I don't have anything really clever to say in regards to I don't own Harry Potter. By the way, I don't own Harry Potter. If I did I wouldn't be writing fanfiction.

Jess slowly made her way back into her own room. She stalled as much as possible. After all tomorrow was Saturday and she'd have all the time in the world to spend with Malfoy. If she wanted to that is, which she certainly didn't. In fact when Saturday rolled around Jess was either in the library or with Hermione, Ron and Harry the entire day. Malfoy was either avoiding her, and her friends, avoiding Pansy, or with Crabbe and Goyle. They had Care for Magical Creatures on Monday. Nothing exciting happened. Tuesday they had no classes together. Which Jess of course was happy about. Wednesday on the other hand.

Jess woke up on Wednesday morning a little later. She quickly grabbed her clothes for the day and walked to the bathroom. The shower could be heard running on the other side. "Great" Jess groaned. Malfoy was in the shower. She was already running late and needed a shower as well. Jess began banging on the door. "Hurry up!" No response came, except for the turning off of the shower. Well at least that was a good sign. In five minutes the door would open and Jess could take her shower…

Fifteen minutes later Malfoy was still in the bathroom. What was he doing in there? Jess banged on the door again.

"Malfoy, hurry up! I have to get in there!" Jess sighed, knowing that she was going to be late. No response came from the other side of the door.

Malfoy was busy doing his hair. One piece in particular was being rather difficult. It kept sticking out. Malfoy had been trying to tame this one piece of hair. It finally was staying in place. Malfoy removed his hand. "There!" A second later it stuck back up out of place. He growled and pushed it back down into place.

Twenty minutes had gone by now since Jess first knocked on the door. "Did he die or something? It would make my life easier that's for sure." She looked at her watch and noticed her Transfiguration class was going to start in ten minutes. She knocked harder on the door. "Malfoy! Hurry up! Class starts in ten minutes and I need to get in there! NOW!"

Malfoy's rebellious piece of hair was staying in place now. He tightened the towel around his waist and slowly opened the bathroom door.

"About time! What were you doing in…" Jess was cut off at the sight of Malfoy. He stood before her in nothing else but a towel that was securely around his waist. Not to mention his platinum blonde hair was styled perfectly. Her cheeks instantly turned red as she gaped at Malfoy. His chest was bare and somewhat toned. I had always thought he would be scrawny. I guess Quidditch toned him up, she thought to herself quietly. She didn't dare say what she thought. That Malfoy… Actually looked… Hot.

Malfoy raised an eyebrow at her flushed cheeks. "You like what you see?" His infamous smirk played on his lips.

"Uh…" Jess quickly walked passed him and into the bathroom.

"Well you can't have any of it." Malfoy walked back into the bedroom. His smirk not leaving his face. He would have fun with this.

Jess shut the door and leaned against it. "I have a feeling this is going to be a long day." She was right. She happened to walk in fifteen minutes late in her Transfiguration. McGonagall luckily wasn't in a foul mood. At lunch she bumped into Malfoy. His eyes bore into her. She blushed, thinking back to the mornings events. Hopefully he wasn't mad. The last class of the day was none other than Potions. Jess took a seat in the far back, hoping Snape would forget about making them sit by their partners. Malfoy sat in his usual spot without a care in the world. Snape was sitting in his chair at his desk looking at something. When the bell rang he looked up at the class.

"Miss Anderson. Why would today be different from any other day?" Snape focused his gaze on her.

"What do you mean Professor?" She gulped at the look on his face.

"You have been sitting with your partner everyday. Why would today be different?"

"I don't know…"

"Move to the seat next to Mr. Malfoy."

"Yes professor." Jess grabbed her books and sat down next to Malfoy. She scooted her chair a bit farther away from him, giving her a little space.

Malfoy being one not to miss an opportunity leaned close to her and whispered. "I don't bite."

Jess tried her best to suppress a blush because of the close proximity of Malfoy. Satisfied, Malfoy grinned and sat back up. The class seemed to drag on forever. Once the bell rang, Jess rushed out of the room and into the library. She quickly did some homework. Jess rushed back into her room, bent on just going to bed. Hopefully, Malfoy wasn't there. She opened the door and set her books down. Sure enough Malfoy was in one of the chairs reading for Potions. He looked up from his reading and smirked. He wasn't going to let this die anytime soon.

"What?" He said innocently while looking at her.

"What?" She replied, not wanting to deal with him right now.

"I asked first."

"Leave me alone!" Jess stalked off into the bedroom and grabbed her pajama's. Just as she finished, Malfoy walked into the room.

"What are you doing?" One of his eyebrows was raised.

"What does it look like?" Jess put her dirty clothes where they belonged.

"Its too early to go to bed. Why don't you take a shower?" Malfoy had to suppress himself from laughing out loud.

Jess turned around not facing him. He was being a complete jerk. He knew that experience this morning had made her extremely uncomfortable, and he was just playing on that. "Just go bother someone else." She crawled into her bed. All she wanted to do was sleep and forget about the day.

"Suit yourself." Malfoy left the room with an accomplished look on his face. He had embarrassed her and made her feel completely stupid. Malfoy then went to dinner.

Jess slept through all of dinner. She didn't want to chance seeing Malfoy again.

Hermione looked all around the table. There was no sign of Jess. "This isn't like her."

"Malfoy probably did something to her." Ron muttered while looking over at the Slytherin table. Malfoy was perfectly happy, laughing at the suspense of some poor student a few years younger than himself.

"Maybe she's studying." Hermione suggested. "We do have an Arithmancy test at the end of the week."

"I still think its Malfoy's fault somehow. What do you think Harry?"

Harry looked up from his food. "Its probably nothing Ron." Ron mumbled and stuffed a piece of carrot in his mouth.

Thursday morning Jess woke up refreshed. Her stomach was making noises. "I slept through all of dinner." She rubbed her eyes and got dressed. The smell of breakfast was welcoming to her, having not eaten in at least twelve hours. Jess grabbed a cinnamon roll and began eating. Shortly then after Hermione, Ron and Harry came in. Hermione noticed Jess and rushed over.

"Hey, we didn't see you at dinner yesterday, is everything alright?" Her brown eyes were filled with worry.

"I'm fine. Just had a bit of an issue with Malfoy, yesterday. Nothing to worry about." Jess smiled as she grabbed her pumpkin juice.

"Oh, alright." Hermione sat down next to her. "Do you want to study together for our Arithmancy test we have tomorrow?"

"Sure that would be nice. How about right after dinner?"

"Sure, I need to go to the library and look something up anyway."

"Will you boys be joining us tonight?"

"Sure, if we wouldn't be a bother." Harry said while smiling.

"No, not at all." Jess replied, "how about you Ron?"

"Sure why not. Harry and I can do our Divination reports." Ron grinned while grabbing another piece of toast. The rest of breakfast was rather peaceful. It took Jess' mind off of the incident from the previous morning. She walked off to her first class in a happy mood. Charms, her first class, seemed to go by quickly. Her and Harry worked together while Hermione and Ron were partners. She had a pleasant time talking with Harry. Hardly did they ever talk alone.

"How is working with Parvati?" She asked while making an object float over to her.

"Its alright. She's still not mad about the Yule Ball." Harry shrugged not knowing what else to say.

"Harry, that was two years ago. Do you really think she would stay mad this long?"

"Well, a lot of people made a big deal out of the ball."

"I guess but most people wouldn't still be mad."

"True. You seem to be handling the project well. Most people would have been driven insane by now if they were paired with Malfoy."

"Oh I've been driven insane." She grinned. "I'm just trying to not let him get to me."

"And I'm sure he's trying to purposely annoy you."

"Oh but of course!"

"Don't listen to him, Jess. Most of the things he says are complete lies."

"I know. I have been with him in the same living place for over ten days now."

"You must have strong will power to have not completely lost it."

"I guess so. Don't worry about me Harry."

"I'll try not to but I can't promise anything. Ron's worried about you too."

"I know." Jess looked over at Ron and Hermione. "Hermione too."

"We care, just know that."

"Thanks, Harry. I do know that." She looked back over at Harry and smiled. He returned the smile and the bell rang. The rest of their classes went by just as fast. Harry and Ron went to Quidditch practice after classes and Hermione went to the library. Jess decided to walk around in the halls. She walked by Neville and smiled. Neville dropped the books he was carrying. He secretly liked her. Jess stopped and helped him pick them up.

"I'm not surprised. A squib and a mudblood on the floor. Did you know that I was coming and decided to bow down at my feet?" Malfoy remarked as he stopped by them. Crabbe and Goyle were right behind him, looking as stupid as ever. Jess stood and looked at Malfoy.

"What makes you think you deserve praise? If anyone does it would be Harry." Jess retorted back.

Malfoy's eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you forget who I am, Mudblood"

"No, you're too arrogant and whiny to forget. Although I wish I could."

"I don't think you want to."

"I don't think you know the first that about what a girl would want!" She said a little louder so the people in the corridor could hear. Malfoy's ears began to ever so slightly turn red.

"I know plenty. That is a pureblood I'm talking about. Not some muggle trash." Everyone in the corridor was now looking at the two of them.

"So that's what I am? Muggle trash?"

"You heard me mudblood." Malfoy walked passed her. Crabbe and Goyle followed. She looked as his retreating form in rage. Jess looked over at Neville who was still standing there. He quickly left down the hall. The people in the hall began to move again. Jess sighed and walked back to her room. She worked on her Transfiguration until dinner. Twenty minutes into dinner she shut the book and walked to the Great Hall. Hermione grinned when she came into view.

"Saved you a seat." Hermione scooted towards the left to give her more room.

"Thanks." Jess smiled faintly and sat down. Hermione noticed her expression but didn't pursue it.

"Where are we meeting after dinner?

"Any room but mine." Jess replied while piling some food on her plate.

"How about mine?" Ron spoke up. "Lavender is busy tonight and I'll have the place to myself."

"Sounds great Ron!" Hermione beamed, she was pleased with the arrangement. They ate dinner and then headed up to Ron's room. Just like Ron had stated, Lavender was gone. Hermione insisted on instantly getting to work. Jess had no real problem with it. Ron on the other hand grabbed out a Quidditch book.

"Ron! You should be working on your homework!" Hermione said while cracking open a book.

"Oh, its just Divination, Hermione. Nothing to worry about. Just need to figure out what terrible things will happen to me next month is all." Ron grinned while sitting down.

"How about being trampled by rhinos?" Jess laughed as she looked down at a page in her Arithmancy book.

"Oh, good one Jess! Mind if I use it?" Ron dipped his quill.

"No, go right ahead!"

"Don't encourage him Jess! You should probably actually look in the book, Ron. It might help out." Hermione looked up and was now looking at Ron.

"You know how much of a crack pot Trelawny is, she'll never know the difference." Ron replied while writing being trampled by rhino's on October 15th.

Hermione rolled her eyes and focused back on studying for Arithmancy. After a few hours of rigorous studying they all parted ways, and headed back to their rooms. Friday morning Jess got up early, cramming in a last bit of studying. She looked up at the clock and noticed class would be starting soon. She headed to Arithmancy where Hermione was nose deep into her book. Class soon came to order and the test was given out. The rest of the morning went rather fast. The class they has after Arithmancy was Herbology. At lunch Hermione went on about how she didn't need to study for certain things since they were not on the Arithmancy test. Ron just rolled his eyes and nodded. He knew this drill all to well, since it happened just about every time she took a test.

Jess looked around the hall and noticed Malfoy. He was talking to Pansy about something, when he looked up and noticed Jess looking at him. One of Malfoy's eyebrows raised in curiosity as to why she was looking at him. Since she hadn't spoken to him since Wednesday. Jess looked away and continued listening to Hermione.

"We should plan and do something this weekend." Ron suggested when there was a break in Hermione's monologue. "Monday we are getting the baby's to take care of."

"I forgot about that!" Hermione's face then had a look of deep thought. "I would suggest Hogsmeade, but it isn't a Hogsmeade weekend."

"We could go and visit Hagrid." Harry spoke up. "He's probably wondering why we haven't already."

"That's a great idea, Harry!" Hermione beamed while standing up. "How about tomorrow morning?"

The other three nodded. Lunch soon ended and they headed off to their afternoon classes. Jess came back to her room, glad that it was the weekend. Malfoy was no where to be seen. "Good, hopefully I don't have to see him all weekend." She was still a bit upset about Wednesday morning, and how Malfoy played the event the whole day. After finishing her homework she went down to dinner. Her and her friends talked for a long while, long after dinner was done in the Great Hall. Jess decided to go up to bed early. She was tired from staying up late, studying for her test.

Author's Note: Chapter four is up! I know I've been updating every day but I'm not sure how much longer I will be doing that. As you all probably already know I have to have actual text written up before I type it and then put it on here. While I do have quite a bit written up I don't like to catch up with myself. I'll most likely update tomorrow as well and then after that probably once a week until I have more written up. Good news though, I did manage to write up some today! Well as always, please review!
