It had been a week since Draco had so much as looked at Hermione and
that was just fine with her, just a bit strange. Harry and Ron,
however, had kept an annoyingly close watch over her since the
incident in the hallway.
"This really isn't necessary," Hermione insisted as Harry and Ron escorted her to Arithmancy class.
"Well what would happen if Malfoy suddenly popped out and attacked, what would you do?" Ron asked, trying to make his point.
"Hex him with every spell I knew and then get on to class," Hermione said simply.
Ron and Harry paused and stared at her.
"I mean I do appreciate you two caring about me but I can really handle myself as long as I have my wand," Hermione said. "Now you two better go, you'll be late for Divination."
"Oh, what a pity," Harry said, rolling his eyes.
"You sure you'll be alright?" Ron asked one last time, worry clouding his eyes.
"Of course!" Hermione giggled at him. "Now go on."
They nodded and left, running down the hall in attempt to be in class on time. Hermione too had to hurry to get to class. When she arrived though, she was thoroughly surprised to see her usual seat near the middle of the classroom taken by the most unexpected person. She quickly walked up to him and said, " This is my seat Malfoy, you're not even in this class!"
"Well in the first place, Granger, there is plenty of room here for the both of us, and secondly, I am in this class, I switched to this from Divination," Draco said maliciously.
Hermione gave him an enraged look and was about to find another place to sit when Professor Climpell came in.
"Miss Granger, please take your seat," he said arranging his papers.
Reluctantly Hermione sat down next to Draco who sneered at her. Professor Climpell began the lesson and Hermione began to take notes. Draco, however, just leaned back and relaxed. Hermione threw him a glare.
"You know it would probably help if you would take notes," she whispered, not even looking at him.
"I'm too good at this kind of stuff to have to take notes," he said.
"Sure you are," Hermione said sarcastically.
"So you don't believe me?" he asked.
"No," she said huffily.
"Fine then," Draco said, "I'll prove it."
Professor Climpell had just written a very complicated problem on the board. Draco raised his hand lazily.
"Would you like to show us the answer, Mr. Malfoy?" the professor asked.
As Draco explained how all the symbols were connected to each other, Hermione listened in amazement. When he had finished, he gave her a take- that look.
"Who would have thought I could have shown up the "Almighty Granger"?" he asked lethally.
Hermione kicked him hard in the shins under the table and he grabbed his leg in pain. He shot Hermione a hard look and she smiled in triumph. But Draco wouldn't let her win that quickly. As soon as she had begun taking notes again, Draco pinched her side. She cried out in surprise and pain.
"Miss Granger, is there a problem?" Climpell asked.
"No professor, sorry" Hermione apologized, not wanted to cause a commotion.
"What was that for?" Hermione asked angrily.
"You kicked me first," Draco replied simply.
"Errr," Hermione moaned with agony.
For awhile Draco left Hermione alone, all of a sudden though Hermione felt her wand being taken out of her pocket. When she looked up, she saw Draco had her wand poised and ready to be flicked at the back of Professor Climpell's head. Her eyes widened in terror.
"Malfoy don't," Hermione warned him in a whisper.
But it was too late. The wand was already sailing through the air. Hermione stood up just in time to see it bounce off the back of the professor's head.
"MISS GRANGER!" Climpell called out.
"But professor you don't understand Malfoy he." she tried to explain.
"Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, I am tired of your interruptions, now you two will meet back here tonight at 10:00 for detention, and for now you two can return to your common room," Professor Climpell said.
Draco picked up his books and Hermione's and pulled her out of the classroom. She was in pure shock and couldn't have moved even if she tried. Once they had left the classroom, Hermione had regained her stamina and tore her arm from Draco's grasp and grabbed her books.
"How could you do that!" she yelled as soon as they were away from the classroom.
"If you must know, Mudblood, I did it purposely," he said.
When he saw Hermione give him an oblivious look he sighed.
"I needed to talk to you but you've been flanked by Potter and Weasley I haven't had the chance," he said, running his hand along her cheek.
She pulled back in disgust, glared at him angrily, and stalked off, her robes billowing. Draco shook his head and went off to his common room.
********************************************
It was 9:00 and Hermione had just gotten out of the shower. She had pulled on her under clothes and jeans and was examining the small bruise on her side where Draco had pinched her. She shook her head and pulled on a royal blue sweater that looked elegant with her black flare jeans. She sighed, grabbed her wand and made her way into the common room to say goodbye to Harry and Ron.
"Tonight should be fun," she thought sarcastically.
*********************************************
Draco sat on his bed looking at his bruised leg.
"Stupid filthy little Mudblood," he thought out loud as he grabbed his wand and shoved it in his pocket.
"Tonight will be fun," Draco thought, sneering.
