Chapter Two: Insufferable
Hermione, her mind pre-occupied with her class schedule for the coming year, was about to leave the dormitory when she realized she had forgotten to brush her teeth. She ran back up the stairs, threw her bag on her bed and entered the bathroom with out even thinking twice. To her surprise, she found it was already occupied by Draco Malfoy in nothing but a white fluffy towel draped dangerously low on his hips. I now see why girls fancy quiditch players so much, thought Hermione before she scolded herself and immediately turned around to leave mumbling "sorry Malfoy" as she went. However she found her path blocked by the very same man she was trying to keep her eyes off of. "Not so fast Granger, where are your manners? Don't you know you're supposed to knock first?" said Draco, casually leaning against the door frame, arms crossed.
"I said I'm sorry Malfoy, now get out of my way," said Hermione keeping her eyes firmly on his face, scolding herself for wanting to take another peak.
"Oh is that what you mumbled? Didn't sound too sincere to me." He said, then noticing a slight pink tinge to her cheeks, he smirked "And you can look all you want I doubt you've ever seen such a fine specimen. In fact that I bet you've never even seen a man naked before, being the little prude that you are."
Hermione rolled her eyes and having had quite enough of his insults pushed past him quite forcefully. Draco staggered back a few feet before regaining his footing. No one gets away with pushing me, especially not her! He thought angrily as he grabbed Hermione by the arm and pinned her to the wall behind them. He saw shock, anger and fear all spiralling dangerously in her big golden brown eyes. Ive got you right where I want you Granger you should be scared, Draco thought as he leaned in ever so slowly, grazing her cheek with his own before whispering menacingly in her ear, "Don't you ever push me again," Hermione replied by bringing her knee up rather forcefully into his crotch. Draco immediately let go of her, collapsing to the floor in pain. Hermione smirked "They do say that actions speak louder than words, but incase you didn't get the message Malfoy, I don't appreciate being shoved into walls by slimy gits such as yourself. Grabbing her bag Hermione gracefully exited the room, stopping only at the door way to say, "If the world is lucky you won't ever be able to have children," and left.
As Draco stood up in pain, he found a new respect for Hermione, Damn that little mudblood has spirit. Then he unconsciously rubbed his cheek which still tingled slightly.
"Haha, she did what to you now" Blaise said his face red with laughter, as the two boys ate their breakfast.
"I really don't appreciate you laughing at my pain, or announcing it to the whole school for that matter"
"Dude, you just got beat up by a girl, how do you expect me not to laugh"
"You're Intolerable" Draco huffed as he forcefully got up to leave. Looking down at his schedule he saw that his first class was transfiguration with the Gryffindors. Groaning he crumpled it and put shoved it back into his bag. Here is to one insufferably long day, he thought.

"You saw Malfoy in a towel! Oh man tell me his shirtless body is as sexy as I dreamed it would be!"
"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed "You're missing the point, did you hear what he did to me!?"
"Well it's not nearly as bad as you did to him, toerag or not it must have been nice to have that fine body pressing you into the wall"
"You are absolutely impossible!" Hermione huffed.
"Not as impossible as you are! Just admit it already, you liked what you saw... I see those cheeks flushing"
"There is nothing to admit, and nothing you can say to make me"
"What are you trying to get poor Hermione to admit?" Asked Harry as he sat down between the two girls.
"Oh that she studies too much, caught her reading her transfiguration book at the table and classes haven't even started yet" Ginny lied smoothly.
"Well there is no point in getting her to admit it...especially when everyone knows that already"
"Yeah everyone does know that," said Ginny giving Hermione a look. Hermione knew immediately what she was implying and kicked her under the table. Harry however noticed nothing and began piling his plate. "I will admit to no such thing now drop it" said Hermione in an undertone. Ron soon joined them and conversation resumed as normal, none of them the wiser that someone had been watching the whole exchange. Malfoy's best friend or not Blaise had to admit that Hermione was starting to grow on him. Any girl that had the balls to put Draco in his place was beyond a doubt in his good books, if not for entertainment value alone.
"Attention students" Professor Mcgonagal said clearly over the class' chattering. "Though I would like to believe you are all responsible young adults, years of teaching Newt level transfiguration has taught me otherwise. Therefore I am instating a seating plan until you prove to me otherwise." Draco looked up in disbelief. Just my luck she's going to put me with Granger. "Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy" Draco literally growled under his breath and then went to join Hermione in the front row. Broodingly he began to aimlessly doodle on his parchment occasionally poking a few holes through it in anger.
"Mr. Malfoy, would you be so kind to tell us the three key elements of human transfiguration"
But Draco's head was deep in clouds thinking of ways he could get revenge for this morning. A smart kick to his shin from Hermione and Mcgonagal's voice brought him back down to earth. "Mr. Malfoy"
"Yes professor"
"I repeatedly asked you a question but since you deem my class unworthy of my attention I shall have to ask you to leave."
Draco opened his mouth to retort but was interrupted by Professor Mcgonagal. "It's too late for apologies Mr. Malfoy, if you don't respect my teaching then I won't respect your learning. If you wish to come back into this class I expect a two foot long essay on all the important topics we have covered thus far and how they will relate to this years curriculum"
The class was completely quiet. They had known Mcgonagal to be tough, but they had never heard of her kicking someone out of class on the first day. The head boy no less. Draco angrily gathered up his things and made his way to the library to start his essay. In his furry he only managed a couple of sentences before it was time to go off to his next class; Herbology with the Hufflepuffs.

Hermione watched in shock as Draco exited the classroom. This really isn't his day she thought. Arrogant toerag or not he really didn't deserve to get kicked out of class... But Hermione did not allow herself any more time for reflection, there were notes to be taken, questions to be answered and no way that both of the heads were going to be kicked out Mcgonagal's class in one morning.
"Ms. Granger, I shall ask you to give Mr. Malfoy the homework, should he decide to complete his essay and a detailed summary of what we went over in class."
"Yes Professor" said Hermione grudgingly. They had covered some really complex spell theory in that class and she really didn't want to waste her time explaining it to Malfoy.
However the rest of Hermione's day was rather uneventful until it came to double potions with the Slytherins. She watched as Draco came storming in angrier than ever. She let a momentary smirk grace her face, serves him right, she thought.
"Mr. Malfoy, would you be so kind as to help me fetch the required ingredients for todays potion" Drawled Snape in his signature baritone. Draco huffed, but got up and followed Professor Snape to his supply closet. Usually this was a job, for one of his goonies, what did Snape want with him?
"Draco it has come to my attention that you were kicked out of Mcgonagal's class today, what do you have to say for yourself"
"I don't have to answer to you, and it was totally uncalled for, so if that's all I will be going back to my seat" Said Draco angrily. "Not so fast young man, I may be a close friend of your father's but I am still a Hogwarts teacher and you will speak to me in no such way. Detention tonight, it should help you learn some respect, my office after class, and don't be late." Draco simply replied with a glare then turned on the spot and left.
"Hey dude," said Blaise who now occupied the seat next to him.
"Don't even talk to me right now, every fucking teacher in Hogwarts is out to get me," said Draco as he slammed his cauldron onto the table.
"What, no... come on Snape loves you"
"What part of drop it do you not understand, I just got detention from the bastard for getting kicked out of Mcgonagal's class,"
"Oh.."
"Yeah oh, now leave me the fuck alone, because I am going to hex the next person to piss me off"
Hermione watched this exchange with slight amusement, admittedly she was starting to feel a bit bad for Malfoy, but then she remembered she had patrols with him at eight that night, and she knew he was going to make them hell for her.
And so ends the second chapter. I hope you enjoyed it, did any of you think he was going to kiss her? Anyways reviews are always appreciated :)
