He was going to murder someone; Astoria, his father, some bloody Slytherin twat, but before exploding and unleashing his wench. He needed to make sure she wasn't just pulling his leg. Merlin he hoped this was just a joke, revenge from Hermione for the past two days he avoided her.

Looking her over nothing looked out of place, same bushy hair as always with her Gryffindor uniform and head girl badge pinned to her white blouse. The only thing off about her was the look she was giving him, a mixture of confusion and suspicion.

"Who am I Granger?" he repeated.

"I don't know what you're playing at Malfoy but I …"

He cut her off and grabbed her arm, walking away from the library doors as he looked around making sure no one was watching them.

"Let go!"

Draco ignored her as they rounded a dark corner before he pushed her up against the stone wall gently and caged her in with his hands resting on either side of her head. "Answer the question because if this is a joke, it's not funny, I am not laughing."

Draco could see Hermione was confused by the look on her face and a bit suspicious towards him, he guessed as well as fear for leading her down the hall, but that quickly changed. Most of the times he could read her like a book. His observation as well as a gut feeling was telling him that she was growing angry.

"You want me to tell you who you are? Fine!" she snapped, loudly inches away from his face. "You are Draco Malfoy!"

"What else?" Draco narrowed his eyes not caring that she was upset and or yelled at him.

He was becoming impatient he just wish he knew what she was thinking. The way she was just staring at him, all he wanted was to close the gap between them and feel her lips on his. Feel all those wonderful feelings he felt when he was with her.

"I'm waiting" Draco said, softly as he tried not to panic, he just needed to know.

'Merlin what was with him today?' Hermione thought not knowing and she hated not knowing, but thought that the sooner she answered him, the sooner she could get some answers herself. "You're Draco Malfoy; annoying, rich, pureblood, Slytherin. Who hates me and all my friends and thinks he's god's gift to all women."

Draco couldn't believe this was happening to him or her… to them. She only remembered the old him and not the Draco that fell for her while pretending to date for the last two months almost three. He was lost in thought, wondering what the hell happened to her after he left her last night. He wished he knew because whatever or whoever caused this would suffer slowly and painfully.

Hermione continued to stare at those stormy gray eyes. Something about his eyes and being in close proximity with him made her feel strange; and then in a flash she saw those same eyes looking at her in the great hall with love, care and with playful teasing glints before the memory, vision vanished just as quickly as it came. Blinking up at him, she was no longer angry, but more lost than before and damn it she wanted answers.

But first she needed to put some space between them because being this close to him wasn't helping her out. Giving a quick glance at his thin frowning lips, she didn't like what she was feeling. Her thoughts and emotions were a complete wreck and his lips were… 'No that's Malfoy' Hermione thought freaking out a bit before she ducked, going under his right arm and escaping the cage he had her in.

Draco took a deep breath to steady himself, because he knew Hermione well enough to know that she was going to demand what the hell was going on, but the problem was he wasn't quite sure either. He wasn't sure if he should tell her that he thought someone cursed her making her forget him; her boyfriend, but he knew not to, not just yet because he was afraid that she would run from him before he convinced her that he wasn't lying. Turning to face the Gryffindor, he cut her off again before she bombarded him with questions. "Then we have a big problem Herm… Granger"

"And what problem is that?" Hermione inquired crossing her arms starting to feel annoyed.

He sighed while running his fingers through his blonde hair because he never thought that there would be a day where he would need Potter and Weasley's help with his personal life; to be more specific, his relationship problems with their best friend Hermione Granger. "You'll find out soon enough, now come on we need to go find Potter and Weasley" he said, before walking off knowing she would follow.

Draco was lost in thought and had no idea where Potter and Weasley could be, but the Gryffindor tower would be a good place to start.

"Where are we going Malfoy?" Hermione asked, quickly catching up to him as they went up the moving stairs. Not knowing why she was following him to begin with, maybe it was out of pure curiosity, but that was quickly lost within a flash she watched herself running like a crazy woman down the stairs, her mass of curls flying behind her shoulders and she looked like she hadn't slept in days while desperately trying to get somewhere before she was pulled back into the present and facing the fat lady portrait while Malfoy leaned on the wall observing her every move. She felt herself heat up from the intense stares from the quiet Head boy before speaking the password. Hoping Harry and Ron were in the common room because she needed someone to elaborate this bizarre situation if Malfoy wouldn't.
