Chapter Two
OH NO!
The next day, was Hell.
To put it as simple as possible 'Hell' works just fine. Its that day when you know that you like the person so you start to put on a show. You know, you avoid them and when you can't you TRY way to hard to act normal, so you're not acting normal anymore. Again I say, Why my best friend?
So, I skirted around him and Ron and went down to breakfast alone. I sat by Lavender and Parvati that morning only to hear,
" *Giggles* Oh, gosh! Here he comes, look at how cute he is! *More giggles*" When Harry walked in awhile later with Ron. With an exasperated ugh! I got up, leaving the rest of my breakfast and walked back out. As I walked past them,
" Hermione wait-"
" Hey where you –"
" I'm not hungry I'll catch you later." I said, and hurried past them. Then I remembered what McGonagall had told me before and turned back to Harry, " Harry don't forget there is a prefects meeting in" checked my watch, " Ten minutes!" He nodded and they both looked at me perplexedly as I rushed out of the Great Hall.
Out there wasn't any better I was scolding myself for being stupid.
" Hermione you are so stupid! Why did you leave, they just said he was cute! He's your Best Friend!" Why I couldn't have done that mentally I don't even know myself. Talking to yourself in the middle of the entry hall, that's a bit crazy. Well talking to your self is even worse when:
Draco Malfoy hears you.
" Talking to your self Granger? I always knew all that studying would drive you crazy." He said as he stepped out from behind one of the statues. I stared at him open mouthed.
" Oh, you've got the look down too, impressive! And I thought you were improving in that area!" He smirked, I snapped.
" Stuff it Malfoy you fool! Why were spying on me?" I spat at him,
" Don't flatter your self Granger, I just stepped behind there because I heard someone coming! If I had known it was you I wouldn't have bothered!"
" Oh right Malfoy." Not wanting to deal with him, I walked away. But as I was turning the corner he added oh so graciously,
" So I'll just tell Potter you adore him then shall I?" I could hear the sneer in his voice as I froze mid-step. I turned slowly around as if he hadn't said it and I was imagining the whole thing
" You- " I straightened up. " You assume you know a lot Malfoy, I wasn't talking abo—about Harry." It came out way to shaky and not convincing at all. Especially not for Draco Malfoy. Ahh well here's what happened then. He laughed and get this… We struck a deal. Me, Hermione Granger top of her class (I'm full of myself aren't I?) Striking a deal with the Slytherin (no I'm not bashing them the Slytherins are cool by me!) Draco Malfoy! I couldn't believe it myself! Here's how it went,
" Ok, here's the deal—"
" Deal, wait nooo way I am NOT making a deal with you, nope not doing it!"
" Ok fine. I'll just go tell Potter then," I grabbed his arm, then pulled away thinking who it was.
" No! No, its fine. Great, fine perfectly all right. Okay by me! A deal, what kind of deal." I was thinking that this was outrageously absurd that he was holding this over my head like a three old.
And then we struck a deal.
Amazing, this I know. A big WOW perhaps, but I don't know, all these years we had assumed the worse of him, maybe – NOPE I chucked that thought right out of my head… for then anyway. The deal was that, get this he can't do Transfiguration and he's falling behind in Arithmancy!, so I'd tutor him two nights a week and he'd keep my 'lovely little secret' as he called it.
" Oh, bugger! Now were going to be late for the prefects meeting!" Unfortunately, this means that I had to walk across half the school, WITH HIM. Oh well, Draco… did I just call him Draco? MALFOY was actually talking to me, pointing out all the things he didn't get.
" I really don't understand how your supposed to see that picture of Zeus in those stars—" I was to busy focusing on getting my way to the room where the meeting was, I barely heard him.
" It's a – you got to look at the big picture, you prat—wait no I didn't mean that."
" I'm touched?"
" Shut up!"
Finally I found my way there and walked through the door to run right into----Harry.
*~*
I don't know what her problem was.
She fled the Great Hall, barely speaking to us. What was her problem? She just reminded me about the meeting and left. Strange. Then she was almost late for the meeting that she reminded me about. I don't know what was up with my dear friend Hermione but I was going to find out.
On top of that, she came in with;
" Malfoy?" I said, " Is he bothering you Hermione?"
" Wha- what? Oh! Um, no he's fine we just got here at the same time, chill out Harry." She said. She looked nervous and she wouldn't look me in the eye.
" Real witty Potter, blame me…SO like you." Malfoy accused.
" Oh will the two of you SHUT UP! I have a headache just thinking about what you are going to say next! Just … sit DOWN!" Hermione spat.
I stared at her, so did Malfoy. Was she OK? I steered her over to the Griffindor seats just as Head Girl, (I have make it up!!!) Alexis Daves, began to speak. Hermione wouldn't stop twitching, she kept moving and switching positions, crossing and un-crossing her legs. I tried to pay attention to what Alexis was saying but it was hard—
" With the end of the year coming up I wanted to " switch " begin a tradition of a not only a " move, " going away feast" cough, switch, move " but maybe a dance of some sort. Rather like the "
" Hermione! Stop. Moving!"
" Alright!" Exasperated sigh.
"—Yule Ball but with the obvious exception of the tournament. I have brought this to the attention of Dumbledore and he feels that it would be appropriate enough and has agreed. However, that only leaves us two weeks to prepare any needed preparation. So I'll put you into committees and ask for the help of the teachers. I'll make an announcement of the Leaving Dance at dinner tonight." She paused checked with the Head Boy, Josh, and continued. " Yes, here is the list of the groups and what you will be doing!" Alexis pinned it to the board behind her and finished with, " So, if there aren't any questions you are dismissed."
Everyone stood up and began to shuffle their way towards the front of the room to see what group they'd be in. I saw Hermione get to the board and run her finger down the list and come to her name. She groaned and – did she just swear? Before she, o look she fled the room again. I just thought I'd find her later, so I went up and found my name on the list.

Harry Potter
Melissa Moon
Draco Malfoy
Hermione Granger
What's wrong with that list? Me, and Melissa are her friends… and Malfoy. Yeah, it was probably that she was with him.
*~*
The day was Hell.
Now, I was going to have to spend even MORE time with Draco—no not Draco--MALFOY and with Harry there. What was I going to do? I'd be a mess! That's what I thought. Ok so maybe hell was to strong a word. But stressful, irritating, confusing and aggravating work just fine! Right away
So, * cringe * what do you think? Please, please review! I need to know.
