It was quite early in the morning when Hermione woke
up. Hermione groaned in pain as she brought a hand up to rub her head. Last
night she had fallen asleep in the wrong position causing her neck to have pain
when turning it. Hermione got off her bed, quite slowly, and headed to her
bathroom to take a hot shower. Maybe this would make her feel better.
Hermione threw on her school
uniform, and looked in the mirror. Yes, this was the normal Hermione she's
always known. Hermione went over to her vanity desk and picked up an eyeliner
pencil. She started outlining the rim of her eyes.
"Ow, bugger..." grumbled Hermione as she dropped the pencil. She had just poked
her eye with the pencil.
Hermione looked at herself at the mirror again. This was a nice surprise. Yes,
same uniform. Yes, same face, but more matured and sporting a light amount of
make up. No, not the same hair, substituting her pitiful bushy hair was a mop
of brown tendrils cascading down her back. Hermione could feel her eyelids
dropping down from drowsiness. She shook her head to wake herself up more.
Hermione started jogging out of her tower at a light pace, maybe a little
morning jog would wake her up more successfully.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Hermione reached the Great
Hall, a little bit more woken up from her jog. The Great Hall was empty like
usual at this time. The only people to be spotted in here were Kat, Harry, a
few Ravenclaws Hermione didn't know, and a group of Hufflepuff students
Hermione did know. Unsurprisingly enough, Kat and Harry were sitting at the neutral
table discussing something.
'Are these two dating or something?'
Thought Hermione smirking to herself.
Hermione headed their way
and sat across from them whom were sitting next to each other.
"Good morning!" exclaimed Hermione cheerfully. Kat and Harry looked up from
their discussion surprised then smiled.
"Good morning." They both said equally cheerfully.
"So, how are you two lovebirds doing today?" asked Hermione teasingly.
Kat and Harry looked at her with raised eyebrows and confusion.
"Er- Hermione, are you on a medication?" asked Kat a
little worried.
"No." Hermione said a tad confused, "Why?"
"Well, why did you call me and Kat a couple?" asked Harry smiling.
Hermione slapped her forehead, "You mean... You two AREN'T dating?"
"Well um no." said Kat a bit disappointed with Hermione.
"Why would you think something like that?" asked Harry also a bit upset with
her.
"Well, you two have been together so much. And well..." Hermione trailed off
leaving out the part of her eavesdropping on them last night.
"Hermione, is there something you're not telling us?" asked Kat suspiciously.
"Oh no. No, nothing. I was just thinking..." said
Hermione stuttering just a bit.
"Hermione, you never were good at lying." Said Harry smirking.
"Okay. Okay, I overheard you two talking in the library last night." Admitted Hermione throwing her hands in the air.
"Overheard? Or purposely listening?" asked Kat smiling.
"Er, both?" replied Hermione smiling innocently.
"Oh God, Hermione I hope you weren't thinking what I thing you were thinking
last night about me and Kat?" asked Harry amused yet disgusted.
Hermione blushed and nodded.
"What?" asked Kat confused.
Harry cleared his throat and raised his eyebrows suggestively.
"Huh... OH!" said Kat finally getting it, "Oh shame on you Miss. Granger. I
thought you were innocent."
"I am." Said Hermione laughing, "But wait, if you guys weren't talking about
what I think you were talking about then what were you talking about?"
Harry and Kat took a few seconds to take in what she had just said. Then Harry
replied, "Quidditch."
"Quidditch?" asked Hermione.
"Quidditch." Said Kat simply.
"You guys were talking about quidditch and not... ahem?" asked Hermione
embarrassedly.
"Yeah." They both answered nodding.
"Oh wow, and I thought you guys were... Well I owe you guys an apology." Said Hermione a blush creeping up onto her face.
"For eavesdropping or for thinking dirty thoughts about me and Harry?" asked
Kat.
"Both." Hermione replied feeling stupid, "But wait,
since when did you play quidditch Kat?"
"Hermione, she's on the Slytherin Quidditch team. Captain if I must recall." Replied quite pleased.
Hermione blushed again, "Oh, sorry Kat. I had no idea,
I just never thought of you as the quidditch type no offense."
"None taken." Said Kat putting her
hands in the air.
Hermione left before she
embarrassed herself. She took a seat at the heads table obviously not looking
where she was going from her embarrassment. She just sat in someone's lap!
Hermione immediately jumped up after realizing what she had done. Hermione
looked behind her ready to apologize to the person she had sat on. Expecting to
see a repulsive Snape or surprised McGonagall, to Hermione's disgust she saw
the one and only Draco with a smug smirk on his face.
"Listen Granger, we all know that you have a thing for me, but please refrain
yourself from touching my unmentionables." Said Draco.
Hermione was burning with anger now, she had a fire red blush on her face and ears, "Are you sure about that? What type of Head Girl would
I be if I got along with ferrets like you, both physically and emotionally?"
Draco frowned, "Well why don't you make me shut up
then Granger."
Doing the first thing that
came to her mind, Hermione made Draco shut up for sure. Not sure what brought
her to do it, but Hermione Granger shut Draco up with the last thing anybody
would think she would do to him. She kissed him, right there and then. Hermione
kissed Draco with a rage of fire burning in her. You would think she would have
just hexed him, or even slapped him, but no, she kissed him. It was a fiery
kiss that made even Draco want more of it. Hermione could feel Draco's tongue
touching her lips; this brought her back to reality. Hermione's eyes popped
open and pushed away Draco.
"You win." Said Draco standing up and leaving the hall.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Hermione was in her room
thinking about what she had done that day.
"What is wrong with me?!" asked Hermione to no one in general, "Kiss Malfoy why
don't you. This has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever done! Even worse
than the time I let mum take me to the salon."
Hermione felt Crookshanks
jumps into her lap as she sat on her bed. Hermione stroked Crookshanks ginger
fur, "You are so lucky you're a cat Crookshanks. The biggest problem you've had
is finding your own meal when I'm not around to feed you." Crookshanks purred
as if agreeing with her. Hermione let her cat go, and got up to get out of her
room. After he encounter in the Great Hall, Hermione had kept herself locked
inside her room all day, and she was getting a bit hungry. She didn't even stay
to eat breakfast when she came early. It was already 7:54 PM and Hermione hadn't eaten anything all day. Hermione
headed down to the kitchen. Dobby was sure to give her some food; he was always
so generous to everyone.
Hermione reached the painting
of the fruit bowl and tickled the pear. She entered and was immediately greeted
with Dobby running towards her, "Miss, Miss. How can I help you?"
Hermione smiled, "Oh Dobby thank God you're here. I was just hoping to get
something to fill me up. Maybe a large sandwich or a bowl of
soup or something."
Dobby took Hermione's hand and
led here deeper into the kitchen. It was much warmer and Hermione could smell
the fresh food baking or cooking. Dobby handed her a turkey sub from a plate
near by. Hermione gratefully accepted it. After a bowl of chicken soup, a
vanilla ice cream, and two tall glasses of milk later Hermione decided to go
back to her room.
Hermione reached the common
room and she was met with the unpleasant surprise of Draco sitting on one of
the Slytherin coloured couches reading a book. Hermione tried tip toeing as
quiet as possible to get to her room without Draco noticing her. Plan failed,
Draco looked up from his book like an eagle once he realized Hermione was in
the room. She was already half way to the stairs when he looked up.
"Granger." He greeted nodding then going back to
reading his black covered book.
Hermione ignored him and ran up the stairs.
"I don't think I'll ever come to understand men." Sighed
Hermione leaning on her door that she had just closed behind her.

A/N: I just noticed that once again I
missed some reviews from my previous chapter. Forgive for missing you, but I
have included you in this one. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone this time. =)
Your Authoress,
Kat (katcheekz)
Thanks to...
Debatingqueen: Aw, well I wouldn't say I'm better
than you. I actually wouldn't say that I'm better than anyone, I think of
myself just okay at writing, not better than other people. Anyway, thanks for
trying to assure me that my year in grade six will be fine. Also thanks for the
review!
da-lil-one114: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my story. =)
harshipper: Yeah, Draco will crack pretty soon. lol =)
Some12: Thanks! Oh, I'll tell you
how to get the upside down question marks, but I'm not sure if you use
Microsoft Word. First go to Insert,
then Symbol, then you have this
chart of all different types of symbols. If you scroll down you should find the
question mark that's upside down. Hope that helped! =)
DarkAngelKatrina: Yeah, well I don't normally update
everyday. I try to, but unfortunately can't. Mostly on weekends though. Yeah, I
used to take Spanish for five years. Barely learned anything, but this year I
started French. I am a little bit Hispanic, but just a
little.
kole17: Aw, thanks! Yeah, I like to
twist things up in my story.
ProwlingKitKat: Roller coasters rock! One day, when
I'm filthy rich from marrying OB (haha... like that would happen) I'm
going to open an amusement park with ONLY roller coasters. =) Oh and yeah, I
have gone a roller coaster for a consecutive amount of times. Me and my sister
were in Universal with our parents, so we went on this roller coaster (me and
my sister I mean) and we went on about ten times! But I got tired easily cause,
the way you get into the ride is first you go through this awesome castle (air
conditioned. Lol) where there's a bunch of corpes and all that other stuff. See
the coaster was called dueling dragons. I swear, at one of those ten times we
went on, I felt like I was gonna fall out of my seat since it was the type of
roller coasters that let your legs hang around. But I love taking risks! I
asked my parents to go sky diving once, and obviously they said no. lol
Angel in Disguise: Thanks! Oh, I'm
eleven and in sixth grade. I'm turning twelve this Feb!
prongsthemaurauder: THANKS! =)
A/N2: Anyway, thanks again guys! I hope
I didn't miss any of you guys again!
