~Hermione was very confused.
What was going on? she
wondered. Hermione put a
bookmark into her book and
walked back to the Gryffindor
common room.~
Draco woke up the next day to find Crabbe pulling at his arm. He looked at the clock. It read 3:50am. He felt sudden pain as Crabbe yanked at his arm.
"OWW!!" Draco yelled. He pulled his arm from Crabbe's grasp. "What the hell is wrong with you? Ever heard of sleeping during the middle of the night? Even more important, ever heard of letting other people sleep in the middle of the night and keeping away from their personal belongings?!"
"Heard, but never really listened," Crabbe replied. "Come on, tell me what happened."
Draco yawned. "'Bout what?"
"About what happened yesterday!" Crabbe said. "You know...when you went to talk to Hermione."
Draco stopped and blinked. All of a sudden, his mind replayed his visit to the library. He remembered his nervousness and her confusion.
"W-what's there to know? It wasn't important," Draco said.
"It's important to ME!" Crabbe exclaimed. "Come on! Tell me! I need to know. Well did you at least start your friendship with her yet?"
"In a way," Draco replied, yawning for the third time. His eyelids slowly drooped.
"Give me some details!" Crabbe exclaimed in annoyance. He shook Draco's shoulder. "You know this is important to me. I won't let you sleep in peace until you tell me!"
Draco pushed Crabbe's hand away and rubbed his eyes.
"Okay, okay," Draco mumbled. "I told her the idea of being friends and to give me an answer. She didn't tell me yet okay? That's all."
Crabbe was slightly disappointed but replied, "Oh. Well tell me what happens next time you guys talk. Goodnight...morning."
Crabbe stood up and walked to the doorway. He shut the door and went back to his room. Draco couldn't believe how incredibly bizarre Crabbe was acting, but at the moment, he didn't really care. He pulled the green cover over his head and dozed off as the clock beeped to announce 4:00am.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Deet...Deeett.....Deedeedeedeeeettt! Draco groaned. He was still half-asleep with his head under his pillow. He blindly tried to locate his alarm clock. With every second that passed, the alarm sounded louder and Louder and LOUDER. Anger got the best of him. Draco pushed his pillow and covers away, located the clock, turned off the alarm and threw it at the wall.
Draco was at the verge of falling asleep when loud knocks and voices could be heard from his door. He grumbled and closed his eyes as his head came in contact with his pillow.
"Dracky...?" Pansy said quietly, opening the door slowly. She looked inside to find Draco still in bed.
She walked over to him and started to jump on his bed.
"Pansy, get your fat ass off my bed," Draco mumbled. "I wanna sleep...!"
"Y-you have t-to wake up, s-silly," Pansy said, still jumping on Draco's bed. Draco rolled over and made small snoring noises.
Pansy wasn't one to be ignored. She jumped harder. Draco could hear the bed creaking. With that, he quickly sat up and pulled the covers with all his might. He did this so quickly that before she knew it, Pansy fell off the bed with a loud THUMP!
Pansy sat up. Draco couldn't help but laugh. Her face was pink and blotchy. She had fallen on her face.
"*Sniff* DRACO YOU *sniff* ARE SO *sniff* MEAN!!" Pansy cried. "I'll never talk *sniff* to you again!"
"Really?!" Draco exclaimed. He smiled. "It's a dream come true. Now get the fuck out!"
"Ugh! *sniff* You are so insensitive Draco Malfoy!" Pansy said with teary eyes. She got up, walked out the open door, and slammed it shut.
Draco didn't care. He wanted more sleep and that's what he's getting.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Hermione walked to the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. She felt eyes watching her. She sat down next to Ron who was talking to Harry. She looked around and spotted Crabbe. Crabbe quickly looked away.
What's up with these Slytherins? Hermione thought. First Draco confronted her wanting to be her friend, now Crabbe was staring at her like she was some kind of strange swamp creature. Pretty soon Pansy's going to want to be her friend.
Hermione shuddered at the thought. She ignored all this and ate. All through breakfast, Hermione tried to find out what Harry and Ron were whispering about with so much joy. If she got close, they would stop talking and smile mischievously at her.
"What are you guys talking about?" Hermione asked with mistrust.
"Oh it's nothing," Both Harry and Ron said at the same time.
"Come on, I know it's something," Hermione said. "Why do you stop chattering about whatever it is you're talking about when I try to listen?"
"Seriously, Mione, it's nothing," Ron said with a mouthful of pancakes (A/N: okay so I don't know what exactly they eat, but pancakes sure sounds good at the moment.).
"Y-yeah, don't worry about it..." Harry said uneasily.
Hermione knew that Ron lied, but when it came to Harry, it was like looking through a pair of glasses.
Again she felt those piercing stares. All this was getting on her nerves. She stood up abruptly and stomped out the Great Hall.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"Ron, that was kinda cruel of us," Harry said after Hermione walked out of view.
"What else were we supposed to do?" Ron asked. He held up a note addressed to Hermione from Crabbe.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Hermione kept walking and didn't stop until she reached the outside grounds of Hogwarts. She sat by the lake. It was so peaceful that Hermione started singing "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore.
"There's a song that's inside of my soul
it's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
but you sing to me over and over and over again..."
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Draco walked through the door that led outside of Hogwarts. He woke up an hour earlier and for some reason, wasn't feeling the least bit hungry. He figured the only way to find some tranquility is outside by the lake where no one would be since everyone was eating in the Great Hall. As he walked towards the lake, he heard the soft melody of a song. Draco walked quickly behind a bush and peered (A/N: Spelling isn't my best subject so excuse my errors) out through the leaves. A girl with brown wavy hair was sitting on a rock next to the lake singing. Her voice seemed familiar, but with her back to him, he couldn't tell who it was.
"So I lay my head back down
and I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours, I pray
to be only yours
I know now
you're my only hope..."
It was beautiful. Draco lived in a world where music was forbidden, and hearing the pure and angelic voice gave him a feeling of sadness yet gratitude in his heart. He had to find out who she was. Draco walked towards the girl. He stopped a few feet away and listened to her end the song.
"So I lay my head back down
and I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours, I pray
to be only yours, I pray
to be only yours
I know now
you're my only hope..."
Draco clapped. "That was beautiful."
The girl turned around.
They both gasped.
"Granger?!"
"Malfoy?!"

**Funny what music does to a person ^^. So sorry it took so long!! I've been really busy with school and all...and I am a big procrastinator. Defined as: someone who is a lazy a** and leaves things to be done at the last minute. That's me!! Hope you like the chapter. My writing always comes out a bit weird in my opinion, but please R/R! Thanks!!**
