New Books and Chocolate
After a long lecture of the potion the class was ready to make the potion. "Wow this is a really awkward challenging potion" Remus was reading the instructions over and over again. Hermione was reminded what she smelt when she was in her sixth year with Harry and Ron. Freshly mown grass, new parchment, spearmint toothpaste, and Ron Weasley's hair... She shook herself again reminding herself he doesn't even exist yet. Snape was already mixing the potion. Wow Snape really is good at potions she thought no wonder he became professor. She turned to Remus who was now trying to help Snape but just gave him evils whenever he did so he gave up and sat back down. Hermione laughed, "What's so funny?" Remus looked up at Hermione with a smile on his face, Hermione loved his smile he did look really handsome.. "Just you" she put her head down and looked up at him. Remus blushed, "potion is done, wouldn't bother smelling it probably smells of yourself seem as Gryffindors are so up their own arse" Hermione began to protest but Remus but in. "Now now Severus be easy" Remus didn't want to smell the potion, he was unsure of what it would smell like, he was very confusing when it came to his feelings. Hermione decided to smell it anyway just because she hardly knew anyone and she couldn't possibly have feelings for anyone right now. She went over to the potion and leant over. She smelt trees and the dirt on the ground, new books and chocolate.. She gasped stepping away from the cauldron, Remus and snap looked at her curiously. "What is it?" Remus looked hopeful for her response. Hermione thought of a quick response "oh my ex" Hermione sat down and scribbled notes down not speaking to anyone. Snape did the same, Remus sat there looking sad, and he then knew what he would smell... As soon as potions finished Hermione rushed out the room trying not to cry. "Hermione?" She heard someone call after her. "Oh sorry Remus, headache" She didn't like lying all the time. "It's okay, what's your next class?" Hermione got her new timetable out again. "Defense against the dark arts, you?" Remus smiled suddenly. "Same, come on" he led her the other way to DADA. They got to the class early and sat at the back again. The seats were laid out in rows of four, Hermione sat on the third row in and Remus sat on the outside. The doors barged open and you called hear loud laughs coming into the room. "Hey sexy! And granger" Sirius black waltz in winked and sat next to Hermione, Remus rolled his eyes. "Oi moony don't roll your eyes at me!" He leant behind Hermione and punched his arm. Remus glared and Sirius chuckled. Meanwhile Peter was arguing with James about the last remaining seat that was already occupied by James. "Wormtail I got here first, end of. Go sit next to someone else!" Peter looked around and the only remaining seat was next to Emmeline and she did not look happy with this. Professor Walker came into the class, he had a short grey beard and long grey hair tied into a small braid coming down halfway on his back. "Today class we are dueling" the class erupted with cheers, the professor turned to his class and smiled. "Yes yes very exciting! Right where is miss granger?" Hermione slowly raised her hand. "Y-yes sir?" The old man smiled. "Professor Dumbledore says you have a good record for dueling am I correct?" Hermione didn't think she had but then remembered all the adventures and the battle of Hogwarts and realized actually she was. "I um suppose so sir" Hermione's cheeks blushed, the whole class was staring at her. "Up you come, let me find you a partner" Hermione got up to the front of the class while the Professor scanned his class. "Mr. Black I believe you will be good competition! Come on!" Sirius looked happy with himself "delighted sir" he winked that irritating wink at Hermione, she rolled her eyes. The tables in the class moved with the students behind them and made space for a mini platform in the center of the class. Both students went to the center of the stage. Sirius whispered in her ear "Don't worry I'll go easy on you" Hermione rolled her eyes and replied sarcastically "Thanks Sirius" a big déjà vu moment happened as she remembered her and Ron's conversation in a DA class. She smiled and went to her post an as soon as Sirius got to his she shouted and pointed her wand "Stupefy!" Sirius flew backwards into the wall "OW-Obsc-!" Hermione got there before Sirius could say all his spell "protego!" Sirius fell back again very frustrated there were a few sniggers. "Levicorpus!" Sirius was now dangling by his ankles, Hermione didn't leave him up there too long and let him back down with the counter curse "Liberacorpus" Sirius fell back down and Hermione conjured her last two spells "Expelliarmus!" Sirius' wand flew into her hand and to finish everything of said the Incantation "Colovaria" which turned a very angry Sirius Blacks hair bright pink. The whole class laughed at the incident. "Well done miss granger! Think we've met you're match mr black" Sirius stood up and snatched his wand from Hermione and sat back down next to James. Remus was in awe of her, he knew she was a very powerful witch, he wanted to know more. On the opposite side of the class sat a very shocked Severus Snape. He was liking Hermione very much at beating Sirius but was dumbstruck when she used his own spell he created a year ago, no one knew about it how would a new student know?
