- What makes you think that you can wander in the castle and just bully everyone? Hermione shouter as she spot the slytherin, alone.
- That's none of your business Granger, Draco answered through his teeth.
-True, but it could be yours soon, the ginger warned.
- Why? Are you gonna rat? It's not as if I even cared, he replied, amused.
- No actually I was thinking that I could kick your ass myself; after all beauty isn't everything… Sorry to tell you that but you don't seem really smart Malfoy.
- You didn't…, Draco began.
- Oh yes I did. What? You're used to be the one no one ever picks on, right? Well guess what, I don't care about who you are but you shouldn't bully the first years.
- Should I bully you instead? Is that what you're trying to say? He asked, smirking.
- Shut up Malfoy, you don't scare me, Hermione said before walking toward her next class.
Fortunately for Draco, she didn't look back at him; otherwise she would have seen how flabbergasted he was. She was right, no one ever picked on him like that, specially not a mudblood, specially not Hermione actually. He never thought that Granger could ever speak to him like that; after all the years he spent picking on her, he somehow thought that she was kind of scared of him; at least, scared enough not to behave like this.
He was somehow glad that she acted that way though; she showed him another side of her personality that he kinda likes. Hasn't she said that he was beautiful too? Malfoy damned himself when he smiled as he remembered this little detail of their conversation; he couldn't care about what Hermione did, said or even thought about him, not her, not a mudblood.
The later knew that if she had spoken to him like that it was for two reasons. First, she was angry at him for captivating her; and second, she was angry at herself for being captivated by him. Ok, maybe she was also pissed because he really did bully lots of first years.
When she saw the slytherin entering the class of defense against the dark arts, his face was expressionless; as if the little incident that had taken place in the hallway a few minutes ago never occurred. It either meant that it hadn't mattered to him at all, or that he didn't want to show that it did; Hermione thought the first solution was the right one to choose.
With a relief, she notices that in contrary to what had happened earlier in the morning during potions class, Draco wouldn't be able to distract her since he was sitting far behing her. It was now Malfoy's turn to wonder himself why he was now thinking about Hermione. Was it only because of their conversation? Or was it because of something deeper? Draco felt like he was about to be sick; she was a gryffindor and a mudblood for Merlin's sakes!
But Draco conclude that it was only being dued to their conversation and that the less time he'll spend with Granger, the better he'll feel. That was a point of view that Hermione shared, and she will act the exact same way. They avoid each other as much as possible; and Hermione had to admit that it felt great not to be around him; though she already knew that of course. But things changes few weeks later, and not to their benefits.
It was on a sunny afternoon that the quidditch's tryouts took place and since three of her friends were part of the team, Hermione came to cheer and let's be honest, because she had nothing else to do and didn't want to go study in the library on her essay for potions class when she was able to enjoy spending some time with her friends. So here she was, sitting on the bench of the gryffindor's tribune.
Just like Harry predicted it, no one tried out to be the team's new goal keeps; King Weasley will wear the crown for another year. Ginny made it in team as well. Actually, those who were part of the team last year, and were still at hogwarts, made it all in. They were all excited about their first game, gryffindor against slytherin obviously.
As her friends left the field to go back to the castle to rest, Hermione stayed and began her essay there. She didn't plan that after the gryffindor's tryouts, there would be the slytherin's. She put her potions book on the bench and looked at the new comers doing their best down there on the grass. And then she saw their captain and also seeker, Draco Malfoy.
