Hermione~
She was sitting in bed awoken by her dream, for the billionth time. But this time something was different. She saw something. That something was blonde hair. She was in complete shock when she realized this, because the first person that came to mind was Malfoy. It can't be, she thought. There are tons of blonde guys. He could be someone I haven't met yet. It's not Malfoy, and with that she flopped back down and tried to sleep. Tried being the key word here.
She had fallen asleep at about 4 A.M. and she was extremely tired so she wasn't herself at all. She got dressed, grabbed her stuff and went downstairs to the common room.
'Whoa! Hermione you don't look so good.' said Ron taking a glance at Hermione as she plopped in the chair next to him.
'Did you get ANY sleep last night?' Harry gingerly asked also stealing a glance.
'A little bit.' Hermione said through a yawn.
'Why were you up so long?' inquired Harry.
'Bad dreams. But I'm okay.' answered Hermione, 'Let's just go to breakfast.'
When they walked into the Hall Hermione looked over at the Slytherin table to see a glint of white hair. She quickly looked away before he could spot her. Why are you freaking out? It may not even be him. Just relax.
'Yeah you relax.' she mumbled.
The rest of the morning passed without fault until Potions class. (A/N dun dun dunnnnnn! Alright who saw this coming? I know not very original but it'll get better!) She quickly took her seat, which unfortunately was still next to Malfoy. When she sat down he didn't make his usual snide remarks.
'You're awful quiet, Malfoy. Realize the error of your ways?' Hermione haughtily asked.
'No there are no errors with my ways. (snort of disbelief from Hermione inserted here) I would appreciate it if you kept your nose out of my business.' Draco drawled.
'Fine. No need to make a big deal of it then. I was just wondering.' She was about to say more but Snape cut her off. When Snape was done rambling they set to work making their latest potion. It was an anger management potion. (A/N creative eh? yeah I know it isn't.....)
'Why are you so quiet Malfoy?' Hermione asked pushing the subject again.
'What does it matter to you Granger?' Draco snapped.
'I was just trying to be civil. People can be civil you know.'
'Granger, there's nothing you can do. Just leave me alone.'
Right as this was said the bell rang and class was over. Draco flew out of the room nearly tackling Ron and Harry.
'What's with him?' Harry asked coming up to Hermione's table.
'I don't know. He snapped at me when I was trying to be civil and ask him. Maybe someone put something in his pumpkin juice. Anyway it doesn't matter to me. Let's just go to lunch.' Hermione said while packing up her stuff. They then left the dungeons and Potions class behind and walked into the Great Hall for lunch.
Draco~
He had no idea what to do about his dreams or anything else. His day passed slowly and then it finally ended with him plopping himself down in one of the common room chairs. He was reading over his homework when Crabbe and Goyle walked in.
'Letter came for you.' Crabbe grunted while handing over the said letter. He took it and automatically noticed the Malfoy seal on the back.
'Uh-oh.' he muttered. He slowly broke the seal trying to stall the inevitable.
'Everything's alright.' he said trying to reassure himself. He unfolded the letter and read it. It was quick but blunt.
Draco~
I've recently heard about your little interlude with a certain Gryffindor Mudblood. It had better not be true Draco or dire consequences are to come, and if you even think of trying to outwit me. Don't. You know the full extent of my powers well and don't forget the last little chat we had. Don't test your limits son because I can end your life just as quickly as I gave it to you. Now be the Malfoy you were born as and not some dirty muggle-lover.
Lucius
This infuriated him. How could my father think I'm a muggle-lover, and how did he find out about that stupid potion and it's effects? That's when it hit him. Pansy! He shoved the note in his pocket and was about to confront Pansy when he thought better of it. He didn't want to make a confrontation and then be wrong about his accusation. He decided to go to the library and finish his Transfiguration essay. He grabbed his bookbag and headed for the library. He found a seat in the corner, far away from the crowd of other students attempting to finish essays at the last minute. He put his stuff down and went to search for a book he needed to write his essay. Finding it he sat back down and immersed himself in his writing. He was so far gone that he didn't notice anyone come up behind him. The person came a little closer and Draco jumped pointing his wand at the person.
'Jeez Malfoy.' said Hermione hands held up in surrender stance.
'What are you doing sneaking up on me like that?'
'I was just looking at your essay.' Hermione coolly responded.
'Oh is perfect little Granger losing her touch?'
'No I was just curious, that's all. I already have mine done and it's 3 inches longer then it's supposed to be.' Hermione snapped.
'Well curiosity is a dangerous thing Granger. Don't ever sneak up on me again. You never know what I can do.' With that Draco slammed his book shut and got up to leave, but he didn't realize that something wasn't with him.

I know that this is a shorter chapter and a shorter point of view for Draco but i had to switch. It will make sense when you read the next chapter which by the way I'm going to try to post as soon as possible! Toodles for now! ~waves~
