"Watch your step mudblood!" Said Pansy cheekily, holding onto Malfoy's hand. Hermione hurt in her heart every time someone called her a mudblood, it hurt her more when Draco said it because she knew that he meant it in the cruelest way possible. Hermione carried on walking nonetheless clutching to her books and school bag for dear life. Harry and Ron were at Quidditch practice as it was there 6th year at Hogwarts, she was often left on her own these days because Ron and Harry were practicing more than ever for the Gryffindor v Slytherin match near the Christmas break.
The Slytherin and Gryffindor class filed into potions class, Snape watching them making sure they were not up to no good.
"Sit down quickly! We have a lot to do today, some very important potions to make that will be important for the rest of this term!" Snape spat quite loudly, she could see Draco whispering something to Crabbe and Goyle
"Oh great double lesson, making potions how fun!" Malfoy said laughing though they stood there dumbstruck.
"You actually like potions?" Crabbe said, Malfoy scowled
"I was being sarcastic you prat!" He said to them, they both nodded like they understood but it had really gone straight past them.
When everyone had sat in there seats Snape began writing on the chalkboard and talking about what he would like them to do in the lesson. Hermione listened to every word he said, she wanted to do well in whatever it was.
"And so, I want you to make a perfume type substance. Something that could catch ones nose, it doesn't have to be in the form of a watery liquid, it could be gooey, solid or whatever. If any one fails to complete this, that person will have 2 WEEKS worth of detention!" Snape shouted the last part looking at Crabbe and Goyle already knowing that they were going to fail.-
Snape continued "There are a bowl of flowers in the cupboard for you to use as smells and some other things for you to use! One last thing, please remain in your seats while I read out your pairs when you have heard whom you are working with, MOVE!" Snape said looking down at the register. Hermione hoped that she would get paired with Harry or 'Ronald' though they would probably want to be paired together.
"Pansy, Neville
Ronald, Seamus
Harry, Crabbe
Parvati, Goyle" Snape read
Hermione waited till her name was called out
"Hermione, Draco" He finished
Draco and Hermione shot looks at each other
"Move then!" Shouted Snape, Hermione slowly walked over to Malfoy sadly. Malfoy gave her a dirty look, she gave him one back of course!
"Granger!" Malfoy shouted
