Chapter 6
"Hermione?" said Harry approaching the hooded girl.
Hermione turned away and continued eating her dinner. "Hermione?" continued Harry a little more demanding, he was standing behind her. "The hell do you want you wench..?" said Hermione.
"Wench? Um, well. I was wondering how you are...You know?" asked Harry timidly. "I'm fine and dandy…peachy if you must" snapped Hermione sarcastically.
"Harry what's the real reason you're here?" said Hermione angrily as she turned around and stood up in front of Harry. She still remembered what he did to her and of course what she did last time she confronted him, and so did he.
Bastard, how dare he try and talk to me...Thought Hermione.
Shit, I hope she doesn't hit me again, Thought Harry.
"Well, how are you. I heard things around the castle…" said Harry getting a little more confident.
"What that I'm a Pureblood? Well you heard right, it's true, I am" said Hermione.
"Oh, okay. So, hows Malfoy treating you?" asked Harry.
"None of you freaking business! And why would you want to know you stupid overgrown feral pompous creature for a toilet full of crap!" snapped Hermione.
A few people looked over and saw Hermione yelling at Harry. The Slytherins looked very eager at the two, hoping that Hermione would beat Harry up again.
"Well. I saw you walk with him into the forest and I thou-"
"You spied on us?" yelled Hermione.
"Not exactly-"
"What do you mean 'Not exactly', it's either yes or no!"
"No, like. Um, I mean. I..Um..I'm not sure-"
"Tell me you stupid boy!" yelled Hermione in Harry's face.
"Woah, no need to get angry" said Harry patting Hermione on the shoulder, after he did it he knew it was a very stupid thing to do.
Hermione looked at her shoulder and back into Harry's face. As she was about to punch him somebody grabbed her fist and held it beside her. She looked over to see who the bastard that stopped her from hurting Harry was.
The person let go of her hand. It was Ronald Weasley.
Yes, now I can beat him up too, thought Hermione.
"Hermione I have no idea why you have gone rotten these days but, I don't like the fact that your hurting Harry" said Ron gravely.
"Ha…He started hurting me first, I'm just getting even. Not revenge, even" said Hermione.
Then Lavender Brown walked up. "The hell do you want?" snarled Hermione staring at Lavender in fury. "Watch your mouth!" said Lavender threatingly.
"Oh what are you gonna do? Shag my boyfriend? Ha, that's right you already did, but that's so over now isn't it. Cause of you!" said Hermione sarcastically.
By now almost all of the Slytherins were watching, even Draco.
Lavender stared at Hermione furiously, then she slapped Hermione hard across the face. Hermione wasn't shocked, she was rather happy. She didn't start the fight, she was going to..How do you say, 'Protect herself' it would be considered Self Defence.
Hermione smirked. Then Draco walked up behind her and whispered into her left ear "Your first task…". Hermione knew precisely what to do. She was prepared and ready.
Hermione took her wand from her pocket and said "Felvious".
The was a bright yellow light and it travelled into Lavender Browns body. She was a bit shocked.
"Lavender! Are you ok? Hermione you fiend, what have you done?" yelled Harry, grabbing Lavender and hugging her. "I'm ok..I'm feeling great!" exclaimed Lavender touching a few parts of body to be sure that nothing was missing or was wrong.
"What? But, but..She…spell…wtf?" mumbled Harry. "Well good, see Hermione your spell back fired, instead of hurting her you made her feel great, you stupid girl" said Harry as he walked away with his Lavender.
The Slytherins looked somewhat disappointed. They turned away, and Draco turned Hermione to face him and snarled "What the fuck was that! You made her..like…better! What the hell is wrong with you!".
"M'hm, maybe you should wait the spell to take full effect? Hmm? Yes, goodbye Dra…Malfoy" said Hermione quickly correcting herself.
"Right..You had better be right Granger" called Draco as Hermione walked away to their dorms.
Hermione crept into her bed (She's already in her Pjs), and hoped to hell that her spell would work. She could hear Draco in his room, and he had company again. She rolled over so that her back was facing her door, and Draco.
She couldn't help but feel angry, and…Jealous.
"Arrgh, damn him and his sex life…man whore.." mumbled Hermione sleepily.
"Sexy..Man whore.." garbled Hermione before falling asleep.
Hermione stirred from her slumber and sat up. "Urmm…Sunday.." she murmured drowsily. She then stretched and made her way to their kitchen. She wanted something to eat and drink, something light before Breakfast.
She was wearing a very large T-shirt and some boxers (A souvenir from a Viktor). They had Broomsticks all over them. She wondered into the kitchen to fine Draco leaning on the sideboard drinking what looked like Coffee.
"Mornin Granger..For your sake that spell had better work today.." he said carelessly, yet seriously. "Oh it will.." snapped Hermione, a bit unsure of herself.
"Good".
"Isn't it just.." replied Hermione.
"I bet"
"I know!"
"I know you know!"
"Ahuh!"
"M'hm!"
"Oh this is pointless…we're arguing about absolutely nothing.." snapped Hermione.
"It only proves that I'm right.." mumbled Draco.
"What's that?" snapped Hermione.
"Nothing Granger, just get your drink and get out.." snarled Draco.
Jerk! Thought Hermione.
Hermione lost her desire to have a drink and she decided to homework and Assignments today, just so she wouldn't have to get changed into anything.
She sat there practically the whole day doing work.
After a few hours Hermione eventually ran out of work to do.
How the fuck can you run out of work! I finished all my assignments and homework! Arrgh...Thought Hermione in frustration.
Draco had left a fair while ago. Hermione had no idea what to do, she thought that maybe she should learn a few more dangerous spells. But then she realised she had know idea of the one she put on Lavender.
She had never learnt that spell before. Maybe, it was..no…she couldn't possibly have read that spell, she didn't even know what it did. Maybe it was a dud; maybe she just did something good for lavender.
Hermione cursed to herself and decided to check on Lavender. She changed quickly into another hoodie and jeans. Then she dashed out of the common room.
She ran all the way down the hall then noticed a large crowed that had gathered outside the dining hall doors. Hermione was curious and went to check it out. She pushed through the crowed, then came a small opening. Hermione glanced between the two tall shoulders in front of her and saw Lavender Brown being levitated to the sick bay.
A few people from Slytherin and Gryffindor stared at Hermione, some who looked pleased, and others who weren't. Eventually the crowed disappeared, and left Hermione to think to herself.
Lavender had looked very pale, almost with dark coloured bags around her eyes. Her fingers were all prune like, as if she had been soaked in a bath full of water for a few hours. She was..Hermione couldn't describe it, Lavender looked…Dead, but Hermione knew that she wasn't.
She was too far in deep thought that she didn't even notice when Draco appeared right in front of her. "Hey, Granger..Granger!...Ex-Mudblood!" yelled Draco, trying to get Hermione's attention. He got it all right.
"Ex-Mudblood! How dare you..you ignorant poof!" she yelled in reply. "Woah, I was just trying to get your attention…calm the hell down…" said Draco.
"And what do you mean poof!" continued Draco after realising what Hermione just said.
"Oh, um…nothing..what do you want" demanded Hermione.
"That was a good spell, where did you learn it?" said Draco casually.
"I..um, I'm not sure."
"How can you not know? Hmm…well whatever Granger. That was a great spell, worked wonders. I must admit that I was fooled in the beginning, as was everyone else. I just heard that she's being put in St.Mungo's for treatment, Madam Pomfry has no idea what's wrong with her."
"So…does that mean I succeeded in doing task one?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, I suppose it does. Cya Granger" said Draco as he turned his heel and left Hermione to stand alone in the hallway.
Hermione decided to o and get some air, she sat on the steps at the Hogwarts Gates. Then a shadow appeared behind her, she immediately turned around.
"Good Evening Miss Ganger" said Professor Snape smugly.
"Oh, evening Sir" replied Hermione, startled that he appeared before her.
"I am here to get back to you the information and news concerning your visiting the sorting hat once more. I have told Professor McGonagall of my, and your wishes of you leaving Gryffindor. He has agreed that you are having some trouble and should be sorted once more. Just so you know Miss Granger, this is a once in a Lifetime event that will surely never happen again, and you should be very gracious and thankful that this is happening for you. Good bye Miss Granger." Said Snape as he turned away.
"But, where do I meet you, or the sorting hat Professor?" asked Hermione.
"Oh" said Snape facing Hermione for a second time. "Meet me at Professor McGonagall's office at 8 pm sharp this Evening. Once more, good bye Miss Granger" and this time Snape left without any interruptions.
Hermione sat and wondered what house she would be in. Ravenclaw? Hufflepuff? Or maybe even Slytherin?
