Is There A Chance? (Hermione Fanfic)

Potions Class

"Who's there?" Zabini asked loudly, Hermione and Ginny flinched and moved closer to one anotehr. "You know, Granger, Weasley! It's rude to eavesdrop people while they're talking!" Zabini bellowed and opened the door which separates them.

"How do you know it's us?" Ginny asked bravely, "Hurt us, and - and - and," Ginny stammered which makes Zabini and Malfoy laugh and chuckle.

"What, Weaslette?" Zabini asked and attempt to touch Ginny's hair but Hermione moved his hand away. "Feeling strong are we, Granger?" Zabini asked and narrowed his eyes.

"We'll give you two minutes to move out from his room and-" Malfoy started but was stopped mid sentence by Ginny and Hermione.

"His room?" they both said in unison. They studied their sorroundings and realized they are in a living room and another door to the other side which maybe led to his bedroom.

"Not your business why! One word of this to anyone and you'll both regret you ever came back to Hogwarts! Out!" Zabini shouted and Hermione and Ginny hurried to go back outside.

"His room? When did a Slytherin got their very own room?" Ginny bellowed and even moved with perfect gestures. Hermione looked at her confused.

"No, I'm not busy minding if Zabini got his own room, what worries me most is what Draco said!" Hermione said an looked at Ginny. Ginny was pale and white.

"I'm pretty sure that Harry killed Voldemort last year, I don't know, it's confu-" Ginny stopped as she saw Harry and Ron approaching. "Not a word of this to the two of them, agreed?" Ginny asked, Hermione nodded and tried to compose herself.

"What happened to you?" Ron asked as they approached them, "You look pale and very white!" he continued.

Ginny laughed a ervous laugh, "This is nothing, we was just very shocked as Peeves went near our way! We thought, it's somebody else," Ginny continued and Ron laughed.

"Come on, let's go get Malfoy so that we can go to McGonagall," Harry said and grabbed Ginny. "Any news from yours this evening?" Harry asked.

"No, why? What about yours?" Ginny asked back.

"We just took fifty points to a Ravenclaw for setting a prank near the Transfigurations classroom," Ron laughed, "It's good to be prefect!" Harry joined his laugh.

"Fifty? That's too much!" Hermione joined the conversation, Ginny gave her a stern look, "Well, maybe your right in taking them, because they deserve it, right?" Hermione asked.

"Of course yes for Harry, but for me? It's good taking them points so that for sure, we'll win the house cup!" Hermione frowned and Ginny smacked her brother in the head.

"Malfoy, Professor McGonagall wanted to see us," Harry said which interrupted Ron, Ginny and Hermione. Hermione looked nervous, so did Ginny.

"Of course, Potter!" he said and walked away, he eyed Ginny and Hermione as he walked past them.

"Congratulations for making the first night of guard, you may go to your own ormitories and rest for the remaining time," Professor McGonagall said calmly. 

Everyone went out ad walk away, Malfoy went to his dormitory in the dungeons. Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione decided to stay in the garden. They sat their silently as they watched the sun rise. The sun looks like a golden apple from a branch of a very vulnerable tree. As they sat their waiting the time pass, they have their own comments about the rising sun. Hermione said that the sun was much more bigger than the worlds, obviously a fact. Ginny said that the sun looks like a goddess, it will disappear and appear every morning and night, which makes it very beautiful. As for Harry, it reminds him of a new chapter of ones life. Ron said that the sun reminds him of a new day, everyone laughed and congratulated him for saying a fact.

"I guess we have to go? Prepare for today's lessons and activities?" Hermione said and everyone nodded, on their way to their dormitory, they saw Zabini walking alone, heading for the Great Hall. 

"Heads up, Potter!" he said and smirked, Ginny and Hermione looked at each other and can't help to be nervous. They walked faster, dragging Ron and Harry.

Everything in the day looks like a blur, Ginny and Hermone can't take their mind off the thing they heard about Voldemort and Harry. They're in the mental war right now, tell Harry or not. Hermione lost her focus on class which disappoints most of her teacher. She was called three times on different subjects to take her attention back in the topic. Everything was much more different during the Potions. Hermione was not the only one called, Malfoy and Zabini was called several times too.

Zabini and Malfoy sat behind her, which did not help her to eavesdrop again, "Are you really sure about your decision, Zabini?" Malfoy asked sounding desperate.

"Yeah, I am, Malfoy!" Zabini snapped Malfoy said something that Hermione can't make up. This cause Zabini to stood up and steal the attention of everyone that sorrounds them. "You know, Malfoy! You don't want to say that!" Zabini said furiously. Malfoy shook his head and Zabini punched him straight in the nose. 

"Your on, Zabini! Maybe you're right! We're meant to be enemies!" Malfoy said and students started murmuring.

"If you want us to be friends maybe you could change yourself and stop being a coward git!" Zabini shouted which makes the students flinch.

"You know I'm not doing this for myself, Zabini!" Malfoy said back, they were throwing words against each other.

"Oh, I forgot, you never treasured our friendship! You are worried about honor! Afraid that someone will step on your ego!" Zabini bellowed which makes Malfoy turned red in anger. Zabini took out his wand, so did Malfoy.

"What's happening, in here? Zabini, Malfoy, put your wands out and sit down!" Professor Slughorn shouted. The two boys seemed to not notice anyone but theirselves. They started summoning stunning spells to one another and shouted spells that only few recognize of. They only stopped when Professor Slughorn casted a disarming spells towards one another. "I don't know who started it but you two will get-" Professor was stopped md sentence by Zabini.

"Detention, Professor? I think you don't want me to have detention if you don't want me running to the other side!" Zabini said.

"So, are you saying you're one of us?" Professor ask.

"I'm not choosing side, Professor, sorry to disappoint. I'm staying where I am now! Neutral!" Zabini shouted and picked his wand from the ground.

"Ummm, wha'ts happening?" Hermione asked suddenly, she looked at Sughorn.

"Shut it, Mudblood! Not you're freaking business!" Malfoy snapped which makes everyone to turn their heads the other way and act like nothing happened.
