Hope you guys like it!
I'm gonna shut up in 3,2,1…
GO!
She groaned as she stared at the mirror. She forced a smile upon herself, hoping that the day would be fine.
She got her bag and breathed deeply and went out of the Gryffindor common room. Many students passed by, making their way to the Great Hall. As she sat down, there was no sign of Harry or Ron.
"Quidditch." She concluded.
It only took a few minutes for Hermione to finish her breakfast. Everyone took their time, mingling with each other, their books lying there, not even being read. Hermione sighed with disgust. Thirty minutes till 9 o clock, and she took one last look at her timetable.
"Transfiguration. Arithmancy. Break. Double Defense Against the Dark Arts…" she muttered to herself.
The classes were a bore, even to her. Each lesson started with a recap of what they did the previous day, which usually took almost three fourths of the time. Transfiguration exercises were normal, and as usual Hermione aced with flying colors, literally!
Arithmancy wasn't bad at all, except for the fact that half of the students last year who took the subject decided to abandon it. The fact made Hermione give her usual sigh.
"They don't know what they're missing." She muttered again.
Hermione went out of the Arithmancy room for their break. She walked and walked through busy witches and wizards of all ages, and bumped a few too, as she read her D.A.D.A. textbook. She planted herself down and read some more.
"Have you seen the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Lavender anxiously said. Unfortunately Hermione overheard her, and out of curiosity, decided to listen further.
"Well, not yet but the 3rd years say he's gorgeous!" Pavarti said. She giggled and Lavender did too. They hesitated to keep their voices low since people started staring. But Hermione still heard them.
"A new Defense Against the Dark Art's professor?" she wondered. They had Snape as their teacher for a few months now. "Well that's a surprise." She said sarcastically, she rolled her eyes as she proceeded to the D.A.D.A. room.
As she entered the room, she heard a series of loud mumbling and giggling. Most of the girls had occupied the front rows waiting for something extraordinary to happen. Hermione, not caring at all, sat at the back with the glum-looking boys.
Then silence fell upon the room as a tall young man with exquisite blonde hair and broad, strong shoulders. He smiled seductively at the class and went down the stairs. The girls, mesmerized by him sighed, but not Hermione.
The teacher got out his wand and magically wrote his name on the board.
"As you can see, my name is Professor Malfoy." The Professor said. "But you could all call me Draco, the term "professor"," he said sarcastically, which made even more girls giggle. "makes me feel old." The whole class laughed. "I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for the remainder of the year."
"Obviously." Hermione suddenly said with her eyes glued on the book.
The whole class looked at her, Draco did too, but all she gave was a period of silence. Draco then continued with the class.
He roamed around the classroom, explaining all the lessons they were going to have that year. Then he started lecturing about Red Cappas. Draco yawned three times the whole discussion but as they went to the lather parts it seemed interesting. The whole discussion , the eyes of Gryffindor girls were following Malfoy's every move.
"Please read pages 34-47 of your book and I'll see you guys tomorrow." Draco said.
The Gryffindor's hurriedly went out of the room. The girls continued their giggling, which was highly annoying to Hermione. She took her time and slowly got her things and started walking out the door. Echoes of giggling seemed like it was heard from a mile away.
"He's just a teacher!" thought Hermione.
"Miss Granger." Draco called out. Hermione looked back to see Draco gleaming at her.
"Yes Professor Malfoy?" she replied.
"Would you please stay for awhile? I want to have a little chat with you." He said, he added a small smile.
"A small chat?" she asked herself. This meant trouble. She got ready for the worst as she made her way to him.
Her insides felt like it were melting, what wrong thing did she do now? She breathed deeply and held her breath a few times.
"I've been informed that you are the brightest witch of your year Miss Granger. At least that's what McGonagall told me."
"Er. Well, I'm just fond of reading books Professor." Hermione said bluntly.
"Professor McGonagall also told me that you don't quite excel in my subject."
Hermione blushed with embarrassment. Malfoy chuckled.
"Everyone has their weaknesses Hermione. And because of McGonagall's high expectations of you, she has asked me to do extra lessons with you. Kind of like a tutorial." Malfoy calmly said.
"Tu-tu-Tutorials?!" Hermione bellowed and squeaked. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand before anyone could say anything.
"I see you're quite surprised Miss Granger." He chuckled. " I will be seeing you every Saturday morning starting next month, here at 8:30 in the morning."
Hermione, still in shock about extra lessons nervously said yes and went out of the room. Malfoy smiled and went back to his office.
