CHAPTER 4- Wanting To Smile
Hermione woke up the next morning, determination crossing her features. She wasn't
going to let that prat affect her like this! She shut her eyes tightly, convinced that all
thoughts of him would leave her head when she finally opened them.
…they didn't.
~*~
Class after class she saw him, but in Potions, she never looked his way. She didn't
like the emotions evoked by his closeness to her. Although she tried her best not to speak
to him, she had to, eventually. But she said this looking up, down, anywhere but him.
~*~
Draco was miles away. Thoughts jumbled inside his head and he had a glazed look in
his blue (gray? w-e…) eyes. 'Oh man, am I in trouble! How could I like a Gryffindor?
Least of all Hermione Granger…the third member of the golden group, the right hand
side of Mr. Golden Boy Potter? Sheesh! 'I've really gone mad!' Draco thought.
~*~
"MALFOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!!! What'd you do that for?!" Hermione exclaimed.
Draco had unknowingly moved the cauldron so that it's contents splashed on Hermione.
"Oh gosh. I wasn't looking! I didn't mean to, I'm sorry," Draco said to her. She gaped at
him, disbelief written all over her face. "Why the heck are you looking at me like that?!"
he asked her, annoyed. "You-u. You… You s-sssorr… You ss-sai-d…" Hermione
stammered, unable to continue. "Oh god, is that it?! Gosh Granger, I'm perfectly capable
of saying the s-word. Sorry. Sorry. See?" She smiled weakly. "S-sor-rry Draco…" Now it
was Malfoy's time to look stunned. "Wh-WhaT did you call me?" he asked her slowly.
"Umm-…D-drraco…" she said. "Oh," he replied, his face showing utter amazement.
Both were suddenly lost for words. Thoughts swirled inside their heads…
"MR. MALFOY! MS. GRANGER! After you both snap out of whatever that's keeping
your mouth open like that, would you care to join us for the rest of the class?!" Snape
said, obviously delighted to catch someone for not paying attention. Thank goodness for
Snape's temper. Otherwise, they would both just stay that way until forever, looking at
each other, wondering why, mouth twitching once in a while, both wanting to
smile…
