On Sunday Hermione spent the day with Harry and Ron. They walked around the grounds just talking about this and that. She had enjoyed herself very much. Then as they turned a corner she left them, she headed for the library to pick up a few books.
She got five books for various classes. Then after checking them out she left and headed to the prefect's common room. On her way there she heard the sound of paws racing towards her from behind. She just shrugged. It was probably Neville. But she felt horns in her ankle and she whirled around and smacked into someone.
Both of them fell down. And as she got up she brushed off her robes she looked up to see Malfoy getting up. He looked a little peeved. Grabbing a hold of Damien's leash he stood up and looked at her.
"Sorry about that." He apologized.
"It's ok." Hermione shrugged.
"Drakey! Are you ok?" A high pitch voice called.
"Oh crap." He moaned.
"Drakey! Did that little mudblood hurt you?" Pansy then directed her attention towards Hermione.
Hermione looked over at Malfoy for help. He looked as if he was about to defend her, but then he changed his mind. His look of sympathy turned to a look of loath.
"Watch where you're going next time you stupid little bitch!" He snapped at Hermione.
"Excuse me! You were the one who ran into me you arrogant little prick!" Hermione hissed and then left.
Behind her she was able to hear Malfoy trying to brush off Pansy, while trying to keep a hold on Damien at the same time. Hermione shook her head in disgust and huffed.

That night Hermione locked herself in her room and turned up her music. She was still hurt by what Malfoy had done. Had it all happened at the beginning of the year she would just have shrugged it off as normal Malfoy behavior, but not now! He was finally being nice, or nicer, to her, and then he goes and screws it all up again!
She knew it was only because Pansy was there. Had it been just the two of them it would not have mattered. Yet because of just one little person, he went back and treated her like shit.
So finally after an hour of thinking of several long and terrible ways to kill him, she turned off her music and changed for bed. Crookshanks had just returned, so she wasn't alone that night. And just as she went to blow out the candles, a knock at her door.
She sighed and opened the door. She looked out to see a head of silver hair facing her. Immediately she knew it was Malfoy and slammed the door before he even knew that she had opened it.
And as it slammed he knocked on it again. She ignored him and put out the candles. He continued for a moment or two, but eventually he gave up and left. And as she looked over at the door, she had noticed that he had placed a piece of paper under the door. She picked it up and almost opened it, but decided that whatever it was, she didn't care to see. She knew it was an apology of some sort, and she didn't want to hear it.

She woke up happily on Monday morning, until she remembered the events of the previous day. She had her first three classes with Malfoy. She really didn't want to be anywhere near him. But she would have to later anyway. They had a meeting later that day.
So she got ready and went down to breakfast. And as she sat down she talked to Harry and Ron as if nothing had ever happened. Yet her eyes kept wandering over to the Slytherin table. And after the third time glancing that way she saw Malfoy staring at her. She stared back for a moment, and he was mouthing something to her, but she didn't want to hear it.
The rest of the time she busied herself with her food. And as she got up to leave she noticed Damien trotting over to her. She bent down to pick him up. There was a note tucked underneath his collar. She looked over at Malfoy and shook her head. He was really pathetic. But she pet Damien and took out the note. Malfoy started to smile as he saw this, but the walked over to a trash can and dropped it in.
Then she picked Damien up again and carried him over to the Slytherin table. Malfoy had a look of fear. He wasn't sure what she was going to do. She leaned forward and waited until all the Slytherin's were watching.
"You had better keep hold of him. That's twice he's gotten away from you in three days. If anything happens to him it's your ass." She whispered, but a few who were near enough were able to hear.
The instant she left the chattering started. Hermione smiled to herself. She could play his little gave better then he could. And she would prove it too.
A/N: Well, watcha think? Review please. I'll see if I can get the next chapter up tomorrow.
