Without the Word Bloody

Chris was walking with Hermione to Muggle Studies. Hermione took the class because she thought it would be interesting to see the muggle world from a wizard's point of view. Chris was doing it for the easy grade. They walked into Professor Matthew's classroom. (A/N: I don't know who the professor for Muggle Studies actually is so, I made up this guy.) Chris and Hermione went into the classroom. Hermione and Chris walked in and they saw an annoyed looking Draco Malfoy sitting there with his arms crossed. Draco heard someone come in. He turned around. "I am in here because I got in trouble, not because I want to." he snapped.
"We didn't say anything about you being in here, Malfoy." Hermione said.
"Well I–I didn't want you to think that I started to like muggles or anything Granger." Draco said in his defense. Draco saw the girl standing next to Hermione. –She must be that American girl. I didn't hear anyone tell me that she was this hot. Almost as hot as Kaylee. I wonder what Kaylee is doing right now. She might be dead for all I know. No, don't think that. I would have heard about it if she was anyhow. God, I need to stop thinking about Kaylee. She isn't coming back. I have to accept that.– Draco thought to himself. "So you're the new American chick?" Draco asked.
"Well, I prefer to go by Chris, but yeah. I'm 'the new American chick'." Chris answered, "I take it you're Draco Malfoy."
"You've heard of me." Draco smirked.
"Not in a good way." Chris replied.
Chris and Hermione walked over to the other side of the classroom. "Well not much has changed has it?" Hermione asked.
"What are you talking about?" Chris asked.
"You and Draco. Last time I saw you two flirt was..." Hermione trailed off because she knew Chris didn't like to talk about it.
"Was when we were together and Kaylee's blood wasn't wanted by Voldemort." Chris whispered. Hermione noticed how she talked about her past self as if she was a different person.
Professor Mathews entered the classroom. He said "Good morning class. I am Professor Mathews. Welcome to Muggle Studies. This year we have many projects planned. We have Battle of the Bands," Chris was suddenly interested in class as Professor Mathews continued, " I guess I should get started on telling you about the that. We can't exactly do it the muggle way but we can try. Battle of the Bands is almost like a talent show. Only everyone is playing music. You can have a band or you can be solo. People who are not in this class may enter the battle. The people in this class are forced to be in it."
"So we have to listen to the people who can't bloody well sing for crap?" Draco called out.
The Professor decided to ignore the remark when Chris raised her hand. Professor signaled Chris to ask her question. "Take out the word bloody and I have the same question as he does."Chris stated.
"Yes you do." The irritated professor answered.
Hermione and Chris went to lunch after class. They sat down and waited for Ron and Harry to come back from History of Magic. Hermione asked Chris "So, what do you think will happen between you and him?"
"Nothing is going to happen between me and him, Hermione. Nothing can happen." Chris said with a bit of disappointment in her voice.
Hermione heard the disappointment in her voice. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah I'll be fine." Chris said, "Here comes Harry and Ron."
Harry and Ron sat down at the table across from Hermione and Chris. "Would somebody please remind us why we wanted to take History of Magic?" Ron groaned as they sat down.
"You need to take at least five years of it to become an auror. You both skipped it in fifth and sixth year so it's your own faults that you are in that class." Hermione told them. (A/N: I don't know if that is true, but it is in this fanfic.)
"Right." they said in unison trying to avoid a long speech from Hermione on how they were irresponsible. They all started eating lunch.
"So Chris, are you going to try out for the Quidditch team or do you think it's a pointless sport like Hermione does?" Harry asked.
"Actually I like Quidditch. I was thinking about trying out for chaser." Chris replied.
"That's good. We could use a new chaser. I'm keeper and Harry has been the seeker since first year." Ron said, "Harry is the team captain this year, so he gets to pick out the team members this year."
"That's awesome." Chris smiled. The rest of the day was pretty good. She had met Hagrid. She thought that he was a great guy. Ron had warned her that he liked dangerous animals like dragons and skrewts. Chris didn't really care though. She had always been fascinated by dragons. The rest of the week had gone well. Until Friday...
(Well, I just thought I would leave a bit a of a cliff hanger there. REVIEW PLEASE! Nikki)
Spicy-Obsession: Don't be so quick to judge. You haven't gotten to know her that well yet.
Bubbley-Baby12: read above. I have a lot more written. About 20 more chapters, actually. I know that right now you don't see any flaws, but you will. Just give it a few more chapters.
