The next morning Hermione sat with Ron at the breakfast table Hermione looked him in the eyes and said "look Ron you cancelling our date yesterday really hurt my feelings". Ron looked guilty and mumbled "blimey Hermione I didn't mean to hurt your feelings I thought you were fine with it".
Hermione sighed and said "I know but Ron if you want us to stay together you have to start thinking about my feelings" Ron nodded and said "I will do you want to go to diagon alley with me today". Hermione smiled and said "sure Ron" when they were at diagon alley Ron bought Hermione an ice cream. He seemed to be doing his best to be a good boy friend and Hermione loved him for it.
When they got back to school Ron went with Harry to practice quiditch and Hermione decided to go to the library. On her way there she heard someone say "hey Granger" Hermione looked over and saw Draco Malfoy leaning against the wall. Hermione gave him a small smile and said "hi Malfoy what are you doing here?. Draco smirked "we go to the same school remember?". Hermione rolled her eyes "oh you know what I mean" he muttered "waiting for Pansy we are going to study for the potions test together".
Hermione sniffed "its good to know that some people besides me care about the test tomorrow". Draco smiled slightly "so how did things go with Weasley?" Hermione grinned and said "a lot better he even asked me if I wanted to watch him practice quiditch but I wanted to study". Draco snickered "what a surprise I am glad that things are better between you and the idiot".
Hermione punched his shoulder playfully and said "don't call Ron an idiot". He smiled and raised his hands in mock surrender "OK sorry I wont call him an idiot around you". She smirked and said "fine" Draco looked behind her and Hermione turned around to see Pansy walking towards them she did not look happy. Pansy looked at him and snapped "what are you doing Draco? I go to get my books and when I come back I see you talking to this mud blood".
Draco winced and muttered "its not like you never talk to other guys Pansy and if I remember correctly they don't all have two wizard parents". Pansy glared at him and said "but shes friends with Potter". Hermione kept her voice calm and said "look Pansy I am sorry if my friends are prats sometimes but I have never done anything to you".
Pansy looked at Draco for help but he shrugged "shes telling the truth Pansy". Pansy sighed then muttered " fine I am sorry that I called you a mud blood" Hermione smiled at her then widened her eyes in mock surprise "a slytherin apologizing to a muggle born? hell must be freezing over". Draco burst out laughing Pansy glared at him but she looked like she was trying not to laugh.
Hermione started to walk to the library but Draco called "wait Granger" Hermione looked back and Pansy asked "do you want to study with us?" Hermione smiled and nodded and they all walked to the library together.
