The new re-edited version of Chapter One. With errors deleted. Sort of.

Enjoy the revamped goodness! xD

'Hermione!'

Hermione chose to ignore the yell.

'HERMIONE!' It was Lavender Brown, a fellow Gryffindor.

'What is it this time, Lavender? Your Herbology assignment? The Potions essay?'

'No, of course not! Say… do you remember that time Harry and Ron challenged you to fly on Harry's broomstick and I told them you were meant to be tutoring me?'

'Uh… yes…' Hermione replied. 'But what does that have to do with anything?'

'Do you recall saying, "Oh, thank you so much Lavender! I will now do you a favour. Anything! Just tell me"?'

'No, I only said that I was really grateful, and thank you.'

'You still owe me a favour for that.'

'Depends what it is… I mean, it's not like I'm gonna do all of your homework for the rest of the year…'

'No! It has NOTHING to do with lessons!'

But every single favour linked to me has something to do with lessons! Hermione thought. 'B-but…'

'Well… you see, I have a crush…'

'You always have a crush…'

'A colossal crush…'

'You always have that, too.'

'It's like, the real thing, you know?'

'No, I don't know, and unless you ask for the favour soon I'm leaving!

'Alright, fine! You see… since you're so… confident and all… I was hoping you could ask him stuff… and talk to him, then tell me his interests and all… then you can ask him to go out with me! It's a foolproof plan!' Lavender announced, grinning and blushing.

'I see… which house is this guy in?'

Lavender giggled. 'Well… he's in Slytherin… You know… bad boys have their charms!' Then Lavender almost squealed.

'Lavender, don't tell me you're in love with Draco Malfoy!'

Lavender made a face. 'That arrogant git? Hell no!' she said.

Hermione had a horrified look on her face. 'You just can't!'

'Oh yes I can! He is quite charming you know…' Lavender remarked.

'But Crabbe is terribly ugly! Ugh, I know they say don't judge a book by its cover, but he's both dumb AND ugly! It isn't him? Why did you pick Goyle then? Lavender, do you need glasses, because I can conjure some up for…' Hermione trailed off, when she saw how Lavender was staring at her, and flushed.

Lavender whisper-yelled, 'Don't yell it out! No, I don't like any of them, I like another boy! Now let me just finish!' Hermione listened as Lavender whispered the name into her ear. Her eyes widened.

'HIM! How can I get close enough to HIM!' she whisper-yelled back. Lavender shh-ed her and continued.

'I don't know… it's up to you how you do it! I'm just the one asking for the favour!' she said, and grinned quite wickedly (in Hermione's opinion). Hermione groaned.

'Lavender! This is mission impossible!' she argued.

Lavender laughed. 'Hermione… weren't you the one who always say nothing's impossible as long as you work on it?' Then she walked off. 'Well, I'm going to Divination now… bye, then.'

Hermione ran as fast as she could to the Arithmancy classroom.

She thought about the impossible task from Lavender.

Blaise Zabini? How can I get close to Blaise freaking Zabini?
