A/n: Heya. I'm 12 and it's Monday and I'm hyper. There are some unexpected things in this chappie... Yay! The preview was fake. xD!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL MADAM PUMFRY'S NAME RIGHT!!
A/n2: Nothing's happened, like usual. I woke up at 10:00 when I heard my Dad scream. o_o;; It turns out we have a case of mice... How embarrassing for Dad! Also, I'm writing this at my Grandmother's, too. I think m Uncle was drunk... He asked me if I went to a "monkey boot camp" just because my shirt says it, doesn't mean it's true!
Key: The star things are called arstics, I think. They're around thoughts and emphasized words. Blah blah. I think by now you know the rest. New key: The VvV's are around Hermione's Diary pages. Yay.
Disclaimer: Nope. I don't own a thing. Got dat? Good.
Previously: It was the next day. Only three people knew of Hermione and Draco's friendship, but the two weren't about to let anyone else find out. The two went on with their normal lives, trying not to be suspicious to anyone. In their very few classes together Hermione and Draco were paired up. The first one was in Potions...

Chapter three: The invisibility potion? Is that right?
Draco propped his head with his hands as he boredly listened to Snape's instructions on the potion. Hermione was doing the same, only her eyes were droopy.
"And now if Granger would get out of *slumber* land, you all may begin making your potions. And remember, *don't* screw it up this time!" This made Hermione jolt her head up. Stupid Snape, waking her up. Didn't he see she was doing something important? The only thing she had heard of his damned lecture anyway was that it was going to be an invisibility potion! Who cares about that? Making that kind of potion isn't hard anyway!
"An invisibility potion... Whoop." Draco said with fake enthusiasm. How *fun* this was going to be... Yeah right! He'd rather be making a paralyzing potion and then use it on himself! Stupid Snape, assigning this damned thing.
In an attempt to cool himself down, Draco began adding rats eyes to the cauldron. Then, he added some lime green liquid too. He then let Hermione add the two other ingredients, wolf's fang and a drop of unicorn's blood. They both left the potion alone to let it heat up for thirty minutes just as Snape had assigned.
"So, how long do you think we'll do this before anyone finds out about us being friends?" Draco inquired, trying to make an attempt at conversation, staring at the cauldron.
"As long Lavender, Paravati, and Matthew don't blab, though I'm pretty surprised that Lavender and Paravati haven't..." Hermione answered him as she watched the cauldron, too.
While talking, Hermione and Draco didn't notice that they'd let the potion boil to long, until...
"Hermione! Get out of the way!"
It was too late. All Hermione saw was black...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Hermione was awoken to the sound of a very familiar song.
~^*There are just too many times when people try to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you when I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on but when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind, Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when I'm not around
You think you have the upper hand means you gotta keep puttin' me down
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine*^~
Hermione groaned as she sat up, being immedently brought back down by two strong hands. The hands belonged to her friends. One Harry's, one Ron's. "Harry? Ron? What happened back there?"
"Well," Harry said as he glanced over at Malfoy beside Hermione, "Malfoy saved you. When you'd fainted, me and Ron saw him pick you up and carry you to a bench on the other side of the room to be kept out of danger. The both of you had been making a *paralyzing* potion. Most of it'd-" But he was interrupted before he was finished.
"Hermione dear! You're awake!" Madam Pumfry said, glancing disapprovingly at Harry and Ron, "You two were disturbing her sleeping! Get out of here so she can sleep!" Hermione sighed as she watched the nurse chase her friends away.
"Great... Now I have no one to talk to. Yay..." Hermione said to herself as she looked over at Draco. "Oops! I didn't know you were awake, Draco..." Draco gave her a sarcastic smile and returned reading his book. Hermione shrugged and reached over and picked up her journal and began writing in it.
~^*One minute you're up top
(You better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(Just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top
(You better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(You think you won)
And then it's all gone*^~
"So, what you writing in there?" Draco inquired to Hermione as he looked up from his reading.
"Nothing much... Just stuff about what happened today. Poems... Drawings... The usual." Hermione responded as she continued to write, "Stuff that guys die reading."
Draco smirked as he looked over at her. "At least you were saved by me. If I hadn't of, you'd probably still be there. Well, including me. We would have been the *only* ones still in there! You know, that whole potion blew up Snape'd lab. He's tremendously mad at us now. I think we should stay in here for a while... Maybe he'd forget." He laughed. He sounded so unsure, so childlike.
"I hope he does." Hermione replied, sounding equally unsure. ( a/N: Damn. I'm on my laptop and writing on a bumpy road. HELP! )
"So, what would Potter and Wesley say if we were closer than we already were?" Draco asked after a few moments.
~^*So many people like me that put so much trust in all the lies
So concerned with better things and just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All of those and all they want is to feel like I've been stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line
Watch this I will show you all I am counting down the time
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine*^~
"Well, Ron'd be furious with me, and Harry probably would never ever speak to me again." Hermione said after a few moments of thought, "So, you expecting anyone to visit you?"
"No one. I'm about as lonely as Potter was at his Aunts and Uncle's house." Draco replied dully. Hermione had told Draco about how lonely Harry was and Draco actually seemed pretty nice about it.
"And those friends of yours aren't too good at conversation, eh Draco?" Hermione drawled, "You're pretty capable on your own... Well, least that's what it looks like..." But then Hermione remembered what Draco had told her about his past.
~^*One minute you're up top
(You better not want to draw)

Draco just shrugged and Hermione looked at what she'd written in her diary. Their whole conversation and a few extra thoughts.
~VvV~ It was a nice conversation, and now I see why I like Draco. He's pretty nice, if you dig down enough. He admitted that he'd saved me, too. I just wish he'd show his good side to other people, instead of that cruel side he shows all the time...~VvV~
~^*I know I can't trust or see the way you say
And now I realize you're bast but you're right anyway
And now your eyes have got you thinking up for what you saw
I know now something's got to fall
One minute you're up top
(You better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(Just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top
(You better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(You think you won)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just so you know, this didn't take very long. In fact, it didn't take long at all. But since I'm at my Grandmothers, I can't do anything about it. She doesn't have the Internet, so I can't send this to ff.net. The time you'll probably be reading this is at 6:00, and I'd be working on the sixth chapter by then. Whoot! Yahoo for me!
Preview of the next chapter:
"You like WHO?!!" Ron bellowed, his ears pink. "You can't like *him*!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bye, and I'll leave you with the song, 'Easier To Run.'
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a path
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just watching in the sun
All of my helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler to change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
