Title: Someone Like You
Chapter 1
Summary: A certain someone is changing Draco Malfoy.. for the better?! And Hermione is the only one who seems to be noticing this..a truce will lead to a bet that'll surely spice things up..
Setting: 5th year, after classes in the corridor
"Uh-oh, here he comes. " was all Hermione can say as a blonde Slytherin and two of his cronies were approaching them.
"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Ron.
"Oh nothing really. I was just wondering if the rest of your family is still alive in living in that shack you call a house." Said Draco with his usual smirk.
"Shut up Malfoy!" Harry interrupted.
"Honestly Potter, you should really keep your distance from these low lives. Your beginning to be just like them." He replied.
"Let me at him!!" said Ron as he launched straight at Malfoy.
"Stop! Stop it!!" yelled Hermione, as Harry tried to hold Ron back.
"Give me your best shot Weasley." Taunted Draco confidently with his arms crossed over his chest as Crabbe and Goyle by his side both smirking.
"Malfoy, will you just shot the hell up and leave!" said Hermione as she tried to help Harry try to stop Ron.
"Yeah Malfoy just leave!" said Harry still struggling to keep Ron away from Draco.
"Would you really think I'd listen to you Potter? And besides 'a MALFOY DOESN'T BACK OUT on any challenge." Said Draco coolly.
"Let go of me!! I'll show him not to mess with my family again!" said Ron with both ears flaring as red as his hair.
Then Ron suddenly got himself free from Harry and Hermione, and charged towards the unsuspecting Draco. And both of them fell on the floor trying to knock each other out. Surprised, Crabbe and Goyle pulled Ron away from Draco, leaving Draco with a broken nose.
"What may I ask is happening here?!" shouted Snape upon seeing his favorite student with a bloody nose.
"It was all Weasley's fault!" lied Crabbe as he helped Draco stand up.
"50 points from Gryffindor! And Weasley, report to my office tonight for your detention."
"Mr. Goyle, kindly escort Mr. Malfoy to the Hospital Wing."
Then Snape left with a triumphant look on his face.
"You'll pay for this Weasley." Said Draco as he gently touched his nose.
"And I thought you'd learned you lesson by now Malfoy." Said Hermione as she stepped towards Malfoy and was now a few inches standing face to face with him.
"See you tomorrow." He said glaring at Ron and Harry, avoiding Hermione's gaze.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~That night, at the Gryffindor Common Room~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I don't get it." Said Hermione as she sat in one of the chairs by the fireplace.
"Get what?!" asked Harry while reading 'Quidditch through the Ages' (for about the hundredth time already)
"Did you see how Malfoy ignored me earlier?! When he had every chance in the world to insult me or say something harsh and hurt me like he did in the past years. Come to think of it, he's been ignoring me since this year began." She said all in one breath.
Harry placed his book down and looked at Hermione with confusion.
"Wait a minute! Am I hearing right?! Do you actually want Malfoy to insult you? And do you actually care about that scum?!?" He asked with his forehead all curled up.
"No! it's nothing like that Harry.-"
"Cuz I think you're lucky, I mean look what happened to Ron! He may be at Snape's office at this moment cleaning up the mess Neville did earlier at Potions class." Interrupted Harry.
"Yeah I know.but I think it's not.err.natural."
"Hermione, you're the one I don't get!"
"Watever! Just forget I ever said it. Ok?" said Hermione who was looking a bit disturbed.
"Watever you say." said Harry who couldn't help but smile by seeing Hermione so uncomfortable.
"Will you stop smiling! For the last time Harry, I don't care about that conceited pure blood scum!" she said fuming with anger, as she stood up and went to the girl's dormitory, leaving Harry alone and shocked (by the way she reacted)....
Like it?! Hate it?! Tell me about it... R/R! thnx!
NEXT CHAPTER: A question that will take Draco off his guard. What?! Draco?! Off his guard?! what could this possibly mean ?! (N/A: mwahahaha!!)
