Chapter Seven~ Malfoy's Secret
"What did you mean when you said that Malfoy could forget about meeting you?" Harry asked as they walked up to transfigurations.
"Oh nothing. Malfoy just asked me to meet him in the library. He needed help studying. He needed a tutor." Hermione lied.
"Never thought Malfoy would need a tutor." Ron laughed.
"Yeah I know." Hermione said as she thought of what he had told her when he went off to find her after Potions.
*Flash back*

"Hermione wait!" Malfoy said as he tried to keep up with her.
"What do you want?!" Hermione asked. It was at this point that she had noticed that Malfoy wasn't calling her mud-blood.
"Look, I am sorry. Give me another chance. I can make it up to you." He said as he finally caught up to her.
"Why do you want me to give you another chance so badly?" Hermione asked.
"Ummm. because you like me don't you." Malfoy said.
"NO I DON'T!" Hermione said as she stomped off.
"I know you do you just don't want to show it." Malfoy said.
"Why do you care if I do or not anyways?" Hermione asked.
"Cuz.I.hulike.you." Malfoy mumbled.
"What was that?" Hermione asked as she walked up to Malfoy.
"I.uh.like.you." Malfoy said.
"Oh really?" Hermione said sounding interested. "And for how long have you liked me?"
Malfoy turned his head. He didn't answer. Hermione smiled. She kissed him on the cheek. Malfoy grabbed her and kissed her on her soft lips. Hermione backed away.
"Malfoy don't." She said.
"Why? You like me too. Why shouldn't we? We would be the perfect couple." Malfoy said.
"Because Draco.I'm a mud-blood, you're a pure-blood. It wouldn't be right. Think about what your father would say." Hermione said.
"Lucius wouldn't care. He.he never cares." Malfoy said looking down.
"What makes you say that?" Hermione asked.
"He.he.it's just the way he acts. I know he hates me." Malfoy said with a look of anger in his eyes.
"Draco are you ok?" Hermione asked.
"Huh? Yea I am ok. So are we still up for the meeting?" Malfoy asked. Hermione shook her head. She couldn't deny now.
*******
"Hermione? Hermione?" Hermione came back to the real world.
"What?" She asked.
"Where are you going?" Harry asked. Hermione had completely missed the Transfiguration room. She had gone about 7 ft. past it.
"He he.I guess I wasn't paying attention." She turned around and walked into the room.
They had Transfiguration with the Slytherin also. Hermione saw Malfoy sitting by Crabbe and Goyle he smiled at Hermione. Hermione gave a weak smile back. Ron saw this.
"Why are you smiling at him?" He asked.
"No reason." Hermione said.
She followed Harry Ron and Carine to four seats. Carine and Ron sat in a row and Harry and Hermione sat in a row. Harry smiled at Hermione. Hermione smiled back. Harry stared at her eyes. Hermione looked away. She remembered what Ginny had said.
"Harry? I have a question. Do you like me?" She asked.
Harry looked at her with a shocked look on his face. "You mean like as a friend?" Harry asked.
"No.I mean really like me." Hermione said. Harry looked away.
"No where'd you hear that?" He asked.
"No one..." Hermione replied, "I was just wondering."
Harry smiled. Hermione waited for Professor McGonagall to enter.
"Wait Hermione, after class can you meet me by the lake?" Harry asked.
"I...I can't I need to look something up in the Library." Hermione said, "But maybe after that. How about 6."
Harry smiled. "Yea ok." He replied.
Professor McGonagall entered the room.
"Hello class. Today will just be a basic lesson on how to change a potato into a mouse. It is just a simple review from last year." She said as she got out a bag of potatoes.
Malfoy looked over at Hermione. He wanted to be her partner so bad.
"Now I will be placing you into groups of three. Parvati Carine and... Crabbe, Padma Ron and Lavender, Hermione Harry and Draco..." The Professor called everyone into groups.
Hermione sighed she didn't want to be in Draco's group, but at least Harry was in her group.
Draco came over to their table. "Alright let's get this over with. Potter you can do the work I have to talk to the mud-blood."
Hermione gave Draco an angry look as Draco said this. Draco saw her glare he then corrected himself, "I mean Hermione."
Hermione smiled. "Draco, me and Harry are a team, what you don't know is that we do things together not as separates."
Draco imagined something wrong. He shook his head. That was a bad thought. Harry got out his wand. He handed Hermione her wand.
"Thank you Harry. Maybe Malfoy could learn something from you." She said as she glared up at Malfoy.
Malfoy looked away. He grabbed his wand to.
"OK now I want you to look through the book to find the right page where the spell is found." Professor McGonagall said.
Hermione opened her book. She turned to a page with a simple spell.
"OK Guys its Alanoka." She said. Harry pointed his wand at the potato.
"Alanka!" He said.
"No Harry not Alanka Alanoka." Hermione corrected him.
"Alanoka!" Harry shouted. The potato instantly turned into a mouse.
"HARRY YOU DID IT!" Hermione said as she kissed him on the cheek.
Malfoy watched her. He turned his head as he wiped away a tear. He hoped no one had seen it.
"You think that is something watch this." Malfoy looked at the page in the book and shouted, "Amaka!"
The mouse turned back into a potato. Hermione smiled.
"Great job Draco!" She turned back to Harry who was blushing.
*I don't get it. Why didn't she give me a kiss too?* Malfoy thought to himself. He turned away from Hermione.
"I see one group has already done it" Professor McGonagall said aloud. She smiled brightly at Harry and Hermione. She ignored Malfoy.
"But professor it was not me but Harry and Draco." Hermione said smiling.
"Oh? Well I guess with a little bit of help some students can go to the top of their classes." McGonagall said cheerfully looking at Malfoy.
Class ended a few hours after that. Hermione was glad to get out of there. She went walking away with Harry. Malfoy bumped into her.
"Are you coming?" He asked.
"Oh...yea I will be there in a few." Hermione replied as she walked off with Harry.
Malfoy headed up to the Library he had to get everything ready. If he wanted to impress Hermione he was going to do it right.
