Gryffindors and Slytherins Never Mix

*New Enemies*

Finally Harry, Hermione and Ron finished their mid day course, they made their way out to the courtyard, Micah noticed and left and followed.

Harry out the corner of his eye saw Micah behind him and smiled to himself. "Perfect." He whispered. "Ron! I just remembered that we had to go to the Quidditch area. Professor Hooch said."

"Oh yes I remember, c'mon Harry. See you Hermione." Ron said eagerly as he saw Micah come.

And the two made their way to the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione was left alone, and saw only a few Hufflepuffs and that was all. She decided to go inside as it was still the autumn season and quite frankly it was chilly. She wrapped her arms under her chest and walked, until she was stopped.

"Don't you just hate the weather today?" He said trying to make conversation.

Hermione looked at him, she was going to ignore him but she didn't want to be rude to him, as it was his first day here. "I think the weather is quite lovely actually." She spoke.

Micah looked at her and was confused. "But why did you wrap your arms around yourself, which surely means one thing, that you are cold."

"No, it does not. I had done that because my friends left me alone and I was quite angry, how they had left and ran off. But still they did have a meeting to attend." She said annoyed by how much the wizard wanted her to say 'yes' to his explanation.

"Oh!" Was all he could say. He scratched his head.

Draco finished his food and decided to go for stroll before Pansy and the others came rushing to him and causing him to get irritated.

As he began to walk, he heard distant conversation to his left.

Oh come on Draco, it's just people talking. That all right? He questioned himself.

When did Draco ever give a care about others, and when did he stop to listen to others' conversation, he sighed as he heard footsteps approach and looked up to see.

Hermione and Mickey, sorry Micah.

He started to smirk. This could mean only one thing, Draco had a plan. He walked up to the two and done something Draco knew he would never do.

"Hi Gr-Hermione!" He said cheerfully, as he stood by her side and wrapped an arm around her waist.

Hermione was startled, when did Malfoy start calling her by her name and putting an around her. He said to her times before, 'I will never touch a mud blood.' She turned to Malfoy and stared at him, "Hi?" She muttered confusedly.

Draco smirked as he saw over her shoulder, Micah looking angry as he stole her from their conversation.

"Yeah, so that when I went up to her and carried her in my arms and hurried through the fire. Pretty cool aren't I? He said bursting with pride.

Draco snorted, "If I know Hermione, I think she couldn't care less about you and a fake set with fire that was magic and you running naked to save a girl."

Hermione smiled at him and soon turn it upside down.

"Was I asking you Malfoy?" He paused, "No I wasn't, and I was speaking to Hermione here. So butt out."

"What about I don't want to? What you going to about Mickey? You better watch that mouth of yours or your pretty face will go in a flash!" He spat, while he let go of Hermione and walked dangerously close to Micah.

Micah chuckled. "Is that a threat Malfoy?"

"That's a fucking promise!" He hissed.

Hermione came between them, as any minute they could start a fight and cause mayhem for no reason.

"Micah, I think you should go." She sighed.

Draco smirked at Micah and waved at him and pointed to the door.

"But I was talking to you first Hermione, it is not fair that I leave and he stays." He growled.

Malfoy flared his nostrils. Hermione notice it.

"Guys! Stop it please, just both of you leave, is that better?" She impatiently spoke.

"Absolutely! Bye Granger and Mickey." Draco said and walked away with his hands in his pockets up the stairs.

Hermione watched him leave and didn't notice Micah still behind her.

I can't believe he touched me!

Oh Hermione for Merlin's sake forget about it.

But when does Draco come up to me and say 'hi' and touch me? She fought with her inner demon.

Micah watched her looking at Draco.

Don't worry soon she will forget about that annoying brat and be glued to me. He assured himself.

" Hermione, Hermione?" He said calmly and softly.

Hermione turned to him, "Micah, I said both of you to leave. So please do."

"But Hermione I was talking to you first, and that rude boy interrupted us. So I think that I should stay and we continue our conversation." He quickly spoke.

"Look!" She growled. "Micah, I don't want to talk right now and I need to get to my lesson."

He looked at her, she was perfectly fine before what happened now? He thought.

"I will see you around right?" He asked, while looking at her hair, her eyes and thinking how a girl like her hasn't fallen to his feet like the others.

"Yeah whatever. Bye." She muttered. She made her way to 'Hogwarts History'.

She notice Ron and Harry and ran to them, "So how was the meeting?"

"Meeting? What meeting?" Harry asked suddenly. While looking at Hermione and then to Ron.

"The meeting which you guys left me to go to, remember?" She said, as she eyed the two up.

"OH! That Quidditch meeting?" Ron boomed.

"Yes, it err, um went well." He lied and fidgeted with his glasses' frame.

"Ok. That's good then." She spoke.

The three of them entered the room and sat in their assigned places.

Harry was with Pansy and Dean.

Ron was beside Hannah and Lavender.

And Hermione..

For Merlin sake, I have to seat between Malfoy and Micah. Great and absolutely great.

Draco took a seat beside and Hermione and ignored her until Micah came through and smiled at Hermione.

"Ok, class. Today we are going to learn about how Hogwarts was given its name, so please pay attention…." He blabbed on and on.

Micah looked at Draco and then Hermione and winked.

That cheeky git! That's what I do to Hermione and Hermione only!

Hermione blushed and lowered her face so no one could see her red burning hot cheeks.

"Okay so the people who you are sitting next to are going to be your partners for 2 weeks for the project! So please note that you will come up and deliver your speech on how Hogwarts has its name." Professor Binns informed everyone.

This can't be great, I have to work with two people I don't like and don't like each other. This is going to be a hard frustrating two weeks.

Draco came close to Hermione's ear and whispered, "Hello, partner."

Hermione shivered, maybe from the warm breath or that she had to work with two people that would at any moment draw out their wands and duel with each other. "Yeah." She muttered.

Micah studied the way Draco would unexpectedly whisper in Hermione's ear and she would forget about her thought and focus on his words.

Soon classed finished and so did all their other lessons, Hermione didn't wait for Ron and Harry and ran it to her dormitory to find her redheaded friend Ginny.

"Ginny, I have a massive problem!" She worriedly whispered.

Ginny looked her and patted the available space next to her, Hermione sat down and took in deep breaths.

"What is Mione?" She asked.

"I have to work with Malfoy and Portus." She sulked, she didn't get to finish as Ginny squealed at this news.

"And what is so bad about that Hermione?" She demanded, as she wanted to know why her friend wasn't has excited as her.

"Everything." She whined. "They have so many fights when I talk to one another and they can't work together!" She told Ginny what happened earlier before.

Hermione had gone red as she kept thinking what the outcome could be of this; she could get a low level or they don't even complete the work.

"Hermione, are you really stupid?" She question.

"No." She told Ginny.

"Don't you see it Hermione?" She squeaked.

Hermione shrugged her shoulders and had her eyes intently fix at Ginny.

"They fight when they see you talk to another, they annoy each other." She looked at Hermione to see if she caught on yet! "Bloody hell! Hermione they both like you!"

Hermione face flushed in pink and couldn't speak.
