Chapter 10
'Another day in Snape's room, or dungeon' Hermione thought as she rested her head on the palm of her hand and tried to look like she was listening to Snape's explanation about a plant.
"Mr. Potter," Snape sneered, "Would you mind telling us what is the use of the "cansanbary" plant?"
Harry looked at Hermione pleadingly and she looked at him and shrugged. He looked like he was going to die.
Harry cleared his throat, "Um, is it for curing sickness?" he guessed. Snape glared at him.
"Yes, it is," Snape said tightly. Many snickers followed by and Harry sighed in relief.
He turned to Hermione, "Sheesh, 'Mione, you were some help." He glared.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I was loads of help," Hermione said, mindlessly.
Harry looked concerned, "Are you feeling alright Hermione?"
"Yeah, Harry, just sleepy," she answered and smiled lightly at him. He nodded.
"Well, you gotta go to sleep! I almost got detention again!" he exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, Harry."
He scratched his head, "No, I'm sorry 'mione." she smiled, "You're forgiven." he smiled back.
Ron and Ginny were sitting next to Hermione and were glaring at each other. For what? We might never know.
"Alright!" Snape drawled loudly, " Its time for a project assignment." A moment of silence before a hand shot through the air.
A sixth year girl raised her hand. Snape raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"Um, professor...what's the project going to be about?" she asked, cocking her head to a side.
"Well, since you asked so nicely," He said icily, "It's called a 'Love Potion' but different in a way." he said, as though talking to a bunch of little five year olds. Almost all of the girls squealed in happiness and were chittering about what boy they wanted to use it on. Snape smirked.
"You will be with your partner, making this. Put it in two vials and then one at a time, each person is going to drink it and try to break out of it." Many of the girls were still squealing and chattering amongst themselves, very few were grimacing.
"Ugh, just what I needed, a love potion with Malfoy." Hermione groaned. Ginny smiled at her.
Hermione looked at her questionably, "What is it, Gin?"
"You know what I'm talking about," Ginny said, slyly.
"No, I don't. Please elaborate."
Ginny sighed, "You're so innocent Hermione." she commented, and Hermione frowned, "But don't you get it? Love potion, you and Malfoy." Ginny added.(A/N: lol my friends call me innocent too..hehe that's why I added that. D)
"Shut up, Ginny. I already told you. I don't like Malfoy," Hermione said, agitated.
"Alright, say what you want 'mione." Ginny shrugged, but still had that smug smile on her face.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, whatever."
Snape was sighing and glaring at all of the girls in the room, "QUIET!" he shouted and everything eventually quieted down.
"Now," he said, with a glare, "Get in your partners and get started." and with a flick of his wand, words appeared on the board and everyone began to move.
'Aww, damn. I have to do a Love Potion with Granger? And then actually drink it?' Draco thought.
Hermione sat down in the seat and sighed deeply, 'Wait, why am I always moving and going into the seat next to Malfoy while he does nothing?' she thought with a frown. She shrugged. The two heads' read the instructions quickly.
"Alright, Granger, how about you do the chopping and I do the stirring?" Draco offered. Hermione nodded.
"Sure." They got started on their project.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ginny walked over to where Blaise was sitting and plopped down into the seat next to him.
"Hello, Miss Ginny" Blaise said with a smirk.
Ginny smiled back, "Hello, Mr. Blaise."
"Ahh, so you're going to call me by that from now on?" he asked.
Ginny looked thoughtful for a second, "Sure."
He nodded, "Let's go get these ingredients and get this baby cooking!" he said as he stood up. Ginny laughed and followed suit.
'Hmm, I wonder, what's it going to be like when Blaise takes the potion?' Ginny thought and then blushed and shook her head 'What a stupid thought." They both got the needed ingredients and went back to their seats.
'How would Ginny be like when she takes the potion?' Blaise wondered in his mind, while walking to his seat.
They decided that they would split everything in half so it would be even and then started making their potion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow, a love potion." Pansy sighed. Harry smiled lightly.
"Yeah," was all he said, since he had nothing else to say.
Pansy looked at him, "I'm glad you're my partner Harry. I mean, I wouldn't want to fall in love with somebody like Crabbe and Goyle-no offense to them- temporarily."
Harry laughed, "Oh, yeah, I'm so much better than those two buffoons," he said dramatically. Pansy playfully pushed him slightly and laughed.
"Don't insult them. You'll hurt their feelings," Pansy scolded jokingly. They both started laughing for a few minutes and then quieted down, since Snape was watching them like a glaring hawk.
Pansy wiped the tears that formed in her eyes, "Haha, Harry. You're so mean."
Harry grinned, "Of course." Pansy shook her head.
"You want to get started? Snape's eyes are creeping me out," Pansy said as she frowned. Harry nodded and they both stood up and got the ingredients and went back to their seats and started working.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Ron! This is wonderful! But, even though I don't think we need to use to potion to make us fall in love!" Lavender squealed. Ron blushed but didn't say anything.
Lavender looked at him with a big smile on her face, "Let's get started!" she exclaimed. Ron just merely nodded and followed the bouncing girl as they walked towards the shelf.
"Hmmm," Lavender said, "Hey, Ronni-boo? Can you check to see what the ingredients are? I don't remember," she said. Ron blushed again and then looked at the board.
"We need hair of unicorn, bat wings, frog tongues, two vials..." he continued to list the ingredients to her.(A/N: I have no idea what the Love Potion is made of...so...lol)
She nodded when she was done getting them all and turned to Ron with her arms full with the needed ingredients. Ron looked at her and then got some of the things off her arms.
"Thank you," she said sincerely. He grinned at her and they walked back to their seats and got started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Whew, we're done!" Hermione said as she fanned herself with her hand because of the steam the potion was causing.
"Yeah, and before everyone else too," Draco replied with a smirk. She shook her head.
"Is it completely done yet?" she asked, as she looked at the reddish-pink substance in the cauldron, "It looks done."
Draco took a peek into the cauldron and nodded, "Looks right to me," he said calmly and then sat back into his seat. Hermione then looked at the board again and saw the all caps letters under all of the ingredient instructions, it read, "DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOUR POTION WHEN DONE! BRING TO MY DESK"
She nudged Draco slightly, "What?" he asked. She pointed her finger at the words that she had just read. He looked and then nodded. They both stood up and Draco took the cauldron by the handle and they walked to the front desk where Snape was glaring at the piece of parchment in his hands.
He looked up, "What?" he bit out.
Hermione shifted nervously, "Um, your directions on the board, Sir." Snape lazily looked at the board and then nodded curtly.
"Alright, let me see your potion." Draco placed the cauldron on the desk and Snape took it and inspected it.
"Good, it's ready. Good job, Mr. Malfoy." he said, ignoring Hermione. She inwardly rolled her eyes.
"Now," Snape said, taking out something from his pocket, "I just need to add this and its done." he said as he added a clear liquid into their cauldron. Hermione and Draco looked at him questionably.
Snape looked up at them with a slight glare, "You're all set. Go put this in two vials and sit in your seats until everyone else is done, understood?" they nodded and left.
They both plopped down into their seats and did as told. Draco filled two vials of the potion and corked them both so no steam or any of the substance can get out.
They sat there bored, and about thirty minutes later, other people started to go up to Snape's desk and he would pour the clear white substance into their potions. Soon enough, everyone was done.
Snape stood up from his seat at his desk and went in front of it. He looked at everyone and was slightly surprised that Neville's potion didn't blow up today. He scowled, 'Great, even Longbottom didn't mess up today.' Snape thought.
"SILENT." he boomed and all of the chatter that was going on stopped, "Since you're all done now, you should have two vials of the potion with the cork on. Am I correct?"
He waited for no answer, "Now, put your initials on the vial where a space is provided for your name and you put it there. You and your partner will then take it up here and put it in this cabinet to let it set." he finished as he pointed to a brown, dusty cabinet in the corner.
Everyone got out their wands and started magically put their initials in. There were sounds of chairs being scooted back and people talking as they went up to the cabinet and put it in there.
"You are all dismissed." Snape drawled when everyone went back to their seats. Everyone sighed slightly annoyed, but, again, there were sounds of chairs scooting and people chattering.
Hermione sighed as she got out of the class, "I'm so glad class is done!"
"Aww, we didn't get to test it out yet." Ginny pouted. Hermione laughed, but Ron and Harry had confused faces.
"Why did you want to test it out Ginny?" Harry asked, curiously.
Ginny shook her head, "Never mind. It's nothing Harry."
Ron looked at her suspiciously, but said nothing. The four walked towards the Great Hall, chattering about their day.
When they got inside the Great Hall, they walked towards their table and sat down with Harry and Ron on one side, and Hermione and Ginny on the other side. Ron and Harry automatically started filling their plates and shoving it in their mouths. Ginny shook her head in disgust.
"Honestly, are all guys like this?" she asked sarcastically. Hermione grinned and began filling her plate, but not shoving it in her mouth like the boys.
"So, Gin, do you like being partners with Blaise Zabini?" Hermione asked, making conversation.
"Yeah." Ginny said, "He's nice."
Hermione nodded, "That's good."
"Well, how about you 'mione? How is it with Draco Malfoy?"
"Honestly, its alright, I mean I manage to ignore most of his insults, if you can call it that." Ginny nodded.
"It's not as bad as you thought it was going to be huh, Herms?"
"Yeah, that's true."
"Well, of course its true. Everything that I say is true!" Ginny said in a 'I'm all that' voice. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, Gin. We all know that you are crazy and will remain crazy." Hermione replied. Now it was Ginny's turn to roll her eyes.
"Merlin, 'mione, do you have to ruin every good moment in my life?" Ginny asked in mock anger.
"You know it."
Ginny and Hermione started laughing. Harry and Ron looked up from their food shoveling and turned to the source of where the noise was coming from. They saw it came from Hermione and Ginny, they looked at each other with their mouths full and shrugged and continued what they were doing.
Once the two girls have settled down, Hermione had her hand to her chest and was taking deep breaths, "Oh, Merlin, I think I'm going to die."
"Whatever 'mione. You can't die from laughing...well..you can but still." Ginny said.
"Ginny, was that supposed to make me feel better?" Hermione asked, giving her friend a weird look.
Ginny tapped a finger on her chin, "Um, no," she answered with a smile. Hermione glared.
"Why, Ginny, you're such a great friend." she said sarcastically.
"Oh, you're so welcome 'mione." Ginny played along. Hermione sighed in defeat.
"Shut up."
Ginny smirked, "What? Have I gotten on your nerves 'mione?" she asked innocently.
"You have always been on my nerves, Gin." Hermione smirked.
Ginny glared. "Ha-ha very funny," she said dryly. Hermione laughed.
"I'm sorry, Ginny. I was only kidding."
"Well, I knew that." Ginny said cheerily.
"Right," Hermione said disbelievingly. Ginny just shrugged.
"Anyways, well, 'mione. Isn't there a Hogsmeade trip coming up soon?" Ginny asked as she drank her pumpkin juice.
Hermione thought for a moment before nodding, "Yeah, I think it was sometime this week, I'm not sure. I'm sure the headmaster is going to make a speech about it soon." she said reassuringly. Ginny nodded and smiled.
"Okay."
"Why did you want to know, Ginny?"
Ginny looked at Hermione like she was crazy, "What! Don't tell me you don't want to go to the shops and look for beautiful clothes?" Ginny exclaimed.
Hermione winced, "Well, its not like we can just wear it Ginny. We do have uniforms.."
Ginny rolled her eyes, "Oh, please! You for one, should know this, we need to get dresses for the dance remember!"
"Oh.." Hermione said in realization and then groaned. With Ginny, it would take months for her to decide on what to buy.
"Yeah," Ginny said and looked at Hermione with a big smile on her face. "And I'm going to pick your dress too" she said with a glint in her eye.
"Um, Ginny, I can pick my own dress…" she drifted off by the look on Ginny's face.
"Hermione! You got a big billowy purple dress for last years' dance! It was so….." Ginny said, but didn't have a word to use.
Hermione looked offended, "Ginny, I thought it was a cute dress."
"'mione! That dress wasn't cute." Ginny said, "It was just all, well, loose."
"That was the point, Ginny. It was comfortable. I liked it." Hermione pouted.
"Whatever."
"Hey, 'mione?" Ron said, all of a sudden.
"What is it Ron?"
"Eh, do you want your bacon?" he pointed to the bacon on her plate. She nodded and he grinned at her before taking the bacon. Ginny groaned.
"Stupid git," she said, "I don't understand how he and Harry can eat all of that, but still be skinny…well not skinny but you know what I mean." she said.
Hermione laughed, "Yeah, that's true." Ginny laughed also. Hermione and Ginny both chatted more while eating, and both Harry and Ron were still pigging out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Stupid! Idiot! Git! That bloody git!" Pansy shrieked angrily. Draco winced slightly.
"What's it with you?"
She turned and glared at him, "Its nothing," she growled and then started stabbing her fork into her food.
"Alright, relax." Draco said sighing. Just then, Blaise came and saw the look on Pansy's face and what she was doing.
"What's it with you, Pansy?"
"ITS NOTHING,"
"Okay, chill," Blaise said with a confused face.
Pansy then started rambling again, "That ugly cocky git!" she shrieked and Draco and Blaise flinched.
"UGH!" Pansy shouted and then stomped away.
"Okay, now that was strange," Blaise said. Draco said nothing.
Blaise shook him slightly, "Hey, Drake, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Did you say anything, Blaise?" Draco asked.
"YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG DRAKE!" Blaise shouted.
Draco winced, "You don't have to yell. I think Pansy did a good job at making me deaf thanks."
Blaise laughed and Draco glared at him.
"Shut the fuck up Zabini!"
Blaise just smirked, but then frowned a bit. "Hey, did you ever wonder what that liquid that Snape put in our potion was?"
Draco nodded, "Yeah, I thought it was something, well something familiar, but I can't put my finger on it."
"Same here. I know I've seen that thing somewhere and sometime in my life, but I just can't….well just grab it." Draco nodded again.
"Well, whatever it is, it better not be a bomb potion or anything." Blaise joked.
Draco glared at him, "Don't even joke about those things, Blaise."
Blaise chuckled.---The next day---
Draco sat by Hermione when Snape told them to move to their partners. He yawned. Another class that was very early in the morning. The sun wasn't even out yet.
"You will be checking on your potions, but only checking on it," Snape glared at a few people, "You and your partner will NOT be opening anything! Understood?" Everyone nodded, "You will be checking only to see if your vial is a blood red color with a hint of silver."
"If you happen to open your vial, you will immediately fail." Snape smirked, " The potion is not ready yet, and is not there for your entertainment." he finished with an icy tone.
"Well, I guess we should just go up with the whole crowd now." Hermione sighed at the sight of all of the students pushing and shoving to get through to the cupboard.
Draco rolled his eyes, "Granger, what else do you expect us to do? Sit around?" She glared at him.
"Shove off Malfoy."
He raised an eyebrow, "Watch your attitude, mudblood." she fumed at that name.
"Don't you think that is getting old?" she asked.
"No,"
"Whatever,"
A couple of minutes passed and Hermione got fed up, so she stood up.
"Okay, lets go." she said.
"Go where?" Draco asked. She looked at him as though he was stupid.
"Go up there, of course."
"Why would I want to do that, Granger?"
"Fine, I'll just go by myself," Hermione huffed and then started stomping away. Draco eventually sighed and then stood up also. The two walked down to the cupboard, where only few people still remain and waited until the line will move.
When nothing moved, Draco shoved people to the side and got through. There were many protests, but he ignored them all. Hermione quickly followed him and almost ran into him when he stopped abruptly.
"Hmm," Draco murmured. And for a few seconds, he was standing there.
Suddenly, he turned around and Hermione almost fell.
"What the hell is it with you? Let me see!" she exclaimed as she stood up on her tip toes(A/N: haha, well is it called 'tip toes'? heh, I'm confused, sorry if this is a mistake) and tried to look pass his shoulders but she was too short.
"Its done. You don't have to see it," Draco said. She pouted.
"I still want to see it." she said, stubbornly.
"No, I already told you, its done."
"I still want to see it!"
"No, Granger," He said.
"Come on! Move out of the way!" she started pushing him, but he didn't even budge.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm trying to get you to move! So, MOVE!" she exclaimed.
"Mudblood, I already told you, the potion is done." he drawled.
"So? Who gives a freak about what you say. I want to see it with my own two eyes." she retorted. 'Hmm, she really has gotten a backbone. About time too.' Draco thought smirking.
"Malfoy, this is no time to be smirking!"
"I'm not smirking," he said, with a frown.
"Well, now you don't…Shut up! MOVE MALFOY!" she shouted.
He sighed reluctantly and then moved. She gave a huff and then proceeded to go and look at their potion. Meanwhile, Draco was smirking to himself.
Hermione inspected the vial of potion very carefully. She frowned. 'Great, now Malfoy is never going to let me hear the end of it.' she thought sadly. She stood up again and turned towards Draco, who was still smirking.
"Alright, well, I hate to admit it, but the potion is done." she said and then walked passed him and went back to her seat.
"Yeah, well never forget that I'm always right, Granger." he drawled and went back to his seat also. They sat there for a couple of minutes, and Draco got bored, so he started drumming his fingers on the table.
Hermione sighed. When was Snape going to let them leave? It's about an hour already and he hasn't dismissed the class yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry frowned at the scene of Hermione and Malfoy. Those two are very odd.
"Those two are odd, aren't they?" Pansy asked, voicing his thoughts.
"Yeah, they are. They fight over a little thing like seeing the potion…its sad." Harry shook his head and Pansy laughed.
"Yeah, if you think about it, everyone here gets along with his/her partner but those two…well,"
Harry nodded, "I know what you mean. Its just strange,"
"Mmhmm, well, they'll get along eventually." Pansy said. Harry gave her a confused look. She just smiled and sat there.
------------------------------------------the end-----------------------------------------
So? How was this chapter? Lol I hope its good. I guess that's a pretty weird ending huh? I saw the HP movie on Saturday with my cousins and my best friend! The movie was awesome, even though they cut lotz of scenes from the book… '( but it was cool.
Please review!
Ciao, everyone 3!
