A Slytherins Sister (Dramione) -Old Version.

Chapter Eight.

Hermione:
I stood waiting for potions to start, it was the second day back and already Harry and Ron have began to discuss tactics for qudditch. I couldn't help but wonder why I agreed to going to Hogsmeade with Malfoy. Maybe it was due to the fact that I thought it would make things easier, when Blaise was to tell him about us.

Soon enough the bell went and there stood Professor Slughorn, waiting for us to enter. I entered into the class room taking a seat next to Ginny. Due to the fact many people was lost, they decided to have the 7th and 8th years join classes. I was glad to have Ginny in some of my classes this year. I think I would have been stuck sat with some Slytherin that I hate and would make me, do most the work.

"I've decided that will work on making some polyjuice potion, I've already got a list of pairs here. You'll have to do your research on the potion. In your spare time. I've got a list of question for you to answer as well. You will make the potion in lesson time. This is so I can keep a close watch over you." Said Professor Slughorn.

I looked around at the people in the room. Wondering who might be my partner. I mean I guess I could deal with any of the 3 of my friends in the class. The fact that Harry and Ron, was with me in second year. When we made it then. They might remember a bit of how it's done. Knowing them, I highly doubt it. Ginny is easy to get on with, she's a quick learner as well. My brother was great at potions as well. Malfoy will be busy arguing and disagreeing to much.

"I'll read the list now. Harry and Astoria, Ginny and Draco, Hermione and Blaise. Ron and Lavender. Dean and Millicent. Please will you sit next to your partner." Said Professor Slughorn.

I decided that I'll be the one to move. I went and sat down next to Blaise, I couldn't be more happy with my partner. Poor Ginny, I know she can handle her self. So I wasn't to worried for her.

"Shall we start." Asked Blaise.

"Sure, I'll get the first ingredients that we can use to begin." I said, getting of my stool and going to gets what's needed. I then returned.

"You do the first bit and I'll do the second." I said to Blaise, who just nodded in agreement.

We then peacefully got to work. I noticed that Ginny wasn't having the time of her but she seem less annoyed then I was expecting her to be. Soon enough class was over and I was lucky to have a free period next.

"I'll speak to you later Mione." Said Blaise.

"Sure, meet me after dinner. So we can start on that research." I replied.

"Where?" He asked.

"Library, is the best place." I told him.

With that he left following Malfoy, to where it was they spent their spare time. I decided that I would go to the library.

"I'm going to the library, you guys coming?" I asked my friends.

"Sorry I can't, I promise Ginny I would spend some time with her." Said Harry.

"That seems fair." I said.

"I'll join you." Said Ron.

"Great, I'll see you two later." I said turning to look at Harry then Ginny.

"Bye." They both replied before walking off, hand in hand.

We soon arrived at the library, we both agreed that we could should start on some research, to show our partners later. Ron wasn't all to pleased with this suggestion but he agreed eventually. I went and sat down across from Ron, whose eyes were already skimming across the words. A look of confusion on his face.

"I understand none of this." He said.

"Get out your questions, it might help to know what to look for." I told him, quickly writing something down before I would forget it.

"Great idea, thanks Hermione." He replied.

Soon enough it was time for next lesson, I've only managed to do the first two question but I had long answers. Ron however was still on the first and only written about 5 lines.

"We best start heading to lesson." I said, putting my stuff away.

"Sure. I've Divination." Said Ron.

"Okay, I'll see you at dinner. Seeing as I've Ancient Runes now." I said.

He just nodded at me, then left in the opposite direction. I arrived in time to notice the only available place was next Parkinson. Great just my luck. I sighed silently in annoyance. Putting my bag under the table and sitting down.

"Hermione." Whispered Parkinson.

"Did you just call me Hermione?" I whispered back.

"It's your name right." She said just loud enough so only I could hear.

"Well yes but it's strange to hear it coming from you." I said.

"True, I just wanted to apologise for the way I treated you in the past, I know now blood isn't everything. If I could take it back I would." She said.

"I accept your apology and I'm accepting to try and get on and leave the past in the past." I replied.

"Thanks." She said.

After that we didn't say anything else to each other and just got on with the work. It was nice to know that I wouldn't have a problem with her in the dorm. I wonder if any other Slytherins now think the same as her. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. Some will still have that prejudice side, I'm certain of that.

Lesson was soon over and I decided to head lunch. I spent most the walk speaking with Pansy. Surprisingly she wasn't as bad as I thought. We entered the great hall and went over to our tables. I sat next to Ron. From their faces you would have thought they've seen a teacher naked.

"What's with your faces guys?" I asked.

"You speaking to Parkinson." Said Ron. Both Ginny and Harry nodded in agreement.

"She apologised and I thought it best to move on from the past, plus it makes sharing a room easier with her. " I replied.

"I guess your right." Said Ginny.

"I still don't like her." Said Ron.

"I know but I'm the one who needs to share a room with her. "I simply said.

They dropped the subject after that. I soon finished eating and decided I'll head to the the library to meet Blaise now. I stood up and grabbed my bag.

"Where you going?" Asked Ron.

"Library to do more the assignment." I said.

"Oh alright. See you later." Replied Ron, with that I left.

I sat down and began with the question. 5 minutes later Blaise arrived. Who sat at the table across from me. I looked up to smile at my brother. I tried to hold in a laugh. He looked ridiculous with his hair.

"So what have people been saying about the change in hair and house?" I asked.

"Most think I'm mad. They say I've finally cracked." He says with a slight chuckle.

"Well you surely do look like you've cracked." I said, giving him a smile.

"Shush! I blame you." He said.

"Ouch my feelings." I replied pretending to sound hurt.

"Should we get on then." Said Blaise.

I just nodded. We soon agreed that we've done enough work for now and that will finish it another time. With that we both made our way back to the common room. Laughing ever so often at what the other person said. The day went pass rather quickly and it was soon time to go to bed. I noticed I was the last in the common room. I put my stuff away and sleepily made my way to bed.
