The three of them made it to class, literally right on time because of the whole ordeal with Malfoy. Of course, it just happened to be with the one teacher who hated them more than anything, Snape.
"Glad the three of you decided to show up. Now take your seats before you interrupt my lesson. Next time you're late, house points will be deducted for your tardiness, and from our Head Girl too. Disappointing."
Draco turned around in his seat and sent her a smug look.
Hermione, who had had enough of Draco for the day already, ignored his look and instead focused on Snape, making sure to keep her eyes as far away from the Head Boy as possible.
"A list of names will be appearing on the board in a moment. Everyone will have a name beside theirs, which will depict your partner for this class. You are to work together with your partner on all of the potions that will be assigned."
Snape waved his wand, and a list of names appeared on the board.
Hermione felt her stomach tighten when she read the name that was linked with hers.
"Gather your things, and go and sit beside your new partner."
"I'm partnered with Zabini, which shouldn't be all that bad.." Harry stated aloud.
"I'm with Parkinson" Ron said, disgust evident in his voice.
"Who are you with Hermione?" Ron asked.
Harry looked up at the board. "He paired you with Malfoy?"
Hermione nodded her head slowly.
"Is he bloody mental?" Ron hissed.
"Ron, it's fine, I'll be okay" Hermione said, trying to convince both him, and herself.
"I do not want you partnered with that lunatic!" Ron exclaimed.
"Is there a problem Mr. Weasley?" Snape asked.
All the students stopped talking and moving, waiting to see what would happen next.
"Yes, there is a bloody problem. Why would you pair that git with Hermione?" Ron asked angrily.
"I do not appreciate you insulting another student in my presence, 5 points from Gryffindor for your sheer lack of respect for your fellow students. And if Miss. Granger has a problem with who she is paired with, then why doesn't she say something herself?"
Ron was about to make a comment, but Harry kicked him under the table, cutting him off.
"Is there a problem with who you are partnered with Miss. Granger?" Snape asked.
Hermione wanted to tell Snape exactly what her problem was. That Draco was an egotistical, spoiled, disrespectful prat, that she would rather avoid then have to work with, but instead she bit her tongue and said "None at all."
"Does anyone else have a problem?" Snape asked scanning the classroom.
When no one spoke up, Snape nodded his head and said "Now, everyone go and sit with your new partners immediately before I start deducting more house points."
Hermione looked over at Draco, whose eyes were already on her.
If she was going to be partnered with him, fine. But she was not the one who was going to move, he was.
They both sat there and stared at one another, neither one wanting to give into the other.
Draco pointed to the seat next to him, insinuating that he was not going to be the one moving. Hermione normally would have sat there the entire time, not wanting to give in to Draco and having him one up her, but, Snape was now looking at her, and Gryffindor had already lost enough house points for the day. So, Hermione sucked up her pride, gathered her things, and walked over to Malfoy, her head held high.
She threw her bag down on the table, and sat down.
"Do you really have to be so dramatic?" Draco drawled.
"And do you really have to be such a prat?" Hermione asked in return.
"Let's get one thing straight" Draco said dangerously, turning towards her. "If you're going to be partnered with me for the remainder of the school year, it would be in your best interest not to piss me off."
"That goes both ways Malfoy" Hermione stated angrily.
"You really think I'm afraid of you Mudblood? You saw what I was capable of earlier, and that was nothing, in what world would I be afraid of you." Draco hissed.
Hermione knew she should have let the argument end there, but she didn't want him to have the last word. Besides, he had already pissed her off enough today, to the point where she didn't care anymore.
"Congratulations, you learned a new magic trick. If I recall, I do get better grades than you in every subject, so what makes you think I wouldn't know how to defend myself?" Hermione spat.
"You think you're so smart just because of your grades. Sorry that everyone else at this school has a life besides sticking their nose in a book every hour of the day. But the again, I can't blame you based off of the people that you hang out with, I would probably do the same." Draco stated venomously.
"And you think Crabbe and Goyle are better company?" Hermione asked mockingly.
"I swear Granger, you need to learn to keep your mouth closed." Draco warned dangerously.
"Or what? You're going to hex me? Oh, wait, you're too much of a coward you'd get your father to do it for you" Hermione said, knowing that she hit a nerve when Draco's face contorted with anger. Although she was happy that she had finally affected him with something that she had said, the look he was now giving her made her blood run cold, and sent shivers down her spine.
"The minute we step out of this school, you will be the first person on my list to kill. You won't have Dumbledore keeping an eye on you 24/7. Watch your back Mudblood."
Hermione didn't have anything to say back, and Draco wouldn't have listened anyways, as he had turned his attention away from her. Hermione knew she shouldn't have pushed him, but she hated how he thought he was so inferior to everyone else, especially her. She didn't doubt that Draco was capable of more than she had seen in the hallway, and yet she had mocked him about it, just so she could try and piss him off as much as he pissed her off.
Hermione looked around the room, and her eyes locked with Blaise. She had forgotten about everyone else in the classroom during hers and Malfoy's argument. Thankfully, by the looks of it, everyone else was still too busy with their partners, except for Blaise who, by the look on his face, had overheard the entire thing.
He shook his head sadly, and turned back around to face the front of the classroom.
Hermione felt her stomach knot. She knew how hard that must have been for Blaise to hear, he was best friends with both of them. It was hard enough for him already because of the hatred between herself and Draco, and when they argued it made it that much worse, because he was forced to choose sides.
She wasn't going to apologize to Draco, that was for sure, but she would definitely apologize to Blaise. She didn't want to lose his friendship, she valued it greatly.
When class ended, Hermione got up quickly and made her way over to where Blaise was sitting. He looked up, and smiled slightly at her appearance.
"Can I talk to you?" Hermione asked softly.
"Of course you can, just give me a minute and I'll meet you outside the classroom okay?"
Hermione nodded and made her way to the exit.
"Oi! Hermione, wait up!" Ron called, walking quickly to catch up with her, Harry by his side.
"Where are you off to in a hurry?" Harry asked.
"I'm meeting Blaise outside of the classroom"
"Why?" Ron asked, jealously already making its way into his voice.
"Because I need to talk to him about something."
"Is everything okay?" Harry asked.
Hermione smiled at her sweet, caring friend. Harry would never keep questioning her, if she said something he always wanted to make sure that she was okay. As much as she loved Ron, she wished he could be more openly caring like Harry. Jealousy was good at times, as it showed that he did care, but too much of it got on her nerves.
"Oh, you know, the usual. Got in an argument with Malfoy during class, and just wanted to talk to Blaise about it because he's kind of in the middle, and I don't want him to feel like he has to choose sides."
"What did that git do?" Ron asked protectively.
Hermione waved her hand at him "Like I said, the usual. Arguing and threats, but nothing I couldn't handle. I dished it back at him just as hard, so no worries" Hermione said leaning in to give Ron a small peck, to ease his worrying.
"Can you two not show such a revolting site in public where everyone can see?"
Hermione stiffened upon hearing his voice.
"Sod off Malfoy" Ron snapped.
"I mean, congratulations Weasley for finally finding a girl who doesn't care that you're poor and ugly. Although, she's got less money and is uglier than you are, so I guess it makes sense as to why you are both together."
Ron went to grab for his wand, but Draco stopped him in his tracks.
"Are we really going to do a repeat of earlier this morning? I told you the next time I wouldn't be as nice, and I keep my promises" Draco said darkly.
Ron lowered his arm, defeated.
"That's what I thought." Draco said smugly. "Weasley, you should teach your girlfriend a lesson or two on being submissive. We wouldn't want any.. accidents to happen."
Blaise had just walked out of the classroom and decided to interfere before anything else was said, or before anything drastic happened.
"Hermione, you said you wanted to talk?"
Hermione forgot about Draco instantly, and a smile graced her features "Yes, I did. Harry, Ron, I'll meet you guys in class in a few minutes. Save me a seat!"
"Don't be late" Harry said winking.
"I won't" Hermione said with a smile.
"Later babe" Ron said, making a point of looking at Blaise before he turned and started heading towards class with Harry.
Hermione rolled her eyes smiling.
"What do you need to talk to Blaise about?" Draco asked rudely.
"I just need to talk to him Malfoy" Hermione said annoyed.
"Draco, I'll meet you in class" Blaise said dismissing him.
Draco narrowed his eyes. "You're seriously dismissing me to talk to the Mudblood" Draco spat.
"I am not looking to fight with you Draco. You know we are friends, so drop it. I'll meet you in class."
Draco glared at him before turning around and walking away.
"So, what's up?" Blaise asked.
"I wanted to apologize to you for what happened between me and Malfoy in class today."
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
"Because I know you overheard us, and I know how hard it must be for you to listen to two of your friends constantly at each others throats. I just want you to know that I don't want you to think you have to choose sides, because I won't make you. I understand that you are friends with both of us, so I won't get mad at you for not intervening."
Blaise wrapped his arm around Hermione's shoulders and the two of them headed towards their respective classrooms. "See, this is one thing I love about you. You care more about others than yourself, and you put your friends first."
"Well I don't want to lose your friendship."
"You won't" Blaise said giving her shoulders a gentle squeeze. "Now go to class before you're late."
"I'll see you at lunch!" Hermione exclaimed as she walked away and headed to class.
When she arrived, she spotted Harry and Ron, and took her usual seat in between the two.
"Everything go well?" Harry asked.
"Yep, everything went great" Hermione said smiling.
"What are you doing tonight Hermione?" Ron asked.
"Well I have to patrol once curfew starts, and after classes I am going to read over my books and write some notes."
"You're going to write notes already?" Ron asked grumpily.
"She wouldn't be our Hermione if she wasn't weeks ahead of everyone else" Harry said smiling.
"Thanks Harry" Hermione said returning his smile.
"Alright, well if you finish your notes and reading before you go patrolling, stop by the Gryffindor common room and we can all hang out for a bit?" Ron asked hopefully.
"I will."
Ron was satisfied with her answer, and Hermione turned her attention to the front of the room, as Professor McGonagall had started the lesson.
Hermione was happy that Ron had become a bit more understanding about her schoolwork. Although he did still complain that she spent too much time on it, he had stopped harassing her about it. He also hadn't brought up their sexual aspect of their relationship since their last fight, and Hermione was thankful for that too. She still hadn't slept with Ron, which she knew did bug him more than he let on, but he didn't try and push her. Hermione loved Ron, but she didn't feel the need to sleep with him in order to prove it.
Being Head Girl was now going to cut her time with Ron even more, something that he came to realize once he saw her schedule, but there was nothing that he could do about it. He was proud of her for making Head Girl, not that he was surprised, everyone knew that she was going to get it, but he did have a selfish side, and they had argued a few times over it.
"Wait, you said you're patrolling tonight. Who are you patrolling with? One of the prefects?" Ron asked suddenly.
Hermione bit her lip. She was hoping that this topic wouldn't have come up today.
"No, I'm not patrolling with the prefects."
"Are you patrolling alone? Because if you are, I will patrol with you, I am a prefect and I don't mind. Besides, I don't think it's safe for you to be patrolling by yourself."
"I'm not patrolling alone. Dumbledore has paired the Head Boy and Girl together to patrol."
"You're patrolling with Malfoy?" Ron asked too calmly.
"It's not like I had the choice, it's upon Dumbledore's orders" Hermione said softly.
"And he thinks that Malfoy and you are going to be getting along in order to do this? Is he daft? You're going to turn around a corner and the git is probably doing to stun you or something."
"Ron, Dumbledore is aware that me and Malfoy are to be patrolling together. If anything was to happen to be, he would hold Malfoy responsible. As much as I hate the guy and don't trust him, I seriously doubt he is going to try anything while we are patrolling. He's a lot smarter than that" Hermione said, trying to make sure to hide the worry in her voice as she remembered hers and Draco's last conversation and how it had ended off.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Just let me know if anything happens, I would love an excuse to wipe that stupid smirk off of his face."
"Ron's right Hermione, if he does anything you should let us know so he doesn't get away with it. We don't want anything to happen to you. Not that we underestimate your skills, we know that out of all of the students, you are probably one of the only ones who can handle him, but we don't know what he is capable of."
Hermione shivered as she remembered Draco confirming what Harry had said.
"You okay?" Harry asked, noticing her shiver.
"Yeah I'm good. Just got hit with a cold draft."
"If everyone would grab their wands, and practice the incantation that is on the board, we will then get started with Transfiguring a book into an animal of your choice. You are all in your seventh year, so I am hoping you are all mature enough to do this spell properly and safetly."
Hermione felt excitement hit her as the spell appeared on the board.
Her, along with everyone else, started practicing the pronunciation and wand movements involved in the spell.
"What animal are you going to choose?" Ron asked.
Hermione hadn't the slightest idea as to what animal she would choose. She wanted an animal that nobody else would think of or choose. "I'm not sure yet. What about you?"
"I was thinking of keeping it simple and just doing a dog. They're safe, and if I can transfigure a puppy, hopefully McGonagall will find it cute and give me some extra brownie points or something."
Hermione laughed.
"What about you Harry?"
"I was thinking of transfiguring a Zebra. A lot of people here have never even seen one before, so I think it would be a cool experience for them."
"Alright, now that you have all practiced, I am going to call out a name, and you are going to Transfigure your book into an animal of your choice in front of the entire class."
"Oh man" Neville said nervously from beside Ron. "Now I am going to embarrass myself in front of everyone."
"Don't think like that Neville, I am sure you will do just fine" Hermione said reassuringly.
"I hope so" Neville said swallowing nervously.
"Ronald Weasley" Professor McGonagall called out.
Ron stood up, and waved his wand muttering the incantation. A golden retriever puppy appeared in the place of the book, and ran around the classroom to meet anyone who would pay it attention. All of the girls sighed and awed over the puppy. When the puppy made it's way over to McGonagall, they saw a small smile etch onto her features and she bent down and scratched behind the dog's ears.
The dog rolled onto it's back, and McGonagall started giving the dog a belly rub, until it peed on her.
Ron's face went red in embarrassment and he ran over and transfigured the puppy back into a book, apologizing profusely.
McGonagall waved her wand and cleaned herself up.
"Luna Lovegood"
Luna transfigured her book into a swan.
"Hermione Granger"
Hermione stood up and waved her wand, and smiled when a chubby little penguin appeared in front of her.
"Well done Miss Granger. For those of you who do not know, the creature that Hermione transfigured is called a penguin, and is an animal from the muggle world that lives in extremely cold weather conditions. It is a type of bird that swims, but cannot fly."
McGonagall went around the rest of the room, with each student transfiguring their book into an animal successfully. Even Neville, who was nervous and stuttered on his first attempt, was able to transfigure his book into a giraffe.
"Alright class, that is all for today, I look forward to seeing you again next class."
And with that, they were dismissed and everyone headed towards the Great Hall for lunch.
