Worried

Pansy stepped out from behind the book shelf behind the table Hermione was in with Harry and Ron. Pansy was seething inside. They knew. The fucking mudblood told Draco. "They will pay," she thought, then let out a low evil laugh. They have no idea whom they are dealing with. With that thought in mind, she left the library and headed for her dorm, already formulating the contents of the letter she was about to write.

After dropping Ron and Harry off in the Gryffindor common room, she headed towards the direction of the quidditch pitch. She needed time alone for herself to think about everything that was going on. Harry and Ron wanted to go with her for protection but told them off. Her life was in danger but she still needed time alone. She climbed the bleachers till the reached the middle and sat down. She took an elastic band out of her pocket and tied her hair. She made herself comfortable and took a little notebook out of the little bag she always carried around and started to write.

I can't believe it. I'm in love. It's the most wonderful feeling in the entire world, to love someone with all your heart and soul. That is how I feel at the moment.

Yes, diary I'm in love. With Draco Malfoy.

Just as she put the period on her last sentence she heard a noise, much like something hovering near by. She quickly closed her journal. Hovering a few feet in front of her was Draco Malfoy. He didn't look pleased.

"What are you doing here alone Hermione?" He said, trying to control the anger inside of him. When he couldn't find her earlier a million scenarios flashed in his mind. Hermione being beaten again, lying on the ground unconscious, each one worse than the next.

"I was just writing. I told Harry and Ron where I was going." She replied putting her journal back into her bag.

"And they let you go alone?!" He got off his broom and stood in front of Hermione. She looked so cute with her hair tied. 'You're supposed to be mad remember?' a voice in his head said.

"Honestly Draco, I don't know what the big deal is."

He grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

"You're hurting m Draco" she said, looking up at him.

"Oh, sorry," he replied, letting go of her arm. He took a deep breath to clear his mind. "The big deal is that you were almost killed the other night and when I couldn't find you I started to worry." He closed his eyes. He was so out of character. If someone had told him a month in advance he would be saying those word to Hermione, he would have hexed that person to hell and back. He realized how he truly loved and cared for Hermione.

The silence was deafening to Hermione. She felt guilty for worrying Draco. She put her hands ton his shoulders and kissed his cheek. He opened his eyes, anger forgotten.

"Granger, you worried the hell out of me and that's all you're giving me? A kiss on the cheek?" he drawled.

"Shut up!" she replied and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips. His put his hands on her hips and pulled her closer, her hands were linked around his neck. Hermione pulled away.

"We should be getting back. I have to go to the library again." He lead the way down the bleachers and held her hand as they walked to the doors of the great hall.

Meanwhile, back in the Slytherin dormitory...

Pansy sat on her desk to compose a simple letter to her father.

Father,

The Mudblood has angered me. I think it's time to raid Hogwarts. Their guards are down since they haven't heard of a killing in a while. Your tactics are working. I cannot kill the Mudblood if the school is still under Dumbledore. Send a reply soon.

Pansy

She blew on the parchment to let the ink dry. She smiled wickedly. Oh the next few days are going to be fun. Her eyes, going from usual black eyes to blood red at the thought.
