Sorry for a mistake I made a while ago... I said Transfiguration when I meant divination...sorry but you don't have to be a shit about it (cough...reviewer "Hermione")

Chapter 5
You're a god
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you know

llllllll

'Potions…double potions today… with the Slytherins…again.' Ron sighed. 'And then divination, and Herbology with Ravenclaw…The rest of the week transfiguration, care of magical creatures, Defense against the dark arts, history of magic (that ought to be fun) and Charms. '

'You really should have taken Ancient Runes, its a wonderful class. At least I'm not indivination with that stupid woman…' Hermione trailed off.

'Where's Harry?' Hermione inquired. Ron shrugged.

'He said he'd be down in a second. I don't know what he was doing though.' Ron replied while helping himself to another slice of bacon.

'Well he's going to miss breakfast. And I highly doubt anyone could endure Snape's class with an empty stomach.'

However, Harry never made it to breakfast, and he didn't make it to potions either.

'Poor Harry, I wondered what happened.' Hermione said while sitting at the back of the class beside Ron. They were learning how to create potions to get rid of extremely harmful boils, sores, welts and warts.

'I don't feel bad for him. I feel worse for us… we're in Snapes class, the worst for Harry is that he could be in the hospital wing.'

'That's not very nice, Ron.' Hermione whispered harshly.

'Its true, would you rather be here or with Harry.' Ron asked quietly behind his caldron.

'In here as a matter of fact, we're in class, Ron, and I don't want to be getting a bad mark for skipping or not knowing how to get rid of Bogmen's boils.'

'Come on Hermione, when would you ever come across them. Even if you did I highly doubt you'd be carry ingredients on how to get rid of them.'

'Please be quiet Ron.' She said, and then realized that it was suddenly quiet. She looked up from her cauldron and noticed Snape was standing there looking down with the most irritable smirk across his face.

'Miss. Granger and Mr. Weasley, intriguing as your love quarrel is, it would be prudent that you pay attention, otherwise, you may find yourself poisoned or covered in sores that only be cured if you pay…attention!' This elicited laughter from all the slithering, none more then Malfoy.

'He can't say that!' Hermione said defiantly as she threw red spiders egg into her mixture, along with white barriers and ground Limpwurt wood.

'Hermione, I think you should take it easy on the ingredients.' Ron said lightly.

'I don't think I've ever been so mad in my life.'

'I can think of a few times. Rita Skeeter' Ron thought silently for a moment.

'Shut up Ronald.' Hermione seethed bitterly.

'Perhaps Miss. Granger would like to join me after school for detention and 50 points from Gryffindor… both Mr. Weasley and yourself.' Snape said happily.'

'What? We don't even have 50 points!' Ron shouted.

'And of course, Mr. Weasley has to join his Mrs. in detention.'

'That's not fair.' Ron yelled once more.

'Life isn't always fair now is it' he snapped at them and then turned around. 'I want a sample of the potion before the end of the class.'

Potions had never seemed so long before for Hermione. She was sure that Snape had bewitched the clock to make it go slower. She sighed.

'I can't believe we have detention.' She told Ron while leaving the classroom. 'It's the first day, we have that stupid meeting tomorrow.'

'What meeting?'

'The meeting for the play?' she said. 'I thought you said you'd try out with me.'

'Oh yea…' Ron looked at the floor.

'You don't have to go you know. I just thought it would be fun to do something other then just sit around.' Hermione and Ron found seats in the middle of the Gryffindor table.

'Do you suppose that he got into trouble?' Hermione asked Ron, helping herself to a soup bun.

'Not without me he didn't. If there is any rule breaking that he wants to do, he does it with me, unless of course I'm incapable of doing so.'

'Oh please Ron…Harry.' Hermione said when Harry sat down beside Ron.

'Talking about me' Harry joked.

'Only about the trouble you probably got into.' Ron said.

'You'll never believe what McGonagall told me.' Harry exploded, not being able to wait any longer.

'What she told you took all morning? You missed a wonderful class of potions.' Hermione said sarcastically and angrily. Harry gave Ron a questioningly look.

'Detention' he whispered to him while Hermione destroyed the rest of her bun.

'Guess what McGonagall did?' Harry asked again.

'I don't know, gave you a new broom.' Ron guessed with a hint of sarcasm.

'Funny Ron.' Hermione said from across the table. 'Well what?' she asked getting impatient.

'I'm the new Quidditch captain.' He said happily.

'Oh that's just what you needed, Harry, that's great!' Hermione congratulated him.

'Right on! That is bloody brilliant! It's about time.' Ron said.

'I didn't even think that I would get Quidditch captain. Anyway, why did you get detention Hermione?'

'And Ron.' She added cynically and Harry looked at Ron who shrugged like having detention wasn't a new thing.

'Well, first of all, he insults Ron and I during class in front of everyone-'

'Including the Slytherins' Ron added sulkily.

'Anyway, he gave me detention because I was talking quietly AND he took 100 points from Gryffindor.'

'But we dot even have 100 points yet, it's the first bloody day! What is he thinking.' Harry said.

'That's how I got a detention, but saying the same thing. So we have detention after school today.'

'Well, do you know what it is yet?' Harry asked. Both Ron and Hermione shook their heads 'no'.

'It's rubbish!' Hermione shouted. 'He can't actually have anything for us to do! The castle was just cleaned.'

'Hermione, he'd probably mess it up for us to clean. Put some spells on things so that they never get clean without the counter spell or something.'

'I wouldn't doubt it.' Ron said. 'We should really head to Herbology or we might be late.'

Divination seemed to speed by as well as herbology.

'As if we have detention in 15 minuets.' Ron looked as upset as he sounded.

'These will be the fastest fifteen minutes of your life Ron.' Hermione said while precisely cutting off a single leaf of a Marrentill plant. When mixed with ground toad legs and newt eyes it made a very potent anti-poison.

'Clean up' Professor Sprout shouted over the classes' clamor. There were leaves and soil everywhere. If you did not cut the leaves off properly and with precision, the plants would take it upon themselves to show you by throwing dirt in your face. Neville's pot was almost empty and his face was streaked with dirt.

Llllllll

'We'll try and see you before dinner ends Harry.' Hermione said as Ron and she parted ways with Harry.

'Once back more to the dudgeon of doom.' Ron said gloomily. 'I wonder what he's going to make us do.'

'For once you are right on time.' Came the calm arrogant voice of Snape as he guided them in the classroom. 'I want all the boards cleaned off.' Snape clearly saw the smirk appear on Ron's face and smugly added, 'without the use of magic.'

'And if you do, I'll know.' He added before leaving the room.

'I can't believe he used every board…and then some. He doesn't even have these many boards.' Ron complained.

'Well, they're obviously not going to clean themselves. Accio brush' Hermione said and a chalk brush headed her way. She made her way up to the board and started wiping off useless notes anti-poison and the uses of Guam Leaf and Int Leaf.

'I advise you do the same thing, Ron.' There was a moment of silence before Hermione let out a frustrated sigh.

'He used extra absorbent chalk. It comes off nicely with a flick of a wand. This stuff is not supposed to be brushed off… we're not muggles!' She was now brushing the board so furiously that there was a huge cloud of yellow dust.

'Bloody hell Hermione' Ron said while fanning his hand in front of his face.

'What?' she snapped. 'I'm hungry, and this is inane punishment for something that we didn't even do wrong.'

'You can't do anything about that now can you.' He said.

'Would you just help?' ordered Hermione.

'Ok.' He replied. The room was silent except for the sound of the brushes sweeping across the board. 'Cheer up Hermione, it's not as bad as going into the dark forest.' He reminded her.

'Yea, I guess.' She said. They both continued to clean the boards in silence and they were almost cleaned until Hermione shrieked.

'What?' Ron asked, holding back a laugh.

'Something just hit my back.' She said, frantically trying to look at her back. By this time Ron was laughing and Hermione noticed that he had thrown his chalk brush at her and it had left a big yellow blotch on her back.

'Ron! Is this going to come off?' she yelled and he shrugged. Hermione walked up to him and hit him on the arm with her chalk brush.

'There, we're even.' He said holding his hands up. Hermione hit him on the other arm and then the front of his robes.

'Hey!' he shouted and went to pick up his own, but when he turned around she hit another three times on the back.

'You are going down Hermione.' Ron picked up his brush and walked over to her.

'Ok ok…truce?' she said while holding her hands up and laughing at his determination.

'Ok.' He said. 'Only after I get you back.' He said and then hit her on the head.

'Ron! My hair' giggling she tried to wipe the dust out of her hair. He took this opportunity to hit her on the side and when she turned to block that side, he hit her other side.

'Truce!' she shouted. 'We're done…just put the brushes down.' She laid hers down on the ledge and so did Ron. He stuck out his hand and she grabbed it, picking up both brushes this time and got his forearm full of dust.

'Hey' he yelled! And then chased after he as she headed for the door. He caught her right before she opened the door by wrapping his arms around her upper arms. He finally managed to get the brushes and then hits her a few times. Suddenly both stopped laughing and they realized what they were doing.

Ron coughed, 'we uh, better go to dinner,' and put the brushes down on the nearest table.

Hermione nodded, 'yea.'

They both left the dungeon in silence and didn't talk until they were near the Great Hall.

'I won you know,' Hermione jested.

'Really?' Ron played along.

'Yea, look, you're mostly yellow… I at least have black left on my robes.'

A couple of third years passed them in the halls and gave them weird looks and then laughed as they walked away. Hermione just shrugged them off.

'A simple cleaning spell will get this off she said.' She took her wand out of her robes and pointed it at Ron, 'disapero' and the chalk started to disappear on him and she did the same to herself.

'Ready?' She asked and Ron nodded as the both entered the hall to sit with Harry.
