A/N: Sorry about all the short chapters, but I can't really help it. I
don't have too much time to write my story, but I promise to try my best
and update more. Oh and thanks to all the reviewers, reading new reviews
really engourages me to update more.
Chapter Three -
Hermione felt Draco's eyes watching her closely as she read a book given to them by Professor McGonagall for the parenting assignment. Every so often she would take her eyes of her book and peek over to see if Draco was still sitting across from her studying the book he was reading about babies. It was completely silent in the library except for the flickering embers in the fire place and the every so often cough made by a random student.
"Draco?" Hermione said putting down her book, "Why have you been so quiet for the past half hour?"
Draco looked at Hermione with his eyebrows raised, "What are you talking about?"
"Oh cut the crap, you haven't made one single rude comment to me or even give the slightest smirk."
Draco was taken aback by her saying crap, not that he didn't cuss, it was just he would have never have expected Hermione to use that type of 'language'.
"Nothing's wrong, and even if there was I wouldn't tell 'you'!" Draco snapped.
Hermione looked at him with hurt eyes. She stayed silent and looked back down at her book bringing it up to her face to block out Draco from seeing tears roll down her cheek. Draco sighed, he of course had a feeling he had hurt her in some way.
"Look, Hermione I'm sorry, but I just had a rough day alright?" Draco said emphasizing the word sorry.
Hermione pulled down the book from covering her face and blinked. "You are?"
Draco looked at Hermione and saw her tearstained cheeks. "Yes, I'm sorry Hermione."
Hermione could hear Draco's voice ringing 'sorry' in her ears. It wasn't the usual 'mudblood' remark with the coldness in his voice, but a calm warm voice saying sorry in a sincere matter. Hermione smiled and closed her book, "Okay."
"Um, it's getting kinda late Hermione. I think we should get back to our common rooms now." Draco said taking his book and slipping it into his knapsack.
"Hmm? Oh right, okay." Hermione said also putting away her belongings.
Draco and Hermione stood up to leave the library. As Hermione headed for the door Draco was just about to leave right at that moment. Hermione waited for Draco to get out first but he just stood there waiting for her as well.
"After you." He said in a polite gentlemanly matter gesturing his hand to the door.
Hermione raised her eyebrows a bit confused but left anyway. "I wonder what's going on in that boy's head. He's been acting strange lately, but a good strange." Hermione thought warmly walking slowly back to her room.
A/N: Once again, I'm sorry to end it there. But I have to get ready to leave right now. I'll try to make my next chapter long.
