Jealousy? No. It couldn't be... He was not jealous of her and another person. She had friends... So what did he care? He shook his head and rid his mind of the thoughts of loosing Hermione. He focused on his potions essay.

Meanwhile, as Draco was writing his essay, Hermione and Scott were having fun playing in the shallows of the lake. The water was crystal clear and nice and cool for a hot spring day.

"So where do you come from Scott?" she asked as she splashed water on him.

"Well, I went to Durmstrang school for a while, but then I transfered to Dagonspire, a school in Scotland. my family then moved and I had to transfer here," he said as he splashed her back.

She giggled and submereged under water. She swam away from him and then came up for air.

He couldn't help but notice how sexy she looked when she was wet. He smiled to himself as she promised hemself he would do anything to get this girl.

Draco, who was now finished with his essay, came out onto the green. He walked over to the egde of the lake and called for Hermione. She turned, rather startled, her eyes lit up with happiness when she saw him standing there in his bathing suit. He had a smooth stoamache, large biceps and rock hard abs. He looked so sexy. She shivered with delight. She then swam to him and got out of the water. As Draco slid his long arms about her waist, she introduced the two boys.

"Draco meet Scott. Scott meet Draco," she siad as her arms tightened around Draco's neck. "Scott is a new Slytherin, I offered to show him around the grounds and he askedif we could swim." She smiled at Draco.

Draco nodded curtly at Scoot, who, in turn, barely inclined his head in Draco's direction.

"Mr. Malfoy I presume?" Scott said in a silky yet cold voice.

"Yes and you must be Mr. Green..." Draco said in a cool, clipped tone.

Scott smirked and nidded. He rose out of the water and smiled at Hermione.

"Thanks for the swim toots."

He wlaked past her picked up his towel and walked towards to castle.

"So... Enjoy his company?"

"Yes of course. Scott is very nice."

"Oh. Well then, I am sorry for interupting your 'nice time together'." her got up and walked away briskly...

He called me toots, she thought as Draco walked away. Now Draco is mad at me... Whay is my life so hard?? I have two perfect guys after me... and one... twit... She called Ron that as a last resort. She couldn't find another word to describe him.

She went back into the castle and sat in the prefects bathroom, in a nice, hot, relaxing buble bath. She brooded over Scott and Draco. She knew that she would have to choose between the two of them... She sighed and asnk into the bath and thought about it...
