Hermione looked at her alarm clock. It read ''5:30 am - Sat''. She started to like saturdays, weekends and holidays in general, after she started 6th year. Before she would feel bored and helpless, but now she would just relax and think about her life.
It was early, but she got used to waking up at that time, because no one would be awake, not even the teachers. So she would wonder around the halls and examine what was left of Hogwarts that she didn't know.
She got up, made her bed, and got dressed. She wore a black skirt and a marron blouse, nothing to catch anyone's attention. She tried to fix her hair, which always would stay the same way, no matter how many things she tried.
She walked out of her room, being careful not to wake her roomates.
It was a misty morning, it had rained the other night. Hermione could tell it was windy from her view from the window in the main hall. But still, it was a nice day, and it seemed that the rain season was over.
She smiled at her sight. She truly loved those moments alone. But they didn't last as long as they did all the other days.
''Couldn't sleep uh, Granger?'' The icy voice was not to loud, but still cold.
She turned around. It was Draco Malfoy. He were black trousers and a green t-shirt.
''Why do you care?'' She replied, raising an eyebrow. He really got on her nerves, and she didn't want to have her morning ruined by his rude comments.
''I just didn't know I would run into a mudblood first thing in the morning. It really ruins a wizard's day.''He was grinning those words maliciously.
''Actually, you are the one who's not supposed to be here. I'm glad we don't have classes, I wouldn't be able to concetrate, with your image stuck in my head.'' That came out completly wrong. Glady, Draco didn't seem to pay much atention to her answer.
''Classes? You talk like you have a future in wizardry. Do you even know what a TRUE wizard is?''
''Do you?'' She answered quickly, gently and ironicly smiling at him.
There was a silent pause.
''Have it your own way, Granger!'' He gasped, then continued, ''Honestly, you may be the bookworm kind of smart, but I've got skills when action is needed. I wouldn't image YOU in a duel! I almost feel pity with the image!''
''Is that a dare?'' She snarled. ''Because I know you aren't that much in a duel.''
Draco thought for a while, then answered with a half smile, ''Yes, it is a dare. I never dueled a muggle born before. I'm guessing it's fun.''
''I'm guessing it will be fun too, to show what a true wizard is to a cruel, sarcastic, and disliked spoiled boy. I'm not like your ''friends'', I won't take money to obey you!''
Hermione was impressed by her own words. The look on Draco's face didn't change, but deep inside he felt a little hurt. His friends were interested in his money and nothing more, and Hermione captured that like no one else.
''I know a place, where no one will see us. Bring your wand and nothing more. We'll make our own dueling rules when we meet. Come back here at midnight, and tell no one about it.''
''I won't. Show up this time and don't be as coward as you were when you set Harry up first year.''
''That was with Harry. This is with you.''
Draco walked away, leaving Hermione a bit worried about the duel, but excited to show him what she could do.
