doesn't have much content in this chapter, it's very boring…

Previously: "Will you be my girlfriend?" Draco asked before Hermione could even think of a comeback.

Hermione stared speechlessly at Draco. She was still dazed by the kiss and she had to admit that Draco Malfoy was by far the best kisser she had ever met. The only person that could compare with him was probably Harry.

"Excuse me?" Hermione asked unsurely.

"I asked if you…" Draco started to repeat his question before he was interrupted by Hermione.

"I mean, I heard you. But me?!? Be your girlfriend?!? You must be kidding." Stated Hermione, but she saw the serious look on Draco's face.

"I…I'll have to think about it." Hermione stuttered.

"I see." Replied Draco, as he tried to look down and sad.

'She is so mine now. Though most girls would jump at the chance to be my girlfriend, she didn't. But saying that you have to think about it is as good as yes. I'll have to remember that she's different than most girls, that kiss was just incredible! I can't wait until I break it off with her. She'll be devastated!' thought Draco as he sat in silence.

The rest of the trip remained silent. When their compartment door clicked open, Hermione gave Draco a small smile before she stepped out of the compartment and headed towards Harry and Ron.

~*Hermione's POV*~

'God, of all the people I could've been stuck with in a locked compartment, it HAD to be Malfoy. Urg! WHO could've pulled that sort of prank and made it into a party? Ah! What am I thinking about, it's definitely Fred and George Weasley. No doubt about it. When I get out, I'm gonna have both of their heads. Locking me with Malfoy for the whole train ride. First, I'll kill Malfoy, then when I get out, I'll kill them! Now lets see, how should I kill them… I could torture them first, then I could either, stab them, drown them hex them…'

"Malfoy! Will you stop in…"

'What is he doing! Why is he kissing me? Should push him away? But… hmmm, he's a really good kisser. I surrender. What? Why's he pulling away? Did I do something wrong?'

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

'Girlfriend? Me?' It took a while for the question to process into Hermione's mind which had turned to mush from her kiss.

"Excuse me?"

"I asked if you…"

"I mean, I heard you. But me?!? Be your girlfriend?!? You must be kidding."

'Is he mocking me? I mean, if he really meant it, I would love to. AHH, what am I saying?!?'

"I…I'll have to think about it."

"I see."

'Wow… he looks really down. I hate it when I make someone sad.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione exited the compartment and went in a search for Harry and Ron.

'If I were to say yes and I became his girlfriend, would it be over in a matter of three days? That's what usually happens with the other girls he dates. Maybe I'll ask Harry about it since he probably knows much more about Malfoy than I do since they're both sort of bad boys in crime.'

~*End of POV*~

"Hey Hermione! Where were you? I thought you said that you'd come back and sit with us. Did you know that while you were gone, we had a huge party? The best part was that none of the prefects and heads showed up to stop it! Not that we didn't want you there." Ron exploded once he saw Hermione.

"Speaking of the party, do you know why all the prefects and the heads, including me, weren't there? Because we were locked in! The worst part of it all was that I was locked in with Malfoy!" 'and he made a move on me!' Hermione added in her head.

"Did he do anything to you?" Harry asked, knowing full well that Malfoy wouldn't have given up a chance to continue on the bet.

"Do anything? N..No… he didn't do anything." Hermione stuttered out.

Ron and Harry looked at each other in a knowing look, but decided to not mention anything about it since Hermione refused talk about the truth. So they kept on walking to the group of horseless carriages that were to take them to Hogwarts. But through the trip, Ron seemed to have a pained expression on his face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

          In the Great Hall, the trio sat down in their usual spots at the Gryffindor table. With Harry surrounded by the usual group of fans. Hermione tried to concentrate as the first years went through the sorting ritual and Dumbledore's speech but she kept going into a daze and into La-La Land. She had never been this confused in her entire life. She kept thinking about all the possible possibilities why Malfoy would do such a thing.

'Perhaps he's planning to get me to like him, them breaking up with me to hurt me. Or it could be another one of his evil schemes and plans. Or maybe, just maybe he might just like me a tiny bit? Nah, why would he like me? The ugly gryffindor bookworm. But I'm not that ugly. Am I?'

          Somehow, Hermione managed to have a few bites of her dinner with Ron by her side interrupting her thoughts for long enough that she got a spoon or two of her soup.

"Hermione! Your supposed to lead the first years to the Gryffindor Common Room, remember?" Ron hissed into Hermione's ear, taking her out of her trance.

"Right. Gryffindor first years over here!"

          After leading the young Gryffindors to the common room, Hermione left through a door from the Gryffindor common room that only prefects could enter to the prefects common room to do some serious thinking. Hermione sat down on one of the red plush love seats just as Malfoy walked into the room.

A/N: I know that this is a very very short chapter… but I'm very busy with this summer reading thing… I mean, whose ever heard of HW in the SUMMER times!!! But, I'll try to update ASAP… not much in this chapter, and this is not a cliffhanger… it's a sucky ending for a chapter…

I was going to write more, but I don't know what to write right now, so…

Mistakes: I just realized that the title for my second chapter says chapter 1 instead of chapter2 which it was supposed to be… so I'm sorry if it confused anybody…
