A/N: Sorry for the long wait….not that anybody is reading it!! Except for 3 people. We want to thank those 3 people for reading and reviewing us! The first chapter was kind of on the perverted side…sorry guys but we had to bring up the bet somehow. But that is not what this story is about. It won't be about perverted stuff. We want to clear something up that we accidentally wrote. The first years ride in boats, not carriages. We didn't mean to put that so sorry for the confusion. So on with the chapter!!!!
Hermione's alarm abruptly sounded waking her at 7:00AM sharp.
"Uggh," she whined stretching her arms.
"Hurry up Hermione, get dressed!" Parvati shouted from the bathroom.
"Just 5 more minutes, please!!" Hermione mumbled from under the covers.
"No if you don't get up now you'll be late for double Potions with the Slytherins," Parvati pointed out.
"Oh great, two class periods with the Slytherins," Hermione said sitting up, her now thin hair falling a little past her shoulders. Over the summer, the barber gave Hermione some hair thinning shampoo. Hermione stumbled out of bed, got in the warm shower, brushed and blow dried her hair, put on her make-up, and got dressed. After that, she went down to the Great Hall to eat breakfast with Harry and Ron.
"Hi 'Mione" Harry said and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey Harry!" Hermione said cheerfully.
"Sleep well, Ron?" Hermione asked sitting down to eat.
"Yea, I guess," Ron replied, half asleep.
"Well, well, well. I see Potty and the Weasel have themselves a girlfriend," a voice from behind Hermione said.
"Sod off, Malfoy," Ron said his temper rising.
"Is that all you can come up with, Weasel?" Malfoy shot back.
"At least none of us are going to become Death Eaters," Hermione said coolly, "Like you and your father." Malfoy's eyes turned ice cold. He grabbed Hermione's arm hard and pulled her from her seat. He gripped her upper arms tightly.
"Understand this Mudblood, I am and never will be anything like my father!!" Malfoy exploded with rage.
"Get your hands off my girlfriend!" Harry shouted getting up from the table, his voice expressing his anger. Malfoy glared at Hermione one last time before shoving her into Harry and walking away.
"Are you ok, Hermione?" Harry asked in a soft voice, massaging her arms. She just stood there; looking shocked, and then started to cry softly. Harry took her in his arms and told her that it would all be ok.
~*~ Hermione's POV~*~ ( point of view!)
I didn't mean to make him so angry. I didn't know that it affected him so strongly….maybe I should apologize to him for what I said….wait a minute this is Malfoy I'm talking about here, he doesn't care…..or does he? My thoughts were interrupted by the period bell. Oh no, now I have to go through double Potions with him!
~*~ END POV~*~
Draco walked into the class room with clenched fists and a red face. Hermione tried to apologize but he walked right past her. Inside, Hermione was fuming because he was being so immature about it all. Why can't he just be like the other guys here? Like Harry or Ron? Oh, what am I doing? Wasting my time thinking about Malfoy. (A/N: Gaw!)
"….. Malfoy and Granger ,"Snape interrupted her thoughts
"Huh?" Hermione said aloud
"Oh… were you not listening Mrs. Granger, 5 points from Gryffindor. Seriously, I thought I could expect more from you, well if you really want to know you and Malfoy are paired in this weeks lab assignment." Snape said
"But professor you don't understand I can't work with her!" Malfoy shouted from across the room.
"Well then, if you do well with her I will award Slytherin 50 points for your tolerance with a Gryffindor," Snape said, and a sneer fell across Malfoy's face. He knew that he would never back down from a challenge.
The rest of the day, Hermione and Draco completely ignored each other. Until……….Hermione was headed to Gryffindor Tower after an after-dinner visit to the library. Hermione's shoe lace was un-tied and she stopped to tie it. Just then, Draco came around the corner and tripped over Hermione's hunched back. When he did, he fell flat on his face and his legs had hit Hermione in the ribs. She was holding them wincing in pain.
"Gosh Mudblood. You always seem to be in my way." Draco sneered as Hermione brushed herself off.
"Oh shut up Malfoy. If you weren't being such a baby, maybe I could take the moment to apologize," Hermione said, trying to be cooperative.
"You just don't get it do you Granger? I've had enough apologies in my life and not one has been sincere." Malfoy said truthfully. Oh my gosh. I'm starting to open up to a Mudblood, Draco thought.
Hermione just stared at him, trying to read his emotions through his eyes. For just a split of a second, she thought that she saw a hint of sadness. But just as soon as it came, the moment was over. Unfortunately, now, they were just as cold as they had been earlier and Hermione had no idea what was going through his head.
Draco looked Hermione in the eyes for just one more second and before she could say anything, he turned around and walked away.
~*~ HERMIONE'S POV~*~
I just wish he would open up to me. I wish I could understand what he is going through.
~*~ END POV~*~
Hermione walked back to her dormitory and lay down on the bed, all of these thoughts swarming her head. These were the thoughts that she fell asleep to….she fell asleep to the thought of Draco Malfoy.
Hermione woke the next morning and the dormitory was completely empty, she looked at the clock and it was 9:05 AM. A thought dawned on her, I'm late for Potions!! Hermione got up hurriedly and rushed putting her clothes on. She quickly brushed her hair and put on some blush and strawberry lip gloss, then ran down the marble staircase. She came barging into Snape's class room panting from all the running.
"Oh so you have decided to grace us with your presence Mrs. Granger" Snape sneered at her "Now go and join Mr. Malfoy" Snape said pointing to the table that he was sitting at.
"Why?" she asked surprised
"Why? Well If you had been in my class when it started you would know now wouldn't you?.....I'm giving you and your partner time in my class to work on your projects. Now be seated!!" Snape shouted, and Hermione obeyed, she pulled out a chair next to Draco and took a seat.
"Thanks for being late, Mudblood, I could have used your help you know!" Draco said.
"Sorry, I don't know why nobody woke me up," she said calmly. Draco was just reading in his text book, avoiding Hermione's eyes.
"Are you still mad at me for what I said, I mean come on Malfoy it was yesterday. Today's a brand new day." She said.
"Do I look mad? No, I don't think so, I wouldn't let you get to me," he said hotly.
"Not all scars show, Malfoy," Hermione replied her voice getting louder.
"I don't have any scars to hide," he said, this time his voice getting louder.
"I know you do, Malfoy. I know it has something to do with your father and I wanted to apologize for what I said about him," she said trying to get inside his head.
"I don't want an apology from a Mudblood!!" Draco shouted.
"Mrs. Granger, detention!" Snape shouted above them. Hermione looked around and saw that the entire class was staring at them.
"What?" Hermione asked, shocked.
"You are the one who started it," Snape said.
"Yeah, you did Mudblood and now you've got detention so deal with it!" Draco said smiling evilly.
"Well then, Mr. Malfoy I don't suppose you'd mind accompanying Mrs. Granger in detention now would you?" Snape sneered happily and Draco's mouth dropped open.
