a/n: this is for a challenge. It is very challenging for me 'cause my whole family finds the Draco/Hermione pairing ewy. So enjoy this 'cause it probably won't happen again.
Summary: During the 5th year of Hogwarts, Hermione is forced to come home and continue her education in the Muggle world as a normal student due to some family problems. Her friends from Hogwarts miss her and want to know what happened to her. They make a lottery to decide who will go to the Muggle world and check on her secretively.
I was going to make Potter's day horrible before he could even see the castle. That was my goal as I opened the train compartment he was in, but I could tell that someone had already beaten me to the job as I walked in on him & Ron yelling at each other, with the weirdo Ravenclaw & the girl Weasly watching. I smirked until I realized that the Granger girl wasn't putting her two sense in, trying to shut them up. "Dung bats shut up. You don't want to be fighting when Granger comes back do you? Want to look like perfect little gentlemen." The words turned to vinegar on my tongue, knowing that I wanted her to see me as a gentleman as well.
"You really are behind this year Malfoy. Hermione isn't here this year. We don't know where she is."
"She finally get tired of being with you losers?" I had forgotten that Pansy was behind me again. I rolled my eyes because as much as I don't like Potter & Weasly, Pansy is worse.
Then the Ravenclaw weirdo looked up & said, "Hello Draco." She really freaks me out, she's just too passive about everything & her blue eyes seem to see everything. I know Blaise likes that about her, but I hate it. I feel she knows I like Granger. She looked away, blushing, before I could respond. Confused I looked over my shoulder to find Blaise watching her. I rolled my eyes again before turning back to ask, "So does the school know that Granger doesn't seem to be going to school this year?"
"We'll know as soon as we go to the prefects meeting," Weasly said. "If there is another girl as prefect then they do, if there isn't then they don't."
"Wisely put Weasly." & with that I walked away to the prefects compartment, having forgotten that I had wanted to provoke Potter into loosing points.
