Chapter One

Draco Malfoy frowned while he was walking to Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley. He noticed Mudblood Granger, Weasel, and Potty were getting their school books while having the time of their lives. He also noticed another red head along with them, a tad shorter than Hermione. Draco thought to himself," Must be another Weasely. Great."

This was the last year for the rising sixth years, they finally achieved on learning the basic skills of being a wizard or witch. Now, since some of the students have their hearts set on what career path they choose, of course Hermione would know, but definitely not Harry nor Ron, they would be taking the N.E.W.T.S.

"Can you believe that it's our last year in Hogwarts!" Hermione squealed with delight. "I'm so excited! I bet this is going to be the best year ever!"

Ron, Ginny, and Harry looked at her with a weird expression in all of their faces.

"But Hermione! We're taking our N.E.W.T.S. this year, how can it be fun?" Ron asked dumbfound while looking at the very hyper Gryffindor. Hermione's eyes shined with delight, and grabbed Harry and Ron together and hugged them like she would never see them ever again. Harry and Ron were just very uncomfortable in the position that they were in. Not that it was bad hugging Hermione, just that it was weird the way Hermione was acting right now. She actually ... seemed to have fun!

Draco pushed the door open to walk inside the book store and there was a bell noise that told everyone that someone came in. Naturally the four, looked over to the door to see who came in. But had a disgusted look on their face when they noticed it was Draco Malfoy. Draco looked at his left side and noticed two red heads looking like they just saw scum; a raven haired teenager just had the same expression as the red heads, and lastly, a brunette who had an expression on her face as if she saw the most disgusting person in the world, and wished to curse him off her sight.

"This is awkward,"Draco thought to him, but shook it off and said," Weasel, what did you do to yourself! Not that you looked okay before, but trying to look like your pitiful brother? That guy who looks like a girl with long hair and earrings? Doesn't he work for those goblins at Gringotts? I can imagine when he looks at all the money people have in their vaults, when the Weasely family doesn't even have to galleons to rub against each other."

Ron did grow out his hair, but not as long as Bill did. And no, Ron did not pierce one of his ears; Molly would kill Ron before he could even walk out of the house. "No you bloody retard, ever heard of puberty? You know, when people mature? Obviously, someone hasn't grown out of his ferret stage."

"Weird, he isn't red anymore,"Draco thought to himself once again. Draco threw a glare at Ron then traveled towards Harry," Potter, I thought you would've at least concealed your stupid scar with a concealment charm. Do you still love the fame and glory that you get when people look at your scar?"

But before Harry could even speak, Hermione walked towards Draco and just standing a few inches away from him.

"Bloody Hell she smells good," Draco thought to himself, but tried to erase the thoughts, but eventually did when something hard hit him across his cheek. When he looked around and saw Hermione still standing there with a triumphant look on her face. He knew it was her.

"You know what Malfoy? You need to get a fucking life. Why don't you go buy one, I'm pretty sure your daddy will buy one for you," Hermione fired back, then she started to walk towards Harry and Ron, but stopped mid-air and turned around to look at Malfoy who was glaring at her with his silver eyes, filled with hatred. His hand was on his cheek, which was turning red, and soon visible enough to see a hand imprint on it.

"And Malfoy!"Hermione said while smiling.

"What are you smiling about -"

Hermione hit him on the other side of Draco's cheek. "There, now you can match with your other one that I just gave you ten seconds ago." Then Hermione walked off towards one of the many bookshelves. Draco obviously still in shock, from the second slap that he had just received from the same girl. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were looking at Draco, then at Hermione still visible to them, calmly reading a book.

"Bloody hell, you just got a hit from Hermione!" Ron said in a tone that seemed as if he couldn't believe what he just saw.

"No... really? I thought she kissed me," Draco said sarcastically then turned and walked away.

Hermione watched all of these happen while she was supposedly reading a book. She thought to herself," I can't believe I just hit Malfoy. Did I just hit him twice on the cheek? Omigod, what is wrong with me these days." Her train of thoughts kept on going until they were interrupted by someone who whispered 'Boo' in her ear. Hermione jumped up slightly then turned around, half-expectantly to see Harry, Ron, and Ginny exclaiming that she did the right thing and how Malfoy had deserved that. But it wasn't the three, it was someone else.

"What do you want Malfoy!"

"You look rigid." Hermione noticed that her hand imprints were still on his pale cheeks. She sort of regretted that she hit him... twice.

"Don't change the subject. What the hell do you want from me?" Hermione said while her cheeks grew red.

Draco dropped his head down and replied in a muttered voice," You." Yet Hermione could still hear him. Then he looked up at Hermione slowly, his blonde bangs covering parts of his eyes. Hermione shivered at the way he was looking at her. So, she turned to the side and broke off the stare that Malfoy was giving her. She still could feel him looking at her so she turned back around to meet his eyes again.

"Malfoy, before I curse you off my sight, tell me what do you want? And why are you hurting your reputation by even standing near a 'mudblood'?"

Draco didn't reply, so Hermione took a big sigh and closed her eyes and said," Just leave me alone."

This time Draco seemed like he was out of his strange trance, but walked towards Hermione. He came closer and closer, Hermione slowly walked back, but she stumbled and nearly fell down, when Draco's quick Seeker reflexes grabbed her by the waist. He leaned in close, so that there was only a few centimeters away from them. Hermione closed her eyes shut, thinking that Malfoy was about to kiss her.

"Is it that hard looking at me? I mean, all the other girls would be delighted that they were under my arms, but you, your closing your eyes. Do you hate me that much?" Draco whispered in her ear.

"I shouldn't be answering that question, because you should already know it," Hermione replied smartly. "And can you please let me go?"

Draco's silver-gray eyes hardened and said"See you at school." Then dropped her on the floor. Hermione yelped when she landed heavily on the floor. Draco walked at a leisurely pace, then looked towards his side, but just turned his head. His cloak billowed after him, and just a few minutes later, there was a little chime meaning, he went out of the store.

So.. how did you like it? Leave me some reviews!
