Chapter 8: Another Year Begins and Professor Krum
Hermione had told Draco what her father told her and who her father was. Draco was scared of Snape and wouldn't get to close to her when he was around. 'Well at least I know where she attitude from.' Draco thought to himself. While he and Hermione were having a picnic by the lake early Monday afternoon. He wanted to kiss her, a real kiss not just little pecks. But he didn't want to go fast and push her too fast. So he waited, he was going to wait until she kissed him. Soon it was time to go down and meet the train. They both decided they wouldn't tell anyone they were friends just, yet. Hermione didn't know what her and Draco really were. Hermione smiled at she watched the scarlet red train pull into the station. As the student's were getting off the train Hermione spotted Harry, Ron, Fred, and George.
"Hey guys!" She shouted and waved. They came up to her with funny looks on their faces. The twins didn't say a word the just looked at her while licking their lips but she didn't notice.
"Wow.. Mione you look.umm." Harry started.
"Great." Ginny said running up to her and giving her a hug.
"Yea you do." Ron said. Hermione blushed and gave a smile.
"So are you guys ready for another year?" Hermione asked, "By the way I am a prefect."
"Like that is a surprise Hermione." George said.
"Fred take you brother somewhere before I hex him," Hermione said. The twins were both surprised that she could always tell them apart. They gave her goofy smiles and then took off to see the new first years. Harry was still looking at Hermione he also had a goofy smile on his face.
"Harry is there something wrong?" Hermione asked and placed he hand on his arm. Hermione thought something might have happened over the summer. Harry looked down at her, smiled and then blushed. Hermione removed her hand but Harry took it in his.
"Hey what is up with Malfoy?" Ginny said. Hermione turned to see an angry Draco giving Harry death glares and Hermione dropped Harry's hand. As they were walking past him Harry and Ron gave him hard stares and Ginny didn't even look at him. Hermione caught Draco's stare and gave him a look that said "sorry". He just gave her a smile letting her know he wasn't mad at her.

The feast was almost over when Professor Dumbledore raised his hand to get everyone one quiet.
"Everyone I just wanted to tell you that your new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher is here," Dumbledore said and as if this was all planed a door to the side of the staff table opened. Hermione saw the person walk though and her stomach dropped. She took a quick glace at Draco. His face started to turn pink.
"Well everyone knows why he is here." Lavender whispered and giggled. Hermione looked over to Harry, he was sitting next to her but since he was facing the staff table he was sort of in front of her. He was clenching his fists under the table. 'Oh boy' Hermione thought to herself, 'I haven't talked to him in a while. Why does he have to show up now?" He sat down and smiled at Hermione to which she gave a nod and a half-hearted smile. By this time Draco's face was blood red and Harry's fingernails were dug into his hand and making it bleed.
"I am sure you all know him," Dumbledore said, "Professor Krum." The teachers clapped and went on with the feast. Hermione shot a dark glance up at her father. 'How could he not tell me?' Hermione thought angrily to herself.
Serveus stared at the Krum boy. Yes to him he was still a boy. He saw that he gave a quick, dashing smile to Hermione. Serveus decided he would have to keep a close eye on him. He knew the only reason he boy would come here was Hermione. Then he noticed Hermione giving him a death glare and flinched. 'Yes, I was right. Those glares of her's are worst then mine and her mother's combined.' Serveus thought to himself and gave his daughter a look like he knew nothing about it. Which was true he didn't know who the DADA teacher was going to be. The look Hermione gave him after told him that his daughter was going to talk to him later. Serveus looked at Draco and almost smiled. Draco had confessed to him a few days ago that he had a crush on Hermione since their 3rd year. He was a little upset since Hermione was his daughter, but he could tell Draco really cared about her. 'Well Draco you are really going to have to work for her love.' Serveus thought. He wasn't to sure about Draco yet. Just then he looked toward the Gryffindor table and saw Potter. Potter was also red faced but his fists were clenched so tight his hands were starting to bleed a little bit. 'No!' Serveus thought. 'Not James Potter's son. He can't like her.' Just then Hermione put her hand on Potter's shoulder to get his attention. He turned around and when he saw who it was he unclenched his fists and gave her a charming but goofy smile. Serveus noticed that Hermione said something too him, fixed his hand and rolled her eyes. Potter said something back and took her hand in his.
Hermione had just told Harry to calm down and not to be so silly. Harry gave her a goofy smile and took her hand. Hermione blushed and then looked at Draco who was giving a death glare to Harry. Harry still had her hand and was talking to Dean, who was sitting across from them. Hermione dropped Harry's hand and stared down at her plate. Harry stopped talking to Dean when Hermione dropped his had. He looked over toward her and saw her staring at her plate.
"Is everything okay Mione?" Harry asked. Hermione looked back up at Harry and have he a small smile.
"Yea, I am just tired." Hermione lied.
"Hey Mione," Ginny asked. She was sitting next to Dean. "When do we get to see your new room?"
"Tomorrow after classes and I will show you how to get to it from the Gryffindor common room." Hermione said then realized that she would have to take the first years up to the common room. "Hey Sean," She called to the other Gryffindor prefect. Sean Clark was a tall burly boy. He had short sandy blond hair and hazel eyes.
"Yea, Hermione?" He asked her from a bit down the table.
"Can you take the first years up?" She asked, "I am not feeling well." He nodded yes and turned back to a 3rd year Gryffindor girl with wheat colored hair.
"Whamf thhhhe mass wooff?" Ron said with food in his mouth. Ginny made a face at him and Hermione sighed.
"The password is Blue Moon," Hermione said, "Honesty Ron, would it kill you to swallow first?" Harry laughed and went back to his food.

Hermione had talked to her father about Professor Krum. He told her not to worry and that he would keep an eye on Krum. Hermione had gone back to the common room she shared with Draco and found him sitting on the couch. He went over and sat down next to him.
"I guess you and Potter will be getting together soon." Draco said coldly.
"Draco will you." Hermione started but Draco stood up and cut her off,
"Don't worry Mione," He started, "I knew this was going to happen and.." He never got to finished because Hermione had stood up too. She step up to Draco, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Draco was stunned. He felt Hermione run her soft tongue over his lower lip and he open his mouth to her. She deepened the kiss and Draco felt his knees go weak and he moaned into his mouth. Hermione broke the kissed and let go of him and smiled.
"Well I guess I did good," She said, "Even for my first time. Good night Draco sleep sweet." Hermione kissed his lips lightly and then walked up to her room.
"She has to be naturally perfect at everything doesn't she?" Draco said to the empty room. Within a few seconds the feeling came back into his legs and he decide to take a shower before bed.
"A cold shower," Draco said. Then he smiled thought about what just happened. He realized he was now light years ahead of Potter and Krum. Needless to say both Draco and Hermione had pleasant dreams during the night. But what they didn't know that tomorrow everything would start to fall apart.
Hermione had told Draco what her father told her and who her father was. Draco was scared of Snape and wouldn't get to close to her when he was around. 'Well at least I know where she attitude from.'
