Wow, two chapters in a day! I can update real quick when I actually want to... thanks for all the reviews guys!
(From the POV of no one again)
'Granger? Puh-lease!' a sly voice was heard behind the group.
'Zabini… you wouldn't go THAT low that you would want to seduce the Mudblood! What proof do you have of it, anyway?' It was Draco Malfoy, who was now snickering at Blaise.
'Shut your hole, Malfoy.' Blaise replied. 'Granger gave me a questionnaire to fill out. She said it was from a "fellow Gryffindor girl". It might as well be her.' He held out the piece of parchment.
Draco snatched the parchment and took a glance at it. 'You sure Zabini? The first question that says "OMG! Blaise, u r soooo hot! How come?" doesn't sound like the Mudblood to me!' Draco argued back.
'Well… have it ever came across you that "Mudblood" is smart enough to not leave traces of her laying around?'
'But…' Draco continued.
'Case closed' Blaise cut off, and went marching to his next lesson, Defence Against Dark Arts. He really hates that Umbridge lady.
'At this rate if the Dark Lord comes even Potter will die…' he thought. Then he sighed, as another boring lesson begins.
(Blaise's POV)
That Umbridge is such a bitch. Not that I'm a supporter of Potter now or anything, but I still consider it quite unfair we aren't allowed to practice any magic. So far, I think the best teacher is that Remus Lupin. Too bad he has to resign; he looked like he was quite enjoying teaching us. I wonder what happened…
'Ahem- hem!' Um-bitch continued whenever she wanted the class' attention. 'Please everyone read your books on Chapter…' and then she droned off. I opened my book lazily, and continued reading. This is boring…
I looked around the class after quite a long while. It felt like hours, when the lesson isn't even halfway finished. The rest of the class wasn't very amused either, and it looks like they're falling asleep. Eww… Longbottom's drooling on his books! Then I saw Potter and Weasley staring at something. I looked at the same direction they are. Granger continuously put her hand up. I continued to stare at her hopeless attempt. It was more amusing than some textbook on whatsoever… It looks like she was a statue that somehow was able to still bounce up and down, trying to get the fat teacher's attention. I felt like snickering at her, and telling her "It's mission impossible, Granger, even for you".
After a while, a couple of minutes or so, probably all the students that weren't asleep were staring at Granger, constantly ignored by Um-bitch (that's what we Slytherin Umbridge-haters call her. Just because she praises the arrogant twits like Malfoy doesn't mean she does to all of us. We're not all like that stupid little… Well… back to Granger's attempt now). Finally, at the end she decided to stop pretending.
'What is it Miss Granger?'
'I finished reading the chapter.' I sighed. I'm not very surprised. After all the class watching, that's all she's got to say.
'Well then, continue to the next chapter.' Umbridge continued with her sweet, sugary disguised voice.
'I finished reading the whole book.' Granger replied. Now THAT'S amusing. The whole class stared at her again, having a feeling that this argument is going to go somewhere.
Granger then said how she doesn't agree with the theory of some guy. Thinking about it, neither do I, really. Then that teacher just told her that her opinion doesn't matter. I looked around the class. A few students that looked like they were about to put up their hand cowered. It seems that they now realise the Ministry doesn't give a damn about their freedom of speech, as they call "opinion". I heard Potter say that the Ministry started messing with Hogwarts because Fudge is frightened of Dumbledore. Father, on the other hand is glad, since getting rid of Dumbledore means getting rid of the Dark Lord's only obstacle. And… well… if you know my dad, he's a Death Eater. Not something any boy would be very proud of. Except probably that arrogant git Malfoy… but we'll never know. Father kept trying to assure me that to support the Dark Lord is to support the right thing. I don't know… a murderous wizard that just wants to kill people doesn't sound right to me…
(Now back to Hermione's view)
I feel very annoyed. You know why? That Umbridge… the Ministry's really going crazy, thinking Dumbledore's training his own personal army. Not only that, she also hates half-breeds, trying to get rid of mermen last time. And now, she's probably gonna put Hagrid on probation! She already put Trelawney on one.
Then I still got Lavender's task to do. Zabini probably haven't thought about the test yet by now… I'll just ask him tomorrow. Strange, he could've done it in our "lesson" of Defence Against Dark Arts. Waste of time… I can't wait until the lesson have finished…
Thank god, it seemed like WEEKS before the end of the lesson. Then I saw Zabini walk out of the classroom. He spotted me, and yelled.
'HEY! GRANGER! I'LL REPLY YOUR PARCHMENT LATER TONIGHT!' he yelled. I blushed, as everyone stared at me.
Then everyone started whispering to their friend… probably about me. I overheard some saying.
'Would you believe it? That bookworm has a crush!' A girl giggled.
'Isn't that cute?' Another voice was heard.
'I always knew she likes the Slytherins…' I overheard Hannah Abbott.
Oh great, now they ALL think I have a crush on Blaise Zabini!
'Cheer up, Hermione, better you than me.' Lavender said as she tried to comfort me.
Hah. That's easy for her to say. 'Why did Zabini have to make it sound like I gave him a love letter?' I said, annoyed. Lavender was now curious whether I told him it was her or anything. I shook my head. She sighed with relief.
'I'm sorry Hermione. But if you get us to go out all the rumours about you will be gone, right?'
Look there. Lavender just found me another reason to make her go out with Zabini. After all the problems it has caused me, and it's the first day I started this whole thing. At least it'll be gone tomorrow…
I was wrong. It got even bigger today. Ron was all angry at me saying how "evil" Slytherins are, Harry attempting to stop him, saying how Malfoy might be annoying but that doesn't mean all Slytherins are, and then RUMOURS RUMOURS RUMOURS!
'Hermione… Blaise is coming!'
'Hey, Granger. I've got Zabini's address. I'll sell it to you for only 2 Galleons.'
I have repeatedly told people that I DON'T fancy Blaise Zabini, but no one trusts me, and just giggled as they walked along. Morons…
'Missing Zabini, Granger?' a familiar voice was heard.
'Malfoy…' Harry hissed under his breath.
'What's the matter Potty? Scared that your little Mudblood girlfriend isn't going to like you anymore?'
'Don't you insult Hermione!' Harry yelled, then pulled out his wand.
'Ooh… Pothead's gonna act tough! Well then, so will I!' Malfoy pulled out his wand. Oh great, another duel between those two will just make things worse… Ron looked scared stiff, stuttering a lot, not knowing what to do.
'Stop it you guys! You're being idiots! Harry, don't worry about him teasing me, he ALWAYS does that because he's an immature twit!' I tried to break them up. They weren't even listening, and now probably forgotten what they were fighting about, now just about to cast spells on each other for thrill.
'What is going on in here?' A familiar dark voice said. It was Snape. Oh great, another detention for me…'
'You see, Professor, Potter and Weasley were about to launch spells on me, and they certainly would've done so if Granger hasn't attempted to stop them.' Malfoy lied.
'I see… Potter, Weasley, detention!' Snape ordered.
'B-but I… I…' Ron still stuttered. Poor guy, he got into trouble for nothing.
'No buts Weasley! It's tonight!' Snape continued. This time, Harry was talking.
'But Professor…' he started. Snape sighed with annoyance.
'What is it now, Potter!' he said impatiently. 'I'm not your babysitter you know!'
'I've got a detention with Professor Umbridge tonight!' Harry objected. Snape looked like he was thinking about it for a moment.
'With Umbridge, eh? Alright Potter, you got out of it this time…' Then he walked off. Harry wasn't glad about this, he looked like he would MUCH rather a week's worth of detention with Snape than a day with Umbridge.
Harry and Ron then walked off, to continue their Quidditch practice.
'What is it Malfoy?' I asked as I glared at him. He paused, then continued.
'You see Granger… I believe you when you say you DON'T like Zabini… now... I need to discuss to you about that…'
That's the end of Chapter 3! Chapter Four will probably be entitled Rumours... but we'll never be sure with a crazy author like me... lol After I think about it, the chapters get longer as I continue to write... but the next one might be shorter, might be longer. Not so sure... (a sign of bad authorism) Heh heh...
