A/N: Yes, I know, I'm such a butt monkey. I haven't updated in forever. I had part of it done, but then my computer went wacko on me and restarted, erasing all that I had done on this chapter. I was so ticked that I didn't want to start over right away. Then I got super busy and forgot about it. I'm really sorry. Yes, and I know this is really short. It just kinda ended though, you know what I mean? I couldn't really take this out further with how I planned the chapters. Only chapter 5 and 6 left to go! Almost there!
Chapter 4:
Malfoy Gets His
The bell hanging on the door of Flourish & Blotts danced as Hermione pushed open the door to walk outside. She had finally finished her school shopping. Harry and Ron had been with her also, but went to look in the Quidditch shop when she decided to look as some books for 'light' reading.
The streets were fairly crowded as she made her way to the shop, and she was stopped a few times by some friends who were also school shopping. She even spotted Neville hiding behind a trash can, when she was considering going over to ask what in the world he was doing she saw Ginny coming around the corner. Hermione thought it best then if she just continued on her way, nobody was that cruel.
Upon reaching the Quidditch shop Hermione saw Ron making large hand motions to Harry. She had seen this a million times before, Ron describing Quidditch plays to Harry, but it was somehow different this time. Ron had glanced over by chance, seeing her, and flashed her his classic Weasley grin before returning to finish his explanation to Harry. In that time her heart managed to skip a beat, and Hermione found herself short of breath. Had this been what Ginny meant before? It couldn't be, Ron was only a friend! She was just dismissing the missed breath as acute asthma when she heard a voice before her.
"Well well Granger. Admiring the Quidditch equipment now? No, I've seen you on a broom, you must be admiring the equipment on the Quidditch players." Turning around Hermione saw the last person she ever wanted to see…Draco Malfoy.
"I don't know what you are talking about Malfoy. Shouldn't you be off kissing Daddy's butt instead of honoring me with your foul presence?"
"But this is so entertaining, quite a perfect match if I do say so myself. Just please, don't have kids. I'd hate to see what would come of a weasel and a squirrel." At that time Ron and Harry walked out of the store to join up with Hermione.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry practically growled.
"How nice of you to join us. We were just talking about you Weasley. It's so generous of you to take care of the mud blood here, seeing as no decent wizard would want her." Malfoy barely had a chance to spit out the last word before Ron had launched himself at him. Luckily Dean Thomas was passing by at that moment and aided Harry and Hermione pull Ron off Malfoy.
After all was said and done Malfoy was left with a black eye and bloodied nose. The Weasley, Harry, and Hermione headed off back to the Burrow.
Later that night…
"Ron?"
"Yeah Hermione? I've finished my homework if that's what you're going to ask."
"No, I just wanted to say thank you for what you did today. You know, with Malfoy. But you should let him get you so riled up, you could get into trouble."
"I know Hermione. I can't help it though. I hate it when he insults you-I mean anybody. I can't wait until he gets knocked off his high horse." Hermione smiled. She loved it that he was so protective of her.
"I'm going to go run over one of my new books before I go to bed. Good night."
"Night Hermione."
