servatis a maleficum: And no I'm not going to kill people off because killing people makes the people who killed people bad people. Did you understand that? Haha. I'll take your ideas and think about them.

Fiery Slut: Oh my God! I forgot to mention that he was wearing a towel, haha. Yeah he wasn't supposed to be naked. But if he ever is, I'll definitely tell you. Haha.

easily amused child: I'm glad you finally got the time to read mine. It makes me feel better that people want to read my stories and then when they finally do they're like "Oh my God, this is such an awesome story, hurry up and right the next chapter!" or something like that.

Anyway, back to the story.

Chapter 4

~Divination, 7:16~

"Now 6th years, we need to concentrate. We have a big project to show the," Trelawney was at loss of words. "Err, what was that group called? They come to the school every ten years or so and check our progress. If they don't like it, they suggest the professors taking a class for this class. They have a substitute for a while." Trelawney sounded like a muggle teacher.

"In muggle schools, they usually call that a school board." Hermione stated.

"She would know because she is half muggle. Why not just send her to a muggle school? We'd be better off without her." Malfoy said. Hermione turned her head with disgust in her eyes.

"But then we'd have to replace her with you." Ron said sounding slightly mystified.

"Quiet class, or that's detention for both of you." Trelawney said. "And what Miss Granger said was right; it's like a school board. 20 points to Gryffindor." Hermione tried not to smile or be embarrassed.

"Yeah, she can go fuck Potter and Weasley at the same time." Malfoy said under his breath as he stretched.

"Why don't you go fuck Crabbe and Goyle at the same time?" Hermione said under hers.

"What?" Ron asked quietly. "Did you say that I needed to go fuck Crabbe and Goyle?"

"Oh yeah, that's exactly what I said, Ron. I was talking about Malfoy."

"Oh, I see. Never mind then."

"Now get your supplies and start making your horoscopes for the month." Hermione rolled her eyes, stood up and went to the little shelf with all the supplies on it. She found herself crouching next to Malfoy.

Hermione lost her balance and then found herself pushing Malfoy to the side. He looked at her with a dumbfounded look on her face, then his expression changed to an irritated one.

"What the hell, Granger." He hissed at her.

"I didn't mean to, I lost my balance and-"

"Save it, mudblood. I don't need those shitty excuses of yours." She narrowed her eyes as she brought herself back up. But then she knocked her to the ground.

"You're such a whore, Granger. No wonder people don't like you!" Malfoy whispered loudly. "Jesus Christ! What's your problem?" He stood up and left her alone after that. Hermione watched him walk away with her lips pursed.

~Common Room, 7:19~

Hermione sat by the fire staring at the face of Viktor Krum.

"But I love you, Hermione. Vhy can't you just understand that?"

"Krum, I don't love you. It was just a summer thing to keep me occupied until school came around. Besides, I was thinking of someone else, anyway. Sorry, I really am."

"Hermione! Vhat are you talking about? I thought you truly loved me. Vas I being used? And vho vere you thinking about the vhole summer?"

"First of all, I was saying that we can't be together anymore. Second, I did, for like 2 seconds. Basically you were being used, but I didn't want to tell you. And I was thinking of . . ." Hermione remembered her reputation situation. Ron! Everyone knew that Ron liked her for the longest time. "Ron, you know. Ron Weasley."

"But, Hermione. I . . . I refuse to break up vith you. I am in mad love with you, Hermione Granger."

"Err, okay. Whatever, I have to go now. I've already got a whole bunch of homework. Bye, I'll talk to ya later though." She stood up as Krum's face disappeared. She turned around and saw Ron sitting near one of the tables, tapping his fingers.

"Was that whole conversation true?" Ron asked with suspicion in his eyes. Hermione's heart was beating faster than Harry's broom cool fly. What would she say?

"Erm . . . yeah. I guess it was." Hermione wanted to kill herself. She didn't like Ron. Who was she fooling? Herself and everyone else.

~Room of Requirement, 9:12~

Hermione found her self in a room of books that covered topics from lying to being truthful to yourself to teenage love.

"God, where to start?" Hermione questioned herself.

"Probably where the bitches usually start." Hermione turned her head and saw Malfoy.

"What are you doing here?"

"Looking for a place where its quiet is. Where you can hear your own breathing instead of other people's." Hermione completely shifted her body to face him. "But I'm going to leave now sense you're here. I don't need to be in the same room with a mudblood."

"Jesus, what's your problem?" Hermione asked. "You. Ever sense what I said to you in the hall, you acted like people don't care about reps. Just cool off. Pansy thinks there's something going on between us now. She talks to me about you everyday."

"Oh my God, Malfoy. You're so dumb. God, why don't you just tell her you hate me?" Hermione yelled at him.
