Chapter 7 "Sounds like Malfoy is PMSing"

Before long, people began to arrive, and before he knew it Crabbe and Goyle were in the compartment with him. Draco was sick of these two lug heads. But he managed to live with them all year. Besides if he told them he didn't want to have anything more to do with them, they wouldn't GET it, and they'd continue to follow him around like Draco never said a word.

"You look like shit." Crabbe commented. Goyle laughed hysterically. Morons.

'Why thank you, so KIND of you to notice, Vincent!" Draco replied, giving Goyle a glare, which caused him to stop laughing. Draco never told them about his father, any time Goyle or Crabbe noticed and asked about it, Draco made up some bullshit story that only Crabbe and Goyle would believe. They're stupid like that.

"Now shut up and let me sleep." Draco demanded. Neither Crabbe nor Goyle breathed a word while Draco slept. They were under impression that Draco could summon his father at any given time, and Crabbe and Goyle were absolutely FRIGHTENED of Lucius Malfoy. They had every right, I mean, he beats Draco, but they don't know that now do they? Or do they.

While Draco slept, Crabbe saw the Journal, that was now on the floor, he, as quietly as he could picked it up and began to sound the words out in his head. Even though Crabbe didn't understand half of the words, he had a good idea about what Draco was implying in the entry. He poked Goyle and Goyle slowly read it. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Before long, people began to arrive, and before she knew it Harry and Ron were in the compartment with her. She had missed them both dearly, but right now she wanted to be with Draco, what WAS the, enemy. He needed someone right now and surely that someone was neither Crabbe nor Goyle. He needed her, even if he didn't know it.

"Hey Ron, Harry!" She said as happily as she could. She hugged Harry and then hugged Ron.

"So 'Mione how was your summer?" Harry asked. "Oh it was OK, my mom had a baby, she named him Bryan, I hope he's a wizard. But all he did was CRY and it annoyed me so."

"Wow, congrats to your mom Herm!" Ron said. Hermione nodded. "How was YOUR summer Harry?" She asked, readying herself for a long wah-wah about the Dursley's. "It was pretty bad, I'm surprised they haven't kicked me out yet. Dudley kept making up thinks like, I said the M word, and I'd just keep getting into trouble. That fat ass is in major trouble when I'm through next year." Harry said almost as if he was talking to himself.

"How horrid," Hermione commented. "Ron?" She said, implying how Ron's summer went. "It was fine, Charlie visited, Bill WAS going to visit but he couldn't find time.Fred and George's business is going pretty good, they almost have enough to leave the house! Oh and Ginny, um, I don't remember." Ron looked around the room.

Silence followed for a while.

Suddenly there was a slam from across the train, following loud cursing from what sounded to be Draco, then that followed another slam.

"Sounds like Malfoy is PMSing." Ron commented grinning. Harry laughed, Hermione smiled weakly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Draco woke up, Goyle and Crabbe were looking at his journal. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?!" Draco screamed. Goyle and Crabbe jumped and threw the journal at Draco hitting his stomach. Draco screamed in pain. Crabbe and Goyle sitting there, scared as hell. Goyle peed his pants. It took a minute for Draco to catch his breath and for the pain to go away. When it was all gone Draco began to yell more, "Did you READ it?" He yelled. "Crabbe and Goyle nodded. "HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF A LITTLE THING CALLED PRIVACY? Huh?" He screamed, grabbed the Journal and jerked the compartment door open, stepped out and slammed it shut. "WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY THINK THEY WERE DOING?" He yelled as he found an empty compartment, went in and slammed it shut.

He looked out the window as the train moved and wondered how much longer it would be till they got to Hogwarts.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"UM, I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Hermione blurted out. "Oh thanks for sharing Hermione!" Ron said making a face. "Shut up, Ron." Hermione left.

Hermione went up and down the train looking in compartment windows for Draco, finally she found the one he was in. She opened up the door.

"Um, hi." She said quietly. Draco looked up at her. "What're you doing here?" Draco asked. "I heard your little outburst. what happened?" Hermione replied.

"They read my journal.they weren't supposed to know about my father, they just weren't. But they know now." Draco said, with his eyes tearing up.

Hermione took the journal from his hand, "Can I read it?" she asked. "Fine," Draco said giving in. She sat next to him and began to read.

Hermione sat silent as she read the one and only entry. When she finished, she said 'I bet they didn't understand half of it." She said trying to be assuring. "I'm sure they understand 'being beat senseless by your father does that to you.' They're not THAT incredibly stupid." Draco said quietly. "Yeah, I guess so. I'm sorry Draco." She turned her head and looked at the floor

Draco looked at Hermione, then he looked at the floor, then he looked at Hermione again, he then touched her face, and turned it to face him. He then bent in and kissed her softly on the lips. Hermione kissed back, parting her lips slightly to allow his tongue in, he did the same, deepening the kiss. When the kiss was over with, Hermione looked Draco in the eyes
