Hi! Yes, you do have the permission to slaughter, strangle and kill me if you wish to but only in the reviews! I know I haven't updated in about a week and you said, clearly, to update sooner but, as I have said in other chapters, I live in a country where the electricity goes and comes as it pleases plus I have school, homework and blah blah blah. Blame me if you want to! Well, I hope you liked the last chapter and I REALLY hope you like this one. If you don't, that means that you don't like my story plot and what will become of my fic! Suit yourselves!

Disclaimer: I declare myself Alannah Patricia Javier Sanchez, therefore; I do NOT own any Harry Potter characters! "This is conversation" and 'this is the person's conscience', you get it?

Chapter 8: Hermione

HERMIONE'S POV

I, to say the least, was nervous. I didn't know what do, what to say, or how to react to what they were going to "teach" me. So, I just responded. What a brilliant idea!

"Um, thank you. What did you say my name was again?" I said, feeling rather stupid at asking that question.

(AN: What everyone, including me, has been waiting for (drum roll)…) DRACO'S POV!!!!

Ok, this is so weird. The girl doesn't even know her name yet!

'Duh! You dimwit! She lost her memory!'

Oooohhhh! Yeah, sorry, I forgot! Why do people use the phrase "lost her memory"? I mean, she didn't lose it to another person! Or did she? I don't know. That is some serious business they are talking there…

'Yeah! And you should be paying attention. They are talking about you! Remember what Dumbledore said: You have to be nice with her, or else they will send you to an orphanage. Considering the situation your father is in, you should be!'

Yeah, I really don't mind that he's in Azkaban. I'm happy to say that they finally got rid of the old coot! I hated him. He always used to say: "You will be a Death Eater soon, Draco, and you will serve Lord Voldemort with pride!" Why would I want to serve some guy who thinks he is the greatest wizard alive! He couldn't even kill Potter! I, for one, wouldn't have minded him killing the freaking boy-who-lived-to-make-my-life-a-living-hell. Contrary to popular belief, I am a very educated person and I do NOT wish to serve someone, I will NEVER be like my father in any aspect. I don't enjoy making people's life; well pardon the pun, a living hell! Except for Potter's and Weasley VII's, (AN: Ron's dad was the I, Bill was the II and so on) which, might I say, I enjoy greatly. But, Granger is not that annoyingly stubborn and doesn't go around parading like she's the bloody queen of England. Although, now that I think of it, she is quite the saint in my opinion. I only bugged her and called her 'mudblood' to please my father so he wouldn't say that I had gone good! But now with him out of the way and mom in St. Mungo's, I can do as I please. As long as Dumbledore, my actual legal guardian didn't care.

'Hey! You self-absorbent git! Get out of your thoughts and into the conversation! They are probably saying what an idiot you are!' Right.

"Well, Mr. Malfoy, so good of you to join us." Said Dumbledore with those twinkling eyes of his.

"Yeah, excuse me. Sir, did you inform Ms. Granger (God that was hard to say!) about our tutoring session?" I said.

"Well, I was going to do that about 15 minutes ago but, since you weren't, um, present at the moment, I postponed it so you could be the one to tell her the details." He said, with a slight hint of amusement in his voice, "You may tell her the details at dinner, which should be served right about now. Shall we adjourn?" he finished.

While we walked towards the Great Hall, I saw Hermione (Jeez, that name is catchy) looking, amazed and impressed, at the walls, pictures and, once we entered the Great Hall, the ceiling. I have to admit, she looked kind of cute. She always had a know-it-all, annoyed or, in my case, angry face before, but now she had an indescribable expression in her face that just made her features stand out. She had chocolate brown eyes that you could get lost in, rosy cheeks that fitted her complexion perfectly, strawberry lips that looked just painted and her face, in whole, was just beautiful.

When we reached the table, which, considering it was summer and it was just the teachers and I, was only one, she looked about and just stayed still. I, being the gentleman I am, pulled back a chair for her and she immediately sat down. I sat next to her so I could tell her of my tutoring session.

"Well, I don't think you know my name. I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy." I said offering a hand for her to shake. She shook it, but didn't speak immediately.

'Thank God she doesn't remember what you have done to her.' Yeah, cause if she did, she would be killing me.

"Well, um, sorry but I don't remember my name and nobody, except my mom, has mentioned It." She said, looking extremely uncomfortable and lost.

"Well, your name is Hermione Granger."

"Hermione, mmm, kind of weird huh?" she said, starting to laugh a bit causing the attention in the table to be drawn to her. The teachers were looking pitifully at her while Dumbledore was looking, like always, with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yeah, it is. But I think it suits you perfectly." Now I'm talking crap! What in Merlin's name is going on in my bloody head!

'You are falling in love with a girl! Big deal! So, it's Hermione Granger, the mudblood you used to "hate" and she used to hate you! But now you have the opportunity to leave another impression in her! You can show her that you really have changed! Even if she recovers her memory, she will still remember what will happen in the next 2 weeks you have for tutoring so, make the best of them!'

Yeah, you are right. Why are do you always know what's best for me?

'Cause I'm your conscience stupid! I know what goes on in your pretty little head!'

You really think it's pretty?

'Self-absorbent git! Will you ever change?'

Maybe, I've changed enough in this summer to last me a lifetime!

"Well, so can you tell me about our tutoring sessions?" she said; now looking slightly happy.

"Glad to. Well, we will be training according to a schedule that Professor McGonagall, the one over there," I said, deciding to show her all the teachers so she would know their names, "then you will be receiving practical potions with Professor Snape, the one next to Professor McGonagall. Professor Sprout, the one next to you, will be showing you the plants in the Greenhouse. Professor Flitwick, the one next to Sprout, will be supervising your charms and spells. I will be showing you everything else and, since we still don't have a Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) teacher, I will be teaching you that. We will be sleeping in the 6th year prefect's dormitories (AN: Yes, I decided to create one.) and I'll be teaching you in our Common Room until the other prefects get here in September. So we only have 2 weeks to show you everything. We will start tomorrow and if you have a question or you need anything, you can just ask me. Got it?" I FINALLY finished.

"Yeah, kind of." She said.

"Well, then let's go to our rooms." I said. She had eaten while I explained everything and I wasn't hungry anymore.

"Sure. Lead the way." She said as I pulled her chair back so she could get out. All through this, the professors kept a close eye on us. I wonder if they think I am going to harm her? They have already told me a thousand times and they have seen with their own eyes that I had changed, but it seems that they need more proof.

"Professors, we are going to our dormitories. Is there anything you wish to tell us." I said, looking intently at them.

"Be careful with her Mr. Malfoy. We don't want any accidents to happen, remember she is in a precarious state and can't be stressed too much." Said Dumbledore, looking concernedly at Hermione.

"Don't worry professor, I won't." and I really meant it.

AN: yeah, I know, it was a boring chapter but I really don't know what to write. In the next chappie, I'll just speed through the training and get straight to the Start of Term and the start of problems with a certain Golden Boy and his sidekick. Well, I hope you liked it and REVIEW PEOPLE. It won't cost you anything to just review, tell your likes and dislikes, ideas or whatever just do! If I don't get 5 reviews, I won't update! Ciao, Alannah
