The next morning Hermione woke early by mistake but luckily. It was her mother's birthday and she had to send her gift before class started. She knew once she had time after class it would be too late. Hermione grabbed her bag and headed to owlery. She ran in grabbed one of the schools owls. She began to tie with a little blue string. She had sent the owl. She turned around quickly when she ran into a young blonde boy.

"Oh, I'm sor-" Hermione began until she saw the boy. She froze and didn't speak again. Draco got up pushing himself up from the ground.

"Watch where you're going, you filthy mudblood."

Hermione just sat on the ground and watched as he left. She began to get up, when Draco came back. Hermione just stood there. She wasn't frightened by him. She stood silent so he wouldn't disturb her and she wouldn't attack him. Lately, she couldn't control her emotions. She just stood and watched Draco realizing he forgot to send his letter.

"What are you looking at?" Draco asked.

Hermione stood still and looked away.

"Why are you still here? I saw you send your owl. Do you need my permission to leave?"

Hermione continued to stand and look away. She could feel Draco staring at her. She heard him turn away and send his letter. He looked at Hermione a little longer. He chuckled. "mudbloods." Hermione ran to her bag. She decided just to leave and head to the Great Hall.

Draco was standing next to the doorway of the owlery. He glanced at Hermione, then walked away. Once he was out of sight Hermione began to run to the Great Hall.
