Well sorry this took so long, I've been visiting my grandmother in the hospital. She had to have knee replacement surgery and has been in there since Friday. Thankfully she will be released tomorrow morning to go home. I've been praying for her every night since Friday because she was in so much pain that she was ready to give up and die. Anywho here is the chapter ya'llz wanted.

Alright everyone here is today's homework schedule. You need to make sure you mark off anything you may already have finished, which I am guessing none of you can mark off anything as of yet. Now get to work." Hermione stated in a very McGonagall like manner.

"Yes professor, I'll get right on it." Draco joked.

"You will thank me later, don't you worry." Hermione said.

"Oh, I don't worry" Draco said pulling out a piece of parchment.

Four Hours later…

"Hermione its lunch time can we please go eat?" complained Ben.

"Yeah we can, lets go." Hermione said moving to the portrait hole of the prefect common room.

"Hey Hermione, how's your homework going?" asked Harry when she sat down at the Gryffindor table.

"Mine's going great. What about yours?" Hermione said taking a drink from her pumpkin juice.

"Its alright I guess. I'm almost done with my potions essay and so is Ron." Harry said proudly.

"What's your first class tomorrow?" Hermione asked.

"DADA, you?" answered Ron.

"Same" Hermione replied. "Well I better get going I have much more to do before morning. I'll see you in class tomorrow."

Hermione was first to show up to DADA and found a seat at the front of the room. The rest of the class and Harry (remember he's the DADA teacher now) arrived soon afterward.

"Today we are going to study more about the killing curse. Now everyone knows that there is a green light that flashes when the curse is used properly. Can anyone tell me the number one rule to this curse?" Harry said starting up the class.

Hermione's hand shot high in the air before anyone else had a chance to even raise a finger. "Yes Hermione." Harry said knowing that she would give the most perfect answer.

"The number one rule to the curse in question is that the witch or wizard casting the spell has to mean or want that of which the curse is cast upon to actually die otherwise the receiver will be thrown backwards and merely knocked out for a period of time." Hermione answered.

"Perfect answer as always, 15 points to Gryffindor. For the rest of the period you need to find as much information as possible on the curse and use it for your homework assignment. Your homework is a half foot of parchment on the information you find. You may turn in more than a half foot." Harry added looking at Hermione as he said this last bit.

The rest of the hour went by quickly and the next thing Hermione knew she was on her way to Potions. She walked slowly most of the way until she looked at her watch and realized she only had 10 minutes to get to the dungeons. Making it to the class just as Snape opened the door to let students in she slipped in line next to Draco, that way she was accused of being late for class.

"Pass your essays to the front of the room. Make it snappy." Snape hissed. "Get out your cauldrons and start on the assigned potion, Forget-Me-Now. You are to be in pairs, I will assign them of course. Malfoy and Granger, Potter and Parkinson, Weasley and Patil, Zambini and Cooley…" and so the pairs went on.

Draco and Hermione were first to finish their potion and Draco took a vile of the potion to the front of the room. The potion they were assigned to brew was a fast stain remover that would get rid of any stain of any kind. After Potions was lunch… finally.

Not the best in the world but at least its there. I'm sooooo happy, MY GRANDMA IS COMING HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL TOMORROW! Ok I had to get that out of my system. Anybody know of anyone looking for a horse (U.S. citizens only). We are selling most of ours because my mother is going back to school. We have a filly that is 4 ½ months old, two mares between the ages of 7 and 10, a two yr old filly who is already saddle broke, and a registered Appendix Quarter Horse Stallion that is also two years old. If anyone is interested let me know through review or email. Thanks so much.
