Stuck in the Past
Chapter 2
Satisfied with the affect her slap had on Malfoy, Hermione climbed the stairs to the girls' dormitories. Oh if only she could have seen Malfoy with the Gryffindor boys, Hermione smiled inwardly, it was about time that git got his comeuppance and being in Gryffindor was definitely a start for the cunning Slytherin.
Opening the door she found that it was not empty as she had expected, Lily, the girl who had been quite forward on Draco was sitting on her bed, she looked at Hermione and then back at the floor.
Hermione shut the door quietly and was about to go over to the spare bed, when Lily suddenly pushed herself off the bed and caught Hermione's robes, pulling her to the wall. Shoving Hermione against the wall, the red headed girl pulled her wand out and pointed it at the point situated between Hermione's eyes.
Nervously looking at how close the tip of the wand was to her face, Hermione coughed and looked at Lily nervously.
"Now, Helen is it?" Lily spat, Hermione nodded, feeling Lily's grip on the front of her robes, "Well Helen, I could hex you to Hell right now, however I figure that it is only fair that I give you a warning."
Hermione nodded instantly, she didn't have a clue what her best friend's mum was on about.
"Listen, I want you to break it off with Silver, and believe me you don't want to tell him about this little meeting because I swear that little offer of hexing you stands," Lily said confidently.
'Oh my God, she thinks I'm with…Malfoy! Urrgh, as if there wasn't a worse assumption!' Hermione thought with disgust. Lily looked impatient and so Hermione gave her a small smile.
"You think me and Silver are..?" Hermione asked rhetorically already knowing the answer, Lily nodded sharply, her wand still in its place. "Oh, I'm sorry but you must be terribly mistaken, me and Silver – that is one of the most disturbing thoughts ever!"
Slowly the wand went down to Lily's side as her eyes widened at the revelation, "You mean Silver is," she said this with passion, "single!"
Hermione then felt herself go funny, a voice shouting at her in her head.
"Oh no, he isn't single!" Hermione suddenly answered, Lily gave her a confused look, Hermione knew that she would be in a lot of trouble when it got back to Malfoy, but it was worth it if it was going to save her best friend, "well you see it's hard to explain but well he's …."

Draco Malfoy was still fuming about the Gryffindor robes he was wearing, they could have at least put him in Slytherin, but no he had to go with the mudblood harpy all the way to her soppy sentimental house of 'dicks' or should he say it more accurately Gryffindor. Oh and he hadn't forgotten about the slap, how dare her little dirty fingers touch his graceful, delicate face, she hadn't done it once, this was the second time he had to suffer a handprint staining his cheek for a couple of hours, how irritating and it would put off all the pureblooded girls…
Storming in to the boys dormitories he was greeted with the annoying face of…
"GET OUT OF MY WAY POTTER!" he yelled at James who scowled at Draco.
"What is wrong with you, and I don't think that it's you who should be telling me to get out of the way, just remember you're the one that's new here.." James began but was soon interrupted by Draco.
"Oh cut the bull," Draco said in an irritated voice as he changed for bed. Sirius Black growled at Draco and Remus Lupin just folded his arms looking at the whole scene in front of him with disapproval.
"You know what," Draco smirked at Sirius, "growling will get you nowhere, especially in the path that you're heading for, so why don't you just act like the goody two shoes of a host and be nice to the new kid."
With that Draco leapt into his bed, cast a few charms that could only be broken by himself and went to sleep.

Draco had decided to wait for Hermione, he was going to make her kneel down on the floor and beg for his forgiveness by the time he had finished with her, oh it would be sweet, considering the stupid mudblood had slapped him. Twisted revenge, Draco liked it, thinking of what he would do and say he stopped as he heard footsteps from behind of him.
Turning on instinct, he was met with the furious face of Lily Evans, the girl who was all over him yesterday, over her shoulder he noticed a rather shy Hermione Granger lingering in the background with a worried look on her face. He smugly smiled at her over Lily's shoulder and then looked back to the offending red head.
"Silver," she furiously acknowledged him, he frowned at her tone, "don't look at me like that you dirty man, leading me on yesterday without telling me a few important details.." Lily crossed her arms and stuck her nose in the air.
Running a hand through his silky hair, he looked at her confusedly, "what details?"
Giving him a look of pure disgust, she spat it out with tremendous anger, "like you're gay!"
It had taken a few seconds to sink in, he asked himself if she had just called him gay, and then there was the realization.
"I am not!" he glared at her, resisting the urge to smack her to the other side of the common room, Lily turned to Hermione angrily and pulled her into the conversation. Hermione tried shaking her head and walking off but she was caught by the arm, and it wasn't Lily who was holding on…
"Hey Silver," she gulped, looking up to meet the arctic grey eyes.
"Helen," Lily said impatiently, "let's go to breakfast now, I'm getting over him, all I wanted was an apology but it seems the git is too arrogant to even give one, oh and I don't think any of the Hogwarts' boys are too your, lets say 'requirements'," she said the last part to Draco.
"Oh no," he hissed at her, "Helen isn't going anywhere, not until she and me have a little chat," he gave Hermione a cruel smirk, she frowned at him disapprovingly.
"Fine," Lily said as she noticed Sirius enter the common room, his hair terribly scruffy, she left Hermione and Draco. Draco turned to Hermione, he gave her an icy glare before speaking.
"Do tell me Granger, what was that about?" he asked in a deadly whisper, which made her answer immediately.
"Look, Malfoy," she began nervously, "you don't understand, she threatened me last night to break up with…with you, I don't know where she got the idea from! Anyway, last night, she began well fanaticizing about you and before I let her get it into her head that she could have a relationship with you, I well told her that you were, well you know, gay. But it was only to save Harry, if you two get involved then, Harry will die. You have to promise Malfoy that you won't get involved with Lily, even if you hate Harry so much, just please…and I guess I should have said this last night, but I'm sorry for the slap."
Malfoy regarded her for a moment, "I can't promise anything mudblood," he drawled before turning to leave the common room, Hermione bit her lip in anxiety before she too turned to leave the common room.
