A/N: AND I'M BACK!!! Sorry I took so long… :P anyway I had an awesome holiday, so I'm ready to continue my story haha OH yes and there's a new character being introduced in this chapter, although that section has nothing to do with the movie. But yes. Just to make it at least a BIT original you know?
Last time: Hermione gets some lessons on what to do to make Draco fall in love with her, and she finally gets his attention. Blaise also tried to ask her out, before being interrupted by the one and only draco Malfoy.
Hmm… I don't really know if I would have actually gone out with Blaise. He is a nice guy, definitely, but wouldn't that get in the way of the plans? ANYWAY. How was the plan going to work, with Malfoy so pissed off at me? I never should have said no to the truce. DAMN!
I walked into the Hall, and sat down with Lavender. I looked across the room at Malfoy, who was on his cell phone again. Stupid Malfoy with his stupid muggle insults and he's still using that stupid muggle object. Wait, scratch that last bit.
I finished my breakfast quickly, and headed towards Potions.
I walked into the classroom. The professor wasn't there yet, so everyone was just talking. I dropped all my books next to Blaise, and sat down.
"Hey Blaise!" I said happily.
"Hey," he replied, seemingly distant. I frowned. As I started to say something, the professor walked in. Damn.
"Okay, class, today we will be ending our muggle chemistry work. Next week we will start on making… blah – blah – blah"
I wasn't really listening to the rest of it, just doodling in my book. I already knew how to do all this muggle chemistry.
"So everybody got that?" the professor asked. Mumbles coming from all boys and girls from the classroom sounded a "Yes".
"Hey, Hermione, you know how we were talking this morning after we hit each other?" Blaise suddenly asked.
"Yeah?" I asked back.
"Well, I was just wondering, you know, if there was like a Witch Sisters concert, or you know, something else, like NEAVE or whatever… I could let you know about it, and we could you know, get some, you know, tickets?" he said. Boy, he said "you know" heaps of times.
I was about to say okay when a boy from 4th year came up to me, holding a bunch of white roses.
"What are you doing in here?" the professor asked. "You don't belong to this class!"
The boy shrugged, and started to walk out. I smelt the roses, and when I lifted my head back up, I saw four more boys with a bunch of white roses each. They handed them to me, and another about six boys came in through the door holding bouquets.
More and more started to pour through the door, while the professor was yelling, "Hey, you don't belong here! What are your names?"
Suddenly, a voice came over the loudspeakers. Three guesses who's it was. Malfoy.
"Hermione, give me a call sometime. My number is 555-4349. 555-4349." I just smiled. All around me, I could see the girls in my class grabbing anything to write on and with, and scribbling down the number.
I glanced at Blaise, who smiled weakly at me, looking a bit shot down.
The class went on, with my bouquets of white roses all over the floor, and all the girls in my class looking at them enviously.
I opened my planner, where I wrote all my notes in, and saw a slip of paper come out. I picked it up, unfolded it, and read it.
Meet us in the library during free period - Cho
I shrugged, and then nodded, waiting until the class was over.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I headed into the library after putting my books into my common room, feeling weird because for the first time, I wasn't in the library to study or read, I was actually here to meet someone.
I looked around, not seeing anyone, so sat down at a table not doing anything. Madam Pince was starting to look at me suspiciously. I knew I should have brought along some books to hide. She started to walk over, when I heard a soft "Psst…" coming from one of the bookshelves.
I immediately stood up and headed towards them, and didn't turn back to look. I saw all four of the girls standing there, and we greeted each other.
"This way," Cho whispered.
We all followed her to the back of the library, where she lifted out a book and pressed a small red button. The bookcase sprang to life, moved out of the way, and let us through. As soon as we had walked through, it closed again.
There was a small, seclusive room that was dimly lit. It had computers and gadgets all over the place, and books scattered all over the place.
I opened my book bag, and pulled out four bouquets of white roses. There was now nothing left in my bag.
"Here you guys, something for being my friends," I said, grinning.
"Where did you get these from?" Pansy asked, while the rest nodded.
"Malfoy. Didn't you hear today on the loudspeakers? He practically asked me out," I said, amazed at how much I was turning into the girls in front of me.
"NO WAY!" they cried.
"Yep," I replied proudly.
"Hmmm…" a noise came from Cho.
"What?" I asked.
"Today's the last day of school before our four day break for Halloween," Cho said.
"Haha, still surprises me that Dumbledore let us have a holiday for Halloween… I wonder who put in that suggestion?" Padma laughed.
"I heard it was Neville Longbottom," Lavender giggled.
We all had a good laugh, and then got back to work.
"I don't think I live near any of you," I said.
"Never mind, we'll continue this when we all get back," Pansy replied.
We all nodded, and left back to our common rooms to unpack.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day, it was time for us to go home. I caught the train with Harry, Ron and Ginny, who didn't seem to want to talk to me. We sat in an awkward silence, looking around, before I whispered goodbye and left. As soon as I left, I heard them start talking excitedly about Quidditch, obviously something that the boys never liked talking to me about.
I walked around the train until I found my new friends. When they saw me, they smiled and welcomed me. That's what I called friends. I think.
Before I knew it, we had reached home. I hugged goodbye to everyone, and greeted my mum and dad.
"How's school been?" they asked.
"Okay," I replied. We just talked about school for the rest of the drive home, as well as friends and stuff. Of course I didn't tell them about not really being friends with Harry and Ron and all them anymore.
We finally got home, and after bringing my things upstairs to my room, I yelled to my parents, "I'm going to the park, MUM!"
"ALRIGHT but BE CAREFUL!" my mum yelled back from downstairs. I ran down the stairs and out the door, getting on my bike and riding to the park. I never noticed it before, but riding with a skirt on is REALLY difficult.
I got to the park, before sitting on the swings, dragging my feet through the warm sand.
"Hey," I heard a male voice say. I turned and looked towards the voice. It was a hot guy, a REALLY hot guy. He had the bluest of blue eyes, I could have just stared at them for days, and he had messy, honey coloured hair. Similar to my hair colour, except a bit darker.
"Hey?" I replied. The boy sat down on the next swing.
"What's your name?" he asked me.
"Hermione, Hermione Granger," I replied.
"Nice name. Never heard it anywhere before. I'm Draco." He said.
The first thing that came to mind was Malfoy. Naturally.
"What?" I said dumbly, starting to get up.
"Draco. Draco Le Feu." He said slower. I sighed in relief, sitting back down on the swing.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing, I just know someone with that name. We don't get along very well. Actually, saying that we don't get along very well is a bit of an understatement," I said.
"Oh, okay, well I do hope that we'll get along well," he said, grinning. He looked so sweet when he grinned.
"Erm… so why did your parents decide to call you that name?" I asked.
"Oh, it's a silly story. My parents have this weird belief that magic is real and they are totally obsessed with dragons, so yeah." Draco looked a bit wary when he talked about the magic thing. Hmm…
He added onto the end, "My last name Le Feu means fire. In French. Umm.. it means fire. Meaning… Dragon Fire. I think."
"Are you a muggle?" I asked softly. If he wasn't, then I would make up something to cover it up. If he said he was, then good.
"Are you?" he asked back.
"You tell me first," I said.
"Okay, I am a wizard."
"I'm a witch!" I replied excitedly. "I go to Hogwarts, you?"
"Durmstrang," he said.
"Oh… no wonder I don't know you," I said. He nodded, smiling.
"Anyway, I have four days off from school because of Halloween, why don't you have any school?" I asked him.
"Same at Durmstrang. Apparently some boy at Hogwarts came up with the suggestion," he replied. I giggled nervously, thinking of Neville.
"Anyway, I think my parents will be wondering where I am, so I should get going. Umm… I'll owl you!" I said.
"Sure!" he replied. We got up from the swings, saying goodbye to each other, and head off in different directions.
He seemed like a nice guy, but whenever I thought of him, I thought of Malfoy! Stupid Malfoy.
I got home, as the sun was setting, and walked through the door. To my surprise, Lavender, Pansy, Padma and Cho were inside.
"Honey, some friends of yours are here to see you!" my mum called.
"Okay," I replied.
"So what's up?" I asked.
Yep… new character… anyway, he might not seem like he's going to be important in the story, and the truth is, I don't think he is… haha anyway review!!
