Also, THANKS TO SPIKA for beta-reading! ^_*
Once again, i would LOVE it if you guys can take the time to click that little purple thingy at the end of the page!!! (",) Moi comments to the reviews will be posted below!!! =)
a/n2: sorry for the delay... ( i know some of u may think tt a gap of two days isn't considered a delay, but me, being a very impatient person, think it is) either sth was wrong wif ff or mi com went haywire. so yah, here's the 2nd chap:
CHAPTER TWO: VENOM
*"Nice incorporation of our bathroom toilet password into such a hateful-sounding sentence" somebody drawled beside her suddenly.*
^*^*^*^
Oh great. Malfoy.
Hermione was so NOT in the mood to deal with his childish insults and sarcastic remarks. Turning to face him she shot him a glare then stalked past him to the towel rack.
"Oh, no comeback, eh?"
Hermione closed her eyes and counted to ten. Six years-- six years of being terribly insulted by Malfoy. She should be able to ignore him, yet he kept getting on her nerves.
"Shut up, Malfoy," she finally hissed. She rued the day Snape elected the jerk as a Slytherin prefect!
"Not in a good mood, mudblood?"
Hermione couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Once again, Malfoy," she snapped. "SHUT UP."
*
Draco slouched against the wall. He had been washing up when he heard a very familiar voice practically spitting venom right at the bathroom door. Granger, he surmised. Considering the toilet pass was only one word ("sea"), she must have been in a rare poisonous fit to have conjured up such a creative way of saying it.
He knew she was in a bad mood and very pissed, of course, but then since when had that put him off from hurling numerous insults at her?
She had told him to shut up. That had caught him by surprise, truth to be told. Yes, he hadn't forgotten her witty comeback lines and stinging slaps on his pale face, but then that was the previous years. Now... lazily he watched her splashing water on her face. Now was different.
Draco had grown over the years, especially since the last summer, and he knew that. Taller... leaner... definitely more gorgeous. He was aware of girls swooning at his feet whenever they met him along the corridors; he was aware of the school-girlish giggles within their whispers... how he had been termed the Hottest Guy of the Year. Towering at six feet two, with platinum-blond longish hair and cool gray eyes... chiseled jaw and that trademark smirk... he was accustomed to the attention and fawning he got. Hell, he might not really be enjoying it, but it was already part of his daily life and Granger's indifference, almost to the point of coldness, towards him really threw him off, not to mention, rather hurt his ego.
Of course, he knew that she hated him. But seventeen was a year of raging hormones for God's sake! Couldn't she behave normally? Like those typical girls?
Then he thought of Ron and Harry. Well... he couldn't really blame her for her bad taste could he? Dating that Weasley! Please! He laughed out loud.
*
Hermione was rather startled to hear the sound of Malfoy laughing at nothing in particular. What's he doing, loitering in here? She thought irritably. Dabbing her wet face with a warm towel she turned to stare pointedly at the Slytherin.
*
Draco frowned defensively. Couldn't a guy laugh in peace?
"What are you laughing at?" Hermione demanded, somehow sensing that she was the butt of his latest joke.
Draco did not reply; instead he gave her the full-body glance that he knew would send a normal girl right off to Heaven. She'll blush, he smirked. She'll blush, fall for me, then I'll have an absolutely enjoyable time making her life hell.
*
Hermione did NOT like the way Malfoy was leering at her. She recognized that look; bookworm-ish as she was she had dated several guys since her fifth year. She wondered why Malfoy was doing that, though... probably trying to cast his spell over me, she grinned to herself. Fat hope. As gorgeous as the boy was she knew his personality too well.
"Are you done staring at me?" she quipped after a long pause.
*
Draco started feeling irritated. Is this gal a human?! Probably no, he answered his own question. Thirty seconds-- yes he had counted-- half a minute of gazing intensely yet she was immune!
"I wasn't staring at you Granger," he retorted quickly.
"Yeah right."
*
Hermione chuckled; how naive did he think she was? Gathering her toiletries up she headed for the pool-size bathtub.
"Now get out of my way, Malfoy. I want to bathe."
*
Draco blinked.
"Like I would want to watch." he snapped, regaining his composure. Watching the brown-haired witch shrug her shoulders he gritted his teeth.
So she thinks she's so great? Stupid mudblood. I'll get her for this, I will. I'll charm the hell out of her, make her break up with Weasel. Then I'm gonna dump her and make her life miserable.
