Hermione tried to avoid Tom for the rest of the day. When she had to be near him, she usually threw fits or began yelling at him.
"We need to work!" Hermione yelled at Tom for not meeting her in the library as they planned to. He sat in the common room and was chatting with Lucius and Severus before Hermione interrupted. There were also a bunch of girls surrounding him, which did not surprise her much; Tom and Lucius did look good, but Severus . . . well, he was a different story.
"I am busy," he replied through bit teeth.
"Well, that is just too bad for you! Now get up before I do something drastic," Hermione warned.
"Like what?" he asked and smirked out of amusement. She thought she could make him get up?
"Petrificus totalis!" she exclaimed then began to levitate his body. "Don't any of you dare try to help him, or else," Hermione sent death glares to everyone. She slung her bag over her shoulder, picked Bianca up then began to leave, but turned around. "Severus, Lucius, you two need to get to work, as well," she said then turned around again and left.
Many people passing Hermione in the halls gaped at her and the floating body of Tom following close behind her. She only stopped to chat with James, who got the biggest kick out of a frozen Tom. After she finished talking with James, she began walking to the library again. She entered the library with Tom close behind her. She found an empty table and sat down. She put her bag down on the table and Bianca walked out, pulling Hermione's supplies, but stopped and laughed silently when she saw Tom. She ended up lying on the table with a soar stomach from laughing so much. Hermione took the body bind off him once she was settled in, so he was still levitating.
"What the hell was that for?!" Tom asked, still floating there.
"You were being a bastard," Hermione said. Bianca looked at Tom and smiled, happy about Hermione, but she also found Tom floating in the air hysterical. Hermione dropped him and Bianca doubled over in silent laughter. "Now, sit Tom."
"Why should I?" he asked. Hermione thought for a moment then smiled.
"If you do not cooperate, I will tell Dumbledore about this, and what you did to me, although, he will find out soon enough . . ." Hermione said and looked down at the table smiling. She looked up and saw Tom sitting across from her and he sighed. Hermione continued smiling as she handed some books to Tom and read some books herself.
