A/N: Chapter #2 Revised
*************
"What are you doing in here all alone, Granger?" asked Malfoy from the door of the compartment.
"Sod off, Malfoy," replied Hermione, standing up.
"What, no dirty language?"
Instead of a reply, Hermione slammed the compartment door in his face.
'What have I done to deserve this?' she thought as she slid back into her seat.
"Granger?" Malfoy said as he reopend the door, "I was sent here because there was a required prefect meeting at the front of the train. You were the only one not there."
"Crap, I totally forgot. Well thank you... Malfoy? Why did *you* get me? Why didn't... Ron come?"
"I had no choice," he replied dramatically, "Since you weren't there all of the other prefects paired up for nighttime hall monitoring, meaning you are with me."
"Wait a minute, What about the other prefects?"
"Have you been listening? I just said they've already been paired up."
"Oh this is just great. Now I'm stuck with you. So what do we have to do?"
"It won't be chocolate frogs for me, either. I don't like this pairing. But anyway, you have to patrol some corridors and whatever. I can't remember which. Just ask those other prefects."
"What do you mean, me? What will *you* be doing?"
"I... I will be.. studying, of course," sniggered Draco. "What do you think I will be doing on a Saturday night? Especially this year, as a prefect. Now I can finally have some fun without being afraid of interruption."
"That's disgusting! Don't you have any dignity?"
"I most certainly do, but I also have a reputation to keep up."
"You know what? I really don't care. Go fuck the world, as long as you don't bother me, I'm okay with it."
"I... I... Wow, the summer sure has changed you. Would you fancy a walk in the astronomy tower anytime soon?"
"I might 'fancy a walk' but definitely not with you."
"Do you have to be so harsh all the time? I might just have to take away some house points."
"Newsflash, we haven't started the semester yet, so you can't take away any house points."
"Oh, I forgot about that detail. I'll just have to teach you a lesson a different way."
Draco lifted his hand and Hermione braced herself because she thought he was going to hit her, but he slowly brought his hand to her cheek, caressing it.
For a moment, she was lost in the power of his touch, but quickly regained her senses, "Get away from me, Malfoy"
Draco looked deep into her eyes but Hermione held his gaze. The power trip ended when Draco yawned. He then left without a word. Hermione slammed the compartment door shut after the swish of his cloak. She was even more confused with this confrontation than the last. What was wrong with Malfoy? He comes here as a favor to tell her about the prefect meeting she missed, then just as she was being her absolute worst toward him, he almost lovingly touches her. And not once did he call her mudblood.
Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by the compartment door being opened once again.
"Lav, where are you taking me?"
Hermione looked up to see Ron being led into the compartment by Lavender Brown.
"Oh, sorry Hermione," she apologized.
"Herm's here? What? Where?" Ron eyes were bound shut using some simple binding spell, probably 'Nahes Auge'.
Sensing that Ron was losing interest in her, Lavender quickly lead him out the door, "Sorry about that Hermione, we were just looking for an empty compartment."
'So much for Ron liking me!' Hermione thought, 'Why is everything going so wrong? Why can't things be simple, like they were a few years ago?'

A/N: I think I just made this chapter shorter but oh well. They will get longer, don't worry. Pease review.
