Hey guys :) I've done a super mad uploading spree today and this is another addition to that :) This story is one of my favs and I hope u like it :) I quite like the new take on Hermione in the laters chapters I'm writing and I really hope you'll like her too :) Let me know what you think I always love reading your reviews and changing the story around them :) VaM xx
She was a disgusting, lowlife, stupid, bitchy, filthy mudblood who didn't deserve to walk the same halls as him but it drove him mental that he couldn't take his eyes off her. He hated how she was all he thought about, it drove to him to brink of insanity that every time she walked into the room all he could do was stare at her as his heart pounded against his chest.
Draco frowned and risked a glance over at Hermione closing his eyes as he saw her smile at something Ron had said. Jerk.
He was a pompous, stuck up, know-it-all, pureblooded, arrogant ferret who didn't even have the right to be at this school and she hated how she wanted to see him every single day. She couldn't stand that he was the only thing she really cared about. She despised that every time he walked into the same room as her, her breathing sped up and she felt her heart melt at the sight of him.
Hermione scowled and slumped further in her seat as this accrued to her. She looked over at the blonde Slytherin only to growl and look away as Pansy fawned over him. Bimbo.
She tried to tune into what Professor Flitwick was saying but found it virtually impossible. Draco Malfoy wouldn't leave her head and Harry and Ron hadn't shut up about the stupid Gryffindor vs Slytherin Quidditch match tomorrow.
"Do you think we'll win?" Ron whispered as he lent forwards to talk to Harry who was sat on Hermione's other side.
"Of course mate! We can beat Slytherin!" Harry whispered practically leaning over Hermione to talk to Ron.
"What about Draco?" Ron whispered again mentioning the one person who was better than Harry at Quidditch.
"I can beat Draco, he's a dewb" Harry chuckled, Hermione's eyes hardened at this and she lost her temper.
"Will you two shut the fuck up!" She shouted shoving them both back into her seats. The whole class fell silent as the normally quiet and perfectly attentive bookworm swore. "Nobody gives a damn what you think about Quidditch! Just because someone's better than you at it does not mean you get to blabber on for a whole hour! Will you please shut up so I can hear something other than your damned voices!" She fumed before flopping back into her seat and turning her eyes back to Flitwick. "Sorry Professor you can continue" She smiled and the whole class gapped at her as the small man spluttered before continuing.
Harry and Ron stared at her with open mouths until she arched an eyebrow and they quickly turned to face the front.
Draco watched with a grin on his face, Hermione had guts and she was bloody hilarious! Grinning he looked over at Blaise who was in a bout of silent laughter which only widened his grin.
Hermione smiled despite herself and continued to fantasise about Draco Malfoy in peace.
Hermione walked into the hall only to see banners literally everywhere. 'GO GRYFFINDOR!' 'SLAUGHTER THEM SLYTHERNIN!' 'CATCH THE SNITCH HARRY' 'DESTROY HIM MALFOY' littered the walls she rolled her eyes and made her way over to the Gryffindor table.
"Morning Mione!" Ginny greeted enthusiastically as she bounced on her seat.
"Hey Ginny, good luck for today" The pretty brunette smiled and Ginny squealed in excitement.
"I can't wait!" She shouted and Hermione recoiled slightly before sitting down and grabbing a slice of toast.
"Mione!" Harry cheered fighting his way through the flocks of people all cheering him on and greeting her with a huge grin.
"Hi Harry, hope you play well" She nodded finishing her toast as Ron dropped into his seat grinning widely.
"This is amazing! It's like being famous!" He grinned and Hermione rolled her eyes as she got to her feet.
"I'll see you at the match!" She called as she walked over to the door. She risked a glance over at the Slytherin table only to see a similar thing to the Gryffindor table. She rolled her eyes, Malfoy would love this.
Finally she walked out the Great Hall and pulled her bright red coat tighter around her. Sighing she decided to go for a walk.
She shivered as the cool morning air bit against her face but let her feet lead her around the grounds anyway. Soon enough she found herself standing in front of the black lake her arms folded over her chest. She frowned as she saw something by the Quidditch pitch. Walking around the lake she made her way over until she saw a shock of platinum blonde hair.
Draco Malfoy was lying on his back in the middle of the pitch. She frowned even more; surely Malfoy would be in the great hall soaking up all the attention. Taking a risk she walked across the gravel until she reached him. His eyes were closed and he looked, to her at least, like a Greek god. His perfectly sculpted cheek bones, gorgeous plump lips and dark eyelashes called out to Hermione.
Sighing she closed her eyes and tilted her head back just soaking in the atmosphere around her.
"Granger?" Malfoy's voice asked and her eyes snapped open her head shooting to look at him.
"Malfoy! I... I... I'm sorry I was just..." She trailed off unable to come up with an excuse to explain what she was doing. Draco let out a sigh and got to his feet. "I'll... I'll just go." She hurried.
"It's alright Granger." He announced picking up his broom that had been resting next to him as Hermione froze. "You're presence relaxes me." He told her without meeting her eyes. Hermione blushed and hid her smile from him.
"What are you doing out here?" She asked after a moment and he simply shrugged.
"I've had enough of everyone making this match out to be some massive event; it's just a Quidditch game." He admitted and she let a small smile grace her lips, this time letting him see it.
"Me too." She whispered and he sighed mounting his broom.
"I'll be back in a moment I'm just gunna fly a couple of laps." He told her before zooming off. Hermione stood and watched him letting her imagination take over...
She was stood in the grounds of Malfoy Manner, in the middle of their Quidditch pitch. Draco was circling above her.
"You want a ride luv?" He shouted down to her and she let out a giggle.
"Don't be silly!" She called back as he laughed and swopped low to the ground before pulling back up into the air.
She watched as her life swopped in the sky and didn't think she could be happier. Looking down she saw the ring on her finger and smiled closing her eyes.
Malfoy gently touched down next to her and couldn't help but smile at her own smile.
"What are you thinking?" He whispered hoping to catch her in the middle of her daydream. The sound of his voice seemed to make her smile even more before her eyes wondered over to him and widened dramatically.
"Oh!" She jumped a good foot in the air making him laugh.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He apologised and Hermione stared wide eyed at him "What?" He frowned getting uncomfortable.
"You said sorry to me." She whispered and he shrugged propping up his broom and stretching out his muscles. She let a soft smile settle on her face as she watched him, he caught her eyes and smiled back taking a step forwards. She was drawn to him and followed his lead stepping forwards too.
Suddenly there was an almighty cheer and they both spun around to see the whole school pouring out the doors of Hogwarts and making their way towards the pitch. Neither Hermione nor Draco had moved but when they turned back to look at each other they blinked and hurriedly backed away.
"I'm gunna er... go get ready" He hurried and she nodded still backing away. Just as he was about to disappear into the changing rooms Hermione called out his name.
"MALFOY!" He spun to face her his broom in hand and an eyebrow raised. "GOOD LUCK!" She smiled and he grinned at her before walking inside.
Hermione took up her seat next to Neville smiling at him as she did so.
"Harry and Ron are so gunna win!" The boy cheered and Hermione nodded absently. Within seconds the game had started and Hermione found her eyes glued to the blonde haired boy in green. Frowning she shook her head and looked over at Ron who was manning the goals a little shakily. Hermione looked around the rest of the pitch and smiled at her friends.
Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper as Beaters, Ginny as a Chaser and Ron as Keeper. Harry was of course Seeker, Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson were the other two Chaser's making up the Gryffindor team.
Hermione then turned her attention over to the team in green and felt herself smile. Draco held a much stronger captain stance than Harry, even as he looked for the snitch he still watched his players. Draco was of course the Seeker and the only person in history to catch the Snitch before Harry. Crabbe and Goyle were the teams Beaters and known for their cruelty. Miles Bletchley was Keeper and was a lot straighter on his broom than Ron. The teams Chaser's were made up of Pucey, Vaisey and Warrington.
She watched as Ginny snatched the Quaffle from Pucey's grasp and spun around soaring off in the other direction. Hermione clapped madly for her friend pleased that Ginny was doing well. She was also quite relieved that Ron didn't have to defend goal as he looked like he was about to puke.
Draco raised an eyebrow as the red head girl shot off towards the Slytherin goal, she was good.
"Vaisey! Warrington! From the right and hang behind Goyle!" Draco called out and his Chasers instantly pulled back dropping behind the Beater. Ginny spun around and threw the Quaffle through the left hop letting out a woop as it flew through.
Just as she Angelina was about to grab the Quaffle Warrington dropped out from behind Goyle and snatched it out the air.
Andrew and Jack growled at this their temper getting the better of them. Draco continued to issue instructions to his team all the time watching Harry and scanning the area.
"Jack!" Andrew called out and waved his bat; Jack winked and took off to the other side of the pitch. Hermione watched along with everyone else trying to work out what the Gryffindor beaters were planning.
Suddenly a bludger was launched at Andrew who swung at it hard sending it sailing to Jack who smacked it even harder. Hermione's eyes widened horrifically as she worked out the bludgers path. They'd sent it sailing straight towards Draco and he was oblivious as it was coming at him from behind.
She let out a shriek before leaning forwards.
"MALFOY! LOOK OUT!" She screamed and the blonde spun around just in time to swing to the side the bludger missing him by a mere centimetre.
Hermione sighed in relief leaning back once again only to realise that EVERYONE was looking at her. She frowned then shrugged her shoulders.
"That was a foul move and I will not be associated with that kind of behaviour!" She announced folding her arms adamantly.
Draco stared at her for a long moment his liquid silver eyes boring into her chocolate brown ones. She felt the blush crept into her cheeks and she let a little smile settle on her lips.
That was when he saw it, the little flutter of gold right next to her ear he grinned wide and shot forwards. Her eyes widened dramatically as he came towards her and she let out a little yelp. His hand shot out and stopped just next to her head. His face was inches from hers making her breath quicken and her cheeks flush.
He brought his hand to just in front of her face and opened his fingers. She gasped as she saw the small gold snitch resting neatly in the middle of his palm. At first she just blinked then a smile tugged at her lips and she beamed up at him making him laugh and sore into the air the snitch held above his head.
"DRACO MALFOY HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH! UN-BLOODY-LIEVABLE! SLYTHERIN HAVE ONE THE MATCH!" The unbelieving commentator's voice called out over the loud speakers. Harry froze and spun to look up at the grinning Slytherin.
"Fuck!" He swore loudly.
Ginny held the Quaffle above her head about to launch it through the middle goal then sighed as she saw Draco.
"Bloody hell" She muttered tucking the Quaffle under her arm with a defeated sigh. Ron was reeling off a stream of profanities unlike anything Hermione had ever heard and Andrew and Jack looked very pissed.
The Slytherin's stared cheering and Hermione couldn't help but grin, she looked around at the disappointed people around her and tried to look sombre. She did feel bad that all Ginny's efforts had gone to waste.
Hope the first chapter didn't disappoint too mcuh :P I'm working on the next chapter now and I really like some of the characters in it :) I hope you will :) VaM xx
