Chapter 8 "Ran into Malfoy, that git."

"Draco." Hermione hugged Draco pushing him against the seat, Draco slowly wrapped his arms around her. "Oh shit," Hermione suddenly blurted out. "What?!" Draco asked, slightly shocked. "I told Harry and Ron I was going to the bathroom, its been like 5 minutes! Maybe 10!" Hermione said quickly. "Sorry Draco, gotta go, see you." Hermione left and shut the compartment door. "Bye." Draco whispered.

Draco took a long time just staring at his journal. He needed to write. He ran back to the compartment with Crabbe and Goyle, and slowly opened the door. He looked in, they were in the same position and had that same looks on their faces as when he left. Riiiight, these guys are pathetic. Draco boldly walked in, grabbed his trunk and dragged it back to his new compartment.

When he got back he decided to put his school robes on. He then got out a quill, and sat down. He opened the journal and began to write:

Funny really, you can spend years hating someone but in one day, over one cause that hate can be resolved.to some form of love. I'm not saying I'm in LOVE with Hermione, but I like her, she's nice, caring, and.gentle. Gentle, Father was never gentle with me, especially when it came to my feelings. He was always so hard on me, do this, do that, hate mudbloods or you're doomed, blah, blah, blah. Shut the fuck up Father, I don't care anymore.

Draco shut the journal and placed it in his trunk with the quill. He then sat down at thought to himself.

"Thank god these things cover everything" Draco said as he looked at his robes ".but what about my face?" Draco just realized, people are going to notice his face. "Wait, aren't there SPELLS for this? HERMIONE! I need to see her; surely she'll know a spell..." He said to himself.

Draco thought of a plan.

"Where WERE you Hermione? You were gone for 10 minutes!" Ron asked as Hermione walked into the compartment. "Oh timing me were you? No, I just ran into Malfoy, that git." Hermione said slowly. She took a seat closest to the door, next to Harry. "So anything happen while I was gone?" Hermione asked. "LOADS, gosh, we were visited by aliens, three owls came with messages, the food person lady stopped by 4 times, yes, 4 times, AND, get this, Harry SNEEZED!" Ron replied sarcastically. "Har, har," Hermione said sarcastically. Harry laughed.

"MUDBLOOD!!" Hermione heard someone -Draco scream. Hermione got up and went out into the train, Harry followed. Harry took one look at Draco and said "Whoa, Draco looks like shit!" "WHAT?" Hermione yelled back at Draco. Draco motioned with his eyes to go back to his compartment. "Harry, I'll handle this, go prevent Ron from coming out." Harry nodded, and went back into the compartment.

"What the HELL do you want you git!?" Hermione said as she went into Draco's compartment.

"Look, Hermione, I don't know if you noticed, but my face doesn't exactly look normal, do you know any spells that can hide the bruises, the cut and the nose?" Draco whispered. Hermione nodded, she took out her wand and said "Faco Repairo" and Draco's face looked normal again. "Thanks." Draco whispered. "GET OUT OF MY FACE YOU FILTHY MUDLBLOOD!" He yelled, Hermione grinned and left saying, "AGH FUCK YOU MALFOY!"

Hermione ran back to her compartment.

Hermione sighed upon the arrival. "What did Malfoy want?" Ron asked curiously. "You know I REALLY don't know! He went babbling on about something, not quite so sure.anyway," Hermione said quickly.
