Being Bound to your Presence Chapter Four

Ahhhhhh!

Draco sighed. "What is Snape playing at? I thought he liked me! Doesnt he know that i have tp be punished with your evilishness enough?"

"Two things Malfoy." Hermione said. "First, I dont think Snape liked you, he just favoured you.You are truly someone only a mother could love." Hurt flashed befor Dracos eyes for a second, then they turned cold again. "Second, EVILISHNESS IS NOT A WORD."

Hermione exclaimed.

Draco grinned. "Yes it is 'cause thats what you are." In a very childish way, it was cute. Hermione sighed. "Lets get started so we can get theis overwith." Malfoy nodded in agreement.

"Ok, so first we need to get all the ingredients. You go do that and i will heat up the culdren." Hermione said. Draco obeyed.

Draco's P.O.V

I walked over to the cabinet and looked inside. The board said we needed... Moonstone, powdered Newt, beetle eyes and powdered Basilroot. I found everything just fune except for the basil stuff. All the bottles have lables, and none of them said powdered basilroot! This is supposed to be a potions room! Anyways, there were too faded to read. One was kind of brownish and the other orange. I was thinking, well, roots are in the ground and the ground is brown... so just take that.

"I dont know, something could go wrong,"

My conscience said.

It will be fine! just take it! If something goes wrong blame it on know-it-all Granger!

"Just go ask Snape or Granger which one it is!

No! That would be showing weaknesses! Malfoys do not show signs of weakness!

"It wouldnt hurt to ask.

Yes it would!

"No it wouldnt!"

yes!

"No!"

yes!

"Nooo! Im your conscience, I would know!"

"Whatever!" I sad out loud. Why do people have to have a conscience anyway? I grabbed the browny-lookin' powder and all the other ingredients and took them to Granger.

Normal P.O.V

Draco sat the bottles and jars of ingredients down on the table in front of Hermione.

"Ok. So first thing we have to do is add the moonstone." Draco handed her the jar. She mesured it and poured it into the boiling culdron. "Next," She continuted, "we need the beetles eyes." She added them. They worked together fine until they got to the last step. "Hand me the powdered Basilroot Malfoy." Hermione said, stirring the potion. Draco hesitited. Hermione gave him a what-are-you-waiting-for-stupid-git kind of look and he slowly handed it to her. She added a pinch to the potion. It suddenly turned bright blue.

"Your potion should be a navy blue when you are finished." Snate siad from the front of the room. Hermione frowned.

"You got all the right ingredients, didnt you?" she asked, looking worried.

"How can you automaticly pin the blame on me? Maybe it was YOUR fault for a change!" Draco responded angrily. Hermione's eyebrows were arched, but she said nothing. Just then, Snape stood.

"I would like Draco and Granger to test their potion for the class." (a/n: I thought of ending it here, but that is a really evil cliffy.) He said. Draco groaned Hermione spooned some potion into two goblets and they carried them to the front of the class.

"Drink up!" Snape's lip curled evilly. "Cheers." Draco said helplessly. He and Hermione drained their goblets. At first nothing happened. Then they both felt a sharp pain near the navel, and then all was pretty normal. They felt slightly dizzy, but not sleepy. Uh oh. Snape grinned.

"It appears you have made a slight mistake." He said. "Return to your seats." Embarrassed, they set off in different directions to their seats. They had barely taken three steps when they were yanked back and fell to the floor.

"What in the world..." Draco said, rubbing his arm he fell on. "Ahh, it appears (Hermione was getting pretty sick of him saying that) you two have brewed not a dud, but a different potion altogether." Snape said. Slowly Malfoy and Hermione turned to face each other. Standing up, they took a minute to put two and two together. Staring at each other in horror, they screamed so loud the whole castle could have heard.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

a/n: Wow! i think I heard that scream from here! I hope you liked it as much as I liked writing it. I hope you liked the Draco/Draco's conscience argument! Next chapter, both Draco and Hermione's P.O.V, and doesn't this mean that they will have to... share a room...? REVIEW! PLEASE! I LOVE REVIEWS! so wonderful. buh byez!
