A/N: Here's the lovely chapter 6.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's finally Monday and I couldn't wait to be in class. The only problem with that was that I had potions and I got it with none other than the Slytherins. Ugh, why are the Slytherins and Gryffindors always together in potions? It's like they want something bad to happen. Grrr… I'm doing it again. I made my way out of my common room to find Harry and Ron talking to Malfoy, What are they now life time buddies? I cringed at that thought. How could they betray me like that? I stormed off not waiting for them, not wanting an explanation. I reached the Great Hall; people were filing in for breakfast. I found a seat away from where Harry, Ron, and Ginny usually sat. I mean I was mad at them, I was also mad at Luna and Lavender for listening to Ginny, but Ginny was mad them because she thought they were the ones who told me. How simple-minded do you get? Ha Ginny simple-minded just like others I know. I glance over to Harry and Ron who just looked at me with a 'What's going on?' type look. I looked away with tears in my eyes.
"What's wrong Hermione?" came a soothing voice from my left. I looked over to see Seamus. He's a sight for sore eyes. I thought.
"Oh… nothing just thinking that's all." I said a little shaky.
"What would you be thinking about that would make you cry or at least want to?" he asked with pleading eyes. I could feel his hand upon the small of my back, it was actually comforting, a little weird, but still comforting.
"You know Seamus, I never realized it but you're cute." I blushed, but he was too so I let it slide.
"Oh… uh… thank you, I guess."
"You're welcome." I was panicking. "Uh… do you mind if I sit with you during potions? I'm sort of mad at Harry and Ron."
"Uh… year sure if you want." he said with a smile.
We walked out of the Great Hall together with people staring at us with every step we took. It was worse then when they thought Harry and I were dating. I just wanted to run away but I couldn't I knew Seamus had a crush on me and had for a while. I just couldn't do that to him. We walked by Malfoy and his crew, and Harry, Ron, and Ginny. I didn't know what Harry was talking about but I heard something about 'the first Hogsmeade weekend' and 'Draco and Hermione'. Were they trying to get us back together, but why would Ginny want us together? I kept thinking about this the whole way down to the dungeons and half-way through potions, until someone passed me a note. The handwriting was sloppy so I figured it was that of a guys. I looked around to see who had passed it but everyone had their heads down taking notes. I opened it slowly so Snape wouldn't hear and read it under the desk.
Hermione,
Hey we know you probably don't want to talk to us but will you please let us explain this weekend at Hogsmeade?
Sincerely,
Harry, Ron, Ginny, Draco
Oh great just what I need a meeting with the Betrayal Foursome. Haha that was funny. I tried to hide my giggles but Seamus caught on and just had to ask.
"Hermione what's so funny?"
I tried to wave it off but Snape saw and started yelling. "Miss Granger would you please like to share with us what's so funny?" he was mad I could tell.
"Why yes, yes I would." I handed him the note but not before I changed the names to: Crabbe, Goyle, Shane, and Blaise. Snape read the note out loud and everyone was laughing their heads off, except, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Shane, and Blaise. Harry and them were shocked and Crabbe and his crew looked like they were ready to pounce.
"Crabbe, Goyle, Shane, and Blaise would you please follow me?" Everyone burst out laughing.
I looked back and smiled at Harry and them, they returned the smile and got up to talk to me but I shook my head and looked towards Snape's office as he was walking out. They sat back down and as Crabbe and his team of 'note writers,' as Snape called them, took their seats they stared me down. I was trying to suppress more giggles when the bell for the end of class rang. I got up and meet Harry and Ron outside the classroom.
"So you thought it was funny. Well it wasn't you nearly got us caught." Ron yelled.
"Calm down, would you. I changed the names before I even started reading. I always do just in case. And the only person who can read the true names is me it's a little spell I made up a couple of years ago it comes in handy a lot." I smiled and started waling we had Care of Magical Creatures next and with the Slytherins yet again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione, Harry, and Ron were the only ones who were late but it didn't matter, for one Hermione was Head Girl and Hagrid wouldn't be to hard on them.
"Sorry we're late Hagrid." Harry said as they walked up.
"It's alright guys." he paused, he had a very depressing look on his face. "I'm sorry Hermione but the Slytherins are short one and Mr. Malfoy needs a partner and well there was no one else 'cause Gryffindor has one to many."
Damn it I thought I would have a good week before the meeting, Hermione thought, Well I guess you thought wrong. said another part of her brain. "It's all right Hagrid, it won't kill me to be paired with Malfoy. It may not be cool, but it won't kill me." Harry, Ron, and Malfoy stood wide-eyes jaws dropped they had never hear Hermione talk to anybody like that much less a teacher.
Hagrid stood there for a moment and then said, "Ok class today we will be working with baby hippogriffs, (A/N: Sorry I couldn't think of anything better.). Well we will be working on them for the rest of the year. Which means that your partner today is your partner tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. Will you get it. Ok now go over and pick one of the bundles. Blues are boys, pinks are girls, and yellows are well they just haven't decided whether the want to be a girl or boy." Everyone was amazed and looked at each other with questioning eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok Draco, here's the deal. I'm only your partner because I have to be and I would appreciate it if you would pay attention since this is a group project and we get a double grade for it. HELLO ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? NO WAIT I'M SORRY APPARENTLY YOUR TOO OCCUPIED WITH MY CHEST." I stormed over to pick a baby and to get the supplies needed for it and walked back over to Malfoy who was still in the same place standing shocked.
"Hermione I heard what Ginny said and it's not true, well ok it sort of is true but not completely. Just let me explain."
"Oh just shove it Malfoy and who said you could call me by my first name." I pulled out my wand; he too did the same.
"Well you called me by mine first right before you started yelling. Which I think was a bit uncalled for."
I was now pissed. "DON'T GO TELLING ME WHAT'S UNCALLED FOR OR NOT I CAN YELL WHEN I WANT, WHERE I WANT!" People had formed a circle around us expecting a duel.
"WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME BEFORE YOU GO OFF BELIEVE GINNY! No offense Ginny?" she shook her head. "Good. Listen Hermione I think we should just talk about this. How about this weekend at Hogsmeade."
I nodded and then just stood there waiting for something to happened but nothing did so I got to work on 'our' baby. By the time class was over I had cooled off a tad until Ginny, Harry, and Ron walked over to me and then I knew something was coming.
"HERMIONE! What was all that about?" Ginny yelled at me as I started walking off.
"DON'T EVEN START WITH ME GINNY WEASLEY! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU ALWAYS GETTING INTO THINGS THAT DON'T CONCERN YOU!" They all stood shocked they had definitely never thought that I, Hermione Granger the girl who kept her mouth shut, would ever be mean to Ginny since we had always been such good friends.
"HERMIONE! What is your problem?" Harry asked.
"You are. You are always asking me for help on you homework and then you don't even thank me. Plus Ron you have snot nosed sister who thinks she can always get her way." I stormed off. I knew what I said wasn't true; well yes part of it was, but not the part about Ginny. I walked into my dorm to get the books I needed for my next class only to find Crabbe, Goyle, Shane, and Blaise in there with no Malfoy in sight.
"Uh… How did you guys get in here?" I asked a little scared.
"Draco gave us the password so that if we need anything we could just come get it." They all sneered.
"Well get what you came for and leave." I said as aggressively as possible.
"Granger, we came for you." Blaise said laughing.
I backed up to the door. They were coming at me pretty fast. Shane put a stunning spell on me and then Blaise put a silencing charm on me. Crabbe and Goyle put me in box so they could carry me down to the dungeons.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Harry! Have you seen Hermione?" asked Ron.
"No I haven't seen her since Care of Magical Creatures."
"Yeah and now it's dinner time. Ginny have you seen Hermione?"
"No I haven't and frankly I don't care." she said and then stormed off.
"Apparently she's still pissed about earlier. Let's ask Draco after dinner."
"Ok, Ron. Hey don't you think it's kind of funny how we're talking to Draco?"
"Umm… yeah it is. And do you know what else is weird?"
"No, what?" Harry asked worried.
"Well Crabbe and Goyle aren't here and you know how much they love food."
"Yeah, Shane and Blaise aren't her either."
"Do you suppose they have anything to do with why Hermione has been missing since our second class." They ran over to Draco and told him what they though. He jumped up and ran out of the Great Hall with them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok, Blaise take the silencing charm off." Shane said.
"Ok, but don't you think someone will hear her if she screams." Blaise said as he did what he was told.
"No dumb-ass, I put a silencing charm on the room and besides no one knows where this room is except for-"
"ME!"
"DRACO!" Shane said, well yelled.
"Yes it's me and I would like it if you would let Hermione go."
"How about no." said Blaise.
