Point Of View Chapter 12

Hermione and Draco left the classroom together. Despite their mutual friend, they were still enemies.

"You can let go of me now." Hermione said

"Yeah whatever, I was just making sure you'd move quicker. You were moving like a slug."

"You know what? Fuck you Malfoy"

"You wish"

"In your dreams!"

"Yeah, Ha, Me? Dream of a Mudblood like you? You must be joking." Draco sneered at Hermione.

Hermione turned, glaring at Draco, then without warning her hand shot out and she slapped him before dashing off down the corridor.

Draco sighed as he watched Hermione run off.

When Draco met Willow she'd changed him. She was one of the few people who was not intimidated by his name. Willow was unlike any muggle Draco had encountered. She had a lot of power and Draco knew that something had happened to Willow in the past.

The arrival of Willows friend after class made Draco uneasy. It seemed that Willow's past had followed her to Hogwarts. Draco's thoughts shifted from Willow to Hermione.

Draco didn't know why he still made fun of her. It wasn't how he felt. Last year when Hermione arrived at the ball with Victor Krum, he was speechless. Draco had thought that after that perhaps she would get together with Harry or Ron. But she hadn't. He'd noticed her presence in the library more than usual, and she wasn't hanging around her precious Harry or Ron.

She was always alone.

Draco was alone too.

He had wondered if they could be alone, together.

Hermione was furious at Draco and herself. She couldn't believe that Draco's words had affected her so much.

Hermione had been watching Draco lately. At times he was changed. Nice even. Then in a second he was back to the rude Draco everyone knew and hated.

Hate was such a strong word in Hermione's mind.

Hermione had never hated Draco, he confused her, and sometimes she pitied him. She knew he wasn't all bad, as Willow had taken a liking for him. Hermione knew Willow saw a side of Draco no one else did. Not even Hermione.

No.

Hermione didn't hate Draco.

He intrigued her.
