Author's notes: Hello, chapter four is here hunnies!!!! (:D I read a few other fics about Draco and Hermione, and it turns out that most of the authors are basing the story on poor old Tom and Emma. This fic isn't based on Tom and Emma, It's about Hermione and Draco! (:D. It's not that I hate them or anything (in fact, I think they rule!), it's just that, if I were them, I'd hate to have all these fics written about myself... that's the reason ^.~

Chapter four
"Ron! We're going to be late!" Hermione panicked to her red-haired friend.
"Oh dear of course! We wouldn't want to miss History now would we?" Ron answered sarcastically, putting on the voice of a rich snob.
Harry Ron and Hermione reluctantly walked into their class, each hauling a pile of books which Hermione had persuaded them to borrow from the library.
Professor Binns told them to continue to work on their projects. Ron swore loudly when he realised that he's have to spend another hour working with Pansy Parkinson. Hermione set to work right away, hoping that she'd be able to take her mind off everything that had been troubling her lately.
'Hmmm, I wonder where Malfoy is... he's five minutes late.' Hermione peered at her watch.
"Sorry I'm late Granger."
Hermione's heart jumped, although she couldn't explain why. She looked up at his pale face looking down at her.
"Malfoy, your eyes, they're - they're all red..." Hermione wandered if he had been crying or something.
"What about my eyes?? You - you think I've been crying or something?" he answered her, as if she were being completely ridiculous.
'Damn it! Stop being so out of order to her!' called Malfoy's inner voice.
They both sat there for about half an hour, skimming through each book with a sigh.
'C'mon, I've gotta do something mean, or she'll think I like her or something!' discussed Draco's mind.
"Granger, what's the point in coming to Hogwarts if your a Mudblood? For God's sake, you're not welcome here you know!"
Hermione's eyes stung. "Malfoy..." she fused "I'm just as capable of learning here than you are. Why do you always have to say things like that?" Hermione's eyes began to water.
'Ooops.' Malfoy regretted having said that. It had really hurt her.
Hermione got off her chair "I can't believe you!" she sobbed, running out of the classroom. Ron went over to Malfoy, glaring at him with all the hatred he posessed. He shortly ran out after Hermione followed by Harry.
Malfoy peered over at all of the Slytherins. They were all smiling at Draco, laughing at how Hermione had just stormed out.
'What are they smiling at!... I shouldn't have done that... I've gotta talk to her, tell her I'm sorry...' Draco, frowning like he had never done before, also left the classroom, completely ignoring Professor Binns' request to come back.
*********
"Oh come on hermione. Please cheer up a little." Harry comforted.
"Yeah please stop reading that stupid book!" cried Ron. "Custard cream?"
"Puh! Ron that is so last year! And you didn't even invent them you little freak!" George walked up to them snatching them off his brother. He grinned cheekily, offering them to the first year Gryffindors crowded in the Common room.
Hermione didn't feel like doing anything. She just wanted to read her book, sulking out of her friends' vision-
"-Aha!" Something caught her eyes as she was skimming through the page.
'The South-Turkish Merpeople, otherwise known as the kingdomns of King Raggy, were supposedly formed after a group of Grey-Merpeople attacked the Red-horned seahorses. They all intermarried and created a new race of Merpeople.'
"Yes! That's it! We couldn't find much information before because they had two different names! Ooh, I'm sure I heard Hagrid talking about the Kingdomns of King Raggy!" She snatched up her robes and swung it onto her shoulders. "Ron, Harry, I'll be right back!" wish a swish of a cloak, she disappeared through the portrait hole.
Hermione ran full speed down the grand staircase, her feet slapping the stone steps.
'Oh, why do I have to go outside now, look how dark it is.' Hermione sulked, peering out of the window when she reached the entrance hall. She continued running and -
"Ouch!"
"Careful Miss Granger!" said Professor Flitwick, dusting down his robes.
"Oh! Excuse me Professor."
"Where are you off to in such a hurry dear?" he chuckled.
"Er- to Hagrid's. I've got to ask him something sir - it's really important."
"Oh no no... I can't let you go out there now. Look at the time! It's dark outside. I suggest that you go back to your Common Room-"
"Oh no please Professor, it's really urgent!" Hermione pleaded.
"Well, okay, If I can find a nice brave escort for you... hmm, let me see..." he started looking around the hall. "Oh! Mr. Crabbe, can you come here please?"
Crabbe came waddleing over to them giving Hermione a slimy look.
"Could you possibly escort Miss Granger down to Hagrid's hut?"
"W-h-at?? - "
"I'll do it professor." Hermione looked behind her. Malfoy was standing there, his arms crossed.
"Oh excellent!" the Professor squeked "Off you two go then!" the Professor bounced away, leaving Malfoy and Hermione alone in the small hall.
"Come on then Granger..." Hermione glared at him.
'Why is he coming?? If he hates me so much then why is he helping me??'
It seemed to take forever to walk down to Hagrid's hut. Hermione couldn't explain it, but there was something about being alone with Malfoy that made her feel uncomfortable.
They walked on, shivering at the cold and slowing down more and more. The earth was beginning to get very slushy: huge holes were left after their every step with a discusting 'squelch'.
"Finally..." Hermione muttered as they reached Hagrid's door.
"Eueww, I'm not going in there. It's more like a mouldy shed than a-"
"Well fine then. You can just stay out here. I won't be long, okay?" Hermione began to bang on Hagrid's door.
"Good, I'm going for a walk." Malfoy began to walk into the border trees of the forbidden forest.
'Stupid git'll get lost if he goes in there any further.' Hermione thought to herself.
"Hello Hermione!" Hagrid beamed, inviting her inside.
"Hi Hagrid, um, I was wondering, you know that business with all the Merpeople in Turkey..." The door closed with a small thud. Malfoy pushed himself further, daring himself to go further and further in...
*********
"Thanks Hagrid. That's fine, it's all I wanted to know! Bye!"
"Good bye Hermione!" he beamed, closing the door softly. Hagrid had told her all about the Kingdomns of King Raggy so she was feeling extremely happy that she had almost finished her project.
"Malfoy!" she called, scanning her surroundings. She didn't fancy the idea of walking back up to the castle by herself. The darkness had grown immensly in the last fifteen minutes she had spent within Hagrid's hut. The chilly breeze sent a shiver down her spine.
The slushy footprints, which Malfoy and herself had imprinted while they were walkign down were exactly the same; just two pairs of trailing holes. Malfoy hadn't walked back up to the castle. Hermione felt the hairs on the back of her neck prick up. He'd gone into the forest.
*********
Ooooooo O.O;; he's in the forest guys!! ^.~ was that cliff-hanging enough for you? ): o
sorry this chap and the last were pr-ett-y boring but I promise it gets more exciting later on (:D
PLZ REVIEW!! I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!
