"You little bitch! Your going to pay for that!" Draco screamed. Hermione smirked and stalked away with Ron and Harry on her tail. Draco turned to face his two friends, Max and Milestio. "Did you see what she just did. She punched me in my god damn face." Draco continues while wiping his gushing nose onto his sleeve, disgusted by the blood now covering it. Max and Milestio nodded. "WELL DONT JUST STAND THERE NODDING, GO GET HER AND BRING HER TO THE INFIRMARY! SHE BETTER BLOODY HOPE MY NOSE ISNT BROKEN!" Shouts Draco. Max and Milestio sprint off in the direction Hermione Granger went.

Draco sat outside the infirmary waiting impatiently. "Were is that filthy mudblood. She better hurry herself up!" Draco mumbled to himself. A young first year at hogwarts exits the infirmiry and glances at Draco. "What are you looking at?" Draco sneered. The girl ducks her head and runs down the hallway only looking back at him briefly once she was safe at the end of the hallway. A chorus of footsteps approaching Draco from down the hallway causes Draco to stand up. He can just make out the silouettes of two men and a woman. There she is, Ms.Hermione Granger Draco thought. And he was right she glared daggers at malfoy as she was practicly pushed down the hallway by Max and Milestio. Once she was within 5ft of distance Max and Milestio threw her to the ground and left Draco alone with Hermione. " Hows your precious nose Malfoy? " Hermione asked with a gleeful look in her eye. Without any warning Draco slapped Hermione across the face as hard as he could. He hit Harry lighter than that most of the time, but something about Hermione set him off. He picked her up by her hair and pushed her against the wall. It surprised him to see that she had tears shining on her face and a huge dark red hand mark across the side of her face that covered all of her cheek. "Im s-s-so sorry, H-hermione. I dont know what's g-gotten into me" Draco stuttered. Hermione looked up into his eyes. Her eyes were so thoughtful and honest Draco thought and forced himself to look away. He let go of her and ran down the hallway shaking of what had just happened.
