Chapter 3: Painfully Annoyed

Ginny was annoyed. It was everybodys' first day back to classes and she had just finished potions. Professor Snape had decided to be a bigger pain in the ass for the Gryffindors today and Ginny had lost thirty points for her house, AND gained herself a detention, because she was caught whispering to Colin Creevey. Walking out of the classroom and on her way to Care of Magical Creatures she collided into a hard, muscular chest.

"Weasel, didn't your mother teach you to look where you're going?"a voice drawled, sending shivers down her spine.

"Malfoy, I am really not in the mood," she said, looking into his cold grey-blue eyes. "I just want to get to my next class." She tried to move past him but he held his arm out in front of her. She growled in annoyance."Malfoy move, or I am going to be late."

"No, I think that you should apologize for actually touching me," he replied in a superior tone. "Now, because of you, I have to throw away these brand new robes," Draco said,gesturing to his crispy clean outfit.

"Oh, I am so sorry," she remarked sarcastically. "I will hopefully never come into physical contact with you again." A painful memory graced her presence after realizing what she said. "Please just leave me alone," her voice begged.

Draco was taken back. What the hell is wrong with her? "Fine Weasley." He dropped his arm. "Just don't bump into me again, or you'll be sorry."

"I'll remember that next time." Ginny walked away.

'I wonder what that was all about. Why was she looking at me like I ripped her bloody heart out?' Still curious, Draco made his way into potions.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron had already taken there seats. "Oh look, its the famous trio. Whatcha readin' mudblood? Hogwarts A History, I presume?" Draco snarled.

Ron jumped quickly to her defense. "No, Malfoy she isn't," he growled out, turning back to look at the front of his friends book, "she's actually readin... Bloody hell, Hermione, do you read that everyday?"

"I am so very sorry Ronald, I didn't know that reading this book was against the laws." Hermione sniffed.

Harry snorted.

Professor Snape arrived into the room moments later, sneering and eyeing the Gryffindors with utmost distaste. Some shifted into their seats, feeling like he was a predator searching for his prey. Harry just rolled his eyes. "Miss Granger, would you like to explain to me why you are reading during my class?" he demanded.

Hermione jumped and took her nose out of the book. "I am sorry professor... I just thought that I could.."

"You thought what, Miss Granger? You thought that you could disrespect me in my class?"

"No, I am really sorry, Professor," she apologized hastily.

"Such a pity," he chanted, "I will not have you acting like a little fool in my class. Twenty points will be taken from Gryffindor for your stupidity."

"Now you wait just a bloody minute, you weren't even teaching!" Ron shouted furiously.

"Mr. Weasley, you will serve detention tonight for your outburst, just like your little sister. Tell me, is the Weasley family known only for their angry outbursts?" He sneered. "Be here at seven o'clock and remind your sister about her detention as well. If you are late, you will lose more points and recieve another detention," Snape replied with an evil smile.

A hour later the trio walked towards the Great Hall for lunch.

"I can't believe that stupid bastard gave me a detention."

"Ron, stop cursing. It's your own fault you got detention tonight. Besides, you know not to yell at a Professor, especially him," she scolded.

"Oh, I am so bloody sorry, Hermione. Next time when he treats you like shit, I'll just sit back and watch, al'right?" He turned and stormed off to the common room.

Hermione ran her hand through her now sleek, curly brown hair. "What did I do to him, Harry?" she asked in a sort of helpless tone.

"I don't know," he said, running his hand through his messy black hair as they walked through the Great Hall. "He's been so grouchy ever since our sixth year ended."

"I guess that goes for the little weasel as well," an annoyingly familiar voice replied.

The two other teens sighed with annoyance. "What's that supposed to mean Malfoy?" Harry asked Draco who currently leaned against the doors to the Great Hall.

"Well, she was acting very weird this morning." Draco appeared thoughtful. "Usually she just acts like a bitch."

"Why, you motherfu.."

He didn't get to finish. "Harry, don't." Hermione dragged him off towards their table to sit beside Ginny.

Harry, still fuming, didn't put any food onto his plate and settled for glaring at the wall.

Ginny nudged her friend. "What's wrong with Harry?"

"We had a little run in with Malfoy," Hermione advised bitterly.

"Oh, well thats nothing new. What did he say?"

"He made some comment about you."

Ginny still looked confused. "Yeah, but he does that all the time."

Her friend shrugged in reply. "Well Ron got detention too...so maybe that's bugging him. Oh that reminds me, Professor Snape said something about you having it tonight also. What did you do to get into trouble?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I basically breathed," Ginny said sarcastically.

Hermione laughed. "Yeah, well Ron decided to yell at him after Snape took points from our house, because I was reading a book in class."

"He is such a pain in the ass," she complained.

"Ginny, you are just like your brother. Ron said some of the same things, except they were a little harsher and," she babbled on, "now he's mad at me because I called him on it. What am I going to do about him? One minute we are laughing together and the next we're mad at each other," she said, completely frustrated.

"Have you tried to talk to him yet?"

Hermione pouted, guilty as charged. "No, but that doesn't mean anything. What if he doesn't feel the same way, Ginny? I couldn't bear it."

"He might. You should just ask him." Harry piped in.

She squeaked in outrage. "Harry Potter, how long have you been listening to mine and Ginny's conversation?"

"Long enough to know that you like Ron. Look, maybe you should just talk to him like Ginny suggested," Harry said.

"Yeah, maybe. Thanks Harry." She gave him a little hug.

Ginny seemed annoyed for the fifteenth time that day. "Hello! I have been telling you that for TWO years now."

Harry and Hermione laughed.

"Thanks, Ginny," she said, giving her a hug too.

"You are very welcome," Ginny replied, smiling mischievously. "Now you have to go talk to Ron."

Hermione groaned.

AN: Thanks to everybody who reviewed my second chapter.

I know that I had alot of Ron/Hermione in this one, but just be patient for the D/G stuff. Stephanie will also be back in the next chapter.
