I wasn't really looking where I was going, I mean I have walked to the library nearly every Sunday since first year. The way is predetermined, so I just take the time walking there to think about things that don't really make much difference. That was until I bumped into someone. Really we didn't hit all that hard, but who ever it was must have been mid step or something because they were sitting on the floor with their robe over their head. Robe? Its Sunday, no classes, robes are not mandatory, usually no one wears their robes on Sunday. Soon enough the reason for the robe was explained to me as Granger pulled it off her head and stood, smoothing it out over her muggle clothes.

"Sorry." We mumbled at each other and then started walking again.

~Hermione's POV

Draco Malfoy: Head boy. Now at the beginning of the year I thought my life would be hell. But surprisingly enough we shared a silent truce. He's actually pretty smart, well of course he would have to be to make head boy, but I had never really been in a situation with him for him to show it. Anyway, I had just realized that after we bumped into one another that we were walking in the same direction. It felt really awkward, walking in silence and being the only two people in the hallway. So I took the initiative to fall into pace with him.

"Did Dumbledore tell you about the meeting in two hours?"

Draco looked surprised that I was talking to him but shook his head.

"No, usually he tells us both at the same time."

"Maybe he just forgot this time. Do you have any idea what it could be about?"

At this Draco's left eyebrow went up,

"He already knows the plans for the yule ball, right?" I nodded my head at him. Draco appeared to be thinking for a little while until,

"Maybe it has something to do with that girl who showed up last night."

This is the first I've heard of a new girl and I was excited and surprised.

"New girl?"

Draco and I had just reached the library and unconsciously sat across from one an other at the same table.

"Yea, early this morning, I saw Dumbledore greet some girl in the courtyard."

"Probably a new student, remember last year we got those Dutch transfer students?"

"Ha, that was pretty funny, they could barely speak English." Draco had shown a little smile in remembrance. It wasn't everyday you see him smile either, smirk yes, he smirks constantly. But every once in a while you get a genuine smile from him. "So you going to come?"

"Yea, I have some work to do here, we'll go together." His answer seemed simple. I, of course, couldn't just leave it as a simple thing.

"You sure?"

"Why not?" He said as he stood up.

"Well...uh your a Malfoy and I'm not...I'm a mudb..." Draco put his hand on the table and leaned over a bit closer to me,

"Calm down, Granger. It's not like we're dating or anything. You don't have to walk with me if you don't want." And with that he walked away to the back of the library.
