A/N: thanx Lain-Xauber and soccerstud for reviewing. This chapter is kind of short but the next one will be longer. And by the way this is still the same flashback that the last chapter ended with.

Chapter 4

The next morning Maggie's alarm clock rang at 5:30. Hermione opened her eyes and looked at the clock. "Are you crazy?!" she said sleepily, "Breakfast isn't for 3 hours. Why are we getting up so early?"

Maggie had to think for a second "Because my hair and makeup take so long!"

Hermione eyed her suspiciously, "No they don't. You always do it with magic. You're a witch. Duh!"

"Well then you can run alone later all by your self. I'm going NOW!"

Hermione groaned, "Oh my god! Fine. I'm coming, just let me get dressed!"

Hermione could tell that her cousin was up to something. Why was she in such a hurry? She went to her trunk and started digging through her clothes, "Oh my God! Where are they? I know I brought them!" Maggie groaned impatiently.

Hermione turned around and smiled at her. "Would you like to tell me why you are in such a big hurry?"

Maggie put an annoyed look on her face. "I'm not! I just get so tired standing around waiting for people, it's exhausting." Hermione rolled her eyes and kept on looking through her trunk.

After watching Hermione search for 5 minutes Maggie couldn't take it any more. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at Hermione's trunk and said, "ACCIO!" The clothes flew out of the trunk. Maggie caught them and threw them to Hermione. Looking very disappointed, Hermione slipped into her running clothes.

Maggie looked at her watch, 5:45, "Come on, Let's go already!"

Hermione looked at her innocently, "I'm really sorry, but, can I go to the bathroom really quick? I'll hurry?"

Maggie rolled her eyes. "Fine! Hurry!" Hermione smiled and walked very slowly into the bathroom.

She was still in there at 6. "Hurry!!" Maggie screamed.

"I am" Hermione called back. At 6:15 Maggie couldn't wait any more. She pulled out her wand,

"ALOHOMORA!"

The door flew open. Hermione sat on the bathroom couch reading a book. "Hermione! What the fuck are you doing?"

Hermione smiled innocently, "Reading? Oh my God, I'm so sorry that I lied. It's just that I was reading this last night and I fell asleep in the middle of this part and I wanted to know what happens."

Maggie just stood there glaring at her and finally said, "Well, I'll leave you to your reading. I'm going running now. Bye." She turned around and walked out of the bathroom, into the common room and out the portrait hole. She heard footsteps behind her and groaned.

She stopped and let Hermione catch up. They walked in silence to the Quidditch field. It was 6:30 when they got there and started doing warm ups.

They both saw somebody coming from the castle. Maggie sighed and glared at Hermione who didn't see her. "I wonder who that could be?" Hermione said curiously. Sure enough, as he got closer, she saw that it was Draco Malfoy.

He stopped in front of them and stood glaring at them, hate in his eyes. "Granger, since when do you run? Are you getting too fat for Weasley?" he sneered and laughed.

Hermione glared at him and turned to Maggie. "Now I understand why you were in such a hurry this morning, it was to avoid him. Who would want to run with him!" She turned to look back at Malfoy with a satisfied look that disappeared when she saw his face. He was laughing. When he finally stopped he put on an evil grin and said,

"That's strange. Me and Maggie run together every morning. We're great friends."

Maggie glared at him and then looked helplessly at Hermione, "That's only partially true," she said, "Malfoy and I run at the same time but defiantly NOT together. And we are not friends. Never. We HATE each other." She gave Malfoy one last hateful glare and turned around and stalked back to the castle.

"Mudblood wanna-be!!" he shouted after her

What's that got to do with being Muggle born? thought Hermione. She rolled her eyes and said to Malfoy, "You are such an ass!"

Malfoy smirked at he,. "Yes," he sneered, "and you...are such a Mudblood!"

Hermione shook her head, "Haha nice comeback. It's getting kind of old though." She turned and followed Maggie.
