I'm aware this is very short but it needed to be added, had to keep the pace up to "heart pounding" in this story. And all copyrighted things belong to J.K. pas moi. Read and review!

Chapter 3 : Runaway Carriage

'Ugh, Malfoy,' she thought scathingly, regretting she hadn't allowed Harry to stay. She searched the platform, they were the only two left. "Fuck," she mumbled, climbing into the carriage. Malfoy followed sitting opposite her. She focused her eyes outside the window determined to ignore the scumbag. The carriage moved slowly towards the castle...minutes passed tensely and Hermione was feeling uncomfortable. She stole a glance at Malfoy who was examining his wand. She cleared her throat and began nervously,

"Since we're just sitting here I thought we could-"

"Oh push off Granger," he drawled, "I'm not interested."

"Listen Malfoy, unlike you I take my prefect duties seriously! And I won't lose them because some stuck-up brat like you can't make up his mind about a meeting spot!" she yelled.

Malfoy stared blankly back at her.

"So," she began calmly, "Where do you want to meet this Sunday?"

He raised his eyebrows in mock confusion then pretended to lock his mouth and throw away the key. Hermione clenched her fists reasoning whether or not to pummel him-

Suddenly the carriage picked up speed, forcing Malfoy onto Hermione, knocking the air out of her. She tried to squeal but nothing came out. "What the fuck!?" exclaimed Malfoy, scrambling to get off Hermione. Glancing out the window her eyes widened, she realized they were going in the opposite direction of Hogwarts.

The carriage sped off with Malfoy and Hermione into the night.

I will attempt to answer the reviewer's questions now. okay, when Hermione was confused with a Ms. Smith by McGonagall that was completely coincidental, I just needed a common name to use there and it had nothing to do with the pureblood Smith from the book. Very sorry for the mix-up. I hope these chapters are easier to read, and please REVIEW! It would be greatfully appreciated since I love writing and would enjoy continuing this story! Plus, how will hermione escape this new peril?? And more importantly how will she survive Malfoy???? (God I sound like some slick advertising exec. Although it has been said that I am persuasive.)
