Chapter 2
Disclaimer: same thing.. I own nothing, I'm poor, blah blah blah.
Preview: Draco talkes to Hermione and has a confrontation with Ron.
.........................................................
Later that same day, after leaving the great hall, Hermione was pulled aside by Draco
"Why didn't you report him?" He asked angrily.
"Hermione, knowing he was talking about Ron, sighed. "Because then I would have had to report Harry too"
"Big deal" Draco sneered "Potter may have gotten a disapproving look at the most. What's the real reason?"
Hermione looked trapped for a moment before sighing
"It would have just made him angrier and even more hurtful wouldn't it? I mean.. maybe if I just wait it out a bit he'll calm down."
"Calm down?" Draco repeated incredulously "Like when you end up with a few broken bones? You could have been seriously injured, in case you didn't notice." He finished sarcastically.
"But I wasn't" Hermione said in a pleading voice "Please Draco, can we just drop it?"
Draco eyed her for a second. He still didn't like her. She was still a know-it-all and annoying about it but at the same time he respected her. Seeing her bullied and scared was reminding him of how his father treated his mother. Hermione even had the same tone in her voice while pleading that he not tell anyone as his mother had.
"Alright Granger" he said slowly "But I think you should think more about telling someone."
Draco knew she wouldn't. He saw the relief on her face as she hurriedly agreed and rushed off. As he stood watching her run off a voice behind him said
"She is not really worth all the attention Malfoy, perhaps you already know that though." Ron said snidely "It would be fitting though, her ending up a slut to a Slytherin"
"I can say it would probably be a vast improvement in taste if she started sleeping with a Slytherin" Draco sneered "But seeing as how she was the only bit of taste you ever had, or will have, I wouldn't expect you to know that."
Ron flushed angrily but Draco wasn't done. In a deadly voice even his father would have been proud of he said
"Leave her alone Weasley. If she is hurt because of one of your stupid pranks I'll see you screaming in pain"
Ron took a step back from the venom in Draco's voice before realizing it. He flushed again and smiled nastily
"I'm not doing anything she doesn't deserve Malfoy."
Draco laughed darkly
"Talk about not being able to deal with rejection." He mocked "Her rejection should be looked at as practice for the rest of your life. Get used to it."
As Ron went storming off, Draco smiled and thought the title Prince of Slytherin fit him very well indeed. He also made a decision about Hermione. Hermione may not be telling a professor what was going on but it didn't mean he couldn't. She didn't ask him to not say anything after all... she just asked him to drop the conversation with her. After a few more minutes thought towards a plan, Draco moved resolutely towards the dungeons.

OK preview for the next chapter: Draco talks to Snape.
"I'm not supposed to be here, telling you this I mean" Draco blurted out
"Considering you haven't told me anything you haven't really betrayed anyone yet Mr. Malfoy" Snape replied blandly "Now what is this about?"
"It's about Granger" Draco admitted
dum dum duuuumm.
I'm working as fast as I can to get the next 3 chapters up as soon as possible. I'm about 3 chapters up and I'm going to try to keep it that way.
