Hermione quickly gatherd her clothes from her trunk and went downstairs to take a quick bath before she went to breakfast. Hermione quickly went into the bathroom and started the water for her bath. "Good morning " Marti the mirror chirpped to Hermione.
"Your awake early this morning Marti" Hermione said as she sheded her clothes and slowly got in the tub allowing herself time to adjust the the warm water.
"yes, yes I am seems I don't get any good gossip now adays if I'm not up early That headboy won't tell me a thing" The mirror snorted. Hermione just shook her head. "So tell me what have you been up to lately" The mirror ask
"Not much of anything really" Hermione replied while shampooing her hair.
"Really that isn't the story around the common room from what I heard the Headboy Has spent the past two nights in your room" the mirror said in a matter of fact tone. Just as there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Hermione would you mind hurrying it up in there I don't want to be late for breakfast" Draco called from the other side of the door.
"Isn't he Mister Impatient" The mirror said a little to loudly because Draco heard her.
"I wasn't talking to you"Draco called to the mirror, as Hermione laughed.
"Give me a second Draco and I'll be out"Hermione said laughter rang in her voice as she rinsed out her hair. She quickly got out of the tub and dried herself off with a quick drying spell, and slipped her clothes on. She said a few more quick spells to put on her make-up and to fix her hair and she quickly came out of the bathroom. "Ready"Hermione said with a smile.
"about time" Draco joked "I just don't know why you spend time gossiping to mirrors when you can talk to me" He said.
"They give me intellegent conversations"Hermione joked.
"fine"Draco said and stuck his nose up in the air. "See how well you find your way to breakfast without me"
"alright then Mr. Malfoy I will"Hermione said amusment in her voice as she passed him up and headed out of the portrait hole.
"Mione"Draco called after her taking long strides to catch up.
"Yes"Hermione ask turning to face him.
"I didn't mean it" Draco pouted. Hermione burst out laughing. "What is so funny"Draco ask still pouting.
"You"Hermione answered with a grin.
"Thanks alot Mione now I know that you care"Draco said in a sarcastic voice.
"Your welcome"Hermione said in a sing song voice as she started off again toward breakfast. Draco to headed off and was soon walking by beside her. "Do you think we should go in at diffrent times"Hermione ask suddenly as the neared the Great Hall.
"You mean to keep up image" Draco ask.
"yeah I mean no one knows that I'm not a Mudblood and they might get suspicious if we walked in together" Hermione said.
"If that is what you want Mione" Draco said his voice low.
"Alright Just till we find out who my parents are and can sort out this whole mess we will keep our friendship on the down low."Hermione said with a smile.
"I guess that means we have to put our acting skills to use."Draco said.
"I guess it does"Hermione said quietly.
"I just want you to know Mione no matter what I say to you infront of my house I don't mean it" Draco said in a whisper.
"Me either Draco" Hermione said equally as quite. "You go in first" she added pushing him a little.
"Alright"Draco said as he rounded the corner and saunterd into the Great Hall. Eyes suddenly turned to him as he came in and he took his seat at the head of the Slytherin Table.
"Drakie where have you been all weekend"Pansy pouted as she moved closer to him. "I missed you on the Hogsmead trip."
"How many times have I told you Pansy Not to Call me Drakie, Drakie- Poo, or any other idiotic name"Draco yelled at her and she shrunk back a little. "And though it is none of your business I was in the dorm the whole day catching up on the summer homework I didn't do"Draco added as he filled his plate and started to eat his breakfast. ~~~~~
Hermione walked into the Great Hall her heels clicking as she made her way to the Gryffindor Table. She could she her normal seat between Harry and Ron was unoccupied but chose to sit further down from them. Near the end of the Table. She quickly filled her plate and began to eat slowly. She felt eyes on her back so she turned around slowly and her eyes met a pair of stunning silver ones from across the hall. She gave him a small smile, as he did her and quickly turned around so no one would notice the intrest she had taken in a certain Slytherin. Breakfast was quickly over and Hermione got up and quickly left the Great Hall unaware of two people following behind her. As she made her way back to the Head's Common room to retrieve her bag for the lessons that were planned that day. She had just reach the Portrait that guarded her common room when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Hermione whipped around to come face to face with Harry and Ron. "What do you want"Hermione ask her voice calm, not showing the fury that she felt boiling inside of her.
"Why didn't you sit with us at Breakfast"Ron ask his voice low not wanting to cause a scene infront of his fellow classmates that were in the hall.
"I would have thought that was rather obivious Ron"Hermione said strangely calm.
"We are sorry Herm, I swear I didn't mean to hit you, how was I suppose to know you would step in front of that slimy ferret like you did" Ron ask his anger building up.
"He didn't do anything to you Ron, We were going to talk to Dumbledoor about Head business and you started a fight with him what was I suppose to do let it happen. I'm Head Girl Ron" Hermione Stressed the last part of her sentence. "I can't let my best friends go around picking fights without getting punished for it and I didn't want you to blame me for giving you detention" Hermione almost yelled.
"Hermione your hiding something from us"Ron said his anger taking control. "What now that your Head Girl your to busy to take any intrest in us at all, to tell us things that are important"
"Ron you know that isn't true" Hermione said in a small voice.
"Or is it that your snogging Malfoy, is that why your always around him, always asking for his help defending him, You know your just another Mudblood to him someone he can use and then throw away when he is done with you" Ron raged.
"Ron I think you have said enough"Harry said speaking for the first time since the whole encounter as he saw the tears flowing from Hermione's eyes. "Lets get to class" He said to Ron pushing him forward and the looked back at Hermione and mouthed that he was sorry, as he lead Ron away from her to cool down a bit.
Hermione quickly said the password to the portrait and went and grabbed her books, ignoring the mirror in her bedrooms call asking what was wrong and headed off toward her first class of the day Transfiguration. Hermione made in just in time and quickly found her usual seat near the front beside of who else but Harry and Ron. It wouldn't be her first choice of seating but all the other places seemed full, except for a few spots on the Slytherin side, but she didn't want to enrage the whole Gryffindor house. Ron wouldn't even look at her and Harry kept giving her meaningfull looks saying that he was sorry. So Hermione just stopped looking to her left all together and concentrated on what she was suppose to be doing. Class seemed boring to her, without Ron and Harry's jokes or there pleading for Hermione to help them, and as class came to an end Ron walked right past Hermione like she wasn't even there. Harry started to follow behind but stopped and looked at Hermione "Listen Herm, I'm really sorry about what happend, I should have helped you stop the fight, I'll try to get Ron to come around, he will eventually, just give him time to cool off" Harry said as he went out ot find Ron.
"Thank you Harry"Hermione whisperd to his retreating back as she made her way to her next class. It wasn't long before classes were over for the day and dinner was only an hour away. Hermione headed up to the common room to retrive her potions book so she could get some time in the library to look up the potion that Draco and she were suppose to write an essay about, and turn in tommarrow. She couldn't believe that she had waited so late to get started on this, but thinking about the circumstances of the past weekend she knew why it was held off until so late. Hermione had been working in the library so she completely missed dinner, It was nearing closing time for the library when Hermione packed up her books and went to check them out for futher studying of the subject. Hermione left the library and was headed to her common room she was tired, and a bit hungrey but she would just have to wait till breakfast tommarrow, she only needed another inch and their essay would be complete. She wanted to get it done before going to bed tonight. When she enterd the common room Draco was asleep on his couch his hand hanging off the side of it. "Draco" Hermione whisperd."Draco"She whisperd a little louder.
"Mmm"Draco answerd.
"why don't you head on up to bed" Hermione said softly as he opened his eyes.
"Where have you been"Draco ask sleep still evident in his voice.
"The Library I needed to do our potions essay." Hermione said a small smile on her face.
"Why didn't you come and get me" Draco ask.
"Didn't really think about it i guess" Hermione replied, "Now why don't you go on to bed you look tired" Hermione said.
"what about you, you look like you could use sleep yourself"Draco said yawing.
"Don't worry about me, I'll go to bed as soon as I finish the essay" Hermione said helping Draco up into a sitting position.
"No I had a nap, you go on up to bed, and I will finish the essay."Draco said a smile gracing his lips.
"Draco I don't know, just let me"Hermione started but was cut off.
"Nonsense Hermione you've been working on this all by yourself and your tired now go and get a good nights sleep or I will carry you up there myself"Draco said in a stern voice.
"alright goodnight Draco"Hermione said kissing his cheek and heading up to her bedroom.
