"Hey," Draco said and Hermione, who had been reading her book and not noticing that Draco had walked up to her with Ginny on his side, looked up.
"Ron! Where were you last night? You were in the Hall at dinner, but you didn't come back to Gryffindor Tower. I thought you went to bed, but Harry said you weren't in the dormitory." Hermione said this all in one breath. Draco shrugged.
"Snape gave me detention cuz I was, and I quote 'Walking too loudly'" Draco said and sat down next to Hermione. He looked up at Ginny who was watching them with a stupid smile on her face. That pissed Draco off, he wanted to kick her-or perhaps, without touching her, jinx her. But Hermione would ask questions. "Do you mind?!" Draco asked rudely at Ginny. She jumped and shook her head and walked away, startled. Draco a laugh and looked back at Hermione. She had gone back to reading.
"Hermione." He said her name (obviously...). She looked up.
"Hmm?"
"Talk to me. What are you reading?"
"Hogwarts, A history" She answered. Draco didn't know it was Hermione's hobby to read Hog warts, A History too many times. He didn't know she had memorized the book in their 3rd year. He sat back.
"Which part are you on? Have you read the part about Slytherin BEFORE he got married with that woman ? Now *he* was a player...He's another Zeus!" Hermione stared at him.
"How do you know all this?" She asked.
"Erm...Harry told me."
"Harry hasn't read it either. Well-at least he has and he's been lying to me for no reason, but I doubt the would. Have you read it?" Draco shrugged. 'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!' He said.
"I don't feel good." He said quickly. Hermione's face softened and she put her hand on his forehead Draco couldn't help but smile.
"You don't have a fever, but I could take you to Madam Pomfrey..." Hermione offered. 'And spend the rest of the day in the Hospital Wing when I can spend it with you?' Draco thought.
"No thanks. I guess I'm just...tired..." Draco said. 'Yeah, sure, tired.' He thought. Hermione pulled another book off from the ground. Draco stared at the thickness and when she opened the book, he stared the tiny ness of the font.
"Potions" Hermione said and pointed to a potion called the polyjuice Potion. Draco had remembered it from the O.W.Ls from last year. He hadn't studied that and hadn't gotten a very high score on it. Hermione smiled.
"Remember when you thought that Malfoy was the heir of Slytherin?" She asked. This caught Draco's full attention, if she already didn't have it. 'Whaa---???' He thought. Hermione shook her head. "That was an awful year...poor Harry..." She said and flipped the page. 'Me? Slytherin's Heir? Hah, Weasley's an idiot. If only I *was* the Heir of Slytherin-No, I shouldn't think that. What would Voldemort say?' another voice in his head said 'Who cares? You're Ron Weasley now' Draco nodded, and Hermione thought it was the Harry comment. She narrowed her head and read. Draco watched her for a few minutes, staring at her biting her bottom lip and staring at her eyes which were following every line. Her eyebrows narrowed so she could see better. He noticed she had rings under her eyes, that was probably from her reading at night.
"Herm?" He said softly, in a very un-Malfoy-like manner. She looked up quickly. "Hmm?" She replied. He slipped his hand under hers and held it.
"You're tired." He said and hugged her. Hermione sat stiffly not pushing him away, nor hugging him back. "What's wrong?" He asked. Hermione didn't say anything, nor do anything. "Are you okay?" She nodded and went back to her book. Draco sighed and shut the book. She blinked and raised her eyebrows as if to say 'What-do-you-think-you're-doing?'. Draco held the book and touched the bottom of her eyes where the dark skin remained. "You're reading too much, come on let's go for a walk." He said. Hermione still didn't say anything. "I won't give you're book back unless you do." She hopped up and Draco smiled at his brilliance.
****
Draco eyed that trees of the edge of the Dark Forest hungrily. Oh, what he would do if he could just grab Hermione and throw her on one of those trees and take her there? He couldn't though, he knew. That would be too soon. He had to play his role, although he was very new at it. Hermione was staring at the sky thinking, he could tell. What happened to that bossy loud girl Draco had known?
"Why are you so quiet?" He asked and Hermione gave a heavy shrugg.
"Just thinking" She answered. Draco stopped and cupped her face in his hands (How 'Dracolike', Huh?) Hermione stared at his face as he searched hers.
"What are you thinking about? Is everything okay?" He asked. Hermione nodded and pulled away.
"I was just thinking about Harry" A pang of jealousy hit Draco as he looked at her. She continued. "He's--it's just...horrible. Why is it that Harry's suffering so much? Why him? He's so strong. His whole family died and now...Sirius." She let out a shaky breath. "I'm sorry, I should be thinking happy thoughts. My parents hired a therapist for me this summer because I was depressed all the time." Draco stared blankly. There was no such thing as therapists in the wizarding world. If they felt sad there was always Mr. Smilies peppy preppy pills they could take that got them happy and energetic again. "A therapist is someone who you talk to and makes you helps you out. I dunno, I don't think I need one, but...My parents do...so...whatever..." She said and bit her bottom lip.
"You don't need help. You're brilliant." He said and Hermione smiled. He squeezed her hand and held it tight.

AN: This is a little longer, but not very long, sorry. Next chapter Draco uses his "powers" of being Hermione's boyfriend and Ron wakes up.
