The Law of Magic

Chapter 17

🦁Hermione's POV🦁

It was already 10:40 am when I finished reading my book. I had 20 minutes to walk to my next class which is Advanced Potions with Professor Slughorn.

While I was walking I began to think, Like I always do. What will occur with this new law? I mean will it start a good relationship, A real one?

I never really thought I'll need to have children right away and be married as soon as possible, and alas! To my childhood bully.

Yes, I've forgiven him. But marriage is another different thing. Yes, I answered his attributes in the test for compatibility because I wanted to try out a relationship with him.

But marriage? I don't know.

Did I really think this through when I answered his attributes? But people always say to never regret anything that makes who you are now.

I wouldn't be the Hermione Granger I am now if I didn't use my bravery to try to save him and be with him.

A few minutes later, I finally reached the Dungeons and went inside my classroom.

Almost everyone was there for I arrived at 10:50 am. 10 minutes before class.

I took out my Potions Book and read our next possible discussion. I've always wanted to get ahead of my classes. Probably since 3rd year or may be since kindergarten.

18 minutes later, Professor Slughorn finally arrived. Took him long enough. He's 8 minutes late.

"Good Morning Students! Today we will discuss a potion called, the Draught of Peace. I'm sure some of you or all of you have heard it," He said.

Then he wrote the words "Draught of Peace" in the chalkboard. We actually have learned this last fifth year. This is more like a review. We have to remember everything for our Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests (NEWTS).

"What is the purpose of Draught of Peace?" Our professor asked.

I raised my hand and so did Draco. Professor Slughorn seemed happy that I wasn't the only one that raised a hand to answer.

"Yes, Mr.Malfoy?" asked Professor Slughorn.
Does he always have to smile? Like really?

"The Draught of Peace is a potion which relieves anxiety and agitation. It should be a turquoise blue color when finished and simmered before being consumed," replied Draco to Professor Slughorn. He knows his way to Potions, huh?

"Correct Mr. Malfoy! 5 points to Slytherin!" Our Potions teacher rewarded Draco. Then Draco sat down again to his chair.

"Today all of you will be brewing this potion with a partner that I have chosen for you," Professor Slughorn spoke once again.

He is still so happy I couldn't believe it. How is he a Slytherin? He's too giddy, happy, and smiling.

As he finished writing the partners. I looked for my name only to find that my partner was Cormac McLaggen.

Ugh! I'm gonna die!

I walked towards the cauldrons and prepared it. Then, I looked at what ingredients that I have to get in my book to make the potion.

I was going to get the ingredients in the cupboard when Cormac appeared and said.

"Good Morning Granger." He was smirking while doing so. You've got to be kidding me!

I smiled awkwardly in return.

I looked around to see who else was paired with who. Harry was paired with Seamus, Good Luck to him! Ron with Zabini which I thought wasn't that bad. And Finally, I spotted Parkinson paired with Draco. Bloody Hell! She's lucky! He's rumored to be great at Potions.

But is he really good at Potions? Or it was all Professor Snape?

I groaned and went to the cupboard. Grabbing all the ingredients while mumbling incoherent stuff. Merlin have cursed me today! Ugh!

I read the instructions in my book and began making the potion. After I have kept adding the unicorn horns into the potion it finally turned to color pink. Onwards, I followed everything else I had to do base on the instructions and until all was left to do was wait for the potion to be finish.

But to be honest, this was just the worst!

Cormac is honestly the worst Potions partner I ever had. He doesn't even help me and just sits there doing nothing but looking at a mirror.

I can see his future like Gilderoy Lockhart. Soon he'll be in St. Mungos without ever possibly remembering all that has happened in his life.

Later on, I heard little noises in the south side of the room so I looked over there.

Oh this day could be bloody more worst!

Parkinson was hanging on Draco's arms like she was his girlfriend!

Wait am I jealous?! No! Impossible!

A few more minutes later and finally the potion was finished and I transferred it in a vile.

"Professor Cormac and I are done now, Can we go now?" I asked my Professor who was inspecting the potion inside the vile.

"Very Well! Miss Granger!" He replied while smiling creepily. Sometimes he really creeps me out. I have to get out of here.

As soon as I went out, Draco and Parkinson went out as well. Parkinson was still hanging onto Draco's arms like her life itself depended on Draco!

And to make it worst Cormac stepped out of the room as well and it horribly pissed me off. Merlin help me have patience, Please!

He came near and told me.

"Hello Hermione." He was smirking seductively. Super Weird!

Blimey!

I told him. "Not now! If you value your life. Get lost!" Merlin certainly did not help me to have patience.

Just then Harry, Ron, Blaise, and Seamus appeared next to us.

"Easy, Hermione. You don't want to end up in Azkaban, Do you?" Harry said trying to calm me down. He was rubbing his hand on my back.

Grrr! Ugh!

"I'd rather go to Azkaban than continue living with this retched day!" I replied to him.

He seemed shock at how upset I was and was lost for words. I was never this mad at Cormac. I did not like him but I don't hate him. I used to not hate him. But now, I do! Very much too!

I was leaving when Parkinson and Draco appeared. They we're still in their lovey-dovey looking position.

Draco asked, "Woah! What got you upset?"

I looked at his arm which was entangled with Parkinson's and told him, "Get lost Malfoy!"

What is wrong with me?

I turned away from him when Blaise asked me. "Hey, Are you jealous of Draco And Pansy?"

Unbelievable! He was laughing so I sneered at him. I needed to calm down so I did and told him. "No, Why would I be? I'm just pissed off because I had the worst Potions partner I had ever had the pleasure encountering in my whole entire life!"

So I lied but part of it was also true. I looked onto Cormac, sneered at him, and left. I have time for their ratting.
