Disclaimer: I don't own anything! I wish I did but I don't:( everything is all J.K.R!

AN: hehehe… nah! I was Just JOKING! I wouldn't wait 4 two whole months! BUT don't review and I could consider it *smirk* sOoOoOoOo… hopefully this chapter that will actually get to breakfast! Lol.

AND 4 a change, I decided to start with Draco! ;)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Smirking his usual grin, he was much happier than usual. He exhaled contentedly, "a breakfast WITHOUT pansy! Oh! This will be a relief!"

Strolling casually to the great hall, he walked in sitting in his usual seat. Amazingly Crabbe and Golye were already there, stuffing their faces. Rolling his eyes, Draco sat, and helped himself to some pumpkin juice.

While drinking, more students started to file in. As it was only a few minutes past 7, not a large amount of people filled the hall as usual. Looking over his goblet, he saw Harry and Ron laughing and joking around.

Grumbling Draco grabbed a bread roll, and bit a chunk of it, tempted to throw it at their heads. But no! He had to control himself. "Hermione might walk in!"

Crabbe thumped Draco hard on his shoulder.

"What the hell was that for?!"

Crabbe gestured to the bread roll in Draco's hand, he was daydreaming and didn't realise he was half-chewing-munching-sucking on the roll. Draco shook his head, and threw the bread roll down.

Looking across the hall, he saw Ron sniggering. He had obviously seen Draco's strange bread-roll-eating.

Draco gave them a filthy look, and continued to fill his plate with more food. Always looking at the door. "Where is she?"

 Draco then realised he didn't know what he was going to do if she did actually walk in. He wouldn't be able to just go up to her in front of her bodyguards Potter and Weasley, and say, "Hi Hermione! Wanna go out with me sometime? I really like you, and can't stop thinking about you"

He gave himself a straight face K; he knew how stupid that sounded.

He let out a great sigh.

~*~

Hermione listened attentively as Parvati unravelled the mystery to why she changed.

"Don't get me wrong, I mean, I wasn't unhappy with the way I looked or anything like that, it's just I wanted a different look, I was just bored…"

Hermione just looked at her, "Boredom doesn't usually end up with drastic changes you know – I know you Parvati. You're crazy, but not stupid. And I know you did this because of something. What is it?"

Parvati raised her eyebrows, and chose her words carefully, "Well, I guess, well, no, I mean, you know I REALLY like Harry…but I…"

"HARRY? You did all this for Harry?? Aw! C'mon Parvati! He asked you before! You didn't need to change for him!" Hermione exclaimed

"I didn't"

Hermione's eyebrows knotted together, "huh?"

Parvati gave a cheeky grin, "With this look" – she stood up and twirled around, "I'm sure to get at least a BIT of attention – in the boy part of Hogworts, and well…if he doesn't notice me… then I'm sure I'll find someone!"

Hermione smiled, while she pointed a finger at Parvati, "you want to get Harry jealous!" and she laughed

Parvati blushed, and then turned to get dressed.

Hermione looked at her watch, "Whoa! Look at the time! It's 7:30! Lets get down to brekkie! Or we'll miss it!"

~*~

Draco was tapping his foot impatiently.

He was just finishing a sausage when Hermione walked in with Lavender and Parvati.

Draco looked again.

Parvati?

The rest of the hall seemed to have the same reaction as Draco's, as Parvati seated herself down the murmurs, of particularly the guy section

"Is that Parvati? Whoa! She looks hot!"

"Hubba hubba"

"Nice! Very nice"

Draco, stopped listening and saw somebody much more appealing – Hermione.

Her hair was wavy and glistening in the sunlight streaming through the windows. Her laughter, and smile warmed Draco up inside.

He NEEDED to talk to her!

He pretended to still be eating, but instead just watched her from a distance, waiting for her to get up and leave the hall. He hoped he could talk to her before class.

~*~

Hermione could feel Draco's stares, and smiled. She tried to ignore them, but he was too hard to resist. Occasionally she would take a snippet of a look, but them look back at her friends.

She NEEDED to talk to him.

But it seemed impossible. She speeded up, with her eating. She hoped she'd be able to break away from her friends just to talk.

~*~

Draco chuckled softly under his breath, he had never seen a girl eat that fast! She obviously wanted to talk to him as much as he wanted to her.

He saw her mumble something to her friends and rushed out to the door, when she got to it, she looked at Draco, gave a slight nod, and walked out.

This was his cue; he was about to say something to Crabbe and Goyle, then thought, "What's the point?"

Casually walking to the door with his hand in his pockets, he walked out looking around for Hermione. Nothing.

Confused he walked around a bit, continuing to turn his head.

His shoulders slumped. "She probably didn't want to see me at all…"

"BOO!"

"ARRGHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Draco's heart was beating loud and fast against his rib cage.

Hermione started to giggle, and came out of the shadows.

"HERMIONE! Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart-attack!"

Hermione just raised her right eyebrow and smirked, "I just payed you back, for freaking me out the other day!"

Draco gave a brave face and suddenly exclaimed, "I mean, I wasn't freaked, I was just reacting, and making you think I was freaked, so…you could feel good about yourself…"

Hermione gave a straight face, with raised eyebrows, and a cheeky grin, "SURE! You keep telling yourself that…"

Draco pretended to be shocked and laughed.

Hermione pointed, and asked, "You want to go outside?"

Draco shrugged, "sure"

Walking slowly outside, it was complete silence.

Hermione was biting her lip, and bursting. She had so many things to say but didn't know how.

Draco was stumped. "How come I can't start a conversation? I mean, it was ok before…hmm…I need to think of something intelligent to say"

"So…" "Great start of a conversation Draco"

"Yeah…so…" "Arrgh! I need to say SOMETHING!"

"Um…I like you hair today!" "Why the hell did I say that for? REALLY intelligent!"

Hermione couldn't take the silence or the stupid make of a conversation. So. She cracked up laughing.

Draco looked at her confused, "What's so funny?"

"This, us, the whole conversation, this is getting no-where! It's like we're complete strangers meeting for the first time!"

And with that Hermione started laughing again.

Draco saw the funny out of this, and started chuckling.

The conversation started to develop from here.

When they were finally outside they say on the seats near a big willow tree.

Hermione tilted her head, and gave a slight smile at Draco. Draco smiled, and looked into Hermione's big brown eyes, he saw innocence, and beauty.

Hermione looked at Draco puzzled, "why are you looking at me like that?"

Draco shook his head and replied, "huh? I mean, oh nothing, just got lost in you beauty, that's all."

Hermione blushed a slight pink, "Oh, that's the corniest thing I've ever heard! But it's sweet"

Draco raised his eyebrow, "So I'm sweet now, am I? I thought you thought of me as the sizzling hot babe of all Hogworts"

Hermione gave the same look Lavender had on her face, a bit "O". "Excuse me? I don't think so! Aren't we getting a bit vain here?"

Draco rolled his eyes, "Pfft! No need to deny it Granger, I know you think I'm a babe!"

Hermione sighed, and stood up, and lifted her hands exasperated, "Oh please! Malfoy! Screw your head back on! I think I saw it blow up really big and float up into the sky, because of all the hot air!"

Draco was taken back, but impressed, "You know? For a girl, you have pretty good insults and come-backs"

Hermione laughed, "Why thank you, kind sir!" And with that she curtsied and laughed again.

"I never knew you were so laid back! I always thought you were the mega bookworm that always needed to be in class early, and never did anything but study, and have no social life!"

Hermione was a little hurt with this, and then realised that was what probably EVERYONE thought of her, she said quietly, "Oh, really", then confident hiding her hurt, "Well! You shouldn't judge a book by its cover!"

Draco shrugged, "I s'pose not!"

Hermione gave a little downcast sigh, and sat back down, slumped.

Draco moved a little closer to her, and lifting her chin up with his hand, "hey, you ok? You just seemed a little down so suddenly"

Hermione gave a small smile, and shook her head, "yeah, I'm fine…"

"No you're not"

"No! Really I am! See?" Hermione jumped up, and started doing cartwheels, but with the last one, she fell and stacked it. She sat up, and rubbed her head, laughing.

Draco laughed at her, "You are absolutely crazy you know that?"

"Yep! Sorta figured that AGES ago!"

Draco helped her up.

While helping her up, Hermione noticed his watch. 

"8:56!!!!! CRAP! Draco! We're going to be late for class!"

Draco looked at his watch, "SHIT! C'mon, lets roll!"

Hermione realised an answer to her little problem. She watched Draco run to the castle hurrying to get his books. Draco realised she wasn't following.

"Hurry up Hermione!"

"There's no need!- Accio Transfiguration books! She walked slowly to the castle, and a whizzing sound was heard, and 3 books landed softly in Hermione outstretched arms.

Hermione caught up to Draco. "See? Easy! See you in class!"

And with that Hermione hurried off.

"Damn! I should of thought of that!"

Draco continued his quick pace to class.
