Hermione stomped down hog warts hallway angrily wiping the tears out of her eyes Ron had cancelled their date so he could go to Fred and Georges joke shop with some of his friends. "Stupid Ron I just wanted to spend some time with him" she muttered wiping some more tears out of her eyes she wished Harry was here but he was spending some time with Sirius and she didn't want to bother him when he was bonding with his godfather. Not watching where she was going Hermione felt herself bump into someone she started to apologize but then realized that it was Draco Malfoy. Draco glared at her and snapped "why don't you watch where your going Granger?" Hermione looked down and muttered "sorry" not in the mood to fight.
Draco looked at her face and saw that she had been crying trying to keep concern out of his voice he asked "whats your problem?" Hermione stiffened and growled "none of your business Malfoy" Draco shrugged and keeping his tone emotionless said "if you want to talk about it I'm here". Hermione looked up surprised and he added quickly "I mean its not like I have any where better to be" Hermione said" fine if you must know Ron cancelled our date so that he could go to his brothers joke shop.
Draco couldn't help but feel surprised he knew that weasley was an idiot but he seemed to really like Granger. He said "look Granger its pretty stupid to stand in the hallways so why don't we go talk in the library?" Hermione nodded reluctantly then followed him to the library. They sat down at a table and Hermione still looked really sad Draco sighed and said "come on Granger we both know your boy friends a idiot but he does care about you you should tell him how you feel".
Hermione looked at him angrily and shouted "what do you know about feelings Malfoy?" the school librarian shushed her and she looked down embarrassed. Draco felt hurt by her words but made his tone cold "I have feelings and I have friends that I care about" Hermione felt guilty for yelling at him when he was trying to help her. She sighed and said "sorry Malfoy where are your friends anyway?" Malfoy smirked" in detention Crabbe and Goyle were supposed to make a feather float but all they did was burn it".
Hermione had to laugh they were in their fifth year and they still couldn't do a simple spell?. She looked at the clock and gasped when she saw the time "I have to go study for my herbology test" Draco rolled his eyes but he looked more amused then mocking "of course you do and Granger remember what I told you about your boyfriend". Hermione nodded then smiled at Draco and said "thanks your not so bad for a Malfoy".
He surprised her by smiling back and saying "yeah your not so bad yourself" Hermione walked out of the library and only realized later that he had not called her mud blood.
