A few more days passed and Christmas holidays were almost over. The students were slowly returning to school. Classes were due to start in two days and Hermione was excited as usual to start the new term. Harry and Ron of course were complaining that it wasn't a long enough break and something about 'they're out to get us', but Hermione didn't really pay much attention to their whining about school. Instead she spent most of her time hanging around in her common room with Draco, she thought what he did for her was really sweet but something about Sacha just worried her, so she didn't want to give her too much of a chance to be alone with Draco. It was almost Dinner time and Hermione was sitting in Gryffindor common room talking with Harry, Ron, Ginny, Meaghan, Louise, Olivia and Raju. Draco had suggested they spend at least a little bit of time a part and Hermione agreed, she was spending a little too much time with him and was running out of reasons even though 'You never want to spend time with me' usually worked but she couldn't use it forever, so she gave in and went to see her own friends. At the moment Ron was back onto talking about Ginny's love interest Seamus, who was her new boyfriend.

"What happened to Dean?" Ron asked angrily.

"Louise is with Dean! And what does that matter if I was with Dean you'd still be complaining so just stop it!" Ginny spat angrily.

"You like too many guys for your own good!" Ron said.

"What's it to you if I have a few boyfriends! I don't sit here complaining about Olivia!" Ginny said.

"Hey! Don't go bringing me into this" Olivia said.

"Sorry it's just you are the only example I have" Ginny said apologetically to Olivia but at the same time meaning to insult her brother.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Ron asked angrily.

"I think you're old enough to figure it out yourself!" Ginny said and she got up and started to walk away.

"That's it where is Seamus I need to have a word with him!" Ron said.

Ginny turned around quickly and headed back towards them, she pointed at Ron angrily.

"You stay away from him Ron! Or I'll hex you into oblivion!" Ginny said fiercely and she walked out of the common room.

"What is up with her?" Ron asked the group of people around him.

"No offence mate but you are prying into her life just a little bit more then you should be" Harry said.

"Really?" Ron asked them and they all nodded.

"Oh alright fine! I'll accept Seamus but if another one comes along I'll-I'll, well I don't know what I'll do but it will be horrible" Ron said.

After that they changed the subject for a while before they headed down to dinner.

Christmas holidays were finally over and Hermione was up in her room preparing for the school day ahead of her, she couldn't wait to get back to work. Draco on the other hand was not excited about starting the new term and was making no effort what so ever to get ready in time for breakfast. He was still lying in bed his clothes were scattered over his desk and he had no idea where he had put his wand. After another 10 minutes after he heard Hermione yell from down in the common room.

"Draco! Are you ready yet? We are going to be late! If I come in there and you are still in bed you will be in trouble!" Hermione called.

"Alright, Alright…Mum" Draco called back.

"Thank-you" Hermione called up the stairs obviously she didn't hear the 'Mum' part of his reply.

Harry, Ron and Raju were already heading for the Great Hall for breakfast.

"So, new term this should be fun" Ron said sarcastically.

"Yeah, fun" Raju replied sardonically.

"I'm already jumping up and down with joy, watch me go" Harry said tiredly.

"Well you know it will be fun to see Hermione jumping up and down when she gets her timetable" Ron said with a smile on his face.

"Maybe she won't this time" Raju said.

"No, believe me Raju she will she gets more excited about school then anything else! She is still planning to send a letter to the minister of magic complaining that there are only seven grades" Harry said with a bit of a chuckle.

"I'll be first to murder her if she does" Ron said.

"Me second" Raju said.

"Well I'd rather be here then the Dursleys, but adding more years for school, I'm defiantly third" Harry swore jokingly.

The Three boys laughed and headed into the hall and took their seats at the Gryffindor table and began to eat Breakfast.

Olivia, Meghan and Louise were quickly heading out of the Gryffindor common room and off to the great hall, they were a little bit late.

"Oh my god, how could we sleep in so late?" Meaghan said as she ran down the stairs.

"I don't know, beginning of term bad luck?" Olivia suggested.

"Come on, we are only fifteen minutes late… that's not too bad" Louise said.

"Yeah, but it's enough, by the time we have something to eat we will be late for class" Meghan said as they ran down the corridor.

"Well, don't eat so much" Olivia said jokingly.

"Hey, I have to keep my strength up" Meghan said defensively Olivia and Louise only laughed.

"Come on we are almost there" Louise said speeding up.

They reached the doors which were already open and stopped running immediately and walked quickly over to their seats hoping that no one had noticed their late arrival.

"Hey, why are you all so late?" Harry asked.

"Oh, you know beauty sleep" Meghan said.

"We have all of your timetables" Hermione said and she passed them over to them.

"Oh! Potions first!" Louise whined.

"Hey just feel lucky that we are still in potions, Snape only keeps his best students after fifth year" Hermione said.

"Yeah, but I hate him so much, he is like a bug" Louise said.

"I wish I could squash him" Harry said.

"Oh, Oh, Me too" Ron said enthusiastically.

The girls laughed and took their seats and something to eat before rushing off to the dungeons for their first lesson of the term, Potions.

They all lined up outside the classroom and awaited Snapes arrival. It was not too long before he was there and ordering people about as usual. Louise, Olivia, Meghan and Hermione all sat at a table in the back next to the table Harry, Ron, Raju and Dean were sitting at. Snape took very little time to begin the lesson with a lot of work. Today they would be learning the Vanishing Potion, but before they could begin with that they had to copy out the paragraphs on the board and the very long list of instructions then they could begin to make the potion. It also took very little time for Ron to start complaining about their workload. He groaned loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"It seems Mr. Weasly that you don't think there is enough work here after you have finished copying the instructions and then write me two rolls of parchment containing an essay on the Vanishing Potion and its effects and the reversal jinx" Snape said off the top of his head.

"And," Snape added to Ron, "A detention for you Mr.Weasly for disrupting the class"

After Snape had set them the extra work it wasn't only Ron complaining.

"Sir that's a bit much for the first days of term don't you think!" Louise called out.

"No I do not Miss Borderlaire, but clearly you have so much free time right now that you need to call out in my class so again before you start making your potion you must all copy out pages 158 through to 165 in your books, any work not finished here in class will be homework, now get to it" Snape said angrily.

"Now, its way too much work!" Louise said angrily, ignoring Hermione's warnings to be quiet.

"That's it Miss. Borderlaire on more word and you will be joining Mr. Weasly in Detention!" Snape said menacingly.

"I'm not doing it" Louise said confidently.

"Fine, you can finish all the work here and more during your detentions with me every weekend at 7 o'clock for the rest of the month!" Snape said loudly.

Louise finally shut up but she didn't do her work to everyone's surprise she put her books away and just sat there. It didn't take Snape very long to realize that she was not working; he approached the table where she sat.

"May I ask what you are doing?" Snape asked.

"No you may not" Louise said quietly.

"What, did you say?" Snape asked angrily.

"Nothing," she said, "Professor"

"Now tell me why you are not doing your work" Snape ordered.

"Are you stupid or do you just have a really bad memory, you told me to finish all my work when I'm in detention and that's what I plan on doing" Louise said simply.

"Fine then, just make sure you get the work done" Snape said and he turned around and headed back to his desk.

"You stupid head" Louise muttered to herself, to her dismay Snape had heard this.

"That's it! 50 points from Gryffindor and you now have a months worth of weekend detentions!" Snape said angrily.

Louise looked over at Hermione who was staring at her shocked, Olivia and Meaghan also look shocked put pleased and Harry and Ron were trying hard to contain their laughter. Louise didn't talk back this time instead she just sat there until the bell went.
