The three of them made there way through the dungeon corridor and entered
Snape's classroom. Their Potions class consisted of the Gryffindor and Slytherin first
years...so they were with Keiko and Yukina most of the time. Then Snape
began another boring lesson with, "Today, I just want you to follow the instructions on
the board and the one who makes the most progress will be rewarded by having
no homework for a month and be given full points for those assignments, you
may now begin". Hiei turned to the page that the board said the instructions
were on and noticed almost ¾ of the steps were useless and would just be
a waste of time doing all of them so he just proceeded using the steps that would
actually be of use. The girl behind him however was so surprised that he
got so far so quickly that she asked him how and then he simply answered,
"You can skip almost ¾ of the steps and it would still produce the same
result as following all of them...I can show you which ones you can skip
depending on if you want to finish on time or not." The girl who was named
Hermione just replied saying, "No thanks I'd prefer following the official
instructions", it was obvious for Hiei to see that she actually wanted to
finish on time even if she wasn't following the official instructions so
he showed her the steps to skip anyway. Usually he wouldn't do something
like that so Yusuke and Kurama were surprised once again but didn't bother doing anything
since Hiei would just end up getting mad and tell them it was none of their
business.
However it became obvious what was wrong with Hiei in their Defense Against
the Dark Arts class because instead of sitting with the two of them he
decided to sit with Hermione, a Gryffindor, which made Malfoy make jokes about
him with Pansy Parkinson. That got Hiei really mad and he yelled at the top
of his lungs and said, "So what if I like her! Just because her parents
couldn't do magic doesn't mean she's worse than us", that just made Hermione blush.
The Professor Quirrel came into the room and scolded Hiei for yelling at Parkinson and
Malfoy even though they were the ones that actually started it he still got
detention. Hermione then stood up and said, "Professor, Hiei was really
only trying to defend me. Malfoy and Parkinson were the ones that started it
they were making jokes about me, Hiei was just telling them to stop." Professor
Quirrel replied, "Very well, Jaganshi you don't have detention, instead Malfoy
and Parkinson can and will take your place."
On their way back to the common room after class Yusuke asked, "So, why
didn't you tell us? We wouldn't have told anyone." That question somehow
made Hiei wonder if he was being a good friend if he was keeping it from them.
"I'm sorry...but I thought you wouldn't understand, apparently I was wrong
to think that", replied Hiei. "Of course you were wrong!", exclaimed Yusuke. "What
the hell made you think we wouldn't understand how you felt?", asked Kurama.

Camille: I know I made Hiei go out of character but I thought it would be cool that Hermione was paired up with him. Even though it would never really happen, since Hiei never apologizes to anyone.
Harry: Yeah, and you didn't even include your two main characters. (Harry is pointing to Mika and Toni)
Mika and Toni: Yeah it's our story, you might as well make those three the main characters.
Camille: One chapter that you weren't in, I couldn't think of something you could be a part of and I already had the chapter name. Oh and I hope all of my readers weren't wondering why I changed the chapter name.
