Potions Class
Hermione entered the Great Hall. The smell of food drifted into her nostrils. She hadn\'t eaten at all the previous day and her body was starting to feel it. She spotted Ron and Harry....and Ginny. Harry had his arm around her and was whispering something in her ear that she seemed to find incredibly funny.
Hermione\'s stomach lurched.
\"Maybe I\'m not as hungry as I thought.\"
Harry waved her over and frowned slightly when, instead of taking her usual seat with the group of friends, polietly opted for a seat between Neville and Seamus.
The food that had smelled so good upon entering the Hall, now looked terribly unappealing.
She checked her schedule. Double potions with Slytherin.
\"As usual\" she thought.
Her eyes drifted over to the Slytherin table and surprisingly, met Malfoy\'s but only for a mere second before he turned them away. She raised an eyebrow slightly. She was still terribly embarassed about last night and this morning now that she thought about it. She noticed the cold look in his eyes as he sat there on his throne as the Prince of Slytherin with Pansy Parkinson crazy-glued to his arm. She smiled to herself. Last night, she had seen Draco Malfoy act like a decent human being. Wonder if Pansy\'s ever seen that....
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Draco was subtley trying to remove his arm from Pansy\'s death grip. His fingers tingled slightly due to lack of circulation. He wriggled it and tugged at it, but she held fast.
\"Shes stronger than she looks.\" he thought.
She finally freed him on the pretense that he needed to look at his schedule.
\"Hmm...double potions.\" he thought. This could be interesting.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
The day went by in a blur. Before she knew it she was standing in front of Snape\'s large dungeon-classroom. She walked through the door with Harry and Ron. They took their seats and Hermione dodged eary which way to make sure she was seated next to Ron, not Harry. Harry, dense as he is, simply grinned and took it an excuse for Hermione to be up close and cozy with Ron. Totally missing the point, he took the seat on her left as ron sat down on her right.
\"Git\" she thought to herself. Did he really think her love was so trivial that she could just hand it out like lollipops to class full of kindergarteners?
For some reason unbeknownst to her, she glanced in Draco\'s direction. He had a subtle look of disappointment on his face. He didn\'t look away. Simply stared and shook his head slowly. She barely heard Snape enter the classroom.
\"I\'m going to be assigning lab partners.\" he stated smugly.
Not to Hermione\'s surprise, she was parked beside Draco. Snape knew it would irritate her beyond belief to be saddled with that smug, smirking prat and if it this had been a normal day, he would have been right.
Hermione still had the warm feeling inside though. The feeling she had woken up with when she found herself nestled in the crook of Draco\'s arm. Maybe he still felt the same too. Only the cold glare she was recieveing from him made her think differently.
Once their assignment was made and everyone was working diligently and paying little attention to what was going on in other groups, did Draco speak.
“So...” he hissed under his breath, not bothering to look in her direction. “He took your heart and ground it into the mud. Yet he snaps his fingers and you haul your big fat ass right back to him like a little lap dog. Now that\'s loyalty.”
Hermione was taken aback. Those were definatley not the words she had expected to hear.
\"What?\" She asked incrediously. She fell silent as Snape passed them and appraised their potion. It was correct. He marked down their points and moved on. Hermione continued to speak.
“First of all...” Hermione hissed back. “its none of your business. Second, just because he doesn’t want to be my boyfriend doesn’t mean I have to stop being friends with him, and finally, my ass is NOT fat!”
Draco leaned in just inches away from her ear and whispered quietly
\"No, actually, its rather nice.\" He gave her a little pat on the rear just as Snape excused the class and he strode slowly toward the door. He didn\'t make it far before Pansy once again attatched herself to him.
Hermione was dumbfounded.
\"What the hell was that!?\" she thought. \"Has the world gone mad???\"
She gathered her belongings and headed toward the door. Once again, her mind found her in the astronomy tower with Draco. It was all so confusing. He had been there at just the right time.....wait...why had Draco been in the Astronomy Tower that night?
TBC!!!
