Well, here it is! I present to you to chapter 8!


An Unexpected Addition

Draco's POV

I was eating dinner in the Great Hall and was fuming. Weasley was a fool! I was debating whether to visit Hermione in the girls lavatories. I decided against it. It would be gross and girls had cooties, but that didn't mean that I didn't get revenge on the Weasel. I tripped him with a tripping jinx. He broke his wrist, but got it mended. At least I got some damage. I knew he made Hermione fell bad. Hermione had been thinking she failed Mother's and Father's plans.

"Troll!" someone said. I was snapped back into reality.

I panicked. What if Hermione was in trouble?

"Troll in the dungeon!" I turned at the voice. It was Quirrell. Hermione and I didn't like him. Hermione said that she knew that there was more to him. She also said that she didn't believe one bit that his stuttering was real. One time she even joked that the Dark Lord was possessing him. I asked how she thought about that. She responded by saying that it randomly popped in her head.

"Everyone please report to your common rooms." Dumbledore said. That manipulative bastard, he thought Potter was a fool believing that Dumbledore was the "good guy" It was obvious that Dumbledore was selfish. He only wanted power, and when the Dark Lord came along he wanted to vainish him because he didn't like sharing power. After he said that, everyone rushed to their common rooms. I tried to get out of the group of Slytherins that were pushing me, but I couldn't. Once we were in the common room I couldn't get out to search for Hermione because that would make everyone suspicious.

"You know, I wish that the mudblood would die." Parkinson said. I knew Parkinson was talking about Hermione. I snapped like Hermione did, I turned and walked to my dormitory. Once I got there I threw and broke everything. After I was done I fixed everything with a simple Reparo. I walked to my bed and laid there. Father and Mother would kill me if something happened to Hermione. After what I thought was 2 hours my roommate came in. My roommates were Crabbe, Goyle, Nott, and Zabini. I heard that they said that Hermione was safe. Well, they didn't say it like that. They said that they were a bit mad that the mudblood escaped the troll. I wasn't offended when they said mudblood, because I was already falling asleep. I will have to talk to her tomorrow I thought before falling into a deep sleep.


Hermione's POV

It was a troll, I wasn't exactly scared of it, but I couldn't fight it alone without killing it. If I did that would be suspicious to everyone. Luck was with me today, I heard voices. I looked at the door and saw Potter and Weasley. Perfect! Maybe I could befriend them like this. "Look out!" shouted Weasley. No duh. It's not like I didn't see the big troll in front of me I thought. Weasley could be such an idiot sometimes. For the next 10 minutes we were fighting the troll until Weasley knocked him out with the troll's cub. Then we all heard footsteps. Potter, Weasley and I turned around and we saw Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Quirrell, I narrowed my eyes at him. He saw that and he stared at me as if it was a staring competition.

"Explain yourselves!" demanded Professor Mcgonagall. She was the only person that I liked and respected in this school. I liked the way she acted and how she handled situations. I also respected her because I knew she would be important to me later on. I looked away from Quirrell when I saw Weasley and Potter were about to say something, but I said something first. "It was my fault, Professor. I read about them and I thought I could take it down. I was wrong, but luckily Harry and Ron saved me. If they didn't I would be dead by now." I lied. Harry and Weasley looked surprised, but they didn't say anything. "Very well, Miss Granger. Five points from Gryffindor." she said. I was surprised but I didn't let it show. Just five points? I thought. Oh well, I guessed it helps that I'm a Gryffindor. Professor Mcgonagall then turned to Harry and Weasley. I decided that I would call him Harry again instead of Potter. I think that I would always call Weasley, well Weasley, but when I talk to him I'll call him Ron. "Five points to Gryffindor. I give you five because it was brave of you to to save a classmate while also putting your on life at risk." Professor McGonagall said to the both of them. "More like reckless." I heard Snape say, but I ignored him. I noticed that he had a scratch on his leg. When he saw that I noticed he covered his leg. Professor McGonagall then shooed us away.

While we were walking to the common room, Harry asked, "Did you see that scratch on Snape's leg?'' "Yes, I did." I respond. "I think that the dog we saw on the third floor corridor was what do that to Snape. I saw him walking in that direction when we were looking for you." Harry said. "I think your right Harry." I replied. That made sense, but I couldn't figure out what he wanted from there. I would have to investigate that too.

Once I got to the staircase that led to the girls dormitories, I heard Weasley said, "I'm sorry for being rude to you." he said while blushing. I noticed that, "I accept your apology." I said. This was going to be fun to mess with Weasley's feelings. I know that's is cruel, but life isn't fair. Also, this was only for entertainment, since I don't get much of that in my life. I fell on my bed when I got to the dormitories. I saw that all of my roommates were fake sleeping. I closed my blinds around my bed. They're horrible actors, and much too noisy I thought. I just lay there and after about five minutes I fell asleep.


The next day when I walked to the portrait to get out the common room. I saw Harry and Weasley waiting there. Probably to escort me. I thought. "Hullo, let's go." I said. They followed me like lovesick puppies, while I didn't like that, I did like being in control. "Are we friends now?" I asked them while we were walking to the Great Hall for breakfast. "Of course, Hermione!" Harry said. I smiled, mission complete. I noticed that Weasley was nodding. Time to take action I thought. I brushed my hand against his. He blushed brighter than his hair. I wasn't done yet, "Thanks Harry!' I said and kissed him on the cheek. Harry blushed and Weasley was fuming instead of blushing. This was fun although I was making my intentions clear with Harry. He knew we were only were friends. I didn't say anything to Weasley. I let him think what he wanted.

Once we got to the Great Hall I sat in the between of them. I kept brushing my hand against Weasley. Who would always blush when I did that. The Daily Prophet was dropped in front of us. We read the front article, but there was nothing interesting. I was skimming the Prophet when something caught my eyes. I read it to Harry and Weasley. It was about someone trying to break into a vault at Gringotts and after I was done reading it Harry said something that I thought was suspicious. He said that vault was the one that Hagrid the gamekeeper took something out of when he was visiting Gringotts. I couldn't help but think what was in there thing was. After we were done eating we still had 30 minutes of breakfast left until classes started. I felt my bracelet get warm. I looked up and across the Great Hall. I saw Draco, he jerked his head towards the entrance. I got the message and nodded. "Guys, I'm going to go to the restroom. You guys can go and get to class.'' I said and rushed out of the Hall without wait for their replies.

"How did it go?" Draco asked once we were in the Room of Requirement. He asked casually, but i could see the worry in his eyes. "I escaped as you can see. Harry and Weasley helped me. We're friends now." I said

"Why are you friends with them?" whined Draco.

"You know why, so stop complaining." I demanded.

Draco huffed, but did stay quiet.

After 30 seconds of silence, we started to talk about random things.

10 minutes till 9 we went our separate ways, even though we had Defence against the Dark Arts together.


Soooo, I finished chapter 8. I don't like it. I think it was a bit sloppy, but I did put in my best effort in.
