Chapter 10

That Dreaded Day

It was the day of the Hogsmeade trip and Hermione woke up with a groan. Checking the time, she groaned, looking at her reflection, she groaned, walking into the bathroom, Hermione groaned. After her shower as she changed into a red fleece sweater, dark jeans, and white flats she groaned. Walking out into the common room and meeting Draco's eyes she groaned.

"Are you ready for the Hogsmeade trip?" Draco asks smiling.

She groaned and leaned her head across the doorframe of the bathroom, which earned a laugh from Draco.

"Is there a reason why you're groaning?"Draco said once again smiling.

"Try having a date with Zacharias Smith," she said closing her eyes and scrunching up her face.

"Of all prats you could've chosen why that one?" he said smirking while raising his eyebrows.

"He split my bag during Charms and stayed after to 'help' me but all he did was stand there and guilt me into going out with him," said Hermione, disgust appearing on his face.

"Where's he taking you?" Draco asked curiously.

"Probably some shit-hole like Madam Puddifoot's," Hermione said sighing.

Draco laughed at the curly brown haired muggleborn who currently was out of a profanity filter.

"Why are you laughing?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"Oh Hermi, in the morning your profanity filter never seems to be with you," chuckled Draco.

"Only when I'm grumpy," Hermione said walking out of the doorframe and sitting down beside Draco. "Smith is going to piss me off I can feel it. During the D.A. Meetings I just wanted to hit him."

"Well if it's that bad, you can always play the Head Girl card and run back here. I'll be here all day, probably," Draco said shrugging his shoulders.

"I tried using that as my excuse but that stupid Hufflepuff charm won me over!" she said scrunching up her face in displeasure.

"Hufflepuff charm? I didn't know there was such a thing," chuckled Draco.

"You know, the puppy dog and the pouty face, Diggory had it too. I don't fully understand why Smith inherited the charm I mean just look at him, he is as bird repellent as Crabbe." Hermione exclaimed.

"No Crabbe uses a spray, because if he didn't the birds would be falling all over him, so he says," smirked Draco amused at Hermione's outburst of laughter.

"I didn't even know Crabbe could say that many syllables," snorted Hermione.

The pair looked at each other smirking and then suddenly burst into laughter. Every time they hoped to stop laughing their fit continued louder than before. Ten minutes later the laughs died down and they just gazed at each other smiling.

'She is so beautiful, her chestnut coloured eyes see right through my soul searching for secrets. Wait, you're not falling for you are you Drakie? It's Granger, you tortured her for years. That is because I am unable to express my feelings well so I disguised my feelings for her as hatred. But its Granger!'Draco thought battling his inner self.

'His pale complexion, his eyes filled with stars, his shining smile, he's perfect. Whoa, slow down there 'Mione, did you really just compliment Malfoy? It's Malfoy… he's a Slytherin for Merlin's sake! He has being torturing you for years, calling you a mudblood, insulting your friends; he is a despicable human being! Oh come on Herm, you don't believe that! Please tell me you're not falling for him! I don't know if I am or not!' thought Hermione confused at what she is feeling.

"Bullocks," they muttered looking down at their hands.

"What was that?" the pair chorused once more.

"Oh nothing," they said together once again.

Laughing at each other, Hermione got up said her goodbyes and walked out of the portrait hole while her heart exploded with confused emotions.

While she walked down the staircases to meet Zacharias in the Great Hall Hermione's brain was blasting with deranged thoughts about a certain blonde haired boy. Without even realizing it step after step her smile became bigger thinking of him. Unaware of her surroundings, Hermione crashed shoulders with none other than Blaise Zabini.

"Zabini," she acknowledge with a nod of her head.

"Hermione, how are you on this fine day?" Blaise said a smile appearing on his face showing that he knew something Hermione surprisingly didn't.

"I'm fine, is there something you needed Blaise?" Hermione asked with a turn of her head to the side.

"Only for you to love Draco," he muttered looking down at his feet.

"What was that?" Hermione said confusion lacing into her tone.

"Oh nothing, well I must be off. Goodbye Granger," said Blaise and with a flick of his Slytherin robes he was off and strolling up the moving staircases.

With a confused look on her face she looked back at the Slytherin returned her gaze to in front of her and looked back again. Nodding her head she journeyed on to her destination in complete irritation to be going on a date with someone as utterly barbaric as Mr. Zacharias Smith.

A/N: Okay so I sprained my ankle, it was a grade two sprain so it was extremely close to a fracture, in my opinion I am super lucky because then I would miss all of soccer/basketball season and that scares me. Then during Christmas break I was in California and my sister hogged our laptop the whole time -.- and of course the worst of all, writers block. I personally thank all of the readers who have encouraged me, and motivated me this chapter is for you :)
