Disclaimer: Does anyone actually read these things? I mean, seriously, even
if I didn't have one, who would care enough to muster up enough energy to
actually sue me? I mean, all it is is a stupid little notice saying that
I'm not JK Rowling and I don't own Harry Potter! Gah! I swear, they can not
make me say that I don't own Harry Potter! I will never say that I don't
own Harry Potter ever again!!!! ... Damn.
A/N: I'm very hyper. I just loaded myself up on food and I am ready to go! Woohoo! Let's go team! Let's type that computer's ass off! ::Button pops on 'Obsessed's' pants:: Well, shoot. I guess I shouldn't have had that last helping of mashed potatoes. ^_^
~*~*~**~*~*~
Though Hermione stopped going to the pool in the evenings, fate (or. a plotting PE teacher) (-Lil-spitfire, yep, U got it!--) brought them together again.
Professor Weasley managed to keep them partners for the 20 minute partner run, on the same team for basketball, and partners for skating. Needless to say, Hermione was getting a bit ticked off.
Draco and her being together four times in a row COULDN'T just be coincidence. She knew that teachers could be forgetful sometimes, but surely Professor Weasley KNEW that she'd put them together for anything that needed partners so far..
She sat on the gym floor tightening the laces on her skates and silently fuming. Ron and Harry noticed her angry silence and decided not to bug her.
She tugged the laces so hard, she almost hit Ron with her elbow.
She started muttering darkly under her breath. Hearing her, Ron blanched. Finally, he leaned in and said quietly, "Herm? What's wrong? Those are words you'd hear coming from MY mouth!"
Hermione looked up and glared at him. Ron looked a little scared and was on the verge of apologizing when Hermione blushed and said, "No, it's alright! I'M sorry. I hate being with that idiotic Slythershit, though."
Ron nodded sympathetically. "Yeah, you've been with him, what is it? Four times now?"
"Uhhuh. No offense Ron, but I really don't understand your sousin's reasoning for always putting us together.."
Ron frowned. "To tell you the truth, I don't either. But I think it probably has to do with the fact that the houses you are in are enemies, your groups of friends are enemies, and you two are enemies who want each other to disappear off of the face of this Earth!"
Hermione nodded. 'That's true,' she thought. 'But if it really is, then what was that kiss about?' She blushed just thinking about it.
Ron looked at her strangely. When Hermione realized this, she put herself back on her previous mood.
"Yes, but it's still VERY annoying! There are other enemies in this class! Why doesn't she put Malfoy and HARRY together?!"
Hermione wasn't aware of it, but her voice had unintentionally risen and the class started laughing.
She blushed and looked up, her eyes meeting Draco's, which were looking at her skeptically.
Wrenching her eyes away from his, she turned to see Harry looking at her with his arms crossed. She smiled innocently and stood up, saying, "Alright, are we just going to sit down with skates on our feet for the whole class?"
Professor Weasley, who had been looking at Hermione with raised eyebrows, came back to the real world and nodded her head, clapping her hands to get everyone's attention.
"Miss Granger is correct! We must be getting started. You all know who your partners are. Get with them and start skating!"
Professor Weasley smiled and pushed a button on her jambox. Instead of the corny Western music that the class expected, one of the newest songs from a popular wizarding group came from the speakers.
Hermione stubbornly folded her arms and waited for Malfoy while everyone else skated with their partners.
Malfoy skated up to her stiffly. "OK, you're going to have to show me how to do this; I'm a wizard, I'm better up in the sky."
Hermione paused, then looked at him dryly. "I have two comments for you. First, do I seem to be the type of Muggle who spends her Summer in the streets in shoes with wheels on them?" She glared at him. "Secondly, as for you being better in the sky, I'll keep that in mind, though I know for sure I'll never need to use that "talent" of yours."
At first, Draco just stared at her blankly. But then he comprehended the meaning of what she said. His mouth fell open and as soon as he regained his composure, he sputtered out, "I didn't know you thought like that, Hermione," making a point of saying her first name.
Hermione just stuck her nose in the air and started to skate off, feeling insecure just standing there alone with him while everyone else skated around them.
Realizing that he was now standing alone, and that Professor Weasley was staring at him pointedly, he attempted to skate after her.
She had evidently skated at least a few times because she wasn't falling and looked moderately comfortable.
This, however, was a bad thing, because no matter how hard he tried, Draco couldn't catch up with her. It was only Professor Weasley yelling out, "Stay with your partners, people!" that made her stop and wait for him.
After a few minutes and many falls, Draco finally announced, "You know, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this!"
He had mastered the concept of going from side to side by watching the Muggles (who he wouldn't have even looked at if his butt wasn't at stake).
Through the whole class, Hermione hadn't spoken another word to him after the comment about the air, so Draco was making all the "conversation".
He should have been paying attention to what he was doing, however, because he accidentally slid too far when he was going back and forth and fell. He was in a very awkward position; one leg was beneath him while his other was stretched out to his side.
"Oooo, that hur-" His painful statement was interrupted by a yell behind him.
Suddenely, there was a crash and Draco's leg felt like it was being wrenched out as a blur of red fell over him.
"Ow!" both Draco and Ron yelled at the same time.
Ron sat up and put a finger to his lips, taking away blood on his hand as he did so. Ron cursed and called Draco some names that he really SHOULDN'T have said in front of his cousin.
"What? I didn't do anything! It was an accident!" Draco claimed.
"Ha! Yeah right! You and everyone else in this room knows you did that on purpose!"
"Oh, and hurt my own arse just to aggravate you?"
"Don't ask me! You're the crazy one!"
"WHAT is going on here?!" Shaylee's voice broke through the arguing. "He tripped me!" Ron burst out.
"Oh, I did not!" Draco cried back. "It was a bloody accident!" (Hehe, no pun intended!)
Professor Weasley looked at both of them skeptically. "Can anyone vouch for this?" She looked around at the room of kids who were all staring at her blankly. Draco's face brightened, knowing that Hermione had seen him fall.
However, as the silence went longer, the smile dimmed and he looked up to see Hermione looking innocently blank, along with the rest of the class.
Professor Weasley crossed her arms and said, "Well, since no one SAW anything and you two can't seem to agree on what happened, I'll have to give BOTH of you detention. TONIGHT!!!"
She skated away, ignoring the protests the two boys were calling out.
After the crowd had dispersed and they had started skating again, Draco turned to Hermione and said, "Why didn't you say something? You saw me fall!"
Hermione looked at him with a look just short of loathing. "If you're at detention, that means I get to swim tonight."
Ooooooo.. That's all for this chappy, folks! Does Professor Weasley know what she's doing? Is Ron planning Draco's untimely death? (^_^) Does Hermione really loathe Draco? Was she really in the right mind when she told Draco where she was going that night? You'll see on the next chapter of Troubled Waters! (Hehe, actually, I'm thinking of putting a filler chappy in about Shay and Sev instead of the one I've got written about Herm and Draco right now. What d'y'all say? -Wow, that was a hickish accent!--)
Thanks to my lovely five reviewers! Now, I'm hurt! Y'see, I asked for 5 reviews. And I gottem. But only five! No more! No, if that don't hurtcha, I dunno what will! ^_^ I love typing in my native language. ^_^
Kaitiland13: Wow. Thanks, I'm very grateful for your compliments. Talk about nice!!! ^_^
Lil-spitfire: Heh, notice I used your little television announcer thing up there. ^_^ Yeah, don't worry, he'll get slapped. I'm writing ahead whenever I'm bored in a class, and I think I've figured out where to put a good slap. ^_^
KEL-71E: Thank you! And, yeah maybe just a little young, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind. ^_^ Oh, and I think anyone who has half a brain is obsessed with Draco (well, maybe not the Harry lovers. ^_^)
Kelsey: Wow. Um, no offense, but what were you on when U reviewed this? ^_^ JJ, but I think the compliment was a little too high for me. ^_^ But I'll take it NE way! ^_^ Thank you so much, U don't kno how much that meant to me!
Allee katt: Hehe. Ooo, I wish I was in a pool with him, too. I wonder if Hermione would want to switch me spots. ^_^ Don't I wish!
A/N: I'm very hyper. I just loaded myself up on food and I am ready to go! Woohoo! Let's go team! Let's type that computer's ass off! ::Button pops on 'Obsessed's' pants:: Well, shoot. I guess I shouldn't have had that last helping of mashed potatoes. ^_^
