Hermione POV

I had just finished Defense of the Dark Arts when I was ran into by Draco Malfoy.

"I'm so sorry! Are you okay!" He spat out.

"Draco! Leave her alone!" Oh thank goodness, Ron came to see if I was ok.

"I said I was sorry though Weasley?" He said.

"I'm fine Ron!" I said. "We better get to Potions class or we'll be late." I started pulling Ron away from Draco before it got to bad. Even after the war Ron didn't trust him just a little.

After classes, all I wanted to do was go to my prefects room to take a nice hot bath. Just as I reached the picture someone tapped my shoulder which sent me a foot in the air. I turned and saw Ron.

"Ron! You scared me!"

"I came to make sure you were all right. Didn't mean to scare you though."

"That's ok Ron, I'm fine. I just need a warm bath before supper."

"Ok 'Mione. I'll see you later." And with that he was gone.

I entered the room and saw I had just enough time to take my bath and read a little.

I went to supper a little after six and the gang was talking about how Draco was such a jerk.

"I'm here so we better stop talking about Draco and how he bumped into me or someone is going to get hurt." I warned looking at Ron. He must have told the others if they know.

"Ok ok! We won't say a word about it. Hey Harry, when is the next Quidditch game." Ron said changing the subject.

I proceeded to listen to them talk about the game until I left to study in the library. And who else do I find there then the ferret. I turned to leave as he saw me.

"Hermione! Wait! I need to talk to you." He called to me until I reached the prefects room.

He finally stopped me and shocked me by saying "Hermione I'm sorry about what I said. I was being a jerk. I was actually wondering if we could start over. That is, if you agree."

"And what brings this on!" I reply.

"the war let me wondering about all the bad thing I've done. You were at the top of my 'was a jerk to' list along with Potter and Weasley so I decided to be nicer to you and them to make up for those years I can't take back."

I was stunned. Was this the real Draco Malfoy who taunted me for seven years? I had to say yes. He was so serious to start his recovery from being a douche, he said he had already started. I guess he was already calling me by my last name.

Boy, did I need some sleep.
