Chapter 21
Draco sat down at his desk in the common room, ready to finish the rest of the paper that was due tomorrow at the beginning of potions. He quickly read over what Hermione had written, and laughed quietly to himself. "all she needs is the last paragraph" Draco shook his head silently. "All she really needs to do is cite where she received her information on, and it's all pretty much right here" Draco said holding up a piece of parchment with the books she used to look up her potions assignment on. Draco scribbled down what little was left to be done, then got up and went over to the couch he was sleeping on and folded his blanket, and headed off to his on dorm to get his much needed sleep.
Hermione went into her bedroom, and without even removing her robes she climbed into bed and pulled the covers over herself tightly. She quickly turned out the lamp that burned on her beside table, and let herself drift off into sleep.
"no" Hermione mumbled in her sleep, "please, please don't hurt me" She said in a whimpering voice, as she tossed and turned in her bed. Dreams were invading her every being. Hermione shot up in bed, cold sweat was dripping from her forehead. Chill bumps were on her arms. "Thank God it was only a dream," Hermione whispered. "I think I am going to ask Madam Pomfrey about some dreamless sleep potions in the morning" She mumbled to herself, as she laid back down on the bed.
Morning came too soon when Hermione's Alarm clock rang. She was thankful that she didn't have anymore dreams that night; she didn't know how much more she could take. She quickly got up out of bed, and grabbed her clothes for today and headed down toward the bathroom to take a quick bath before potions. She wasn't feeling to hungry at the moment, so she decided to skip breakfast. When she reached the bottom of the common room stairs Draco was sitting in a chair in front of the fireplace. "Good morning Mione" Draco said with his back turned to her, He was looking at the paper in his hands. "Did you sleep well" He ask.
"Not really" Hermione said shrugging her shoulders a bit, even though Draco couldn't see her. "What are you reading."
"Our potions paper, incase Snape asks some questions, it would look a bit suspicious if I didn't know the answers" Draco replied. "But anyways are you ready to go to breakfast" Draco questioned.
"You go on ahead I think I will just come strait to potions, I'm not that hungry anyways" Hermione said as Draco turned around to face her.
"You have to eat Mione" Draco said in a no nonsense tone.
"I'll eat lunch, I'll be fine." Hermione reassured, as she headed off toward the bathroom.
"Fine if you insist on not going to breakfast I'll bring you a muffin or something, to class you can eat it afterwards or something" Draco said shaking his head at Hermione.
"Fine" Hermione sighed. "But you better go so you won't be late for breakfast" Hermione said with a smile as she slipped into the bathroom shutting the door.
Draco slowly got up from his chair, and put the potions essay inside his backpack, and headed off toward the Great Hall for breakfast. When he got there he saw that his seat that one that he had sat in for seven years was occupied by none other than Pansy. "What does she think she is up to now" Draco ask himself.
"Drakiekins, I am keeping you seat warm for you" Pansy called as Draco got a bit closer to her.
"No need for that Parkinson" Draco said in a harsh whisper.
"Oh poo Draco, no need to be harsh about it, I just thought that I would help out my favorite guy" Pansy said in her shrill voice.
"I do not need your help Parkinson" Draco said his voice cold.
"But Draco I could help you so much" Pansy whispered in what she thought was a seductive voice. Draco turned around and started toward the door. "Drakie where are you going" Pansy pouted.
"Suddenly I don't feel quite so hungry anymore" Draco said as he continued walking toward the exit, he grabbed two muffins on his way out and started to make his way to the dungeons.
Hermione got out of the bath feeling clean and refreshed. "Mmm nothing like a good bath to make you feel good again" Hermione said to herself as the quickly got dressed and did a few spells to dry her hair, and curl it. She exited the bathroom and went into her room and applied a light layer of makeup before she picked up her backpack and left the common room heading for potions.
Hermione had almost made it into the door of the potions room when someone pecked her on the shoulder she turned around quickly only to come face to face with Ginny Weasley. "Hey Mione" Ginny said in a low voice "Can I ask you something" "Sure Gin what is up" Hermione ask her voice just as low.
"I was wondering why my brother was mad at you." Ginny said looking Hermione strait in the eye. "I mean you don't have to tell me if you don't want to it's your business after all but I wondered what put him in such a bad mood." Ginny ask.
"He hit me" Hermione said with a frown on her face, "Then he accused me of snogging Malfoy, after that"
"Oh" Ginny said a frown also crossing her face.
"And he expects me to apologize for breaking up a fight that could have happened between him a Draco." Hermione huffed crossing her arms over her chest. "I think not" she added.
"Hermione you just just called him Draco" Ginny said in an astonished voice.
"I guess I did, but he does have a name you know, I am working with him as Head Girl I couldn't go around calling him Malfoy or ferret face all the time now could I" Hermione said in a causal voice, but Ginny saw the sparkle in her eyes when she mentioned him.
"Why thank you Hermione for refraining from calling me ferret face" Draco said coming up behind the to.
"Oh Draco it's you, you almost gave me a heart attack" Hermione said a smile on her face.
"Yeah well can't let Potter and Weasel get any house points someone has to be here to sabotage there potions" Draco said in an offhanded sort of way. "Oh by the way, I brought you a muffin, Hope blueberry is ok with you" Draco said handing Hermione the muffin, brushing his fingers against the palm of her hand.
"Why Thank you" Hermione said caught up in her own world, one with only her and Draco that she didn't even notice Ginny saw that exchange that came between them.
"Listen Hermione I have to go to class, but I will see what I can do about Ron" Ginny said as she quickly turned and walked away a smile playing on her lips. "yes they would make the perfect match" Ginny said to herself as she made her way to class.
