"Well, oh my! Is it the famous
Hermoine Granger?" Harry called out as she walked into class. Calmly, she set
her books down and took a seat. Harry ran over and waved a piece of paper in
her face. "What is this?" He asked her sarcastically.
Hermoine looked over to Draco who was
sitting silently with his head in his hands. He looked up over at Hermoine.
"I'm so sorry, Hermoine." He
whispered.
"Yes, Draco is sorry. Sorry he left
this little note for us to find." Harry added. Hermoine grabbed it from his hands
and read what it said. It was the note Draco had written to Hermoine. "I mean,
Hermoine, you didn't sleep with him did you? I know you two were up late last
night!" All of Harry's friends laughed at the remark.
"Never! I would NEVER sleep with
anyone!" She yelled. "You're one to talk Mr. Potter!" She grabbed her books and
headed out the door.

It had been two days since the event
in class. Hermoine, surprisingly, was not ashamed of what Harry had accused her
of. Hermoine was lying in bed awake. She couldn't sleep.
Quickly, she jumped from the bed and
towards the tower. She reached it in no time.
"Draco?" She called.
"I was hoping you'd come back." He
came from the shadows and out to where she was standing. She hugged him. "But
why?" She started.
"I know you have questions. I'll try
to answer them the best I can." He told her. This was the first time they could
really talk.
"Why were you always so mean to Harry,
Ron, and me?" She asked.
"Hermoine, I was mean to you because I
didn't want anyone to find out my secret. People use to pick on me a lot. I had
to keep up my 'tough guy' image. As for Harry, I've always hated him. You loved
him so much. Your life revolved around him. To tell you the truth, I was a
little jealous. Ron isn't a bad guy. He was one of Harry's pals and I needed a
way to get to him."
They talked all night. It was nearly
6:00 when Hermoine got back to their dormitory.
