Monday
Monday morning Hermione's day started all wrong. When she woke and checked her watch, she thought she had an extra 45 minutes to sleep. But when she came to the common room, everyone was already gone and the wall clock said it was already 7:30. She adjusted her watch as she rushed to the great hall to find Ron, Lavendar, Ginny and Harry all sitting together. She scooted in next to Ginny and shot her friend an appraising look. "How are you feeling?"
Ginny smiled. "Worlds better. Thanks for helping me, Hermione." Ginny smiled warmly at her friend.
Hermione smiled back and asked, "Are you gonna tell Harry?"
Ginny replied she hadn't decided. Hermione felt a strange pull again and turned to see Malfoy and Blaise looking at her, or at least her direction. She wondered how Malfoy would act towards her in potions today. Monday's potions was a three hour Slytherin and Gryffindor class.
Hermione wasn't particularly hungry and was ready to leave with her friends even though she hadn't eaten. When they stood up, Harry came around to Hermione's side and put an arm around her as they walked out. He whispered in her ear. "Thanks for talking to Ginny. Things are fine between us and I know you are a big reason."
Hermione smiled warmly at him and ruffled his hair. "Sure, Harry..what are friends for.." Hermione didn't notice the set of angry grey eyes that watched her leave.
As they were headed up the staircase to the Griffandor common room, Hermione pulled Lavendar aside. She spoke very low and quietly so the others wouldn't hear, "Hey Lavendar, I was wondering, have you had any issues with laundry disappearing? Particularly undergarments?"
Lavendar shot her a confused look. "Missing under garments?"
Hermione looked around to make sure no one was listening. "I know it sounds strange, but... oh, never mind. They're probably in my trunk. Forget I said anything."
Just then Ron bounded up between them. "How are my two favorite witches today?" Hermione smiled at him distractedly. Clearly, judging by Lavendar's reaction, Lavendar was not experiencing the vanishing underwear problem. She would have to ask Pavarti and Ginny later.
When she arrived in potions a minute or so early, Draco and Blaise were at Professor Snape's desk talking to him. She headed for her seat a little self conscious as she could feel the three wizards watching her. The rest of the class started to assemble and soon Professor Snape was calling the class to order. "Quiet down, quiet down." He didn't have to yell for his voice to be heard. "We will be starting new semester long projects today that will account for 50% of your grade. I have assigned partners so please rearrange yourselves accordingly. He started reading out names in groups of three. Harry was paired up with Neville and Pansy Parkinson and Ron was paired up with Theo Nott and Daphne Greengrass. She heard her name next. "Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini."
The classroom was bustling as everyone rearranged their seating. There were groans of disappointment about the groupings as well. Blaise and Draco were already sitting at a table in the back corner of the classroom and when Theo Nott vacated the seat between them, she walked over. "Draco, Blaise," She said their names in greeting as she sat down. They looked at her and then smirked at each other. Draco replied, "Granger", with a slight nod.
Professor Snape then walked around, handing each grouping a parchment. When he got to their table, the parchment he handed them said, in his spikey black inked script, 'Continue working on your extracurricular potion". Hermione was thrilled. Now they could work on the potion during class and they would have more time. She was also pleased that Professor Snape was aware of her involvement.
"As you can see, your assignments will take the rest of the semester to work on. You will work on these during Monday's three hour lab each week and you may work on them outside of class time. Your Wednesday theory lesson will continue to be lecture material and no brewing will occur."
Severus watched Hermione's reaction as he grouped her with Draco and Blaise and gave them their assignment. He had contemplated the prior nights discussion with Draco and had determined that if Hermione did become suspicious of anything, she would immediately go to a teacher. He needed that teacher to be himself. It then begged to reason that if her grade depended on said potion/project, she would immediately come to him with any concerns. While he felt Draco was competent enough to pull off this scheme, he couldn't risk it. He would have to keep an eye on the situation. He had informed Draco before class about the new projects and had said it was to help Draco successfully invent and develop said potion. He also said it was to assist Draco get guaranteed time with his new toy. That was all true, but the real reason was to be able to intervene if needed. He really did indulge his Godson entirely too much, but he was impressed with the lust potion Draco had developed. Yes, he had helped, but it was really Draco's potion and Snape was proud of his Godson.
Draco leaned a little into Hermione pretending to be taking an interest in something she was reading in their potions lab textbook, but really he was enjoying a little peak down her blouse at the swell of her breasts, as well as her delicious scent that brought back even more delicious memory's. It was floral but not too sweet. He felt himself getting aroused just sitting next to her. This new seating arrangement suited Draco very well as he really didn't like his witch sitting with other wizards, particularly Potter and Weasley. She was entirely too touchy with them and he would definitely have to do something about that.
"So, Granger. You sure you can't meet tonight? Now that we are getting graded on this potion, I really think it should take priority."
Hermione shrugged, "I have prefect's rounds tonight and I have my History of Magic paper as well as the arthmancy test to study for." She continued flipping through the text and taking notes and writing down ingredients. "I'll probably have time tomorrow, if that works."
"I guess it'll have to." Draco responded. His mind trying to find a way to see her tonight.
Blaise was writing ingredients on a list and said, "So, I heard they're requiring prefects to patrol in pairs now. It must be frustrating because it takes longer to cover the castle." He was trying to sound like he was just making conversation, when really he was just checking to see if what Ginny had told him was true.
Hermione responded, "well, normally I would be irritated by it, but since Ginny made prefect this year, she and I patrol together, so it's actually fun." She looked over her list and Blaise's. "So, you guys have already attempted brewing this a couple times, which ingredients should we start with this time?"
Draco took the lists and circled a handful of ingredients. When he was finished she picked it up. "I'll go grab these." She took the list and headed for the closet. Draco watched her as she walked away.
Blaise looked at Draco as a mischievous grin came across his face. "So, Ginny and Hermione will be together... patrolling...just the two of them."
Draco couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. "Looks like our night just got a lot more interesting."
They started chopping and brewing and before they knew it, class was over. They placed a stasis charm over their potion and as Hermione was packing her bag she asked, "should we keep brewing in both locations? The Room of Requirement lab is really convenient, and it would be beneficial to be able to brew more than one attempt at a time. But, will it be too much to keep up with?"
Blaise and Draco exchanged looks. Draco responded,"I think we should definitely keep both going, between the three of us, we can manage." Just as Hermione was about to walk away, Draco stopped her as he shot Blaise a glance. "Hermione, how about you just swing by the other lab during your rounds tonight. Blaise and I will be up there working on it and that way we can keep you in the loop and get your quick input. I mean if you want to."
Hermione thought for a minute. This was now part of her grade and it would be easy just to pop in and check on things. "I can do that. We should be walking by that area around 9:30 or so."
"K, see you then." Draco responded as he finished gathering his things.
Draco watched with frustration as he saw Potter and Weasley waiting for his witch to join them. But, then an idea hit. A brilliant one. Suddenly he was quite sure that Potter and Weasley would be out of the picture soon enough.
As Hermione and Ginny started their rounds at 9pm exactly, the Slytherin duo were getting prepared. They had contemplated a little witch on witch fun, but decided against it, at least for tonight. That would require a little more preparation. Both wizards had their potions in their flasks, ready to go.
Hermione and Ginny laughed and talked as they made their way through the castle. Hermione had told Ginny about the brief detour she needed to take and Ginny was fine with it. Ginny was curious about Blaise Zabini. She didn't know him very well, but she had been playing against him on the quidditch pitch for years and she had consistently beaten him. She saw the occasional look of hate in his eyes after those matches. He ignored her other than on the quidditch pitch, although she had caught him staring at her a couple times the past couple days. It would be interesting to see if he spoke to her tonight.
As they rounded the hall to the wall that held the hidden door, the door suddenly materialized and Blaise appeared. He smiled a friendly hello and gestured for the girls to come in.
