Hermione ran, she didnt know why she was running she had no romantic feelings for anyone and she was sure if that was the case the hex would not take affect, but still she ran. She was turning into the corridor the hospital wing was in before she realised that she was crying, she didn't know why and she had no idea when she had started but she was certain tears where rolling down her cheeks. She lifted her sleeve up to wipe the tears from her face before pushing open the doors of the hospital wing and walking in.
On entering she was met by Madame Pomfrey who said
"Excuse me, but it is not visiting hours Miss Granger."
"Im not here to visit." replied Hermione.
"But Miss Granger, there is nothing wrong with you." said Madame Pomfrey looking confused.
"It was Fred and George's hex, they put it on some food." said Hermione
"And am I to take it that you ate some of this food?" asked Madame Pomfrey, Hermione nodded.
"I presume you where not aware it was hexed though." said Madame Pomfrey,
"Ofcourse I didnt." said Hermione, shocked Madame Pomfrey even had to make sure.
"Just checking." said Madame Pomfrey, Hermione was still frowning.
"Can you tell me what this hex does, I dont want any surprises." Madame Pomfrey continued.
"It.. well it turns you into the person you... fancy." whispered Hermione she could feel her face going red.
"Ah, we should get you away from prying eyes." said Madame Pomfrey, pulling Hermione by the arm to a bed at the far end of the hospital wing.
"Ill leave you to get dressed for bed, I do suppose you want to stay the night?" asked Madame Pomfrey, Hermione nodded
"Good girl, ill try and find a cure for this as soon as possible, if needs must I will track down those weasley twins and get the cure out of them myself." Madame Pomfrey said.
"You know it will probably where of after awhile, I was just thinking here would be a good place where nobody, you know..." said Hermione. Madame Pomfrey smiled and nodded, she drew the curtains round Hermione's bed before walking away. Hermione got changed into the clothes Madame Pomfrey had left her before climbing into the hospital wing bed.
Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Ginny where walking down to the Herbology greenhouses, Harry and Ron had herbology and with slytherins first and Fred , George and Ginny who all had free time tables decided it would be hilarious to watch Harry and Ron struggle with whatever plant Professor Sprout was going to set them today.
As Harry and Ron joined the rest of their class George grinned and them and said
"Have fun" before walking of with Fred and Ginny to sit down against a tree
"Oh good I think, oh no." said Ron as Professor Sprout lead the class into a patch of land not far from the tree Fred, George and Ginny where sat at. Fred winked at Ron and the three spectators burst out laughing. Professor Sprout turned to confront them
"I do not have a problem with you spectating my class however should you cause disruption I will deduct points from your house and send you away." this stopped the laughter.
"Now class gather round, yes like that come on." said Professor Sprout. After the whole class had gathered around she went into an explanation of how a super weed had invaded Hogwarts and she had told Dumbledore that this class would take care of it.
"Now class you will be working in pairs, so can I have a volunteer... Ah yes Longbottom over here please. Now take some of this." she said giving Neville a handfull of what looked like spice to Harry
"And on my command sprinkle half of it, HALF of it on the ground, ready go" Neville emptied what must have been three quarters of it onto the ground infront of him, suddenly a vine like plant shot up and started thrashing around Professor Sprout quickly cast a severing charm on it and yelled
"Now Longbottom throw the rest of the powder." Neville did so, it landed on the place that Professor Sprout had severed it and the remainder of the vine like plant burned away.
"And that is how it is done." said Professor Sprout. "Now, partners, Longbottom and Weasley..." It went on like this until "Potter and Malfoy." Harry groaned, why did every teacher he had always put him with either Malfoy Crabbe or Goyle.
Harry and Malfoy walked over to the patch of land Sprout had allocated them, neither saying a word. Malfoy whipped out his wand and left Harry to collect the powder from Professor Sprout.
"So Potter I heard about the incident in the lunch hall this morning, wont this place be great with two Harry Potters running around" Sneered Malfoy. Harry looked at him pretending to be confused.
"Oh don't pretend your stupid Potter we all know that mudblood Granger is madly in love with you." Said Malfoy
"Anybody stupid enough to believe that shouldn't be at this school." Said Harry calmly.
"Well who do you think she will turn into?" asked Malfoy
"Whoever it is, it's much better than if you ate it, we don't want another Goyle parading around, one is bad enough." Harry said looking up Malfoy was gripping his wand tightly red sparks appearing at the end.
"Careful Malfoy, we don't want any accidents." Harry said staring back at Malfoy's venomous glare. The conversation was broke up at this moment by Professor Sprout yelling at the lack of work Harry and Malfoy had achieved.
As the class ended Harry and Ron walked to the tree that now only George and Ginny where standing at.
"How was Malfoy?" asked Ron.
"Same as ever." Said Harry
"You must have really been annoying him, you should have seen the look's he was giving you, if it hadn't been for Professor Sprout standing over you half the lesson I think Malfoy would've cursed you." Ron said laughing
"Hey, where is Fred?" asked Ron
"He Ran of to start a new project me and him are working on." Answered George. Ron and Harry gave him strange looks while Ginny just rolled her eye's at the fact Fred and George at the fact Harry and Ron found it strange for Fred and George to be plotting.
The group of four made their way back towards the castle just as they where approaching the main door a voice from behind them made them stop.
"Alright Potter." spat Draco Malfoy walking round them to block them from going any further "Say Weasley.." started Malfoy the comment directed at Ron "I never knew Potter was becoming part of your family, all he needs is the hair and he would fit in perfectly."
Harry didnt honestly know how to react to this, he didnt think being part of the Weasley family would be that bad, but to Malfoy it must seem pretty terrible. He didnt want to show this infront of them though so instead he said "I would rather be a Weasley than a Malfoy, Draco."
It might've been the attack on his family, it might have been the use of his first name but something made Malfoy react. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry but just as his curse flew from his wand Harry whipped out his own wand and cast a shielding charm deflecting harmlessly away. The second curse was not so harmless it hit Harry and sent him flying backwards, but he managed to hold onto his wand. He stood up pointed his wand at Malfoy and fired his own curse but Malfoy deflected it. He sent two more curses at him before one hit and disarmed Malfoy. Harry stood grinning, he raised his wand to fire a final curse but before he could three voices yelled from around him and three different curses flew at Malfoy.
The combined power of the curses sent him flying back sprawling him across the grounds, Harry, Ron, Ginny and George all moved towards him raising their wands to fire more curses but before they could a voice cried out
"Stop right there." they looked up to see Severus Snape standing at the main door.
"Duelling between classes, disgraceful." he sneered.
"Especially you Draco, I would expect more of somebody in my own house. Despite that all five of you will serve detention." Snape emphasised the fives making Malfoy look you from his position on the ground.
"Yes you to Draco." said Snape walking back into the castle.
