Harry Potter and the Year of the Baby
Chapter 10
Nothing could have squashed my good mood as fast as going to potions. I really hope that Professor Snape won't start to pick on Adrian. I can stand him picking on me but him picking on Adrian would be a whole other story. I would like to see what Hermione would do to Snape if he was really awful to Adrian, now that would be something I'd pay to see. I guess I can't put going to Potions off any longer than I have, I'll just have to suck it up and do it that sounds a lot easier than it really is.
"I see that Mr. Potter has finally decided to grace us with his appearance." Great, I can tell that this class will be so much fun, not.
I'm so surprised that he didn't take any points off or yell at me that I just kind of stand there and stare at him blankly.
"Mr. Potter sit down now!" Part of me wants to sit down right there in the middle of the tables but I don't feel like having detention the first night. So I just go and sit in the seat that Hermione saved for me.
Professor Snape finally finishes telling us how to make the potion. It felt like he was prattling on and on about the potion forever. Hermione and I are partners to make the potion.
"Harry how about you go and get the ingredients and prepare them, and then I can put them in after your done with them, it should be faster that way." I love it when she uses that pretty little head of hers to come up with wonderful plans.
"Ok my good lady, I'll get right to it." I say with a cheeky smile. I can hear her laughter even as I'm getting the ingredients out of the supply cabinet.
"So Potter is that little thing a product of yours and the Mudbloods secret affair, or did you knock up some random muggle filth." These are the times that I really wish that this wasn't a school, so that I could beat the crud out of his face. I know Hermione would tell me to leave it and that he's not worth it so I walk away from the still smirking Malfoy.
Malfoy grabs my arm and says, "Don't walk away from me Potter!"
"Sod off Malfoy." I mumble as I walk away from that little ferret. That guy makes me so mad!
"Harry what's the matter?" She looks so concerned, I feel bad for making her feel like that.
"Dad?" Ok how could I not feel guilty when I have Adrian's big blue eyes staring at me, with his adorable curly blonde hair hanging in front of his eyes while he pouts. I still can't believe how fast he found his way into my heart.
"Don't worry it's just Malfoy being a bloody prat."
"Harry you really shouldn't talk like that at all let alone in front of Adrian." How is it that when Hermione uses that tone of voice, I feel horrible.
"Sorry Hermione." Wait, why am I apologizing? Oh yeah its because that I like my best friend more than just a best friend.
"Its ok, now get started on preparing those ingredients."
"Yes ma'am." I say while giving her a mock salute.
She just shakes her head and starts talking to Adrian in that voice that all girls use around little kids.
"Momma!" Adrian yells while reaching out for Hermione. Oh no what if Hermione thinks that he's calling her that because I told him that I liked her? What if she hates me because she doesn't want to pretend to me his mom? What if…
"Aw. How cute the little filthy thing thinks that the Mudblood's his mom." Ok now I really want to hurt Malfoy.
"Malfoy! How dare you say those cruel things about an innocent child." Hermione screeches. She is so not adorable when she's this kind of mad now she's just plain scary.
"Ms. Granger. Sit down and stop yelling at Mr. Malfoy he has done nothing wrong." Hermione looks so ticked off that I think she's about ready to tell a teacher off for the very first time but instead she just sits down and mumbles, 'Snape is such a big headed fool.'
"What was that Ms. Granger?" Snape asks as he raises an eyebrow as if to challenge her to say what she just said word for word.
"I said that I was sorry for disrupting the class, Professor." I can practically feel the steam coming out of her ears, and not to mention see it too.
We're the first group done with our potion so we just have to sit there and wait for everybody else to finish theirs. So to pass the time we try to teach Adrian some new words.
"Potter, Granger I see that you're both trying to teach that thing new words good luck with that." I swear this guy goes way out of his way just to pick on us. I wonder what the reason is. I mean there are a lot of other Muggleborns at the school and he never seems to pick on them, at least not as much as he does us.
"What's your problem Malfoy?" I finally get the nerve to say.
"I'm not the one who has a problem Potter, I don't hag around Mudbloods." He says cockily.
"Brat!" I look up to see that Adrian had picked up some frog hearts and thrown them right at Malfoy's face. I really wish that I had a camera right now.
"I'm going to kill that little monster!" He screams at the top of his lungs.
"Mr. Malfoy what is going on here." Oh great now I can just picture Professor Snape dissecting Adrian for one of his potions.
"That little monster threw this in my face." He says as he shoves the frog hearts in the Professor's face.
"Like how you're about ready to shove it in my face?" Snape said as if to say, 'You'll so be dead unless you get that out f my face right now' except he'd say it with a lot more anger and smirking as well.
"But Professor what are you going to do about it." He whines in the most annoying voice that I think I've ever heard.
"I know many of you think I'm heartless but he's just a little baby so I can't punish him because he didn't know better," We all look at each other shocked beyond belief and wondering if he was sick. "However, I can take 50 points from Gryffindor for not watching your child as you could have, Mr. Potter."
"I'm sorry Professor it won't happen again." He kind of gained some respect from me when he didn't scream at Adrian, but he's still a greasy git.
"Potter you and that little monster will get yours when the Dark Lord comes for you, you mark my word on it." He hisses at me in a low whisper as he stalks to the back of the class. How could I have practically forgotten all about my role in the upcoming war? I need to start studying new spells and curses so I actually have a chance of surviving the final battle.
"Harry, what's wrong?" She seems to be asking me that question a lot lately.
"I just remembered that Voldemort is still out there and that I'll probably have to face him soon, and I don't think that I'm anywhere near ready to fight him again." I say as we're walking out of potions.
"Don't worry Harry I'll help you everyday and every night if I have to. I want you to be ready for when you have to face him and I'll do anything to help you. I promise I'll help you to the best of my abilities." Wow, I think I'm starting to like her even more, which I didn't think was even possible. I don't love her I just like her but I think if given the chance that I very could love her.
"Thanks Hermione. I think that I'll take you up on that offer soon."
"No problem. I'm always here." What she does after she says this almost gives me a heart attack. She just kissed me lightly on the lips. I can't believe she did that. Does she like me or was she just caught up in the moment.
"Um Hermione?" I ask her. I look over and see that she's looking down at her feet blushing really bad. She looks so cute while blushing.
"Yeah?" She says meekly.
"Why did you just kiss me?" I hear her mumble something but I couldn't quite make out what she said, "What was that I couldn't hear you?"
"I said that I kind of like you." Wow her face got even redder and her she looks at her shoes more intently.
I take a step towards her and lift her head up to mine. Then I lean towards her and brush my lips against hers. Then I smile a sweet smile at her then I say, "I like you too Hermione." She just smiles at me and takes my hand in hers, while we walk down the corridor to our next class. At that moment I felt so great holding Adrian in my arms and holing Hermione's hand in the other. For this moment I could forget about Voldemort and all my other problems.
