Chapter 5

A few days have passed and nothing happened. While in Potions though….that's a different story.

"Watch it Malfoy!" exclaimed Hermione. She was currently cutting some roots for their project, but Malfoy just had to "accidentally" bump into the table and almost made her spill the whole toxic potion onto herself.

Draco rolled his eyes, "Why should I do that mudblood?" he drawled. She clenched her fists…if it weren't for Snape watching them like a hawk, she would have slapped him and probably hex him.

"Whatever" she mumbled and went back to chopping the ingredients for the potions assigned for them to do today.

Draco got bored so he started chopping along with Hermione and stirring the cauldron. Soon, they were both done.

'Finally' they both thought with relief.

Hermione poured the potion in a flask and went up to Snape. As she walked by his desk, he glared at her. She was confused, 'What's his problem?' she thought but shrugged it off. She made her way back but while doing so, she decided to see how Ron, Harry, and Ginny were doing.

She looked over at Ginny. What she saw shocked her. Ginny seemed to have a dazed look about something by the looks of it, and she keeps smiling at Blaise. But, that's not the thing that shocked her, it was that Blaise Zabini was smiling warmly back at Ginny.

'Wow' she thought, 'I guess some Slytherins aren't as bad as they seem'

Then, she looked over to Ron. Ron and Lavender were both flirting with each other and left their potions there. Hermione grinned.

She shook her head. 'I always knew he liked her, I wonder when he'll ask her out..' she thought still smiling.

She then saw Parvati, who was looking very disgusted and was both glaring and yelling at Goyle. He just shrugged and got back to work. Lavender then sighed and went back to working too.

With Luna and Crabbe, well Crabbe was trying to inch away from Luna as far as possible. Hermione guessed that Luna told him something that was just…well Loony.

Lastly, she looked at where Harry was doing. He looked really annoyed and tired. His head was banging on the table, while Pansy was babbling to him in a high pitched shrieked. 'Yikes' Hermione thought. Then, she walked back to her table with Draco.

---With Ginny and Blaise---

"Ok, so now you add the bat tail?" Ginny asked smiling.

"Um, yeah, just right about now." Blaise said, smirking and putting it in.

Ginny was confused, since they were partnered up a few days ago and having to do potion projects together, he has been very kind.

'But, why is he so nice to me?' she wondered. Then shrugged. They both finished adding the ingredients and then Blaise put some of the potion into the flask and got up and walked to Snape's desk.

Meanwhile, Ginny was lost in her thoughts, 'Hmm, is he on to something?' she thought still confused, 'Or was I completely wrong about Slytherins?'

"Oh well, not like I have any feelings for him" she mumbled to herself.

"Don't have feelings for who?" asked Blaise with an eyebrow raised. Ginny blushed.

"N-nothing" she stuttered. Blaise smirked and went back and sat in the seat next to hers.

"Oh, come on Ginny, I promise I wont tell" he said. Ginny inwardly gasp. Did he just call her by her first name?

She got over her shock and rolled her eyes, "Its nothing Zabini" she replied.

Blaise pouted and Ginny laughed. 'He looks so cute' she thought and then bit her lip. 'What am I saying? That's crazy, I already have a boyfriend. And we've been together for a few months already.'

'I don't like Blaise Zabini' she thought over and over, trying to convince herself. Blaise noticed how silent she had become.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked with a hint of concern in his voice. Ginny nearly jumped a foot when she heard his voice. She turned and smiled faintly at him.

"Yeah, I'm okay" she said, smiling at him. Blaise nodded.

'Hmm, wonder what's with her' he thought curiously, 'oh well, not my business' he thought.

---With Harry and Pansy---

"So, like, he was like, so unfair, that stupid old git! He should like, be sent to Azkaban (A/N: is that how you spell it? Lol I have no clue) and be eaten by the dementors" she rambled. Harry rolled his eyes.

"Parkinson, dementors don't eat you, they suck out your soul" he pointed out.

Pansy scoffed, "Same thing!" she argued. He sighed. It was useless. He then started banging his head on the table, while Pansy started talking about how cute Malfoy is.

'I don't understand how Malfoy gets through this every damn day' Harry thought, 'But I know why Malfoy is always cranky' at that Harry chuckled. Pansy glared at him.

"HEY! Are you even listening?" he shrieked that could've made Harry go deaf in a second. Harry rubbed his temples.

"Yeah, Parkinson, I was" he lied but hid it.

She looked at him suspiciously, "…Okay, so then, what was I talking about?" she asked inspecting her fingernails.

Harry winced. 'Damn it! What do girls talk about?' he raked through his mind to come up with something but couldn't think of anything. Pansy then rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Well?"

"uh….."

"Spit it out you git!"

"Hey! I'm not a git!"

Pansy rolled her eyes at him again.

"Stop avoiding the question! I keep telling everyone that I'm not STUPID! Why won't anyone believe me!" she wailed. Harry felt a tiny bit of sympathy for her. Tiny bit.

He sighed, "Er, your not stupid…you're smart?" he tried. Pansy beamed at this.

"Well see? I told you!" she exclaimed. Harry chuckled. Pansy then glared at him.

"Are you laughing at me?" she demanded. She had tears brimming in her eyes. Harry widened his eyes. 'What to do…what to do' the voice in his mind repeated.

"N-no, of course not Par-eh, Pansy. I was just saying…that er….you looked very pretty when I told you that you were smart" he said then thought, 'what the hell? Did I just say….oh Merlin!' he panicked. He looked at Pansy to see her expression and all he saw was confusion. 'this is bad, really bad. Merlin!' he thought still panicking.

'Oh my gosh! Did the Harry Potter just say that I'm pretty? That is like such a compliment.' she thought. She was so shocked that she couldn't even find the words to speak. Then she turned pink. This means that Potter likes her. Actually likes her and wants to be her friend. She was surprised, but then smiled.

Harry was getting ready for a scream to come his way. But what happened was something that he wasn't expecting.

Pansy leaned over and hugged him. He tried to speak but no words came out. He just blushed.

"Thank you Harry" she whispered in his ear. Did he hear correctly? Or did she really call him by his first name and thanked him?

"Uh, your welcome, Parkinson." he said unsurely.

She pouted, "I thought we were going to be friends" she said.

Harry was taken aback. "So, Par- I mean Pansy, you really want to be friends?" he asked slowly. She rolled her eyes jokingly.

"Well of course, dummy! Merlin, since we're supposed to be partners for the rest of the year, I just thought that maybe we should be friends you know?" she asked hopefully. Harry was surprised but didn't show it. It wasn't very often when you see Pansy all nice and smart.

Harry was lost in thought, 'hmm, it sounds logical enough' he decided to agree.

He then smiled, "Alright. I agree with you….Pansy" he still wasn't used to saying her first name. Pansy was grinning from ear to ear. She hugged him again. He blushed. 'I guess ill have to get used to being hugged by someone other than 'mione and Gin then.' he thought smiling a little bit.

---With Ron and Lavender---

"Eh, hey Lav?" Ron asked nervously turning red. Lavender turned and faced him and smiled warmly.

"Yes Ron?" she asked. Ron then turned even more red. Lavender raised an eyebrow in amusement.

Ron cleared his throat, "Uh, Lavender, would you like to go out with me?" he asked before his whole face, including his ears turned the reddest red that you have ever seen and was fidgeting in his seat.

But, Lavender seemed to be lost in thought and Ron took this the wrong way. He sighed sadly.

"Lav, y-you don't have to..I-I mean," Ron stuttered. Lavender rolled her eyes.

"Ron" more stuttering, "Uh, Ron?"

"I-I'm sorry for bringing that up"

"RONALD WEASLEY!"

"Huh? What?"

'Finally' thought a slightly annoyed Lavender. She took a big breath.

"I just wanted to say, before you interrupted me, that yes, I would love to go out with you Ron" she said grinning. Ron instantly brightened.

"Really? Do you really mean that?" he asked.

"Yes Ronald!" she said before leaning over and kissing him. Ron smiled into the kiss.(A/N: Not much for this one huh? Lol jk jk. -)

---Back to Hermione and Draco---

They were both sitting there bored to death and was looking into space.

Draco smirked once he remembered that Potter was paired up with Parkinson. He then sat up in his seat and looked around the room. When his eyes got to that scarhead and Parkinson, he didn't even try to hide his emotion. He was staring at the sight before him with wide eyes, with absolute horror in them, and his mouth gaping at them.

Hermione was so bored she couldn't even read a book. She then decided to see what Malfoy was doing. She was really that bored.

When she looked at Malfoy though, she was confused. What in the name of Merlin was he gaping at with wide eyes. She then followed where he was looking at and when she did, she must've had the same look as Malfoy.

The scene before her included one of her best friends, Harry Potter, and also a girl. That girl was Pansy Parkinson. What were they doing? They were hugging!

"Wow, am I seeing things?" she mumbled to herself.

"Tell me about it" said Draco, who had apparently heard her.

"I can't believe it…wow" she still gaped at them.

"Yeah, whats next, kissing?" he half joked.

Then, the two heads saw something else, Harry Potter, was actually smiling. Their eyes widened to the point where they can't widen anymore.

"Oh my gosh" Hermione whispered.

"What is the world coming to?" asked Draco.

"Okay, was that one of my best friend, and the girl that clings to you practically twenty four hours a day, actually hugging? And the fact that Harry liked it?" She asked, still bewildered.

"Seems like it Granger" he drawled.

"This is such a shock." she said.

"For once, I agree with you Granger" he said.

Then they both realized that they just had a civilized conversation with each other and they were surprised.

'Guess there's a first for everything' they both thought.

­­---Normal---

"I DON'T REMEMBER THIS BEING A LOVING CLASS! THIS IS A POTIONS CLASS! PARKINSON, POTTER, WEASLEY, AND BROWN SEPARATE!" bellowed Snape.

Harry and Pansy both parted from hugging with flushed faces and Ron and Lavender from kissing. Everyone in the class turned to look at them to find out if it was true. Some stood up to see. There was a lot of murmurs. The four of them turned red.

Now there was a lot of chattering going on and Snape was obviously having a bad day. "QUIET! GET BACK INTO YOUR SEATS!" he boomed loudly. Everyone immediately got back to their seats.

"Now, Potter, Parkinson, what were you two doing?" Snape asked with an icy glare.

Pansy rolled her eyes and said loudly, "Professor, what do you think?"

Snape had the urge to plug his ears. "Were you two hugging?" he asked quietly and slowly.

Pansy gasped. Everyone waited for the answer.

"Of course not! Why would I want to hug him? He's a Gryffindor! I can't believe you! You know I love Drakie! I thought you knew me professor!" she wailed and sobbed. Snape's paled and there was a slight hint, of horror?

"….Ms. Parkinson, perhaps you would like to go to the hospital wing?" he asked as calmly as he could. Pansy nodded and got her things and left. But before she did, she turned and looked at Harry for a second and smirked. Harry then figured it out. Pansy then ran out of the room.

'Smart ass' Harry thought. Snape then turned towards Ron and Lavender.

"And, may I ask, were you two doing?" Snape asked in the same quiet, and slowly voice. Both Ron and Lavender were both blushing madly.

Then, Lavender decided to speak, "Well, professor, we like finished our potion, so we were like bored out of our minds and so like, we like…"she said but was interrupted.

"I get it. Class dismissed" Snape growled. Everyone left. When Lavender was recovered by the shock, she said, "How rude" and pouted, but left.

---With Hermione---

When Hermione was done with all of her classes, she decided to go back to the Head's common room and ask Ron about Lavender later at Dinner.

She walked down the hallway until she came to the painting of a little hyper girl and a very shy boy.

"Good evening Jenna, Zach." Hermione said brightly.

"Hello!" Jenna practically squealed.

"uh, hi" said Zach and then he blushed. Hermione smiled warmly at the two of them.

"Password?" they both said in unison.

"sunlilies"

"thank you! Bye Hermione!" said Jenna. Hermione waved at the two kids and entered the door. Once she got inside, she noticed Draco sitting on one of the couches and reading.

'How did he get here before me?' she wondered. She went upstairs and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

About thirty minutes later, she came out and then did the usual, drying her hair, brushing her hair, and then going into her room to change.

When she got in there, she got her wand and conjured up the time and she noticed that it was almost time to go to dinner.

She got dressed in a simple black t-shirt and some denim jeans. Then, she put her hair up in a ponytail and put on some lip gloss and she was done.

She checked the time again and then put her wand in her pocket and walked out of the Heads' Common room and headed in the direction of the Great Hall.

'I guess I got here just at the right moment' she thought happily 'cause she saw that Ginny, Harry, Ron, and other people were there already. She walked to them and gave both Ron and Harry a kiss on the cheek and then sat down between Harry and Ginny.

"Hey you guys!" She said.

"Hey 'mione!" they all replied.

She decided to cut to the chase. She smirked at Ron, who had caught it and was worried.

"W-what's w-wrong 'mione?" he stuttered, averting his eyes everywhere. She just simply rolled her eyes.

"Why, Ronald, what do you mean "what's wrong?" hmm?" she said in a voice that spooked the hell out of Ron, "I just wanted to ask you something" she said innocently, but her eyes told otherwise.

Ron was turning pale now. He cleared his throat, "Um, sure. Go ahead" he said hesitantly.

Hermione smiled, "I just wanted to know, what happened in Potions that you and a certain girl were caught during a lip lock?" she asked resting her head on her hand.

'I feared for this moment.' Ron thought.

"W-well, I-uh you see-" he babbled.

"Ron?"

"And-um, its just-"

"Ron? Are you okay?"

"Ehem, uh-"

"RON!"

"What? What happened" he said looking around frantically.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Ron, calm down, Merlin. I was just wondering. You don't have to tell me." she said pouting. Ron flinched.

"Oh, alright" he gave in, she inwardly smirked, "IaskedLavenderifshewantedtobemygirlfriend" he said in a rush.

"Huh?" was the three responses that he got. He sighed.

"I, um, asked Lavender if she wanted to be my girlfriend" he repeated with a blush.

"Oh my gosh! FINALLY!" squealed Ginny and Hermione.

"Congratulations mate. it's about time too." Harry said. Ron looked confused.

"Why is this such a big deal? And what did you mean Harry?" he asked dumbly. The other three had to hole the urge to roll their eyes.

"Ron, practically everyone knows that you liked her since…well I don't know, forever?" Ginny explained.

"E-everyone knew?" Ron stuttered looking flustered. The three nodded in sympathy, sometimes, Ron was too dense.

For the rest of the dinner, Ron was still shocked that everyone knew, and Harry, Hermione, and Ginny talked about random things.

---With Draco---

He was still reading after Hermione had gone up to her room. He saw her curious stare when she arrived at the common room.

After reading for about thirty more minutes, and then sat there, his mind replaying what had happened today. So many things that were shocking today.

The most shocking of all though, was that he and the two Gryffindorks' very own bookworm had a civil conversation. It was kind of nice though, talking to her, though he would probably never admit it.

He sighed and then checked the time. It was almost time for dinner so he got up and walked out of the portrait door with a swish of his robes.

He then started walking down the hallway and went to the Great Hall. When he got there, he realized that he was still early, but he saw that Blaise and a couple of Slytherins were over there. He walked towards the Slytherin table and plopped down across from Blaise.

"Hey" Draco said simply.

"Yo" replied Blaise. Draco rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing her so early?" Draco wondered.

Blaise shrugged, "I dunno. I guess I didn't want to run into that one sixth year girl." he answered calmly.

"Who's this "sixth year girl" that you're talking about?" Draco asked, curious. Blaise chuckled.

"Oh, uh…" Blaise paused, trying to remember her name, "I think it was Rolinda Wen" he said, scratching his head embarrassed.

Draco smirked, "So this "Rolinda Wen" is stalking you eh?" he taunted. Blaise glared at him.

"Shut the hell up! She's almost like a mini copy of Pansy" he groaned. Draco chuckled. Just then the Great Hall's door's swung open and slammed into the wall violently and in walked…..
