In Potions Professor Snape was babbling about some shit so Hermione decided to write a note to Draco. Her quill glided along the parchment, She folded it and passed it to Lavender who passed it to Neville who passed it to Ron and in Utter disgust Ron passed it to Crabbe who carefully slid it to Malfoy. He read it and did that cute little thing with his eyebrow and scribbled a reply. On the way to the defence against the dark arts Draco pulled Hermione aside and in his arrogant but oh so cute tone he said, "do you really want to know why I saved you Granger?" She nodded "Yes Malfoy I would like an explanation" "you see-" Draco was interrupted by Professor Lupin. "All well here, Malfoy?" he asked moving protectingly next to Hermione as he gave Draco a withering look. Draco considered a response, he knew what an angry professor could do, and Draco nodded his head. Lupin gave Draco a false smile. " Then you wont mind if I steel Ms Granger away for just a minute" Before Draco or even Hermione could answer he had pulled Hermione over to the other side of the room. Hermione wanted to scream. As soon as they where out of earshot Lupin turned like a hungry dog. "What the hell do you think you are doing? Talking to a Malfoy, You know they hate Muggle-borns, for someone so smart you sure don't act like it." Hermione pushed his hands off her shoulders. "With all due respect, it is none of your business who I talk to and I will talk to who ever I wish" Hermione snarled. Once she was satisfied that it had sunk in, Hermione pushed past him and went after Draco. Some things she would regret but now it was time to find Malfoy and find out why he caught her. Harry and Ron walked out of Defence against the dark arts looking for Hermione. She was off looking for Malfoy while Malfoy was off fuming still. Harry and Ron saw Hermione on the way to caring for Magical Creatures. "Mione" Harry called out as she started to walk off in Malfoy's direction. "Wait up" Harry added. Hermione didn't wait, but went straight to Malfoy. He was with out the moron twins. " So why did you catch me? Hermione asked once more. "Well." Draco trailed off looking uncomfortable. Just then as he opened his mouth again to speak Harry and Ron came over. "Has Malfoy got a crush?" Ron asked, Harry joined in laughing and Malfoy was about to loose his cool. "Has weasel and potty got a brain?" he said walking off.
