Chapter 2
Hermione's POV
Malfoy disappeared from view. Shouting was no use. I was frozen on the spot. Then I really started to think. Why on earth would Viktor Krum be intrested in me? And why would Malfoy want to 'help me?'
"Hermione?" Harry said, shaking my shoulder. "Are you okay? What did he say? You sounded angry."
"Angry? She completely lost her head mate!" Ron laughed. But he was glaring in Malfoy's direction. Obviously thinking he'd mentioned 'Mudblood'. I didn't say anything, I just stalked off to the common room. They understood. All would be explained in the morning...when I wasn't ready to rip the head off anybody who said Malfoy's name.
Draco's POV
"...So any questions?" I asked the rest of the common room. Assuming Krum asked them what was really going on, they would now have an appropriate answer.
"Just one. Have you lost your mind? You do know there were about a million other excuses right?" Blaise asked. Eyebrows raised.
"I panicked. I can't change what I said believe it or not!" I hissed. Plus Granger will be forced to spend time with me which will be hilarious.
"Wait a second! When where you lying? Dinner or now? I'm confused." Crabbe frowned.
"That's a shock." Muttered Pansy unkindly. Whether it was aimed at me or Crabbe I don't know. A huge burst of voices erupted. But this was a typical night in the Slytherin Common Room. Not the 'me pretending to date a Mudblood thing' obviously. Just finding something to insult someone about. Astoria Greengrass was suprisingly quiet.
"You know what? I'm going to bed. Maybe I'll get some peace and quiet there if I'm lucky!" I shouted above the noise.
I wasn't lucky. Some prat in first year set off a dungbomb downstairs so strong I could smell it so easily from up here. I can only imagine what it's like down there. Blocking it out with my thoughts didn't help. One half of my thoughts was dreading the year ahead. A quarter was wondering what was up with Astoria. The rest was wondering if Krum would still be friendly tommorow.
But an extremely small bit was cheering about what I'd gotton into.
The next day...
Hermione's POV
I woke up cheerful about my dream. Not entirely sure what it was though. Unfortunatley what was ahead today was not a dream (Or nightmare).
Harry and Ron were the first people I saw when I came out of the girls dorm. They saw me too. And ran over immediatley.
"How early did you two get up? You look very awake for 7am. Which is like 3am for you two." Hopefully they'll forget...Please forget...
Harry grinned. "You can't get around us that easily Hermione. What happened?" So I went over exactly what Malfoy said. Word for word. Not that I...uh...was paying close attention...psh...no way I just have a good memory.
The boys were wide eyed. Ron spoke first, but with pure hate in his voice, I was praying it wasn't for me. "I hope you told that bastard where to go!"
"He ran off before I got the chance."
"Then tell him at breakfast."
"No, Krum will probably be with him."
"So?"
"So! Have you not been listening?"
"Of course I have! You can tell Krum no, you know Hermione! You don't need that pathetic little ferret to protect you!"
"Protect me? You think I asked for this?"
"By the way your defending him. I'm starting to think so!"
"Ronald Weasley you lit-"
"BOTH OF YOU!" Harry shouted directly in our ears. Then he looked at me. "To be honest. I think that Malfoy has had a bit of a thing for you since you hit him."
Ron's face was blank and I'm sure mine mirrored. Harry sighed.
"The world cup! He was casual about it but he told us to get you out of there. Remember Hermione? He's been talking to you more aswell. He never really spoke to you until then! Now this! I really doubt it's a coincidence." Ron and I remained silent. Both our brains in overdrive.
What do you think? I was doing this for about an hour. Most of it coming up with the begining.
Please Review. You'll be my friend...( I won't promise best Friend because I have WAY too many of those.)
