Lily's Secret

Snape's head snapped

Blaise walked in to see Hermione sitting in the window seat talking to Theodore, he approached cautiously to see her looking pissed off and hardly moving her eyes from the lake outside.

"Hey, everything good?" 

Theo looked at him, got up and dragged him away to a corner, "Blaise, all I know is that she went to talk her dad and came back looking like that!"

"Maybe just give her space for a bit?" Blaise replied.

"You're kidding, I know what she needs and so do you." 

Blaise groaned. She needed to talk to Draco, but he hadn't been exactly sensitive lately. It was worth a shot. He looked at Theo. "Fine, but it might not work, you know he's been off lately."

The two walked outside to find Draco sitting by the lake with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Draco!" Theo called, "Come here!" Draco rolled his eyes and walked over.

"Hermione's, upset, I think you should go talk to her." 

Draco just sneered, "Why should I talk to her? She's 11 now, she can look after herself. Look, she's my best friend, but we've grown apart, I doubt she even wants to talk to me. Besides, she's just annoying anyway" He turned around and walked to sit down with Crabbe and Goyle.

Theo growled, "I'll show him who's annoying." 

Blaise heard a sob, he turned around to see Hermione walking up to the castle. Shit.

Harry sat in potions whilst looking around, there seemed to be a distinct lack of Slytherins. Professor Snape seemed to have noticed it too. He thought about the Slytherins, there was Malfoy, he was a Prick, Nott, he seemed nice enough, there was Zabini, he seemed a bit off with him.

There was Crabbe and Goyle who both looked like complete dunderheads. And then Parkinson, she seemed to think that she is a relationship with Malfoy, which as far as he knew, wasn't true.

Then there was Snape, she reminded him of something, but he couldn't put his finger on, she was kind of cute in a way.

"Mr P-Potter" Snape stumbled over his name, but recovered quickly. "Why do you think it's acceptable to daydream during my lesson?"

"Sorry sir," Harry said, quickly, snapped out of his daydream.

"Detention Potter." Snape sneered. Harry sighed and glanced at Malfoy, who seemed to be the only Slytherin in the room. He would normally be smirking, but he looked stressed. Harry frowned and then shook his head, he didn't care about Malfoy. Malfoy turned and Harry say a bruise on his eye.

The lesson ended and Harry got out of there as soon as he could. The atmosphere was so tense in there. He had detention with Snape at 6 before dinner. 

Draco stumbled out of potions barely aware of his surroundings. He got away from the classroom as soon as he could. He didn't really mean the stuff he said about Hermione, he just had to distance himself from her. He sighed, it didn't help that he had a run in with Blaise after he had said that. 

He knew that he missed Hermione. He knew she was upset, but he also knew that she heard what he said, so if she was upset that would have made it ten times worse if she was missing him like he was missing her. 

He decided to go find her to apologize. He couldn't see her anywhere. He thought about where he always found her before when they argued.

The owlery! She loved the owls.

He ran up there and looked around. He frowned just as a bird poo landed on his head.

"Ahrgh! My hair!" He yelled and heard a giggle from a corner. He turned to see Hermione sitting there, with a piece of parchment, she looked very pretty.

"Hermione, I-" Draco started but saw her not paying attention and she started talking to someone, he turned the corner to see twins sitting there making her laugh, she turned to look at him and her expression darkened.

"Go away Malfoy, I don't want to talk to you." She said coldly. 

"Hermione, can I just-"

"She said no, get lost" One of the twins said loudly.

"No it's fine, we can go, hang on I need to send this," Hermione said and quickly attached a letter to an owl, Draco saw it was addressed to someone called Nicholas Flamel. She then quickly left, one of the twins glared at him, he didn't know which one, he couldn't tell the difference between the brats.

Hermione sat in the courtyard with Fred and George, she had met them recently on the train and had been talking to them ever since.

"You should go talk to him, you were angry, he was angry, you need to talk with him," Fred said softly.

"Yes, alright, I'll do that." She got up and went to the potions room,"I'll tell you how it goes," She called back.

Harry sat in detention, he was scrubbing cauldrons, he looked up to his professor and saw a tear slide down his face. 

"Professor? Are you ok?" Harry said softly.

Snapes head snapped up to look at him, "Potter, I-"

The door suddenly banged open and Snape's eyes filled with horror.

Hey chickens,

It's been a while but I am determined to get this finished, I'm meant to be doing my art but hey, we're great at procrastinating. 

Go check out @emmathemarauder she's a really good friend of mine and she's writing an amazing book about the generation after the marauders and before the golden trio, if she gets enough views I'll write her a snarry cross snamione.
