Granger Danger

Fifteen

First day of class was in the green house. Hailey stood beside her sister as everyone was talking. Harry noticed how Hailey was looking down at her plant like she wasn't looking forward to class. "Hailey?"

Hailey looked up at Harry. "Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." She tells him as he grabbed her hand causing her to smile.

Neither of them noticed the professor walk in as they all were talking. "Good morning, everyone." When no one acknowledge her appearance, she hit the table causing them all to go silent and look at her. "Good morning, everyone."

"Good morning, Professor Sprout."

Welcome to Greenhouse Three, second years. Gather around everyone." She tells them as they got closer to the table. "Today we're going to re-pot Mandrakes." Sprout grabs a pot and sits it on the table. "Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root?" Hailey and Hermione raised their hands hoping one of them would be called on. "Ms. Hailey Granger.

Hermione looked at her sister with a glare. "Mandrake, or Mandragora is used to return those who have been petrified to their original state." Hailey answers as everyone listened. "It's also dangerous. The Mandrake's cry is fatal to anyone who hears it."

"Excellent. Ten points to Gryffindor." Hailey smiled as the other Gryffindors looked at her. "As ouf Mandrakes are still only seedlings their cries won't kill you yet." Sprout tells them. "But they could knock you out for several hours, which is why I have given you earmuffs for auditory protetion. So could you please put them on, right away? Quickly."

Hailey followed the instructions that were given. She wrapped her hand around the stem of the plant and followed suit with Sprout. She pulled the Mandrake out just as the others and quickly put the Mandrake in the new pot. She sprinkled dirt on it and sighed in relief. She watched Neville faint causing Hailey to look at Harry.

"When are you going to tell Harry?"

"Hermione, we're only 12."

"Have you not seen the way he looks at you?" Hermione asked her. "I see the way the two of you look at one another. The feelings is not one sided."

Hailey looked at Harry as he spoke to Ron. She was starting to like Harry more then a friend. "I'm scared." Was all she said as Ron's bird made a crash landing on the table.

Everyone looked at Ron as he was afraid of what the bird brought him. A howler. "I think I'm scared to know what this howler is about to do."

"Same."

The sisters watched as the letter open itself and started talking. Ron was in deep trouble for the car. No one said a word or laughed. Hailey looked at Harry as she had no words to say to Ron. She was slightly terrified of Molly now.
