-After Class-
"No wonder nobody can stand her." Ron fumed, not realising Petunia and Hermione were standing behind him. "She's a nightmare honestly!"
Petunia was about to chew Ron out when Hermione went running away, pushing Harry out of the way.
"Good going Ron." Growled Petunia, slapping him upside the head before running off after Hermione. Petunia shouted after Hermione but she wouldn't slow down or talk to Petunia until she was locked in a cubicle in the first floor bathroom.
"Hermione, come on. Please talk to me." Petunia begged, leaning on the door to Hermione's stall.
"No." She whimpered.
"Come on, would you feel better if I got D.C?"
"No."
"If I beat up Ron would that make you feel better?"
There was a pause. "No?" Hermione's answer sounded a lot more like a question.
"What about I get the twins to prank him? You could even help with the planning since he was such a git to you."
A longer pause. "Okay, maybe that would make me feel better." Petunia grinned in victory. They spent the next few hours discussing how they were going to prank Ron. Only once were they interupted by Patil who wanted in on the prank, especially after she found out why Hermione was crying. After agreeing she and anybody else that wanted in could help, Patil left them.
"Alright, I-I think I'm ready to leave now." Hermione said, voice still shaky. Petunia smiled kindly as Hermione opened the door, noticing how puffy and bloodshot her eyes were.
"Here, lets clean you up a bit first." Petunia suggested, leading her to the sink. As Petunia started to dot at Hermione's eyes with a damp paper towel a horrible stench entered the room.
"What is that?" Asked Petunia, scrunching up her nose. Hermione's face went pale as she stared over Petunia's shoulder, a small whimper escaping her lips. Petunia didn't get time to look behind her before Hermione screamed and something hard hit her in the side of the head.
