Can't Have Me – Chapter 1: No Change
Hermione's POV
It was the start of my seventh year in Hogwarts. Officially.
I thought about this in the train and sighed. Everything was over. The war, Voldemort, everything was over. I smiled to myself.
Harry and Ron, who were across to me in the compartment, were chatting on and on about Quidditch. They were in a good mood, yes, but nothing compared to me. I don't know why, but I felt that this year was going to be awesome.
"Ron, where's Ginny?" I asked.
The redhead shrugged. "In some other compartment, probably with her new boyfriend."
I felt Harry tense. When Ginny had kissed him in the Room of Requirement, it meant a lot to him. But it turns out their relationship only lasted for about a month. Ginny thought their relationship wouldn't work if Harry was 'the chosen one'. She probably wouldn't know it, but it left Harry heartbroken, until now.
I tried to ignore Harry's reaction. "Oh. Why wouldn't she join us with him?"
Ron looked down. Harry looked away and stared at the window.
I was confused. "Wha...What did I say?"
Ron sighed and looked me in the eyes. "Ginny's dating a Slytherin. Blaise Zabini."
I stood up with surprise. "She's WHAT? How...What...Why?"
Harry turned and looked at me. "'Mione, Slytherin isn't really an enemy, you know. They're purebloods, that's all."
My nostrils flared when I sat down. "But...Don't you guys care? Merlin, do they have attitudes!"
Ron shrugged. "Not everyone. Blaise isn't really bad, once you get to know him. We all thought he was a bad buy because he's Malfoy's best friend."
"He is a bad guy because he's Malfoy's best friend! I mean, only gits become Malfoy's friends!" I exclaimed.
"I don't want to argue with you, Hermione, but it's true. Not all Slytherins are like Malfoy."
I sighed. I didn't want to argue either. And they do have a point. I wasn't close with Blaise; I only knew him with the title "Draco Malfoy's Minion". Maybe Ginny thought he was attractive and nice, and so she started to date him. "Fine. But when he breaks her heart, don't tell me I didn't warn you guys."
Harry and Ron nodded, and they continued to chat. I didn't like Quidditch, so I excused myself to the lavatory.
As I was walking in the narrow corridor, I bumped into...who else?
"Watch it, Mudblood!"
As quick as lighting, I pointed my wand at the blonde. "Don't. You. Dare. Call. Me. That."
Draco was also fast in pointing his wand at me. "Why not?"
I lowered my wand a little, and he followed suit. "Just...don't, okay?" I whispered. He looked confused, as if expecting a different answer.
"What, no 'I hate you, Draco Malfoy!' or 'Stop bugging me, you git!'?"
I didn't want to fight anymore. I thought he'd changed, especially when his father was sent to Azkaban. I thought he'd be at least a little nicer to everyone, particularly me.
"Just quit it, Malfoy. The last thing I want to deal right now is you. I liked you better when you were the quiet and less vicious Malfoy in our sixth year."
He tilted his head to the side. Merlin, he's cute. Whoa, whoa, wait. Did I just say that? "Look, I don't want to fight with you either. I just missed calling you that before."
I shoved my wand in my pocket. "Shut up. Where's Ginny?"
He also placed his wand in his coat pocket. "In our compartment. I can't believe she's dating Blaise. Want to do the same with another Slytherin?" He winked.
I turned tomato-red. I through the nearest thing to him, which was my wand. Bad move.
He caught it easily mid-air and he smirked. "You're not getting this back just yet." Then he placed it in his other coat pocket.
"Ugh!" I exclaimed. I knew it was no use trying to get it from him. He was strong, after all. Muscular, tall, strong...Whoa. Stop right there, Hermione Granger.
And handsome too, my mind continued to say.
"Shut up," I said. Whoops.
Draco, as usual, used his one-of-a-kind smirk. "I didn't say anything, Granger. Are you sure you're still sane?" He chuckled and walked past her to go to his own compartment.
I'm not following him in there, I said to myself. Probably a swarm of Slytherins would be there to make fun of me.
So I turned around with a grunt and headed to Harry and Ron's compartment.
The two boys noticed my vicious expression. "What happened?" Ron asked.
"UGH! MALFOY STOLE MY WAND!" I screamed when I shut the door.
Harry raised his eyebrows. "What? How in the world will he be able to steal it from you?"
"Well," I started to explain, "he didn't actually steal it. I threw it to him."
Harry and Ron looked at each other. "That's just another way of saying you gave it to him, 'Mione," Ron replied.
"No, you don't understand. That boy didn't change even after the war. He went back to his normal scumbag self. I mean, I thought he would be a little kinder and nicer to all of us since he went on our side during the war! But no, he just continued to be a stupid...UGH!" I stomped the floor.
"Wow, Hermione, you really are pissed," Harry replied.
"Am I?" I shouted.
"Don't worry, Hermione, I'm also wondering why he didn't change. I mean, yeah, he switched sides in the war. I thought we could get along after that."
Harry nodded. "I agree with Ron. It's strange. But, Hermione, you still didn't tell us why you gave him your wand."
"Look," I said. "He pissed me off. He even called me a Mudblood! I just bumped into him on the way to the lavatory, and he called me that! Then he continued to taunt me, and I was really boiling with rage that I wanted to throw something at him, which was my wand! I knew he will not give it back to me that easily."
"Then why didn't you follow him?" Harry asked.
"To be teased and laughed at by the rest of the Slytherins? No thank you, Harry."
I finally sank on my chair, and tried to think of a way to get my wand back from that twisted git. I knew there was only one way.
I had to bribe him.
A/N: WELL? Please review if you want me to continue! If you don't...well, I won't finish it because I'll think you hate it. :( Bye for now!
