Chapter 4- Hermione's Problem
**Hermione's POV**
I bumped into someone. "Oh I'm sorry." I said sniffling. I looked up to see who I had bumped into. It was Malfoy.
"Watch where you're going Granger." He sneered, "Why are you crying? Potter and Weasley dumped you? Well, I'm not surprised.
I hiccuped, "Leave me alone you fucking bastard!". I cried, as more tears fell from my eyes. I tried to leave but Malfoy grabbed my wrist in a tight grip. It hurted.
"Hey! You can treat me like that! You, you Mudblood!" He said tightening his grip around my wrist.
I have already had so much trouble, and I don't need anymore! This is it. I am going to punch him. He was just holding on to one arm, so I could use my left hand. I punched him right across his face.
"AaH! You little bitch!" he shouted letting go of me. I ran to the girls bathroom.
Malfoy was chasing me. I got into the bathroom and locked myself in one of the stalls. It was just like in first year of Hogwarts. Ron had made fun of me. Again it is his fault.
I stayed there for about 10 minutes. I heard a high pitched scream, I knew that belonged to Moaning Myrtle. I walked out the stall, and went over to the sink. My eyes were all blotchy and red.
Moaning Myrtle flew out. "Hello Granger. Where's Harry and Weasley?" she asked.
I turned around, "Hi Myrtle. Ron and Harry are in the common room."
Myrtle giggled and asked playfully, "Why are you crying?"
"Because, its none of your business." I snarled. This was getting annoying.
She moved closer. "Come on, tell me. I won't tell anyone else."
Sure.. like I was going to believe her. But I decided to tell her since she was bond to know anyway.
"Fine! I'll tell you. We were talking in the common room, until Elizabeth Delacour comes over and talks to Ron," Myrtle said, " you like him?" I nodded my head and continued talking. "She was flirting with him. Its so obvious. And Ron doesn't even notice! He was just drooling all over her! He really actually drooled!" I finished talking. Myrtle Laughed. I looked at her like she was crazy or something. "What's so funny?". "Oh nothing.. you are just jealous." She said going back to her toilet.
I walked out of the bathroom. Everything is such a blur to me. Ron, Malfoy, Harry and Ginny. Especially Elizabeth. She is so annoying.
I decided to go to the library to do a little reading. I was looking for my favorite book. 'Hogwarts, a History'. I skimmed through the bookcase and finally found it. I was just about to get it when it disappeared. I'd figured someone on the other side of the bookcase got it. So I went over there to see who has it. Guess who it was? Malfoy! Why do I keep on running into him today??

"Give me back my book!" Hermione snarled.
Draco gave her a look. "No, I got it back. Besides it my favorite book."
"Pssh, Yeah right! You like that book? No way! Its my favorite." Hermione said lunging for the book. But Draco just pulled it away. He smirked.
"So, its your favorite book huh? Amazing, I have something in common with a Mudblood. I'm checking this out." He said giving her another smirk that gave Hermione the jitters.
"Hey! Give it to me! I saw it first." Hermione pouted.
"Grow up Granger. You are acting like a child." Draco said putting it on the counter where Madam Pince(A/N: Is that the librarian? Lol. I forgot) was.
Ok, I know Malfoys are evil but I have to ask him. Hermione thought.
"Malfoy, why do you always tease Harry, Ron, and me? And you happen to tease me the most!" Hermione protested.
Draco looked nervous. " Because I just do ok? Now get out of my sight."
Hermione grunted, and left. "Stupid Malfoy, thinking he's the king." She muttered to herself.
Hermione walked back to the common room. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were chatting about quidditch. She walked over to them.
They looked up at her. "Hey Hermione where were you?" Ron asked.
Hermione started going ballistic. "What do you mean? How can you not care about me after all I've done for you?"
Ron looked at Harry who shrugged. "Hermione! What are you talking about?" Ron said.
" You talking to another girl! You liking her! You drooling over her! Why Her??" Hermione screamed. Her hair got all messy.
Ron turned red. "What?? YOU don't even care! Why are you all over me like that?" Ron said.
Hermione quieted down. "because I love you." Her eyes started to water up again. Hermione sat on the couch and brought her knees up to her chin and cried. And cried.
Ron looked upset, and guilty. He never knew Hermione would like him. He never knew anyone would like him. He tried to be gentle. "Hermione, I'm sorry. How was I to know how you felt about me?" Ron said.
Hermione hiccuped. " You were always making me laugh. You were nice, and funny." She managed to give him a small smile.
"Look, I'm sorry. But I can never see you as a girlfriend. You to me are more like a little sister. I still love you." Ron said softly. He brought his arm around her. And gave her a hug.
"Yeah. Its okay Ron. I guess I can't have everything my way." She said. "I'm just glad we are all best friends." She smiled.
Ron looked relieved. " So are you still up for the hotel room with us?" He asked with a grin.
"Yeah!" Hermione said. " I'm getting quite tired. I'm going to bed. Night guys."
Hermione walked back up to their dormitories. The others went to bed too.
Hermione lay on her bed thinking about the day.
**POV-Hermione**
Okay, so maybe this isn't so bad. After all we are still best friends. I cant have everything my way. But he likes Elizabeth for Merlin's sake! I mean, there are many other guys who like her too. He doesn't have a chance!
I thought about Malfoy and how I kept on running into him today. It was quite strange. I actually found out we have something in common! Not that I like it. It is absolutely weird! Plus he even looked cute! I mean. WOW! Okay, I've got to get a grip on myself.
