A/N: the song to listen to while reading this is 'natural woman' by 'Aretha Franklin.' Why? I hear you ask. The simple answer is purely because I'm listening to it at this time right now and that's all. Not because it has any relevance to the chapter or anything. That is all.

Chapter six: Hermione.

"He had to choose a super duper hard potion to do, didn't he?" Ron asked his friends.

"Oh come on Ron. It's really 'super duper' easy when you think about it." Hermione said.

"NO! Please don't think!" Harry said putting his arms over his head as if to shield it from something.

"Why?" Ron asked stupidly.

"Because you will explode and cover us all in you skull!" Harry said still shielding his head. Hermione tried to suppress a laugh because Snape just looked over at them. She gave Harry a jab in the ribs to indicate that Snape was watching and, although a bit slow, Harry caught on and quickly put his arms down.

"HELL NO!" Blaise shouted.

"What has gotten into him?" Harry asked rhetorically.

"I don't know." Ron answered.

"Now who's being thick?" Harry asked rhetorically again.

"Me." Ron said hanging his head in mock shame. Hermione tried to suppress another giggle, not very successfully but the point is she tried.

When she next looked up from her work Draco was strutting and smirking his way towards her. Oh great. She thought. What does he want now?

"Hey Hermione." He said totally ignoring Ron and Harry. Oh how I burn at his rudeness!

"What now 'Drakie-poo'?" Hermione said imitating Pansy.

"I wanted to know if-" He started but Hermione cut him off.

"No."

"Not even-"

"NO" Hermione said trying to get the message through his thick head. How thick can you get? No way will I ever tutor him! She thought.

"Hermione, was Draco actually talking to you then? Without insulting you?" Harry asked.

"No Harry" Hermione said sarcastically. "He was talking to my chair."

"Oh." Harry said faking a dawning expression. "Ok then." Hermione couldn't help but let her giggles get the better of her this time.

A/N: You know what? I hadn't thought of it before but someone said something that made me think. Do you think Harry and Ron should get together? It might add comical value cough cough or be super duper freaky ass shit. I like it. Tell me what you think! This might be a new record. Five updates in under an hour! I rock! Do the happy dance!
