What Girls Do In Bathrooms
Ahhh... this is SO much better... Hermione thought as she lay in her bath ...I don't know how I'm going to survive this year... living with Malfoy...urgh... it's like, what's-it-called... oh yeah, Survivor or something...I can imagine the looks on Harry and Ron's faces... she giggled... well, I'm not gonna think about that now... this is the time for RELAXATION...
Malfoy quietly crept up the staircase, making sure no noise was heard. Granger, is going to have ONE interesting night... he smirked. It was with sweet vindication did he take his revenge for her attacking him on the train. Stupid book... WHY does it always take its anger out on ME? First it's the essay, then it's the attack... WHAT'S next? He was nearly there, just a few more steps...
The scream in the Head Boy and Girl bathroom was one that Hogwarts would never forget...
"MALFOY? What the hell are you doing here?" screamed Hermione as she tried to cover herself by sinking lower beneath the bubbles.
"Oh. My. God. I did not know you were in here, Granger. So sorry," he said innocently.
"Don't lie, Malfoy! You knew I was taking a bath!"
"Always the accusations, always the persecutions... will it never end?"
"GET OUT, MALFOY!"
"Or what, Mudblood?"
"Or I'll... or I'll... or I'll... JUST GET OUT!" she shouted, completely unable to think of a threat which would make him leave.
"I'd be careful, if I were you. You see, Granger, I have a slight advantage. You are over there; naked and defenceless. While your wand just happens to be right next to me; whom I might say is fully clothed," he smirked, clearly enjoying watching her face contort with anger and embarrassment.
"You, you, you... URGH!"
"Nice choice of words, Granger"
"Get out now," she whispered, her eyes narrowing until they were nothing but slits.
"And if I don't? What then, Grange-BITCH!" he exclaimed; now soaking wet from her projectile... which happened to be a rubber duck.
"If you want another one, there's plenty more!" she said, laughing.
"I'll go, I'll go! Just don't hit me again! Damn rubber ducks..."he muttered as he left the bathroom.
"Thank you, ducks," she said as she took her towel and started to change.
"Harry! Ron! Wait up!" shouted Hermione as she struggled to catch up with her best friends.
"Hermione! What happened last night? You just went off! I hope, Malfoy's not giving you a hard time," said Ron, his face full of concern and an emotion that Hermione just couldn't place.
"Well, I had to find out where I was staying, Ron. Anyways, all I can say is that living with Malfoy is... interesting," she finished lamely, as she couldn't figure out any other way or putting it.
"Interesting as in how? Like, he picks his nose or something?"
"Gross, Ron and no, he does not pick his nose. All I said was that it was interesting. You can be so possessive sometimes, Ron" she said as Ron, for some reason, blushed.
"Hey! Can I join the conversation anytime this millennium?" asked Harry, annoyed that his friends had left him out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Harry! How are you? Does your scar hurt?" asked Hermione, guilty she had easily overlooked him.
"It's alright, Hermione. I'm okay and my scar doesn't hurt me in the least. Although, we have the Slytherins for potions, AGAIN," he moaned.
"Whoopee," muttered Ron
"Today, we'll be looking at a very complex potion, one that some people may find... difficult," Professor Snape sneered as he looked at Neville, whose face paled at the prospect, "the potion is called Visuae Desirous. Can anyone tell me what it is used for? Ah, Mr Malfoy, please enlighten us,"
"Visuae Desirous is a potion that allows the drinker to see whatever he or she wishes,"
"Very good, ten points to Slytherin. Now, the instructions are on the board and you will be working in pairs. Which I will be assigning you into," he smirked watching the horrified faces of the Gryffindors, "Patil and Parkinson, Weasley and Bulstrode, Weasley and Crabbe, Potter and Goyle, Granger and Malfoy..."
Not Malfoy! It isn't enough that I live with him but now I have to work with the butthead! What did I do to deserve this...?
"Now, Granger, this is what we are going to do. You do the work while read out the instructions," he started.
"Uh, hello? I'm not doing all the work!"
"Fine, we do half and half but YOU be the tester,"
"Okay,"
"That's a good little guinea pig,"
They worked throughout the task, bickering and fighting with each other along the way until finally, the potion was complete. It was a blue/purple solution and smelled just like vanilla. Unfortunately, Neville's cauldron was a dark yellow and was emitting a smell to dire for words.
"Go on, Granger, drink the damn thing so we can finish,"
"Alright. Keep your knickers on,"
"I don't wear knickers, Granger,"
"So, you say. Anyway, here goes nothing," she said while she drank the concoction.
It tasted of strawberries and, if truth be told, a bit like whisky. She suddenly felt a floating sensation, nice but weird.
"Okay, Granger, you should be seeing your image about now,"
She was slowly starting to see something, blurry at first then gradually getting clearer. It was a young man, quite handsome in her opinion. As it got clearer, Hermione's thoughts whirled around her... who is he? Maybe, I know him... this potion does have some weird effects, though... I wonder why Professor Snape set this particular potio- OH MY GOD! IS THAT MALFOY IN PINK BOXERS? She snapped back to reality as she put her hands over her eyes.
"What did you see, Granger?" asked Malfoy, intrigued by her facial expressions displayed throughout her trial of the potion.
"Uh, nothing. So, has the lesson ended yet?" she asked, trying to distract him from the fact she was blushing furiously.
"WHAT DID YOU SEE?" he demanded impatiently.
"Gotta go, Malfoy. Bye!"
She ran towards Harry and Ron as the school bell rang, wondering just what on earth happened back there.
"So, what did you guys see?" asked Hermione, at dinner.
"Uh, I saw... I saw..." stammered Ron, turning red again for the second time this week.
"Oh, forget it, Ron. What did you see, Harry"
"I saw Sirius. He was alive," he whispered, momentarily grieving for his beloved dead god-father.
"I'm sorry, Harry," she said, trying to comfort her best friend. She knew how hard it was for him and knew she had to be there for him, no matter what.
Draco saw Hermione wrap her arms around Harry, speaking to him with a sympathetic look on her face. All of a sudden, he felt a pang of... jealousy? He couldn't not believe his ears, he Draco Malfoy have feelings for a Mudlblood? Impossible, he was just tired from Quidditch practice he said to himself. Draco had lost his appetite and got up to go back to his room, ignoring Pansy's pleas claiming she wanted to show him something. God knows what it was, he thought, shuddering...
