A Lovers Night

Chapter 3

As she reached the castle she walked into the door and the first thing she saw was Ron and Harry running to her.

"Are you alright?!?" Yelled Ron hugging her tightly.

She hugged him back and gave him a sad smile.

"I'm fine Ron."

Ron looked down and saw she didn't have her book bag.

"Hermione… were is your book bag?"

Her eyes widened and put her face into her hands.

" OH NO!"

Harry looked at her.

"Did you forget to pick it up when you jumped off?"

Hermione looked up and hit Harry in the arm, he grabbed his arm and started to laugh.

"Harry its not funny! I left it in a carriage FULL of Slytherins!"

Harry stopped laughing and both of their eyes got big staring at her.

"I have to get it!"

"But how?"

"I don't know Ron how about you go up to them and ask them for it if you are so brave?"

Ron backed up and just looked at her.

Just as Ron was about to start walking over to the group of Slytherins who had been laughing at them the bells had rang and they had to go to the Great Hall.

Ron had then started walking very fast in the other direction. Harry just shrugged and walked behind him slowly with his hands in his pocket.

Hermione looked down then over at the group of Slytherins who had very slowly started walking away. She started her self but as everyone was in the Great Hall she was just about to walk in as someone had grabbed her arm and pulled her into the empty hall, she turned around and saw it was Draco.

"If you're here to make fun of me make it fast…"

She looked down as she crossed her arms.

He put his hands into his pockets and looked at her. She could tell he was staring.

"If I was going to make fun of you I would have done it in front of everyone."

She didn't look up.

"Then why am I here."

She turned to walk away as he grabbed her shoulder and turned her back around.

"I'm here to give you this."

He then walked to a broom closet and pulled out her book bag. He walked back to her looking around to see if anyone was coming and handed her, her bag. She grabbed it from him gently and looked up at him and smiled softly.

"Thank you."

He looked down putting his hands in his pockets again letting his hair go into his eyes.

"Why are you being so nice to me Draco?"

He didn't move just stood there. She just looked at him and smiled swinging the book bag over her shoulder hitting him in the side making him almost fall over.

" I'm sorry!"

She put her hand on his arm and he just looked up at her and smiled putting his hand over hers. She blushed and looked down.

"Your different this year Draco…"

His took his hand off hers and looked down.

"No! I mean in a good way!"

Sliding her hand down onto his. He looked up at her and blushed looking down at their hands.

"People always change Hermione. Some turn good and some turn just plain Evil."

He looked up at her through his hair smirking at her. She looked down turning even redder. then everything changed when they heard some Slytherins coming, He pulled away his hand and started to walk away quickly. She looked down watching him go around the corner. She then walked to the Great Hall and sat down next to Harry looking at Draco across the room.

Harry had elbowed her in the side making her grab it looking at him crossly knowing he knew she was looking at him. Ron just sat there stuffing his face full of food.
