Chapter 4~Secret Confessions
Draco's POV
"Who is that guy over at the Gryffindor table?" Draco asked Kelly sneering.
"Oh, the one talking to that bushy haired girl? That's Chris, he's pretty nice.but he has a girlfriend back home. Why are you jealous of him?" Kelly answered him.
"JEALOUS! Me? A Malfoy.jealous of a Mudblood? I don't think so! Never.what an absurd thing to say!" Draco answered a little too quickly.
"Well.I may have believed you if you had answered a little bit calmly, but with an answer as quick as you gave me.I think you may be lying to me.AND yourself." Kelly looked at him suspiciously and cocked an eyebrow.
"Whatever." Draco answered glumly and put his head back down on the table.
"That's what I thought, if you would just admit you liked her.even just to yourself you would feel a lot better," Kelly smirked as she went back to her food.
'How dare she?' Draco thought to himself. 'Me? Like a Mud...Muggle born, oh my god! I can't even say it anymore. Just because she's a muggle born doesn't make her bad, right? Lucius is just an arse; he doesn't know what he is talking about. Hermione's the most beautiful thing on this earth. Wow, I DO feel better.I must have been lying to myself all of these years. Maybe if I just.no, I can't do that.' Draco's thoughts continued to swim around in his head so randomly that he thought he might pass out from frustration.
"Um.I think I am going to head off to bed, I am a little tired.and I um.have a lot of homework?" Draco was a really bad liar.
"Sure you do.well, see you tomorrow in potions and sweet dreams!" Kelly answered sardonically.
"Nice meeting you!" Draco hollered over the loud noise of the Great Hall. He cast one more quick glance over to the Gryffindor table, and stopped in surprise. Hermione was staring at him too! They held their gaze for what seemed like an eternity, until Hermione suddenly snapped out of it and went back to her conversation with Chris.
"What am I thinking? She'll never feel the same way about me."he mumbled as he retreated back to the Slytherin dorms.
Ron's POV
"What is up with her?" Ron asked Heather curiously. They had been talking now for almost an hour and he couldn't get enough. But between watching Heather talk, and casually glancing over at Hermione and Harry, Ron had noticed a change in Hermione. She kept looking over at the Slytherin table, AND he had just caught her staring at Draco leaving the room.
"Who, Hermione?" Heather asked him in a strong American accent.
"Yeah.she seems.bothered by something, and she doesn't usually get bothered by things," Ron answered her quietly so as Hermione wouldn't hear him.
"Well, I don't really know her, so I don't know what she is like normally. But if you say so," Heather told him with a hint of jealousy.
"Oh! Don't worry, I DON'T like Hermione.she is, and always has been just a friend," Ron laughed to try and convince Heather of her mistake.
"Ok, I believe you," Heather smiled brightly. She had the nicest teeth of anyone he had ever met, Ron didn't even know that magic could make teeth look so straight. "So, tell me about your older brothers.Bill and Harley was it?"
Hermione's POV
'Oh my..I can't believe I let him catch me looking at him.' Hermione had continued her conversation with Chris since the "stare down" but wasn't giving him her full attention.
"Well, it was nice talking with you Chris.but I am extremely tired and I am going to go up to bed now," Hermione smiled as she got up out of her seat. "Night, Harry! Night Ron!" and with that Hermione hurried out of the Hall.
"What a tiring day it has been," Hermione said to herself as she changed into a white night gown and climbed into her warm bed. "I am so glad it is over!"
Hermione woke up the next morning with the sun shining brightly in her eyes, it had been so late the previous night that she hadn't taken a good look at her 'Head Girl' room. It was impressive, but not too exciting. It pretty much looked like her old dorm, except she was the only tenant, and the bed was a queen size.
"Interesting." was all she said as she slowly climbed out of bed. It felt like she had only just gotten into bed that she had to get up. "I wonder what time it is?" she pushed away her pillow that was covering the alarm clock and was met with a horrible surprise.
"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!" Her alarm clock screeched like a banshee. "What the.?" It was almost 12:00 in the afternoon and Hermione had missed all of her morning classes. "This.is.not...happening." Hermione said slowly attempting not to panic. But it didn't work very well, "Those damn sound proof pillows! I can't believe I was so careless where I put them!" Hermione continued to panic as she ran around her room trying to collect her things. "Eugh! I can't even shower! Well, maybe if I hurry I won't be late for potions class." That was all she needed, Professor Snape was always looking for reasons to take points off of Gryffindor house, and her walking into class late was all the excuse he needed.
Hermione ran down to the dungeons as quickly as she could, glancing at her watch every five seconds. "Almost.there." she puffed as she closed in on the dungeon doors. "Ah ha! I made it!" she said as she whipped open the doors to the potions room.
"Late Ms. Granger.I believe that will be 10 points from Gryffindor," Snape said casually as he jotted down the loss.
"What are you talking about? I still have another minute!" Hermione protested.
"Not by my clock, and for that outburst I think another 15 points shall be taken from Gryffindor. Now take your seat before further disciplinary action is needed," Snape sneered at her as she briskly walked over to Ron and Harry. She could hear the class snickering at her, and she turned around about to threaten Draco.but noticed he was the only Slytherin not laughing at her. He was just watching her, almost as if he had sorrow in his eyes. Quickly taking notice of her watching him, he smiled and turned back around in his seat.
"Woah.now that was weird," Hermione whispered as she sat down between her two friends.
Snape started Potions class like normal and pretty soon all of the Gryffindor's were zoning out, it was starting out to be a wonderful year for Hermione. Her last year at Hogwarts, and she had already succeeded in missing her first few classes AND had gotten 25 points taken from Gryffindor.
"Where were you all this morning? McGonagall wasn't too pleased with your absence from class," Harry whispered to her under his breath.
"I'll tell you later," was all Hermione answered to him as Snape eyed her suspiciously.
