Hey guys! Just wanted to say thanks for all the reviews, and sorry that I didn't fit Peeta in. He'll either be in this chapter or the next. Also, the Blue M&M and I have come to an agreement that she will NOT be my manager, just a "Little Helper" as I said in the first place. (Sorry, just had to get that straight with her.) And, as always, please review, and most importantly, ENJOY!
Chapter 12
"No!" Hermione cried and ran away. It couldn't have happened. Not possibly, the Snitch couldn't have done that. But it had. Hermione ran to the Gryffindor common room and up to her dorm. She jumped into her bed, pulling the covers up to conceal her body, and shoved her head into the pillow and cried. She heard approaching footsteps.
"Hermione?" asked Ginny. Hermione sat up. "Hermione, what happened?" Hermione got up and ran to Ginny, hugging her for all she was worth.
"Draco," she murmured, tears still falling. "The Snitch, it… I don't know how, but it changed him." Ginny squeezed her then pulled away.
"What about Malfoy?" Ginny thought for a moment, then looked back at Hermione. "Did he, you know, dump you?" Hermione shook her head.
"He doesn't remember liking me, going to Riddle Mansion with me, being inside the bubble with me, anything that we did." Hermione looked into Ginny's eyes. "The Snitch made him think that I am a rude name that I do not want to say, not the sweet girl I am and he grew to know and believe." Another tear rolled down her cheek. "They destroyed me."
Ooo
"Harry, what exactly did the Snitch say?"
"It said," He started with a sigh. "One may let go, but the other must not break hold. This game shall not be a draw. A reward for the one who let's go first. However, once one lets go, the other's hand shall be locked into place until the change is complete." Harry finished.
"So you let go first?" Hermione said, trying to confirm things. Harry nodded.
"So what was you're reward?"
"Well," Harry said slyly. "There was a little voice in my head saying 'One wish for you, to do with the opposing Seeker'. I thought about it, and then I said 'I want him to not like my friend anymore'." Harry shrugged. "I guess it worked."
Hermione felt anger boiling up inside her. She made sure no one was looking, and then punched him square in the face. She heard a chuckle from the Slytherin table. She turned around to see Draco laughing, red in the face. She smiled at him, and he scowled back, making her smile turn upside down. She raised her eyebrows at him, as if to say "Watch this, it can get better." And kicked his shins. She smirked at him and Ron, smiled a genuine smile at Draco, and then ran up to destroy Harry's dorm stuff.
She got up the stairs to his room and grabbed his books, doing something she would've screamed if she saw happen in front of her, if it were another time. She threw them across the room, then jumbled them up and threw them to different places. She ripped parchment and spilt ink; she smashed vials and squashed potion ingredients. But the worst thing she did was let Hedwig out of her cage, eating half the ingredients and flying around, messing up other belongings and his bed.
She then ran back to breakfast to gather her forgotten supplies for the day.
Ooo
Hermione enjoyed herself in Potions. She had to sit next to Draco, as that was where they had sat at the start of the year. She helped him, though much to his disgust. Harry and Ron missed out on making the potion they had longed to make; the Fun making Potion. They had to try it on someone, pulling the names out of a hat. The last name left had to drink it.
"Miss Brown, Mr Goyle, Miss Parkinson, Miss Patil one, Mr Crabbe, Mr Finnigan, Mr Zabini, Miss Greengrass, Mr Thomas, Miss Patil two, Professor Snape, Mr Malfoy." Snape looked up. "That leaves one left. Miss Granger, please demonstrate the potion." Hermione tingled with excitement. She got to drink it.
She walked up to the front of the classroom and drank the potion. "Now, Miss Granger. Do you feel any different?" Hermione looked at Snape and smiled.
"I know just what to do!" she giggled, unable to stop herself from having fun. She skipped around the classroom, singing "La di la di la!" Snape walked up to her and stopped her. She tried to get away to skip around again, but she didn't want to. The potion was making her do what she thought was fun. She was glad Draco didn't get chosen; he'd be calling people names all day. Snape slipped a potion down her throat, and the effects wore off.
Draco smirked at her. She felt happy to be smirked at, and she smirked back as his cauldron blew up in his pretty little face.
Just wanted to say thanks for your support.
