Chapter four: Prefect duties

There were faces all around her, all laughing. She made to run but flew backwards as a snake came towards her. She continued to back away, and the snake kept getting closer. . . closer. . .untill. . . . . .

"Hermione!"

Her eyes futtered open and she sat up with a start, clutching her chest.

"HERMIONE!" Ron yelled up the girls dormitory steps.

Realizing it was all just a dream she scrambled up. "Yes, what is it?" her voice carried down to the common room.

"Oh good you've awoken. Come on were going to be late for Potions! Not that I really mind, but snape will be all over us, so hurry up."

" My gosh, I've over slept!" she said flinging her closet open and searching vigorously for something to wear.

Ten minutes later Hermione arrived down stairs, with her hair wet and her robe hanging off of her.

"Why'd you have to take a shower? Now were really going to be late." Ron asked

"Ron for once in your life get over yourself. Damn, can we just go?" she said still thinking of the weird dream, she awoke from.

Ron and Harry stared at her, speechless. Since when did Hermione have such a big attitude?

Noticing the hurt looks on Ron and Harry's faces she sighed. "Look I'm sorry guy's, I had a rough night filled with weird dreams, let's just go to class I'll be normal later on.

With that said, the three of them began to walk to class. They soon found they weren't the only one's late.

"Well I think the worlds turned over, do you mean to say, that our own good Hermione Granger is late for class?" Malfoy said spotting them at the end of the corridor.

Hermione barely heard him, she hadn't forgotten what had happened. Looking down she could still feel his warm body pressed against her, like a lost lamb.

When she came back to her sences she saw that Malfoy and Harry had their wands pointed at eachothers hearts. She quickly ran between them and said to Harry. "It's not worth it, this is my battle not yours."

He backed away rather reluctantly, then Hermione turned to Draco. "No more, just stop this nonsence. We are going to class now, so if you'll excuse us?" Without awaiting an answer she whipped around, nose in the air, and marched into Snapes dungeon room.

"Well well well. I see that a few of our Gryffindors decided they had something better to do then come to class. Five points each from Gryffindor, may that be a lesson to you all." Snapes voice roared all around the room.

Then Draco walked in.

"Sir I beg you to forgive my lateness, for I was trying ot get here on time, but was delayed by them." He pointed out Harry and Ron, but he didn't point out Hermione. "They tried to attack me, luckily I'm smarter then they reckoned."

Snape seemed to take that as a firm excuse, for he nodded his head, and class began.

When classes were finally over, Hermione, Ron and Harry, (A/N: yezz for once Harry's name is last, Muahaha) walked back to the common room.

"Eplorimus unum" Hermione said as they came to the Fat lady picture. They were about to go in, when Malfoy walked up to them.

"What do you want now?" Ron growled

"Don't look so happy to see me Weasley." he sneered. "Actually I came to see Granger."

"And what, may ask did you want with me?" Hermione asked, feeling a blush creep up her face.

"Oh believe me it's not something I suggested, Granger. We have Prefect duties remember?" he retorted.

"Damn it" she said aloud, without meaning to.

"You should learn to watch your tongue Mudblood!" Malfoy said coldly

Ron and Harry were about to say something, but Hermione cut them off.

"And you, ferret boy, should learn not to use so much hair grease, it messes with your brain cells I should think." Without another glance his way, she began to walk their usual patrol route.

Harry and Ron burst into a fit of giggles and walked into the common room.

"Women" Draco whispered, then he ran to catch up with Hermion. "Wow Hermione I think that went straight to my heart."

"What heart?"

"Ooooh touchie touchie! What's the problem, guy trouble?" he asked smirking.

Hermione whipped around. "My problem? It's you for goodness sake. One second your crying all over me like a sick puppy and the next, your acting like a bad ass!" she covered her mouth realizing someone could have easily over heard.

Malfoy started coming towards her, closer. . . and. . .closer. (A/N:Doesn't this sound familiar?) Then he wrapped his hand around her neck. "I thought I told you not to say anything?!"

Hermione's scared face made Malfoy back away again. "Look I just. . .I don't need other people finding out."

She relaxed a little and looked at him sadly. "I'm not trying to tell anyone Malfoy, really. Actually I wanted to know something, uhh. . .how exactly did, your Mother die?"

He looked up at her quickly about to yell at her for being so nosey, but decided against it. "She uhh. . .fell down the stairs." he scolded himself for saying something so dishonorable about his mum. When he knew she fought to stay alive, just like she fought to keep him alive all these years.

Malfoy was shaken out of his thoughts, by Hermione's hand going once again to his shoulder.

"My. . . that's horrible. Ooh your sure I can't do anything?" she asked

He sighed, "Not unless you know a good way to kill someone?!"

"What-?"

"Nothing, it's nothing."

"No wait. You don't wanna kill yourself do you? Don't do it!" she said tears welling upin her eyes.

"Get a hold of yourself Granger!" Malfoy said pulling her to him. "I'm not going to kill myself. Geeze."

Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him tight, remembering this wonderful sensation from last time.

Malfoy didn't know how to react. He'd been around plently of girls, been a lot closer to them then this in fact, but this was differen't. Somehow, he didn't know how to react to Hermione.She was just as stubburn as he was.

They heard students coming toward them down the corridor, so Malfoy sprang away, and told her to act natural.

So she did.

"Malfoy you big prat! How dare you call me a Mudblood."

Malfoy not a born acter, had a hard time keeping a straight face as he tried to give her his evil smirk.

When the students left, they fell against the wall with laughter.

"Did you see their faces?" Hermione said.

"Yeah. They actualy believed us!" Malfoy said. Not remembering the last time he laughed. 'Wait a minute' he thought. ' This is a Mudblood, I can't be her friend for goodness sake.'

"Well that was great and all Granger but we have Prefect duties still."

Hermione looked at him coldly and then walked ahead of him. They didn't talk the rest of the time.

OOOOO
