My Favorite Words

By: Magic Bunny

"I hate you Draco Malfoy!" Hermione Granger shouted as she chased Draco Malfoy out of the library.

"Back at ya, Mudblood!" He shouted as Hermione began to slow down.

"I…swear, Malfoy, I'll...hex you into…the next millennium!" she shouted between gasps.

Hermione had been studying for a Herbology test; they were going to have the next day, when Draco Malfoy transfigured her teeth into marshmallows.

I hate him so much! She thought as she walked quietly in to the library, again.

As she passed shelf after shelf of large magical books, she tried to think of how many times Malfoy had taunted, teased, and totally destroyed her quiet study time.

"I hate that bloody git." She hissed under her breath.

Just because Voldemort is back, doesn't give him the right to torment me! She thought angrily, as she picked up the Herbology book she had thrown on the wooden floor so she could chase Malfoy.

"Well at least he's not bothering Harry." She muttered, hugging the book to her chest.

During the summer break Hermione had cut her time short with Viktor Krum so she could stay with Harry and the Weasley's. But she regretted returning to England as soon as she had set foot in the Weasley's. The mood was all doom and gloom. She swore she could have died if she had to stay there the whole summer instead of just half the summer.

Hermione walked out of library and walked up to the Gryffindor tower.

"Hello, Dear!" said the Fat Lady.

"Hello. Courage." She said.

"Yes, Dear, that's what we all need now." Said the Fat Lady as her portrait swung open.

Hermione walked into the Gryffindor Common Room in silence.

Where's Harry and Ron? She asked herself.

Then she spotted them. They were both in a corner of the Gryffindor Common Room, doing their homework.

"Hi, guys." She said sitting down in an extra chair.

"Hello, Hermione." They said in dead voices.

"What are you two doing?" she asked.

"Divination homework." Said Harry running his fingers through his messy black hair.

Hermione opened her Herbology book and began reading again.

She didn't try to carry on the conversation, if she did it would remind them all of the old, happy days. It hurt to even say "Quidditch".

No words could make Voldemort disappear or bring all of the people he killed back to life. Hermione knew this. Ron and Harry knew this. Now, even the whole world knew this.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry all study till dinner.

"Let's go to the Great Hall and eat." Said Hermione closing her book.

Harry and Ron stood up and walked with Hermione to the Great Hall, which had gotten quiet after they had entered.

Harry looked down at the ground as they walked to the Gryffindor table.

Poor Harry. Hermione thought as they sat down.

Hermione really wanted for things to be like they were before.

She wanted Harry, Ron, and the whole Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be happy again. She wanted to scold Harry and Ron for being so childish. She wanted to be able to look at the Slytherins and not be afraid for her safety and the safety of others. She wanted to be able to send letters to Viktor, to tell him how much she missed him. But most of all she wanted to say she hated Draco Malfoy and mean it.

"Harry can you pass me the salt?" Hermione asked as she spooned some mashed potatoes on her plate.

Harry passed her the salt and bit into a piece of chicken.

Hermione was about to take a bite of the mashed potatoes when a familiar shiver went up her spine. She only got this shiver when someone was looking at her.

Hermione turned around and saw Draco Malfoy staring at her. His gray eyes fixed on her. He then suddenly jerked back and looked away.

Hermione blushed a little and continued to eat her dinner.

Draco Malfoy had started annoying her and staring at her from the beginning of school. It really confused and annoyed Hermione. She wanted to know why he was staring and picking on her.

I'll find out sooner or later, Draco Malfoy. She thought looking at her friend's solemn faces.

Hello!

This is Magic Bunny here! I just decided to start up another story because I got bored.

Please review this story and tell me if I should continue this. But if you don't like it tell me and I'll just write The Cupid Games.

Thank you,
