Chapter 2-Something Different
That night Ginny had a dream that Tommy woke her up and took her to a secret passage that lead to a beautiful garden. The stars and moon made the flowers sparkle like diamonds. She was sad to wake up and find herself back at school on the first day of class. At breakfast Tommy sat next to Hermione and looked more excited than before. "I can't wait for class to start," he said as he stuffed a slice of pancake in his mouth. "You won't be saying that after you start getting homework," commented Harry, "if he's anything like his sister than homeworks the least of his worries," said Ron with a laugh. "Ginny your first class is near mine, wanna walk with me?" "S-sure" said Ginny starting to blush as Tommy reached out his hand to help her up. "Come on, let's go now so we can talk before class starts," "talk about what?" asked Ginny trying not to be so nervous, "I dunno, anything I guess," he said with a shrug, "oh" said Ginny as her excitement went down. After Tommy and Ginny started heading for the door, (Tommy pulling Ginny by the hand) Draco Malfoy walked into the room and headed to the slytherin table. 'Wow!' thought Hermione 'he is so HOT!!!' He was taller, more muscular, and didn't have his hair gelled back, it was falling freely around his face. When he sat down he noticed Hermione looking at him and saw some changes in her that he liked as well. 'Oh my god, is that Granger???' he thought 'how did she become so beautiful?' Hermione turned her head when she saw him starring back at her 'Oh my god, he's looking at me!!!!!' she screamed with excitement in her head.

During advanced potions, Hermione had trouble keeping her head on the lesson. She couldn't stop thinking about how hot Draco looked. But then she caught herself and started to smack herself mentally 'what are you thinking??? He's Draco Malfoy!! Your most despised enemy!! Snap out of it girl, your loosing it!!' After she finally got Draco out of her mind and started focusing on the lesson Snape said the 8 words that made Hermione want to run out of the class screaming, " for this assignment you will be assigned a partner." She prayed to be with anyone other than Draco but her cries to the heavens didn't make it in time, "Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger will work together" Hermione wanted so badly to be somewhere else, then she heard even worst news, "this assignment will take the rest of the quarter," 'NINE WEEKS WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!' she screamed in her head, 'oh great what else can go wrong,'

When classes were down for the day Hermione went to the library to research for her potions project, soon after Draco came and tapped on her shoulder causing her to jump. " Malfoy! Don't do that!" she silently yelled, "let's just get this over with" he replied. While they were researching, Draco couldn't help but glance over at her every five seconds. He couldn't help but be taken by how amazingly beautiful she looked. 'Why do I care so much about what she looks like now, she's still a filthy mudblood.of is she?' he thought as he found himself starring at her longer that 2 minutes before she noticed, "what?" she asked in an annoyed tone, "nothing" was all he could say and he wondered why, " it's getting late, we can continue this tomorrow" said Hermione packing up her things and heading for the exit. Draco just watched her as she disappeared around the corner.

The next day everyone in Hogwarts was talking about the Homecoming Ball. Hermione wanted to ask Harry but she wasn't sure how to do it, " how do you ask your best friend to go out with you?' she thought. Then she saw Ron and Harry walking twards her "hey 'Mione," they both said at almost the same time, "do you have a date to the dance on Friday?" "Nope" she said sadly "I'm going with Lavender" said Ron proudly "I guess you and me are the only ones without dates then 'Mione" Harry said with a chuckle "I guess so" she said as she was trying to find a way to ask him to go with her, after a long silence "hey hermione." asked Harry nervously "yeah" she said with a smile "will you go to the dance with me?" "Sure!" she said happily giving him a big hug and kissing him an the cheek "Great!" he said after she released him "7:30 then?" he said with more confidence "sure" she said excitedly, smiling a great big smile "well I have to go to practice, see you at dinner" he said before walking off to the quittage field. Two minutes later she saw Ginny sitting on a staircase looking sad "what's wrong Ginny?" asked Hermione sitting next to her "I want to ask Tommy to go to the dance with me but I'm to scared" "don't be scared, it won't help you. Just go up to him next time you see him and ask him if he'll go with you. It's obvious that my brother likes you" "really?" "yeah, he never, and I mean never, hangs out with girls" "really?" "yup!" Ginny started to smile and got up "I'm gonna find him and ask him!" and she ran off to find Tommy. Hermione sat there for a moment and thought about what she was going to wear to the ball when she saw Draco walking down the hall with his eyes on her as he walk up to her and said "Hey, there you are. We were supposed to go to the library to work on our project remember?" "oh yeah, I forgot" "come on, let's get some of it done before dinner" "alright" she said in a not very excited tone. Once they got to the library they immediately started work on their project. Every so often Draco would look at her like before. "Why do you keep looking at me?" Hermione asked speaking a little bit loud for a library "I can't help it" he said looking at his paper "what do you mean you can't help it?" "forget about it" he said while starting back to work. Hermione looked at him with confused eyes then eventually got back to work.
