tasty carrot-shaped ideas…so be nice to her! The Rest belong to JKR…and as many say, I'm just playing with her toys for a little while. She can have them back later, when I'm through.

Ships: erm…they're there, but because of how this fic unfolds…it gets confusing, so read to find out! Main one is Ron/Hermione

On with the Fic!

Potions...Incidents

Chappie One: The Threat

Snape stared at the class before him. He knew that Dumbledore expected him to have these students work on a very important potion that would help out the school. But these students were incompetent! For God's sake, Longbottom was in this class! How did that fool of a Headmaster expect this class to get it right?

Granted, it wasn't a difficult potion compared to many they had already attempted in that class, but this time, they would all be working together on a rather large potion in a huge cauldron that filled an entire room. That, in itself, would make it three times more difficult.

Yet, he had to get them started, so:

"This semester we will be working on a very important potion for the Headmaster. I expect that no one will mess around this time," he told the students, sending glares to the trouble makers. "The potion is actually very similar to many other potions; one wrong ingredient will change the entire potion. The potion we will be making is called Inviliasio Protek, does anyone know what it does and why it is important?"

Hermione's hand jumped into the air. After trying unsuccessfully to get a different student to raise their hand, Snape called on the young woman. "Miss Granger?"

"Inviliasio Protek is a potion that when dribbled in a loop around something protects whatever is within that loop, provided the loop is completed, from all sorts of magical invasion including apparition, port keys, and other similar spells, from outside of the loop to the inside and vice versa." (check author's note)

"Correct. Five points for Gryffindor."

Snape turned around and spelled the notes onto the board. "These notes are on the importance of the spell, the ingredients and instructions, and what can happen when this spell is made correctly. I expect you to copy down every single piece of these notes and study them very carefully. Tomorrow, we shall meet in the upstairs potion room, on the top level."

With that, the potions master walked out of the room.

Later that day:

"Hermione, can you ever stop studying and come spend some time with us?" Ron was complaining in the common room. He and Harry had been trying to persuade her to join them outside to play hexing-tag with the other students.

"No, this potion is very important. If we mess it up, then, the school won't be protected from outsiders….like Voldemort!"

"So, we won't screw it up. It's not like you would LET us, now would you, Hermione?"

The witch glared at him, disgusted. "O, alright, but only for a little while."

Ron and Harry exchanged grins and dragged their friend outside.

However, they never got to play hexing-tag. Draco Malfoy was already causing trouble (like he was rote to do), picking on Neville Longbottom for hexing his own teammates.

"You're so forgetful, a remembrall couldn't help you remember which people are on your team!" Malfoy sneered.

Neville looked hopelessly at the other students around him but no one helped.

"Ha hahaha! You can't even remember your friends!"

The infamous one minded-trio laughed hard, until Goyle turned around ands had to ask Draco what 'hahaha' meant. Draco glared at him.

That's when our….'angelic' trio came onto the scene.

"Leave him alone, Malfoy!" Hermione scolded.

"Why, what's it to you, you cheating on Weasel, here, for Longbottom?" came the snide remark, "Even Weasel is better then the boy who lives up to his name! as-!"

Hermione looked towards Malfoy with a look that made everyone present glad that looks really couldn't kill (unless you're a basilisk, of course, but she wasn't one…was she?) However, considering Malfoy was ready for a new comment, there was definite proof against those thoughts.

"Well, well, well, Grangy, seems I hit a nerve there!"

Hermione looked as though she was going to slap the boy silly, but Harry and Ron were holding her back.

"Don't let him get to you, 'Mione! It's what he wants!"

"O! have to have your boyfriend keep you in line, even while you cheat on him, eh Granger?"

"WHY you little!" Nothing could stop her now. Hermione wrenched free of the boys' grasps and punched Malfoy extremely hard on the check, sending him sprawling. She didn't give him a chance to get up before hitting him again…and again.

After a few minutes the other four boys (Ron, Harry, Crabbe and Goyle) managed to separate the two, but not until after Hermione had managed to do considerable damage to Draco's pristine face.

"You'll regret this, Hermione Granger," Malfoy spat out, "I promise you that you will seriously regret this. I will get even with you!" And, with that, he left.

(A/N uhm…Hermione's description of potion is hard to comprehend…so, it means u dribble it around the perimeter of something and it protects it from magic inside and out...Sorry.

Many thanks to summerkins, my first ever beta…lol and one of my bestest buddies and my one and only marker sissy! Heeheehee! AND for the title!

Ok sorry this chappie is sorta short, but I kinda got to get past it…but it has to be there separate from the next scene…lol. Uhm right then, this story will be a little weird, just so you know!

The more you review, the more I write and the more I write the more I post and the more you can read and the more you can review…and so, the never ending circle continues!)
