Hermione found an empty table and sat down. She had been waiting nearly ten minutes before she saw Malfoy walk in. "You're late" she said.

"Well you didn't actually expect me to hurry, now did you?" He replied.

"Actually I didn't." She said flashing a witty grin. "

"Where do we start?" he asked.

"First, I'd like to ask why you're taking Arithmancy this year?"

"If it's any of your business, I decided it might be useful".

"Good enough. I also wanted to ask you", now she leaned in closer so that no one could hear "if you said anything to any one about err... last night?"

"Oh that?!? Goodness no! Why should I? Oh yeah I can see it now...Hey Crabbe I saw Granger half naked! I don't think so." Then he laughed aloud but this time Hermione laughed as well.

"I guess that is a little ridiculous". Hermione didn't notice but Harry and Ron had entered the library just as she leaned in her head close to Malfoy. Ron had spotted them immediately.

"What the heck? Look at that Harry! I can't believe she'd do something like THAT!" Meanwhile Hermione and Malfoy continued their conversation.

"So..." Malfoy said uncertainly, "You haven't..."

"Oh NO! Like you said, what would be the purpose?"

"Oh good, I didn't want the whole school knowing how fat and pale I am."

"Well, you are pale, but you're not fat, why do girls say that all the time?"

"Oh, vanity, I don't know...hey, so does that mean that you err meant what you said before."

"That you're a pale, mud-blood... of course." He said flashing a mischievous grin.

"Why do you do that?" asked Hermione with much exasperation.

"What?" he asked innocently.

"That. You can learn your Arithmancy by-your-self, if you're going to be that way" she got up and strode off.

Again his hand on her shoulder stopped her. "Wait." he said. "He actually looks worried," thought Hermione. "Please..."

"Didn't know that word was in your vocabulary." said Hermione sarcastically.

" I need your help Hermione." Hermione noticed he had used her first name, now she was listening. "I promise to be a good boy." he said, his usual evil grin back on his face, but something was different about it now. Something Hermione couldn't exactly put her finger on but whatever it was she definitely found it charming.

"Fine!" she replied after a pause, "But next time be on time." Then she strode off.

She hummed to herself all the way back to the portrait of the fat lady. "Draco can really be charming when he wants to be." She thought. She was still smiling at her musings as she entered the Gryffindor common room.

Ron was waiting for her when she got there, but she knew he should be at dinner with everyone else. "Why aren't you in the dining hall?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I was waiting for you. Hermione HOW COULD YOU?!?"

If there are lots of spelling and grammer errors in this chapter (and the next two) it was not my fault. Seriously. One of my friends is helping me type a bit, and her spelling isn't the best. Sorry Ashton, I love ya ne ways though! (as a friend, you know what I mean) Now REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!
