Chapter Two

--THE LETTER-

Hermione climbed out from Herbology and was on her way to walk to Transfiguration when Draco came up to her. She was taken by

Surprise at first, mostly because he never talked to her unless it had the word mudblood in it or something to do with the Way she looked but this time he was just walking up to her casually.

"Hi" he said, as if they were really good pals for a long time.

"Hi?" she replied not really sure what was going on right then. Ron and Harry were behind her and she could see they Were both tensed and were ready to stand up for her. He drew his hand and gave her a note. He looked at her for one more sec And walked away. Hermione was confused. What was going on? She turned back to see Harry and Ron in the similar positions. Thank god, neither Harry nor Ron saw her with the note or they would ask if they could read it, she didn't mind at all but, She didn't want them to know before her. She hid behind a pillar and opened up the crumpled piece of paper, her heart skipped

A beat.

Granger,

Meet me in the library tonight, at no cost. We need to talk

--Malfoy

Hmm...she wondered, what they need to 'talk' so much about. She glanced at him in the hallway with Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy. He seemed ok, he still bothered everyone. What happened to him? He glanced at her once in a while and then got back to whatever he was doing. Hermione walked into Potions, she still had the note in her hands...she couldn't wait.

---_*~~

Hermione packed a few books into her bag, she didn't know what they were going to talk about so, if it was nothing, she could get some work done. She still had that thought that this was some kind of pranks. She walked out, making sure that Ron and Harry weren't looking. She entered the library, there were a few seventh year students studying for their exams, she heard that they had so much portion to study for First term itself that they had to stay up the whole night...Hermione couldn't wait. She went into the back of the library, the place where they usually sat to do their project. No one was there, she looked at her watch, it was ten, what exactly is night for him? She took out her books, glad that she had brought them and started reading. Everyone once in a while she would look at her watch...

It was now twelve, and she could see the seventh years were packing their bags. He didn't show up, she started to pack her stuff into her bag. She was angry, who did he think he was? She knew it was a trick, how could she have been so stupid? Yeah sure, see how long Hermione faithfully appearance. She rushed into the hallways, trying to get to the dormitories. She was wrong, Malfoy can't change, he will never change. She thought that he had at least shown some kind of improvement but there was none. She had to bear him as he was. She ripped the pieces of paper into a million pieces and threw them. 'at no cost?' she stormed into the girls dormitories, ignoring Ron and Harry in the common room.

"Girls are so weird," Ron said. Him and Harry were playing wizard's chess. "queen to E-6"

"Something must have happened.." Harry said thoughtfully.

"Check Mate" Ron said happily.

"Hey!!" Harry groaned.

---~**--~

Draco lay in bed thinking about how he was going to make an excuse for not coming. It was all Parkinson's fault,

stupid girl...

Flash Back:

Draco walked out, it was ten thirty, and he was ready . He was about to leave the common room..when the girl he hated the

most, Pansy Parkinson waltzes up to him.

"Draco, where are you going?" she said hanging all over him. God how he hated her. He wasn't about to tell her everything.

"Nowhere Parkinson,"

"Can I come too?" she said...giggling.

"Leave me alone Parkinson, go away."

"May I ask, what is going on here?" Snape walked up, his hard black eyes staring at the two.

"Professor, Malfoy is trying to go out, I was trying to stop him," Pansy said.

"Is that true Malfoy? Even if it is, I am giving you one more chance to you, go back to bed, and I won't cut and points but if this repeats, I will have to take action. Now go!" he said sternly. Draco glared at Pansy and went back to his dorm.

End Flash back

He rolled over, what was he going to do? Why did he even call Granger? Something was definitely wrong with him. If anyone knew about this, his reputation is lost. Granger IS a mudblood and there was nothing they could about it, she is different. 'Forget about her and concentrate on Potter, and quidditch' he thought to himself. He checked his watch it was three in the morning. He got up, he picked up a few of his books. He walked out of the Slytherin common room and headed towards the library, he might as well do something. He settled himself down and opened his books. He started to continue his Potions essay, Snape wasn't going to let him loose this time.

He was half way done with his essay when he heard rustling near one of the shelves. He got up. Who would be awake at this time? Then again he saw Granger yesterday. He checked each row, until he came to the one, which was making the noise. It was Granger. she was trying to get a book from the high shelf, her back was turned to him. He looked at her, she was so innocent.

"Ahem!" he said. Hermione spun around. her expression soon turned into a frown and she started walking away.

"Granger, what's wrong with you?" he asked as he followed her.

"Oh nothing really, I just spent half of the night waiting for a person who never showed up," she said going back to her desk. She started writing. There was silence.

"Snape didn't let me. I don't know about Griffindor but Slytherin doesn't need a dam painting on the wall, we've got Parkinson and her gang of stupid spies and of course Snape. He never misses a detail," he explained.

"You could have told me"

"How?! Don't you get it, I COULD NOT GO OUT!" Draco was angry, stupid mudblood didn't understand common sense.

"I heard you the first time Malfoy," she said.

"THEN...shut up you stupid filthy mudblood," the moment those words escaped from his mouth, he regretted it. He watched her face crumple, he enjoyed his but now, now it hurt a little. She gathered her things and walked away, he walked the other way. He glanced back at her once and moved on. Hermione turned back to see him then quickly turned away.

'I was wrong Malfoy, you will never change' she thought to herself.

'What are you doing to me Granger?'he thought.
