Did you guys know there's this celebrity match/biorythems thing where you put in you birthday and pick a celebrity and they give you your compatability physically, emotionally and intellectually. So naturally I put in the hp crew (well the guys anyway lol) and I didn't do too bad with any of them. In fact, me and my friends had this game that whoever got the highest with someone got to 'keep' them, and I got all three of my boys and I said this really weird thing about 'three little piggies, chained to a wall' and my friends looked at me like I was nuts so I started to squeek like a little pig and then burst out laughing.
The moral to this tale is: I may not own Harry Potter etcetera, but I now own three little pigs…
Authors note:
I have no excuse for my randomness. Ok, but in all reality I am sooooo sorry. I promised I would never leave long gaps between updating again and stupid real life got in my way again!
I can't even believe how long it took for me to get this up here. I can only throw myself at your mercy and beg for your forgiveness.
So if anyone is still reading this, then please enjoy, and I hope you'll let me know if your still with me.

Chapter 10:
shit! Crap! Stupid alarm snooze Draco thought crashing around another corner on his way to Charms class. Skidding to a stop he tried to get his breathing under control before entering the classroom.
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy, so glad you decided to join us, would you care to explain why you're 10 minutes late for your first charms class of the year?"
"Sorry sir, I slept in. It won't happen again." Draco said as he slid into a seat at the front and tried to look invisible.
"See that it doesn't; and that will be ten points from Slytherin." Professor Flitwick said as he resumed talking about different wand movements. Draco quickly found parchment and quill and began taking notes. Why did he have to miss the start of this class, he needed good notes or he'd never scrape through charms.
stupid class, don't understand how twirling to the left makes any difference from twirling to the right. Stupid teacher too, I mean did he have to take off points, like that's gonna get me anywhere with the stupid Slytherins. Speaking of housemates; I can't believe they didn't wake me up! It's not like it would have killed them to say 'hey Draco get up' but nooooooo I'm sure it's much more fun letting me sleep in and get into trouble. See if I help them with their homework now, oh yeah! Slytherins grades just fell by half hahaha! That'll teach them. Oh crap! Notes! Must take good notes, or steal Grangers. Maybe I can get Alicia to sneak them out of her bag for me. Nah wouldn't want her to get in shit with her gryffy buddies. Maybe Granger would LEND me her notes! Might work, and if not what's the worst that could happen; she laughs in my face, the Slytherins see and laugh at me, they tell Lucius that I made a Gryffindor laugh he finds out I hate him and disowns me or kills me and through it all I FAIL CHARMS BECAUSE I HAS SUCKY NOTES! I'M DOOMED! Ok, MUST get Granger's notes, but how? It must be sneaky, oh wait I never was good at sneaky. Hey what is he yammering on about! Ok, something to do with intent focus while casting the spell, yeah whatever. Oh the class is doing it now, so that's what the feathers for. (Looking at his mangled feather that he had been absentmindedly twirling around his finger he unsuccessfully tried to flatten it out) ok words, words, what were they. Oh Longbottom actually managed it! Ok what did he say "aquatious changille statium" sounds ok, well here goes. I mean if Longbottom can do it, it can't be that hard. OK, FOCUS ON THE FEATHER, DO NOT LOOK LIKE A DICK.
"Aquatious changille statium!"
BOOM!
Oops. This is just not my day.
"…the importance of the left movement means that the transition will cool the molecules instead of heating them. Now it is important that you not focus ON the feather, we are focusing on what is IN the feather…"
Well of course that makes sense. How anyone wouldn't understand that is beyond me. Better make note of it just in case. Harry and Ron will probably end up borrowing…look at them; they're not even pretending to make notes. Why I even bother letting them borrow my notes…it's probably encouraged this behaviour actually. Oh, that wasn't in my notes, lets see…and to heat them would…oh my well lets hope that that doesn't happen. Ok so what was I …oh yeah I was thinking of not giving the boys my notes…oh who am I kidding, all Ron has to do is give me that look and I'll hand them over. Well at least Alicia is taking notes, hold on he stopped speaking, what is she writing…project D&G: step 1; observe behaviour when other is near…oh wait she's looking, look innocent. 'I wasn't reading over your shoulder I promise! Yes go back to whatever you were doing'. Doesn't make sense to me anyway, wonder what D&G means. Well it could stand for dating cause she is trying to help me with that, or I suppose it could stand for Draco, well that makes sense. But then the G would stand for me, well that's kind of rude, you would think she would use H for Hermione instead of G for Granger…maybe it's to throw off the boys. They're always reading over your shoulder; that must be it. Speaking of Draco she really is serious about going through with this, I'm actually going to have to pretend to be dating …what the hell is Draco thinking of, he looks like he's bursting a blood vessel…is his eye twitching? Oh great she's setting me up with a psychopath. I'm doomed…oh we're finally doing the spell. Ok, focus on what is IN the feather, it's just a mass of molecules, focus on the molecules…ok now…"
"Aquatious changille statium!"; after a complicated wand movement to the left the feather in front of her crystallized before disintegrating into tiny ice particles. ooh, pretty!
Looking around she saw each of her classmates attempt the spell. Ron's had frozen but wasn't doing anything else. Didn't put enough power into it Harry's was encased in a block of ice, was focusing too much on the feather Neville's actually worked way-ta-go Neville! and almost everyone else seemed to fit into one of these categories. Lavender had some how managed to turn her feather into a puddle of something or other and Pansy Parkinson's feather was trying to fly away. Hermione was trying to figure out how these effects had come about when there was a not so small explosion somewhere to her left.
BOOM!
Ok; who was the dumb ass that twirled to the right?
"Students; remain in your seats! Don't move away from your desks until the smoke clears!" professor Flitwick instructed whilst magically open the windows.
"…the left movement means that the transition will cool the molecules instead of heating them. Now it is important that you not focus ON the feather…"
blah, blah de blah-blah. I did this ages ago back in the states. Oh well may as well work on my extra curricula's.
Getting out a piece of paper she put a heading on it 'Project D&G: step 1; observe behaviour when other is near. Look for signs of aquardness and other things that can be used as proof of love at later date.
why can I feel someone watching me, look around discreetly, oh it's Hermione. Was she reading over my shoulder? Oh well it's not like she'd know what it means anyway. What on earth is she thinking, she looks like someone hit her with some sort of, well I don't know but boy does she look weird. looking back at her work she set it aside and waited for the class to begin practicing the spell.
"Aquatious changille statium!" giving the appropriate wand movement she watches as her feather crystalised and disintegrated. Sitting back she watched as the rest of the class attempted the spell. Hermione's worked perfectly as did a few others, however there were one or two interesting results. Looking to see how Draco was getting on Alicia was shocked to see him doing a completely wrong wand movement, but before she could call out any warning the damage was done and the feather exploded.
Oh Draco, you're really not having the best of days. Dumb-ass wasn't paying attention I bet.
"Students; remain in your seats! Don't move away from your desks until the smoke clears!" professor Flitwick instructed whilst magically open the windows.
As the smoke dissipated and her vision returned to normal Alicia wasn't at all surprised to see Draco unconscious on the floor, it was after all the exact thing that had happened to an unlucky girl who had made the same mistake when they where doing this spell for the first time. And if memory served she had to remain unconscious for over a day so her senses would have time to reset itself back to their natural state, the blast having messed with them somehow.
Just then the professor located the source of the blast and was tutting over Draco's lax form.
"Never pays close attention… such potential… going to miss vital classes…" was all Alicia could hear before he turned to the class. "It would seem that Mister Malfoy has decided to give you all a demonstration as to why you always make sure you do the correct wand movement, due to this he will have to be brought to the hospital wing. I trust I can leave you here for the remainder of the class, read over the first two chapters of your text book as we will be covering this material in the next week. When the bell rings you can go. I'm leaving Miss Granger in charge so I trust you'll all behave, Miss Granger."
"Yes?"
"Just make sure they stay in class until the bell goes, and make sure they don't make too much noise." He said quietly so only Hermione could hear, and Alicia who happened to be listening in.
"Ok sir."
Pointing his wand at Draco the teacher left the class, Draco floating along behind him.
Hermione closed the door and turned to the class with a manic look on her face. "You heard him, READ!" Alicia, who had expected the class to start talking, was surprised at the tone Hermione used. She was even more surprised when they did as instructed, quickly getting their books opened to the appropriate page and reading quietly. Every now and then she could see them sending Hermione slightly fearful glances. Turning to Harry who happened to be the closest to where she was sitting she got his attention and sent him a questioning look. In answer he got a piece of parchment and began writing on it. After a few minutes he passed Alicia the note.
There was an incident last year where a teacher left her in charge and they didn't take her seriously. She got so angry that when the teacher returned she demanded the entire class get a weeks detention for not respecting the teachers wishes for her to be in charge. The teacher couldn't not do it or he would have been disrespecting her too, so we all take her very seriously now, trust me; she has no problem with handing out punishment; even to her friends.
That's our Hermione, a stickler for the rules.☺
Looking over at Hermione she couldn't help but grin at the thought of her demanding respect like some sort of drill sergeant. She frowned when she thought about Draco. This being unconscious thing was going to slow down her plans. She had to get him to agree to help Hermione, which wouldn't be all that hard when she told him the complete plan. Then they had to plan so no one would expect anything until his birthday, but it had to look real, and she still had to work on Ginny and Draco. And she was probably going to have to talk to Harry at some stage to get someone to work on Ron when they weren't there. Damn she needed to make another list. Getting out her notebook she opened to a blank page.
Plan of attack:
Stage 1; operation: get Ron
Get Draco to help
Plan public viewings
Plant seeds of doubt in Ron
Taunt until he(Ron) breaks
Have break-up planned
Stage 2; Project: D&G
Investigate feelings
See how she copes with stage 1
Slowly introduce pair to each other
Leave them alone as much as poss after 'breakup'(will need help!)
Stage 3; take credit!
Show them this list; hehehe.
Note:
So? Did you like it, hate it? Please let me know. I miss hearing from you guys so much, I got an email from a friend of mine the other day telling me to snap out of it and stop reading fanfic and get back to writing it so you have her to thank for this chap. Who knows how long it'll take for the next one, may be two weeks, may be two months, but I've started working on it so hopefully closer to the first one. But seriously, with me; who knows?
Thanks:
I'm really sorry I know I always put up personal thanks but I couldn't access it earlier to re-read them all and get the names right but I wanted to get this up asap so I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who took the time to review as it means the world to me and I love each and every one of them. Thank you, yeoldecrazy1.
