Chapter 3

Last chapter: Mindy turned around. "Draco," she replied coldly.

"So tell me, why did you come to Hogwarts? What couldn't you live without me?"

"Of course I can live without you, only an arrogant prick like yourself would think otherwise."

"Arrogant prick now am I?"

"Yes now you are, but you always have been."

"I am hurt."

"Good."

"Seriously what brings you to Hogwarts then?"

"I decided I wanted to live with my father, France bored me."

"I see, well you should know, it's not good to hang around with Mudbloods like her." Draco said pointing at Hermione.

"See Draco, this is why me and you are so different, you have this thing about muggle-borns which there is nothing wrong with being muggle-born, don't you remember Lindsey? She was a muggle-born you know. I believe you were actually quite fond of her."

"Yes, but that was merely because of our relationship. It's weird though, the Mindy I used to know would have been put in Slytherin for her oh so cunning ways."

"Please, just because I'm not in Slytherin doesn't mean I'm not cunning. Plus green isn't exactly my favorite color."

"Yes, but black is."

"Yes it is, but too much green can make black look horrible, plus I get to wear black anyways, my robes. Listen Draco I don't exactly have time to stay and chat. Hermione and I were just going to get some breakfast so maybe I'll see you in classes later. Bye." With that she took Hermione's hand and dragged her into the Great Hall, while with her other hand waving goodbye to Draco.

"What was that all about?" Hermione asked.

"Well he came to France over the summer and I met him, we dated for a little while but I broke up with him because he was coming back here. Plus even though we are quite the same, he gets on my nerves. He knows just how to push my buttons. Do you know what I mean?"

"Well yes, I mean I understand about pushing the wrong buttons. But how could you date scum like him?"

"Ah, well he really is quite charming and cute. He has a brain too it's not like he doesn't know what he's talking about."

"Would you have broken up with him if you would have known you were coming to Hogwarts?"

"Ya know, I really don't know. Maybe I would have, maybe not. But don't listen to him too much, he's just really arrogant."

"I don't listen to him at all. Harry, Ron, and I have been enemies with him ever since our first year."

"Well I'm not exactly going to ignore him; I mean I shared a lot of stuff with him. He's always kind of going to be there in my life. Even if he's halfway across the world from me."

"I don't know how you could ever share anything with him, isn't he kind of cold hearted."

"Yea, it takes some time to learn to trust him. But I knew him for almost 2 months."

"Do you still like him? Or regret that you broke up with him now that you're here."

"I like him as a friend, but what's happened has happened, there's no changing the past so no I don't regret it."

"Oh, ok."

"Well, lets get something to eat. I'm starving." Nothing else was said during breakfast and they made their way down to potions not talking. "So what's the teacher like?"

"Totally unfair, he's always taking points from Gryffindor, so don't feel downhearted if he takes points from you. That's just him. See he's the head of Slytherin house."

"I see," with that they sat down at a desk in the very back of the classroom. Just before the bell rang Draco walked past their table and slipped a note into Mindy's hand. Harry and Ron came running in and sat down quickly on the other side of Hermione. They nodded at the girls and started taking out there things.

"Why weren't you guys at breakfast?" Hermione questioned.

"Slept late," was all Harry said as Snape walked through the classroom door. After his speech he told them to get working. They started working silently. After class they had break.

"I'm going to get my books for our next class. I'll see you guys there ok." Mindy said.

"I'll come with, since you don't know where the classroom's at." Harry said.

"Oh, ok thanks." With that they made their way to the common room not talking. "I left my book in my dormitory; I'll be down in a minute. She rushed up the stairs. Sure she had her book already but she wanted to read the note from Draco. She opened it up.

Mindy,

I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you this morning, please forgive me? Well anyways I was wondering, since you're at Hogwarts now, do you want to go back out with me?

Draco

Mindy quickly posted her reply on a sheet of parchment.

Draco,

I'm sorry to say that I don't really like you in that way anymore. I still want to be your friend and I will be just that. I'm sorry things didn't exactly work out between us, I'll see you soon.

Mindy

Mindy went back down to the common room to see Harry sitting on the couch. "That took quite a while."

"Oh well, I misplaced it and I had to look for it." Harry started walking out the portrait hole. "Hey Harry," she said catching up to him. He looked over at her, "do you think you could take me to the Owlery tonight? I need to post a letter."

"No problem, why don't we go after dinner tonight?"

"Sounds fine to me, we have Defense Against the Dark Arts next right?"

"Yea," Good Mindy thought, I can't wait to see Umbridge, an evil smile playing across her lips.

A/N I know another cliff hanger, please don't flame! So what do you think about the whole Draco/Mindy thing? Do you have any ideas on what to do in Umbridge's class? Please review, it would really make my day!
