I'm so sorry. For some reason this chapter had become the third chapter. So
most of you had no idea what was happening. I fixed this as soon as I
could. I hope this clears up a few things. Again, sorry for those who were
inconvenienced.
I do not own Harry Potter.
Thanks to those who left a review.

As she sat down and joined Ron and Harry for lunch, they asked her what she went back for.
"Oh, just some notes on stuff I KNOW will be on the test and that I think you two will overlook." As she explained some of the material to them, her mind kept wondering to Draco.
"Hermoine!" Ron snapped his fingers in front of her face. She found that she was once again staring at Malfoy, who was across the room eating at his table.
"What?"
"You were spacing out again."
"Was I"
"Yes you were." He said, "And you were staring at Malfoy."
She shook her head "No I wasn't."
"Yes you were. You were looking right at him."
"If I was, it wasn't intentional. I just have a lot on my mind."
Ron seemed to buy it, Harry, on the other hand, didn't look too convinced. But he dropped the subject and they ate the rest of their lunch
%^%^%^%^%^
After lunch they had transfiguration with McGonagall ((sry if it's spelled wrong)) and (thankfully for the three Gryfindors)) Ravenclaw instead of Slytherine.
As the class went on her mind, yet again, was wondering to Draco, their strange meeting they had by the dorms, and the one later tonight
"Miss Granger?"
She snapped from her thoughts. "Yes, Ms. McGonagall?"
"Now that you've joined the class, could you show us the proper technique for turning an inanimate object into a living one?"
"Yes ma'am." She did so and managed to keep focused on the rest of the lesson.
%^%^%
As the trio made their way out of class, Ron and Harry started asking Hermoine what was wrong. "I already told you. NOTHING is wrong with me"
"But you keep spacing out like you're in some kind of trance. Even in McGonagall's class! Something must be wrong."
"Well there's isn't!" she snapped. "And even IF there was I wouldn't HAVE to tell you. But there's nothing wrong so you don't have to worry!" she sighed and turned to leave. "... I'll meet you guys later for dinner."
"Hermoine..." Harry called after her, but she didn't turn around. She continued to go to her dorm.
&$&$&$&$&$&
She sat in the armchair of the Head Common Room with her Transfiguration book, along with her pen and parchment, in her lap, looking for in information that would defiantly be on the N.E.W.T.S.
She must've dozed off or something cause the when she looked at the clock it was almost 6:30. (It was about 4 when she started) She was late for dinner.
"Oh Bloody Hell" she muttered under her breath as she left her belongings in the chair and rushed to the dinning hall.
As she left a figure stepped out of the shadows. Draco watcher leave just as he watched her while she slept. He smirked as he seen her close the door behind her and he went into his room.
!@!@!@!@!@
"Glad you finally made it Hermoine. Me an' Harry was about to come looking for you"
"I'm sorry, I fell asleep while I was taking notes."
They stared at her. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yes, I just haven't been sleeping well... weird dreams." About someone you don't wan to know. ((she added the last part mentally))
"What kind of dreams?"
"I don't want to talk about it. Besides... I don't even really remember them anyway" Which was the truth. The only thing she remembered about the dreams was that they involved Draco Malfoy, and if Ron and Harry knew that they'd be furious.
They dropped the subject and they discussed the N.E.W.T.S. as they finished their dinner.

Wednesday Night
By the time Hermoine made it back to her room and finished all of her homework it was 9:45, so she figured she should just go wait for Malfoy in the Common Room.
Normally she would have told Malfoy to meet her a little later, but she knew the other Heads went to bed early.
When she got there, however, she found that Malfoy was already there. "Why are you already here?" she asked, clearly surprised.
He shrugged. "Had nothing better to do."
She sat down next to him on the couch with some of the textbooks she had brought from her room. "So what do you want to start with? You are taking this classes aren't you?"
"Yeah. I guess we could start with Potions, that will most likely be the hardest."
Hermoine asked him the purpose of some potions, and the key ingredients of others. All of them, she was sure, would be on the N.E.W.T.S.
It was near midnight when they decided that that was enough for the night, they would have stayed longer, but they both had morning classes.
Hermoine, I would appreciate it if you didn't tell Weasly or Potter about this. I'm a man of my word and I 'd hate to break it because they knew what you were doing for me."
Not only did she that he didn't say her friends' names with contempt and spite in his voice like he usually did, but he also said her first name, instead of calling her Granger.
"The thought didn't even cross my mind. Besides, helping you study is also helping me. Ron and Harry would be too pissed off about me helping you to understand that."
He smiled at that, and it wasn't his famous smirk she was so used to seeing, but a genuine smile. She never seen him do that before, but she decided that she liked it when he did and she couldn't help but smile back.
After a moment his smile turned into a smirk, "You do realize how hard it will be for me to fulfill my end of the bargain, especially without letting people, especially Potter and Weasly, that I haven't gone soft.
She hesitated at that. "Well... if they say something to you, you could insult them back, but little insults.... And absolutely no pranks."
The smirk was still on his face and he looked like his normal cocky self. "Like I said Granger, I'm a man of my word."
She nodded and went to leave, but before she could she felt him grab her arm. "Hermoine..." She felt her heart race as she turned toward him. "I... thanks" he murmured, looking at the ground.
She gave him a small smile and nodded her head in acknowledgement.
He turned and quickly left the room.
She picked up her books and went to her room to go to sleep.
@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
Hermoine woke up the next morning with a frown. She was getting tired of not being able to remember her dreams. She only knew who the dreams involved, but nothing else. Sometimes they were just about her and Draco. But other times they also included Harry and Ron, and even a few had Lucious, Draco's father.
She shook her head, trying to shake away the confusion and frustration.
As she got ready for the day (showering, getting dressed, ect...) her mind kept wondering to Malfoy and what her dreams could've been.
When she thought the idea that they could've been of a romantic nature, she immediately dismissed it and thought she should be revolted by it.... But she wasn't... And that scared her. 'How could I not be disgusted by the thought of being romantically involved with that... that.... Fiend?!' she thought to herself.
A voice in the back of her head spoke up. 'Because he isn't one. You seen him last night. He was nothing like the Malfoy you knew all those years.'
'Only because he wants something' she answered.
'Yes,' the voice said 'you' and it said no more.
Now Hermoine was pretty much freaked out. How could she possibly think those kinds of thoughts? If anyone, you'd think I'd be Harry she'd be interested in.
She shook her head, took her disturbing thoughts and locked them in the back of her mind.
She put on a smile and went to join Harry and Ron for breakfast.
((A/N: okies that was the chapter that accidentally got left out. It basically just shows you their first tutoring session and how they reacted to each other. I hope you liked it. But whether you did to you didn't, please review and let me know))
I do not own Harry Potter.
