A/N: Hellooooo I'm finally back! Here is the next chapter of my precious story, enjoy!
CHAPTER 10: NEW PICTURES, NEW FEELINGS
Hermione made her way to the astronomy Tower when she finally got rid of Malfoy. -That damn slytherin sure was fast- she thought still breathing heavily after running so much.
She was going to give Malfoy a second chance, but was going to need a little more time to assimilate the idea of trying to be friends with him.
But how could she get to bond with the slytherin prince if they didn't have anything in common? The other one enjoyed torturing people. -What kind of sick bastard likes that?-
-Whatever…- It was time to stop thinking about him.
Hermione was getting tired of her new appearance. It made it so difficult to go through Hogwarts trying her best not to screw up. Like that morning, she was so distracted that entered to the girl's bathroom! And it happened four times for crying out loud! It was a relief no one was there or else she'd be in serious trouble.
She was now lying on the floor and humming a song, it was so nice to finally be at piece. No psycho girls trying to get a date and definitely no annoying ferrets trying to make her life miserable. She let out a deep sigh and opened her eyes to admire the beautiful stars above her, but instead, she met with beautiful gray eyes.
-Beautiful? I mean cold and empty…- she thought
-How did you find me?- she asked obviously bothered.
-Getting away from me is not going to be easy Sammuels, you'll need to try harder- He smirked, for some reason he enjoyed bothering the newbie.
-Yeah yeah... whatever you say-
-So… Are you going out with Parkinson?- he asked out of the blue
-As if! I wouldn't go out with that slut even if my life depend on it-
-Then you're not as dumb as you look-
-Hey!- her eyes narrowed slightly.
-We better go, since you claim to be so smart you'll help me with my transfiguration essay- said Draco standing up.
-I don't claim to be, I AM smart- it was Hermione's turn to smirk.
Malfoy rolled his eyes and made his way to the door, but when he turned to look at the boy he noticed he had a black wallet on his hands. A cold chill went through his body as he started to search in his pockets clumsily.
Hermione look at the wallet curiously, it had a DM written at the bottom. She opened it slowly and found a couple of pictures in it. Malfoy was on each of them, in the first one he was in front of Malfoy Manor, in the second one he was with his mother eating what it seemed like a birthday cake, but was the third one that caught her attention.
It was taken without him noticing, in the picture, he was sitting on one of the library tables with a book in his hands, but he was not exactly looking at it.
He was watching something else, but the picture didn't show it. Hermione was surprised; the look on Malfoy's face was totally different than his usual superior glare. There she saw… how could she say it… admiration? Even… affection? Who could he possibly be looking at? Who could have gain Draco Malfoy's interest?
But then again she noticed another picture on the ground, maybe it fell. She knelt eager to see what was in there, but Malfoy's hand snatched away the picture before she could see clearly who was in there.
Malfoy stood in front of her enraged -If you know what's good for you, you better mind your own business, or else you won't last long in this school- the blond said with a harsh voice and walked away leaving a dumbfounded Hermione behind.
It wasn't her intention to embarrass him or anything… she was just curious! He was such a drama queen! She kicked the floor pissed.
The temporary slytherin tried her best to forget about the picture but was all in vain, -Oh come on Hermione! Leave the ferret alone, will you!- Her know it all personality was going to get her in severe problems if she didn't control herself.
–You don't need to know every single thing, Curiosity killed the cat remember? Those sayings are suppose to teach you something!-
- I better find Theo… thinking so much about that ferret is getting me a headache-
When she arrived to the slytherin common room, she looked for "hopefully" her soon to be boyfriend.
–Hey Theo- she greeted in a dreamy tone.
-Oh there you are Jason, we started to wonder where you were off to- he sent her a charming smile.
Hermione was about to giggle but fortunately stopped herself soon enough.
When she got near the fireplace, she noticed that Theo wasn't alone; Malfoy was lying on the couch with an open book covering his face.
-What's up with him?-
-Well… he got with a really bad mood and then took his book and fell asleep as soon as he sat there- Theo looked at the blond with his eye brows raised –He sure is a weird fellow-
Hermione let out a forced laugh; he didn't need to know it was her fault after all…
-Oh that's right, I almost forgot Jason, we're going to have a party tomorrow night- Theo said excitedly.
-Really? I thought we weren't allowed to do that- That was the inner perfect prefect talking.
-Haha your innocence amuses me Jason… anyway, it'll start at 9- he said standing up.
-Where are you going?-
-Quidditch practice- he responded without turning.
-Shouldn't you wake up Malfoy?-
-Nuhh if I do that, he'll just retaliate with us - he waved a good bye and left the common room.
-Great… alone again.- she glanced at the blond lying a few inches from her –well not entirely alone-
Hermione couldn't understand why Malfoy was always so angry…
She was sitting on the floor near the fireplace; without resisting it, she crawled her way to Malfoy and looked at him closely. But couldn't exactly watch his face since the book was covering it. She slowly reached the book and took it carefully.
But the book slipped from her hands and fell soundly to the floor. Hermione covered her ears as fast as she could, waiting for the yelling to begin, but it never came. She slowly opened one eye and glance at the boy. The only reaction she got from him was a frown.
-Wow… he sure has a deep sleep- she sighed relieved.
She picked up the book, and laid her back against the couch. She turned the pages quickly until it stopped in the middle of the book; there she found a little piece of paper… that was actually a photograph.
But it wasn't just any photo; it was the one she took from the floor in the astronomy tower.
She wanted so bad to take a look at what was in the front, the brunette glanced again at the blond behind her to ensure that he was still asleep and taking a deep breath, she turned the photo.
She gasped in shock as she looked at it.
-No way…- she whispered.
She found herself reading pleasantly a book in the library. Taking a few locks of her hair out of her eyes every once in a while and smiling sweetly as she turned delicately the pages.
The sudden movement behind her pulled her out her thoughts, she rapidly put the picture back where she found it and run and run as if Voldemort was chasing her.
She locked herself in her room and lent her back on the door.
Her heart was beating heavily against her chest -Why the heck Malfoy has a picture of me?- she wondered still amused.
-Does he… no, that can't be it… Can it?- she struggled as she dropped to the floor with her hands on her head.
Trying desperately to avoid the image of Draco Malfoy watching a certain Gryffindor with a gentle smile and a slight blush on his cheeks.
