Point Of View Chapter 8

Hermione trudged along the corridor to the Great Hall. She was alone. again.

"Well, if it isn't the little Mudblood, and all alone too. You haven't got Potty and Weasel to come running to your rescue now." sneered Draco.

Hermione sighed. This was the last thing she needed. "Sod off Malfoy, cant you find someone else to pick on?!" Hermione asked, her voice high pitched. She pushed Draco out of the way and continues trudging alone the corridor.

Draco Stared after her in amazement, then started to run after her, he caught up and slowed down.

"Look Hermione, I'm sorry." Draco whispered. Hermione was stunned she couldn't walk.

"You said my name" she said surprised.

"Yeah" Draco replied

"And you apologised. Wait a minute; is this some kind of cruel trick to get me to trust you? Well it isn't going to work." Hermione stated and rushed into the Great Hall before Draco could say anything.

Hermione noticed that she was the first student in the hall.

"Ah, Miss Granger, would you come over here a minute?" asked a voice. Hermione turned around to see Professor Dumbledore, and a young woman who she guessed was the new professor.

"Miss Hermione Granger, I'd like you to meet Professor Willow Rosenburg, who will be your new Defence Against the Dart Arts teacher." Dumbledore then turned to Willow and said, "Miss Granger is one of our top students."

"Its nice to meet you Hermione." Willow said. "I'm Willow, I was wondering if you could help me catch up in what you've learnt so far" Willow asked.

"Sure" Hermione said looking confused.

"Miss Rosenburg is a muggle-born like yourself. But showed no signs of magical ability until she was sixteen." Dumbledore explained.

"Oh" Hermione said, "Sure I'll help you."

"Thank you" Willow replied. "I'll talk to you after class tomorrow."

Hermione said goodbye to Willow and made her way back to Gryffindor's table, and sat down as students began to arrive.
