"Okay everyone! Settle down!" said Professor Flitwick "Class has begun!"
All the students filed into class. Hermione sat between Ron and Harry and Malfoy sat next to Harry on the left.
"I am Professor Flitwick," said Professor Flitwick "And this is the class of Charms. Today we will be learning how to turn water into chocolate."
"PU-LEEZ! Can we learn something which I don't know?" said Hermione.
"Malfoy, sorry I meant Hermione, please be quiet and pay attention!" said Flitwick "This is a class on revision and practice…I know that almost all of you may know how to perform this charm but I will be testing you to see how well. Beginning with Malfoy."
Malfoy stood up. Said a couple of words and waved his wand over the glass over water. There was smoke and there laid a plump chocolate bar. He bowed but no one clapped.
"Very well…," said Flitwick biting into the chocolate bar "Hermione, you're up!"
Hermione stood up and said the words that were necessary and said a few more. The extra words made her performance better. Her chocolate bar came on a plate with a handkerchief, a candle and a vase with a rose in it. It tasted better too.
"Splendid!" said Professor Flitwick.
Malfoy gave Hermione a dirty look. Hermione bowed and everyone clapped.
"WAHHHHH!" wailed Malfoy.
"Malfoy!" said Flitwick stunned.
"I want my mommy!" wailed Malfoy "Eberywun cwapped fwer Wermione… sniff no wun cwapped fwer wmeeeee!"
"That's because I am better than you at Charms," Hermione retorted.
"WAHHHHHHHHH!" wailed Malfoy.
Everyone clapped for him and he smiled like a little baby.
"Why did you do that?" Hermione asked.
"Because I wanted attention like you always want," snapped Malfoy.
Hermione wanted to tell him that he was wrong but Flitwick told them to shut up so she never got a fight back. Anyway Hermione was sensible; she didn't need to answer Malfoy's dumb remarks.
Everyone had their turns and it was time for Potions Class with Professor Snape.
"Good Morning class," said Snape in a dead edgy voice. "I am Professor Snape and this is Potions Class…and remember I will kill you!"
Gasps went through the class.
"I meant I will help you put a stopper to death…"said Snape with a mad evil glint "Today we will be learning the Acidic Potion."
"What's the Acidic Potion?" asked Neville.
"A very good question," Snape said sarcastically then he yelled "5 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!"
"What? Professor Snape that does not make sense," said Ron.
"Ron I like the fact that you said does not instead of doesn't…NO SLANG IN THIS CLASS!" yelled Snape.
"But doesn't or wasn't or didn't is not slang!" protested Hermione.
"Oh yes it is, in my book it is and that's 30 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!" snapped Snape.
"Dawg you gotta get loose! Yur crappy book is bull-shit man, too tight! Look at'cha you ain't got style. Geez you so ain't da beez kneez. You been wearin' that same ugly robe eva since I met'ya brutha! Yous gots to buy yourself some new threads, ya'know what I'm talkin' bout. And you know bout plastic surgery right homie G? Well get that done to ya'self cos no girl will be digging ya wif that face ya'know dawg? Loose, loose mah brutha fruma anatha mutha!" said Malfoy "Now that's what I call slang."
"5 POINTS FROM SLYTHERIN, EVEN THOUGH I AM IN THAT HOUSE," said Snape.
"Why!" asked Malfoy.
"You said that's you should have said that is," explained Hermione.
"Anyway today we will be learning Acidic Potion. It is a potion that can burn through anything," said Snape looking at Malfoy "and then we will have 20 minutes free time where you may practice potions, read potion books or pick your nose. Class had begun."
Professor Snape had to talk to McGonagall and Dumbledore about why Madam Pomfrey was sad. That reminded Hermione about her plan which she set into action. Everyone was talking having a blast because they had already mastered the Acidic Potion. No one seemed to notice that Hermione was madly mixing things into a cauldron. She got "The Love" potion and poured it in and got the "Anti-Wrinkle Potion". It was almost time for the explosion.
"Draco Malfoy!" Hermione yelled and that was it. Everyone leaped on Malfoy but took turns kissing him for 2 minutes. 23 tongues tried to shove themselves into Malfoy's mouth. Even Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape and Dumbledore wanted to kiss him. The explosion was very powerful. After 30 minutes Malfoy threw up and was taken for special care. Hermione sneered. Ron and Harry were mad at her because she made them kiss Malfoy but they thought it was a good way to get back at him because of that book he threw on their head.
"Hermione! It was your entire fault!" said Malfoy after he got back.
"Charmed!" said Hermione and the class was over. Snape had taken only 2 points from Gryffindor for Hermione's behavior because first of all Snape didn't like Malfoy and second of all he had enjoyed the kiss.
Hermione and Malfoy had a sissy fight outside class. Harry and Ron had one just because it looked like it was fun.
"I have something to say…," began Hermione "I know why Madam Pomfrey was sad." She was about to tell them but she saw Malfoy's eyes. They were pleading her not to tell but then she remembered what he had done to her in the past and was going to just go right out and say it. But Malfoy pulled her to a corner.
"Please," Malfoy began "I beg of you…don't tell them!"
"Fine," said Hermione "But you owe me!"
They walked back to Harry and Ron and Malfoy changed the topic.
"Well we have a free period after lunch, want to work on the incantatorfly?" asked Malfoy.
"Yea, sure," said Ron.
"What did we need again?" asked Harry.
"I memorized it. It said we needed: 3 pominogs, 4 fireflies, a drop of Black Dragon spit and healthy earth for the incantatorfly to grow," recited Hermione.
"Okay…well let's get to lunch and we will work on the incantatorfly later," said Malfoy.
Hermione watched him walk towards Slytherin and decided upon what he should owe her. She decided that he should take the taffy ball out of her hair and then make the potion called "As it Was" and fix her hair. The potion "As it Was" made anything as it was before something happened to it. She decided that she would tell him tomorrow since he probably had a lot on his mind.
Lunch was a special one. Dumbledore had baked his special cookies and each table got 10 baskets full.
"My darling grandma used to make these cookies," said Dumbledore with a light sob. He still had his oven mittens on.
Everyone devoured the cookies and chatted. Meanwhile Hermione, Harry, Ron and Malfoy were off to save Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall went to her room for the "Anti-Wrinkle" potion. She had a crush on Dumbledore for years and she decided that now was the time to do something about it…
