After there last class Hermione and Malfoy were walking outside to meet Harry.

Please Draco! Just don't go I really don't want you too fighting.

No, he challenged me and now I have to face him, do you know what that would do to my reputation if I didn't show up??

Well who cares please Draco, do it for a friend, and do it for me.

With out responding Malfoy kept walking down the floors until they were on the ground floor about to meet Harry. Hermione was walking quickly behind him trying to keep up. She still was protesting about him dueling Harry.

Besides Draco if you two get caught do you know how much trouble you'll get in?? Not to mention losing points?? Getting sent home from school, kicked out depending on how serious it gets. Oh, please don't

I have to.

He stopped for a moment then pushed the door open to the outside, and to no surprise Harry was standing directly on the other side.

Alright said Harry

Take your best shot, common

Malfoy raised his arm about to cast a spell. Hermione standing by telling him not to , telling them both not to fight. Just as Malfoy cast the spell Hermione jumped in front of him causing the spell to hit her instead of Harry. Silence came of them as you heard the thud of Hermione falling.

Hermione! Shouted Malfoy and Harry at the same time, they both quickly ran up to her to see if she was okay.

Er.o my head.

What kind of spell did you cast Draco!?! This was your entire fault!

I forget the name; my father taught it to me, it knocks the person out for a while.

What was that? Said Ron

Suddenly Malfoy and Harry both realized what that sound was, it was a prefect. they were out after hours if one of them catches the four will be in a lot of trouble especially because Hermione was on the floor knocked out. They had to get out of there fast so Harry quickly picked up Hermione off the ground and they all hurried into the school again.

I'll see you later Draco. Harry said in a snickering voice.

Draco tried to ignore the comment for he didn't want to be caught out so late. He kept thinking about Hermione and whether she was alright or not. The next morning Malfoy got ready and started heading towards class. He hadn't bothered waiting for Grabbe or Goyle because he wanted to see how Hermione was. He spotted the three walking down the stairs.

Hermione! Are you feeling alright??

Yes, thank you Draco I'm feeling much better today, But I really wish you two would stop fighting.okay you guys?

Fine quickly agreed Malfoy seeing as it was something Hermione wanted

I guess so Harry said as he stuck up his nose and looked disgustingly down at the two.

Great now lets get headed to class.

Um.Hermione. can I have a second with you? We need to talk.

Sure Draco, Harry. Ron I'll catch up with you two later okay?

Draco pulled over Hermione to talk to her Little did she know he was about to tell her his feelings for her. Secretly he had been hiding it, ever since they got to know each other better in potions class. Also this was his chance since Harry had been acting like a jerk lately.Hermione had told him.

Hermione, well ever since that day in potions class.

Malfoy was interrupted by a loud explosion outside on the grounds.

Oh my gosh! What was that?!
