"This is never gonna work,"
Kagome looked over her shoulder at the brunette who had her school robes wrapped tightly around her. "Of course not," She pulled her wand out and muttered, "Evanesco~" watching the robe vanish from Hermione's vice-like grip. She smirked when the witch cried out at the loss of her uniform. "Don't worry about it, I'll have another sent to your room, but you won't be needing it while out of the corridor or unless it's cold." She cocked a hip and sighed, "you've got a lot going for you Hermione, why hide it?"
"I don't have anything going for me, and y-you can't just wave my wardrobe away!"
Saying it just loud enough that she garnered some curious glances from a group of Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, both of which laughed at the loudly exclaimed comment. Until a Slytherin stepped forward.
Kagome paused in her steps and turned to watch the scene unfold before her. It had been a long three days dealing with Hermione's erudite, high-strung and occasionally bossy temperament, having to rewire her to be a bit more relaxed, although that was a bust. She in the end, agreed to carefully construct her words around conversations that were dependent on a good outcome. 'Though, you can't please everyone...I wonder how that's gonna go?'
"If it isn't Granger. What's the little know-it-all doing following around one of our own?" He directed the question to Kagome, but his eyes wandered over the clothes and cleanly tidied hair that fell in silken styled curls over her shoulders. Despite the book of Advanced Wand Waving that was held under Hermione's arms, without the robe hiding her away, she pulled off confidence and charm quite well as she turned and walked past him with soft and commanding steps.
"I can put house pettiness aside for an easy O, Flint. Why, you have a problem with my studying with a Gryffindor? Surly my personal affairs won't make you lose sleep."
"Watch it, Princess."
She raised a brow at that. "Princess? I thought that was strictly reserved for Greengrass."
The rest of the Slytherins had left with the Hufflepuffs, as they'd been heading to class when this whole ordeal began. Contrary to popular belief, Slytherins did take their classes quite seriously. Just as most students did.
"We all saw the way Snape jumped in t' dock points from Parkinson for you. Wonder what that's about."
Kagome's hand, which had already been holding her wand from before when she'd removed Hermione's cloak, tightened on the Red Oak wood. "Flint, I would recommend keeping your mouth shut about things you haven't the slightest clue about."
"Marcus! You've got a problem, mate?"
Marcus Flint, Hermione and Kagome all turned to see Blaise making his way over to the three with a bothered look on his face.
"What's it to you, Zabini? Come to protect your new girlfriend and her pet?"
"Kagome, should we get a teacher?"
"And miss this excitement? Merlin's, no." She couldn't help but smile at the disapproving look Hermione was throwing her way.
"What happened between Kagome and Pansy is hardly any of our business, why are you getting so uptight about it?"
"Because Snape's never docked a Slytherin...ever."
"That's enough, Mr. Flint."
Everyone froze.
'Spoil sport!' Kagome turned, "Professor..."
"Should I be inclined to dock points, Mr. Flint, that is of my own volition. Would you care to discuss my recent choices in detention?"
"N-no, Professor Snape."
He nodded, "all of you, get to class. Your late."
And so, they were. Separating, Blaise left with Hermione to their Herbology class, while Kagome vacated the hall towards her Transfiguration class with Marcus behind her. Her father left to his classroom, but the problem remained at her heals.
"Do you know what I think?"
"I don't, but I get the feeling your gonna tell me." Kagome suddenly found herself being pushed back hard against a stone wall. She avoided her head being knocked back and glared up at the much taller Slytherin.
"I'm thinking that you've been doing some things to garner such favorability with our Head of House. By things, I of course mean―"
Kagome brought her knee up as hard as she could and watched his eyes widen and mouth open. "I know what you meant. Now, shell we reconvene later, or are we finished here?" She didn't bother to wait for him to come to his senses. Passing him up and turning down the hall, she entered quietly into the room and apologized to her Professor for being so late.
"What excuse do you have, Miss. Higurashi. I stated early on, tardiness will not be tolerated."
"Yes, I understand. I was held up by an older student who wished a word with me...I assure you; it will not happen again."
"...sit down, Miss. Higurashi."
Kagome took her seat and sighed silently in her head. 'He's lucky I didn't blast him with my wand. I could think of a good number of charms from my dad's old spell book that would have done wonders on his already poor personality.' She jumped when a hand prodded her shoulder, she glanced over to see a boy with blonde curly hair pointing at his book and the page number. Smiling, she nodded and pulled her own book out before turning to page 177 of her text.

"So, it's quite a bit nippy out here, where's your robe?"
Hermione blushed and shook her head, "it's gone. Kagome vanished it." She gave a side glance at the Slytherin on her right, waiting for an insult or put down from him. When none came from the Italian wizard, she assumed that was the end of it but...well.
"It's not just looking the part, Granger, you have to act it too." He smirked, brushing a stray black lock from his eyes before opening the door to the Herbology greenhouse, "Own this look, Granger. It works for you."
She felt her cheeks burn fiercely at the whispered complement and watched him wonder off to his pals. One of which, Draco, acknowledged him with barely a lift of his head as he seemed to be worlds away with his thoughts. He never once glanced up at Hermione during class, and she found herself feeling a bit...disappointed. The attention that she did garner, had mostly been from her own House. Ranging from mildly confused eyes to hormonally unbalanced grins. She had mixed feelings about it all, to be perfectly honest. Back in the hall, she had been graced with Marcus Flints once over, but his mind was on Kagome while his eyes were on her. It was awkward until Kagome finally pulled his eyes away from her. For that, Hermione was thankful. Then Blaise showed up saving both herself and Kagome...not to mention Snape. A slight chill ran along her arms and she found that she was truly missing her warm cloak. 'Blast...Kagome, I'll be sure to return the favor!'
