HUGE APOLOGETIC A/N: You didn't know when, but now you finally get to read chapter ten! SOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY! I'm not a happy person at ALL! I have had this chapter ready for over a week, but my computer crashed completely and they had to send it back to Dell and it has been gone for 7 days! So I finally got time in between homework to re-type it on a different comp! Yay, but then it didn't save…twice! So this is the 4th time I've typed this chapter and I don't think its as good as it was the first time! I also read your comments and I realized that I didn't make something clear enough in the last chapters. Draco has been attracted to Hermione since the beginning of the year, then he started to be nice to her because he felt bad for her, then they started to become friends, and he is still attracted to her, then when he kissed her it was impulse. After he did he regretted it until he thought she liked it and now he's just plain confused. I also know that Mya is a pretty bad nickname, but I really don't want him to call her Hermione, if any of you have an idea for a nickname PLEASE let me know! Thanks and Enjoy!

An Unusual Combination

"Yea it was me! Ya dumb ass! Now leave us alone! We need to go take care of important head business!" at that Hermione and Draco walked away together totally oblivious to the true thinking of the other.

As soon as Hermione and Draco turned the corner and were out of Ron's sight she immediately pushed away Draco's arm and turned to look at him. For a second she could have sworn he looked confused but then he put the typical Draco Malfoy smirk back on.

"No one ever hears about that! I know you just did it to confuse Ron and all, but you can't tell anyone!" She demanded.

"Who said I was going to? Jeez you're uptight!" he snapped back sounding both annoyed and amused. Though he felt nauseous, he had thought back there, only for a few minutes, that he liked Hermione and she liked him. Draco you fool! What were you thinking! You don't like her! I mean you're barely even friends! It was just impulse that's all! You kissed her because she's pretty! Just go along with what she said and pretend like you did it to confuse Weasley! His thoughts calmed him, He didn't really like her, she's just attractive! "And anyway why would I want to tell anyone? I mean it wasn't like I actually wanted to kiss you! It was just to confuse Weasel! Why are you always such a spaz?" he shouted at Hermione and watched as her face dropped.

"Sorry." She mumbled and quickly started to walk away fighting back tears. Why do you care so much! I mean it's just Malfoy…yea he's been nice, but not all the time! He still says mean things! It's because what he said this time was true! You are uptight and a spaz! People really wouldn't want to kiss you! I need to make another change! Change my personality! Like Sandy in Grease! I love that movie! I already have the new look; now all I need is to change my outlook on things! The idea of an inner makeover cheered her and she swiftly went into her room before Draco had even arrived in the common room.

Wow she walks fast! She's probably angry with me for saying that stuff, well it was true kinda. I mean I kinda wanted to kiss her, but she is uptight and can be a spaz! She doesn't have a very good sense of humor or she does and for some reason doesn't show it. That and she NEVER breaks rules or let people around her break rules! I probably should apologize, but I don't think I will.

The next morning Draco awoke exceedingly early on a Saturday morning, especially for him. He looked over at the clock, Ugh 6 am! And I can't get back to sleep now! Which was true once he was awake there was no way for him to fall back asleep. So he groggily walked downstairs, but stopped when he saw someone standing stretching in the middle of the common room. Her back was turned to him. She was wearing a running outfit, Spandex! Today is my lucky day! Wait a minute that has to be..."Granger?" he exclaimed making her jump. "What are you doing? Why are you wearing that?" he asked looking confused, but not upset at all. That was one of the smallest running outfits he had ever seen!

"I'm about to go for a run. What does it look like?" she stated sounding kind of like…him.

"Oh. Do you always go for runs at this time?"

"Yea it helps me relief stress."

"It's not doing a very good job." The words popped out of his mouth before he could stop them. Old habits die hard and now he was just waiting for the screaming.

"I think it is and I really don't care what you think, so that sucks for you, now doesn't it?" she said very calmly cocking he head to the side. Draco could not belief his ears!

"What the hell happened to you?"

"Whatever do you mean?" And before he could say another thing she was out the door. That was weird! She was acting like…well like me! Maybe she was too tired to yell at me or something and she'll do it when she gets back.

Then he went and took a long bath. When he came out Hermione was waiting, slightly sweaty (but still hot), to use the bathroom. She passed him without saying a word. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything the door was closed and the shower was running.

Hermione took a quick shower and got dressed in jeans and a tight fitting fleece. When she emerged from the bathroom she headed down the stairs feeling unusually confident. She saw Draco sitting on one of the couches and decided she would talk to him, just to confuse him.

"Aren't you coming down to breakfast Drac?" she asked like nothing had ever happened.

"Nope I'm going to stay up here and starve!" he said sarcastically just to see the aggravated look on her face, but it never came.

Hermione resisted to make a face at him, but reminded herself she was trying to change and said what she thought he would have. "If you're sure, but even if you're embarrassed by your weight, you really shouldn't go on crash diets! They're really dangerous! I mean you could get rid of that extra flab in a lot easier ways…like go on runs like I do. Well I'm going down to eat!" She said this very calmly with what sounded like honest concern, but inside she was laughing hysterically! Malfoy had lost his cool and had a shocked face on! They both knew there wasn't an ounce of fat on him, but it was all she could think of and it got the reaction she wanted. Then he rushed out of the portrait hole after her.

They both took their respectful places at their own tables just as Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement. "I am pleased to let you know that we have begun a mentor program for seventh years to help cope with the stress of this year. There are lists on your tables of which professor each student has and what nights they are to meet. Enjoy your breakfast." Sure enough all of a sudden there were the lists! Hermione looked down and found her name next to Professor Darinson's. He's not that bad, much better than Snape! She looked at who was with Snape…Malfoy well he'll be happy. She looked over at Malfoy and he did look happy.

Malfoy was delighted that he got Snape as him mentor! Yes! He loves me! Wonder who Granger got…probably McGonagall…Darinson! Draco was disgusted. He hated Professor Darinson! He's seriously creepy! I mean what 30-some year old guy checks out and flirts with his 17 year old students! Mick! And it isn't just any student…its Hermione…the man was infatuated with her. He never takes his eyes off of her during class and even more creepy during meals! He looked at the schedule again and saw she had a late night meeting with him…tonight. Just offer to pick her up after so you two can go on patrols…wait why are you so worried! It's not like he'd really try anything…would he?

Another A/N: Well I still don't like it! I'm gonna put my email back on my profile and if you have ANY ideas please please let me know cause I'd love to hear them. I'm really not sure where I should go from here…For those of you that stories I usually r&r. I still love u all and your stories, but my comp is literally dead!
