~*~*~*~*~*~* CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: INCOUNTERS WITH THE SLYTHERIN
Ron saw them first and nudged Harry hard in the stomach.
"Ouch! Hey Ron what was that for! You just about bloody killed m--" Harry stopped as Ron pointed to Draco and Blaise walking towards them, well towards Hermione that is.
Ron hurried over and stood in front of Hermione, blocking her from Malfoy.
"Move Weasley!" Draco said annoyed
"No! What do you want with her anyway?" Ron snapped back
"I just need to talk to her!" Draco said very agitated trying to get past Ron.
"I don't think so" Harry said, tone cold.
"What is it with you two! I just need to tell Hermione something!" Draco hissed
"Whatever you can say to Hermione you can say to us too!" Ron shouted
"Yea!" Neville piped in.
Soon, Ginny, Luna, and Neville had Hermione surrounded and all looked up, smirks on their faces to Draco. Seeing that there was no way he could get to Hermione, being outnumbered 2 to 6, Draco said "Fine" and walked off with Blaise.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione's heart sank. She wanted to know what Draco had to say to her, but she quickly diminished the thought and attempted to look anywhere but at her friends and at Draco who had moved to the opposite side of the room.
~*~*~*~*~* Weeks had passed, the six continued D.A. and without any knowing it, time had sped by. Harry wondered when the attack would come and what would happen but he didn't suspect anything for at least a month's time.
"MR. POTTER!" Snape yelled pulling Harry out of his thoughts.
"Yes Professor, I know" Harry said, eyes focused shamefully on the floor.
"Mr. Potter you have *got to get this right. The Finite Incantatem is one of the most important spells to know in battle. If used correctly, it could block the spell used your opponent completely! Now C'mon, lets have another go."
Harry nodded, and slowly made him way to the other side of the room.
Hermione, Ron and the others were paired off practicing. He knew why Snape had to be his partner, but that didn't mean that he liked it. The others looked like they were having fun, as Harry stared longingly across the room at everyone laughing about something Lavender had said.
"Mr. Potter please return your focus to the spell!" Snape hissed
"Yes Professor."
~*~*~*~*~*~*
The weeks had dragged on for the "golden trio". Harry was frustrated with D.A. It hadn't been as challenging before it was "legal" but then again, Harry had been the one teaching it.
Hermione was still somewhat moping about but she was starting to get over Draco. She figured it would be a wound that would heal in time. Hermione had gotten the shock of her life when Draco had joined D.A. Of course she was happy and proud of him but still...
"Hermione!" Harry called
"Yes Harry?" Hermione replied, dismissing her thoughts.
"Hermione I was wondering if I could borrow your Transfiguration homework?"
"Harry!"
"I know, but with D.A. and all I forgot about it. You know that D.A is more important. Please?"
Harry had told Ginny, Hermione, and Ron about the dream excluding of course the part about Hermione and Draco, under Dumbledore's instruction and all three had agreed to learn as much as possible from D.A. placing that at the top of their priorities.
Hermione sighed. "Alright, I'll go get it. Wait here"
Hermione trudged to the common room, not really paying attention to where she was going when she ran into someone.
"Sorry!" Hermione said.
It was then that Hermione let out a little gasp as she looked up into the familiar face of Draco Malfoy
