A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the delay. Our air was broken for week so I just couldn't write. And I am really bad at juggling stories.

I hope you guys like it! Please keep up the reviews. They make me happy!
Chapter 2: The Challenging Gryffindor and the Challenged Hufflepuff
"Haha your boyfriend was gay! That's a sweet burn!" Kelso chided at Donna.
"God Kelso you're so dumb!" Donna smacked him on the arm "In fact, isn't that why you and her got together?" She asked, gesturing to Kelso's girlfriend.
"I'm not dumb. I just have a hard time with tests and school, but that doesn't matter when you have as good of looks as I do." He assured.
"Michael, that is a horrible thing to say." His beautiful girlfriend spoke with distaste.
"Oh come on baby. I won you over with my good looks." He made a pouty face at her but she stood her ground.
"That's not exactly how I remember it."
Two years prior…
"Come on Kelso, we are late for Potions class, and Professor Snape scares me." Fez whined
"Hold on Fez, I just want to see if I can get my firecracker suit on Mrs. Norris!" He replied as he chased the grey cat around the room.
"Seriously Kelso, come on!" Eric shouted as he and Hyde dragged their moronic friend away.
They rushed to the dungeons for Professor Snape's class. They made it just in time.
"Ah the geniuses from America have arrived. I was worried that class would not move smoothly without them." Snape spoke, reeking in sarcasm.
"For today's lesson we will be learning how to brew love potion." Snape informed the class.
"Man, I'm going to use a love potion on that hot Slytherin cheerleader, Jackie Burkhart." Kelso stared across the room at the tiny brunette.
"Ugh Kelso. First of all, love doesn't really exist man. It's created by the greeting card and jewelry companies to make guys like us buy a bunch of crap. Secondly, that girl is shallow, bitchy, and mean. You don't want anything to do with her." Hyde spoke irritably.
"Yeah but she's hot!" Kelso exclaimed loudly, interrupting Snape's lecture, and earning himself an angry look from not only Snape, but the curly haired girl sitting in the seat in front of him.
"Will you keep it down, Don Juan El Tardo?!" Hyde whispered forcefully.
"Look, Kelso, didn't she turn you down last year when you asked her to the Yule Ball?" Eric asked his friend patiently.
"Yeah well, Donna turned you down, but then she caught her boyfriend frenching another guy. I could get Draco Malfoy to kiss another guy, no problem. But who…" Kelso wondered deep in thought, before jumping up.
"Eureka! Fez could kiss Malfoy!" He shouted out, gaining the attention of the entire class.
Fez ducked his head in humiliation "You have to sleep sometime. You son of a bitch!"
"Mr. Kelso, would you like to serve detention with me?" Snape asked gravely.
"Duh no one wants detention." Kelso stated obviously.
Snape held back his anger. "Well it seems you do. You are a terrible student with no hope of passing your O.W.L.s. It seems you are simply a moron with feathered hair."
"Professor Snape, you know what your problem is? I'm too good looking." He spoke in all sincerity.
"Silence!" Snape ordered, smacking him on the back of his head with a newspaper.
Meanwhile the girl in front of him simply rolled her eyes in disgust.
Later that day, the gang sat in Transfiguration. Fez had broken and taped his wand. He broke it accidentally when he was caught by Cedric Diggory, touching his other wand in the Hufflepuff common room. He was now attempting to transfigure a toad into a watch.
"Oh Mr…Mr…Mr. Fez, your wand seems to not be working right." Professor McGonagall
said
"Burn!" Kelso shouted happily.
"Mr. Kelso, there is no shouting my classroom. Now it seems you have not completed the transfiguration either. Let me inspect your wand." She spoke sternly.
Kelso winked at his friends "Sure thing sweetheart. My wand works just fine if you know what I mean."
After checking his wand, McGonagall continued with instruction. Kelso looked over at his friends and whispered proudly.
"Did you see that? The teacher was totally into me!"
"Ugh moron." The girl behind him muttered under her breath.
After class, Kelso and Fez were making their way to their common room when Kelso felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned and saw the last person he expected.
"Yeah?" He asked dumbfounded.
"I'm Hermione Granger. I have Potions and Transfiguration with you." Hermione introduced herself hesitantly.
"Uh yeah, I know. You have a bigger fro than my friend Hyde." Kelso replied, obliviously.
"Uh…" she hesitated momentarily "So Professor McGonagall asked me to tutor you for the O.W.L. exams."
"Tutor me…alright!" He shouted "How about the room of requirement, at say 7:00?"
Hermione fidgeted "That would be fine. I'll see you tonight." She spoke business like and walked away.
"Man did you hear that?!" Kelso asked Fez excitedly.
"Uh yes. She is going to tutor you." Fez replied, confused by his friend's excitement.
Kelso shook his head "Fez, tutoring doesn't mean tutoring. It means we're gonna do it!"
"Oh really?! Why can't Fez get a tutor?" He pouted sadly.
That night Hermione approached the room of requirement nervously. She was not crazy about the idea of tutoring Michael Kelso. It seemed to be a lost cause, but Professor McGonagall wished it, and Hermione Granger was not one to disappoint a teacher. The door opened and Kelso peeked his head out.
"Hey pretty lady, come on in." He opened the door and made room for her to enter.
As Hermione entered, she drew a breath of shock. The room was not set up for studying, but for…
There was a roaring fire. A heart shaped bed was positioned in the center of the room. In the corner, stood a large champagne glass shaped hot tub. On the ceiling above the bed, were mirrors. Hermione was mortified.
"Michael, what on earth is all this?" She asked perplexed.
"This is the love nest. If you want we can do it in my flying Shaggin' Wagon instead." He grinned wickedly.
"Ugh Michael, we are not doing it! We're here to study. I'm just here to tutor you!" She shouted in disgust.
"So tutoring really meant tutoring?" He asked, disappointed.
"Yes!" She shouted.
"Oh…" Kelso looked around awkwardly.
"But I can see this was a mistake." Hermione huffed and began to walk away.
Kelso realized that for some reason he hated the look of pain he had caused on her face.
"Wait. Look, I would really like it if you tutored me. We can just go to the library if you want." He spoke sincerely.
She paused momentarily "Okay fine. Let's go." She gestured for him to go first.
"So which way's the library?" He asked dumbly as she rolled her eyes.
For the next months, Hermione tutored Kelso. Every time he felt fed up and wanted to quit she wouldn't let him. She pushed and pushed him to meet his potential, something no one else had ever done for him. As the time went on Kelso began to really like Hermione, and though she hated to admit it, she liked him back. The time finally came for the O.W.L exams. As Kelso took them, he was astounded at how easy they seemed. He flew through them with flying colors. All because of Hermione Granger.
After all the exams had been taken, Kelso asked Hermione to meet him, once again at the room of requirement.
"Honestly Michael, if it looks anything like the 'love nest', I will be so mad."
He smiled deviously "Just trust me."
He opened the door and once again Hermione was in shock, but this time it was pleasant. Inside the room was warm and cozy. It was lit with hundreds of candles and the fireplace. There was a romantic dinner on a table with butterbeer chilling. It was exquisite.
"Oh Michael…" She spoke in awe.
"I wanted us to celebrate properly." He said as he led her to the table and poured the butterbeer.
After they ate, Hermione smiled and looked at him sweetly.
"Michael this was lovely. I am so proud of you." She said fondly.
"Well, I wouldn't have done so well on the tests if it wasn't for you. You're the only person who ever believed I could be special."
"You are special." She assured.
They looked deep into each other's eyes and began to lean in. Their lips met in a tender, romantic kiss, unequal to anything either of them had experienced before. The kiss turned heated as they noticed something move behind them. They broke the kiss to find that a cozy bed had popped up next to the fire.
"Michael, was that you?" She asked through her laughter.
"I don't know babe, I think it was you. I have been told I'm a good kisser."
She smiled deviously "I'll race you to the bed!"
She jumped up and he followed quickly, grabbing her in his arms as they landed on the bed, where they would definitely both earn "Os".
