Burn Me Down
IV_ Questions
I yawned as I sat in study hall half asleep. I snapped awake when I felt something hit my hand. I looked down to see a folded up piece of paper lying by my hand. I looked around for the person who threw the note at me. I saw Granger looking at me. She looked me in the eye then directed her attention back to her book.
I looked at the folded paper again. I picked it up and unfolded it. The note was written in nice penmanship.
Draco,
Why did you comfort me earlier? Why were you being kind to me? I thought you hated me.
Would you explain all that to me?
- Hermione
I looked at Granger. She was still reading her book. Was she serious? Did she really care that much about a one time act of kindness from me?
Then again I wasn't sure myself why I had comforted the little Mud-blood.
I sighed.
I took my pen scribbled a quick note in reply, folded the paper back up, and tossed it back to Granger.

I flinched slightly when the note I sent to Draco landed on the page I was reading a minute later. I opened the note, a little nervous about what might have been his reply.
Granger,
Does it really matter why I did it? Don't get use to it Granger. I can't explain it, because I'm not sure myself why I acted that way.
Whoever said I hated you?
- Draco
I tossed the note back to him and watched him open it. Was this really happening? Was Draco Malfoy really talking to me?
Draco,
It might not matter to you but it does to me. I already know not to get use to it. What do you mean you don't know why you did it?
As to who said you hated me. You said it when you called me a Mud-blood. If you calling me that awful name doesn't mean you hate me then what does it mean?
- Hermione
I caught the note when he threw it back.
Granger,
You're blowing this whole thing out of porportion. I don't have to explain myself to you.
- Draco
I sighed. I expected such a reply. I scribbled down one last note. I tossed it to Draco.
Draco,
I didn't mean to annoy you, Draco. I was merely trying to understand. You're right, you don't have to explain anything to me, but I wish you would.
- Hermione
To my surprise he opened the note and wrote back and tossed it to me one final time.
Granger,
Fine. If it'll get you off my back meet me at the Quidditch field tonight after dinner. I'll explain everything to you then.
- Draco
