Hermione knelt down and picked it up. It was a hanker-chief. Something in the back of her head told her it was important. To take it and run.
So looking around she did just that. She jammed it into her pocket and left the library.
She was so upset that she almost blurted out that she really *did* kiss him, but noticing how that wouldn't do much good she settled for taking off Harry's robe, throwing it at him and saying, "How would you know?"
She was really starting to like Scott. As he was her. Or so she thought.

Malfoy's on Top
~*~
"How would you transfigure this quill into a bird?" Professor McGonagall asked the next day in Transfiguration. Automatically Hermione's hand shot up. McGonagall looked around the classroom tiredly, but sighed when she saw that, like always, Hermione was the only volunteer.
"Yes-" McGonagall started, but paused and brightened considerably when she saw that there was one other hand up, "Mr. Malfoy!"
Hermione's eyes widened and her jaw dropped in shock. She turned in her seat and stared at Malfoy. He just smirked and answered the question.
"Very good, Draco! 10 points to Slytherin," McGonagall told him, not being at all like herself.
Harry turned to Hermione who looked like she was about to cry. "It's only one question, Herm," he reassured her.
She took in a shaky breath. "I suppose you're right," she agreed.
Yet the whole class Professor McGonagall called on Malfoy acting as if Hermione wasn't jumping up and down waving her arms.
By the end of the class Hermione was tired, depressed, and snappy. It was NOT a good idea to mess with her.
"That was an interesting class, eh Hermione?" Ron asked, jogging up to them.
"Stuff it," Hermione snapped. Ron looked startled but Harry just pat Hermione's back saying, "There, there."
To that Hermione just mumbled something inaudible.
"Thanks for raising my grade, Professor!" Malfoy called into the classroom as he left it. Hermione paled and stumbled falling flat on her face.
"Graceful, Granger," Draco teased, smirking. Hermione rolled over and groaned, seeing Malfoy standing over her with that stupid smirk on his face. He held out his hand to help her up, "Walk much?"
Hermione narrowed her eyes at his sudden kindness but let him help her up anyway. Surprisingly she smiled as he helped steady her. She couldn't help it, his eyes were just so happy! None of their usual coldness glaring back at her.
"Don't touch her, Malfoy," Ron sneered, grabbing Hermione away from him, almost making her fall again. Hermione glanced at Draco but sighed when she saw that his eyes were back to their hard, cold glare.
"What is it your business if I touch her?" Malfoy growled at him, "Not like you cared a couple days ago." Then he paused as if seeing what he was fighting for, for the first time. "Ah, fuck this, I'm outie," he said after deciding that he couldn't make sense of what was happening.
"What was that about?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, why'd you let him touch you?" Ron asked, then his temper flared, "It's because you were hoping that you could snog him wasn't it?" then shuddered at the words he just said.
"Why are you such a baby, Ronald Weasley?" Hermione shouted, "Just because I let him help me up doesn't mean anything! Maybe I let him because my *friends* weren't making a move to do so! Or even ask me if I was okay!"
"Herm, we-"
"Don't! I really- I just can't talk to you right now, okay?" Hermione took a deep breath, "Just let me calm down. I'm just in a bad mood is all."
"What's wrong Hermione?" Harry asked with concern in his voice.
Hermione took another deep breath, willing herself to calm down. "It's nothing," Hermione whispered. Ron shrugged and started off to class. Harry cast her a worried glance but started walking too. Hermione, however, didn't follow them. She silently made her way to her dorm room.
~*~*~*~*~
Malfoy ran his hand through his hair trying to figure things out. He'd helped her up, hadn't made fun of her AND fought for his rights to TOUCH her. Ugh, what was happening. He didn't like her. He *couldn't* like her. She was a stupid mudblood. Okay, so she was kind of smart. ALMOST as smart as him.
He smirked as he thought of how he'd just gotten his grade highered, how now, Hermione and him weren't tied anymore. He was the top of his class.
Malfoy stopped, suddenly enraged. No, he wasn't the top. Hardy was. Damn him, damn him! His father was going to kill him! This was his last chance! Not only hadn't he made Head Boy but he was lower than that annoying goody-goody!
Hmm, he thought, No. Father wasn't going to kill him. Malfoy would more likely kill his father than his father kill him.
That was another reason he couldn't like Granger. He was a Life Slayer. He couldn't like a mudblood, it would be against everything he was working for. Unless. maybe he could get her to join him.
No, Malfoy discarded that thought even before he fully thought it up. He could enslave her though. He smiled evilly to himself. After all, he was aloud to want her body. Which, of course, he already did. Along with half the school- but him being a Malfoy *did* give him special privileges.
But that wouldn't solve anything. Malfoy cried out in frustration. He needed to know if everything he was doing was out of lust- or something more. There was only one way that he was willing to use to find out too. 'Aequum est amor'
Only one problem. it called for something that belongs to her. How would he get that? Malfoy sighed; he knew what he had to do.
Without another thought, he set off for her dorm room.
~*~*~*~*~*~
That's all for now! Sorry but that just seemed like a good place to stop. and I'm pretty lost at what I'm doing. Once again, Sorry! Oh, and thank you sooo much for all of you that reviewed! Oh and I think there's been some confusion of what happened in the hospital wing. All they did was make out! I swear! I don't even want to know what you were thinking [shudders] lol. And for all those people who didn't or haven't reviewed yet. See that button down there? I I I V
Click it!!! Thanks!
