A/N- I'm a slacker, a big slacker. I know, I'm lazy. I took a long time to update, but I'm back. Thanks to all who reviewed chapter 12.
~Recap
When Mione and I finished, we walked towards to exit of the Great Hall, hand-in-hand. I had Charms, and Mione had Arithmacy. I gave her a small kiss, and we parted ways.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Finally! It's lunch time!" I said excitedly. I would get to see Draco now, and then we'd go to Care of Magical Creatures together. At least we had double COMC today. That also meant double class with Pansy. I was still wondering about those two parchments I found with them. ius Cu? That book too, they hadn't done anything to curse or hex anyone yet. At least I don't think so.
I looked for the blonde head I was so used to seeing, and saw it at the Gryffindor table. I smiled to myself. I noticed Dumbledore looking at Draco, smiling to himself also. Draco turned around and saw me standing in the doorway. He started making his way towards me, still turning faces.
The Slytherin's were still having a hard time comprehending the fact that the most powerful Slytherin in school was a mudblood's boyfriend. The sneered at me whenever I saw one of them in the hall, or at any meals, or in a class. Draco just said to ignore them, but it was really hard when he wasn't there. They'd try to hex me whenever a teacher wasn't looking, and I usually dodged it. I've gotten hit once or twice, but I knew the counter-curse for every hex, so there was really no effect. It was still hurtful though, knowing that the reason this was happening to me was because I was part of the delay of Voldemort taking over. I'm still wondering what might have happened if Draco and I hadn't become friends. He could be that horrible, powerful, and evil Slytherin that would help Voldemort rise to power. The very thought made me shudder.
"Hermione, what's wrong? You look cold, you were shuddering," Draco said with his voice full of concern.
"I'm fine," I assured him. "Just a bit cold," I said faking a smile.
"Hermione, I know you too well. Something's wrong," he said.
"I'm fine! Don't worry about it. I'll be OK," I guaranteed to him.
Draco sighed, but took my hand and brought me towards the table. "Hey Hermione," Harry greeted me.
"Hi guys, how's breakfast?" I said.
"Just like always," Ron said laughing at me, wondering about my stupid question. I just growled. I wasn't in a good mood today. Coming back from my Arithmacy lesson, I had run into Professor Trelawny, which was very odd, due to the fact that she almost never comes down from her tower.
~Flashback~
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" she said with disdain dripping from every word.
"Good morning, professor," I said trying to sound as nice as possible, and plastering a false smile on my face.
"Shouldn't you be in some class right now? My Inner Eye is telling me you have Potions right now," she said trying to sound superior.
"No," I said happy to prove her and her so called Inner Eye wrong. "I have Herbology."
She snorted, and then said something shocking. "You better watch out, I'm onto you. I know you're frisking around with Draco Malfoy. If I ever catch you in any tower, or down in the dungeons with him, you'll be expelled faster than you can say 'Hogwarts'," she said with a raspy, almost scary voice. Almost scary. I sniggered quietly. Trelawny was so full of it. I wasn't scared of her, and I knew I wouldn't be expelled no matter what happened between Draco and I. The only question on my mind was: why was she so mad at me? She's seen me after I walked out of her class before, and nothing like this has ever happened before. She even looked at me nicely, as if she would smile. Why this sudden change of personality? I hadn't done anything to her. I resolved to asking Harry and Ron if she acted like that in class.
~End Flashback~
"Hey Harry, Ron. In Divination, is Trelawny acting, a bit, mysterious?" I asked.
Ron just snorted. "Is there ever a time when she isn't mysterious?"
"I mean, weird. Like, not herself. Stingy, almost, you know?" I told him, uneasily.
"Well, she takes a ton of points off of Gryffindor for us. But then she gives them back to Lavender and Parvati. So, it all evens out. A lot of times we end up losing more than gaining them. That's why Lavender and Parvati avoid us, and are very b!tchy towards us. They're not happy that we are losing all the points they earned. It's slightly funny actually, when you actually think about it. Seamus and Dean aren't on either side. Seamus and Lavender may be going out, and Dean may like Parvati, but they aren't taking sides. They both agree that the points we're losing are unfair," Ron finished.
"Yeah, she's turning into a new Snape, but she still gives Gryffindor points," Harry said. "Speaking of Trelawny, I think I'm supposed to die today. What was my untimely death today? Oh yeah, I'd screw up my potion in potions, and it would kill me," Harry said snickering.
I burst out laughing. "Shows how much she knows! We haven't even got Potions today!" I said, giggling.
"Yeah, I told her that and she said we'd have a schedule change," Harry informed us.
"Whatever, I'm glad I walked out of her class when I did," I stated.
*Draco's POV*
"Trelawny is unquestionably full of it, but as of a few weeks ago, Slytherin is her new favorite house. We get at least 100 points per class. She gives most of them to Pansy," I told all of them, intrigued by what I was hearing about Trelawny. "She used to hate Slytherin, but now Pansy is sucking up so much. She answers every question, and eats lunch in Trelawny's classroom."
"Really? Lavender and Parvati eat up there too during lunch. That where they are right now, isn't it Hermione?" Ron told us.
"Yes, they usually do. At least that's where they said they go during lunch," Hermione said, looking puzzled.
"Let's just drop the subject of Trelawny, it's spoiling my appetite," I said, chuckling.
"Amen to that!" the dream team replied.
-After Lunch
"Time for Care of Magical Creatures!" Harry said happily. Of course, he'd be seeing Hagrid. The giant. I remembered in fourth year when I had tried to get him fired. Father had instructed me to do so. His Seer that he had hired had predicted that Hagrid would be in the way of Voldemort rising to power. She predicted that Hagrid would get the giants on Dumbledore's side, if instructed by Dumbledore to do so. That's why Father made me tell that Skeeter woman where Hagrid was the night of the Yule Ball. I had tipped off Skeeter, and told her where Hagrid was.
"And after that, we have Defense Against the Dark Arts!" Ron said cheerfully. Hermione had told me he was still dazed over Fleur. Weasley had never quite gotten over the half-veela. Professor Delacour was beautiful, but in her own way. Hermione was gorgeous. There's no other way of saying it.
We got to Care of Magical Creatures, and found nifflers awaiting us again. "I thought you'd all like an easy class terday," Hagrid said. "With all these exams and tests, yer havin', I figured you'd like an relaxing class. Who remembers what these are, and what they do?"
To nobody's surprise, Hermione's hand shot up. "Nifflers are fluffy, black creatures with long snouts who like shiny, sparkly stuff. They're like treasure detectors," Hermione finished, a proud smile on her face. Hermione had missed the class with nifflers in fourth year. She had gotten something on her hand. Pus, I think. All because of me and Pansy.
"Righ'. Take 10 points for Gryffindor. I buried some more leprechaun gold. Don' forget, it vanishes after a few hours," Hagrid reminded the class, but was eyeing Crabbe and Goyle.
I picked a niffler, and watched Hagrid go over to Potter and Weasley. They all started talking, while Hermione whispered in my ear: "I need to talk to you after class."
"What about?" I asked.
"I'll tell you later," was all she said.
-After Class
Dean Thomas' niffler had gotten the most coins, so he won some Chocolate Frogs, and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. I was really anxious to see what Hermione had to talk to me about, so I caught up with her as soon as I could.
"Hermione, what'd you need to talk to me about?" I asked.
"Meet me in our room tonight at eight, OK?" she said in a hushed undertone.
"OK," I said cautiously, and we got to the entrance of the school. Slytherin's had the rest of the day off, but Gryffindor's had Defense Against the Dark Arts. I removed my arm from around Herm's waist, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
She barely moved, but mumbled "Our room, 8:00. Don't forget," and then she left, leaving me with my clouded thoughts.

Draco'sgurl- H/D are the cutest couple! It would be awesome if JKR put them together in the books, but I doubt that'll happen. There's always hope though, right? Thank you for the idea of the King and Queen! Maybe I'll do that... it certainly is something to think about! Thanks for the compliments!
kristina- Thank you so much! Yes, I wrote, I wrote! Finally. I'm sick right now, so I had time to do it.
SnickleFritz- !!!!!!!!!! ius Cu...I don't know when I'm going to use that. It might be awhile though. A chapter, a couple chapters. I'll play it by keyboard.
JamieGirl- Thanks for the compliments! I can't make it too censored...my parents have access to the computer!
