A/N: Back with "It Started with Name Calling" ^_^ I would love more Reviews!! Any way's to the story:

Owen stood there dumbfounded, he couldn't believe Hermione had just yet again turned him down, even in front of the famous Harry Potter himself, he turned around only to see the, Harry Potter laughing hysterically, along with a guy named Ron Weasley, this however angered Owen *They'll see... she'll come around to her senses, the pretty ones always do* Owen thought bitterly to himself, with a evil smile plastered on his face.

"What you smiling at mate?" asked Ron with a grin on his face, "You just got shut down!!" Owen glared towards Ron, but then put on one of his cocky grins on his face "She'll come around, you'll see" answered Owen, with much confidence, in his voice "Sorry mate but I don't think you stand a chance!" Harry said, while walking towards the couch to sit down next to Ron.

Hermione was walking down the hall way, towards the great hall "GRANGER!!!" Yelled a familiar males voice, Hermione rolled her eyes and, turned around, only to come face, to face with none other then, Lucius Malfoy himself, with his own son traveling right behind him, "What?" Hermione asked, almost showing fear in her voice while, staring directly into Lucius Malfoy cold blue eyes.

"Stay away from her, Luicus!!" Yelled Draco running over to where Hermione stood shoving himself in front of her as to protect her from his own father's cold stare.

Luicus let out a cold laugh, and looked into his own son eyes, "Hmm ...so it seems you do have a thing for this ..." Luicus eyes glanced towards Hermione, with much disgust written on his face. "Lower then filth itself mudblood." His spoke acidly, Hermione couldn't believe what curl words, had just left his mouth, she felt tears stinging at the edge of her eyes, but should would not let no Malfoy ever see her cry again.

"Don't you dare say that about Hermione!!?" Draco yelled, at his father, this took both Hermione and Luicus by surprise, Hermione eyes looked towards Draco *what is he thinking? He's going to get us both killed?* thought Hermione, now feeling more scared than ever as she saw the look in Luicus facial expression change to a really pissed off Malfoy.

*Oh no, he going to hurt Draco* Hermione's thoughts screamed at her, as she saw Luicus move towards his son, reaching for his wand in his rob.

Draco stood his ground, keeping a straight even as he saw, his father moving towards him, Draco could feel his heart pounding fast in his chest, he saw his father reach for his wand in his black rob, Draco clinched his fist expecting the worse, until an olds mans voice spoke, "Excuse me Mr. Malfoy is there a problem?" Draco turned around, and very thankful to see his headmaster Professor Dumbledore now standing by Hermione and his side.

Luicus cursed under his breath, "No, not at all Professor, I was just on my way" Luicus said plastering a fake smile on to his face, Dumbledore didn't hold the twinkle in his eyes, the way he usually did, Draco knew that Dumbledore didn't believe Luicus by the way he was staring him down, "That better be all, Mr. Malfoy" Dumbledore spoke seriously, not once taken his eyes off of Luicus.

Luicus took one last glance at Hermione and Draco then turned and walked away pass Dumbledore, down the hall. Hermione let a long breath out, that she hadn't realize she's been holding in the whole time, her and Draco both looked at their headmaster, as of what to do now, Dumbledore got the twinkle back in his gleaming eyes and looked at them, "Well I must say Miss. Granger, Mr. Malfoy you best be on your way, I'll see you later" Dumbledore spoke softly, and walked on his down the opposite direction Luicus Malfoy had went.

Hermione looked up at Draco, for a moment not knowing exactly what to say to him, since he did stand up for and everything. Draco looked back down at Hermione, not knowing what to say now either, so he did the only thing he could think of, and started down the hall, half hoping Hermione would call out to him.

Suddenly as soon as he was about to give up hope, that she would call for him, her heard her "WAIT!" Hermione yelled down the hall, now running towards him, although not knowing it was directed towards him, he walked on, turning the corner, and was about to walk on until he felt his sleeve on his black school rob being tugged at, he turned around only to find Hermione, staring up at him with her innocent looking brown eyes he saw the girl he was madly in love with inside of them.

"I ...I wanted to say thank you" Hermione spoke shyly towards him, now looking at the floor, as if to see his facial expression directed towards her would make her uncomfortable. Draco let a small sigh escape his threw his mouth, "And I wanted to say, I'm sorry Hermione" Draco spoke softly, and with that before Hermione could say another word, Draco walked away back to the Slytherin common room.
