Chapter 2- Leave Me Confused

The next day during breakfast, Ron, Harry, and Hermione found out they had double Potions with Slytherin before they're free period. During Potions class, Snape had assigned them projects that were due before Christmas break.

"I will be assigning you each with the Memory Potion. Each of you will be having partners," Snape said. The class was getting excited and getting their hopes up that they would be able to choose their partners. "That I will be assigning," Snape finished. The class whined.

"But then of course, I could take away house points from anyone who disagrees," Snape threatened, and everyone be came silent, "I want you all to make the Memory Potion and write no less than a 3 foot long essay about it," Snape explained and then he began assigning partners.

"Potter and Parkinson, Brown and Zabini, Weasley and Crabbe, Granger and Malfoy..." Snape continued on, with each person having a look of disgust.


After Potions was a free-period. Snape was expecting the students to go straight-away to the Library and research but only few did that. One of the few was Hermione of course. During free-period, Harry and Ron walked outside in the halls and began talking about the project

"I wanted to be paired with Hermione," Ron said.

"Why would you want to be paired with Hermione?" Harry asked.

"So I could pass. It's much easier if I'm paired with Hermione, because I don't have to do much work. She usually does that," Ron explained.

"Oh," Harry chuckled. Just then, they bumped into Ginny and Megan.

"Oh, um h-hi Harry," Ginny stuttered. Harry smiled.

"H-hi," He said. They started at each other for quite a few seconds while Ron gave Megan an 'excuse them' look and then look back at Harry and gave out a cough. Harry and Ginny jumped and got back to reality.

"Oh! Um, guys. This is Megan. She's new to Hogwarts and she's in Ravenclaw. She's in my year too," Ginny introduced them. The two boys smiled.

"And Megan, this is Ron. Ron's my brother. He is a fantastic guy. REALLY fantastic guy," Ginny said trying to give them the message, "and this is Harry. Harry Potter."

"Nice meeting you," Harry said as he gave out his hand for her to shake. She nodded and smiled, and shook it in return.

"It's so nice meeting you, finally. My family is really big fans of you," Megan complimented.

"Urm, thanks?" Harry said.

"Okay, well we better go-" Ginny began but was cut off by Harry.

"Wait. Ginny can I um, talk to you? Alone?" Harry asked.

"Um, sure," Ginny answered. Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God! He asked to talk to me! Alone!

"Ron, do you mind walking with Megan for awhile? You know, get to know her?" Harry said to Ron, who was just standing there looking at Megan, nervously. Ron looked at Harry then at Megan. He nodded his head.

"Um, yea. Okay. Sure," Ron said. Ginny looked at Megan, who was smiling.

"Cool. Come on," Megan said and began walking the opposite way that Harry and Ginny were walking, with Ron.

"Wow, did you see Ron?" Harry said and chuckled.

"Haha, yea. He was just standing there frozen," Ginny said.

"Looks like Ron's got a crush," Harry said.

"Yea. You know Megan's got a bit of a crush on him, too?" Ginny said.

"Are you serious? How did you know?" Harry asked.

"I went to talk to Megan and stuff and she said that she thought that Ron was cute. I told her I was his sister and I would introduce them if she liked," Ginny answered.

"Wow, that's weird," Harry said.

"Yea," Ginny said. "Soo, you said you needed to talk to me?" Harry stopped walking and so did Ginny. Ginny faced him. Harry took a step closer to her.

"Um, yea. I um, wanted to say," Harry began.

"M-hmm?" Ginny urged him to go on. They were both inches away from each other.

Oh, I hope he kisses me!

And just as Ginny thought, Harry bent down and kissed Ginny. After a few seconds of kissing, the bell rang meaning that it was lunch time. This startled them and they broke apart. They were speechless. Ginny was the first to speak.

"I-I- I have to go," Ginny said and turned around and walked away hurriedly, leaving a confused Harry behind.

'Did I do something wrong?' Harry thought.


Earlier after Potions class, Hermione went back to the Head's common room to see if Draco was there, so they could talk about the project. They never really talked since the new school year started. Luckily for Hermione, she found Draco at Head's common room, on the couch reading a book. Hermione found this strange.

"Is this really what you do during free periods?" Hermione asked. Draco, who hadn't known that she stepped in, looked up. He just ignored her and continued on reading the book. Hermione sighed.

"Look, I didn't come up here to start a fuss with you. I came up here so we can discuss the project that Snape gave us," Hermione said.

"Doesn't really matter to me. Either way, Snape'll give me an A. He wouldn't dare fail me," Draco said.

"You what? This is what I hate about you. You only care about yourself and your damned life," Hermione said. He is really getting on my nerves!

"I thought you said you didn't come up here to make a fuss," Draco said calmly, looking at her getting her temper up. She is really getting on my nerves. Stupid mudblood. I really don't have time for this. Draco stood up and walked over to her. Draco sighed.

"It was only a stupid joke Granger. You know, you should really lighten up a bit," Draco said, "Look, I'm not happy with the way Snape paired us up either. So I just want to get this over with. We'll start next week or something."

"Next week! Next week! Oh, I am NOT starting my project that late! I would much rather prefer to start right now. Because unlike some people, I like getting my work done early," Hermione stated.

"Is that really what you do during your free periods? I would have thought that you would be off in your own little world reading a book or something. You know… the way I spend my time?" Draco said.

"You know what? Fine! We'll start next week," Hermione yelled.

"Fine!" Draco yelled back.

"Fine!" Hermione yelled.

"If I were you Hermione, I'd watch my temper," Draco said. Just then, the lunch bell rang. Draco walked pass Hermione and made his way to the Great Hall, leaving a confused Hermione behind.

'Did he just call me Hermione?' Hermione thought. 'I would've never thought I'd live till' this day.'
