Hey guys! Thanks so much for your patience. Over Christmas, things have
just fallen apart for me, the main one being the loss of my mother. I
actually did write a new chapter, but then I got a new computer, so it was
lost. Anywho, I did notice that other people had an author's note. I
suppose I should have one too! Here I go.
Author's note: All characters and places don't belong to me. but I'm sure you knew that already!
There! Ta da! Well, I think that is all I needed to do. If this chapter is angst-y, I'm sorry. I guess I am just in a bad mood! Thanks for your support!
Hermione made attempts to escape, but no luck. Draco had been given orders to make sure this "silly mud blood" didn't get out of his sight. As they walked, Draco and Hermione had a heated conversation.
"You know, you should be happy I made you bite your tongue Granger."
Hermione scoffed, "Oh is that so? How is that Draco, hmm? Enlighten me."
Draco continued, "I gave you a reason to get away from Gryffindor tower, didn't I? I created a diversion so you could get away from your precious Harry, who supposedly broke your poor muggle-stained heart."
Hermione whirled around with her hands clinched tightly into fists, mouth pursed, eyebrows raised. Draco stopped dead in his tracks and glared at her. Hermione coolly said, "Don't say that. Just because your family has been in wizarding forever doesn't mean you are above muggle-borns, or anyone for that matter. I think that muggle-borns are above purebloods because you were practically guaranteed a spot at Hogwarts because of your heritage. I had to actually work my way in."
Draco retaliated immediately, "Worst mistake of Professor Dumbledore's life is letting in slimy little mud bloods like you into Hogwarts."
With that, Hermione let go all of her fury with a swift slap against Draco's cheek. This made him fall to the ground, which left her opportunity to give him a good kick in the rear too. "Jackass. . ." Hermione exclaimed. Draco looked up with ferocity shining in his face. Hermione turned on her heel, and walked away quickly.
She knew Draco would be extremely furious, and was quite frankly afraid of what he might do. She became a little paranoid which caused her to begin to run. She ran down the corridor, turn the corner and WHAM! She ran straight into Cho Chang.
Cho sweetly smiled, "Hermione! Are you alright?"
"Oh . . . yeah, I'm fine." Hermione looked up at the eagle statue, exposing its stone staircase that led to Dumbledore's office to Cho and herself. Cho tried to start up a conversation.
"So, you're here for the head boy and girl candidate meeting too?"
Just then, Hermione glanced down the corridor to see Draco storming up it, right towards Hermione and Cho.
"GRANGER!!!" Draco was gaining on her, and fast. Hermione yanked Cho up the stairs and onto the platform leading to Dumbledore's office.
Hermione noticed that there were a lot of people there. This year they had decided to change the procedure. Instead of choosing a head boy and girl, now they would let the first ten people of each house (five girls, five boys) of the correct age send in their name, and the headmaster and head of houses would look their record over. Hermione, of course, turned hers in first. Unfortunately, so did Draco.
Hermione could hear Draco stomping up the steps behind her, so she darted to the opposite side of the platform, and ducked behind a boy from Hufflepuff. She could feel Draco scanning the crowd for her. The adrenaline was raging through her body, when she noticed something that gave her location away. Cho had followed her to the corner behind the Hufflepuff boy, and began to talk to her. Draco smirked and coolly glided to their location. Hermione stood all the way up and sighed. "Stupid Cho" she thought.
Draco stared into Hermione's eyes when he got there. He didn't stop focusing when Cho tried to chatter some more to one of them, and he didn't glance away when he told Cho to "Buzz off". He just looked into her eyes with a smirk on his face. Just in time, Dumbledore's office door swung open, and Draco escorted Hermione in.
