     “This is wonkers,” she whispers as she stirs the cauldron
for what feels like the thousandth time; she never thought 
she’d say it, but… she misses Snape and his lessons—
there were no ridiculous prizes to be won in Snape’s
lessons… and no one ever did better than her in
Snape’s lessons. 

                  _{“You’re tellin’ me–” the ginger haired boy mumbled to the female that stood beside him, his own hands busy with the cauldron in front of him. “Wonder if Harry’ll lemme’ borrow that book of his– I mean.. maybe it’s not fair havin’ it, but I sure as bloody hell would rather actually pass the class, even if I’m labelled as a cheater or somethin’ like it.” Not that Ron was ever the.. prize student when it came to potions… but if Hermione was having problems, then he knew there was something wrong with the curriculum.}
