"There he was, as beautiful as ever. His warm brown eyes seemed to melt her heart every single time she gazed at them. He was wearing a navy blue V-neck sweater a pair of black jeans.

Hermione sat quietly down next to Harry while trying hard to think of something to talk about. Sports, video games and running were all that subjects that guys like to talk about and on these specific subjects, Hermione was clueless on. She bit her lip and tried hard to find something to talk about.

"Hermione! How's it going buddy?" said Harry fondly.

He calls me "Buddy"! I guess that's a start, thought Hermione but out loud she said, "Everything's great. You?"

"Fine. Hey listen, did you do your Spanish tarea..?"

This how converations usually went on between Hermoine and Harry. Poor Hermoine would always watch him saunter into homeroom everyday and how almost every morning he would greet her with the same enchanting smile. She remembered how he would rap in class behind the teachers back. Hermoine loved it when Harry would flip his hair in someone's face just to drive them insane. …

"Earth to Hermoine!"Luna wisper-yelled into Hermoine's ear."Stop day-dreaming about Harry. Did you even hear what the teacher was saying?"

"Nope."

" Niiiiiice... She said that we are going to pair up and do a report on a famous athlete. Oh, and did I mention she's chosing partners." Hermoine and Luna both groaned. They knew how Mrs. Florence's groups were always with people you didn't know very well which garunteed that Hermoine wasn't going to be with either Luna or Harry .As it turned out, Mrs. Florence paired up Harry with Pansey. Pansey was a complete spoiled brat. She walked around like she owned the school and she always wore the latest fashions .All her friends were the exactly the same way. Harry gave Hermoine an apologetic smile when he was put with Pansy, but at the same time he looked happy that he was paired up with such a gorgeous girl ; Hermoine wanted to kill Pansey then and there . She looked over and saw her partner,Draco .

Draco's platinum blonde hair was gelled to perfection and his crystal blue eyes seemed to understand her feelings and thoughts. Creepy. She never had a normal conversation with Draco and some how he seemed to understand her better than ...well, anyone. In all the conversations she ever Draco, she always ended up cursing at cockiness always annoyed the living crap out of her and Hermoine couldn't even stand the sight of him.

He chuckled when he saw Hermoine's annoyed face and beckoned her towards himself.

"Hermoine! Who do you want to do for the project?" Draco said with an crooked smile on his face. Hermoine walked over and sat next him. She wore a scowl on her face and was wishing Pansy to hell.

"Umm… I was thinking we could do a biography on Maria Sharapova. You know, the pro tennis player?"She blushed with embarrassment when she saw Draco's clueless face.

"Um-no. Let's do someone cool like Tom Brady or Payton Manning."

"Ohhh…Basketball players,right?"

"No!They're american football players!"

"i don't care. I hate american football anyway. Its way too aggressive and confusing."

" Thats cause you're not smart enough to understand it. Why don't you get a book and read about it?" He smirked.

" Shut up! My grades are way better than yours and I dont have time to read about that kind of crap!" said Hermoine. She usually didn't care when people made jokes about her being so smart and book-wormy but when Draco said it, it infuriated her.

"Riiight. 'cause you're too busy reading books about Ancient Greek Philosophy and other crap."

"You're such an ...IMPOSSIBLE BUTT-WIPE.!" cried Hermoine. She picked up her books and stormed out the classroom. Draco just shook his head and chuckled.

Hermoine silently cursed."When i get home i am gonna read about american football athletes so I can get back at Draco, " she thougth to herself,"Payton Brady…Tom Manning…what?"

After school, she waited for Harry so they could walk home together like they did waited and waited;the cold December wind seemed to prick her face and exposed skin like needles . As she was sitting on the bench outside of school, she saw Harry walking out the doors with Pansey leaning on his arm and laughing drew Pansey close to himself, and in one swift movement, he took off her hat and stuffed it in his back pocket and pretended that he was innocent. That made Pansey laugh all them welled up in Hermoine's eyes and she briskley walked down the street. She didn't see a huge crack in the sidewalk and before she knew it she tripped, fell , hit her head hard on the sidewalk and passed out.
