A Start to a New Beginning
Hermione burst through the doors huffing and panting. She was late, again, and sure enough Professor Snape would have her head served on a silver platter for dinner tonight. Especially for being tardy again when she specifically told him it wouldn't be a daily occurrence after the third time in a row. Though it's just so hard keeping up with all of her classes, and from getting from one place to the other when they're located at opposite sides of the school.
In between breaths she managed to utter, "Sorry I'm late Professor, I had Care of Magical Creatures and I had to stay after class to help Hagrid out with putting the fire crabs back into their cages."
Hermione could feel Professor Snape's glare pierce through her heart like a dagger.
"Detention Granger and 50 points from Gryffindor for being tardy yet again." She nodded holding back tears as she passed him to take her seat. Before she sat down however, her eyes met with a pair of grey ones, they held each other's gaze, before his swiftly flickered away.
So as class ended and the bell rang, Hermione watched as everyone left the room except her and the boy sitting two rows behind her. She knew him all too well, his blonde hair, electric grey eyes, and the Slytherin robes he wore. Draco, Draco Malfoy; the boy she despised. Even just looking at him gave her a queasy feeling.
Once the last student has left and shut the door behind them, Snape finally spoke up. "You two will be serving detention together by tidying my class room and ingredient cupboard. I'll be back in an hour expecting great results." The last thing they saw was his black cloak billowing behind him as the door shut leaving Hermione and the boy very, and quite, alone.
She glanced at the boy to find him smirking, and then with a huff she turned the opposite direction and started moving the potion masters belongings into their appropriate places.
"Always a teacher's pet huh Granger? I see you haven't changed much from the last time we spoke." He smirked as she turned around to glare at him.
"I am NOT a teacher's pet! I simply care about my education, and am only paying for my wrongdoings by serving detention." The longer she spoke to him the more frustrated and angry she got. He took a step closer while keeping that same taunting smirk plastered on his face.
"Oh really? Well then shouldn't you be busy cleaning like a good little girl?" As he was saying this he kept moving closer to her with every word. Hermione could feel her heart start to race as she tried to move away from him, but ended up backing up into a desk. "Trapped are you now Granger?"
Realizing she had nowhere to go she looked up at his face with frustration and embarrassment about to demand him to let her go. Though when Hermione looked into Draco's electrifying grey eyes, her expression softened and her heart felt as if it were running a marathon. She felt her cheeks start to blush without her permission, and hastily lowered her head so that he wouldn't notice.
"Blushing Granger?"
"U-u-um n-no. Not at all" She managed to stutter.
"Oh sorry, my mistake" He brought his hand to her chin and raised it slowly to meet his gaze. His touch sent shivers down Hermione's spine causing her to blush even more than before as he slowly lowered his lips to meet hers.
