After swiping his book back from Blaise, he proceeded to drag Hermione to their next class: History.
§Ä§
"Now class, today we would be doing a project." The teacher announced as he walked in. "Don't complain, you will be writing an essay, make a slideshow or make a movie on one myth or legend of your choice." A student from the front row raised his hand, which the teacher completely ignored.
"Got it? Good, now I'll pair you up and then I want you to get working." With that the teacher sat in at his desk and observed the students.
"Patil, Crabbe." Hermione turned to look at Draco as he sat there looking straight ahead.
He sat still through out the conversation; he didn't participate in any of the events and only moved when he was paired up with Pansy Parkinson. She watched him until everybody was paired up; looking around she noticed that she had nobody to pair up with. The teacher seemed to notice it too.
"Draco," The said person turned to look at him. "Why don't you pair up with Hermione? Since you are already giving her a tour around the school. Pansy you can pair up with Dean and Neville." The two unlucky guys groaned.
Draco walked across the room, he wasn't really happy. Not because he wouldn't be with Pansy, no he was ecstatic, but with being paired up with Hermione. He sat down across from Hermione. She seemed to be nervous, or so he observed. His eyes turned to her as she spoke.
"Are you and...and Pansy a couple?" Draco looked at her with raised eyebrows. He felt like laughing, but held it in.
"No." He answered, plain and simple.
"Oh," She looked down in her lap, before looking back up. "So, what do you think we should do our report on?"
"Just pick something and let's get this over with." Hermione glared before starting to think.
"Unicorns?" He stared at her like she was nuts.
"Dragons?" He shrugged and leaned back, closing his eyes and propping his feet up onto the table.
"Demons?"
"Too many."
"Angels?" He cracked open an eye.
"Angels?" Hermione nodded.
"So which is it? Dragons or angels?" Draco let his feet fall to the floor with a thump.
"Everybody already knows about dragons, we should do angels." Hermione looked at him.
"I wanted to do dragons." Draco leaned forward on the desk.
"We're doing angels." Hermione kept her stare up.
"No, we're doing dragons."
"Angels!"
"Dragons!"
"Angels!"
"Now why in the world will a boy like you want to do a project on angels?"
"Why would a girl like you want to do a project on dragons?" Draco looked at her with a fiery expression.
"Because I think they're fascinating." She responded with the same fiery expression.
The teacher came walking over. "Now what is this fuss on angels and dragons?"
"He-"
"She-" They started.
"Hermione?"
"He wants to do the project on angels but I want to do it on dragons."
"Why don't you do angels," Draco smirked at Hermione. "And dragons?" His smirk soon turned into disbelief.
"Both?" The teacher nodded.
"That would settle the argument, wouldn't it? Well, carry on." With that the teacher walked away.
They glared at each other, before Hermione stood up and took her books. "If you would so kindly show me to the library I would start on the project." Draco crossed his arms.
"And if I don't want to show you where the library is?" Hermione smirked and looked around the classroom, before turning back to him.
"It wouldn't matter, I can always go ask Blaise to show me around." Draco got up and grabbed his books.
"Forget about him, I'll show you where that library is." Hermione smiled to herself as she followed him out of the classroom.

Hermione looked around amazed as they entered the library. Draco walked in passing her and walked to the Fiction Section, ignoring Hermione and her dazed expression. Searching in the A section he picked out a book and sat down on one of the burgundy chairs in the library. Hermione snapped out of her dazed expression and went to search in the Fiction Section too. Taking out a book on Dragons, she also sat down in one of the burgundy chairs in the reading section. She opened the book and began to read, completely ignoring Draco.
§Ä§
Draco looked over his book to see Hermione sit down and begin to read, he looked down at his book, studying the picture of the angel piercing a demon with a staff. Light was surrounding the angel in the background. Typical Angel, he inwardly sighed, an angel would make his life a whole lot better. He looked at Hermione again before turning the page and continued reading.
§Ä§
They both stayed in the library for what seemed hours but soon the bell rang and class ended. Hermione and Draco checked out their books, Hermione staring amazed at the technology called the computer, receiving odd looks from the librarian and Draco.
§Ä§
As soon as school ended, Hermione rushed out, clutching her books. What a day! She was exhausted and being near Draco didn't help one bit. Every single teacher made them pair up together. She sighed and continued walking down the street, not seeing the light turn green on the traffic light. She turned to look as a car came rushing toward her, the honking growing louder as the driver tried to slam on the brakes. She was frozen in place; she lifted her arms to shield herself.
§Ä§
Draco was walking home, he preferred the outside than the car; he looked across the street to see the new student stupidly walk across the street as the light turned green. He stared wide-eyed as a car came rushing forward. She was going to be killed! He watcher he cover herself in attempt to shield herself from the speeding automobile. Then it all happened in slow motion. He watched as the driver slammed on the brakes and Hermione cover herself, but then the impossible happened. He swore he saw the car pass through her. He blinked to clear the dust out of his eyes, when he opened then she was gone. 'Impossible, I must be hallucinating. No way she could have been there, all a figure of my imagination.' The thought didn't convince him but he just shook his head and walked on.
§Ä§
Hermione let the breath she had been holding go. That was close. Good thing she had been paying attention in class or she would have never survived. She closed her eyes taking deep breaths; she had teleported just in time too, but not very far, just around the corner. Suddenly her eyes snapped open, she just used magic and in front of humans too! She gasped. And Draco Malfoy was there! She groaned what a way to begin life on earth.
