Just This Once
Unsure of what to say or what to do, Aleina found herself opening and closing her mouth repeatedly. This was the thing she feared the most. Soon, and very soon, Professor Snape would know her secret. One that she has kept since she was 14. And in about a month she would be turning 18. Aleina took all the necessary precautions in order to make sure that her secret was never to be revealed, but she had over looked this small detail.
"Aleina, what the hell is wrong with you, you look like you've just seen a ghost!" Hermione finally blurted out. Aleina refocused her attention and just looked at Hermione. She shook her head and opened her book to see the list of ingredients for the potion. It seemed to be quite complicated and very intricate, which was good for her sake.
"Nothing's wrong Hermione, I was just uhh thinking about something that happened the other night." Aleina finally said, trying to show Hermione that there was in fact something wrong. "C'mon we'd better get started."
On their way to the storage closet Aleina thought furiously of a way to escape from this very big disaster that was about to happen. Normally she could think of something, or some way to get out of any potential trouble. And in this case she most definitley could, but as long as Hermione was her partner, there was no way she could pull anything slick. Hermione and Aleina were jsut alike in so many ways. They are both extremely intelligent, but Hermione flaunts hers much more than Aleina. And they both are able to call bullshit and piece together a true story.
So how in the world could Aleina slip something past Hermione. After gathering all the ingredients, Hermione and Aleina began to work in silence.
"Aleina, I can clearly see that something is wrong. You can't hide anything from me and you should know this by now," Hermione told her while mixing together some unicorn blood and spider venom. "Wow this is a complicated potion to make," Hermione finished.
"Yeah it does seem pretty complicated. But uhm, well do you think you could do me the biggest favor in the world Hermione?" Aleina asked while slowly mincing dragonfly eyes. "I mean, I don't think you're going to want to do this though"
"Don't tell me that you want me to brew this entire potion!" Hermione returned rather smugly. She gave Aleina a dissaproving look as she continued to stir the viscous liquid.
"No, I dont want you to do that, but it's something along those lines..." Aleina admitted. Hermione looked at her in disbelief.
"What do you want?" She questioned again, growing irrtated at Aleina's lack of detail. Aleina sighed, trying again to piece together the words in her mind. But it seemed to take a little while to come up with a way to ask this question. Then again, the only way to ask is really just straight-forward. "Well?" Hermione asked impatiently
"Look, Hermione, I know you don't want to do this but, if you could please screw this potion up. Just this once I swear I will do anything to make it up to you!" Aleina let out all in one breath. She fel terrible about asking her best friend to sacrifice her grade just for the sake of keeping a secret. Hermione gave her the strangest look she had ever seen. It fell somewhere between confusion and you-must-be-crazy.
"Are you kidding Aleina? Do you realize that I have an almost perfect grade in this class and you want me to mess that up why?" Hermione began half yelling and then lowering her voice almost to a whisper, as she had noticed Professor Snape looking in her direction.
"Ok, I know that's a very selfish thing of me to ask. But you really don't understand. There was something that happened, back when I was 14, and i didn't believe it to be a big deal until I came here to Hogwarts. And if I told you right now, you probably wouldn't look at me the same ever again," Aleina began, feeling very ashamed. "And I know that I have gotten you into plenty of trouble over the past few years even when I told you to trust me. And I know that you really don't trust my judgement on situations anymore. But if there is ever a time that i need you to trust me, it's now. I'm not ready for my secret to be revealed..."
Hermione's brain was working hard to put together the pieces of Aleina's speech. Trying to make sense of it all somehow, but nothing came.
"Ok, wow, uhm...if you are serious about all this, and if it's truly that important then, i guess i can mess up just this once." Hermione stated rather coolly. Aleina looked at her as if she had seven heads. It was highly unlikely for Hermione to say this. And then that mischevious smile arose on Hermione's face. "As long as you promise to tell me what this secret is."
Aleina thought for a minute, unsure of what to do. Now either way, somebody is going to figure out her secret. Whether it be Professor Snape...or Hermione. She just had to figure out whether it would be best for Snape to know, or Hermione. In her mind, that was a tough decision. But only after a few minutes of thought, she decided she'd rather have her best friend know instead of a foul, greasy haired, hook nosed hit.
"Agreed," Aleina surrendered.
A/N: I know it might seem a little boring still but I promise to have some good stuff coming up soon. I just want to build the story a bit before diving into the real juicy stuff. Like said, smut soon to come and also any reviews are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.
