Listening In
"Mister Malfoy! Are you okay son?" Madame Pomfrey asked…well practically screamed at a confused looking Draco Malfoy. Draco's eye's where glazed over and his hair a mess, from the fall undoubtedly.
The morning started out just as the days before, slow and boring. Until potions that is. The mix of Gryffindor's and Slytherin's sat in silence waiting for their potions master to begin class.
Hermione Grange sat patiently staring at the cover of her Advanced Potion-Making text book her head swirling with idea's of what Professor Snape had planed for the day.
"Hermione…I think I left my book in the common room…is it alright if I share with you?" Ron asked.
"Ronald really, you're going to have to be a lot more…."
Interrupting Hermione mid sentence was the nearly MIA potions master. His long black cape bellowed behind as he stormed into the dark class room.
"I trust that everyone has completed there three foot essay on the effects of Scintillating Solution, on the count that I will be counting it for triple of the point." Snape drawled.
The class let out a groan, a muffled sob could be heard for Neville Longbottom.
"Excellent. Pass them up. QUIETLY!"
Everyone who had actually done the assignment dig through their bags to retrieve it, and some students when as far as to pretended to look for an assignment. Snape collected the passed up papers and tossed them on his desk.
"Today we will be working on an extremely difficult potion the Menslectio Potion. Dose anyone knows what it means...I'm doubtful anyone dose…"
Hermione Granger's hand shoot into the air before he even finish the question. Snape looked at her flailing arm and behind her saw another, Draco Malfoy's.
"Yes Mr. Malfoy?"
"It means mind reading in Latin."
"Excellent 10 points Slytherin. Today and for today only we will be working on a mind reading potion that will be used during class. Pair up into groups of 2." Snape said.
Hermione walked turned in her chair to face Ron.
"Well Ronald seeing as you don't have you're book I think working together would be fitting." Hermione stated.
"Thanks Hermione." Ron walked to the back of the class Ron to retrieve the materials. He clumsily gathered all of the appropriate materials and walked back to the desk. Hermione began to read the recipe aloud as Ron made the potion in a small caldron.
"Okay Ron pull a strand of hair out of your head…which I hoped you washed and place it into my beaker. And I'll do the same for you're."
Ron obediently followed Hermione's instructions. They both looked suspiciously at the potion which had turned from green to black with the added strands of hair.
Hermione used her spare right hand to plug her nose and drank the potion as did Ron
Why is it every time me and Hermione work together I always have to do the hard stuff. Ron thought to him self.
Hermione's head snapped up from the book causing her hair to swing about and smack Draco in the face.
"Watch what you do with that frizzy disaster, Mudblood." Draco drawled and brushed her hair off of his sweater with his free hand.
"Shove off Malfoy!" Hermione lamely retorted as he walked away.
Goodness…after all these years you would think he would be nicer.
"Tell me about it…Malfoy can be a real prat." Ron responded.
"What Ronald?"
"Malfoy…you said you thought he'd be nicer after all these years and I said…" Hermione interjected
"Ron…it's working! Think something."
Is it working? Ron thought
It is! Wonderful. Hermione thought
"Now that everyone has had enough time to make and drink the potion come forth and take the antidote, wouldn't want any one listening in on places they shouldn't" Snape said
"Blaise I can't even here you're thought…" Draco stated
But then again who's to say you have any to begin with.
"Draco…I can here your thoughts." Blaise responded
"You say that like a give a fuck."
Hermione got up and walked to the front of the class room despite the bickering she heard from the two Slytherin's.
"Oh my, look at we have here. The mudblood looks…female…for a change." Draco crooned.
It was no secret Hermione Granger had defiantly come into her own. She looked radiant, and over the summer picked up some new…um…parts. Her hair was swept into a loose ponytail with loose curls framing her face. Draco scanned her new physique was appreciation. There was no denying how good she looked.
"Leave me alone Malfoy!" Hermione shot back.
"Who every thought that the filthiest piece of trash at Hogwarts to be this beautiful!" Draco drawled while smirking at the clearly upset girl in front of him.
"Shut up ferret! No one here cares about anything you have to say." Ron stood up to face him. Draco leaned against the desk and ran his fingers threw his soft platinum blonde hair.
"Wow…for whatever reason I do not remember addressing you. I do believe I was talking to the trash behind you…which really, in its self is such a privilege for our Head Girl. "
SMACK!
"Where am I?" A disgruntle Draco Malfoy asked.
"Dear you're in the hospital wing." Madam Pomfrey responded. And the memory of why he was there came flooding back; he was punched out by Ron Wesley.
What an embarrassment
Draco sat up in the bed to find his nose in extreme pain.
"Your much better now Mr. Malfoy…I took care of the bruising on your nose so your free to go, but if your nose starts to bleed again come back immediately." Pomfrey ordered. Cautiously Draco hoisted himself out of the bed and then left the wing.
Draco walked alone down an empty corridor and examined the dried blood that remained on his shirt. He was pissed off, someone making him look stupid, embarrassing him in front of everyone.
Poor Wesley he was no idea who he's up against.
He slowly slid his hands into the pockets in the front of his slacks and surveyed the empty corridor.
At dinner no doubt. Stuffing there fat faces, Draco though as he reached the Head's common room. After mumbling the password he was surprised to find Hermione Granger and Harry Potter on the couch.
Hermione lay unto Harry making out with him. Draco sneered at the seemingly happy couple.
"Hate to interrupt but I would appreciate it if you two didn't do such things in MY common room." Draco drawled leaning against the back of the couch with his back turned to them.
Hermione gasped and nudged a reluctant Harry Potter off of her.
"Ya um Harry you should go down to dinner." She exclaimed as she adjusted her skirt that was ridding dangerously low.
"Alright 'Mione, I'll see you in the morning" He said before kissing her one more time. He got on the couch and headed out the door leaving his flushed girlfriend alone.
Hermione quickly got up and walked swiftly to her room, only to be stopped by a large milky white hand.
"Think what your little friend did today was funny do you Mudblood?"
"He was just defending me Malfoy" She snatched her hand out of his grasp.
Ron's a gentleman unlike some of us.
"What mudblood…I didn't catch that"
"That's because I didn't say anything you jerk."
Is he going batty?
Draco gaped at her…he swore he heard her but her lips weren't moving…
Why is he looking at me like that with that disgusted look…I hate when he dose that.
Then it hit him…the potion today…A sly smirk danced on his face. He had something that could potentially ruin things for the mudblood.
"Just leave me alone!" She yelled at ran to her room.
Draco stood there in astonishment before walking into his room and preparing for and idea filled dream.
