Chapter 7: Knight in Shining Armor
"Mother that's horrible!" Rose gasped. Hermione chuckled.
"Yes it was dear," she chuckled and let out a cough. She held her hand to her throat and took a sharp breath in. Rose watched her loved mother with pitying eyes.
"Draco Malfoy seems like a horrible person," Rose said.
"He was. Yes he was horrible. But people change Rose," the old women said stretching her limp arm to the water glass on the bedside table. She shakily brought it to her lips and took a short sip. Rose took the glass from her stressed hand and set it gently back down on the table. "Always give people a second chance," the old women hoarsely spoke.
"Everyone can change; it just matters when and why,"

I looked down again to see my yellow tank top thinning. Now the entire potions class was watching in shock. This was by far the worst day of my life.
"You fucking git!" I screeched throwing myself at Malfoy. All I wanted to do was claw his eyes out! But a strong pair of arms grabbed me an inch before my fist met Malfoy's smug face. It was Connor.
"It's not worth it Hermione." He said pulling me out of the room. I struggled at first in hopes of giving Malfoy a full makeover, but I gave into his strong hold. Once we were out in the hall I looked down to see my shirt nearly gone. I groaned.
"Fucking bloody fuck," I murmured. Malfoy was a dead man. No he was beyond a dead man he was a tortured, beheaded, fugly dead ferret! Connor undid his school robe and draped it over my shoulders, securing it around me. Malfoy was in deep shit. After this he won't be able to walk again I'll, I'll…
The moment Connor and I met eyes my mind lost all trace of Malfoy. I looked back into his deep hazel eyes. They were just so gorgeous I could stare into them all day… He flashed me a smile and looked down breaking the eye contact.
"Malfoy's foul," Connor said fixing the coat on me seeing as it started to slip off from his much larger size. My stomach went to the circus the moment he touched me. He stepped away and stuck his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah. He sure does know how to ruin someone's day," I said. He sure knew how to annoy the shit out of someone, in better words.
"Thanks Connor," I said flashing him a smile. He really did help me. Otherwise I would have probably gotten my Heads privileges taken away for killing Malfoy and my shirt would be gone… neither was good. Wait… that's what Malfoy wanted. He wanted me to hit him. He wants me to hit him so I get my Head duties taken away! No way was that ever going to happen again, I could never lose control.
"No problem," Connor smiled. Once again my mind flushed Malfoy away and I focused on Connor. He had just saved me from possibly the worst day of my high school career. He was my knight in shining armor.
"That's the second time you saved me today," I said catching his stunning eyes. He laughed and grinned back. He was the nicest guy I have ever met. No one has ever done anything that nice for me. Even Harry or Ron.
Just like they knew I was thinking about them, Ron burst into the hallway with Harry lagging behind him.
"What the bloody hell was that?!" Ron asked gesturing to the classroom.
"What do you mean what the bloody hell was that? Malfoy spilt Centaur Acid on me, and I had a-a clothing malfunction." I said blushing slightly. A clothing malfunction, great choice of words Hermione.
"Yeah I know we… saw," Harry said quietly behind Ron. Ron turned around and glared at him. What was Ron's problem? He was acting like a baboon with his head cut off.
"And what's this?" he said lifting up Connor's baggy cloak.
"It's Connor's cloak, he was nice enough to lend it to me," I said. How slow was he? I looked over at Connor who was nervously fidgeting at my side.
"Oh well you can use mine," Ron said starting to take his off.
"No Ronald I'm fine. Connors will do fine," I said looking at him oddly. He needs to stop flipping out so much. It is getting fairly annoying. Ron glowered at Connor. I glared at him back.
"Well we need to finish our potion," Harry said stepping in behind Ron. He shot me a look that seemed apologetic and pulled Ron behind him. After they were gone I turned back to Connor.
"Sorry about Ron, I don't know what has gotten into him." I said.
"It's alright. So, do you want to finish the potion with me or go back to your dorm and change?" he asked. I walkedd past Connor and into the potions room. Snape was at his desk trying to ignore the previous incident. I scanned the room to see Malfoy in the middle of the room facing away from me snickering with his Slytherin clones. I glanced at the clock. We only had fifteen minutes or so. I wanted to change badly. Then a brilliant thought came to my mind.
"If you don't mind I'm going to go to dormitories, but I want to do something first," I said with a smirk. I marched up behind Malfoy and grabbed a handful of his trousers. With a hard tug his trousers fell to the ground revealing red heart boxers.
"What the-"he yelled whipping around and looking at his trousers on the ground.
"Oops,"I scoffed. The entire class burst out in laughter. I blissfully walked out of the Potions room ignoring Snape's deduction of Gryffindor house points. It was worth it.
A/N: Ok so Hermione got her little revenge... mwahaha. So you guys are probably thinking the Centaur Acid was totally random, but at school the other day I sat on Acid and there was a hole in my pants. So that's where I got the idea :]
I got the pantsed idea from a review from AriesGirl40's review. I DO take advice from reviews seriously so don't be afraid to leave an idea or opinion. Thanks a ton!
Love always,
