Hermione looked kept looking at Malfoy as he turned around. She wondered why he had been staring at her and Ron. She decided to go over to him and figure out what he has up to. She went to pull away from Ron when he looked at her with curiosity.
"What are you up to Hermione? Don't go starting fights with Malfoy already." He smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek.
"She smiled at him and said, "I just want to figure out what he's up to. I won't start anything I promise." He smiled back at her as she kissed him on the cheek.
She walked over to Draco Malfoy and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Yes Hermione."
She was taken aback a bit as she realized that he had never really called her Hermione before. Also, she realized his hair was not its normal slicked back was hanging over his silver eyes. He turned out to be quite handsome.
"Why were you just staring at me and Ron a moment ago? Did something amuse you?" She asked with as much courage as she could muster because she was still a bit shaken for the surprise she received from his looks.
"I didn't mean to stare at you. I was lost in thought and you two happened to be in my line of sight. I'm so sorry." He replied.
Oh wow he really sounded sorry. I cant believe Draco Malfoy just apologise. Now he's sweet and attractive. Wait! What are you thinking Hermione? This is Malfoy I'm thinking about here. Get a grip! Plus you love Ron, well, I mean close enough.
"Oh, its ok I'm sorry for bothering you then." Hermione replied not really sure what to think of the whole situation.
"Hey look no problem." He replied as she was turning to walk away. Then suddenly he grabbed her arm and said, "By the way, you got very beautiful over the years." And then he smiled and let her go.
She turned to leave lost in thought. "He thinks I'm beautiful. Well that's a first Draco Malfoy complimenting me. Well I'll be sure no to tell Ron though. He would be so mad and he'd cause big deal over nothing. Well maybe he's changed. Its very unlikely but who knows. I wonder if he wants to date me. Whoa! Hemione! What are you thinking girl first off its Malfoy and second he's a pureblood lover and you're a muggleborn no doubt. I was just wondering if he liked me in that way. No, the question is 'Do you like him in that way?' No way! Well then it's settled. Now start paying attention to your real boyfriend." After she was done thinking this she sighed and put her arm around Ron's waist and he instantly put his arm around her shoulder. She was content in the REAL WORLD…

Draco watched as Hermione put her arm around Weasly's waist and had this weird feeling… "Wait, Draco, you aren't jealous are you? No way! Well then stop staring at them." Then Draco turned his head away from the happy couple. "Happy couple? Ha! I bet that they really aren't happy. Why do you say that? Well, maybe I'm just wishing… Why would you wish that? Oh SHUT UP! I just don't think that they look happy. Well, okay maybe they do, but what would she wan with Weasly? Is that really any of your business? No not really but… But nothing. Switch your train of thought before you start liking Granger. THAT would NEVER happen! Never say never Draco .Watch me… NEVER!
He went home just after buying his new wand. He wanted to kick himself for what happened today. He ran into them again and couldn't even figure out anything to say to them.He just looked at them, smiled, wave, and walked off. It was quite embarrassing. He started packing his trunk early so that he wouldn't be the last minute doing it again. He wanted everything to change. He wasn't worried about his father stopping him from trying to fix his messed up life, because he was put back in Azkaban, along with other known death eaters. His mother encouraged him to get start fixing his life now, starting with Harry potter. She herself had no problems with Harry because she was the one who saved him. The he started thinking again… "Well if your dad isn't around, dating for blood won't matter will it? Wait why do you want to know that? I was just curious. About whether you should pursue Granger? Get over that. No I don't and never will like Granger. There goes that Never… you'd better watch that Draco. You're going to jinx yourself. Whatever! That won't happen I may be changing but I won't lower myself. What's lowering about liking a beautiful woman? Oh just STOP! She's got a boyfriend… so let's move on from there. I'm hungry."
