CHAPTER 2- Thinking of you
Draco was grumpy that day. His mom woke him up at WHAT time?! He needed
sleep. But all he could was follow his mom. After his father was sent to Azkaban, what
else could he do? If his mom wanted him to go then fine, he will. He wasn't that cold
hearted. Even if some people think so.
=====***..***=====
Hermione was still thinking of the face now stuck to her head. Malfoy!Malfoy! it
said. With his blue gray eyes, white blonde hair and pale skin, he wasn't exactly hideous.
But he can certainly be mean. His words from the past circled through her head. Yet his
face still stuck. Malfoy. no! Draco.The boy who had hurt Hermione countless times.
=====***..***=====
It's weird how thoughts like these get into your head. First, you hate the person.
Next, well, you didn't. 'stop it! what are you thinking?!' she said to herself when she
realized what her thoughts might mean. 'Ooh! I HATE him! Absolutely do! he's making
me confused!' she was furious with herself for even thinking of that worthless conceited
prat. 'stop. Ok, Hermione, stop it.' She checked her watch. It was almost 7:30. She
wasted all that time?! 'Get over it!' She composed herself and left for the door. She
raised her wand hand towards the empty street.
.And then came the now familiar bus. The Knight Bus. She went in, paid for
her ride and sat on the chairs scattered around the bus beside every table, remembering all
too well how her last ride had been. Ginny wasn't there yet. 'I'll save her a seat,' she
thought.
=====***..***=====
"Ginny!!!"
"Hi Mione!!!"
"shh.Wait. Here comes Malfoy."
Ginny turned. " Ooh..He looks cute."
"What?! ,GINNNNNNYYY!!!," Hermione exclaimed, but she, too, smiled.
Draco marched up and down the length of the bus but found no other empty seats.
Hermione's table has the only one left.Hermione?! He should have known. Of
COURSSSEEE she would be there! That know-it-all mudblood! Ruined my summer, just
by being there. Anyway, at least he'll have a little fun.
"Hey, mudblood! Where's little Potter and Weasel?" Draco called.
"None of you're business, Malfoy. Don't you have better things to do than talk to me?"
"You're right," he drawled. He then took a seat on the empty chair beside her.
Hermione was stunned. Draco MALFOY sit with HER?! What's wrong with him?
'Relax. He wanted to sit. There are no other chairs.' 'Oh. Right. I thought maybe.'
'Get a grip! ," Hermione thought to herself. 'He is nothing but an arrogant, heartless,
spoiled little brat!' Hermione tried hard to believe all she is saying. But as she looked at
his face, she couldn't bring herself to.
=====***.***=====
'What's with her? ,' Draco thought. 'Why's her face all scrunched up like that?'
Hermione was looking all serious now, mumbling to herself. 'Gods! She's really
pretty.' 'Draco, how could you even think for one second how pretty that mudblood
is?! ,' 'Well, she is,' came Draco's other thought. 'No, she's not. She's a filthy little
mudblood, not worthy of your time. You hurt her before, insulted her, called her names.
Don't stop now.'
=====***..***=====
They arrived in Hogwarts after lunch. Prof. McGonagall lead them up the steps then
onto the Great Hall. They were going to stay there for the entire month of the program.
The Great hall was, as usual, breathtaking, but the 4 House tables no longer stood there,
only one remained and there were many doors leading to many rooms. They weren't
going to use the Houses foe the time they will stay. Instead, they'll sleep in the rooms, all
in the Great Hall. They were paired with 6th years to share a room. Hermione's roommate
was Ginny. Draco's was Colin. Neville was there too. He was really brilliant in
Herbology. He was paired with a boy from 6th year Ravenclaw.
=====***..***=====
The time came to introduce the teachers teachers who were going to teach them this
summer and where they will meet for classes. Professor McGonagall read the names.
Then finally, Dumbledore spoke. "Today, we will not have classes yet. You are free to do
whatever you want, but please remember our school rules. No students are allowed in the
forbidden forest, although I expect you all to know that already after hearing this for 5 o 6
times. Mr. Filch also asked me to remind you that stu-." Dumbledore droned on. They
heard this so many times already! Sheesh!
=====***..***=====
Draco sat, bored, and looked over to where Hermione sat. She looked bored- for
once.unlike before when she sat looking extremely interested at what all teachers were
saying. 'She's changed a lot,' he thought. Sure, she's still a mudblood, but god! Look at
her! He groaned. Whyyyyy! Why does it have to be her?!
=====***..***=====
"Let's go to the library," Hermione said automatically. Ginny groaned. "No, Please,
lets just go outside. I need the air," said Ginny. "Oh, alright, fine." Hermione answered.
The two girls walked out of the castle and across the lake and sat on a nearby tree.
After a pause, Ginny spoke. "Hermione, do you like my brother?," Ginny asked turning
away and hiding her face. Hermione looked at her knowingly. "I think what you mean
is , do I like Harryyy." she said to her a-matter-of-factly. Ginny blushed.
"um.right." A long time passed. "Well? Do you?," Ginny asked again. "Oh! No. No.
Not like that. Any way, what do you think we're going to study? You think it's new
lessons or." She stopped. "Mione, stop changing the subject. Ok, so I know it's quite
obvious.since his 1st year I never stopped liking him. Oh, I talk to him now, yeah, but I
still .um.well, do you think he likes me too?," Ginny said. "Well, I don't know really.
I don't think he knows. You did go out with a lot of guys.," Hermione answered. "Oh."
Ginny's face fell. Hermione regretted saying this. It wasn't Ginny's fault she wanted to
go out with different people. Besides she really is pretty. Ginny's hair, though still red
like all Weasleys, was long and straight, her skin was fair, and she was thin and taller.
Hermione said this aloud and Ginny said to her, "Mione, you're gorgeous! Your hair is so
pretty now too!" Hermione considered. She did tame her hair a little over the early weeks
of summer. Being the smart one, she was able to make a potion for it. Now it looks like
she what she wanted it to look. "Yeah, well.," she said, smiling. She looked towards the
castle door. Her smile turned into a frown. "What's wrong?," Ginny asked, concerned.
"Oh, nothing. Just.Malfoy." "He is so cute!," Ginny squealed. Hermione laughed. "Oh
Gin, did it ever occur to you that he's a Slytherin, an enemy?" "You're such a killjoy! So
what? He's still cute," she said stubbornly. "Don't you think so?," she added. Hermione
looked over. 'Yeah. He is.' 'wait a minute! Where did that come from?! Hermione
Granger, have you gone mad?!' "Um. He's ok." she said aloud. Just as she said that,
she saw groups of girls sighing, looking over at one direction.Malfoy.
=====***..***=====
They went back to the castle before dinner in the Great Hall. They ate their dinner
And went to their room. It was late when Ginny spoke from her bed. " Are you asleep?"
"No. I can't sleep.," Hermione answered. "Why not?" " 'cause.-I.I just can't
sleep.," she lied. But in truth she was still thinking of Draco.and the fact that every
girl in school has a crush on him, except her. 'Is that really true?,' she asked herself.
Almost every girl has fallen for his charms. Why not she? She was still thinking about
This when she fell asleep around 3.
