The next morning I woke up to the sound of my roommates getting ready for classes. I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, I looked around and saw Hermione helping Ginny with her hair. Parvati and Lavender were in the bathroom putting on makeup and discussing which sixth year Gryffindor had the most gorgeous eyes. Hermione looked over and saw me sitting up and looking around. She put down the brush she'd been holding and walked over to my bed. She smiled and sat on the edge.
"Good morning sleepy head! I was wondering if I was going to have to drag you to breakfast."
"That would have been an entrance." I smiled back. I got out of bed and Hermione helped me make it, by the time I had gotten ready and all of my school things together Ginny, Lavender, and Parvati had already gone down to breakfast.
We were on the last step when I heard my name I looked over toward the door and saw Harry and Ron waving. Hermione and I walked over and exchanged good morning hugs. Then we all headed down to breakfast the boys complaining that all the good food would already have been eaten because we were late thanks to us "girls" who always take forever in the mornings.
We walked into the Great Hall; the morning light was streaming through the glass windows on the ceiling and shining off the silver plates and bowls lining the tables. As soon as we walked into the room the laughter and conversations flooded my ears. I smiled at how alive and light everything was as we started to walk down the length of the tables. As we did I looked up at the head table were the teachers sat and saw Severus staring at me, I suppressed a smile. We found our other friends saving us seats and sat down. Ron immediately pilled food on his plate and dug in, before the rest of us had even picked up our forks. We ate and talked about classes and homework. Most of us had finished when Professor Dumbledore stood up and addressed all the students.
"Good morning! It is time for the day to begin, please head off to your first classes and have a good day!" He sat back down as all of the students got up and started to file out of the Hall. After we had finally made it through the doors and into the hallway we climbed the stairs that lead to the Charms class room. Our first class of the day.
When we got to the classroom everyone was still waiting outside the door, obviously Professor Flitwick hadn't made it back from breakfast. As we approached I saw Draco, he was talking with Crabbe and Goyle. I thought back to last night, what does he want? I was still looking at him when he turned in my direction and saw me staring, he smirked. He turned back to his friends said something and then started to walk toward me.
"Hey, cousin! Can I ask you a question?" He was standing in front of my friends and me now. Harry and Ron stepped in front of me.
"No you can't ask her a question Malfoy!" Harry practical spat in Draco's direction. Hermione was standing next to me, she seemed tense as if prepared to fight, I stepped forward.
"What do you want Draco?" I looked him right in the eyes.
"Well cousin, it seems that you have been seen out and about late at night. Sounds very naughty to me." After what he said two things crossed through my mind. One, oh great people had been seeing me at night I'm going to have to be more careful. And two where was he going with this?
"Draco what exactly is your question?" I crossed my arms across my chest and shifted my weight to my left leg. I didn't want to show how unnerved I actually was.
"Ah, ah, ah patience cousin, I wasn't finished. You know it is quit rude to interrupt." He smiled at me with mocking. Harry moved and took in a breathe as if he was going to say something, I turned and shook my head to tell him no. "Now where I was? Oh yes sneaking around at night, I also heard that those late night were spent in a guys rooms." I couldn't help my jaw from dropping he was pretty much telling the entire class that I was sneaking in and out of guys rooms late at night.
"Don't be stupid Draco! Those are just rumors" I heard Hermione shout.
Draco stopped looking at me and turned his attention to Hermione, "How dare you even talk to me you filthy blood!" Draco and is friends advanced on Hermione, but before they could touch her I spoke.
"That wasn't your question, so stop beating around the bush and ask it already Draco."
"All you had to do was ask, so here is my question, sneaking from room to room with different guys, do you think that's how your mother got pregnant with you?" All of the Slyhterins laughed, but they weren't laughing for long because next thing they saw was me lounging at Draco and hitting every part of his body. We were on the ground rolling around Draco trying to get me off and me trying to beat the crap out of him. He yelled at his friends to grab me and I heard Hermione telling me to stop, but I wasn't listening. I wanted to hurt him I wanted to rip him into pieces for what he had said about my mother. I was crying but they were tears of rage not sadness. I felt two heavy hands grab me from behind and hoist me up off Draco. I tour my eyes away from Draco as he was getting up to see what had happened to my friends. I saw six huge Slytherin boys boxing them up against the wall, then I was forced to look back at Draco by his hand on my chin.
"Not a smart move on your part Johanna! My father will hear about this and you shall be punished!"
"I will take it. And be warned cousin if you ever say anything bad about my mother again I will do more than bet the shit out of you!" I shouted.
"One day that temper will get you in a lot of trouble Johanna, just like it did your mother. And she's dead."
I stomped on Crabbe and Goyle's foot and they let go of me. And before Draco could do anything I yelled, "Expelliarmus!" Draco hit the wall hard and crumpled to the floor. I only had a second to look at his body before I felt a stabbing pain in my gut and then I flew back and slammed against the floor, and then everything went black.
When Hermione saw Johanna hit the wall she let out a cry. The six huge Slytherins that had trapped them up against the wall turned to see what had happened and that was all she needed. She squeezed threw the gap they had made and ran over to where Johanna was lying on the ground. She picked up her head and put it in her lap, she said her name over and over but Johanna wouldn't respond. She started to cry, and then she felt Ron's hand on her shoulder and Harry was telling her something. She turned to look at him and saw that there were double the amount of students then there should have been and all of the house leaders were there along with Headmaster Dumbledore. They were all staring at her and Johanna; Professor Dumbledore stepped forward and looked down at her with his knowing eyes.
"Miss Granger, we need to take Johanna to the hospital wing, so we can help her. Will you entrust her to me?" He said it slowly and softly and he didn't sound forceful or agitated he had all the care in the world in his voice. She bobbed her head up and down and then let Harry and Ron pull her up from the ground. She could barely stand so Ron let her lean on him, she watched as Professor Dumbledore picked Johanna up and cared her off.
