"So Hermione, I assumed you're ready for our test in Transfiguration later, right?" Harry asked nervously.
"Duh Harry, ofcourse she's ready. What kind of question is that." Ron mumbled. Harry just ignored him and faced the brunette again.
"-Well I was kinda hoping you know, help me out here . . . I kinda forget the last note Professor McGonaggal told us yesterday." He said as he scratched his head.
Ginny on the other hand glared at his boyfriend before Emma could even retort, "What? I thought you already studied last night?"
Harry scratched his head with that, "Er- about that . . ."
"- Harry didn't actually studied, he slept the whole study period at the common room last night." Lavender piped in, Harry groaned with that as he glared at his bestfriend's girlfriend,
"Gee thanks alot Brown." He scowled, "No problem Potter." She smiled innocently, making Harry roll his eyes.
"Oooh someone's in trouble." She added, as Ginny glared at Harry again, Ron laughed with that.
"Well - Hermione, you seem quiet. What's wrong?" Lavender began to ask as she noticed the brunette across of her was really quiet.
The brunette just stood silent, eyes widened as she sinked in what Dan - I mean, what Harry Potter just said, 'There's a bloody quiz?!' She cried to herself.
'Oh my god, I can't fail this test. Hermione didn't fail a single test! If I fail this, they would think something's wrong and I can't just say that I was just some actress playing her role and the character of their bestfriend. It'll sound mental as it already is!' She thought again to herself, this time she started to panic.
"What the bloody hell will I do, now?" She muttered to herself. She groaned in frustration not realizing the other Gryffindors staring at her, confused. "What's the matter with you, 'mione?" Ginny asked her, really concerned.
Emma watched them, and stood silent. She doesn't know what to say, "I - I'm alright. Just a little flustered right now." She mumbled.
Harry, Ron, and Ginny furrowed their brows with that, "Why? What's wrong?" Harry asked. "I . . . uh - what's the test all about, again?" Emma asked sheepishly and her friends just stared at her, shocked. As if they can't believe what she just said.
"Do my ears decieve me? or I'm just hearing things." Ron said, "Gee Ronald, I don't know, you tell me . . . " Emma scowled, she was annoyed - not by them, but about this bloody mess.
For the fact that for once she doesn't know what to do. Usually she handles situations pretty good, but now - she's not so sure anymore.
"Oh Bloody freaking hell . . ." Emma kept muterring as she went out of their common room and walked towards back to the Great Hall to meet her fellow Gryffindor. After the fuss' earlier, she decided to go back to her room and get some few books for a bit of 'review' before the test.
Good thing they have Potions first before Transfiguration, but it doesn't change the fact that she wants to go back home and leave this madness.
She took, The Beginner's Guide for Transfiguration Grade 1 - for some bit of easy notes, and the Advance Transfiguration Grade 7.
Geezz it was there 7th year already, great! "I better find out how to end this before they graduate." She muttered to herself.
"Reading . . . again?" A voice came out of nowhere, "- don't sound to shock, Freddie. Our little brain box always read." Another voice followed.
The brunette stopped at her tracks and gazed behind the two boys following her. Emma's eyes went wide as she saw two redhead twins smiling at her. James and Oliver Phelps.
Ahh her two favorite twins in the world.
Emma was quite fond of those two boys, everytime they have a break on their set, She, Dan, Rupert, Tom and the Phelps twins would hang around, talking rubbish and just laugh. Oh how she misses her friends.
but instead of voicing her thoughts, she shook her head and realized it was Fred and George Weasley, literally, standing infront of her.
Instead of running towards them and giving them a big hug - like when she saw Dan, Bonnie and Rupert who were clearly literally Harry, Ginny and Ron-
She just arched a brow at them - much like Hermione would do. "Well, you have a problem with that?" She asked, smiling.
Fred shaked his head and chuckled, "Neh we're just concern that's all-"
"- we're afraid that, that brain of yours will explode." George continued. Both of them laughed with their thoughts as Emma forced herself not to giggle on her own.
Then she realized, if Hermione and the others are already in their last year in Hogwarts, why are these two here? "Er- what are you two doing here, may I ask?" She asked as she continued to walk towards the Great Hall, making the two boys follow her, both were walking either sides of her.
"Just came from Hogsmeade and we decided to visit the castle for a bit, figured looking for a place to set another branch of our business-" George said, "- you know, expand it a bit. We already told you last week, haven't you forgotten?" Fred asked, rather confused.
Emma mentally slapped herself. Oh ofcourse she doesn't know. "Oh . . . I forgot, Er . . . I was quite busy . . . must've slip through my mind." She said sheepishly. The twins just shrugged,
"Well, anyways we must get back-" Fred said, "- as tempting as it is going back here and doing pranks to students again-" George continued.
"- but we should head back home.-" said Fred.
"- or Mum will kill us." They said in unison, making Emma smile with amusent, "-but we're hoping to see you in the break though -" George piped. "- not planning to stay here, aren't you?" asked Fred.
Emma carelessly just shook her head, "I wouldn't miss it for the world." She replied. The twins smiled with that, "Good."
After saying their goodbyes, the brunette found herself trapped in her tracks. Her feet wouldn't budge, it's like it was stuck in the floor.
She groaned with that, she still have some studying to do! - and worse, she'll be late for class, she wouldn't dare to see Alan Rickman, aka Professor Snape being mad at her. That is not a good sight to watch much less to experince, at all.
Then a few second later she heard a giggling voice around her, "Granger wanger stuck on the floor forever." Emma furrowed her brows with that, 'Who could this be?' She asked to herself.
Just then, she spotted two Gryffindors rushing towards her, she immedietly realized it was Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Sighing in relief, she cried, "Get me out of here!"
"Er - she encountered Peeves' pranks a hundreds of times, why would she need our help this time?" Ron quietly asked Harry as they ran towards her, the raven haired boy shrugged,
"I don't know Ron, but Hermione's being off of herself lately." He said.
Both boys stopped at their tracks as they saw a small man flying towards them, it was Peeves the Poltergeist, laughing.
"Hey am I seeing okay, is the Beaver Granger feeling week today?" He piped in. Harry and Ron glared at the Poltergeist,
"Oh shove off Peeves or else I'll call the bloody baron, you fancy that, huh?" growled Ron.
Peeves just laughed at Ron, "Oh don't try to be funny Weasley." Harry glared at him even more before he shot a nonverbal spell at Hermione - err Emma's shoes, and her feet was free,
"Oh haven't you forgot the time Malfoy almost really call him? Well, it is their house ghost, he would listen to him. You want me to call Malfoy? After all, this is Hermione you're messing with."
Harry felt satisfied as the trio saw Peeves' eyes widened and zoomed away, "It gets him everytime" Harry muttered as he chuckled,
"I'm gonna thank Malfoy for that." Ron said, chuckling also.
Emma was still in the state of shock. She kept silet after she said her thank you's to the two boys as the three of them walked back to the Great Hall.
She still couldn't believe she just bumped into Peeves the Poltergeist.
Peeves wasn't really part of the movie, but she did read about him in the books, the way he makes fun and plays around with students at the corridors or at the hall, and the way he only stops when he gets threatened about the Bloody Baron, the Slytherin ghost.
Really, this dream felt so real. It's really really weird and unnerving. 'Oh god I wanna wake up, now.' She thought to herself.
"Remind me again if it's okay to laugh at Alan? This is a dream after all." Tom whispered to Emma as he made his way to his seat, which was beside the brunette.
"Tom, shush." Emma said as she gazed upon Professor Snape who was eyeing on the two.
"Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy, what are you two whispering about over there?" He drawled.
Tom let out a gulp as he made his eyes towards Emma who just shook her head and muttered, "Nothing Sir."
'Geez Alan really scares me sometimes when he's being Snape.' He thought to himself.
He admits he really would much preffer Alan Rickman rather than Severus Snape. Tom just locked his eyes towards their Professor, listening to his lessons even though he didn't get anything he was saying.
While Emma on the other hand, was reading her Transfiguration books.
but just then, Snape caught sight of the brunette focusing into other bussiness instead of listening to his discussion, Snape went towards her, Emma was oblivious by the fact that their Potion Master was walking towards her -
Snape snatched the book away from her, a scowl painted on his face, "Miss Granger, I do hope you are aware that we are in a Potions class not Transfiguration, 20 points will be taken away from Gryffindor for not paying attention" he spat as he threw the book again on her desk, causing a big thump.
Tom's eyes went wide, along with the other students. Emma just stared nervously at her Professor as she nodded, Harry and Ron were completely bewildered-
One reason is that, 'Hermione' wasn't paying attention in class, and that was saying something!
House points were taken because of her, and that was a first.
"but Sir, she was just reading, we have a test later, there's a problem with that?"
Emma's eyes grew larger than ever, she stared at the blonde next to her, really bewildered. "Tom shush!" She hissed, but Tom just ignored her,
"This is just a dream, what's going to happen?" He whispered back. But hell no, he was so wrong.
"So Mr. Malfoy, are you implying that this class is less important than Transfiguration?" Snape drawled.
Tom's eyes narrowed as he replied casually, "Yes, this class is boring."
Gasps were heard from all over the corners of the room, Snape's eyes went wide, completely bewildered from the fact that his favorite student, and a Potion Genius Student, just said his class was boring, and Draco Malfoy's a Slytherin for Merlin's sake!
The Gryffindors and Slytherins were staring at Draco Malfoy with disbelief, he did not just said that!
"Mister Malfoy, and Miss Granger . . . you two, out of my class-" Emma and Tom went pale as their eyes' went wide, yet again. "-now."
