Twin Love Competition Version 2

by Julia Bartlett

Many people are vying for Hermione's attention in this story. Many twists & surprises. HG/? This is a revision to my original Twin Love Competition. A lot of it is the same as before, but I've changed some stuff around and fixed some of the errors.

3. 3 A Potions Surprise

Chapter 3: A Potions Surprise

The next day went on, and it finally came to many of the Gryffindor's most disliked class: double Potions, with the Slytherins. Hermione, Harry, and Ron took their normal seats in the back of the room.

Hermione usually paid attention in every class, but today she couldn't keep focused. She kept getting the strange feeling that someone was watching her.

She looked carefully around the room, but she didn't see anyone in particular looking at her. Everyone seemed to be looking at Snape. She glanced around every now and then but still saw no one.

Eventually, she just gave up and tried to listen to the lesson. A few minutes later, though, she got an even stronger feeling that she was being watched and couldn't ignore it.

When she looked around this time, she saw the one person she hated the most. Draco Malfoy was staring right at her. Hermione narrowed her eyes at him and they stayed looking at each other (Draco just looking, Hermione glaring) for the longest time.

Eventually, a voice interrupted their stare-fest and they were both brought back to reality.

"Granger!" Snape bellowed. Hermione quickly looked at the professor. "Not paying attention to the lesson? I see. That's how accidents happen, Granger. Ten Poi-"

Before he could finish, another voice interrupted.

"Professor, perhaps today you could give the Gryffindors a break. It is just her first time not paying attention." The voice belonged to the one and only Draco Malfoy. (A/N: I know, I know. OOC for him, but oh well. It's my story.)

Hermione looked shocked. Snape hastily nodded in agreement, and went back to going over the lesson. Hermione shot a confused, unsure glare in Draco's direction.

The lesson finally ended with the Gryffindors having only 10 points taken away because Neville had melted his cauldron again. Getting up to leave, Hermione heard the drawling voice of her enemy.

"Don't get used to that, Granger. I'm not this generous to mudbloods everyday." Malfoy said while Crabbe and Goyle sniggered behind them. Hermione, upset, quickly walked off and up to the GCR.
