Hermione sat at her desk, scribbling down notes from the book she was looking through. The textbook contained a lot of information and she happened to have read it for the third time since the school year had started. The teacher came in as the girls and boys hurried to their seats, cacophony still in the air. "Now, when class finished yesterday, what were we talking about?"

The small girls hand reached up, causing quite a few of her fellow students to mutter about the fact that Granger was such a show off. Behind her, a girl with long black hair leaned over, removing something sticky from her mouth, then pressed the messy mass into the curly locks. She then leaned back, just as the teacher called upon Hermione.

The smart female opened her mouth to speak, only to find herself interrupted by another student. "Teacher!"

"It is not your turn to speak. If you wished to answer then you should have raised your hand," the teacher stated firmly.

"Granger has gum in her hair though!" The student protested despite the fact the teacher glared at them.

"What?" The teacher hurried over, her eyes rather wide as Hermione's cheeks turned red. She then glanced at the other students. "Stay put! I'll be right back!" At that, she grabbed Granger's arm and led her off towards the nurses office. "I have a student with gum in their hair."

At that, the nurse walked over, then shook her head. "I don't see the gum."

"I hope it didn't get buried in there! With this kind of hair, that is bad!"

The next thing Granger knew, both adults were trying to find the gum. It was quite some time before they decided that nothing was in fact there.
