don't steal it please!
Ron was still steaming over Ginny and Harry on Saturday, but little did he know he would have more to worry over in the passing day. Breakfast was full of tension at the Gryffindor table, no one dared to speak. Ginny couldn't stand the silence or the mean looks any longer, she had to say something!
"Where do you think Hermione is?" she said quietly
"I Do Not Know" Ron said sternily, he gave Harry a dirty look. Seamus was lost in his own thoughts, he still was wondering why Ron said he felt better about Harry dating Ginny, then he would if he dated her. It didn't make any sense, yeah Harry was Ron's best friend, but Seamus had seen Harry snogging Lavender for pete's sake! Suddenly Ron gasped, violently pulling Seamus from his thoughts.
Draco Malfoy didn't feel much like eating, his thoughts were still on his conversation with Hermione last night, she had changed so much. Her hair was straightened, her teeth were pretty, snow white and straighter than a ruler, and her body had filled out in all the right places. 'Why am I thinking about that mudblood anyway, Hermio---Granger doesn't mean anything to me does she?'
"Hey Draco look at the mudblood, she looks pretty nice for once" Blaise Zabini laughed. Draco turned towards the doors to the Great Hall, and saw a fine looking amber haired girl walking down towards him. It was Hermione alright, he could tell by the smile that began to dance across her face at his expression, but in a way it wasn't her. Hermione was wearing makeup, but just enough to bring out her eyes more, a pleaded tennis style white skirt, and a white shirt with a single red stripe that went down from her left shoulder to her right and in her hand was a red hoodie that prefectly matched her outfit. On her feet she wore red and white sneakers and little white footie socks. No one, not Harry, not Ron, not Ginny, nor Draco knew she owned any of this, but they all enjoyed this new look, as did she.
Hermioned walked between the Slytherin and Gryfinndor tables, then once she reached the end, walked up the other side of her house's table and stood infront of her seat next to Ginny. She looked down a Ginny, then to Ron and Harry who sat infront of her, but her gaze finally rested on one plaitium blonde Slytherin, when he returned her stare, she smiled then sat and ate her breakfast like normal.
"Dude, Hermione, killer outfit!" Ginny squealed. Harry nodded in argeement and Ron turned around only to catch his worst enemy looking over at his preious 'Mione.
"Malfoy better watch where he decides to stare" Ron grumbled
"Ron, you worry to much!" Hermione dissmissed
"Hey Hermione, don't you and the hidious head boy over there have Hogsmeade duty today?" Seamus asked suddenly.
"Yeah, we are giving Professor McGonagall a break, she really needs it with all this stuff going on!" Hermione replied cheerfully, she was in a really good mood for once.
"And you sound awefully cheerful, guess you must just love the idea of spending your whole day with Malfoy?" A deep voice mocked. The four friends turned to look up and see none other than Blaise Zabini standing behind Hermione with his hands in his pockets, grinning evily. His black hair wasn't arranged in any certain order and his eys sparkled with uncompariable emotion.
"No, I do NOT love the idea, but if you wish to know I do LOVE the idea of not having to be near so many unsufferable Slytherin gits, like yourself. So if you would, please, leave us the hell alone I would be very happy." Hermione said in a calm and very adult tone.
"Damn Granger, you have become hot in more ways than one!" Zabini blurted out, he loved to pick on her.
"Did you not hear Hermione, or are you really that stupid Zabini" Ron began "She told you to bugger off, and you better before I have to step in." Ron was raging now, and Seamus got up and walked out of the Great Hall before someone got hurt. Even with Ron's threat Zabini did not move and just stood and snickered.
"Hey asshole I told you to fuck off!" Ron stood up and began to yell curses at Zabini, and his face was turning red. Hermione didn't know what was going on exactly, all she knew was Ron was about ready to get detention and she didn't want to be the one to give it to him.
Soon someone was towering over the hot headed Ron. His tall masculine figure cast a shadow down over Ron and Hermione, who was sitting infront of him, her head in her hands. The young man tapped Ron on the shoulder, and said:
"Excuse me Weasley, but Blaise has not a clue of what he is saying" Only one voice could sound so arrogant, it was Malfoy.
Hermione looked up, and Malfoy peered at her with his unreadable silver eyes. She had always wished she had eyes like his, they were so beauitful, but what was she thinking, it was Malfoy, he was an evil, selfish bastard, and he didn't deserve to hear such nonsense.
"Hermione, we need to leave soon so that we can meet Professor McGonagall before we leave." Malfoy said matter-of-factly
"Okay, I am coming, just hold on for a sec." Hermione stated coldly. She looked a a retreating Blaise, made sure he was gone, and then proceeded to walk out of the Great Hall with Malfoy.
Professor McGonagall was happy to see them early, the sooner the trip started the better, Hogwarts needed some peace and quiet if you asked her.
"Keep you eyes on the students at ALL times, and stay TOGETHER, and most importantly NO FIGHTING!" and with these brief instructions the Professor saw them off. The next couple of hours would go by fast and very uneventful. By the time the head boy and girl returned, made sure everyone was back, safe, and sound, and finally reported back to McGonagall again, dinner was being served. Dinner was no better than breakfast, even though Ron had cooled down, and was beginning to feel happy for Harry and Ginny. Soon the silence was broken by the sound of students leaving, so Hermione got up and walked back to her dorm in unsounding sadness for her best friend.
It was about 9 at night when there was a scratching coming from Hermione's door. Draco wasn't sure he had heard it at first, but then it happened a second time, and soon he was racing up the stairs with Hermione following.
"What in Merlin's name do you have locked in your room Granger?" Malfoy questioned
"Nothing, now just open the door, I want to know what it is sometime today!" Hermione wasn't in the mood for Malfoy's stupid immature games. Draco did as he was told, for once, and slowly opened the door. BOOM! A snow white owl, better known as Hedwig, crashed directly into Malfoy and sent him tumbling over. Swearing and cursing Draco got back up as Hedwig delivered whatever he was carrying to Hermione. It was a howler, but she was sure it wasn't from Harry, so who would send her a howler using Harry's owl?
