A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Chapter 3: Mr. Popular

Hermione POV

I couldn't believe my luck happened to be changing so fast and yet apparently it wasn't over.

When I reached my locker I noticed that the person who has their locker next to mine was there. I just decided to walk up and open the lock, grab the books and go, until I actually noticed him. And this guy was totally gorgeous.

He has pale blonde hair that was slicked back like you see in those 50's movies except he had a few stands left down by his face. He was wearing casual jeans and a lettermen jacket.

And as I noticed him, he noticed me with his gray eyes.

"Hey." He was the first to speak.

"Hi." I simply replied back as I snapped the lock open.

"You new here?" He asked.

"Yeah." I answered him.

"What's your name?" He went on.

"Hermione, Hermione Granger. And yours?"

"Draco Malfoy."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Malfoy." I smiled at him.

He closed his locker shut but still remained standing next to me.

"I normally don't do this but maybe if you wanna hang out some time, I can show you around the town." Draco offered me.

I thought about it for a minute. Neither Ron nor Harry had asked me this and who knows, maybe theses guys were actually friends.

"Maybe." I answered him as I closed my locker shut too.

"Cool, I'll see you tomorrow." Draco said and with that he walked away.

"Bye." I said quietly to myself.

Hugging my binder close to me I started to walk back to where the guys had told me to meet them. Yet I was happened to be interrupted again.

"Were you just talking to Draco?" One girl asked who ran up to me. Her friend happened to be with her.

"Um…" I didn't get the chance to even answer the question.

"Because he is like the most popular kid in this school." The girl's friend filled in for me.

"And he's only a junior like us." The first girl replied back.

"I'm sorry, who are you again?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry," the first girl began again. "My name's Lavender Brown and this here is my friend Pavarti Patil."

"I'm Hermio-" I started off again but the two of them wouldn't seem to let me get a single sentence in.

"But better yet what did he say?" Pavarti began.

"What did he want?" Lavender followed her.

"What did you say?"

"Do you know each other?"

"Are you dating?"

"Guys, that's enough."

Both girls looked at my like I had gold in my hands.

"First off, why do you care so much?" I asked.

"Because, since were in the Popular circle in this school we have a right to know. And since Draco Malfoy talked to you, you're in it too. So common, let's go to the table." Both girls put there hands though my arms and dragged me to the opposite direction of which I was going.

"Hey, hey hey! Let go of me." I told them both.

"Oh Hermione, quite complaining, you'll thank us later." Pavarti said.

"How do you know my name?" I asked her.

"It's on your binder." Pavarti said.

I suddenly realized that I was going to the cafeteria and through those two huge double doors. And once I was inside, I could tell that I wasn't going to get out of there anytime soon. The cafeteria was packed with people and the lunch line wrapped around the outer rim. Lavender and Pavarti led me to this table near the back of the weird shaped room and it was different then the others. On it was a mixture of binders, books, soda bottles and one plate of onion rings with a side of ranch next to it. Sitting around it was two girls, and some other guys, all of them I have never seen before.

"Hey guys. This is Hermione, she's cool with Draco." Lavender introduced me.

"Hey." The group replied at different times.

"Hermione this is Ginny." Pavarti pointed to a girl with flaming red hair and a ton of freckles. "She a grade lower than us but she's really cool."

"Do you know a Ron?" I asked her. She looked really similar to him.

"He's my brother." Ginny replied.

"That's Angelina, she's a senior." Lavender pointed out a long slim girl with following black hair.

"That's Dean and Seamus as well." Pavarti finished up, pointint to the two boys talking quietly to each other.

"You're new here, right?" Angelina asked me.

"Yeah, I'm from San Francisco." I replied back to her.

Lavender pushed me into an empty seat and the two of them sat on both sides of me. Now there was no escape. "Um, actually you guys, I was supposed to hang out with these two other guys I met this morning." I started but they didn't listen to me.

"Oh just look at her, strutting around the god damn place like she owns it." Angelina remarked aloud to the group. Immediately the whole table moved forward a little.

"Who?" I just had to ask, giving into there temptation.

"Cho Chang duh! She's only like the prettiest girl in the whole school. She's a senior but she says that she doesn't date high school guys. Rumor has it that her and Draco have been going out forever!" Lavender talked about her.

I looked up to see a pretty girl with long straight black hair and brown eyes.

"Hey guys." Cho greeted the group.

"Hi." The group greeted her the same way they greeted me.

"And who are you?" she asked pointing a finger at me.

"This is Hermione, she's new." Pavarti spoke up.

"Well, well, well. Where you from?" she continued to ask questions.

"San Francisco in California." I replied back.

"Wow, long way from home huh?" She spread a smile across her face. With that said she began walking to the other side of the cafeteria with the other seniors.

"Can you believe her?" Lavender said.

"Yeah I mean she had no business talking to you that way." Pavarti said.

Suddenly it finally hit me that Lavender and Pavarti actually wanted me to be there friend and was actually looking out for me.

"Thanks, I guess." I assured them.

The bell quickly rang and everyone made there way to his or her next class.

It was my last class of the day, the one I was looking forward to, Art. I walked into the classroom to find that Harry was also in this class with me. The classroom was huge and there were beautiful paintings around the room.

I walked in and took a seat down next to Harry.

"Hi." I smiled at him.

"Hey." He didn't look at me.

"Look, I'm sorry that I couldn't meet you at lunch. It's just that these two girls dragged me off to the cafeteria and introduced me to all their friends and by the time I knew it, lunch was already over." I tried to explain.

"Who?" Harry suddenly became curious.

"Lavender and Pavarti." I answered him.

"Are you kidding me? There practically the most popular girls in the junior class." Harry replied. "No wonder you didn't want to hang out with us."

"I did! But before I know it, some guy called Draco is talking to me and another girl named Cho is picking on me. This school is definitely weird." I tried to explain.

"Draco Malfoy talked to you?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, why do you know him?" I asked back.

"Of course I know him, everyone knows him. He's the captain of the freaking Rugby team at the school. Ever since he started playing, the team hasn't lost a game." Harry replied.

"Great, maybe we can all be friends." I smiled.

"Draco doesn't even know who I am. No one does, except Ron of course but you know what I mean. I'm not like those kids." Harry answered me.

"Oh." I tried to say.

The bell rang and the rest of the students jumped into there seats.

The teacher gave us an assignment and the class got to work on their sketches.

"Do you like art?" I whispered to Harry.

"What did Draco ask you?" Harry asked.

"Why do you care?" I asked back.

"Because I do, everyone practically does. Now tell me."

"He wanted to show me around town sometimes and I told him maybe." I said.

"Are you going to?"

"Maybe. I mean I guess it would be fun." I answered him.

Harry remained quite for a while as we both worked silently on our work. Near the end of class Harry decided to talk up again.

"I guess you won't have any room for Ron or I in your new life so I totally understand if you never want to talk to us again." Harry spoke up.

"Harry, that's not true." I tried.

"No, I can't help it anymore, your popular stuff." Harry said.

"Doesn't mean we can't be friends. I want to be friends, you're the first person at this school that cared about me." I said.

"Whatever." Harry said.

With that, the bell rang and Harry quickly gathered up his things and hurried out the door. I took my time and as I was walking out of the door and I noticed one of the paintings hung on the wall. It was absolutly beautiful, the portait of the sun setting over the city as the reflection gleemed in the building's windows. It was trulya master piece. Buthere's thereal catch.The signature at the bottom, it was Harry's.

Harry Potter, the mystery man.
