The tension in the head commonroom was thick and neither Hermione nor draco dared talk to the other for fear that their true feelings would be revealed. Hermione could be found simply walking around in a daze or studying furiously. Whereas Draco was only seen sporadically. However this arrangement suited them fine if it meant the other was oblivious to their feeelings.

Sometime after her realisation Hermione had another tutorial with Faith, these sessions pained her because she was reminded of Draco whenever she looked at Faith. If only he would like me back! Hermione thought desperately on a clear, chilly November morning whilst observing Faith complete her potions task before having Mione check it.
"What`s up Mione" questioined Faith whose eyes held concern and care for the older girl.
"Oh its nothing" Hermione replied with a wave of her hand.
"No tell me. I might be able to help"
" mmmmmmmmm i`m not sure you`ll be able to," Hermione replied not wanting to divulge her problem to Faith because of it`s nature.
"Try me" Said Faith anxious for the chance to help her friend.
"oh alright" said Moone finally caving in to Faith`s incessant questioning. " Well. there`s this guy that I really like but ....."
"But..." interupted Faith.
"stop interupting me will you. But he used to be a prat to me and my friends then we got to be fairly close friends..... However no he just avoids me and stays......." Hermione finished realizing she practically told Faith who she was talking about.
With a smirk that only could have belonged to a Malfoy, Fatih realized that Hermione was suffering from the same dilemma that Draco had been moping over. And she was so glad that the two liked each other that she was startled when she heard Hermione ask what she should do about her problem.
" well maybe you could get someone to scope out his feelings for you or something,"
"Oh My God Fai! That`s brilliant! could you do it for me?"
" I suppose I could if you told me who this wonder boy is" Faith replied knowing full well who Hermione was talking about.
" It`s mmdmrammco,"
" what I didn`t get that through the mumbling" Faith said in a teasing tone of voice.
" It`s Draco ok draco"
" Oh what has that Prat done this time"
" nothing his just been avoiding me for a bit"
"ok well I`d better get going and i`ll talk to D ok?"
"ok see ya"
"Bye" called Faith over her shoulder as she hurried to Gryffindor Tower.

" Well what brings you to the slytherin commonroom," asked Pansy.
"oh I was just looking for D" Said Faith glancing around the room.
"oh his up with Blaiserz(an. blaise). I`ll go get him if you want?"
"Ok. Thanks"
"you can come up to if you want"Pansy said as she slowly walked up the stairs.
" sooo how have you been lately?" Faith asked.
"Oh. nothing much. But D`s been worrying me lately. All he`s been doing lately in mope and tail blaiserz."
"I was going to ask him about that. why do you think it is?"
" I don`t know it could be the prophecy but I don`t think he could fall in love with hermione this quickly. Do you?"
" I think it`s possible but I don`t know. I hope so."
" so do I fai so do I"

"why the hell are you so mopey D? And why the hell are you here? And not in your own coomonroom? And what the heck is up with you and mione?" demanded Faith a little breathless.
"Fuck Faith! One bloody question at a god damn time ok?"
"Fine. why the hell are you here?" asked Faith through clenched teeth.
"errr to visit Blaiserz?" Draco answered nervous that Faith has discovered his secret.
"riigghht. well then why are you so mopey all the time you look so devo (a.n depressed) all the time?"
"Newts are coming in about 6 months." god I sound lame Fai is never gunna believe this bullshit thought Draco.
"Then why aren`t you in your commonroom anymore?"
"yeah I am"
"hardly ever"
"says who?"
"mione and whenever I come to visit you you`re never there"
"you`ve been talking about me to mione?"
"yes. she`s worried about you"
"she is?"
"err yeah! god you`re stupid.just tell me one thing and tell bullshit me this time."
"fine. Shoot"
"Do you like Hermione? As more then a friend."
"errr"
" God Draco you are so obvious I can`t believe she didn`t notice!"
" yeah ok I do but what am I gunna do about it. She`s probably majorly, totally, butt-crazy in love with the boy-who-lived-to ruin-my-life or the pov weasel"
" Close enough but no"
"huh then who?"
"oh I don`t know I certain boy whose a bit of a prat and I believe his initials were D M"
"Derrick maluchi! The hufflepuff faggot!"
"Or Draco Malfoy.You stupid bonehead." exclaimed Faith after hitting him in the bak of his head.
"really?"
"really really. Anyway I had better go. cya D"
"yeah Cya"
Just as she was about to step out of the slytherin coomonroom a blonde streak run in giggling madly. The petite blonde`s lipgloss was smudged and her hair was dishevelled and she had a goofy grin on her face. Faith couldn`t help but yell out, "oi! Taryn! where`ve you been?"
" just in a meeting with Snape" taryn replied nervously before walking back to her dorm room.
what has that girl gotten herself into now? And what the hell is D gunna do now that he knows? He better not be a bomnehead like he usually is, thought Faith as she walked back to the gryffindor commonroom.
