Chapter Four: Thinking

*~*Everyone*~*

Harry and Hermione walked to the Great Hall and sat down next to Ron, who was at the table eating his breakfast.

Hermione began to eat her breakfast when she saw Draco. "Hey Draco" Hermione called He looked over to Harry, Hermione and Ron and he waved. Draco walked over to them and sat down next to Hermione. "Mind if I sit here?" Draco asked Hermione "Nope" Hermione said A group of Hufflepuffs were looking at Draco He stood up and screamed "STOP FUCKING LOOKING AT ME" They started laughing and calling him a whole bunch of nasty names and Hermione looked up and glared at them. She raised an eyebrow and said loud enough for them to hear "pathetic" Draco rolled his eyes and went back to talking to Harry and Ron about Quidditch

(A/N: Draco had decided to go back into the Great Hall to find some of his friends before he had to go to class)

Hermione sat there, uninterested in Quidditch, but instead was sitting there staring at Harry *Harry is so wonderful, he's such a great person too.* Hermione had tuned out the conversation on Quidditch and decided to wallow in her thoughts of Harry.

After about 20 minutes the group got up and walked out of the Great Hall together Gryffindors and Slytherins had Potions first thing in the morning. Harry and Hermione departed from the group and went back to their quarters to get their book. They hurried along as Ron and Draco went to get their books too. They rushed to potions and got a table together. Harry and Ron planned on being partners, partly because Ron had a Transfiguration essay to finish and Harry usually did all the work. Draco and Hermione were partners because Hermione didn't want to work with Parvati and Draco didn't want to have to work with Pansy so they decided on each other. Besides, Draco was very fond of Hermione.

Snape was horrible as ever. He kept glaring at Hermione and Draco and at one point he came over and stared contently and them working. Draco looked up smiled, and then what-do-ya know, he flicked Snape off. (A/N: HAHA) Snape stood there, glaring at Draco's head as he got back to work on their potion. The bell rang and Hermione began putting away their supplies while Draco cleaned up. Harry and Ron were still fighting down laughs from when Draco flicked the professor off.

"Mr. Malfoy, I will chose to ignore that small gesture that you made today during my class" Snape said glaring at Draco

"And I professor Snape, chose to ignore that you were glaring with disgust at my partner and I" Draco said glaring right back at Snape.

Draco began walking towards the door and Snape called "Mr. Malfoy." Draco turned and looked at the slimy git. "Watch it" Snape said with hate in his eyes Draco smirked "You too" he called laughing as he left the classroom.

Hermione was waiting outside. "DRACO!!!" "Yea, 'Mione" "I cant believe that you did that to Snape" "Oh." Harry and Ron were standing there laughing and Draco couldn't hold back anymore. He burst out laughing and he, Harry and Ron laughed for about ten minutes and Hermione just stood there. When they finally calmed down, Hermione said "Draco, I still cannot believe that you flicked a teacher off." "Oh well, Snape's a slimy assmuch of a git" "I gotta give ya props for that one Draco" Harry said still grinning. "Alright, Alright" Hermione said smiling.

Together they walked into the Great Hall. Draco, for some odd reason, decided to sit at the Gryffindor table today, rather than Slytherin. They sat down together and began eating lunch. "Draco, what class do you have next?" Harry asked Draco, through bites of food. "Free Period" Draco said, sipping his pumpkin juice. "Us too" Ron said "Funny" Hermione said, not looking up from the book she was reading. "What is it 'Mione?" Harry asked rather interested. "Well, we all have the same schedule" Hermione said, still not looking up from her book. "Well. I meant to tell you all sooner, but." Draco said reluctantly "What is it?" Ron asked "I tried on the Sorting Hat again, and it put me in Gryffindor" Draco said unsurely "That's wonderful" said Hermione, closing her book. *~*Harry*~* *I didn't realize that Draco finally went light, probably because that wicked father of his died, finally, he couldn't have died soon enough. Draco probably came over to the light side to save his ass* Harry sat there contently.

Hermione seemed pleased. As did Ron. Draco looked really happy too. Harry however smiled but in his eyes Hermione could tell he was thinking about something.

"Well, I'm going to go back to the common room Harry, You guys want to come?" Hermione asked as she stood up grabbing her books and her bag.

Draco and Harry got up leaving Ron at the table. "Coming dude?" Harry asked. "naw, still got some transfiguration stuff to do, gotta go to the library" Ron said looking blue.

Draco and Harry made their way to the common room mostly following the taping of Hermione's high heels hitting the stone floor. They got to the common room and sat down. Hermione got some books from her room and began to work on some stuff while Draco and Harry furthered their earlier discussion of Quidditch.

*~*Hermione*~*

She sat on the floor writing in her journal, while Harry and Draco thought she was doing schoolwork.

'Oh dear! I cannot live being so in love with Harry. It's so hard. I really wish I knew what he really thought of me. It's so important to me, I don't know why though. I just. its like I want and need him to love me the way that I do. I don't know I am just so confused. Ah well.'

Hermione got up and went out on the balcony. Draco followed her out telling Harry, he needed some fresh air.

"Mione, what's the matter?" he asked as he watched her stand there looking down.

"I need to know how Harry feels about me. I'm dying to know. It's so unnerving. I don't know what to do with myself. Hermione sighed.

"Don't worry Mione, I'll take care of it." Draco said, pulling Hermione into a hug.
