Hello! This is my first Harry Potter story, I hope you like it. Sorry, the insults suck, but it's rated K.
Anyways this is NOT, I repeat, this is NOT a love story. Draco was just the best character for the job.
This chapter is kinda short, but I'll add more as soon as possible.
Please read and review, any feedback is welcome!
Disclaimer: I sadly, do not own Harry Potter.
*Draco POV*
"Bookworm."
"Coward."
"Mudblood."
"Is that the best you've got? You've called me that for 8 years. It got old after, oh, the first year?"
I ground his teeth. She had gotten him there. This girl couldn't get a reaction out of her. I began to form a plan….
Later that day in Defense Against the Dark Arts, I let loose a unicorn. Their new teacher loved to dissect things.
*Hermione POV*
I stumbled into D.A.D.A. only to see a unicorn trussed up, hanging from the ceiling with their teacher leaning over it with his scalpels.
"No!" I ran up to him. Professor Wilhelm stopped just before cutting open the poor animal.
"Professor, you do realize Dumbledore strictly forbid you from dissecting animals. Especially unicorns and centaurs. That is breaking the treaty for you staying on and them staying in the Forbidden Forest."
"Alright Miss Granger, for ruining my fun, you have detention and the class has a 5 page essay on the unicorns and centaurs. Go into detail on their anatomy, communications, and behavior. On my desk on Monday."
The class groaned and glared at me. I shrugged. It would be easy. I spoke to soon, however.
All day every single person in the class had come up to her and sweetly asked her to help her with their homework. I politely refused the first few, but the requests became more and more forceful. People would push me and pinch me, even though I kept refusing. The next day, a few students cornered me demanding I do their homework. In general, they made my life miserable.
Doing my best to avoid them, I never went anywhere alone. Ginny, Ron, Harry, or Luna always stayed with me. Unfortunately, they couldn't always stay with me. I finally got cornered in the library, when I fell asleep at my books.
I sat up, rubbing my eyes and looked around to see a sea of angry faces.
"Granger, I think you owe us all some homework. Why do you have to be all stuck up all the time? He wouldn't have killed it, but noooo. Hermione has to come to the rescue, like she always does, fighting everyone's battles. Bet you really love doing that. A little bookworm like you, being the center of attention." Malfoy's voice cut through my headache. "Why don't you do us all a favor and disappear. We don't need you to fight our battles, we can do that ourselves. All your good for is doing other people's homework."
That was it. I stood up, knocking my chair over. Malfoy suddenly looked alarmed, and took a step back. How could I know that my eyes turned red?
"Yes, I think I will take your advice, and get out of this hellhole. And I don't fight other people's battles. Sure, I help people when they ask for it. But that's not fighting everyone's battles. And answer me this, where would you be without me? Remember what I did in the war? You would be under Voldemort's thumb." I whirled on the class behind me. "And so would all of you. Now I am getting the heck out of here. I would get out of the way, before you get run over."
They all gave me questioning looks. I ignored them and summoned my muggle motorcycle. I jumped on it, and rode it down the stairs, through the Great Hall and out the front door. Ghosts and people yelled at me but I ignored them.
It was dusk. The air was cool and fresh blowing through my hair. I sighed and turned towards Hogsmeade. I flew down the streets, ignoring the weird looks I was getting. I turned off into the street that lead back into the muggle world.
