Chapter 2
Hermione Granger woke up with a smile on her face. *This is going to be a beautiful day.*
Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. "Granger, we're going to be late. I'd come in but I might see something frightening," Draco said with, obviously, a smirk.
Hermione scowled. *Even if it is with Malfoy.*
She stood up and got ready for the day. He was right. If she didn't hurry, she'll be late. She gathered her books, put her wand in her right hand pocket and went out of her room. It was still a bit dark, so she didn't see Draco standing there.
A thud was heard and then two screams of pain.
"Malfoy!" Hermione said. "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting.for.you," he replied with difficulty.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Uh, let's see. WHY DON'T YOU GET OFF ME, GRANGER?"
"Oh," Hermione said, scrambling to stand up. "Sorry."
Draco stood up and brushed dirt from his clothes. Hermione looked at him, took a step forward and reached out her hand to his face. Draco slapped her hand away, looking bewildered.
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked.
"Oh, there's. you have a spot on your face," she snapped. *Why does he have to be so difficult? Jerk!* "I just thought you'd like to know."
"Aw, how nice," he said dryly. "Don't you dare try to touch me again, Granger. Don't forget, you're still a mudblood."
Hermione's eyes turned into slits. "I can't believe you. You are the most-- ."
"I don't have time for this," he said, cutting her off. "I don't know why I even bothered waiting for you." With this, he opened the common room portrait and left Hermione standing there, fuming over him.
** "Hermione, where've you been?" Ron asked, rice spilling all over the table from his mouth, as she sat down beside Harry.
"Ugh, Ron! Will you please be more careful?" Ginny said with disgust.
Ron rolled his eyes and looked at Hermione expectantly, waiting for her answer.
"Nothing," Hermione said. "Malfoy just held me up."
"What did he do?" Harry asked. "Did he hurt you?" He faced her and touched her arm.
Hermione smiled at him. *Aww. How sweet.* She sighed quietly. "No, he didn't. He just. never mind. Let's not talk about him. He's not worth talking about."
"Hermione, if he hurt you." Harry began again.
"Really, Harry, he didn't," Hermione said with a smile. "But thanks for being concerned."
"Of course I'm concerned. I'll kill him if he does anything to you," Harry said, putting an arm around her shoulders. "You're very important to me. You know that, right?"
Hermione looked at him, into his eyes and saw the sincerity lingering there. She felt, at that moment, that he really did care about her. They looked at each other's eyes, not speaking, and feeling the need not to. *What beautiful eyes,* Hermione couldn't help but think.
"Ahem!" Ginny said, watching them, her right eyebrow rising.
"Oh," Harry said suddenly and removed his arm around Hermione. "Sorry."
Ron coughed, trying to hide a snigger. Ginny glared at him and smacked him on the arm.
"What did I do?" Ron asked innocently.
Ginny rolled her eyes and stood up. "I'm out of here." Harry began to stand up. "And don't bother following, Harry." She walked away.
Hermione watched her leave, feeling confused. She looked at Ron and Harry. "What's up with here?"
"Oh, um-," Ron began but Harry cut him off.
"Nothing!" Harry said, much too defensively.
Ron glared at him. Hermione watched the two of them glare at each other, obviously talking with their eyes.
"What's going on?" Hermione asked.
But Hermione never got her answer, because at that moment, the school bell rang and Ron and Harry scampered away hurriedly to their first class, leaving Hermione behind. She shook her head; still feeling confused and followed them to class.
** The first three weeks of the school weren't so eventful for Hermione. In fact, she was feeling a bit bored. The hard duties she was expecting weren't so hard. Actually, it wasn't hard at all. The only thing she found amusing was the fact that Malfoy was never tired of being mean. to anyone. She couldn't understand how he can keep up that act 24 hours, seven days a week, not to mention the whole school year.
She sighed as she carried her bag and books bag to her common room. She still had to patrol the Gryffindor hallway that night and make sure that nothing out of the ordinary was to happen.
She went in the common room and found Draco sitting on the couch, reading. He didn't look up as she walked in. She put her stuff on one of the desks and made her way to the common room portrait.
"Where are you going?" Draco asked, looking at her.
She turned around. "Duties," she replied simply and left.
She strolled along the Gryffindor hallway by the Gryffindor common room to check that there was no one out. She looked throughout the whole corridor and saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary. She decided to return to her common room, to do homework and turned around a corner. She looked up, stopped on her tracks, and gasped.
